A trainer can manage your workouts. But they never understand the underlying physiology driving your results—they don't have a clear picture of your hormone profile, nutrient deficiencies, body composition, metabolic or cardiovascular health.
They count your reps for an hour in the gym while the rest goes unmanaged.
Valence Health solves that. Your Performance Physical establishes the baseline. Our team reviews your data and develops a coordinated training, nutrition, supplementation, and recovery plan.
We test, look at your results, implement, then re-test again—so progress is measured, not assumed.
This isn’t personal training. It’s a protocol built around your unique physiology.
Every well-executed plan starts with data:
Advanced blood panel — Comprehensive biomarkers to assess your hormonal, metabolic, cardiovascular, and general health — measured against optimal, not “sick-population average” ranges.
DEXA scan — DEXA provides the most accurate assessment of your body composition available: lean mass, body fat, visceral fat, and bone density.
VO₂ max — The gold-standard objective measure of cardiorespiratory fitness and aerobic capacity, establishing a measurable baseline for endurance, energy, recovery, and long-term physical capacity.
Resting metabolic rate — A direct measurement of how much energy your body uses at rest, grounding your nutrition recommendations in your actual physiology instead of generalized calorie targets.
Then we synthesize your testing into a Clinical Review & Personalized Plan — identifying your baseline, highest-leverage opportunities, and a practical roadmap for training, nutrition, and recovery prioritized over the next 90 days.
Complete a brief applicationWe begin with a short application to understand what you want to improve and confirm that the Performance Physical is appropriate for your goals.
Establish your baselineDuring your 90-minute appointment, the Valence team will complete your performance testing and gather the information required to build a detailed picture of your current physiology.
Review the complete picture— Your results are considered together rather than treated as isolated numbers. You will receive a clinical review explaining what your findings mean, how the different metrics relate to one another, and where the most meaningful opportunities may lie.
Receive your personalized plan— Your results are translated into clear priorities for training, nutrition, recovery, and supplementation. You leave knowing where you stand and exactly what your body needs to make progress - fast.

At Valence, we start with your data and build a personalized strategy → combining targeted training, nutrition, recovery and hormone optimization, so you see visible progress in just weeks.

Most men already have pieces of the picture.
Annual bloodwork. A fitness tracker. A training program. Perhaps a body-composition scan or nutrition plan.
The problem is rarely a complete absence of information. It is that the information sits in separate places, was gathered at different times, and has never been translated into one coherent course of action.
The Valence Performance Physical brings the most relevant measures of health and physical performance together in a single assessment.
Your results are reviewed as a whole, then translated into a personalized plan for training, nutrition, recovery, and the priorities that deserve your attention first.
No collection of disconnected reports. No generic list of recommendations.
A measured baseline—and a clear plan built from it.
In 90 minutes, establish a clearer picture of your body composition, aerobic capacity, metabolism, and relevant blood markers—then receive a personalized plan for what to do next.
