MEET YOUR NEW BIGGEST FANS
Hey! We’re Mike and Jess.
Here’s a little about us…
“Vuh-lay-oh” is a Latin word and means “have strength, have power, be effective.” What started as a personal training idea in Jess’ apartment back in 2006 has now grown into a gym that’s left hundreds in the Holland-area healthier, stronger, and (even more) awesome.
We have a set of “Valeo Values” here that guide us as we lead, educate, and steward our community. You can read about those values here.
One of these Valeo Values as a team is “constantly learn, always improve.” Aside from all of our coaches having degrees in the Exercise and Health Sciences fields, we have certifications from the top organizations in our industry covering:
StrongFirst Barbell
StrongFirst Kettlebell
Ultimate Sandbag
Functional Movement Systems
Selective Functional Movement Assessment.
We are honored to:
-be invited to teach at StrongFirst certification courses
-receive mentorship from one of the Top Ten Gyms in the country
-and be a place where local coaches from other gyms seek us out for their own training
When it comes to exercise and nutrition, you’ll find us on the forefront of “trends” well before they even become trends. We work hard to keep staying ahead of the curve so our members can continue looking, moving, and feeling (even more) awesome.

As your coaches, we vow to guide you with grace while also growing you in grit.
If you’re ready to move forward in your health and discover your inner athlete, let’s chat.
