Trainers near Takoma Park

“Great place for personal training and guided strength and fitness classes. No fake “let’s go ppl” kinda of training, just solid supportive motivation and encouragement, with safety in mind at all times.“

“I just completed my 20th workout at Thesis and I can confidently say that this has been one of the best personal training experiences I’ve had. I may be a bit biased because he’s my trainer but, Trevel is as legit as they come. He’s knowledgeable and knows when to challenge me when needed (which is more times that not). I actually enjoy getting a work out in and my results have been great! I’ve already accomplished a few goals and I’m well on my way to crushing the rest!Overall, Thesis is a great gym and I’m appreciative of all the trainers and staff who make the experience worthwhile.“

“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!“

“All of the coaches and management consistently go above and beyond expectations. I’m so lucky that I found Invictus. Recommended for both newbies and serious athletes alike. What a find!“

“Method Fitness transcends the conventional gym experience. The moment you walk through the door, you can feel the dedication the staff has invested in crafting a thriving and motivating fitness space. Noel, my personal trainer, is truly exceptional. What sets Noel apart is his professionalism and his ability to motivate. He designs each session to be challenging yet rewarding, prioritizing correct techniques to prevent injuries, pushing me to achieve my fitness goals while ensuring that each session is not only effective but also enjoyable. His expertise and dedication are evident in every session, and I credit him for my consistency in sticking to my workout routine. Additionally, working with Emily, the gym's nutritionist, has been a game-changer. She has helped me adjust my diet to complement my fitness goals, including leaning out, building endurance, and strengthening my core. Her focus on creating a sustainable nutritional plan has been key to motivating me to stick to my fitness plan. Overall, I am extremely pleased with the personal training at Method Fitness. If you're looking to jumpstart or maintain your fitness and health goals, I highly recommend giving this gym a try.“

“I have been a happy member of RTR for over 15 years, utilizing many locations. All of the instructors are amazing! I always leave feeling so much better than when I arrived. It is quite simple, RTR is the beat“

“Allow me to share my exceptional experience with the Evolwellness program, a truly life-changing opportunity that I wholeheartedly give a 5-star rating. I am immensely grateful to my dear friend Jessica for introducing me to this transformative program and facilitating communication as my interpreter.I must express my deepest appreciation to Coach Issa, who has gone above and beyond to ensure effective communication and support throughout my journey. His respectful and humble demeanor has created a safe and conducive environment for me to focus on my personal growth and progress. I am confident that with his dedication and ongoing commitment to learning sign language, he will undoubtedly become an invaluable asset to the program.I eagerly anticipate the continued success and positive outcomes that lie ahead as I continue to engage with this program. Thank you once again to everyone involved in making this experience truly remarkable.“

“I've been working with Ange for over a year and I really appreciate his knowledge, creativity, and concern for my well being. He is always coming up with new exercises to challenge me and I'm amazed at the results. Thank you Ange!“

“StarFit is fantastic! It was my first real gym experience and I felt welcomed and at home from day 1. I love how each workout feels balanced while also pushing me. Definitely recommend if you want an inclusive environment with great trainers!“

“Highly recommending ... the sense of accountability has been a game changer for me. They bring the importance of nutrition, recovery and mental well-being to the next level.“

“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’ve been coming to uplift for almost 4 years and there isn’t a better place to strength train and get fit! Nancy and her team create an incredibly holistic plan based on science and technology for you so it takes the guessing game out of working out. If you follow the plan you get results. The trainers are so great and I’ve made some incredible friends.“

“I completed my treatment with Dr. Schreffler a week ago. I feel great! Dr. Schreffler is best Chiropractor in this area. He is very knowledgeable. He treats his patients with his best practice. Highly recommended. Thanks!“

“By far the best workout in DC. I’m a Physical Therapist and have tried many workouts in the area, and not one compares to the level of expertise you will get with Katie, Burns \\u0026 Garrett. The programming is top notch - well thought out to not only give you a good workout, but to hit those muscle groups that are commonly ignored in other group workouts. They can easily help you modify if something is too difficult or if you are working through an injury. Big bonus - the community they’ve created is amazing. Everyone is welcoming and it’s a group you look forward to seeing every time you go to class. 10000% recommend!“

“It's hard to find a fitness studio that provides multiple streams of physical and mental wellness in such a boutique setting. Bryan and Kylie have created a community that makes everyone feel at home while personally investing in their clients fitness goals.I have been training with Tucker three-times a week for the last nine-months. Tucker has a rigorous, but easygoing approach to training that creates a highly motivating, yet low-pressure environment.  When I do have to reschedule a session, Tucker is always flexible and accommodating. Not only has my overall health, strength and endurance improved, but I have found the experience something I look forward to.If you are considering 1:1 personal training and want a well-equipped neighborhood studio setting, I couldn't recommend BC Strength more!“

“I highly recommend 9round for a fun and challenging workout! The exercises are new every day and chosen for you (explained by a trainer if needed) so it really takes away the mental labor required to choose a workout plan on your own. The trainers are all very knowledgeable and kind, they really helped to keep me motivated. As a newbie I learned proper form for many exercises, now that I've moved away I rely on those skills to work out on my own. The only downside to 9round is that it is a high impact exercise, so if you have joint problems it might not be the best fit. But I went 5-6x per week for 6+ months and never had joint pain, so it works for some of us.The gym environment and owners are very welcoming to everyone. Overall it's a wonderful healthy space to work out in!“

“Archie is a fantastic personal trainer and weight lifting coach. I started training with him back in 2019, and I’ve not only made consistent progress week to week, but I’ve also significantly improved my form and general fitness. He’s been able to assist me in all areas of my health, ranging from dietary recommendations and planning to providing exercise regiments that I can follow outside of our sessions. Easy recommend!“

“This is a gem of a gym! Jeff and a Josiah are great, the interval workout is designed to work with your pace and your abilities and every time you come in it's a different set of exercises. It's a gym with a great vibe and a fantastic community.“

“Great place for training in the martial arts. Always personalized for individual's own challenges and potential. Reliable and trustworthy family run place that has successfully operated in Bethesda for more than 20 years.“

“Training with Marvin has been amazing! He’s made me feel super comfortable and encouraged me to push a little further with every session. I appreciate his punctuality and professionalism as well as his expertise in fitness and nutrition. Thank you again for helping me reach my goals!!“

“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.“

“I trained with Doug several years to develop the discipline to maintain my fitness while travelling for work every week, working on an Executive MBA while working full-time and maintaining a social life. My biggest challenge was getting ready to participate in Tough Mudder Challenges in my 40s. Doug's workouts focused on my core to protect my back, endurance and strength training. I did 3 Tough Mudders with no injury and had the time of my life with friends.“

“I have had an excellent experience at 1to1 fitness. Jasmine, my trainer, guides me through both traditional and unique exercises that meet my physical needs. I have been continuing to gain strength since I started, without injury, which has been an issue in the past. I would highly recommend 1to1 fitness.“

“If there were 6 stars I would rate this place just that. I am in awe of the training I had with them, I have been in my fitness journey on and off for the past 8 years and have gone to multiple studios, and personal trainers in the NoVA area to find the right fit for me, my body and something that was challenging enough as well. Clarendon Personal hit all these in just the first session and every session I continue to take.I am someone who can tend to want to slip off my fitness journey every now and then but with them… nope, they pushed-me, encouraged me, reminded me of what I’m capable of, and were so consistent with their communication in and out of the center, that I ALWAYS felt so welcomed and appreciated going to work out with them. My body thanked me each time after the sessions, even though I did feel sore and felt every body part being put to work …it felt amazing because I felt i was getting my moneys worth and felt like I accomplished workouts I wouldn’t of ever thought I would do. I walk out proud of myself and thankful to have found a personal training center that focuses on me and actually puts the personal to personal training.“

“I can't give enough praise to Foundation Fitness and the Georgetown staff. From intake with Kimior to a year later of working out with the amazing Michaela, I have had a great experience. It is evident that Kimior has put much thought into creating a gym environment that is warm and welcoming to people of all ages and in all stages of their personal growth. I love that they emphasize health in its entirety--including sleep, nutrition, stretching/flexibility, muscle growth, fat loss (if that's your goal) and even a positive mental health. Michaela, in particular, has been an absolute blessing to my health and wellbeing. She is always ready to adjust my workouts based on my ongoing injuries and soreness, and has even implemented more mobility work to help with my injuries. It's like PT and a workout all in one, so instead of just feeling sore and in pain, I feel sore and strong. Thank you to this wonderful team and place. Happy to have found you all.“

“Cregory is a wonderful trainer. I began working with him when I was 8 weeks postpartum and he has been terrific -- always on time, motivating, and able to adapt exercises based on my needs. He has a ton of experience with women postpartum and understands how to adjust workouts accordingly (which is super important to avoid injuries) especially as a result of a c-section. He is extremely responsive and a pleasure to be around. He is results and goal oriented. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a personal trainer.“
