Dropped in for a week, and Rob and Nez were very welcoming. Their gym satisfies both power and weightlifting. The facility is clean and the equipment is good. Highly recommended for a drop in or membership, Validus is definitely one of the top gyms in SD.

I've been wanting to get into barbell training for years but never knew where to start. I started at Validus with Coach Nez last year and it's the best thing I've done for myself in a long time. In the beginning she worked with me to get the basic techniques down and spent time making sure I felt comfortable with all the movements. Now that I've been going for 8 months she helps me with refining that technique and making sure I'm moving in the right direction. She also works with me and my schedule to help me maximize my training time. The environment at the gym is amazing. Everyone is super friendly and encouraging.

It starts with the owners. Rob and Nez are two fantastic people who run an incredible gym. Whether you want to train in Olympic Lifting, Power Lifting or just want a great general strength and fitness program, you are in good hands with them. The facility is clean, the equipment is top notch and the community there is awesome. I have never looked back once since I started at Validus. Highly recommend checking it out.

If you are looking to get into powerlifting or Olympic lifting or looking for a new weightlifting gym, Validus is a gym to check out. They have a great setup with a lot of top-notch equipment from kilo plates to bumper plates. No matter your experience level, you are treated like an equal, and the coaches give you constructive feedback on your form and technique to help you be a better lifter and maximize your potential without risking injury. If you are looking for a gym to feel like a second home, then Validus should be your second home for working out and feeling like a part of a team regardless of your experience level. I'll be back for another workout very soon.

Before coming here, I wanted to find a reason to not like it so that I would save my money. But as soon as I walked in Nez and Robert were super friendly. They answered all my questions and even let me workout passed the consultation. Robert is great to work with and the other members of the gym are fun to be around. They have all the equipment that my original gym lacked for Olympic weightlifting such as Olympic bars and the smaller increment weights.

Prime facility where you're not just a number.

This is a no bs well equipped facility with an awesome staff. You will feel welcomed and comfortable from the very first step in. Even though there is elite equipment and experienced athletes training there it is still a place for beginners. Finding a place to lift isn't too difficult with some many gyms around, but finding a place you enjoy training in and feel at home is a different story. Here you will find just that, lift in an enjoyable environment.

The experience at Validus is great and so is the equipment. As a weightlifter there are certain things I look for, i.e platforms, kilo bumper plates, jerk blocks, and a place to do jerk recoveries. Validus provides all of that in abundance. On top of that now my recovery has been taken one step forward with the normatec system they have. Having a massage therapist that knows how to fix athletes is also highly important.

The owners are amazing people and this gym is everything anyone could want. Don't think about coming here, just do it. You will not regret it at all.
