I am SO excited to share my experience with Absway Fitness. I've been on a long fitness journey for…read moremany years since college trying different diets and fitness approaches. I had my best success with the help of a $$$ trainer in 2013 (200 down to 158 over a year before my wedding). Ten years and four kids later, I'd been working steadily to lose with diet only, but kept plateauing around 170. I avoided gyms and trainers because of the cost, but then a former trainer reached out with an offer I couldn't refuse. Less than $100 for a month-long fitness challenge that included his on-call support (phone and text), exercises that fit in my schedule anytime and required minimal equipment (mat, roller, bands), optional nutritional guidance, and a weekly live group training session using inexpensive equipment I already had in my house. What a deal!! The Absway Challenge really helped me hone in on my goal by adding in an easy-to-follow daily exercise regimen that included cardio and weight bearing exercises that boosted my weight loss over the month and toned me all over. In conjunction with the Dukan diet I was already following, the Absway approach helped me lose 3% body fat and inches all over my body (especially my waist). I had zero expectation going in except that the contest would be fun and that accountability would be helpful on days I didn't want to exercise. I am blown away at how toned my abs are and the muscles I've already built in my arms. In addition, I also made a big fitness goal: a healthy BMI. This is the first time since college over 25 years ago that I'm at a healthy BMI! I can scarcely believe it. I can honestly say I would not have gotten here without the accountability in this group. I made my 30-Day Challenge Goal of 15lbs lost this month which was huge, but the BMI milestone feels so much bigger. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for all of your encouragement, support, and accountability this month. Many days I'm looking at those stairs for the circuit or needing to start my own squat, lunge, plank challenge and thinking "nah- that looks hard. I can just skip it today." But then I think of all of the Absway community who are tackling this with me and it helps me reframe that this seemingly impossible task is only 15-20 minutes in 20-30 second intervals. It is so empowering to know you're beside me and that so empowering and together we FIND A WAY! If you're looking for a jump start to your fitness goal, need to add weight bearing exercise to help build muscle and reduce bone loss, or looking to break a weight-loss plateau with direct support from a trainer and an awesome community, highly recommend.

I trained at Crossfit Annandale for the summer, and I cannot say enough great things about my…read moreexperience there. I emailed every single xfit gym in the Annandale/Burke/Fairfax//Arlington area looking for a place to call home for the summer, and Crossfit Annandale was by far the most responsive, had the most reasonable rates, and seemed the friendliest in that initial email exchange. Once I got to the gym, the athletes were friendly, encouraging, and generally awesome. The coaching staff was incredibly knowledgeable, emphasizing good technique while also holding every athlete accountable for doing good work (read: leaving you gasping on the ground like a fish out of water when the wod was over). Sam, the owner, was at the gym basically every day, either coaching, or working out, or doing one thing or another to improve the facility (some days, I'd wager all three); he and his wife are so rad, and their attitude totally comes through in the way the gym is run. It feels like recess, it feels like home, it feels like it works! I had multiple PRs over the summer (bench press and double-unders, as well as strict pull-ups), and I'm certain that it's because I loved showing up to Crossfit Annandale everyday and just trying to kill every single workout. That's the kind of environment they've created at their gym, and I, along with every other athlete I saw there, left every single workout smiling. Go there. Work hard. Love fitness, and love Crossfit Annandale. They'll totally love you back.

After a few years of throwing money at something I was not really utilizing, I decided to try personal training again and turned to Core Effects. Following my initial assessment, Ariana advised me to join their small women's group to slowly build my strength as my body transitioned out of the sedentary rut I had been in. The small women's group has been the best money I have spent on my health. The times and the program work for me. And I especially enjoy the personal attention and challenge of the exercise routines. Core Effects has really helped me reassess how I look at my health. After the first month of doing the training, I immediately noticed how less tired I was. Over time, I have also noticed how much more muscle and strength I have. I highly recommend Core Effects and the small women's training group to any woman looking to get serious about their health.
