If you are scared to death and intimated as hell - this is your place. Ryan & Tina (owners) are kind and down to earth. Will and team (coaches) are amazing. They are all about safety (covid and not hurting yourself) first. Every day I walk in unsure if I can finish a workout - but every day I walk out not only completing the workout - but feeling accomplished doing so! I can't recommend this place enough. Do yourself a favor and schedule your first workout today!!!

It has been great! OTF offers excellent cardio and strength classes at a variety of convenient times. The real magic is the OTF staff - I have found them to be so welcoming, positive, fun, and wonderful all-around instructors. I have recently had classes with Erica and Chey who are both terrific. The OTF instructors seamlessly make the classes challenging but fun and foster a welcoming group atmosphere - whether you are brand new or a regular. They offer a nice mix of workouts to keep things interesting, and there are frequent seasonal challenges or themes to look forward to. I feel much healthier and active than I have in years thanks to this OTF location and their staff. (I also like you can drop in at other OTF locations, which I have done a handful of times). I highly recommend checking them out!

Chelbie helped me on my first day and made me feel so welcomed and valued-- I seriously love her! Coach Allie made me feel super comfortable for my first workout and is also so, so nice. Abigail helped me before my last class and she was amazing, as well. Those girls are honestly one of the reasons I love OTF so much already! As far as the workout, it is the perfect intensity for me. It is an AWESOME, challenging workout but everything is doable and you can cater everything to your fitness level. I like seeing my heart rate and being able to easily know when to possibly pull back and when to push harder! I was amazed at how many calories I burned in the class! I don't think I have ever burned so many calories in a single workout! I think the price is very fair for the value. I'm looking forward to many more classes! :)

If there were 6 stars I would rate this place just that. I am in awe of the training I had with…read morethem, I have been in my fitness journey on and off for the past 8 years and have gone to multiple studios, and personal trainers in the NoVA area to find the right fit for me, my body and something that was challenging enough as well. Clarendon Personal hit all these in just the first session and every session I continue to take. I am someone who can tend to want to slip off my fitness journey every now and then but with them... nope, they pushed-me, encouraged me, reminded me of what I'm capable of, and were so consistent with their communication in and out of the center, that I ALWAYS felt so welcomed and appreciated going to work out with them. My body thanked me each time after the sessions, even though I did feel sore and felt every body part being put to work ...it felt amazing because I felt i was getting my moneys worth and felt like I accomplished workouts I wouldn't of ever thought I would do. I walk out proud of myself and thankful to have found a personal training center that focuses on me and actually puts the personal to personal training. UPDATE: I recently sprained my ankle pretty bad 3 weeks ago and thought I wouldn't be able to workout but after asking my doctor for the okay to workout, I got back into the gym with my trainer Pascal. He was really patient with me and even adjusted workouts to where it strengthens my ankle and even makes it easier to walk on. I have even gone to my physical therapy after my training sessions with Clarendon Personal Training and am being told by my physical therapist I am making great progress with my ankle due to the personal training I am doing with Clarendon Personal Training. I am so happy I have found this place with trainers who know what they are doing and are super knowledgeable. I know I am in good hands! Can't wait to re-up my package.

I genuinely don't enjoy bashing a small local business publicly, but when you act like a big chain…read moregym towards your clients, well then I think it's warranted. I honestly don't understand why any able bodied human spends their money here. You can take that $250/mo right to your local SolidCore or Orange Theory and actually get an awesome group workout. If you're like me and legally a cripple, well then your options are more limited. I came here looking for one on one training/motivation to get back on track with working out after 6 months of a new job and a 15 lb gain. They sucked me in via a discounted package for the first month. My hope was that this would get me started and comfortable enough to work out in the group classes (since I couldn't afford their regular cost for one on one). It worked. For a while. Until it didn't. The turnover in personal trainers was insane. When I started, there were 4 trainers. Two had a very hands off approach, two were the opposite. Of course the 2 that were eager to work with me and give me that extra few mins of individual attention to make sure that I was still getting a solid workout left a few months after I joined. Several more trainers cycled through but none lasted more than a month. In addition to the above, the schedule changed frequently. When I first started, there were 4 x 30 min classes in the morning and then in the the evening. It was great and incredibly accommodating. The vast majority of members would stay for a full hour, but I liked that I had the option to just do 30 mins with such a large time window. It made it so easy to just show up. Then the classes transitioned to a more standard 45 min 4 times a day, however a lot of the times classes would be randomly cancelled if no one signed up fast enough. So basically, no last minute decisions. In terms of the facility, it's in a dingy basement behind Ambar. No AC in the summer and no heat in the winter. One bathroom that has never had any soap in it and half the time doesn't have paper towels. Allegedly, there are cleaners who come in 3 x a week, but the floor is always filthy in the gym, and after a flood ruined the workout mats it was several billing cycles before new ones appeared. There are generally not enough weights when class size reaches more than 4. And of course not enough space to comfortably work out, especially when the other trainer has a one on one client. The thing that made me write this was the big chain gym approach when it came time to try and end our relationship. I realized that this studio wasn't working for me anymore. I had no motivation to go to the classes and when I did, I basically had to do my own thing with little to no instruction from either trainer. I mean why would I get in my car and drive there only to have to listen to someone else's music and workout by myself in a corner? The only advantage over the small gym in my apt building was more equipment. I approached the owner about this. He directed me straight to one of the trainers. Didn't even bother to have a discussion of why I wanted out of my membership. The trainer and I had a semi productive conversation where I got to voice my concerns, felt that they were heard, but ultimately little to nothing changed and the end result was another month of money wasted and no change in my progress. When I emailed them again w my concerns...radio silence. So I guess my parting gift is a final $250 for CF and this review. Maybe they can put that money towards buying more dumbbells. Please don't waste your money here.
