Functional Surf Training

I recently completed the 20-day challenge, and it was amazing! It really helped shift my mindset. I got more into surfing and found myself wanting to move my body every day. I had so much more energy throughout the day just from training daily. The workouts started off easier and progressively got more challenging, which made it super fun. I definitely recommend the DFI training—not only is it great for surfing and overall fitness, but it also helps build discipline and motivates you to improve in everything you do. I’d rate it a solid 100/10! Valentin is an incredible coach who really knows how to keep you motivated! Having someone like him makes a huge difference in staying committed to the challenge.

Valentino is most importantly a wonderful human inside and out. I’ve gone through many male trainers and for the first time, I feel 100% calm, safe and relaxed in his presence. His non egotistical approach to fitness harnesses a well balanced program. He combines the physical aspect with the spiritual where you hone in on functional mechanics, breathing, & strength. His training is one of a kind. We are only three weeks in and I feel and see a noticeable difference in my aesthetic appearance, less aches and pains, and all around feel amazing. Stoked to see how I will look like in a few months! But for now I’m enjoying the process. 10/10 💙

Working with Valentín has been genuinely life changing. I never used to be able to work out without exacerbating all my imbalances and ending up more tense and in more pain. But in literally TWO sessions, one-on-one I now have less pain and more access to all the right muscle groups, even after a workout. A complete 180. This man knows how the human body works. I can't recommend him enough

I have been training with DFI on their HP program for the past six months and have loved every second of it! Coach Valentín is a passionate coach whose application of knowledge to personal requirements with attention to specific details is unmatched. After a long day of work, I could not wait to get to training. There are good vibes with like-minded people, which makes the training fun and comfortable! Through the program, I have been able to physically feel better by developing more flexibility, strength, and improved posture. One major improvement for me is that I no longer experience lower back pain that I had struggled to address in the past. When it comes to my surfing, the physical improvements through the training have helped me surf stronger, with my turns being easier to execute and my form looking better. If you are someone who is looking to improve how you physically feel and develop your body to surf stronger I would highly recommend training with DFI.

I've been doing the HP program online with Coach Valentin's , and I couldn't be happier with the results. His approach, blending strength exercises with stability and mobility training, helped me see significant progress in both my surfing performance and overall well-being. Throughout the program, I appreciated the targeted workouts that strengthened key muscle groups while also prioritizing stability, flexibility and recovery. Attention to detail ensured that each session was challenging yet rewarding, pushing me to improve while emphasizing proper form. Valentin's dedication to my success, combined with his expertise and passion for helping clients achieve their goals, has made my training experience truly exceptional.
