Member Testimonials
I’ve learned SO much in a short amount of time, and my growth as an Olympic weightlifter has been wonderful because of you guys. I have more confidence in performing the lifts and have a great time training at your facility.
Validus is the only gym that has provided that support, experience, and programming that I was missing. From building a program to get me to my first meet, to answering questions about meet rules, to assessing technique, to just about everything I could think of – they have it covered. Not to mention, they are the friendliest people you could come across. If you have a fitness goal, you’ll meet it here!
