Trainers near North Potomac

“Before discovering Renee's class, I was unable to fully straighten or bend my left knee. Even something as mundane as bending my knee enough to get my leg into a pair of pants was painful. I had been going to physical therapy, which tends to focus more on strengthening rather than reducing inflammation & balancing the muscle groups. As an active person, this knee pain was limiting & frustrating.Initially I was a little skeptical about the way the class was laid out, but I also figured what did I have to lose? Like so many other women, I had run the gamut of things to try to relieve the pain. I also liked the idea that I had an opportunity to learn something new, add new tools to my toolbox & take my care into my own hands. I suspended my visits to my physical therapist while I took Renee's class.After the first week I started noticing a difference in the way my knee felt, in a good way. As the weeks progressed, Renee continued to add more modalities regarding inflammation reduction, stretching, strength & mobility, using a holistic approach to address all parts of the body, not just the knee.After completing the 8-week course, I can now bend & straighten my knee. I went back to my physical therapist for an evaluation & to get some measurements. My range of motion & strength increased quite a bit. Heartened, I continued with Renee's exercise classes for a few more months. I walk, swim, hike, garden & even did a tree-climbing adventure for my birthday this summer. I am back to my active life & am able to address any problems with what I learned in Renee's class. It takes work & commitment, and it yielded positive results.“

“1000% WORTH IT!I’ve had several trainers in the past and they honestly did not seem to care. It was more of a transaction than a relationship. When I came across UP I was skeptical like most.However, I met Zach, who turned out to be my trainer. The care, they detail, the drive he and UP is something I have never seen before.Zach has given me workouts that I never thought were possible. He works me hard, he gives me a real nutrition plan and the results came quick. I’m 4 weeks, I lost 6% body fat and gained 5 pounds of muscle. In addition, my belly has gone down significantly.Yes, you need to be dedicated, but Zach’s involvement and investment in his clients are unlike I’ve ever seen. I feel so grateful to be working with him. 4 more weeks to go and I can’t wait to see the final results.This program really changed my life for the better. I’m happier, and healthier for my family.“

“I have been going to Swift Fitness for about 4 months and I found each session to be informative, engaging, enjoyable and non-judgmental. Chris continues to push me to be better and stronger than I ever thought I could be on my own. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a personal trainer.“

“I've had a great experience since starting here in the summer of 2023. The staff is very friendly and professional. The culture here is very welcoming and supportive to everyone. I have met some really cool people and we've improved together. There is great comradery all around. CFH is a great representation of both the Herndon and Crossfit communities. I would highly recommend CFH to anyone, from beginner to expert, who is interested in getting healthier with CrossFit.And if that wasn't enough. There are also cute puppies on site regularly.“

“This is an amazing establishment! The instructors are top-notch and the atmosphere is incredibly positive and encouraging!“

“I have been going to Elite for over 8 months and it really is transformative. I have lost over 25lb and am in the best shape of my life. They really know what they are doing. It’s challenging but fun and a great community. I have always been into fitness and staying active and I could go to a big corporate gym but there’s something special about this smaller, family style gym that keeps me coming back. I love the accountability, the challenge and the pride when I feel when my trainer tells me I did a great job. I recommend Elite to anyone who will listen. I love it here for real.“

“Neal is a fantastic trainer and is a lot of fun to work with. He'll make you work hard but keep you laughing. He provides excellent feedback on correcting my form and suggestions for home exercises.“

“Sarah is an incredible pilates instructor. She takes the time to plan customized sessions that cater to body type, strengths, and limitations. Because of Sarah, I have increased my core strength and improved balance and flexibility over the past year. On top of all that, Sarah is genuinely a good person and pleasant to be around. Highly recommend!“

“Personal training in a supportive small group for over 10 years has kept me motivated, safe, and fit … most of all the workouts are a major contributor to my continued good health. Everyone can work at their own level and have the benefit of being with workout buddies. Wide range of training equipment keeps the workouts interesting, effective and fun. The trainers are excellent professionals who go through an in-house program before working with clients to ensure coaching consistency.“

“Justin is a great trainer. I’ve trained with him for two years and feel stronger in every part of my body. You work out there one on one, which is much better than using a trainer in a commercial gym. He is able to customize a work out for any body type and he trains people of all ages.“

“I reached out to 1TO1 Fitness to fix my imbalanced set of muscles throughout my body due to some prior unfortunate circumstances. I had 4 weeks before an important lifetime event to get my body repaired for the rigors of distant travel and high activity at the destination. 1TO1 fitness rose to the challenge and created a program of 8 focused sessions. I told them my personality demanded a hands-on approach with a PT who was a "slave driver" and I was assigned Erich. Erich was unrelenting (in a good way) and he helped me to stretch my joints and strengthen my muscles, which is exactly what I needed. He also made my goals his 100% and kept me motivated telling me that I could make the progress I wanted with his help. That kept me motivated and working hard to make it so. And he was right! Thankfully, with his help, I stood straighter and became stronger -- exactly what I needed! It's amazing what we accomplished all we did in just eight weeks! Thank you 1TO1 Fitness and a special shout-out to Erich supported by Teresa (Reston Manager) and Stephen (set my schedule)! You all rock!“

““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. "“

“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.“
