Front Staff is still friendly and great, but gym has been on a decline for past 2-3months. Machines…read morehave been broke for over a month with no repair and the culture here has a lot of people not following simple rules, such as slamming your weights (which is why the machines keep breaking, having full business calls while sitting on a machine, re-racking etc). I come everyday and never see staff monitor the floor. The trainers are down here, but I'm assuming it's not their responsibility. With no one monitoring and getting rid/or giving warnings to the disrespectful gym members, machines will keep breaking. Hopefully they turn it around, really have enjoyed this gym.

World Gate has been my main gym for at least 3 years now. It's not the cheapest gym I could go to…read morebut for all the facilities and options offered plus the proximity to me, I cannot find another. The membership price is reasonable considering all of the facilities. However, it's not reasonable if you don't use all the facilities! Sometimes, I feel like I'm paying for some stuff I'm never interested in using - like the racketball rooms, the spa, yoga classes, dance classes, etc. There's another gym that's like 2 minutes away from me and costs like 50% of World Gate but they don't have a sauna which is essential to me. The facilities that I use regularly are the weight room, the sauna, and showers. I do like having the ability to swim sometimes if I want to. World Gate has a lot of options. I don't enjoy the price I'm paying but I also do not see another gym with all my non-essentials at a better price so I continue to go here. What's missing though is the actual cold plunges - not cryotherapy chairs. If they can manage that, I'd not be complaining about my membership price. I'd have everything I need.

After moving from sunny health-focused and image-keeping San Diego, I'd barely noticed that I…read moregained 8-10 lbs (I'm 5'2.5" so that's a lot for me!) after I moved back to my hometown in Virginia after throwing down Papa John's, McDonald's, Wendy's, . I was the heaviest that I've ever been in my life and with a wedding fast-approaching on the horizon, I had to get serious. After 8 months of LA Boxing with no improvements in my weight or tone, I was so desperate to get into some serious shape with a trainer. After googling "personal trainers fairfax," I stumbled upon Coach Charles' website and was eager to begin a new health regimen, especially with an appealing "$249 for 4 weeks of personal training!" advertisement. I started training with Charles 2 days later, and after 4 weeks of training, I've tripled my strength, lost 1.5 inches around my middle and hips/butt, and lost about 2.5% of my body fat. As a short person who wasn't really overweight to begin with (I wore a size 4, size small but medium when self conscious, size 26/27 in jeans), it's hard to really make huge weight loss. But after the past 4 weeks, my fiance noticed I was getting "skinnier," and friends have noticed the weight loss in even two weeks! He measures your progress based on: abilities to progress in strength, measurements in chest, gut 1 (bellybutton level), gut 2 (hip level), hips/butt, thigh circumference, flexed right arm circumference, body fat %, and weight. This isn't your normal "run on a treadmill, warm up on an elliptical, do some tricep kickbacks and bicep curls" type of workout with some juiced-up creatine junkie trainer... this is real training, down to the nuts and bolts, with proven methods. His exercises are fun, challenging, and Coach Charles knows how to produce results. I look forward to going to training each and every session, it flies by and I'm sweating. He customizes your routine to your abilities, challenges, aches and pains, to ensure that you will get an effective workout despite joint problems, range of motion limitations, or health issues. Coach Charles used to be obese himself (not many juiced-up trainers can say the same, they just know how to "pump you up")! He designed our workouts to achieve the results he actually made happen for himself and has fine-tuned them to each person's needs. He even got his own wife into shape and her body is rock hard! Anyway I've gone on for far too long but it's hard to speak to the greatness that is FitHealth. He's flexible with sessions (if you're out of town, he designs a regimen for your vacation), he's motivating (unless you want to eat cheese all the time like I do), and very likeable. Go on his website and request a consultation, it's great!! And you won't regret it!

I have been going to Coach Charles for almost 2 months. It has been a great experience. I have…read morebecome more aware of my eating habits, I pick food up that I really want and by the time I leave the store I realize that most of it won't help me lose the inches I want and look good in that bikini! I have lost several inches off my waist and with the motivation from coach Charles I know I'll meet all my goals before summer. I would highly recommend if you want inexpensive personal training this is the way to go. He take the time to work with you on your strengths and weaknesses.

In the words of my friend Kari, who originally introduced me to Ron, "Ron IS the gym!"…read more I'm thinking about all the gyms I've been a member of during my life... Philadelphia Sports Club, Lifetime Fitness, Golds, Xsport... I've seen a lot of personal trainers. I have never seen any personal trainers do the stuff Ron makes you do. There's a reason I keep going to Ron - because he helps you achieve your goals and you will see results. He knows what he is doing!! He really cares about his clients even outside of the hour that he sees you a week. He'll follow up and make sure you're held accountable for the other 6 days of the week. I recommend Ron to anyone looking to get/stay fit.

He will make you sweat, but you will laugh through it. Ron gets creative with his workout routines. Indoor, outdoor, staircase, lawn... wherever you are, he will make you work hard.

I bought groupon deal for classes. They shoudn't be posting groupons if they are not ready to…read morerespect groupons fully. Asked to pay $45 extra on top of what we already paid for groupon. Not recommended. EDIT: Responding to the owner below, Groupon was purchased over 2 months ago and I waited for reformer classes schedule for over a month and not one available. I think this was reasonable wait period. As for the relocation out of this area (something out of my hand), I was offered 1 reformer private session (in place of 5 group sessions) as substitute, but wasn't made aware of $45 additional fees on top of groupon I had already purchased (I should have asked). Overall, not a pleasant experience.

Me and my spouse were training with lead trainer Carlos since April 2016. We lost 65 pounds between…read moreboth of us. My husband lost 40 pounds and me 25 pounds. We would highly recommend Carlos for someone who is serious about their weight loss and also personal well being. Carlos will make you work and any lapses in eating habits won't be spared usually. And it helped us in the long run and pressured us to be more dedicated. If you are committed for weight loss, you will see amazing results with Carlos and his team of personal trainers. We would highly rate Carlos and also Pauline, Rinaldo both of which, we had 1-2 sessions in between.

Usually personal trainers ask what your goals are in terms of weight loss , getting more fit etc. He didn't ask any such questions. Secondly, for most of my 30-minute sessions, he would just be on the phone, only looking up for two seconds to tell me what exercise to do next which, I thought, was pretty weird, and rude. He was not a good motivator and would often laugh when I struggled to finish a set. I couldn't wait to be done with my sessions (I had purchased a package and had prepaid) and would never go back here again. Not sure how good the other trainers are but would NOT recommend Lorenzo
