Today we’d like to introduce you to Todd Romboli.
Hi Todd, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I reached a point where I knew the trajectory I was on didn’t end well. I was about 50 pounds overweight, eating poorly, smoking, and very much in the middle of a personal reset. Fitness had always been part of my life—I played organized sports from the time I was eight through my early twenties—but by then, my body and joints simply couldn’t tolerate traditional training anymore. Lifting weights wasn’t sustainable, and high-impact workouts were doing more harm than good.
I started searching for a low-impact solution that still delivered real results. Yoga helped—I responded well to it—but it was extremely demanding and required a time commitment I couldn’t realistically maintain. That’s when I discovered EMS training. I found a studio that claimed a 20-minute EMS workout could replace two or more hours in the gym. That immediately caught my attention.
I fell in love with the technology—the suit, the efficiency, the way it worked with my body instead of against it. Eventually, I went a step further and began sourcing and customizing our own suit and software. That’s how the Zeus Suit was born. I trained aggressively—longer sessions, higher intensities—and the results were undeniable. The weight came off, my strength returned, and my joints felt better, not worse.
From there, I went even deeper. I started what I call my “Contrast Quest”: infrared sauna sessions paired with cold plunging, five to six days a week. I layered in red light therapy, and that was the final piece. What I had built was a complete, low-to-no-impact system that supported recovery, longevity, and performance.
Today, I don’t rely on grinding through workouts or fighting my body. Technology and intelligent modalities do the heavy lifting. Gravity works for me, not against me. That shift didn’t just change my body—it changed my life, and it’s what ultimately led me to where I am today.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Not at all—it’s been anything but smooth. The biggest challenge early on was skepticism. EMS, contrast therapy, and recovery-based modalities were still unfamiliar to most people, and anything that promises efficiency is immediately met with doubt. I had to prove—first to myself, and then to others—that this wasn’t a shortcut, it was a smarter approach.
There were also technical and operational challenges. Developing and customizing our own EMS suit and software came with a steep learning curve—testing, iterations, failures, and refinements. On top of that, I was experimenting on myself in real time, learning where the limits were and where the real benefits lived.
Another struggle was unlearning traditional fitness dogma. We’re conditioned to believe that progress only comes from pain, impact, and hours in the gym. Shifting that mindset—both personally and culturally—took time. Results helped, but consistency and education were just as important.
Ultimately, the road was challenging because it required patience, discipline, and conviction. But those challenges are also what shaped the system we have today. Every setback forced refinement, and every obstacle strengthened the foundation of what we’re building.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Valjalah?
At its core, our business is built around efficiency, longevity, and intelligent training. We specialize in low-to-no-impact performance and recovery modalities designed for people who want real results without breaking their bodies down in the process.
We integrate advanced technologies—EMS training, infrared sauna, cold plunge, red light therapy, and guided contrast protocols—into a single, cohesive system. Rather than offering disconnected services, we focus on how these modalities work together to improve strength, body composition, recovery, and overall health in the most time-effective way possible.
What sets us apart is that everything we offer is experience-tested and system-driven. This wasn’t built from theory or trends—it was built from lived results. We developed and customized our own EMS technology, refined our protocols through real-world application, and designed the space to remove friction entirely. Clients don’t need to guess what to do or how long to do it; the structure is already built for them.
We’re known for working with people who are underserved by traditional fitness—busy professionals, former athletes, people with joint limitations, or anyone who simply refuses to believe that health has to mean hours in the gym and constant pain. Our approach replaces volume and impact with precision and consistency.
Brand-wise, what I’m most proud of is trust. People walk in skeptical and stay because the results speak for themselves. We don’t oversell, we don’t chase fads, and we don’t pretend one modality is magic. The brand stands for discipline, innovation, and sustainability—doing fewer things, better, for longer.
What I want readers to understand is that this isn’t a workout studio—it’s a longevity and performance ecosystem. Everything we offer is designed to help people reclaim their time, protect their bodies, and build a routine they can actually maintain for decades, not months.
Where we are in life is often partly because of others. Who/what else deserves credit for how your story turned out?
Absolutely. While the vision started with me, this business would not exist without the people who believed in it early.
First and foremost, my family deserves tremendous credit. They supported the idea long before it was proven—through long hours, uncertainty, and constant iteration. Their belief gave me the freedom to stay focused and take the calculated risks necessary to build something different.
I’m equally grateful to our founding members and early clients. They took a chance on something new and unfamiliar, trusted the process, and gave honest feedback along the way. Many of them weren’t just participants—they became advocates. Their results, referrals, and willingness to lean into an unconventional approach helped shape both the protocols and the culture of the business.
Finally, I want to recognize the team behind the scenes. From coaching and operations to technology and client experience, they uphold the standards every day. They don’t just execute a system—they protect the integrity of it. That consistency is what allows the brand to deliver on its promise.
At every stage, this has been a shared effort. The success of the business is a reflection of trust—earned from family, reinforced by members, and sustained by a committed team.
