Team Valeo
We’re pretty much exercise programming and coaching nerds! 🙂 Our Team Core Value is “constantly learn, always improve.” Aside from coaches with undergraduate, Masters and even Doctorate degrees in the Exercise and Health Sciences fields, we have certifications from the top organizations in our industry covering barbell, kettlebell, sandbag, Functional Movement Systems, and Selective Functional Movement Assessment. We are proud to be a place where local coaches from other gyms seek us out for their own training.

ABOUT ANDREW
Starting out as a member of Valeo, Andrew knew coaching was in his blood and he joined our team of trainers as part of his pursuit to help people move, heal and feel better.
You’ll find his joyful, friendly spirit welcoming and his extensive background in athletics (football, baseball, rugby and more) and leadership inspiring. Andrew serves on the worship team at Engedi Church, is passionate about any sport (Go, Blue!), all things fitness and movement-related and is a zealous Star Wars fan. When not at the gym or chiro office, you’ll find him serving in the community or exploring the outdoors with Cait and their beloved dog, Brady.

Ashley’s gifts are her adaptability, servant-heart and willingness to work hard while also bringing the fun. When not at Valeo or serving her own business of at-home fitness clients, she’s refinishing furniture or helping renovate her parent’s 1800’s farmhouse!
