Repke Fitness has changed my life in a deeply positive way. Louben, Sara, Darius and Noah care…read moreimmensely and are extremely skilled, experienced, and knowledgeable professionals, who understand both personal training and physichal therapy at the same time. They know how to do it right, and the team at Repke build personal relationships and foster a positive, connected, and effective personal training family that I look forward to participating in each training day. Before Repke, I was unable to find a fit after trying many trainers and was convinced I just needed to be a "do it myself" guy. Every trainer was too pushy, too cocky, or too unsafe. Repke is different and better. In addition to fostering a connected and energetic community, Louben requires that his team of trainers develop deep physichal therapy medical knowledge, and know how to do advanced muscle balance and be deeply attuned to form and all muscle groups. They build individualized relationships and customized plans for each person, and adjust those plans to your growth and changes over time and day-to-day needs. If you are actively doing something wrong, they step in with care and coach, correting, teaching, and guiding. They meet you where you are at, targeting exercises that hit your needs at your level of fitness, but not pushing you into what you can't yet handle, unlike others. Before Repke when I lacked guidance, I overtrained my upper-body "push" muscles as so many guys do, and between that and bad desk work posture, I developed very tight upper chest and upper cross syndrome. I couldn't reach and touch much of my back, and needed physichal therapy for immobility. With the Repke team, I've developed a personalized plan to undo that tightness and balance push and pull. I can discuss with them feedback from my physical therapist (who they knew because two of them had worked with her in physichal therapy before!!), and they immediately know what small muscle groups to train in addition to large ones and the best and medically most effective *and* safe exercises to use, and how to truly *teach* and *coach* the form to make those exercises work. This has magnified the effectiveness of my ongoing physichal therapy and I feel like I have a comprehensive, personalized, fully invested team. As a former teacher and coach, game recognizes game. I know of nowhere else I could work with a trained Muay Thai coach and fighter who is also a skilled, physichal therapy medical professional (Darius, you are the best!). I intend to be a member of the Repke community for my lifetime, and I highly recommend you join, too. Repke Fitness is for anyone looking for caring trainers who know what they're doing, and who want to make sure they are doing it *right* and are looking to join a community working to live healthy together.

I'm a physical therapist and when I was looking for a great place to send my parents (85 and 89…read moreyears old) for a safe but appropriately rigorous training program, I was delighted to discover Repke Fitness. My parents have been training with Louben and his team for over two months now and I'm seeing very promising results in balance, strength and functionality. I am very pleased with their progress, (given their advanced age), and the fact that Repke Fitness has helped them accomplish that safely. The biggest success in my mind occurred just yesterday, when my mother (85), caught her foot and tripped in an unavoidable fall, and then immediately said "No worries--I've been practicing getting up from the ground", then she proceeded to do just that! I know for a fact that she did not have that skill in August when she started working out there.

I am 55 years old, 6'1", 182 lbs and used to workout like 20 years ago, then drifted off track for a long time. Here's are the results that have happened since signing up: 1. Wife said, "Hey, your butt was disappearing, but now it is coming back!" 2. I am filling out my shirts and shorts again. 3. I have more energy. 4. ALL physical activities are better. 5. I am watching what I eat a little more consciously. 6. I stopped making excuses for not working out and now somehow I have the time to do it. 7. I found out that, by myself my workouts were lazy and I did not push myself, but with an instructor-led small group and professional program, I complete the workout and push myself. Other thoughts: 1. The trainers at Forever Strong are helpful, kind, motivating and experts at the techniques. 2. The unique program combines weight training, core strengthening, and cardio all in about 45-50 minutes. It is a well rounded approach and great experience. 3. The program changes every 9 weeks entirely and each workout during a given week rotates among 4 different themes/variances to keep it interesting and balanced. 5. Since I am actually using what I am paying for, it is a fair value and exceptionally high return on investment for the monthly price. 6. Their web-driven scheduling system allows me to reserve my space in the session that best fits my weekday and time. 7. Forever Strong sends out helpful video emails with new techniques and exercises. I highly recommend Forever Strong for people who are committed to getting stronger, feeling more powerful, and taking their fitness to the next level.

While this Planet Fitness is a bit smaller than some of the other Planet Fitnesses that I have visited in Maryland, it has everything that one would need. Then again, I only used the treadmill and stretching area during my visit. So, in a way, this location did have everything that I needed. ;) I thought the gym was pretty clean and had a nice layout. Unlike many Planet Fitnesses in my area, the locker room was pretty well-maintained, but I wish that it was not so dark. But, you cannot win them all. Unfortunately, this Planet Fitness does not provide soap for the showers, so I'm glad that I brought my own. All in all, I have no problem returning to this Planet Fitness for my Ft. Meade excursions.

PLEASE READ: Let me first off by saying this establishment assist you with meeting your fitness…read moregoals but you must do the work yourself outside of going there and working out for 30 minutes. My trainer was very good but changed my schedule once I decided to go down in my package from three days to four days. He wanted me to come in earlier which really wasn't conducive for my work schedule. Which leads me to say this establishment Elite Technique is more so money driven then client centric. With this experience I decided to take some time off on my fitness journey because it seemed as if the package I selected was more important than the client as i do understand your trainer wants you to obtain results, one's finances comes first. After some months, I decided to begin my fitness journey again with another organization EVOL which is one of their competitors to my knowledge. Rightfully so their prices are drastically different. I decided that I wanted to receive my initial photos that my trainer at Elite Technique took back when I started my fitness journey. I reached out to my trainer because i still has his contact information, wished him happy holidays and requested my photos that we took in late February/ early March. Unfortunately, I didn't receive a message back from him. To take it up a level, I out to the business manager via text and surprisingly I didn't hear back from him. Then I decided to try giving this establishment a call. The business manager answered and told me that he would put in a request for those photos from my trainer. A day later, he tells me that the photos are no longer available. Not surprising at all because I have heard from other clients that this is how this organization operates. It is astonishing to me that an organization such as this one would not have a timeframe where photos are retained for their previous customers. My advice to you would be to get your photos when they are initially taken by your trainer because if you decide to stop going and go somewhere else, the likely hood of you receiving the photos are very slim. This is unfortunate as the services they provide is something that you have paid for and should receive regardless of what you decide to do. All in all, I believe this organization needs to work on being more client centric. Please do your research because there are other organizations out there where you will obtain the same results at a more reasonable price.

Staff is almost never at the desk or on the floor and several times they have been sleeping in the office- so you wait or you go workout. Occasionally they spring from the office and check your credentials like you stole something. This could be remedied with a card or better way to scan in. Terrible interaction with the staff today.

She was friendly and answered questions I had. -Sara was the instructor and great in explaining the class structure and reviewing proper form. Throughout the class she corrected my form which I appreciated so that I didn't get injured. Overall impressions: I thought the class was going to be a breeze but I was mistaken. My arms and legs were shaking and my muscles were twitching. I had to take frequent breaks and I ended up losing the ball and band for most of the class. As Sara said maintaining the proper form was most important. Who knew all the small movements could work all your muscles. Although I enjoyed the class, I prefer a gym that offers more variety of cardio and strength training classes. I don't think this gym fits with what I am looking for, but I enjoyed the opportunity to try something new.

My buddy did a trial in here because he and I had the same interest in checking out the gym where the former OneFC fighter, Kevin Chung would teach. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend, but my buddy attended here and was surprised at the guy's attitude. My buddy used to train at the gym (left there years ago but cross train every now and then) where Kevin got fired from (without pay or notice or something unfair like that). Then, when he tried to check out the gym, Kevin wouldn't even let him train at first, because my friend used to train at the place where he got fired from (he probably thought that he was a spy or something ridiculous). Kevin's own defense, according to my friend, was, "Hey, I know you. You train at that gym (where he got fired from) and under him (the previous gym owner), right? Well, you can't train here. I don't like him; he's a greedy, fake pastor and a business owner. You aren't allowed to cross train here." On top of this, Kevin would say stuff like, "You move well and you are very technical. You should come in again and I want you to fight one of our guys. He's a good size for you." I heard many positive things about Kevin, which was the main reason why we both had an interest in swinging by here. But, I didn't expect him to be this rude to anyone, especially someone as nice as my friend who would never go into someone else's gym to either spy or disrespect the very gym owner. After this initial visit (this was like a year or so ago), my buddy stopped going there because he didn't want to fight anyone in the gym, and when he told me this very incident, I wanted to share how you shouldn't judge the book by its cover. Kevin, from what I've heard (from my buddy and other friends) and seen (via IG and/or FB public posts), seem to be very technical and a decent coach. However, when it comes to his personality, you'll be super surprised how arrogant and egotistical this guy can be. The gym doesn't even offer full-MMA program (there's no grappling and there's no 'mma' team practice), and for him to behave like he's the best thing the world can offer makes you just wanna pray for apocalypse now. Yes, he's a decent coach, but at that point, it doesn't even matter how good your coaching skills are or how good your fighter resume is. It's truly unfortunate, but that type of mentality would only lead you to burn multiple bridges. I personally recommend The Old Boy to seriously start reading books, like "Ego is the Enemy," "The Obstacle is the Way," and "The Tribe." If you simply want to enjoy your martial arts journey, I highly recommend you to go somewhere else.
