2 years later and I'm still incredibly happy! I've been consistently training with Bobby 3 days a week for the past 2 years and it's been awesome. I've hit PR goals I never even imagined and feel very healthy and motivated.
I always thought that lifting weights was something I would never enjoy, but Bobby has shown me how fun it can be! I had never done a deadlift in my life and when I started with Bobby all I could pull was 80lbs. My most recent PR was 220lbs! I could have never made that progress without him.
The best part is the custom/personalized service you get. Everyone

Dr. Ingrid has been my doctor for 3 years now. I followed her from her old practice when she opened Valia Lifestyle and it was the best decision I could have made. My health and my fitness level has made a complete 180 since seeing her. She takes the time to listen to all your concerns and is one of the most knowledgeable and brilliant people I have ever known on just about any subject you bring to her.
Alongside my health, I also began private training at Valia with Dr. Ingrid. I can’t even begin to describe the impact she has made in my life. I am the strongest I have ever been and I feel

I’ve had the opportunity to work with Bobby as my trainer over the last 6 months. I picked up some weight during lockdown last year and I never had a great workout routine so I needed help. Bobby knows how to start, ramp up, and see results. He was flexibile with my schedule and how I generally approached working out (I disliked it, but have come to enjoy it a bit!). We mostly recently changed my program and I’ve made slow changes to my diet in the last couple of months and I’ve lost 8 pounds over the last 8 weeks! I cant be upset about losing weight and being stronger. Highly recommend coming

I can’t say enough good things about Bobby as a strength coach. He has truly helped shift my thinking about fitness and has taught me that it’s never too late to get strong, lean, and healthy. Bobby is extremely knowledgeable and professional and is just an all-around great guy! My husband was so impressed with the results I’m getting, that he started training with Bobby, too. Highly recommend.

This gym is the kind of place that will be mentioned in several biographies in the future — Bobby, my trainer, is so knowledgeable that the expertise recedes into the background and we talk about history, art etc. Ingrid, the doctor, is brilliant and not at all like other self-serious Los Angeles doctors. You would think with their cumulative expertise this would be a very Manhattan “time is money” place, but they are both as laid back as a coffee shop in Naples, Italy. Most importantly I actually have real muscles for the first time in my life!

Been training at this place for about 6 months. These guys don’t chase fitness fads. Their scientific approach to training works. My coach adjusted the training to account for my pre-existing conditions and areas where I would like to develop. He designed new training blocks for me whenever my progress stalled. I was able to discuss medical concerns with the doctor who runs Valia. She also adjusted my nutrition and helped me to fine tune my diet. These guys are pros in every way. They are fitness nerds and know how to get results. Place is always spotless clean with nice positive energy vibe

Valia Fitness is a gem; I am glad I found Ingrid, Azelea and Bobby. They "complete the health map", so-to-speak. From my experience, other health care providers only deliver conventional medicine without physical training. Others offer fitness without the holistic treatment. Essentially, the mind-body element is missing from most health care providers. Not at Valia. I feel good knowing that my search is over. I am giving them 5 stars because they deserve it.

I absolutely love working with the team over at Valia. Bobby is the best trainer I've ever worked with and I'm healthier than I have been in years because of this team. All the trainers are amazing, and so are their classes. Dr. Edshteyn is an incredible, thorough, and thoughtful physician who genuinely cares about her patients and created a special space at Valia for fitness and health. If you're looking to get in shape, take your fitness to the next level, or just focus on your wellness for a while, look no further.

Great studio!! From the brand new equipment to top of the line personal trainers and doctor, Valia is the place to go for wellness as a whole! I started training about a month ago and I can't even put into words how happy and motivated I am. Dr. Ingrid's office is in a private room at the studio, which makes it very convenient to get my medical exams and follow-ups done with her! She is the most knowledgeable and caring doctor I had ever met! On top of that, they also accept insurance coverage.
The team at Valia makes you feel welcome and at home - as soon as you walk in the door you

I can't say enough great things about Valia Fitness! Dr. Ingrid was my PCP for about 2 years prior to her establishing Valia and I was more than happy to follow her to her new practice. She is very attentive and takes a holistic approach to health that looks at all aspects of my life (stress, food consumption, sleep, therapy etc) to help get me to a healthier state. She is very caring and detail oriented and I highly recommend her as a General Physician.
While I was there she recommended I partake in a free 1 hour consultation with one of her fitness instructors. I ended up speaking to one trainer
