As a science based fitness trainer, it is Joseph’s belief that feeling and seeing results are the main reason people continue to be motivated to work towards optimal health. His strength training philosophy stems from the understanding that a periodized approach to building strength forms the foundation for results. Joseph considers a systematic approach to cardiovascular training imperative when designing programs for his clients. Variation in training and attention to detail make training with Joseph a very athletic and safe personal training experience.

When not with his clients Joseph enjoys Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, backpacking, fishing and football

Quote:

“It is exciting to me to hear my clients express satisfaction and a renewed sense of “self” as they continue to evolve physiologically, psychologically, and emotionally through exercise. Living life at the highest possible level is what I hope to pass on to each person I work with.” -Joseph Vallier
