I am a 43-year-old golfer with a 12 handicap. I purchased a one-month membership with the goal of…read moremaking some changes to my swing and potentially buying new irons. The facility itself is clean, impressive, and well maintained. Unfortunately, my experience with the golf instruction was disappointing. As part of the membership, I received a swing assessment with Shane. During the assessment, he never asked about my handicap, my golf background, my typical ball flight, my goals, or what I was hoping to improve. I felt like I was being judged entirely on my swing without any context about my game. He showed me pictures of Ben Hogan's and Tiger Woods' swings and suggested that I watch PGA tournaments and pay attention to how players practice. He told me my takeaway was wrong, that I needed to widen my setup, and that I needed to rotate my shoulders. However, I was given very little instruction on how to make those changes. I was given a swing sequence and a shoulder exercise, but no real progression or repeatable drills to help me develop the new movement. At the end of the lesson, I was asked if I wanted to sign up for five lessons for $550. I was already somewhat deflated by the experience, but I wanted to improve my swing, so I decided to continue. When I came back for my second lesson, Shane did not remember me. He again showed me the same Ben Hogan and Tiger Woods swing pictures and once again told me to watch PGA tournaments and watch players practice. It felt like I was receiving essentially the same lesson for a second time. This time, he moved me farther away from the ball and then told me to choke up on the club. I told him that I felt extremely far from the ball and that I could feel my back pulling to compensate for the position. I took three swings, and on the third swing I lost my balance. He then pointed out that I was out of balance. From my perspective, the setup changes had contributed to the problem, and I wasn't given a clear explanation of why the changes were being made. My biggest issue was not that he identified things in my swing that needed work. I expected to be critiqued. My issue was that I was often given 10 things to fix but no clear plan for how to fix them. I wasn't given enough repeatable drills, practice routines, swing feels, or progressions that I could take to the range and work on. I ultimately spent about five weeks watching YouTube videos and working on my takeaway and swing on my own. I realized I was spending more time trying to teach myself how to make the changes than I had spent actually learning how to make them during my lessons. That made me question what I was paying for. I decided to ask for a refund and will be looking for a different instructor. I understand that different golfers respond to different teaching styles, and Shane may be a good instructor for some players. However, his approach was not a good fit for me. I felt like he had one particular way he wanted me to swing, rather than working with me to understand my existing swing and giving me a structured way to make changes. I don't have anything negative to say about the facility itself, and the other instructor I interacted with was a nice guy. I may still use the facility when I am ready to purchase new irons. My criticism is specifically about my experience with the lessons. My advice to other golfers would be to take one lesson with Shane before committing to a package. For me, the experience was ultimately discouraging because I wanted instruction that gave me a clear understanding of what I needed to change, why I needed to change it, and--most importantly--how to practice it.

I have been out of the triathlon world for about a decade but I have slowly been making my way back into the scene. Looking at my old equipment I decided that it was time to upgrade my triathlon shoes. I went to Transition Tri looking for the new Shimano TR-901 - and they had them (which was impressive because everyone else was sold out). Steve easily took 90 mins helping me try on a few different tri shoes, a few helmets and a few other things. Steve also gave me the low down on what has been happening in the tri world over the last 10 year - over those 90 mins - he reminded me why I fell in love with triathlons ten years ago. To anyone looking to upgrade / update their triathlon equipment - there is no better place in the DMV. Steve is fantastic, his inventory is diverse (across sizes, brands and price points). I can't wait to go back.

He is a golfer who can demonstrate what he is looking for and can quickly find adjustments I need to make to hit the ball clean. My previous Golftec instructor at another location showed me the GOLFTEC model swing but I struggled to blend my current swing with the model. True experts like Andrew, not only know the GOLFTEC model swing but can also customize it to the individual level. Last year, when I took my first sessions at a previous golftec, my former instructor focused on hitting a draw via the GOLFTEC model. Unfortunately, I had a very strong grip and combined with the new model, I hit lots of duck hooks. Andrew adjusted my grip and I gained 15 yards by hitting it straight and with a slight draw. He also had me "stand up" on my downswing to drive the hips which also added another 10 yards. Go see Andrew M. He is fantastic!

Last year, I noticed that he had moved his studio to the Sterling area, so I thought I would try him. I should have just gone to him when I first found him. He is an excellent, excellent teacher. He really puts his heart into his teaching by observing and correcting, and also by varying his teaching and material to suit your current skill level. A low-key person, Alex aways comes across as kind and thoughtful. As an adult student with some background in classical guitar, the chance to learn flamenco guitar was great. Right hand technique in flamenco is much more advanced than traditional classical guitar. Learning flamenco guitar exposes you to a whole different world of technique and tradition; by improving RH technique, your classical guitar playing also improves. If you live within driving distance of Alex, you owe it to yourself to go to him for some help!
