Gym

👍👍 I am traveling from out of town and dropped in to NCR. The gym was organized and the coaching was great. There was also a really good turn out of friendly folks at 6am. I look forward to coming back in the future. People often mention Valeo, great, coaches, community, friendly,

    Outstanding CrossFit gym! I reached out to Valeo via the form on their website and one of the owners replied in less than an hour - amazing service. I stopped in to check things out and got a full walkthrough, signed up, and haven’t looked back. The community here is great - everyone is super friendly and supportive, and the owners hold all kinds of challenges and special events to keep things fun. Classes are as tough as you want to make them, and the trainers will help you scale the workouts depending on your needs. For me, personal training was a great way to supplement classes based on my schedule. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great CrossFit gym in the area.

    The atmosphere at Valeo is warm and welcoming - exactly what you need to get started or make the next step in your fitness journey. Joe and Rali are thoughtful and capable leaders for their team at the gym! Highly recommend checking out a class at Valeo!

    Really friendly staff and owners! Quality coaching and equipment! Valeo always has community events to keep members engaged with activities in AND out of the gym. Big indoor and outdoor space makes it a perfect training facility year round!

    From my first visit I felt welcome and comfortable at this gym eventhough I didnt know exactly what I was doing. A fun atmosphere with a great group of people of various levels of fitness but all working hard! Coaches are all awesome and take time to help each person develop. Workouts are always challenging and I am already way stronger!

    I joined Valeo in October 2019. I had no idea what CrossFit was. None. I quickly came to realize that lifting heavy things is addictive. But there's no pressure to be a superstar. The coaches take care to offer scaling options until you can do more. You slowly learn how to do all the movements, while simultaneously staying in your comfort zone AND being encouraged to do more. And you'll want to. Trust me. The community at Valeo is incredible. You'll find that you're eyeing other people with similar abilities to you (that you come to know as friends with whom you can share victories and war stories). And it bolsters you with this strange sense of what I'll call "comfortable peer pressure" to try out new things and go beyond what you thought you could do. And the amazing thing is that you're frequently made happy when you see that the person next to you has achieved something you know they were working on. Not even your own stuff! I don't think that happens very often elsewhere. The messaging from all the Valeo coaches also spills into the other parts of your life: work, home, spending time with your kids or pets, time with friends. What you work on at Valeo has an impact on your life outside of the gym. And that gets talked about a lot, _in_ the gym. It's not compartmentalized: what you put in at Valeo reaches beyond your gym hour. I think that kind of dynamic is rare. Owner/coach Joe says "Motion is lotion." You need to keep moving. My opinion is that this is the most fun and fulfilling way to do it.

    I've been a member of Valeo Athletics since Feb 2019, and it is my happy place. The coaches are fantastic - their attention to form and detail are instrumental to each members success in the gym. The community of members are super encouraging, and everyone cheers for each other's successes! Any skill level is welcome, and respected. The workouts always challenging in a good way, and you get out of it, what you put into it. At the end of every class, you can't help but feel and know that that was a great way to spend 60 minutes!

    Great coaches and community. They make you feel welcome right away. The workouts are tough but keep you coming back from more. The coaches are great at offering scaled options that fit your needs. I have reached so many goals while being here with the encouragement of the coaches and my gym friends.
