Trainers in Arlington

“I’ve been a member of lots of gyms and have worked out with multiple trainers in the last 25 years. Method’s approach is heads and shoulders above the rest.The team is very welcoming and the space is clean with impressive equipment. Caroline is a highly knowledgable and motivating trainer. She has helped me get stronger, learn new exercises with correct form and build muscles i never knew I had. The best part is that this process has been enjoyable along the way, including finally achieving a lifelong goal in tennis due to my increased stength and mobility. Thanks MF and Caroline!“

“Great instructors, and Teddy was amazing! I did 2 Muay Thai trial classes that were both fun and challenging. I'll definitely be coming back and signing up for the 2x-a-week membership.

They also offer a lot of classes at different times throughout the day, which makes scheduling easy. The facility is super clean and professional, and every staff member knows what they're doing. The gym is very community-oriented, with no feeling of toxicity—just a welcoming environment for everyone.

As soon as I am able to I will be coming back!“

“Starfit has helped me get on track with strength training in a welcoming, supportive environment just for women. While I run, swim, cycle, I have not been able to stick to at-home weight training. This studio is a great fit!“

“One of the things I appreciate most about this gym is the consistency. It’s always clean, the members are great, and the staff genuinely cares about the people who walk through the doors. The big windows and natural light make it an even better place to train. Great location, great atmosphere, and easily the best staff around.“

“Elin has been a standout as a trainer. He’s knowledgeable, attentive, and does a great job of tailoring workouts to my goals and fitness level. What I appreciate most is that he focuses on proper form and long-term progress rather than just pushing intensity for the sake of it. He’s also encouraging without being overbearing, which makes sessions both productive and comfortable.
Overall, I’d recommend both the gym and Elin to anyone looking for a supportive environment and a trainer who knows what they’re doing.“

“Dr. Schreffler is knowledgeable, skilled, and caring. He spent a good deal of time listening, questioning, examining, and taking notes. He then suggested a thoughtful, holistic approach to addressing my persistent neck and upper trapezius pain, including using an active release technique followed by optional dry needling, as well as suggesting stretching, strengthening, using proper form during strengthening exercises, proper posture when at rest, changing the type of bag I carry (from a shoulder bag and leather purse to a rolling bag or backpack), ensuring that I wear bras and swimsuits that offer adequate support and help distribute weight evenly, and even pointing out the advantage to using a claw clip rather than wearing a tight ponytail. He left no stone unturned. I’ve had only two treatments so far, but I’m optimistic that relief is finally on the way. You’ll be in good hands with Dr. S.“

“Very sore and happy with Barry's. The results with consistency are kicking in and when Elanna yells 'sprint at a 7-9' I'm not scared! Caroline at the front desk was super helpful when I popped in a couple weeks ago with my class pass trial and honestly what had me commit was her to care enough to share that booking through the Baryy's app; you are able to reserve 'your' tread and with being a class pass member you aren't able to do that. It really is about the added touch and detail for client's who are consistent with class.

Elanna, Jasmine, and Philip are my go to and their transitions from tread to floor are so seamless, class goes by super quick. It's the after that you realize you probably blacked out in class a few times and came back to life.

Very happy here! Everyone is friendly here, this is not a pretentious studio unlike the others around here.

*Side note, their smoothie bar, theragun's for use, and elevated toiletries and shower options are worth the monthly membership fees.“

“Love Next phase/training ground! I went in and chatted with Heather and she listened to all my needs and request! She matched me up with the perfect trainers that worked out exactly what I needed. Reggie and Chris are Great to train with very knowledgeable and committed to training. Love the small gym environment and the one to one attention.“

“If you’re looking for a compassionate and thoughtful LGBTQ+ friendly personal trainer, can’t recommend Lila more! Have been with her for ~6 months and can already see lots of progress“

“I've seen Dr. Schreffler for the duration of my pregnancy to proactively balance and mitigate so many of the traditional aches, pains, and body changes. His work with me has evolved with every week and every new concern/area of focus. He has a very personalized approach to meet the needs of my body. There are traditional chiropractic movements, but also body work, massage, and Webster Technique additions. Dr. Schreffler is kind, empathetic, knowledgeable (and shares this knowledge) proactively and makes me feel very comfortable (and my body feel better after every session). I've seen a few chiropractors and Dr. Schreffler is the best for me! Would highly recommend if you are looking for a thoughtful approach.“

“Love F45! The coaches are motivating, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about helping you improve your form and push yourself. The workouts are challenging but fun and the atmosphere is high energy and supportive!
Highly recommend for anyone looking for efficient workouts, great coaching, and a motivating community.“

“Gina is a super pleasant and amazing person to work with. Her Muscle Activation Technique (MAT) treatments are very helpful“

“If there were 6 stars I would rate this place just that. I am in awe of the training I had with them, I have been in my fitness journey on and off for the past 8 years and have gone to multiple studios, and personal trainers in the NoVA area to find the right fit for me, my body and something that was challenging enough as well. Clarendon Personal hit all these in just the first session and every session I continue to take.I am someone who can tend to want to slip off my fitness journey every now and then but with them… nope, they pushed-me, encouraged me, reminded me of what I’m capable of, and were so consistent with their communication in and out of the center, that I ALWAYS felt so welcomed and appreciated going to work out with them. My body thanked me each time after the sessions, even though I did feel sore and felt every body part being put to work …it felt amazing because I felt i was getting my moneys worth and felt like I accomplished workouts I wouldn’t of ever thought I would do. I walk out proud of myself and thankful to have found a personal training center that focuses on me and actually puts the personal to personal training.“

“5-Star Review for Coach Aric

I reached out to Aric for help with a nagging issue—a winged right scapula that had been bothering me for a while. We live far apart, otherwise I'd be at his gym every day, no question. Despite the distance and not even seeing my shoulder in person, Aric listened carefully to my description and immediately knew what to do.

He sent me three exercises tailored to my issue, and on the very first day of doing them, I already felt a noticeable difference. No guesswork, no fluff—just precise, practical guidance from someone who clearly knows what they're doing.

Sometimes, the insight you need doesn’t come from a doctor—it comes from a wise coach who genuinely understands the body. Aric is that guy. Can’t recommend him enough.“

“Wyatt is an excellent trainer, he has been helping me with my fitness goals of becoming a great tennis player. Over the course of the past two months, I have been seeing more progress than I ever could have imagined. Overall, he can help his clients with any form of full-body workout and always manages to make the workout fun as well.“
