Is Death Squad for me?
Here’s when Death Squad is a great idea.
👉 Grown out of group classes
Do you have big dreams? Want to chase down some serious numbers or want more of a challenge than our standard class programming?
👉 Event & Comp preparation
Specific goals need specific programming and coaching.
Thinking about tackling a StrongFirst Certification or need help preparing for competition/ sport?
👉 You’re in need of professional coaching
With the option to work entirely (or partially) online, we can facilitate your programming and training wherever you’re at.
If you’re training in your garage, a string of hotels, or a local box gym, we can help keep your gains on track regardless of your environment.

Meet Hugo 👋
For over a decade, Hugo has worked as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor. He’s been racking up certifications and expanding his qualifications ever since.
The fitness industry seemed to him to be taking more from clients than it was giving, leaving people feeling misunderstood and subsequently quitting gyms because it ‘wasn’t for them’.
Breaking the mould, Hugo opened Valkyrie in 2017, where he endeavoured to make training more simplistic and accessible for his clients; their success was his success, and education was how he’d achieve it.
Over the years, he’s coached clients from lots of walks of life. From injury and post-surgery, to competitive athletes in a range of sports, and coaches earning qualifications.
Hugo is spoke about as being a kind and approachable coach, with his client’s best intentions at heart. His compassion, commitment and experience position him as the ‘go-to guy’ for stacks of people that know him personally and professionally.
