If there were 6 stars I would rate this place just that. I am in awe of the training I had with…read morethem, I have been in my fitness journey on and off for the past 8 years and have gone to multiple studios, and personal trainers in the NoVA area to find the right fit for me, my body and something that was challenging enough as well. Clarendon Personal hit all these in just the first session and every session I continue to take. I am someone who can tend to want to slip off my fitness journey every now and then but with them... nope, they pushed-me, encouraged me, reminded me of what I'm capable of, and were so consistent with their communication in and out of the center, that I ALWAYS felt so welcomed and appreciated going to work out with them. My body thanked me each time after the sessions, even though I did feel sore and felt every body part being put to work ...it felt amazing because I felt i was getting my moneys worth and felt like I accomplished workouts I wouldn't of ever thought I would do. I walk out proud of myself and thankful to have found a personal training center that focuses on me and actually puts the personal to personal training. UPDATE: I recently sprained my ankle pretty bad 3 weeks ago and thought I wouldn't be able to workout but after asking my doctor for the okay to workout, I got back into the gym with my trainer Pascal. He was really patient with me and even adjusted workouts to where it strengthens my ankle and even makes it easier to walk on. I have even gone to my physical therapy after my training sessions with Clarendon Personal Training and am being told by my physical therapist I am making great progress with my ankle due to the personal training I am doing with Clarendon Personal Training. I am so happy I have found this place with trainers who know what they are doing and are super knowledgeable. I know I am in good hands! Can't wait to re-up my package.

I genuinely don't enjoy bashing a small local business publicly, but when you act like a big chain…read moregym towards your clients, well then I think it's warranted. I honestly don't understand why any able bodied human spends their money here. You can take that $250/mo right to your local SolidCore or Orange Theory and actually get an awesome group workout. If you're like me and legally a cripple, well then your options are more limited. I came here looking for one on one training/motivation to get back on track with working out after 6 months of a new job and a 15 lb gain. They sucked me in via a discounted package for the first month. My hope was that this would get me started and comfortable enough to work out in the group classes (since I couldn't afford their regular cost for one on one). It worked. For a while. Until it didn't. The turnover in personal trainers was insane. When I started, there were 4 trainers. Two had a very hands off approach, two were the opposite. Of course the 2 that were eager to work with me and give me that extra few mins of individual attention to make sure that I was still getting a solid workout left a few months after I joined. Several more trainers cycled through but none lasted more than a month. In addition to the above, the schedule changed frequently. When I first started, there were 4 x 30 min classes in the morning and then in the the evening. It was great and incredibly accommodating. The vast majority of members would stay for a full hour, but I liked that I had the option to just do 30 mins with such a large time window. It made it so easy to just show up. Then the classes transitioned to a more standard 45 min 4 times a day, however a lot of the times classes would be randomly cancelled if no one signed up fast enough. So basically, no last minute decisions. In terms of the facility, it's in a dingy basement behind Ambar. No AC in the summer and no heat in the winter. One bathroom that has never had any soap in it and half the time doesn't have paper towels. Allegedly, there are cleaners who come in 3 x a week, but the floor is always filthy in the gym, and after a flood ruined the workout mats it was several billing cycles before new ones appeared. There are generally not enough weights when class size reaches more than 4. And of course not enough space to comfortably work out, especially when the other trainer has a one on one client. The thing that made me write this was the big chain gym approach when it came time to try and end our relationship. I realized that this studio wasn't working for me anymore. I had no motivation to go to the classes and when I did, I basically had to do my own thing with little to no instruction from either trainer. I mean why would I get in my car and drive there only to have to listen to someone else's music and workout by myself in a corner? The only advantage over the small gym in my apt building was more equipment. I approached the owner about this. He directed me straight to one of the trainers. Didn't even bother to have a discussion of why I wanted out of my membership. The trainer and I had a semi productive conversation where I got to voice my concerns, felt that they were heard, but ultimately little to nothing changed and the end result was another month of money wasted and no change in my progress. When I emailed them again w my concerns...radio silence. So I guess my parting gift is a final $250 for CF and this review. Maybe they can put that money towards buying more dumbbells. Please don't waste your money here.

I went to his indoor and outdoor classes and I saw how serious he was about a good 10-minute warm-up, then the workout, and a 10-minute cool down. In my running clubs, I get my cardio in. With his workouts, I get everything from agility, speed, strength, functional workouts, etc. I always leave his class feeling challenged but accomplished. Pete is professional and also very approachable. He connects with everyone in his classes by being encouraging, checking on your form, pushing you but also providing alternatives when necessary. He keeps it going so that nobody is left behind. When I was injured he checked in to make sure I was ok and he has also kept me accountable when I accidentally missed classes which is great because it shows you are not just a number but that he wants to see you succeed. He also offers track workouts and does trail runs so looking forward to 2024 with ASC!

I'm writing a review for the body composition and RMR side of the house. I went in separately…read morebecause I goofed on my acronyms, so did the DEXA with Mike C and the RMR with Waseem. Both of those guys are top notch and know their stuff. (Side note: I don't give out five stars for much... I'm a fussy yelp reviewer when I bother to write a report.) I went in because I took up fitness during the pandemic and built up a decent strength and cardio game, but the body fat just isn't shedding. My home gym, and a weight loss program my doc referred me to both use Inbody, and I'm kind of tired of it. Mainly because when I started this whole fitness thing during the pandemic, physiologically I was a wreck. However, I've made a lot of good changes, and... the Inbody just doesn't move. Everybody always told me that the DEXA is the latest and greatest, and it was just a matter of finding one. Bodymass had the nearest one at a decent price. (There's others but they are $$$). My DEXA scan aligned really closely with my inbody report, so that itself wasn't an issue (now. Three years ago, different story.) But where things really go off the rails is with the BMR/RMR calculation. The Inbody report read 500 calories below my actual RMR! The real helpful thing from those guys was getting a target daily protein intake. They gave me a number I was never going to get on my own. With these guys, you get what you pay for and then some. They'll happily talk about other things they offer, but they're not in the business of upselling you on things you don't want. (That said, if I still can't get things moving in the right direction, I'll give their personalized macro thing a try and see what happens.) As I said above, I don't hand out 5 stars for much, but these guys earned it.

The instructors are very hands on and really watch your form and give corrections where needed. The workout isn't designed to be so crazy hard the average person can't do it- you can always start small on weights and you are encouraged to move up in weight when comfortable doing so. I so appreciate the lack of needing to do some insanely hard weight just because, forgoing form in the process. Love the instructors, love the workouts, love that they incorporate stretching as well. They also have nice locker room facilities and nice showers too.

Pretty stoked about this place…read more I've seen a number of gyms and trainers off/on over the years, but this team has it *dialed in*, in all directions. Method Fitness business communication is absolutely professional -- from person-to-person communication, to email, to text alerts/reminders, even being greeted at door, it's all easy, correct, and smooth. My intake interview alone basically "sold" me -- Mateo and talked a lot, I unloaded a ton of stuff about details and goals and issues, and he heard every damn word and absolutely nothing was missed. Zero. He then rolled it into a perfect trainer selection for me. No surprises. I get text reminders about the sessions, and all the staff work together as a team, as a single team, from the moment you walk in the door. The facilities are perfect for meeting fitness goals. It's not a zoo of machines and noise and clutter and random people. There's plenty of space and all the right tools are there. There may be few other people there during my time slot, I feel like my trainer and I 'own' the the whole gym. No waiting for anything. No distractions, no wasted time. Where Method *really* shines is the quality of their programming. I came in with all sorts of history, glitches, ideas, and goals, but they surprised me with more. My beastly and superb trainer, Jack Walter, pays laser attention and is addressing stuff in *hours* that I had not fully seen, and uncovers things I never even noticed! And then he immediately finds a way to address it. The excitement of "actually getting somewhere" is real. These Method guys are *not* picking some rando workout plan out of a hat: it's absolutely tailored. I can't tell you how encouraging this is and how much hope it builds. For older folks, they put a special eye on mobility, injuries, and chronic issues and then target them for fixes. Speaking of workout plan -- I didn't know Method, and they didn't know me, and they had the steady professional foresight to schedule in a few "figure things out" sessions to see where I was, and how I responded to training before -- I repeat, before -- starting a regular routine. This way, they know the regular plan will address my particular needs, and that I'll respond to it successfully. Like I said: Absolutely Professional. Short Story, this is all after just a few weeks. I walked into this place thinking "OK, I'll try a handful of sessions" ....and now? My weights are going up every time. My flexibility and stability are improving. And I feel like I am going to be like the other people we see in the comments who go long and deep with this team. Really hope to see you in the gym! Get in for the free consult! All the best to your success!

I've been coming for about 8 months now since their elementals class which gives you the basics on form, what to expect in the classes, etc. These were fantastic and I highly recommend to familiarize yourself to a CrossFit workout. Now I'm addicted and come about 2-3 times a week along with other workouts I do. In just 8 months, I feel like I've made so much more progress than in any other fitness routine I've done. I'm strong, toned, and I have never been injured here.. just a few bruises and sore muscles. Oh but it hurts so good, because I really see and feel the difference. In just one hour, you'll have the best workout of your life every time. The coaches here are really amazing and make sure they watch your form and make modifications so you don't get hurt, but truly you have to understand your limits and ask questions when needed. I'm amazed that my torn knee and back have not bothered me at all anymore now that I've strengthened the main and accessory muscles. I feel so strong!!! Thanks for making me feel like such a badass!!!

The music selection was great (think upbeat, fun, and kept you moving), and the coach was genuinely warm and welcoming when I walked in. If you're looking to switch up your routine or try something different, it definitely checks that box. That said, a few things didn't quite land for me. The space is very small and boutique, which is cozy in one sense, but also felt a bit cramped once the class started. I've been Olympic lifting for about two years now, and I noticed one person struggling with their front rack squat form. I didn't feel comfortable stepping in as a newcomer, and it was tough watching the coach not address or correct it. Form matters for safety, especially when we're working under load, so that was a concern for me. Also, the class flow was guided by a single small screen with a timer, and the alert to switch stations was super faint. I found myself constantly glancing around to make sure I wasn't missing transitions because I couldn't really hear the cue. Overall, I loved the idea of the class and the friendliness of the coach, but I would have appreciated more coaching engagement, motivation, and attention to form, especially given the style of training. I think with a bit more hands-on guidance and clearer structure, this class could be a really great experience.
