Being a coach at Valesco I get to share my passion, impart knowledge, provide support to our members and see people grow in ability and most importantly confidence.

Hey, I’m Amy. I started training in May 2012 and coaching at Valesco Fitness Collective since the day we opened our doors and have never looked back on either decision (although I have doubted my sanity after a few workouts, let’s not talk about Fight Gone Bad or 16.5)!

Being a coach at Valesco I get to share my passion, impart knowledge, provide support to our members and see people grow in ability and most importantly confidence. Being a part of people's fitness journey and shaping that in some way is such a special privilege and the reason I couldn’t imagine not being a coach at Valesco.

Among other qualifications I hold my Level 4 in Strength and Conditioning, British Weightlifting Assistant Club Coach Qualification, I am a qualified Precision Nutrition Nutritionist and an occasional MC for fitness events across the country.

Functional Fitness has sent me on a massive personal journey, seeing hugely positive changes in myself both physically and mentally I put solely down to finding this way of training.

The strong community we have developed at Valesco is something very special to me. I just love working out as part of a group, being part of a team and supporting others to achieve things they never thought possible. Opening Valesco in September 2015 really is the dream come true.

  • Having joined Valesco Brislington in the summer, I can safely say this is my favourite gym to date! I have been a member of other functional fitness gyms previously but this one is so welcoming to everyone of all abilities and all of the coaches are lovely! Having felt like I hit a brick wall on my gym training, this was just the refresh and motivation I needed! If you’re thinking of joining then I highly recommend!

  • I used to get really anxious about going to the gym and especially about lifting weights, but now I can’t wait to go and work out at Valesco Fitness Collective. The coaches are super supportive and the community is so lovely - everyone just wants the best for each other! No matter what level of fitness or ability you have, you are guided through all movements and workouts, so that you can give everything a go at your own pace! I’m now lifting weights I never thought I would lift, trying new skills on a weekly basis and can really see the progress after only a few months. The best community - I love it!

  • Love this gym! I joined a year ago and I have never gone to the gym more consistently before. The coaches are all super knowledgeable and friendly. They have created this beautiful atmosphere of community and support! It’s fun and satisfying to learn new skills and see myself getting better over time. I highly recommend Valesco!
