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.“

“I highly recommend training at Krav Oz.

This is my third year here. I've been to other gyms before and have attended drop-in classes at other gyms (during holidays or travels) after joining KO and talked to several members who (themselves or their kids) have been training at KO for over 5 years. So I can give some perspective on what makes KO stand out.

KO has a clean facility, well-organized teaching curriculum, skilled and certified instructors, different types of self defense and fitness classes. They regularly bring in well-renowned instructors to teach Muy Thai, BJJ, and Knife Control Concept seminars.

While Combat sports are intrinsically risky, at KO they emphasize training safely (teaching us how to protect ourselves and our partners).

Most importantly, I liked the community. The staff pleasantly greets you when you enter KO. If you are new to KO, they'll introduce you to other members. KO also organizes UFC watch parties, holiday parties and socials around the area, which helps build connections outside of training.

Members too are welcoming. I've made some good friends here. We train together, motivate each other during difficult exercises or days when you don't feel like working out. Folks here genuinely care about your progress.

Having a fun, supportive and safe environment at KO has helped me stay consistent in my training, learn self defense and improve my fitness.

Stop by for a tour of the facility, take a drop-in class, talk to members and decide for yourself if it's the right fit for you. If it isn’t the right fit, I think the staff might even suggest you a gym that better suits your (training/schedule) needs.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“My 6 (almost 7) year old daughter just recently started seeing Camille and she has been nothing short of amazing! Camille took on my daughter who was recently diagnosed with a rare bone disease called Legg-Calve-Perthes disease and has already helped her tremendously! Our daughter walked out of her first visit feeling comfortable and confident. Our daughter’s first words while walking out of her first appointment was “I really love her, do I get to see her again?” And that made us feel incredibly grateful and confident in Camille! Not only had Camille helped with our daughter’s condition but she also reached out to specialists to see if anyone could help take on our daughters case as we have not had much luck finding a specialist who would be as kind, caring and attentive with our daughter. Camille has gone above and beyond for our daughter and I couldn’t thank her enough for her kindness and compassion during this difficult time! Thank you so much Camille! You truly are an Angel! ❤️“

““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. "“

“Laurie is amazing! She takes the time to understand your needs and builds a program that makes sense. She is patient and helpful! If you follow her lead you will succeed! 5 STARS !!“

“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!“
