Nutritionists in Washington

“Highly recommend Arkadiy Makarov (Archie) – an outstanding personal trainer near Dupont Circle
Arkadiy is a true expert in strength training. From the very first session it was clear he understands how to deliver maximum results quickly while keeping everything safe and sustainable. He combines precise coaching with deep knowledge of nutrition and helped me create a realistic, easy-to-follow plan that fit my lifestyle.
In just one year of training with him I lost over 40 pounds. The transformation has been so noticeable that friends constantly ask me what the secret is. The real secret is Arkadiy’s attention to proper technique—he takes the time to teach every movement correctly, so I now feel completely comfortable walking into any gym and using the equipment with confidence, even when I’m traveling and away from Washington, DC.
What sets him apart is how flexible and dedicated he is with his time. He regularly stays well past the scheduled session whenever he feels we need a little extra work to keep progressing. I started out feeling very intimidated by the idea of personal training, but our sessions quickly became the most mentally relaxing part of my day—a focused time when I can shut everything else out and simply concentrate on myself and my progress. I genuinely look forward to every appointment.
If you’re searching for a knowledgeable, patient, results-driven trainer in the Dupont Circle area who will push you safely and support you both physically and mentally, you won’t find better than Archie. I can’t recommend him highly enough.“

“This gym is nothing short of amazing. I am feeling stronger, healthier, and happier after only going there for a month. I highly recommend.“

“July 2025 marks the sixth year I have been going to Dedicated Strength - there are many reasons why I'm dedicated to this gym (see what I did there?). Joe and Angela, the owners, care deeply about their clients and their clients’ goals. They listen closely to what you want to achieve and work with you to make it happen. If life throws you curve balls (like back problems), they ensure you can continue your fitness journey safely and successfully. They foster an inclusive, low stress environment. I cannot count the number of times I have entered the gym beaten down by the stress of the day, only to leave happier and with less stress. They hire qualified professional trainers who share the same values of client focus and a collaborate, inclusive environment. I also value the comradery with the fellow clients, as we travel along our fitness goals; no one is judgmental, from staff to client. Dedicated Strength is something special, and I am very glad I found it.“

“"Dr. Rosa" as we call her is the best personal trainer I've ever had - by far. My wife and I started having her come train us during the pandemic and two years in have invested in twice weekly visits up from once a week. She's that good. The personalized attention, focus on healing injuries and strengthening weaknesses, her sensitivities and smarts, all contribute to our improved health and strength in countless ways. We are so grateful to have found her!“

“Dr. keita is a special, gifted Subject Matter Expert on Holistic Chiropractic Care. I have lived in NW DC for 7 years and been with her for about 5 years. She sets the bar high because she truly educates me and goes above and beyond to get to the root of the issue. In one visit she implements several modalities to address my problems holistically. Despite living in NW, I travel way across town for her because she is a wise, knowledgeable, loving, honest and believes in Knowledge Transfer which as an educated consumer I highly prioritize.“

“For over four years, UnitedHealthcare has proudly partnered with Sarah and Glenn, and we are continually impressed by the exceptional work they deliver.

“Njeri reviewed my history from our last work together and she thoroughly asked questions which framed where I currently was with eating, proper intake, supplements, exercise, medications; And, how we’re going to move forward to detox to strengthen my body to put my MGUS in remission. I’ve done an intensive questionnaire and I’m in the process of submitting all recent tests results so that Njeri can review and develop a composite for our plan of attack. Njeri Jarvis is an exceptional nutritionist and I trust her to help me grow and heal.“

“Dr. Salcedo is truly exceptional—she has magic hands. When I first started seeing her, I could barely walk. She stayed patient, thoughtful, and fully committed throughout my recovery, constantly adjusting my treatment plan based on what my body needed in the moment. Her care didn’t just help me feel better day-to-day—it also played a pivotal role in shaping my physical therapy and overall recovery plan.

This has been a long journey, and I can say with complete confidence that I would not be where I am today without her support and expertise.

Beyond her skill, Dr. Salcedo is incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in her patients’ well-being. She even encouraged me to get bloodwork done and accurately anticipated vitamin deficiencies I should look into—something that made a meaningful difference in my healing.

And I have to give a special shoutout to Luna, her in-office service animal, who deserves “Employee of the Month” every single month. ?

If you’re looking for a chiropractor who is not only highly skilled but truly cares, I cannot recommend Dr. Salcedo enough.“
