John is good at assessing where you are and pushing you towards your goals without being obnoxious about it. I have lost weight and become much stronger.

He is very personable and I don't feel embarrassed about telling him my goals. He is non judgmental and very positive and encouraging. I would and have recommended him to friends and family.

One…read moreof my big pet peeves is a personal trainer yelling in your face to give you 10 more, especially if they cannot tell that a weight is too heavy for you or you are physically incapable to do the task at hand. While he does push you to keep going, he can also tell when you need the break. He will also talk about other distracting things so your mind is not in the painful push-ups you are doing. It really makes a difference to have a personable trainer instead of someone screaming in your face to give you the extra 10. All in all, AWESOME workout by Eric. This is more than a compliment as I am big runner and I can definitely work out for hours without issues. But Eric gave me a run for my money. There were so many different routines that I felt challenged but never bored. We pulled ropes, we did lunges, we did ab workouts and weight training. He really will customize a workout for you. For me, he made sure to work my entire body finished with abs & stretching. He also told me about the isagenix detox that can help me lose 7-10 lbs in 11 days as he is a believer that no weight training is completed without a diet. I am really excited to try it out and go back for my next session.

I discovered Top Notch through a friend earlier in 2017 and was skeptical since I live in DC and…read moreit's located in Rockville. I couldn't see myself making the trek out to Rockville that often. I figured I'd go try it out once and probably just stick with WSC. BUT, I knew I was hooked about 30 minutes into the class. The workout was great, and I liked the variety of exercises, but what really got me was the sense of community, encouragement, and support I felt by both Eric (the gym owner) and my fellow classmates. Everyone helps and uplifts each other -- it's not a competitive environment. We also keep each other accountable when we start to slip into laziness. All of this is something I haven't really experienced at other gyms, and I really enjoy it! Eric is also mindful of providing exercise modifications if you have an injury, or if he can tell that you're reaching your max. Great community, great workouts, great price! And Eric whipped me back into shape!

I've worked in the fitness industry for over a decade -- as a trainer, group exercise instructor,…read moreand fitness center manager -- so you could say I have an above average understanding of what separates a great trainer from a so-so trainer. Alex is unquestionably one of those rare trainers who understand both the psychological and practical aspects of training. He is quick to tune into the personalities of his clients and push/encourage them accordingly, and he isn't rigid in his training approach -- if you want to skip or modify an exercise, he is happy to adjust the workout. His compliments are genuine, and he never judges you for failing to finish an exercise, resting, or confessing to a bad week of eating. Finally, I enjoy the style of the workouts he provides for me. Lots of creative exercises and new twists, yet all very functional. And because his exercises tend to utilize multiple muscle groups, they provide a full-body workout -- you definitely get your cardio in addition to strength training, which is great for anyone who is crunched for time!

I loved the workout sessions! If you're new to the gym, I recommend this gym as a great starting…read morepoint. The personal trainers tell you what you need to do, the machine is always available when you need it because they plan ahead, and they help you with your form. That said, I wasn't thrilled with the 6 week program at the Rockville location. Usually, 6 week programs help you lose 20 lbs (or a percentage of body fat if you're under 200 lbs) in that timeframe. It was a few hundred more then the cost of just sessions, but I saw results pictures from other people and I was promised nutrition sessions, so I thought it would be worth it. At the beginning of my program, I didn't get any before pictures or starting weight check at the gym. All that I had to do on my own. The nutrition session wasn't super helpful. I already watch a lot of videos on the topic and I aim for 100g of protein a day, so when I said what I was currently doing, they said to just keep it up and we never talked more about it. My other complaint is that not all the trainers use the app correctly. I came to the gym at a few different times depending on my schedule that week. The morning trainers never entered the weights I was lifting into the app log, so when I went to the afternoon trainer he wouldn't know if I progressed at all since I last saw him. That was kinda annoying because I'm paying over $1000 for a trainer and they don't keep track of my weights for me, I had to track that myself. The afternoon guy was good at using the app though. Hopefully they fix that. Overall, love the workouts, form critique, and direction in the gym. Accountability was good too since you scheduled sessions in advance. I wouldn't recommend the 6 week program. I started at 176.8 lbs and ended the program at 176.7 lbs, but I can see a little more muscle definition on my arms and I started thinking 30 lb weights were so heavy and only good for farmers walks, but now I use them in dumbbell overhead presses. I just feel like I didn't get anything extra out of it. Gym was worth it but 6 week program was not.

Power Train is not just "another gym", but rather a fitness home…read more When you walk in, you can tell how well-thought-out the design and use of the facility is... down to the the dreaded (but oh-so-good) yellow sled of death lol!. Everything in there is meant for you to get better, faster, stronger: - The personal training - while small group and not 1-1 - works out well and remains intimate, while giving you time to breathe between sets. - The bootcamp classes are never the same and you get the high intensity workout your body craves. As far as the staff goes, everyone is super friendly and welcoming and genuinely have an interest in your improvement, health and general well-being. They check-in on you and often push you past your limits. (Hi Tyler and Brian!)

Mr. Bloch is extremely professional, and listens well to your needs. Our first workout was outside in Bethesda at a park with a jump rope (my nemesis!) a weight, and a bench. difficult. Mr. Bloch was persistent, but not unkind. I can't stand a trainer that yells at you. This was so not the case. Second day workout, met at whole foods, went thoroughly over diet, and then went to my gym where I met again with that evil jump rope who kicks my butt! We focused primarily on my upper body, and I worked harder than I could have imagined. Mr. Bloch was sensitive to my needs considering how sore I was from the work out the day before, and we paid attention to my heart rate (i have an arrhythmia) and he forced me to keep well hydrated. I'm so excited to continue working out with Mr. Bloch, and I think that before this summer is over I will have a ridiculous body that my 19 year old self would be envious of ;) Seriously.
