If you haven’t been in a gym environment for a while (or ever), it can feel intimidating. Vicki’s nonjudgmental and encouraging approach helps people feel comfortable in the gym environment first. She takes a balanced approach to nutrition and fitness, working to help people make sustainable changes that will make a big impact on their long term wellness. Maybe most importantly, she makes it her mission to make every time you’re in the gym enjoyable.
Vicki is passionate about helping women in perimenopause and menopause feel their best. When Vicki went into menopause, debilitating symptoms led her to take her health seriously and learn to work with her body instead of fighting it. She took a deep dive into nutrition and added functional fitness training to help manage chronic pain. She works out so she’ll be able to stay active well past 70, and she can help you feel your best as you age too.
​
Outside of coaching, she is a proud mother of two grown sons, loves to travel, enjoys reading, working out, and tuning into wellness podcasts for inspiration.​

SUCCESS STORIES
I’ve only been a client at Valiant Fitness since April 2023, but I can’t imagine not going there four times a week and training with Brendon as my one-on-one personal trainer. I’ve never exercised in my life but
decided to start this year to get healthier, more balanced, and add more stamina with both knees replaced that never stop hurting. I look forward to the workouts and I actually miss it when I can’t make a session. Brendon has a great sense of humor and makes working out fun while pushing me every time, even when I don’t think I can get through another set. He is always adding new equipment and changing up the routine to keep things fresh and challenging while keeping my limitations in mind. He coaches me in my personal nutrition and at-home health needs to make sure I am doing everything right to reach my goals. It’s the total package.
It’s not just another gym or personal trainer. I believe Brendon and Justin, Valiant’s owner, really wants me to succeed in my goals.
I’m having so much fun belonging to Valiant Fitness and hanging with Justin and Brendon. It’s something I’m finally doing just for me and having a fantastic time while accomplishing this for myself!!!
-TERESA HOBBS
"I signed up with Justin thinking I would just take advantage of a free introductory training session at his previous gym, but two years later and I'm still training with him. He's more than just your typical trainer, he's professional, knowledgeable, and probably the most down to earth trainer around. When I'm training with Justin, it feels like I'm training with a friend, but he still keeps the sessions challenging and varied, so I never get bored or feel like my training has stagnated. I've noticed myself getting stronger and being able to handle tougher workouts. Justin is genuinely interested in seeing his clients progress, and regardless of someone's fitness level, I would recommend him and Valiant Fitness to anyone."
