Trainers in Washington

“Great gym, great space, solid time offerings, great people and fantastic coaches…come check it out and make 2025 your best year!!“

“I can recommend Uplift Strength & Spirit most highly. Staff is experienced, professional, welcoming, and supportive. They worked with me to tailor training sessions to my personal goals. Uplift takes a wholistic approach to fitness including lifestyle, nutrition, and flexibility. I had been away from structured gym workouts for over a year and am already seeing positive results after a month in muscle tone, strength, and weight loss.“

“Always have a great experience at orangtheory. Staff was very accommodating especially LaNita that helped me with questions I had. I will for sure be back soon!“

“The coaches in the class are great!
The equipment is great and in good condition.
I love the guided classes and motivation via challenges peers and coaches.
I wish there were more times ( 9a — 10a, 1p - 3p, 7p-8p)
love this OT, I would definitely recommend.“

“Where to start?
The warm welcome
The professional team
The encouragement when even I did not believe in me….
I have been working with Stanson for two months and wow I have lost 6 pounds gained muscle but mostly feel great!
Thank you Stanson, thank you team foundation fitness….. always a pleasure to walk in and even a greater pleasure to walk out feeling better than I walked in.

Highly recommend for anybody who is looking to look and feel better.Bahareh“

“Working with Archie has been a complete game-changer for me. He is incredibly knowledgeable and truly passionate about what he does. His understanding of exercise techniques is on another level—he pays attention to every detail of form, execution, and progression, which has helped me train smarter and avoid injuries.
What really sets Archie apart is how he combines training with practical nutrition guidance. He didn’t just give me a generic diet plan; he taught me physiological tricks and strategies that actually make sticking to a healthy diet feel sustainable and even easy. He helped me structure meal timing, manage hunger, and build habits that fit my real life.
The results speak for themselves: I’ve lost over 40 pounds so far and I’m still steadily losing while feeling stronger and more energetic than I have in years.
If you’re serious about transforming your body and your health, Archie is the trainer you want in your corner. Highly, highly recommend!
Thank you, Archie—you’re the best!“

“Karina has been a wonderful trainer for someone like me that doesn’t have an athletic background. I leave waddling after leg day, but the physical changes are worth it. She did a great job of easing my friend and I into working out (we started with zero knowledge and hate cardio).

I have bad wrists and she modifies my routine with zero judgement.

I see the personal training as an investment. Karina has given me enough tools to now feel confident to do some workouts on my own (and she can offer personalized homework for when you can't come in). So if I decide I want to reduce how frequently I see her, I still feel independent and in control of my own health.

The gym itself is small, which is less intimidating than a very public larger gym. Friendly folks of all ages. Definitely recommend finding a friend to do partner workouts if you feel shy. It’s cheaper and makes it more fun“

“I have been loving F45 U Street. It offers a fun, challenging workout and an incredible community. Since moving to DC in January it has quickly become my go-to gym!“

“Ive known Danny for at least a decade and im upset that I waited to tap into his expertise as a trainer. I’ve worked with him for a year and he’s helped me get stronger than I’ve ever been in my life. Even at 40+. He’s great at what he does!“

“I really enjoy coming to this Planet Fitness. The workout area is consistently clean, well organized, and has everything I need for a good workout. The equipment is in great shape, and the overall atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable. It’s a reliable gym that makes it easy to stay motivated and stick to a routine. Highly recommend!“

“I’m so excited to have found this studio. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. The trainers are kind and knowledgeable. I feel very safe physically - which is often my concern. I love the machines. The tech is very cool and it adjusts the machine to the perfect strength just for you. Highly recommend.“

“Expert trainers using the latest developments in exercise and fitness to assist the client in achieving personal goals - D.Olive“

“I LOOOVE my home OTF. It’s the best. And I think this one might be just as good. Front desk staff Kenny friendly and helpful, head coach Antonique is awesome, the other instructors have been terrific. And a special shout out to Antonique who was really gracious and helpful accommodating my disability. Looking forward to more visits to this branch!“

“Best studio in DC. Super kind instructors that will secretly kick your butt!! Very happy to incorporate this into my weightlifting and I love the small feel. It’s like you’re working out with a group of friends.“

“Leila ran an excellent summer camp experience -- my children couldn't stop talking about their trips to the library and getting library cards, visiting the pool -- and they even loved doing exercises in the gym. She is an amazing camp leader and an overall kind and thoughtful person who really knows how to engage with young people. Plus she sent photos! Parents, this is a great day camp option for when your children are out of school.“

“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.“

“Liz is a fantastic trainer that I have been working with for two years. She has worked with my injuries to make me stronger and more confident in my workouts. We have switched to online workouts because of the pandemic. They have been challenging without needing tons of equipment at home. I highly recommend Liz!

Update: Liz was integral in helping me get my body ready for delivering my first child. She was thoughtful, strategic, and supportive throughout the different stages of my pregnancy, helping me feel confident in my recovery. Those side planks came in handy during delivery!“

“Facility is clean and has 3 different levels. Cardio, resistant machines, free weights, sauna, locker room, and classes.“

“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.“

“Tom is a fantastic personal trainer and one I highly recommend.
I connected with Tom a year ago. I was coming off an injury and looking to take my fitness and athletic performance to the next level, all while balancing a demanding career. Tom has delivered. His workouts are efficient, effective, and individually tailored. Tom comes right to my office gym with a plan in hand for the day. And on a personal note, he's also a great guy, and I enjoy the time we spend training together. Under his guidance, I'm training harder and moving better than I have in years. Tom, if you're reading this—thanks, and see you soon!“

“Jason is the best. All the trainers doa great job keeping me healthy, fit, and ready for my races!“

“I had such a positive experience at More Than Human LLC. The environment was welcoming, professional, and empowering from start to finish. Anthony is an excellent trainer knowledgeable, respectful, and genuinely attentive to everyone in the room.

What really stood out was how intentional he was about making women feel safe and supported, including myself. He created a space where everyone felt comfortable, confident, and encouraged to learn without pressure or intimidation. I left feeling stronger, more informed, and really glad I started to train here. Highly recommend!“

“For over four years, UnitedHealthcare has proudly partnered with Sarah and Glenn, and we are continually impressed by the exceptional work they deliver. Their expertise has transformed our wellness offerings, garnering consistently positive feedback from our audience. From nutrition and cooking classes to sophrology and kettlebell training, their diverse sessions add significant value to our programs. Beyond their professional excellence, their outstanding communication and friendly demeanor make them an absolute pleasure to work with. We wholeheartedly recommend this incredible team.“

“Hi, I have had an incredible experience with Laura. She was very attentive and caring during our session. Laura is skilled and knowledgable. This made me feel safe. I highly recommend using Laura's services.“
