Trainers in Fairfax

“It has almost been a year since I’ve been on my fitness journey with Brian as my coach…and honestly, I can only say great things! It was February of 2023 when I decided I wanted to step into the year living a healthier lifestyle. My goals were to not only focus on sustainable weight loss, but to also learn how to incorporate nutritious foods into my diet — making it sustainable on a daily basis, and to be consistent with exercise so that I am able to build and gain muscle.Brian embodies the qualities of being personable, flexible, and incredibly knowledgeable. His commitment to tailoring workouts to my specific goals has been instrumental in my journey. He does weekly check-ins, which creates a supportive environment, and his openness to answering questions demonstrates a genuine dedication to my progress. I’m thrilled to say that I've achieved my goals and am looking forward to another year of progress! Highly recommend!“

“Wonderful community and approach. Shout out to trainers and schedule. The program provides the support I need to achieve health goals.“

“I've enjoyed my Pilates lessons at Bodies by Bonnie, and Rebecca has been a great instructor. I knew next to nothing about Pilates other than it could help someone with chronic back issues. Rebecca helped me to slowly and patiently build my strength and confidence using Pilates exercises. I'm doing a lot better now than I was when I started. I think the attention to breath and form that Pilates requires will help with all my physical activities in the future.“

“An amazing trainer, listener, and coach. Very fair price and you definitely get what you pay for! Excellent service.“

“I’ve been using On the Go Fitness about a year now and I have to say the team is awesome! I’ve had personal trainers off and on for over two decades. I was in the military and needed one to keep me maxing my PT scores. (...because the scores DO matter no matter what you want to believe.) While many things play into your success in the military, I argue that “excellent” performance on your PT tests does a lot psychologically to show you are ready for the challenges of leadership. You don’t need to be a gym rat to be a good leader. You just need to show up once a year, and effortlessly max what is expected of you. And, this is where making an investment in yourself by having an outstanding personal trainer pays dividends in promotional opportunities.I’ve also used personal trainers to just help me keep myself fit to enjoy the games of life. Whether it is snowboarding, windsurfing, running in fun OCRs, climbing with your friends in the gym, or just trying something new. When you are healthy and fit, you get to play more. You get to see what is beyond your sofa and refrigerator. You get to stop feeling tired, and get to laugh and enjoy life more.I could go to the gym and push weights. I’m smart enough to know what I’m doing on my own and not get hurt. TBH, most people don’t. I’ve spent years in the gyms and I see you, and I’m cringing because I know you are going to be hurting at some point. Or you are just going to walk away because you feel intimidated by those people that are going to hurt themselves at some point. A trainer, these trainers in particular, are going to make sure that never happens.Don’t think of personal trainers as luxuries. I’m not rich. I drive old cars, and use duct tape in most of my household repairs. Think of personal trainers as a necessity in helping you live the best life you can. After all, there are no “do overs” with life. When that big white light comes, will you be saying “I wish I learned to ski, or I wish I could have played with my grandkids more”? Being physically healthy and fit will not only help you live longer, but it will help you live better. The research and science is there. This is not an infomercial, it is reality.And, the best part… it doesn’t matter how old you are, how tired you are, or how broken you are. If you are 80, you will keep your independence. If you are 50 and going through menopause, it will help you manage that madness. If you are 40 and now feeling the pain of your younger years of incorrectly pumping iron or doing things you shouldn’t have they will help you overcome those “hangovers”. And if you are 20, you will learn the true way of fitness and conditioning to keep you in the best health as you manage the challenges life will throw at you.You can try and “duct tape” your health, but odds are not in your favor. Leave that for your HVAC or cracked window. Get a trainer. Invest in yourself and the life you want to live. Dave and his team will ensure your investment has the highest and most enduring in lifelong returns.“

“I am so happy that I started my exercise program in Fairfax! Just 20 minutes two days a week of supervised, intense weight lifting which makes it something I can stick to.

It would be great for someone new to strength training or for people like me who have been lifting for awhile, but appreciate less thinking and planning.

The trainer - in Fairfax, it’s Andrew who is wonderful - handles everything, from exercises chosen and sequence, to setting the weights, tracking progress, increasing weights, and timing each exercise.

Imagine circuit training where you just move from station to station and it’s ready for you. Andrew pushes me, which I definitely need, but is also mindful of challenges and injuries.

He is fantastic to work with; very personable, patient, motivating, and encouraging.

For healthy aging, women are being encouraged to include resistance training. The Perfect Workout is an effective way to incorporate it, even if you don’t know what you’re doing.“

“Was unsure of signing up due to quite a few bad reviews, but decided to do a guest pass since this is the closest gym and NOVA traffic sucks.This is my experience going at around the same time of day each time: It's overall a good gym. Plenty of machines/racks and the locker room is clean. You'll be hard-pressed to find a better gym than this for the same cost.App kind of sucks, but that's out of their control.Would love it if there were competition-grade Kg plates, but I might be in the small minority that would use them.“

“This gym is definitely one of the cleanest. I for one can’t stand to see when there are tissues and misc. stuff just sitting around. Here they definitely are more diligent about making their rounds and keeping it tidy. Plenty of equipment and has everything I need plus some more. The staff is so kind and inviting. More than I’ve seen in other gyms around the area. Definitely, I see myself going long term here even if i have another PF closer to me in the future.

Thanks Fairfax Team for keeping it up!“
