I have been working out for a long time now without much progress in gaining mass or muscle definition. Then I joined Valens and both Jason and Nicole reminded the importance of eating a lot for bulking. Then we worked on the form and not long after I stated pushing bigger weights and hitting PRs. Also, because I trusted them and we followed tested programs i didn't worry about getting injured nearly as much when doing the big lifts like deadlift and squats. So, a couple of months in, I could see, feel and measure the difference in my physique. So that was awesome to see the progress! Thank you both for that!

I highly recommend Valens Strength and Conditioning gym. Jason and Nicole are extremely skilled and dedicated coaches. They create a positive atmosphere. I have seen all levels of lifters succeed. As a 59-year-old woman, I never expected I could lift these heavy weights. I feel stronger, healthier, and happier!

Valens strength is an exceptional gym with great coaches and equipment. They have everything you need to get strong. Before joining in December, seven months ago, I had been doing starting strength for a few years on my own and visited coaches from time to time for form checks. I made great progress but picked up some bad habits along the way. When I saw that Valens, a Starting Strength gym, had opened in SD, I decided it was time to join and get some regular coaching. With exceptional coaching by Nicole and Jason, I fixed my technique issues and made significant progress in my lifts. In 7 months, my deadlift has gone from 360 to 505, squat: 320 with bad form to 410, press: 145 to 215, and bench: 215 to 290. I highly recommend this gym for anyone who wants to learn to lift with good form and get really strong!

In 12 weeks, I went from a total novice with a history of back pain to squatting 185 lbs and deadlifting 215 lbs.

It's impossible to overstate how much Nicole and Jason at Valens have helped me and my family. Starting Strength is a winning methodology and the good people at Valens know how to create a supportive environment that is tailored to the individual.

Valens is a refreshing drink in a world where fads and superficiality take hold too easily.

Was visiting town for a conference and did a drop in visit to get a lifting session in. Fantastic experience! Owners were personable and knowledgeable. They answered all my questions and even gave me some coaching even though I pay for a personal training session. Whether you need a coach yo achieve your goals or just need a gym to drop in for a workout I highly recommend this gym.

Valens has been a game changer for my wife and I. Nicole and Jason provide an incredibly encouraging environment for beginners and advanced lifters alike, and have always made us feel welcome. Not only that, but Nicole's training has helped my wife and I set personal records on all lifts, as well as gain the muscle I wanted in a safe and sustainable way. Can't say enough about the vibe, quality and par of training that Nicole and Jason provide at Valens. Would recommend to anyone serious about exploring strength training the right way in a supportive environment.
