Valley Forge Fitness Gear

Jerry Washington, founder and CEO for Valley Forge Fitness has a passion for fitness and it has been his hobby to implore exercise design for years. In the fall of 2002 he took a trip to Seville, Spain to study Spanish in hopes of furthering his education and possibilities for his degree he received in psychology from Gustavus Adolphus College. As a six time NCAA All-American in track, the desire to remain in shape on a budget was of the utmost importance. Touring the city one day, he happened across an outdoor training facility for the local club track and field teams. With his limited Spanish, the visitor was amazed at how easily it was for him to not only stay in shape, but to make friends for life. He found that the desire to work out and stay and shape can easily fade, but the need for companionship is everlasting. Washington quickly changed his focus from psychology shortly after graduation to see his vision for life long fitness become a reality.
