Hi, I’m Val!

I am a NASM certified NJ-based personal trainer and group fitness instructor with close to a decade of experience in the fitness industry. I’ve trained in a variety of exercise formats like TRX, barre, cardio-kickboxing, strength and conditioning, pre/postpartum exercise correction, and more. Over the years, I’ve coached at many local gyms and studios like Burn Boot Camp, Alpha Fit Club, and Equinox. (You may have taken one of my classes before!)

I started The Goodburn as a way to bring more fitness to more people, and put my own creative stamp on every single session. I offer 1:1 training, small group sessions, fundraising class events, and corporate classes. Whether you’re a seasoned gym rat or you’ve never seen a dumbbell in your life, I’ve got a good burn for you!
