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.

Under the guidance of Carlo, I lost 30+ pounds in less than a year and significantly increased my strength. Carlo truly cares about his clients.

If you are looking to achieve your fitness and weight loss goals and are ready to do the work I highly recommend Get Fit!

I was surprised by Kelly's email I received the morning of March 23rd in regards to her dropping me…read moreas a client because my response time was not to her liking. She gave me no warning and didn't inquire about why I didn't respond in a timely fashion. Obviously, her lack of empathy for her clients is on full display, despite her telling me that she cared about your client's success and fitness goals. Her inability to properly address me on March 14th and March 21st requesting my weight, showed no respect for me as a client. She didn't address me by my name, ask me how I was doing, or ask me how was my day. For example, March 14th e-mail read, "You didn't send your weight yesterday". That email was so unprofessional. Greeting and asking about a client's day may seem trivial to her but in the world of decency and respect, it shows some personal short comings on her part. I have two co-workers who live in the city of Alexandria who are looking for a Personal Trainer and wanted to know the outcome of working with Kelly. Clearly, they won't be signing up! In hindsight, her decision to drop me as a client is good for me, because I don't want to work with anyone with her issues.

We focused on nutrition and I learned how to better manage my food intake in a healthy and sustainable way (I think I was actually eating too little before meeting with Kelly). In the past 4 months with her, I've lost 25 pounds and 12% body fat! I feel stronger and am absolutely thrilled with where I am for my wedding (I've actually had to alter my dress because it was too lose). Highly recommend for anyone wanting an encouraging and motivational partner in this journey. Even though I've done a lot of work in the past with other trainers and had an idea of how to meet my goals, Kelly was able to give me specific direction based on my personal needs. I definitely wouldn't have been able to do this without her and I expect to continue working with her in the future.

On at least one occasion, FitOne has emailed their client list asking them to review the business on Yelp. Additionally, do your own research and make your own decisions on their nutritional counseling. I've since learned that there is really very little oversight for or agreement on what consitutes a nutritionist, or qualifies one as such. My own story is halfway to its happy ending; with the help of a certified NP with nutritional credentials, I've lost 20# of pure fat in less than 2mo. I still wish I hadn't wasted my time/money/energy with FitOne - and I stand by the rest of my first review. On the other hand, they're nice people who genuinely intend to help. YMMV.

When I started in March 2015 I could barely do the PT test requirements, let alone pass a PT test. I am now happy to say that I can now pass a PT test with flying colors and do other things I never thought I would do. Fitness Together genuinely wants to see you succeed and when you do meet a goal get as happy (if not more) than you do. They hold you accountable for your workouts and your goals through assessments every 6 weeks where you go over your results and goal list from the previous assessment to see what went well and what can be improved. Then you make a new goal list and sign an agreement that basically says you will not make excuses. At first I thought it would be intimidating working out one on one in a smaller gym but I couldn't be happier with my decision. There are plenty of trainers and training times so it is very flexible to your work schedule and you can train with as many or as little of the trainers as you want. If you want to just work with the same person each session you can or you can work with a different person each time, it is completely up to you. They build your program around you and any trainer can work off that program. If looking for a personal trainer and a great environment to achieve you goals in I would hands down recommend Fitness Together Alexandria, I know that I as long as I stay in the area this is where I will be.
