Working with Dr. Kahan and RD Nicole Brown has truly transformed my physical health and overall quality of life. Beyond that, they've helped me begin to heal from the longstanding shame I carried around my weight and health. The changes I've made haven't been drastic, but rather small, sustainable shifts that have added up to a lifestyle I feel confident maintaining for the long term. Obesity is a chronic disease and I feel lucky that I have partners in care who can help me manage it for the rest of my life.

The whole office's staff are pleasant to work with: Adrianna at the front desk is very quick to answer your questions and always helpful; Nicole - my nutritionist- always has a positive outlook and helps me navigate ups and downs. I also had a very rare reaction to one particular medication over one weekend and Dr. Kahan immediately reached out to me and kept in touch until it got resolved.

About 9 year ago I was diagnosed of a "frozen shoulder" - physical therapy did not really work -…read moremy motion was still limited, and my orthopedic surgeon recommended to try pilates. After 8 weeks of weekly sessions with Ryan I totally forgot about my frozen shoulder, felt great, lost body fat. So I decided to continue my pilates training, then TRX and a combination of both. Now, after 8 years of training with Ryan I achieved the results I ever imagined was possible -at my 55 I am in much better shape than when I was 25 years old, as I always hated to exercise! Ryan is an outstanding trainer - he is very knowledgeable, patient, motivational, focuses on my specific goals and problems (scoliosis is just one of them) - always varies exercises to create an effective workout for me, combining pilates, TX, assisted stretching. I highly recommend Twist Pilates to anyone who wants to live a better life!

The discipline of having a personal training schedule, and, a personal trainer waiting for you, is a great motivator!! The professionalism and knowledge of the staff is impressive.

I trained with Errick for 2.5 months, meeting 2-3x/week, and the experience exceeded all…read moreexpectations. First, yes, I saw clear results in my strength and cardio: I increased my running endurance by a mile and beat my best time, leveled up in my upper body strength enough that visibly improved my posture and defined my biceps, and I had a smaller waist that meant I could wear ALL my pants again lol. More than that, Errick's supportive coaching improved my positive self-talk, resilience, and motivation in ways that have helped me in my personal and professional life. I never used to say to myself "you can do this" out loud until now and it's allowed me to work through more ambitious goals. If you're looking for a perfect balance of cheerleader and challenger, an uncanny ability to spot incorrect form (my squats have gotten so much better), unconditional enthusiasm, and a music mix catered to your tastes, Errick is your guy. I so enjoyed working with him that I plan to restart sessions soon!

This gym is in a great location with waterfront metro a few blocks away. They have a great, warm…read moreindoor pool and lounge chairs with their outdoor pool. They also have two locker rooms near the indoor pool (which is not insulated) and I'm the main gym area. Towel service is included with your membership! I actually like that it is a regular, basic gym and not high tech and fancy. Two minor issues is the showers by the indoor pool take a bit to warm up, if at all...and some do not have shower curtains. The second issue, again with the same locker room is it's hard to find a working one. Initial fee pp is $75 and we got the family membership for $120/month. For the holidays they are offering 50% off your initial fee if you bring in 5 canned items!

I've been a member here for 3 years. This gym is designed for someone who needs a convenient and…read morecost-effective place to work out. Though the equipment is not brand-new (don't expect a personal tv on your treadmill) and the space is limited (only 4 treadmills, 2 ellpiticals, and 2 bikes) Waterside Fitness is a neighborhood gym where the staff will recognize you and you'll get to know others who attend as well. The gym has a few classes including aerobics, yoga, and strength and there's no extra fee to attend if you're a member. All in all, it's just what I need on a daily basis. But if you're looking for a cutting edge place like WSC where there are rows and rows of equipment and a full schedule of back-to-back classes, you'll be disappointed. The membership fees are around $50/month and they'll give you a guest pass for a day to check it out before you join.

Came here for a class with my friend, and absolutely was not disappointed! The hot yoga class we…read moretook on Thursday with Da'Jon was EVERYTHING. Not only did the class have me feeling refreshed and challenge, but the vibe inside was everything. The people were dope, the instructor was even doer. The music was incredible, and I actually felt comfortable moving in my body in the way that made sense. Obviously, I couldn't get into everything in the way that I wanted, but it wasn't like other classes, where you feel pressured to. This class was dope. A few things: 1) take your shoes off after entering and put them in the cubby. 2) put your stuff in the lockers in the locker room. 3) know you can shower after if you would like 4) sweat your butt off! They have memberships, and they use ClassPass. I would highly recommend!

Business practices, responsiveness and sincerity of owner, commitment to the practice of wellness…read more Kendra and Melanie are complete frauds, which is sad because the studio and several of their teachers are genuine and respectful. I've supported the business for years and paid for countless of my clients to practice there but the smugness and disregard in fixing issues when they arise and their lack of professionalism is like none I've seen in true yoga practitioners. Years ago, Kendra's true care for women in general was revealed when, unlike all of her counterparts, she decided to commit to the Bikram person and his name despite his proven mistreatment of women. She indicated that it was of no consequence to her. This is the same person who shared her anger that Black women support the "white" yoga studio on H street, not realizing that the owners there are far kinder than she has ever been to Black women as they have opened up their studio to disadvantaged women that I serve for free, while she charged hundreds of dollars to serve the same community. The last straw for me was when one of her teachers accidently signed me up for a direct debit program and even after showing proof that this was done, she continued to charge my card and refused to return my calls and emails to discuss. Character, honesty, and care matters. Kendra and Melanie operate with none of the above.
