Meet Coach Valentin | Fitness Expert

We had the good fortune of connecting with Coach Valentin and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Coach, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
I am a fitness coach, but I like to think of myself as a human sculptor. Each of my clients is a unique commission, and I am dedicated to building and transforming their bodies. This process captivates me and is truly my passion. For the past 15 years, I have been helping both men and women achieve the best shape of their lives. To me, my job is an art, and I consider myself an artist.
Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
My art is transformation.
Not just physical, but deep, personal, and lasting transformation. I see myself as a sculptor—not with marble, but with human potential. Every client I work with is a masterpiece in progress, and my studio is the atelier where that process unfolds. What sets me apart is that I don’t just provide workouts or diet plans—I offer a guided, curated journey where science meets craftsmanship, and discipline meets purpose.
What I’m most proud of is the reputation I’ve earned—not just for results, but for integrity, professionalism, and care. Thousands of lives changed. Bodies reshaped. But more than that, self-belief restored. That’s the real reward.
Getting to this point wasn’t easy. I left my country, started over in a foreign land, and built everything from scratch—client by client, rep by rep. I’ve been betrayed by partners, worked while overwhelmed, and carried responsibilities alone. But through it all, I never compromised my standards. I never stopped showing up, even when it was hard.
The biggest lesson I’ve learned? Mastery takes time. Results come from relentless consistency, not quick fixes. And nothing matters more than staying true to your vision.
I want the world to know that COACH VALENTIN is not just a fitness brand. It’s a movement rooted in art, reason, and human excellence. Every program I create, every transformation I guide, carries the same care and intention as a master artist signing his name on a finished piece. This is not a job for me—it’s my life’s passion.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
One of my favorite places in Miami is Bayfront Park. It’s a great spot for a nice walk, enjoying a coffee, and reading a book. Another fantastic area is Brickell; I always feel amazed when I stroll through the tall buildings and witness all their innovations. There are always plenty of people around, contributing to a lively atmosphere. Additionally, Wynwood is one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in Miami, known for its art and good taste. You can wander through the streets, enjoy a delicious meal, and appreciate the stunning views.
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like to highlight a person who has been my mentor, not only in my professional career but in my life: Dr. Mike Israetel.
Before I met Dr. Mike Israetel eight years ago, I was already passionate.
But passion, without clarity or structure, can only take you so far. Learning from Dr. Mike changed everything. His scientific approach to training and coaching elevated my skills to an entirely new level — and the results I now achieve with my clients are proof of that.
The most significant change wasn’t only in my training and eating habits. It was in how I think and how I live today.
When he introduced me to Ayn Rand’s philosophy, it was like switching on a light I didn’t know I needed. I began a journey of self-discovery, personal responsibility, and rational clarity that eventually brought me here — to the United States — to build my fitness studio in Miami: @cvstudiomiami
It was through his company, @rpstrength, that I began acquiring deeper knowledge — knowledge that truly changed my practice forever.
Behind every professional who leads with conviction, there is often a mentor who helps shape the path.
