FAQ

Can you tell me more about the studio?

Our newly renovated (location) studio specializes in 1 on 1 Personal Training and Semi Private Training. Each program is individualized based on your specific goals/needs and includes progress tracking, nutrition guidance, mobility work, functional movements and strength training. There is also a warmup, foam rolling and dynamic stretching protocol that is completed before your training session starts.

What services do you offer?

1 on 1 Personal Training, Semi Private Training (2-8 Clients), Virtual Training, Online Coaching (Via the Foundation Fitness PT app)

Which program is right for me?

There are many factors we consider to determine the recommended program: Size and complexity of personal goals, availability, comfort with weight training, injury history, current fitness/health status, travel schedule, level of accountability needed, size/quality of support system, and of course, personal preferences and past experiences with PT.

How do I get more info / What is the first step?

We are more than happy to answer any general questions you may have over the phone or via email, but we find it works best if you come in for a Free Fitness Consultation.

What can I expect from the Fitness Consultation?

During the consultation we will tour the studio, discuss your exercise/medical history and fitness goals, then review our programs to see what works best with your schedule and budget.

How do you choose the trainer I will work with?

We place you with your trainer based on three criteria. Personality, schedule and skillset.

How is progress tracked?

We believe in transparency, especially when it comes to progress tracking. We use the Foundation Fitness PT app to track workouts and strength progress in and out of the studio, weekly InBody scans to track body composition changes and MindBody Online (scheduling software) to track consistency.

How many days should I train?

As a general rule, 4-6 days of physical activity per week is recommended. Those do not all need to be with Personal Training or even strength based workouts. Cardio, walking, yoga, pilates and martial arts are all great additions to the overall program. That being said, this can be tricky to balance, so we will help you build the perfect program that will both provide enough training to reach your goals while not causing unneeded stress or burnout.

Been working with Amber for a few months. My doctor saw me when the wife was getting a checkup and went out of her way to mention how much better I'm looking these days. NGL, felt good to have the work recognized. Definitely recommend her to anyone who asks 👍👍👍

Couldn't say better things about my experience at Foundation Fitness and working with Mackenzie! I've always found exercising really difficult to stick with, but after 4 months of training here, I can honestly say that my sessions are something I look forward to.The gym itself is clean, well-equipped, and has a positive atmosphere. The trainers are all friendly and welcoming. Mackenzie is someone who both challenges you and listens to your concerns and never makes you feel guilty about falling off track for a bit. My sessions are always fun, even if the reps are hard.In my short time here, I definitely feel stronger than before. If you’re looking for a gym and trainer that will help you not just stick with it but truly enjoy the process, this is the place. Highly recommend!

I started my fitness journey with Foundation Fitness Annandale several months ago and I have to say they have shaped my view of fitness and wellness for the better as they have provided me with a roadmap that is proving to be effective and fun. My first point of contact was with Patrick and he was great: he was a genuine sample of the type of trainers that I have interacted with and seen on FF of Annandale. He was authentic and seemed to genuinely care for his team and for the people that visit the FF gyms. He walked me through the process, and took the time to understand what were my goals and obstacles in my fitness journey. He addressed all my concerns and worked towards finding an optimal schedule in order to help me meet my goals. Part of drafting a plan included finding a location that would adjust to my needs, Patrick suggested the Annandale location that is owned by Steven, and they appointed me to have Mackenzie as my trainer. Steven and Mackenzie are the best! As a first timer for getting training and going into a gym I felt intimidated, however they have made everything feel so easy and familiar, for example every time I walk in they make sure to joyfully greet me by name, also when I first joined they both proactively helped me to make sure I understood how to use the machines.Steven is friendly and keeps a fun environment at the gym: he always has great music and is encouraging fun interactions between the all the members of this community.In Steven’s gym everyone is respectful and friendly, and the trainers are the type of people that get along great and try to make a community out of it, for example, Mackenzie makes sure to introduce me to other folks making it feel like I’m part of a community.In terms of training with Mackenzie I have to say she is great so far! She has incredible memory and remembers small details from all of our conversations, she listens to my feedback/goals and tailors the sessions accordingly. She also has experience working in a Physical Therapy setting and frequently incorporates that into her sessions. She also provides valuable insights on muscle building, healthy habits, and things to do to improve my recovery. Mackenzie also makes the session fun and interactive! Mackenzie also keeps track of the program and the progress I am making: is not something random or spur of the moment but rather a methodical and thoughtful approach towards helping me achieve my goals.Here you will get not only fitness but a community and lots of laughs.

FOUNDATION FITNESS!!! I LOVE this place. I played sports growing up but was never someone who worked out on my own. Steven has helped me understand exercise techniques that I never could’ve figured out by myself. He knows exactly what I need to do to see improvement and isn’t afraid to challenge me. All the trainers are awesome. Amber and McKenzie are so knowledgeable and helpful. Even though they aren’t my trainers, they’re very engaging, fun to be around, supportive, and a part of my fitness journey. Steven has a great attitude and impeccable customer service. I’m glad I chose Foundation Fitness because I don’t think I’d be as committed to working out if I didn’t start here. A welcoming, challenging (but not in a scary way), fun, focused, and collaborative environment have been key to my success so far. Whether you’re an exercise newbie or serious bodybuilder these capable trainers will help you achieve your goals and set new ones. All the clients I’ve met are really great people. Lastly, an honorable mention to Angelo (now at a different location): he’s a great trainer, kind person, very knowledgeable, and has a good energy. COME TRY FOUNDATION FITNESS!!!

Foundation Fitness of Annandale is a great place to get in shape. The personal trainers are knowledgeable, personal, and communicative. The facility is clean and has all the equipment you need. The personal trainers design the workouts specifically for you, and carefully monitor your progress. I had surgery on my neck in connection with neck and throat cancer. Steven has designed exercises to help me regain mobility and strength in my neck and right shoulder, as well as rebuild muscle I lost during chemotherapy and radiation treatments. My only regret is that I did not start with Foundation Fitness sooner.The collegial environment makes the workouts enjoyable. Each personal trainer is willing to pitch in and help if needed. They all take an interest in your training and progress.I must give credit to my wife who found Foundation Fitness through a diligent Internet search. The positive reviews are well deserved.I recommend Foundation Fitness of Annandale. They will "pump you up"!

I’ve been working with Mackenzie at Foundation Fitness for a few months. She’s been nothing short of incredible. She’s very knowledgeable and created a sustainable program that works for me.

Training with Mackenzie has been an amazing experience! She takes the time to understand my goals, my strengths, and even the little details about how my body responds differently to different exercises. Every session feels completely tailored to me—not just a generic workout plan, but something designed to help me progress in a way that feels right for my body. I’ve seen noticeable results and feel stronger than ever! I've also worked with Stephen and Patrick, and they are top-notch trainers too—the team at Foundation Fitness is fantastic! I can’t recommend them enough!

The trainers are knowledgeable, friendly, and truly dedicated to helping me reach my fitness goals. From creating personalized workout plans to providing motivation and support during each session, they have been instrumental in pushing me to new levels of strength and endurance.The gym itself is clean, well-equipped, and offers a wide range of classes and workout options to suit every fitness level. The atmosphere is welcoming and inclusive, making it easy to feel comfortable and motivated during each workout.Overall, I highly recommend personal training at this gym to anyone looking to improve their fitness and overall health. The combination of expert guidance, accountability, and a supportive community has made a huge difference in my journey towards a healthier lifestyle.

When i started looking for gyms to help me get back in shape i had a lot of false starts. But as soon as I walked in the door at Foundation Fitness I could tell something was different. The vibe was great, there were people of all sizes, ages, abilities, genders and races. Everyone I met was super welcoming, and that feeling continues every time I walk through the door to train. And the trainers are exceptional. They work with you, knowing when to push and when to be supportive. My trainer is Amber and I couldn't be happier with her. She pays close attention and learns your abilities, knowing just when to get you to level up or when you might need a mod. I always feel supported working out there, both from Amber and the people i train with. You won't find a better place to get strong and meet your Fitness goals!

After various false starts in my diet and weight loss journey, I decided it was time to get serious. I went an interview at multiple gyms, and committed to Foundation Fitness Annandale. I joined the small group training and it has been nothing short of life-changing. I mainly train with Collin and Angelo, but all the trainers have been friendly, knowledgeable and encouraging.The small group training has been perfect for me having a small group encourages and challenges me to do my best each session. I’ve been with FF-Annandale for just short of 3 months and have lost over 20 pounds, while gaining strength and mobility. If you take advantage, they have a great app that pairs with Apple Health and myFitnessPal.I enjoy coming to each session and look forward to being challenged. Can’t thank the Foundation Fitness team enough and will update as I continue to progress.

I’ve been training with Steven since May 2024. He’s helped me get back on track with my health in every way that I could not have imagined. His aim is not to make me a gym rat, but improving my mobility to help me get back to a higher quality living. I truly appreciate his flexibility, his honesty, and check ins to keep me motivated every time we train. I’m pumped for the work to come as we continue building towards my goals.

I began my journey with Foundation Fitness in the fall of 2023. I started at 285 lbs and with low endurance levels. Even with foot surgery in November and limited mobility for a month, the team worked with me on a regimen that would keep my progress moving forward. Here I am almost a year later, and I have not felt better in years. I am down 40 pounds and my endurance level has improved substantially. I am 65 years old. Collin Scheidt is one of the best trainers I have had the pleasure of working with. He forms each program to meet my needs and capabilities, yet continues to push me to exceed the plan. He motivates and encourages, while keeping a sense of humor, and focuses on doing routines that address multiple muscle groups at one time. It is amazing what a knowledgeable and thoughtful trainer can help you accomplish.If you want to succeed, Collin is you man!!

I have been training at the Foundation Fitness gym in Ashburn for years--even before it was Foundation Fitness. I have had a few FF trainers over the years, including Kevin Wickline and Kasiah Meyers. I have been very happy with both Kevin and Kasiah. Both pay a lot of attention to how you are feeling on the days you train and accommodate your training to any issues you are having that day. Both also pay attention to the progress you are making in your training--amount of weight you can lift, reps, etc. I train mostly now with Kasiah. She is very careful to discuss my goals with me and to structure my workouts to achieve my goals. I train with her 3 days a week, and she makes sure to vary my workout by days so I am not overly working any one set of muscles. She encourages me to push myself, and is a cheerleader when I achieve new levels. She is always studying weight training, anatomy, motivation, etc. and applying what she learns to her training practices. Plus she is very nice and I enjoy working with her. I would highly recommend Foundation Fitness in Ashburn, and Kasiah. (And Kevin also, of course!)

Amber is an excellent trainer, consistently good about adapting workouts not only to overall personal goals but also to however I may be feeling on a specific day. She us personable, professional, and adds a lot of value to the team of trainers. All of the trainers male a great, friendly, supportive community and contribute to a positive atmosphere for every client in the gym.

I started training with Amber a year ago. She kicks my butt!!! in a good way 🙂 With her help I have seen tremendous gains in my strength, endurance, and overall fitness. I need the accountability a trainer offers, and Amber gives me just that. I benefit from her many years of experience, professionalism, kindness, and sense of humor. Foundation Fitness and the team of trainers welcomed me from day one, and create a small, non-judgemental environment for all.

My original post from a year ago is below. I want to send an update May 2024. I'm still a member with Foundation Fitness and I'm training with Amber now. I started with Angelo who got me started, but it's with Amber that I've made fitness part of my life. If you want the personal attention with trainers who are knowledgeable and passionate, then I can't say enough about Foundation Fitness. 5 plus stars!!!!!I joined Foundation Fitness of Annandale in November 2022 and am still going strong! I am more than happy with the personal training I receive. My trainer (Angelo) is passionate about his job. His enthusiasm is a great motivator—it’s exactly what you need to push yourself. If you want to reach your goals and make changes to strengthen your body, I can’t say enough great things about Angelo. He will help you get the job done! He clearly knows his stuff and is so knowledgeable about the principles of strength training and fitness. I see the changes in my body and I’m getting stronger every week and I’m feeling better! Not only are the other trainers (Steven and Caleb) just as knowledgeable but I can really see they enjoy helping others get fit. Just a positive, positive vibe at Foundation Fitness and the trainers are all serious about helping you make the best version of you! #1 personal trainers around!

Found this gem of a place from a Google search and I'm so glad that I did! My first thought when reading the Google reviews was "There are so many good ones, is it really that good??" I went in for a consultation to check it out and ended up signing up that day. I've been training with Steven in a small group format for about 5 weeks now and I can say that they do live up to their great reviews! The gym is small, but it has all that you need for your training sessions. I was coming off of a knee injury/exercise hiatus and was a bit nervous to get back into working out. Steven has been great in making sure the exercises are modified as needed. He is supportive, yet challenging and makes the sessions fun. I would recommend this place to anyone!

I. LOVE. THIS. GYM. If you’re thinking about starting (or re-starting) an exercise program, Foundation Fitness is *life-changing*. There is a reason why their reviews are extraordinary; no matter where you are in your fitness journey, no gym has more heart or cares more.I’ve struggled with diet and exercise my whole life; my weight has fluctuated an embarrassing amount. When I first joined, I got winded climbing a flight of stairs. I was so deeply unhappy, and so ashamed of my fitness level that the whole prospect of setting foot in a gym was intimidating. I hated the thought of joining one of those large chain-gyms; I knew I needed more accountability. But Foundation Fitness is a small, community-oriented fitness center with a SPECTACULAR, non-judgmental team that will push and inspire you. Each of their trainers offers their own arena of expertise – Collin is exceptional in mobility and functional fitness, Amber will give you the best HIIT workout of your life, Angelo builds award-winning power-lifters, and Steven is a *phenomenal* weight-lifting/body sculpting coach.Whenever I show up, I feel welcomed, seen, and encouraged. (It’s sort of like my inner high school nerd is hanging out with all the jocks, and they’re being really nice to me??) The environment is always fun, even during the most grueling workouts. Some days we’ll listen to 70s rock music, other times it might be DJ mixes or top hits. I’ve never met another gym-goer I didn’t like; everyone is great. The aspect I love the very most about this gym is that I see clients of every age, body type, race, ethnicity, and ability; Foundation Fitness doesn’t just preach community – they live it. Each of the trainers is friendly and fun, but also a consummate professional. The level of engagement and attentiveness I receive during my workouts is unsurpassed by any trainer I’ve ever had before, and I can see and feel the results. The trainers help build the foundation and give you the tools to continue your fitness outside of the gym. Nutrition coaching is included, as is an app you can link to MyFitnessPal, Apple Watch, Garmin, etc. I’ll add that I did some price shopping in the area before I joined Foundation Fitness, and I found their rates to be extremely competitive, if not better than most.In terms of the facility itself, it’s small – a couple of treadmills and other cardio machines, four separate rack stations, and all the standard training equipment (free weights, kettlebells, etc.). You’re expected to arrive early and do at least 30 minutes of warm-up and stretching before your session. There isn’t a locker room here (although there are bathrooms in the building), so this works best if you’re able to shower/change at home. Also, the gym is intended for group or one-on-one training sessions; while you can technically show up and do cardio on your own, this isn’t like standard gyms where you can just come and do weights whenever.If you’re even considering joining a gym or working with a trainer, you won’t find a better fit – I promise you. In about 3 months (with some hard work in and outside of the gym), I lost approx. 25 lbs and 10% of my body fat while building muscle. The compliments are nice, having clothes fit *so* much better is great, but nothing beats how I feel – happier, stronger, and hopeful. Joining Foundation Fitness is one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself – ever.

After researching gyms, I committed my health goals to FF-Annadale. I have no regrets! 2 months of training and a nutritional meal plan, and my results have been remarkable. Angelo and his team are experts in their field, and the experience I gained from them has been invaluable. Our Monday after-work sessions are my favorite time to enjoy community while working up a sweat. Other times, we are very focused. That said, it's so much more than a gym. I am confident I will reach my fitness goals and make great friendships along the way.

Absolutely phenomenal! Whether you're brand new to fitness, trying to get back in shape, or are already advanced, this is the place to train. I also know two people who joined this gym to prepare for their physical abilities test in law enforcement and both were successful. Angelo, Amber, and Steven at the Annandale location are excellent trainers. Highly recommend.

I have been training at Foundation Fitness with Collin as my trainer for four months now and have improved a lot already! I understand how to manage my nutrition and my strength has nearly doubled! The onboarding process was smooth and the other personnel are great as well. I am sad to say Ill be leaving the gym for a few months because of my work but would love to work with Collin in the future!

As a former college athlete, I’ve never felt satisfied with my experience at typical gym chains around here. I wanted a community feel with qualified coaches that could personalize my workouts and push me. I also have a connective tissue disorder and old injuries that can be difficult to accommodate. Angelo and Steven immediately made me feel like this was the place for me. You can choose 1:1 or small group sessions and your frequency. They paired me up with a small group of likeminded women 2x a week. Steven has done a great job of tailoring our workouts to our unique abilities and goals, and even though I’d rather rag on him than compliment him, he makes each session fun. 🙂 Each time I’m in the gym, there is a diverse group of individuals there, from first-timers to competitors, and all are friendly. I am happy to be a part of this community and look forward to going there each time.

The perfect balance! I always have a great time joking with the trainers and other clients, all the while getting in a hardcore workout. Steven, my trainer, is very knowledgeable, he always is prepared with a thorough workout, he shows the proper technique, and helps to guide my diet as well. When soreness or injury arise, he knows how to finesse certain movements so it doesn't hurt anymore or how to stretch out a particular sore muscle. I would highly recommend Foundation Fitness to anyone who wants to see results, have a good time, and be held accountable!

I started training with Steven three years ago and haven't looked back! His knowledge and ability to break down movement is unmatched. Not only have I changed myself physically, but I've gained so much from training. I'm more confident (which maybe the world didn't need) and it's all around been a wonderful addition to my life. For expert training and community, definitely check out FF in Annandale!

The team at Foundation Fitness Annandale is fabulous! Collin and Angelo make training fun and challenging at the same time. The atmosphere is friendly and non-intimidating. Over the last three years, the team has adjusted my training and personalized workouts to my style and goal. I am well on my way to my goals and I highly recommend this team!

I was hesitant on going…I felt like I would be embarrassed and laughed at for not being the strongest guy kind of thing. Angelo on the first day made me feel right in place from day one. I went from starting at light weight to heavy with his training methods in a heart beat. My muscles and body stopped aching and I felt 10 years younger. As I progressed through after a couple months, we got on a diet plan and I dropped 16 pounds in two months in the healthy way…still eating carbs and other items but in a healthier aspect. I then transitioned to working out 3 times a week and mixing in a HIT training style for a couple of those days a week with Caleb…I love it. I did CrossFit and this is in that same realm but more targeted to what you need or want to get better at. I wish I had these guys when I was younger…hard telling where I might actually be in my life with sports and other activities or less injuries. Highly recommend and to me…these guys are almost like I’m working out with best friends and makes it fun to go workout rather than the “gym” feeling of thinking you are out of place or not doing the right exercises alone.

Bottom Line: This place is amazing (especially if you're *not* a gym person) and well worth the investment.I've been at Foundation Fitness for three months now and can't imagine a better gym experience. As a work-at-home mom with two jobs and part-time homeschool mom of three young children, I give up my ONLY TWO FREE MORNINGS per week to be a FF and have zero regrets. They're two of my favorite mornings every week.After having my kids and developing an autoimmune disorder in the process, I spent a lot of time focusing on nutrition but just feeling totally lost when it came to exercise. Enter: Foundation Fitness. After a thorough intake, I was paired with my trainer - Collin - who is a perfect fit. He's always prepared for my workout, keeps track of my progress, teaches me how to lift safely, is encouraging without being weird, and doesn't make me feel like an idiot (a feeling I was quite accustomed to when at a gym...)Like Collin, the other trainers at the gym are friendly, knowledgeable, non-judgmental, encouraging, and flexible (I've even showed up with my 7 and 9 year old in tow and they rolled with it!). The gym is also spotlessly clean. In short - FF is wonderful!

I've trained at Foundation Fitness in Annandale for 9 months now. I signed on at the age of 49 because I wanted to begin my 50s stronger and healthier than I was in my 40s. My trainer Steven B did a thorough intake and made sure he understood my physical limitations and my goals to overcome and exceed them. In the 9 months I've trained with Steven I have seen real, life changing results. Physically I am much stronger than I was in my 40s and have a considerably better understanding of proper lifting technique. Steven has a tremendous amount of knowledge and he knows how to motivate without being overbearing. All the trainers here give their clients their undivided attention to make sure you are getting the max out of your time spent with them. If you've put on a bit (or in my case a lot) of weight during the COVID isolation that won't go away, come here and this team will get you back into fighting form. Highly recommended!

My Foundation Fitness experience has far exceeded my expectations! Some context... always athletic and active but major back surgery some years ago and recently turning 60 had taken a toll on my overall health and fitness... my daughter had trained at the Annandale gym before heading off to JMU this past fall and had great things to say about the FF Team, gym experience and Lisa, her trainer. Knowing I needed to change the trajectory of my health & fitness and with some trepidation, I scheduled a consultation and started my FF Training journey. The past 7 months has absolutely improved my health, fitness, and quality of life thanks the knowledge, experience, encouragement, and tuff love at the right times to push me beyond my doubts :)My gratitude to Lisa getting me started, Steven who's always pushing with a smile and making me better, and confidence and genuine passion of Angelo and Patrick for people. Thank you!Never too old or out of shape to start a good thing... My story 🙂

Foundation Fitness has been a great place to achieve my fitness goals. All of the trainers here are exceptional in their knowledge of nutrition and workout technique. My trainer, Steven, has helped me fix quite a few mistakes I've been making as a somewhat regular gym goer and my strength has been through the roof because of it. I am only a couple months in and can't wait to see what I can accomplish with their guidance by the end of it. - SLF

Cameron is an outstanding trainer with exceptional expertise and a genuine commitment to his clients’ well-being. He not only provides a strong foundation by thoroughly covering the basics, but also listens carefully to any concerns and thoughtfully adapts each workout to prevent injury.

My wife and I started training at Foundation Fitness in Ashburn about eight weeks ago. Our initial consultation and introduction was with Kevin and he is very professional, experienced, well informed and welcoming. Kasiah is our day to day coach and personal trainer. She is friendly, knowledgeable, reliable, punctual, supportive and always ready to start our training period on-time with a good pre-planned exercise routine. We are older adults and are very impressed with her caring and conscious effort to tailor our goals and exercise program accordingly with appropriate exercises, intensity, frequency, and duration. She well knows our capabilities and when to rest us or to push us just a little more. In just this short time we have noticed a definite improvement in our weight, muscle tone and posture. If you are looking for an excellent personal trainer experience, Foundation Fitness Ashburn is our recommendation.

4 months so far working with a trainer at this studio. I love it here. I'm new to working out and needed to learn the basics. This studio is non-intimidating. My trainer, Sean, has been great-- professional and encouraging. I'm getting stronger and actually find myself thinking about working out on off-days, which is new for me! Tracking in the app is really helpful to see progress. Don't hesitate to check them out!

Foundation Fitness has been a game changer for me! Over the past three years, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to work with Kevin, and I can’t say enough about the positive influence he’s had on my fitness journey. From day one, Kevin’s expertise and enthusiasm made me feel welcome and motivated. He truly pushes you while keeping it fun. His energy is contagious, and he has a unique ability to inspire confidence, even on days when I feel less than motivated. His guidance has helped me achieve results I never thought possible, and I've built a stronger mindset along the way.The community at Foundation Fitness is also fantastic. Everyone is supportive, creating an encouraging environment that makes each workout enjoyable. If you’re looking for a place to reach your fitness goals with an amazing trainer, look no further than Foundation Fitness. Thank you Kevin for being such a fantastic mentor and friend!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kasiah, and I can't recommend her highly enough! From our first session, her kindness and genuine support made me feel comfortable and motivated. Each workout is has a great balance between pushing my limits and ensuring I feel accomplished. Kasiah takes the time to understand my goals and adapts the workouts accordingly. Her positive attitude and encouragement us the best part of our workouts.

I started my journey at foundation fitness with Kasiah only few weeks ago but it has been the best decision I have ever made for myself. I have tried apps and classes at gyms before but the workout sessions with Kasiah has been a game changer for me. She is not only a great coach and works you to your max potential but she is also very kind and very knowledgeable about nutrition. I’m so excited for this journey and highly recommend her for anyone that is looking for an incredible personal trainer.

I’m adding to my previous review as I’m approaching my years end journey with Sean Cruz. He has been dedicated, flexible, supportive and essential in developing my desire for a thriving fitness excursion! Every week he introduces new challenges and is so motivating towards helping me achieve my goal of gaining more muscle mass! In addition, it’s a friendly environment where everyone greets me by name which is a great business model! Feeling welcomed and acknowledged is what keeps me coming back! In one year I have seen so much physical progress and endurance in my ability to reach my goals with Sean. He’s truly inspiring and fun to work with because he knows when to push you and when to encourage you to take a break from rigorous workouts. Plus, he’s personable, funny and friendly! If I could give more than five stars, i would for sure!!!! Kevin also offers nutrition advice and keeps everyone in a good mood with his effervescent personality! Kasiah is always the life of the party and gives me honest advice and guidance. Plus, her personality and demeanor are beyond enjoyable! If you are looking for a healthy lifestyle and to make any changes to your physical health and appearance, Foundation Fitness of Ashburn is the perfect place for you!Sean provides a thorough, intensive and specifically individualized approach for each of his clients. He explains the purpose of each exercise in relation to achieving your individual goals. The workouts are INTENSE in the long run, but he slowly builds up your confidence and stamina appropriately. I’ve been training with Sean for months and I look forward to training with him in a calm, friendly and nonjudgmental environment twice a week. I’ve seen visual improvements to my body and overall muscle strength. I’m more defined and I’m losing weight at a steady and healthy pace. At the beginning, I could only lift fifteen pound weights and now I can lift 40 pounds in addition to 100 POUND SQUATS!!! If you are looking for a dedicated and friendly trainer who displays the results you’d like to achieve…you can just turn to Sean. He’s also very flexible with his schedule if you need to switch times or days. He makes time for you and is always punctual. Highly recommended from a mother of three who wants to lose weight and increase muscle mass! Seriously, highly recommended! Joy S.

Kevin is an outstanding trainer with expert knowledge and understanding of strength training, physiology, neurology, and nutrition, tailoring your training program to accomodate your lifestyle and psychology. He takes the time to understand your goals, limitations and timeline so your specific needs are addressed. His approach is measured and paced to the individual. While having lived a life of fitness, in a very short period of time, Kevin has enabled me to produce physiological results (strength and muscle definition) that I never been able to achieve previously (either on my own or with other trainers). Not only has he transformed my physic, but he has educated me along the way to understand what and why I am performing specific exercises. When Kevin doesn't have the knowledge or experience, he researches the literature to gain the necessary knowledge. Kevin has my highest recommendation.

Along with some nutrition guidance, Maxine was able to help me lose 20 pounds of fat in 4 months! The workouts have consistently been challenging but fun, and I’m always looking forward to the next one!

If I could rate 5+ stars I would. I worked out with Kevin for a little under a year. My original plan was just 6 months, however with the knowledge and guidance Kevin was giving me, 6 months seemed too short. I started off as someone who had never weight trained and knew very minimal about form and how to lift weights. Kevin was always very patient with me, taught me proper form, and as a result he gave me confidence that I wouldn’t have had without Foundation Fitness. After moving and no longer in the Ashburn area, I feel confident about what I’m doing in the gym thanks to Kevin and will continue to use those skills for years and years to come!!

If you are serious about physical health, I recommend Sean and Foundation Fitness of Ashburn. I worked with Sean for six months and learned a lot. Trainers focus on overall fitness, not just lifting weights. They work with you on your diet, exercise, mobility, etc.Before joining Foundation Fitness, I used to work out five days a week, doing the push pull routines and I was getting mediocre results.After joining foundation fitness, I worked out 2-3 days a week and could see the results in just three months. We mainly focused on compound movements, and Sean monitored my diet (primarily carb and protein intakes). Sean educated me about concepts like one rep max and what to eat/when to eat.What I liked:- Professional and friendly staff- Flexible around your schedule- Great facility/equipment

Ive been working with Sean at this location for over a year. I can’t describe how thankful I am for his flexibility to work around my hectic work schedule and make time for me ALWAYS! On top of being a top notch fitness professional, I also love that he is willing to try new workout styles (i.e. we picked up boxing at the end of our sessions) to cater the workout to my wants and mood of the day! I swear it’s like he’s a mind reader and can tell what type of workout you truly exactly need that day! It took me several tries to find “the ONE” but Sean is it!!! :)I also enjoy the studio vibe at this location. The other trainers are just as amazing too and super friendly. It creates for such an inclusive, fun, and positive environment for all customers.

I have been working out at Foundation Fitness of Ashburn before it was Foundation Fitness! I currently work out with Kevin. He is a very attentive trainer. He pays attention to a client's training goals, physical condition and special needs (like injuries or weak body parts). I appreciate his knowledge of the human body and muscle system. He has helped me strengthen a gimpy shoulder and increase my strength at the same time. He is quite flexible in scheduling, which is important to me as I travel some for work. And he pays attention to my desire to train without other people in the gym because of the coronavirus. Kevin pays personal attention to the gym being clean and sanitized, which I appreciate. Overall, I highly recommend Foundation Fitness of Ashburn and Kevin.

I’ve been working with Kevin almost 6 months now and it’s been way better than expected! Short story: I work in the automotive field working on transmissions. The other day a customer of ours brought in his own transmission to drop off to us. Not abnormal BUT what was unusual is he had put it on the back seat of his car. Not an ideal situation for getting it out of the car since it’s awkwardly shaped and heavy. Normally we’d use two people to lift it up and out of a car, usually someone’s trunk of tailgate. Since it was in the back seat it’s hard to get two people to fit into the door. Well.... thanks to Kevin and his training..... I was able to lift the transmission out BY MYSELF and carry it over to the cart it needed to be placed on!! Thank you Kevin, I look forward to seeing what results continue to come from training with you!

Foundation Fitness of Ashburn is an amazing gym. Unlike the big chain gyms, the trainers are extremely knowledgeable and you can tell they really care about your health.

WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER

Been working with Amber for a few months. My doctor saw me when the wife was getting a checkup and went out of her way to mention how much better I'm looking these days. NGL, felt good to have the work recognized. Definitely recommend her to anyone who asks 👍👍👍

Couldn't say better things about my experience at Foundation Fitness and working with Mackenzie! I've always found exercising really difficult to stick with, but after 4 months of training here, I can honestly say that my sessions are something I look forward to.The gym itself is clean, well-equipped, and has a positive atmosphere. The trainers are all friendly and welcoming. Mackenzie is someone who both challenges you and listens to your concerns and never makes you feel guilty about falling off track for a bit. My sessions are always fun, even if the reps are hard.In my short time here, I definitely feel stronger than before. If you’re looking for a gym and trainer that will help you not just stick with it but truly enjoy the process, this is the place. Highly recommend!

I started my fitness journey with Foundation Fitness Annandale several months ago and I have to say they have shaped my view of fitness and wellness for the better as they have provided me with a roadmap that is proving to be effective and fun. My first point of contact was with Patrick and he was great: he was a genuine sample of the type of trainers that I have interacted with and seen on FF of Annandale. He was authentic and seemed to genuinely care for his team and for the people that visit the FF gyms. He walked me through the process, and took the time to understand what were my goals and obstacles in my fitness journey. He addressed all my concerns and worked towards finding an optimal schedule in order to help me meet my goals. Part of drafting a plan included finding a location that would adjust to my needs, Patrick suggested the Annandale location that is owned by Steven, and they appointed me to have Mackenzie as my trainer. Steven and Mackenzie are the best! As a first timer for getting training and going into a gym I felt intimidated, however they have made everything feel so easy and familiar, for example every time I walk in they make sure to joyfully greet me by name, also when I first joined they both proactively helped me to make sure I understood how to use the machines.Steven is friendly and keeps a fun environment at the gym: he always has great music and is encouraging fun interactions between the all the members of this community.In Steven’s gym everyone is respectful and friendly, and the trainers are the type of people that get along great and try to make a community out of it, for example, Mackenzie makes sure to introduce me to other folks making it feel like I’m part of a community.In terms of training with Mackenzie I have to say she is great so far! She has incredible memory and remembers small details from all of our conversations, she listens to my feedback/goals and tailors the sessions accordingly. She also has experience working in a Physical Therapy setting and frequently incorporates that into her sessions. She also provides valuable insights on muscle building, healthy habits, and things to do to improve my recovery. Mackenzie also makes the session fun and interactive! Mackenzie also keeps track of the program and the progress I am making: is not something random or spur of the moment but rather a methodical and thoughtful approach towards helping me achieve my goals.Here you will get not only fitness but a community and lots of laughs.

FOUNDATION FITNESS!!! I LOVE this place. I played sports growing up but was never someone who worked out on my own. Steven has helped me understand exercise techniques that I never could’ve figured out by myself. He knows exactly what I need to do to see improvement and isn’t afraid to challenge me. All the trainers are awesome. Amber and McKenzie are so knowledgeable and helpful. Even though they aren’t my trainers, they’re very engaging, fun to be around, supportive, and a part of my fitness journey. Steven has a great attitude and impeccable customer service. I’m glad I chose Foundation Fitness because I don’t think I’d be as committed to working out if I didn’t start here. A welcoming, challenging (but not in a scary way), fun, focused, and collaborative environment have been key to my success so far. Whether you’re an exercise newbie or serious bodybuilder these capable trainers will help you achieve your goals and set new ones. All the clients I’ve met are really great people. Lastly, an honorable mention to Angelo (now at a different location): he’s a great trainer, kind person, very knowledgeable, and has a good energy. COME TRY FOUNDATION FITNESS!!!

Foundation Fitness of Annandale is a great place to get in shape. The personal trainers are knowledgeable, personal, and communicative. The facility is clean and has all the equipment you need. The personal trainers design the workouts specifically for you, and carefully monitor your progress. I had surgery on my neck in connection with neck and throat cancer. Steven has designed exercises to help me regain mobility and strength in my neck and right shoulder, as well as rebuild muscle I lost during chemotherapy and radiation treatments. My only regret is that I did not start with Foundation Fitness sooner.The collegial environment makes the workouts enjoyable. Each personal trainer is willing to pitch in and help if needed. They all take an interest in your training and progress.I must give credit to my wife who found Foundation Fitness through a diligent Internet search. The positive reviews are well deserved.I recommend Foundation Fitness of Annandale. They will "pump you up"!

I’ve been working with Mackenzie at Foundation Fitness for a few months. She’s been nothing short of incredible. She’s very knowledgeable and created a sustainable program that works for me. The program is tailored to my goals, personality, lifestyle, etc. I’m so happy I made the decision to go to Foundation Fitness.

Training with Mackenzie has been an amazing experience! She takes the time to understand my goals, my strengths, and even the little details about how my body responds differently to different exercises. Every session feels completely tailored to me—not just a generic workout plan, but something designed to help me progress in a way that feels right for my body. I’ve seen noticeable results and feel stronger than ever! I've also worked with Stephen and Patrick, and they are top-notch trainers too—the team at Foundation Fitness is fantastic! I can’t recommend them enough!

I recently started personal training at Foundation Fitness and I couldn't be happier with the results. The trainers are knowledgeable, friendly, and truly dedicated to helping me reach my fitness goals. From creating personalized workout plans to providing motivation and support during each session, they have been instrumental in pushing me to new levels of strength and endurance.The gym itself is clean, well-equipped, and offers a wide range of classes and workout options to suit every fitness level. The atmosphere is welcoming and inclusive, making it easy to feel comfortable and motivated during each workout.Overall, I highly recommend personal training at this gym to anyone looking to improve their fitness and overall health. The combination of expert guidance, accountability, and a supportive community has made a huge difference in my journey towards a healthier lifestyle.

When i started looking for gyms to help me get back in shape i had a lot of false starts. But as soon as I walked in the door at Foundation Fitness I could tell something was different. The vibe was great, there were people of all sizes, ages, abilities, genders and races. Everyone I met was super welcoming, and that feeling continues every time I walk through the door to train. And the trainers are exceptional. They work with you, knowing when to push and when to be supportive. My trainer is Amber and I couldn't be happier with her. She pays close attention and learns your abilities, knowing just when to get you to level up or when you might need a mod. I always feel supported working out there, both from Amber and the people i train with. You won't find a better place to get strong and meet your Fitness goals!

After various false starts in my diet and weight loss journey, I decided it was time to get serious. I went an interview at multiple gyms, and committed to Foundation Fitness Annandale. I joined the small group training and it has been nothing short of life-changing. I mainly train with Collin and Angelo, but all the trainers have been friendly, knowledgeable and encouraging.The small group training has been perfect for me having a small group encourages and challenges me to do my best each session. I’ve been with FF-Annandale for just short of 3 months and have lost over 20 pounds, while gaining strength and mobility. If you take advantage, they have a great app that pairs with Apple Health and myFitnessPal.I enjoy coming to each session and look forward to being challenged. Can’t thank the Foundation Fitness team enough and will update as I continue to progress.

I’ve been training with Steven since May 2024. He’s helped me get back on track with my health in every way that I could not have imagined. His aim is not to make me a gym rat, but improving my mobility to help me get back to a higher quality living. I truly appreciate his flexibility, his honesty, and check ins to keep me motivated every time we train. I’m pumped for the work to come as we continue building towards my goals.

I began my journey with Foundation Fitness in the fall of 2023. I started at 285 lbs and with low endurance levels. Even with foot surgery in November and limited mobility for a month, the team worked with me on a regimen that would keep my progress moving forward. Here I am almost a year later, and I have not felt better in years. I am down 40 pounds and my endurance level has improved substantially. I am 65 years old. Collin Scheidt is one of the best trainers I have had the pleasure of working with. He forms each program to meet my needs and capabilities, yet continues to push me to exceed the plan. He motivates and encourages, while keeping a sense of humor, and focuses on doing routines that address multiple muscle groups at one time. It is amazing what a knowledgeable and thoughtful trainer can help you accomplish.If you want to succeed, Collin is you man!!

I have been training at the Foundation Fitness gym in Ashburn for years--even before it was Foundation Fitness. I have had a few FF trainers over the years, including Kevin Wickline and Kasiah Meyers. I have been very happy with both Kevin and Kasiah. Both pay a lot of attention to how you are feeling on the days you train and accommodate your training to any issues you are having that day. Both also pay attention to the progress you are making in your training--amount of weight you can lift, reps, etc. I train mostly now with Kasiah. She is very careful to discuss my goals with me and to structure my workouts to achieve my goals. I train with her 3 days a week, and she makes sure to vary my workout by days so I am not overly working any one set of muscles. She encourages me to push myself, and is a cheerleader when I achieve new levels. She is always studying weight training, anatomy, motivation, etc. and applying what she learns to her training practices. Plus she is very nice and I enjoy working with her. I would highly recommend Foundation Fitness in Ashburn, and Kasiah. (And Kevin also, of course!)

Amber is an excellent trainer, consistently good about adapting workouts not only to overall personal goals but also to however I may be feeling on a specific day. She us personable, professional, and adds a lot of value to the team of trainers. All of the trainers male a great, friendly, supportive community and contribute to a positive atmosphere for every client in the gym.

I started training with Amber a year ago. She kicks my butt!!! in a good way 🙂 With her help I have seen tremendous gains in my strength, endurance, and overall fitness. I need the accountability a trainer offers, and Amber gives me just that. I benefit from her many years of experience, professionalism, kindness, and sense of humor. Foundation Fitness and the team of trainers welcomed me from day one, and create a small, non-judgemental environment for all.

My original post from a year ago is below. I want to send an update May 2024. I'm still a member with Foundation Fitness and I'm training with Amber now. I started with Angelo who got me started, but it's with Amber that I've made fitness part of my life. If you want the personal attention with trainers who are knowledgeable and passionate, then I can't say enough about Foundation Fitness. 5 plus stars!!!!!I joined Foundation Fitness of Annandale in November 2022 and am still going strong! I am more than happy with the personal training I receive. My trainer (Angelo) is passionate about his job. His enthusiasm is a great motivator—it’s exactly what you need to push yourself. If you want to reach your goals and make changes to strengthen your body, I can’t say enough great things about Angelo. He will help you get the job done! He clearly knows his stuff and is so knowledgeable about the principles of strength training and fitness. I see the changes in my body and I’m getting stronger every week and I’m feeling better! Not only are the other trainers (Steven and Caleb) just as knowledgeable but I can really see they enjoy helping others get fit. Just a positive, positive vibe at Foundation Fitness and the trainers are all serious about helping you make the best version of you! #1 personal trainers around!

Found this gem of a place from a Google search and I'm so glad that I did! My first thought when reading the Google reviews was "There are so many good ones, is it really that good??" I went in for a consultation to check it out and ended up signing up that day. I've been training with Steven in a small group format for about 5 weeks now and I can say that they do live up to their great reviews! The gym is small, but it has all that you need for your training sessions. I was coming off of a knee injury/exercise hiatus and was a bit nervous to get back into working out. Steven has been great in making sure the exercises are modified as needed. He is supportive, yet challenging and makes the sessions fun. I would recommend this place to anyone!

I. LOVE. THIS. GYM. If you’re thinking about starting (or re-starting) an exercise program, Foundation Fitness is *life-changing*. There is a reason why their reviews are extraordinary; no matter where you are in your fitness journey, no gym has more heart or cares more.I’ve struggled with diet and exercise my whole life; my weight has fluctuated an embarrassing amount. When I first joined, I got winded climbing a flight of stairs. I was so deeply unhappy, and so ashamed of my fitness level that the whole prospect of setting foot in a gym was intimidating. I hated the thought of joining one of those large chain-gyms; I knew I needed more accountability. But Foundation Fitness is a small, community-oriented fitness center with a SPECTACULAR, non-judgmental team that will push and inspire you. Each of their trainers offers their own arena of expertise – Collin is exceptional in mobility and functional fitness, Amber will give you the best HIIT workout of your life, Angelo builds award-winning power-lifters, and Steven is a *phenomenal* weight-lifting/body sculpting coach.Whenever I show up, I feel welcomed, seen, and encouraged. (It’s sort of like my inner high school nerd is hanging out with all the jocks, and they’re being really nice to me??) The environment is always fun, even during the most grueling workouts. Some days we’ll listen to 70s rock music, other times it might be DJ mixes or top hits. I’ve never met another gym-goer I didn’t like; everyone is great. The aspect I love the very most about this gym is that I see clients of every age, body type, race, ethnicity, and ability; Foundation Fitness doesn’t just preach community – they live it. Each of the trainers is friendly and fun, but also a consummate professional. The level of engagement and attentiveness I receive during my workouts is unsurpassed by any trainer I’ve ever had before, and I can see and feel the results. The trainers help build the foundation and give you the tools to continue your fitness outside of the gym. Nutrition coaching is included, as is an app you can link to MyFitnessPal, Apple Watch, Garmin, etc. I’ll add that I did some price shopping in the area before I joined Foundation Fitness, and I found their rates to be extremely competitive, if not better than most.In terms of the facility itself, it’s small – a couple of treadmills and other cardio machines, four separate rack stations, and all the standard training equipment (free weights, kettlebells, etc.). You’re expected to arrive early and do at least 30 minutes of warm-up and stretching before your session. There isn’t a locker room here (although there are bathrooms in the building), so this works best if you’re able to shower/change at home. Also, the gym is intended for group or one-on-one training sessions; while you can technically show up and do cardio on your own, this isn’t like standard gyms where you can just come and do weights whenever.If you’re even considering joining a gym or working with a trainer, you won’t find a better fit – I promise you. In about 3 months (with some hard work in and outside of the gym), I lost approx. 25 lbs and 10% of my body fat while building muscle. The compliments are nice, having clothes fit *so* much better is great, but nothing beats how I feel – happier, stronger, and hopeful. Joining Foundation Fitness is one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself – ever.

After researching gyms, I committed my health goals to FF-Annadale. I have no regrets! 2 months of training and a nutritional meal plan, and my results have been remarkable. Angelo and his team are experts in their field, and the experience I gained from them has been invaluable. Our Monday after-work sessions are my favorite time to enjoy community while working up a sweat. Other times, we are very focused. That said, it's so much more than a gym. I am confident I will reach my fitness goals and make great friendships along the way.

Absolutely phenomenal! Whether you're brand new to fitness, trying to get back in shape, or are already advanced, this is the place to train. I also know two people who joined this gym to prepare for their physical abilities test in law enforcement and both were successful. Angelo, Amber, and Steven at the Annandale location are excellent trainers. Highly recommend.

The onboarding process was smooth and the other personnel are great as well. I am sad to say Ill be leaving the gym for a few months because of my work but would love to work with Collin in the future!

As a former college athlete, I’ve never felt satisfied with my experience at typical gym chains around here. I wanted a community feel with qualified coaches that could personalize my workouts and push me. I also have a connective tissue disorder and old injuries that can be difficult to accommodate. Angelo and Steven immediately made me feel like this was the place for me. You can choose 1:1 or small group sessions and your frequency. They paired me up with a small group of likeminded women 2x a week. Steven has done a great job of tailoring our workouts to our unique abilities and goals, and even though I’d rather rag on him than compliment him, he makes each session fun. 🙂 Each time I’m in the gym, there is a diverse group of individuals there, from first-timers to competitors, and all are friendly. I am happy to be a part of this community and look forward to going there each time.

The perfect balance! I always have a great time joking with the trainers and other clients, all the while getting in a hardcore workout. Steven, my trainer, is very knowledgeable, he always is prepared with a thorough workout, he shows the proper technique, and helps to guide my diet as well. When soreness or injury arise, he knows how to finesse certain movements so it doesn't hurt anymore or how to stretch out a particular sore muscle. I would highly recommend Foundation Fitness to anyone who wants to see results, have a good time, and be held accountable!

I started training with Steven three years ago and haven't looked back! His knowledge and ability to break down movement is unmatched. Not only have I changed myself physically, but I've gained so much from training. I'm more confident (which maybe the world didn't need) and it's all around been a wonderful addition to my life. For expert training and community, definitely check out FF in Annandale!

I was hesitant on going…I felt like I would be embarrassed and laughed at for not being the strongest guy kind of thing. Angelo on the first day made me feel right in place from day one. I went from starting at light weight to heavy with his training methods in a heart beat. My muscles and body stopped aching and I felt 10 years younger. As I progressed through after a couple months, we got on a diet plan and I dropped 16 pounds in two months in the healthy way…still eating carbs and other items but in a healthier aspect. I then transitioned to working out 3 times a week and mixing in a HIT training style for a couple of those days a week with Caleb…I love it. I did CrossFit and this is in that same realm but more targeted to what you need or want to get better at. I wish I had these guys when I was younger…hard telling where I might actually be in my life with sports and other activities or less injuries. Highly recommend and to me…these guys are almost like I’m working out with best friends and makes it fun to go workout rather than the “gym” feeling of thinking you are out of place or not doing the right exercises alone.

Bottom Line: This place is amazing (especially if you're *not* a gym person) and well worth the investment.I've been at Foundation Fitness for three months now and can't imagine a better gym experience. As a work-at-home mom with two jobs and part-time homeschool mom of three young children, I give up my ONLY TWO FREE MORNINGS per week to be a FF and have zero regrets. They're two of my favorite mornings every week.After having my kids and developing an autoimmune disorder in the process, I spent a lot of time focusing on nutrition but just feeling totally lost when it came to exercise. Enter: Foundation Fitness. After a thorough intake, I was paired with my trainer - Collin - who is a perfect fit. He's always prepared for my workout, keeps track of my progress, teaches me how to lift safely, is encouraging without being weird, and doesn't make me feel like an idiot (a feeling I was quite accustomed to when at a gym...)Like Collin, the other trainers at the gym are friendly, knowledgeable, non-judgmental, encouraging, and flexible (I've even showed up with my 7 and 9 year old in tow and they rolled with it!). The gym is also spotlessly clean. In short - FF is wonderful!

I've trained at Foundation Fitness in Annandale for 9 months now. I signed on at the age of 49 because I wanted to begin my 50s stronger and healthier than I was in my 40s. My trainer Steven B did a thorough intake and made sure he understood my physical limitations and my goals to overcome and exceed them. In the 9 months I've trained with Steven I have seen real, life changing results. Physically I am much stronger than I was in my 40s and have a considerably better understanding of proper lifting technique. Steven has a tremendous amount of knowledge and he knows how to motivate without being overbearing. All the trainers here give their clients their undivided attention to make sure you are getting the max out of your time spent with them. If you've put on a bit (or in my case a lot) of weight during the COVID isolation that won't go away, come here and this team will get you back into fighting form. Highly recommended!

My Foundation Fitness experience has far exceeded my expectations! Some context... always athletic and active but major back surgery some years ago and recently turning 60 had taken a toll on my overall health and fitness... my daughter had trained at the Annandale gym before heading off to JMU this past fall and had great things to say about the FF Team, gym experience and Lisa, her trainer. Knowing I needed to change the trajectory of my health & fitness and with some trepidation, I scheduled a consultation and started my FF Training journey. The past 7 months has absolutely improved my health, fitness, and quality of life thanks the knowledge, experience, encouragement, and tuff love at the right times to push me beyond my doubts :)My gratitude to Lisa getting me started, Steven who's always pushing with a smile and making me better, and confidence and genuine passion of Angelo and Patrick for people. Thank you!Never too old or out of shape to start a good thing... My story 🙂

Foundation Fitness has been a great place to achieve my fitness goals. All of the trainers here are exceptional in their knowledge of nutrition and workout technique. My trainer, Steven, has helped me fix quite a few mistakes I've been making as a somewhat regular gym goer and my strength has been through the roof because of it. I am only a couple months in and can't wait to see what I can accomplish with their guidance by the end of it. - SLF
