Trainers in Bethesda

““I have been training with Eric for the past three months and I have been very pleased with the results as well with Eric's approach.I started looking for a personal trainer months before I met Eric because I had gained weight, had little energy, and felt that my fitness and health were not good.I wanted to get back into the condition that I had been in most of my life.I trained with a couple of other trainers who did not listen to my needs and requests and tried to get me to do exercises with which I felt uncomfortable performing.Before I trained with Eric I explained to him what my needs, interests, and goals were, and explained my medical history.Eric listened to me and formulated a program with which I felt very comfortable. Actually, his program was very demanding, but I only performed exercises with which I felt comfortable. I understood the reasons for each exercise, and understood the basis for the regime. After each session, I feel invigorated. I am always left with a sense of balance and accomplishment. My energy greatly increased after training for only a couple weeks. I have lost significant weight and I feel stronger and firmer. I believe that Eric's background as an internal medicine physician sets him apart from other trainers. Not only does he have the background to design a program that addresses my health concerns, but he has the 'bedside manner' of a physician who is concerned and truly wants to help his client. "“

“Caity is an amazing trainer! I enjoy our sessions soo much! She motivates me even without trying. I feel empowered and encouraged by Caity every step of the way.“

“I worked with Dan May at Ultimate Performance from Bethesda form December 2023-July 2024. This is hands-down the best personal training experience I have ever had. For the first time ever, I am at my target weight, and feel strong and fit. Probably more importantly, the trainers at UP teach you HOW to strength train properly, WHY different exercises are paired and how they differ, and prepare you to continue not just maintaining but continuing to build muscle in the future. You'll probably note that it is quite a bit more expensive than some other options. It is insanely expensive, that is true. But you get what you pay for. If you are ready to make a serious investment in your health, and ready to work HARD to get into the best shape of your life, then it's worth every penny. If you want someone who will just help you get in a bit better shape, but you aren't ready to work harder than you've ever worked physically, you're better off with a more conventional and cheaper option. This is not for the faint of heart, but if you're up to it you won't regret it!“

“The very, very best in personalized training. The trainers meet as a team to plan each client's program, and during training, the trainer's focus is steadfast on the client. I just passed my 20th anniversary going to FitnessWise and am most grateful for how that has kept me healthy, as I aim towards seriously-senior status.“
