Founded by Val Harbidge, a Marin-based personal trainer and mom of three, FITLAB Strong LLC is not a franchise—it's a mission-led, community-focused business designed to help real people create real transformation.
“My journey began with one-on-one personal training in Marin. After seeing lives change through fitness, I wanted to scale that impact. FITLAB Strong evolved from my original solo practice, FITme, into a space where anyone can fall in love with movement.”-Founder FITLAB Strong, Val Harbidge
