Trainers in Alexandria

“I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with HBR Personal Training. As someone with a long history of orthopedic injuries and surgeries, I have worked with many physical therapists and trainers over the years. Never have I experienced one as in-tune with body mechanics and kinesiology in my life. I feel stronger and less injury-prone after 5 months of training with Brad. And when/if I come in with pain, he is able to adjust our training session on the fly to address any concerns--and most of the time the issue has resolved by the time I leave. I may have used the word "magician" when describing Brad to family and friends more than a few times. If you are looking for a highly personalized experience for increased strength, function, and injury prevention, your search is over.“

“Cecilia is a true master of her art. I have been to multiple other studios and salsa instructors and there's no one else that comes close in elevating my dance skills as Cecilia does.

With over decades of experience, Cecilia has incredible knowledge to share with her students, both leads and follows, as she is herself a master at both.

In addition to her teaching a wide variety of moves and building blocks, she also always adds twists and variations to make the dance patterns more exciting.“

“Highly, highly recommend Elin Fitness to anyone looking for a high caliber personal training experience and all around support team.Elin and his team (I worked with John) were extraordinary professionals. They exceeded my expectations for a personal trainer and offered a multitude of training plan options that I could fit in my busy schedule. Unfortunately, due to external physical health challenges, I am unable to continue working with them. During the time I was figuring out my care, Elin was not only very understanding but was also a tremendous resource for options I could pursue for my specific situation, and worked with me while I figured out my next steps. I’m grateful I got to work with them for the season I was able to.“

“I highly recommend BT Fitness! I am in my late 60’s and, while I have been active and have exercised all my adult life, I never had a trainer. I was really nervous to try one b/c I have lots of issues—a knee implant, a torn meniscus, and a torn rotator cuff, plus my age. But Berhani Mehari, the owner & trainer, was just a marvel! He definitely pushed me hard and I was so happy with my increased fitness level, especially my strength. Yet, at the same time he was very conscientious in working around my joint problems and always listened to what I told him was going on with my body in the moment. He really knows his stuff; I always felt that I was in safe hands. I just can’t recommend him enough.“

“I lost 46lbs and 6% body fat and I am very happy with the progress made on my Body Transformation Journey! I feel more confident than ever, no longer hiding behind my clothes. I feel more confident walking into rooms. People I haven't seen in a while tell me how good I look, and it makes my day because I know the work I put behind it shows.Before my fitness journey with Jé, I never truly felt comfortable in my skin because I struggled losing weight and thought I tried everything. I played sports throughout high school but quickly gained weight in college, and once I graduated, I was on the hunt for ways to live a healthier lifestyle.I had so many questions about how to eat, lose fat, gain muscle, and work out in an enjoyable way—Jé had the answers! From the very beginning, I saw someone who believed in me and would push me to reach my goals. Joining Battle Fitness has kept me accountable and taught me how to have a healthy relationship with food and working out.I have tried another trainer before, but they didn't pay as much attention to detail as Jé did with my workout and nutritional guidance. With Jé, I could see results almost immediately.Training with a semi-private group makes working out fun! Though we have our individual goals and are at different points in our transformation journey, we are able to push each other to keep going. I remember during my first training session virtually with a group, I was struggling to complete an exercise - another client who was further along on her fitness journey gave me a quick pep talk to keep going, that it would get easier with time - That showed me that not only did I have a personal trainer but I also had a community that had the same drive and goals as I did.Training virtually gives me the flexibility of working out wherever I want, whether at home or out of town, making training 10x easier, and forces me to ditch the excuses for why I can't work out. I work long hours, and it's nice not to have to rush to a class or gym. I can even have dinner cooking at the same time as my training session! I always thought I would need to buy all the intricate machines that a gym has, but Jé has proven that with very little equipment, I can achieve my goals.I learned a lot about myself and my body over the course of my fitness journey and I'm so happy I joined Battle Fitness.“

“Friendly, knowledgeable, supportive, and professional staff. A great place to get in shape!“

“I recommend getting treatment here for anyone with hEDS. Jen and Angela are great and care a lot about their clients.“

“Igor is an amazing personal trainer! I’ve been training with him for almost 5 years and he still surprises us with his variety of exercises-you don’t get bored. He is able to modify all exercises to individual needs and he’s great with helping you recover if you’ve had an injury or surgery.He also works out with you-he’s not one to stand around just counting for you. Igor also gives you workout plans while you’re traveling and will Zoom sessions too. His prices are so reasonable given the amount of training and talent he brings. And, he’s just one of the nicest people you’ll meet. My strength, stamina and balance are better than some of the younger clients and that’s thanks to Igor. I ran my first Army 10 Miler and also finished the Stadium Spartan race!“

“Kristen has provided invaluable knowledge about how to improve my cycling, running, rock climbing, and be more well rounded. A quick conversation about how I was engaging my body during cycling led to a moment that completely changed how I approach the activity.“

“Was recommended this studio by a friend who lives locally and dropped into MVMNT for a quick early morning class while in town. We stayed in Downtown Alexandria and the gym was around 15 mins away (walking). Such a great cute little women's studio. We did the Bosu class and it kicked our butts. The instructor made sure we had the right form and led a fast paced high intensity class. Would definitely recommend! Please note - there's only one bathroom for the studio which includes a shower.“

“Remi is an outstanding trainer who tailors exercises to your needs, both in personal and group sessions. He creates dynamic, interesting workouts that help you work toward your goals. He is constantly learning, educating himself on the latest advancements and trends in the industry so he can bring his clients fresh ideas and perspectives to help them in their journey. I’ve been training with him for years and he’s become essential to my fitness routine.“

“Kelly is an AWESOME trainer! She is incredibly knowledgeable about body mechanics and ensures each exercise is the right one for you and your goals. The entire team is welcoming and the gym is perfect for personal training.“

“Very clean facility, I was promptly welcomed by the staff. Locker rooms were spotless and there was a good amount of equipment to choose from.“

“The GM Eros is very kind, professional and fair. He gave me a tour of the gym before allowing me to try everything out. My experience was great and the staff was very friendly so I decided to join the gym. I will definitely be recommending LA Fitness to all of my friends and coworkers! Thanks again Eros for all of your help“
