Val teaches from her living room at home in the north of England. She first started teaching keep fit when she was 21, she considers herself to be fortunate to teach classes locally, having got started over 40 years ago. Tragically Val’s husband Graham was killed in a road accident in 1995, but her amazing family and friends and neighbours helped her keep going. Fit and healthy, Val now aims to give back to her community, helping others to get through their own struggles by creating strong community of enthusiastic people, who want to keep moving and keep spirits lifted. Val has incredible energy and believes we’re all on a journey, and we continue to learn throughout life. “I knew I couldn’t let my ladies down. And here I am sharing my skills and knowledge all over the world”
