Prime Fitness has been my fitness and training facility of choice since 2014, but in 2020 the owners, Eric and Christy Giroux, quickly adapted to become an online group fitness destination in response to the pandemic. The Zoom group training continues to be as fun and effective as the live, in person boot camps. The motivation and programming are excellent, there are modifications whether you have some or no equipment, and they go beyond weight maintenance to include nutrition support and mental wellness. Prime Fitness can help you reach your health and fitness goals, whatever they may be, and you can do it safely from the comfort of your own home. read more

Prime Fitness - Whiteboard with a title All Out 500 rep Challenge and ten exercises. - Trainers Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

Nearly five years later, and still a five-star review. I used to live a 2-min drive from the old Prime location and they moved 10 minutes away to their much better current spot. I stuck with them. Then I moved and have about a 15-minute drive to get to them. I still stuck with them. The creativity of their workout circuits, along with their constructive feedback and familial feeling of the way instructors and clients interact, makes Prime a critical part of my fitness and overall wellness routine. I let my guard down about a year ago and got to the heaviest I had been - 200 lbs - mainly because I wasn't going as often and not eating as well as I could have. Over the past year, with more consistent attendance (3-4 times a week) and calorie tracking, I've been in the 170s consistently for the past few months and maintaining this healthy weight with a better muscle-to-fat ratio, thanks to Prime. Thank you Eric, Christy, Ashley and Matt!!! read more

this gym/studio is super close to where my parents live in rockville, in fact, close enough that i could walk or run there! i liked the idea of a concentrated 30 minute workout, so i decided to give it a try. i contacted the owner, christy, who graciously allowed me to visit the studio for free since it was my first time. i jogged about 10 minutes to the studio, long enough to warm up my body and get my heart rate up, but not so long that i was too tired for the workout. once there, i was greeted by the instructor for this class, who signed me in and gave me a brief introduction to the studio. at 930 sharp, she began a cardio-based warmup, and a few minutes later, explained the workout for the day, which would consist of 3 rounds of 5 different exercises. not a minute later, she started the timer and we were off! the exercises varied between free weights/dumbbells and the trx apparatus, working the arms, legs, and core. when the instructor called time, i felt that it was way too soon to end. i felt like i had just started getting into the zone and was craving for a longer workout. but instead, it was time to cool down and stretch a bit before class officially ended. although i enjoyed the warm up, strength workout, and cool down/stretch portions, i felt that 30 minutes was way too short to get a satisfying workout. i've seen their schedule and see that they offer 45 minute classes on saturdays, so perhaps i'll try a saturday class the next time i'm in town. note - they are changing locations in a couple of weeks, so check their website/facebook for the new studio location. read more

A great place for a great workout! Great coaches, great classes! So much experience in strength, functionality and things like TRX and obstacle course racing. These workouts are only a half hour long but you will work your butt off! read more

I love the workouts, even though all the coaches are so happy at 5:20am!!! The trainers really are very knowledgible, care about your form, and do an awesome job "meeting you where you are", all while pushing you just enough for improvement. I am really glad I joined in August, I feel stronger every day. read more

Prime Fitness is a pretty great place to work out. One thing right off the bat; you can't do a straight up comparison between this place and your typical Gold's Gym. You can't just drop into Prime Fitness and do your same old routine of bench presses on the free weights. Why? First, every workout here is supervised by the owner, Christy. But that's a good thing. Christy will ensure that every workout will be different, and your won't have to expend any brainpower figuring out which exercises to do; that's what you pay Christy for. She'll make you sweat. Second, there aren't any free weights at Prime Fitness. This is not a free weights/lat machine/300 lbs square type place. This a kettle bells/plyometrics/suspension trainer type of place. Functional fitness, not brute strength. Also a good thing, IMHO. That said, if you've got highly specific goals, such as "I want to be able to bench 300 lbs by the end of the year," this isn't the place for you. Or, you may want to try the one-on-one personal training sessions. The large group classes will increase your stamina, flexibility, and keep your heart rate up there, but you won't get to pick which muscle groups you want to work. Like I said, that's what you pay Christy for. On the other hand, the Prime Fitness approach is going to work for a number of different folks. Those who are just trying to get into shape and need some guidance will appreciate the fact that Christy does all the thinking, and will be watching to make sure you're doing things right. Those who are looking for overall athletic fitness (vice building huge muscles for the beach) will also be well served. Finally, this work for folks like me, who have a main fitness routine already going. I spin 2-3 times a week at my work gym, but I'm looking for something that will maintain my overall fitness. For the large group classes, it's essentially $15 a pop, so I'll admit it's more expensive than paying $30 a month at Gold's. But for what you're getting, which is a guaranteed intense workout every time, with some one knowledgable planning your workouts and watching that you're doing things right, it's a decent value. Compare to any number of the CrossFit gyms around, and Prime Fitness is competitively priced. And I've never seen anyone puke at the end of a workout. read more

Great Gym and great classes. My wife and I started taking the Fit Body Bootcamp workouts about a 6 weeks ago and could not be happier. For someone who had never been to a gym before Eric and Christy made me feel very comfortable. The atmosphere is comfortable and the encouragement is just what I needed to get in better shape. We look forward to a long relationship with our neighborhood gym. read more

I'm so thrilled to have found Prime Fitness. I've been working out there for the last eight months and seen amazing results - lost weight and inches, more energy and stronger. Christy and Eric are an amazing team and really care about you. You get the best of both worlds when you workout with Prime - personal attention from the trainers and high energy from everyone in the class. I HIGHLY recommend!!! read more

Prime Fitness is a great gym, but the value lies in the extraordinary trainers, Christy, Eric and Aaron (who is also a talented physical therapist). They really know their stuff, do all the thinking, lead intense but very fun classes and truly care about their clients and small, growing business. I'm 58, started their 30 minute FitBody classes 6 weeks ago and feel stronger every day. Can't recommend them highly enough. read more

I came to prime fitness for a 3 week trial 3 years ago and am still going. The trainers are wonderful and knowledgeable, the workouts well thought out and never boring and the atmosphere friendly and supportive. The bootcamp sessions are only 30 minutes and they offer several sessions throughout the day so they are easy to fit in on most schedules. In addition to the bootcamps they offer private training and strength training sessions. read more

Questionable gym, switched from charging members per class to over $100.00 per month and bought into some national franchise fit body boot camp and changed all classes from an hour to 30 min and got rid of one of their best trainers in Steve....this place is headed down hill quick read more

Great place to exercise. It's clean with positive energy. People are friendly here and I like that the exercises are varied each day. The owners, Christy and Eric, and trainers, like Ashley, correct your exercise posture and really are knowledgeable and professional. At the end of the half hour you really had a great workout. read more

I am pushing 50 and for the last 10 years spent 3 to 4 hours a day in a car commuting to a desk job inside the DC Beltway. I started jogging Half Marathons a few years ago and this past winter decided to step up my jogging to running. Well, the body said NO and nagging injuries flared up keeping me from my goal of running a sub 2:00 Half. I am not a "gym rat" or looking for a "show fitness club"; I just wanted to have someone guide me with exercises to improve my flexibility and tone up long unused muscles. I visited quite a few fitness places and settled on Prime Fitness with Eric and Christy Giroux. I have been participating in the group sessions and love them. I am challenged with every exercise, but can perform at my own pace. Eric and Christy provides helpful pointers on performance for each exercise and such positive feedback to keep me from being frustrated. Nothing better than having a unique program for the workout's; from starting warm ups, to serious drills, and then a cool down. It has only been a month, but I feel so much better and am more confident with my running ability. I am a work in progress, but looking forward to re-gaining an athletic body because of Prime Fitness. read more
