I have just achieved my goal, which was to complete my first triathlon! I felt really scared when I first entered it, but now I have much more confidence!
"I was 1hour quicker than expected on the bike and my cycling has improved massively!"
When I started training with Nico I could not swim a single length of the pool but now I can complete the whole swim easily! I used to feel that running was my weakest discipline but I have seen it improving. I can run further and faster than before, and on the bike I can keep up with others – I was 1hour quicker than expected on the bike and my cycling has improved massively!

By following Nico’s advice I achieved my goal of competing in The Little Woody middle distance triathlon. I had the best swim I have ever had, I was able to really push myself in the hilly bike and still feel great on the run, managing to achieve 2nd position overall! Thank you Nico!
I had the best swim I have ever... managing to achieve 2nd position overall!

I approached NSV Training Solutions to put together a training plan for my first marathon. Nico provided me with this and much more.
"The plan was flexible for me to fit around my life and challenging to really push me"
He coached me throughout my training plan improving my technique, nutrition and confidence in my ability. The plan was flexible for me to fit around my life and challenging to really push me too, NIco also coached me through the inevitable tough times of training for a marathon. As a result ran my first ever marathon!"
Matt completed his first marathon - Well done Matt!

I approached Nico at my local gym for personal training sessions targeted at improving my running performance with the aim of entering some races in the future. Previously I would just run either on the treadmill or outside with no additional supportive training.
"the functional training sessions are extremely varied, enjoyable and motivational"
Nico has taught me the importance of other types of training to facilitate and enhance my performance as well as devising me a running training plan; the functional training sessions are extremely varied, enjoyable and motivational and I completed my first 10k race last weekend with a PB time and finished in the top 15%. Thanks Nico!

I had been half heartedly exercising for the last few years until I met personal trainer Nico Valla. Over the last few months he has given me the inspiration and motivation to get fit and eat and feel well!
I absolutely love our pt sessions of interval training combined with weights exercises. The exercise programmes have massively built up my stamina as well as making me stronger and fitter again. It's brilliant fun and he's always great at getting you to give that little bit more.

Nico’s sport and nutrition knowledge is also excellent so he's helped me with my diet too! If you need motivation I would highly recommend Nico!
