History and mission

Our company was founded by CPT Valerie Petersheim.  After the birth of her third son, Valerie struggled to lose weight.  She decided that just "running a few miles a week" wasn't cutting it anymore. So she started researching strength training and nutrition.  She realized that all the processed foods she was eating was harming her body and causing headaches, fatigue and many other issues.  She also found out that in our 30's, our bodies start to lose muscle mass!  So she decided to become a certified Personal Trainer so that she could help others in pursuit of a healthy lifestyle! 

Our mission is simple.  We desire to help and serve others in their health journey.  

We believe that our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual state all work together. When we fuel our body with nutritious foods and workout so that we can build muscle and decrease body fat, we feel better about ourselves and are happier and more productive!

Our name, SOLID ROCK FITNESS & HEALTH, comes from Matthew 7:24-25. 

"A wise man/woman builds their home on a rock.  So that when the winds and floods come, and beat against the home, it will not fall because it was built on solid rock."(paraphrase)  

Even though these verses are referring to  the Word of God, we also believe that our bodies are our "home" and should have a solid foundation.

Studies  show that exercise can reduce your risk of heart diseases, help your body manage blood sugar and insulin levels, reduce the risk of certain cancers, strengthen your bones and muscles, reduce your risk of falls and help you sleep better.  Wow!  Who wouldn't want to make their "home" stronger and better?!
