Before…read morestarting to work out at this fitness studio, you are required to complete a movement assessment and evaluation where Immie and Greg can see where you are starting from, access any limitations and deficiencies and plan how to correct the deficiencies and overcome any limitations. While I was enrolled in Small Group Training, my experience was more like working with a Personal Trainer. From TRX, to Weight LIfting, to Kettlebells and Medicine Balls and a myriad of different training modalities, you were sure to get Strong and Fit at Exsurgo. Immie Cross, an Elite Spartan Racer, a Les Mills International Trainer and Instructor, is such a caring and compassionate trainer. Whether you want to train for an Obstacle Course Race, or just improve your overall health, this is a great place to train with personalized attention that you cannot get at every gym. The community built there is so welcoming and supportive!

She started working with Greg in late fall, and in the few months since she's been training with him, her entire brain space and outlook, as well as her athletic capability, has changed. She's faster, she's stronger, and she's able to do things better than she could before she hurt herself. She feels capable and confident in her sport now. Greg treats her with respect, and courtesy, while not letting her slack off. He's not only trained her, he's taught her HOW to train. How to lift, how to move, how to recover. The foundation my kid now has is incomparable, and her outlook on herself has improved, thanks to Greg.

I definitely found all that and more once I began working with Clarissa. I was also inspired to complete her phenomenal Pre- & Postnatal Pilates Certification Program which really exceeded my expectations. Anyone looking for a Pilates instructor who is passionate about Pilates, truly knowledgeable about Pilates, personable and a joy to work with, definitely book a session with Clarissa or complete her certification programs ASAP. You won't be disappointed.

I have worked with a handful of different trainers over the past year and have found a "keeper" in the Bounce Fitness team. They are knowledgeable, reliable, encouraging, motivating... and so much more! And, you get fantastic and consistent fitness and WEIGHT LOSS results. Jon is not only professional, incredibly knowledgeable (about exercises, movement, anatomy, fitness, etc) but he also has an incredible energy and spirit that could motivate a dog to do a burpee. His workouts are intense and hardcore, yet he recognizes his client's limits and tailors the workout to their needs and capabilities. In addition, his workouts are filled with a variety of exercises to keep you engaged- the session never feels like its "inchworming" by. Christina has transformed healthy eating and drinking into something habitual and doable. She holds your hand through the stress of dieting and makes sure you're on track with regular emails/texts and monitoring your food journal. Her ability to address her client's nutritional needs and recommend healthy recipes is unparalleled. And, her wellness sessions keep you "in-check" and encouraged. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I signed up for a package deal in late 2015 which had a combination of personal training sessions…read moreand monthly wellness advising sessions. Wellness Advising - 1 STAR - I had multiple changes in wellness advisors, even on a monthly basis (these sessions are only done once a month) due to turnover at the company. There was a gap between wellness advisors without a re-assignment. Furthermore, lack of transition between wellness advisors regarding my past records, discussions, and calendar availability - Measurements not necessarily aligned with my stated fitness goals resulting in poor progress tracking, in addition to lack of consistency in what wellness advisors measure. I do not have a reliable month-to-month comparison of my results. - Very frustrating experience overall. I cancelled my remaining wellness sessions by converting them into personal training sessions Personal Training - 3/4 STAR - The initial workout program I started was not fully aligned with my stated fitness goals during the consultation. For this reason, my results did not meet expectations based on training 2x per week with Bounce Fitness and 1-2x per week on my own. - The program was adjusted when I voiced my concerns with Bary approximately 2-3 months into the program. I started seeing results 1-2 months after the adjustment. - The trainers themselves are great - Colin and Alireza (Ali). They have strong backgrounds and are committed to helping clients reach their fitness goals. Overall, I feel that I wasted the initial 3 months following a program that was not tailored to my stated fitness goals. Most clients have weight loss targets, whereas my goal was to gain lean muscle mass, and my program was not tailored accordingly from the start. I was already in good physical shape such that I did not need a long ramp-up period to learn exercises and increase my stamina. This combined with the ineffectiveness of the wellness sessions leads me to not be a repeat customer after my few remaining sessions are completed. I have discussed all the above with Bounce Fitness and understand that the issues are being addressed. I hope that future customers are able to have a better experience as a result of the changes implemented to the programs.

What an enlightening Intro 101 class with Robin at Vida Pilates - Reston!…read more I've always struggled with roll up at mat Pilates and taking this class really pinged ah ha moments! Robin thoroughly went through each part of the Reformer including the Tower and Chair. She showed the "works" a Reformer with Trapeze Tower. Robin executed the perfect INTRO Pilates class. From toes, arches, heels, legs to quads, core, shoulders, head, breathwork, jumps on a jump board, balancing on the Reformer Box, twists and stretches were practiced all while watching the sunrise. The studio is warm and inviting, equipped with 8-9 Reformers, floor to ceiling glass windows on one side and located on the 2nd floor inside VIDA Reston. Classes are available to book as a member or non-member AND via classpass. I look forward to build my core and foundation through classic Pilates at VIDA Pilates. * Sign up for a free Intro 101 here: https://vidapilates.com/ or download the VIDA Pilates app.

If you are a Vida member - highly recommend Robin's Mat class (best playlist).

I highly recommend her for pilates, melt method and physical therapy sessions. If you spend a lot of time on your computer, hire her to teach you melt method exercises for your hands and feet. Then you'll have a small, portable melt kit for business and leisure trips to make your trip more enjoyable as melt method loosens up your muscles and might even help you sleep better. Maria has an online scheduler, too, so your appointment dates and times are easy to reschedule when that kid or friend needs help as long as you cancel 24 hours in advance. She makes it convenient for you to keep your appointments and to meet your fitness goals.

I've crossfitted and I've Olympic weighlifted, then fell off due to health issues. When I was semi…read moreready to get back in the gym, I was recommended Treaufitness. Turns out Frank is an International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness (IFBB) pro who trains competitive bodybuilders, but he's also a (regular) fitness trainer (what I need!) and nutritional coach (which I needed because said health changes required dietary changes... #thanksthiroid). I'm not trying to get onstage! But I am trying to be the best & strongest version of myself at this new stage in my life, and Frank has been tremendous in helping me set realistic goals, while putting the fire to my feet to help me achieve them. Sometimes I think he cares more about my goals than me, and it's that passion to help change not just folsk bodies, but they're lifestyle in such a positive and healthy waythat attracted me to this program. I'm not new to this, but the difference between my previous training and Treaufitness is he trains online, in person one-on-one, and/or in small groups, and is affiliated with several gyms, so the accessibility is phenomenal. Frank goes over your health concerns and issues alongside your dietary needs in detail so that he can build a successful nutrition and macro plan specific to you and your goals. Whether in person, or online, you have to check in once a week so that your progress can be appropriately assessed, and so that you can be held accountable (yeah, I needed this part! and I know a lot of people out there are the same). ... And for those of you familiar with (and liked) there crossfit & oly community, Treaufitness gives you that same 'a-famiky-that-grinds-together' vibe. Prices are fair but premium, and his results are undeniable as long as you are committed to the program and committed to yourself (and consistent!). I would most definitely recommend Treaufitness for both casual (pretend) athletes like myself, people rehabbing or just getting into fitness and still need professional instructions to movements, or folks that are looking to get on stage for physique competition.

I began training with Frank in September of this year after a friend of mine referred me. I had…read morelost a lot of weight in 2017, gained it all back and was discourage and unmotivated. I knew I had to make a lifestyle change and that started with finding a personal trainer. I was seeking a trainer who was experienced, could help me lose weight ( and keep the weight off), hold me accountable and provide me with the knowledge ( use of machines/weights, nutritional etc). Coach Frank has provided all of that and more! He is always available to answer questions, consistently provides direction and encouragement. He trains other individuals who compete ( and won top titles) or wish to compete. And for me, working out with them only encourages me to push even harder. Between having Frank and the team as support, I definitely feel unstoppable. If you are looking to get back on track, lose weight, tone it up and/or compete, Coach Frank is the truth and you will not be disappointed. Glad to be on the team and look forward to seeing my changes over the next upcoming months!
