If I could put 100 stars, I would! I've worked with several trainers in the past and can safely say…read morethat Jeff is the best trainer I've had who will give you results. I have been a client of his for 1 year and train with him several times a week. He has kept each of my sessions interesting and very challenging and has catered them to meet my goals. Prior to working with Jeff, I had a hard time getting motivated and would get bored with exercising in general, but this has yet to happen in Jeff's sessions. Jeff keeps me motivated with challenging and different sessions each time we meet. Jeff is really on point at measuring how hard to push me, advising me on my form and is incredibly receptive to any feedback I may have. Jeff also provides me with helpful advice on the type of exercise I need to do on my own when we do not meet. Training with Jeff is one of the best decisions I've made for myself in general. He's an incredibly balanced person and an excellent trainer. I always get a workout that I would not get in a group setting or on my own. If you're looking for a genuinely good person, an excellent trainer who will inspire you, and results, I recommend that you try training with Jeff!

I've been working out with Jeff twice a week for 2 1/2 years. He is fantastic. He works me hard,…read morepushes me beyond what I thought I was capable of, and has helped make my whole body work better. As important, I like spending time with him. He is friendly, smart, interesting and has a big heart. I'm a man in his early 50s who had never done any systematic strength work. While I was reasonably fit from weekend bike rides and bike commuting, my knees and back were often achy. On weekend hikes (another favored activity), my knees always hurt on the way down. I had two goals when I started working with Jeff: to strengthen my legs so my knees would hurt less and to strengthen my core and upper body to combat the ravages of middle age. While it took almost two years of systematic work, my knees (which had hurt for almost 40 years) don't hurt anymore. Jeff figured out ways for me to strengthen my legs that worked around my achy knees until they stopped aching. He is very attentive to the way my body responds to each exercise and knows the difference between good pain and stop-now pain. Here's a before and after picture: When I started working out with Jeff, I could only do a few squats with an unweighted bar on my shoulders before my knees would seize up. No wonder they hurt when I hiked (or went down stairs or bent down to pick things up)! Today, I can squat almost 200 lbs. That wasn't really a goal, just something that happened along the way. Jeff helped me blow away my first goal: my knees don't just hurt less, they don't hurt at all. I also wanted to fight the weakness and balance issues that accompany aging. Through my work with Jeff, I am stronger and have better balance than at any time in my life. My posture has improved (a side effect of a stronger core) and my wife doesn't tease me anymore about my belly sticking out. When I began with Jeff, a set of simple 10 or 15 second planks left me breathless. Today, I don't think I'd even break a sweat. I feel very lucky to have found Jeff. I encourage you to give him a try.

I tried the Iron Circuit class at GetFit Studio in Alexandria today and honestly had a pretty…read morefrustrating experience. When I first arrived, the front door was locked. I walked around the building trying to see if I was in the wrong place or if anyone was inside, but I couldn't find anyone. After waiting a few minutes, I called the studio and no one picked up. I went back to the front, and eventually a guy opened the door for me but when I mentioned it was locked, he said it wasn't, which was confusing and didn't sit right. The class ended up being just me, which already made the energy feel kind of off. It was set up as a circuit with eight exercises and four laps. The warm-up alone was three rounds, and I was honestly exhausted by the second round. I told the coach that, but he kept pushing me to finish the last round anyway. I get that coaching involves encouragement, but it felt more like pressure than support. The overall vibe of the class was pretty dull and unmotivating. I'm not sure if it was because I was the only one there, but there was no energy or effort to make the session engaging. I completed three out of the four rounds and told him I didn't have it in me to do the last one. His response was basically, "So you're just going to leave early then?" which came off dismissive and a bit rude. At that point, I was already drained and over it. On top of that, the cleanliness didn't inspire confidence. The shower supplies looked really neglected, residue buildup, cloudy containers, and just generally not something you'd feel comfortable using. It added to the overall impression that the space isn't being maintained as well as it should be. Between the confusing entry situation, lack of responsiveness, the coach's off-putting attitude, and the condition of the facilities, this just wasn't a great experience. I don't see myself coming back.

We've been working with Fareed for about a year now, and I can confidently say he has made a…read moremeaningful impact for our 15 year old son, not just as an athlete, but as a person. Our son is both a club and high school swimmer, and when we started, one of his biggest challenges was body awareness. Fareed has an incredible ability to break things down in a way that actually clicks. He helped him understand how his body moves, how to engage the right muscle groups, and how to connect strength training to what he's doing in the water. That shift in awareness alone has been huge. But what really sets Fareed apart is everything beyond the physical training. He's been an incredible role model, consistently reinforcing a positive mindset, teaching how to visualize success, and how to approach his sport mentally not just physically. Fareed also supported him with nutrition, helping him understand how to fuel his body in a way that supports both performance and growth. It's clear he cares about the whole athlete, not just the workout in front of him. If you're looking for someone who understands both the physical and mental side of training and who can connect with your athlete in a way that actually motivates them--Fareed is exceptional.
