If you're only looking for a trainer to sculpt your abs, if you're not willing to crawl before you…read morewalk, or if you're just looking to lose weight; you might want to find another trainer. If you are willing to work extremely hard, give 110%, realize that fitness does not end the minute you leave the gym and completely overhaul the way you used to think about working out and nutrition, then Fareed is the trainer for you!! Fareed will turn everything you think you knew on its head as he runs you through your training. His approach to training is wildly different from any other method I've ever come across. His workouts are very functional, and with formation being key; you will develop muscles you've never used guaranteed!! Fareed trains you the way elite professional athletes train and therein lies the difference between his method and all the other trainers out there. He cares about you and how you're doing; although this may be hard to believe when you're scrabbling across the floor and swear you're about to drop dead....but he really does care. He will email you, text you and check in on you routinely to see how you're progressing and will alter his plan accordingly. After working out with Fareed for a little over 6 months and I am officially addicted! I've mostly done boot camps with him but have also been lucky enough to have a couple of personal training sessions. He is an extremely nice person, which goes a very long way when he's kicking your butt!! No matter what kind of shape you are in, he makes you feel welcome, strong, and proud of your results. He will always push your body to its limits and is great at recognizing people's different abilities and coming up with modifications - either to push you harder or work within your limitations. I've gotten much stronger and leaner since working out with him, yet the workouts NEVER get easier because he is always finding new ways to challenge you and make your body move more effectively and efficiently. With his determination on never letting me quit and pushing me further than I ever thought possible I recently conquered a half marathon in just over 2 hours! With his guidance and perseverance I was able to overcome the challenges placed in front of me. All in all, I really can't imagine working out with anyone else. Fareed is extremely positive, knowledgeable, hard working, innovative, and kind. What more could you ask for in a trainer?!?

We've been working with Fareed for about a year now, and I can confidently say he has made a…read moremeaningful impact for our 15 year old son, not just as an athlete, but as a person. Our son is both a club and high school swimmer, and when we started, one of his biggest challenges was body awareness. Fareed has an incredible ability to break things down in a way that actually clicks. He helped him understand how his body moves, how to engage the right muscle groups, and how to connect strength training to what he's doing in the water. That shift in awareness alone has been huge. But what really sets Fareed apart is everything beyond the physical training. He's been an incredible role model, consistently reinforcing a positive mindset, teaching how to visualize success, and how to approach his sport mentally not just physically. Fareed also supported him with nutrition, helping him understand how to fuel his body in a way that supports both performance and growth. It's clear he cares about the whole athlete, not just the workout in front of him. If you're looking for someone who understands both the physical and mental side of training and who can connect with your athlete in a way that actually motivates them--Fareed is exceptional.

Working out in the wee hours of the morning are tough, but the trainers make it worth it. They are incredibly friendly and challenge me to do my best, even if I dread those evil planks and pushups.

After dealing with a foot injury this past winter/spring, I plan on heading back to Body by Ginny in the fall!

Once you pay the monthly fee (which is very affordable!) you can go to any of the classes. My favorite instructor is the owner, Ginny Wright, but all of the instructors are amazing. They push you just the right amount without it being discouraging. After 3 months of consecutively taking this class I had great definition in my arms, legs, and most importantly, abs! Highly recommend. Make sure to bring a mat, hand weights, and water! You'll sweat a lot!

About a year and half ago my blood pressure was 160/80 (VERY HIGH FOR MY AGE). I was actually…read morerushed to a hospital because they thought I was having a heart attack, given the pains I was feeling in my chest. The hospital ran its own tests and, luckily, it was not a heart attack. In that moment, I knew I needed to make changes in my life. During the time I had experienced the chest pains, I was studying for the Certified Public Accounting (CPA) exams and working at an accounting firm. My work days ran really late, which is probably similar to many people in the CD Fit class. I also maintained a horrible diet, consisting of fast food and greasy Haitian food, and did minimal exercise. The amount of mental and physical exhaustion that I was experiencing at this time greatly contributed to my blood pressure being high. I then decided that my health had to be priority if I wanted to get the fullness of life, so I decided to leave that firm and continue my life in the DMV. A friend told me of the CD Fit class since they had been doing CD Fit for a while, and they shared with me the class link and told me about their experience with it so I tried out the free period membership pass. I literally almost passed out my first day in CD Fit. In fact, I was told to lay down and put my legs up to get blood to my upper body. Nevertheless, I didn't give up. Clarance, who is the owner and trainer of CD Fit really pushed the class members to fight for their health. Certain exercises seemed unusual but were doable. The women in the class out did me most of the time but as I got stronger I noticed that I did better. I continued to come after the first day and gave it my all again, although I felt like passing out. I didn't want to be embarrassed again so I kept the passing out part to myself and recovered in my car. My endurance was at an all-time high and my body striations were more visible than anytime before. I had lost 30 pounds - from 189lbs to 159lbs and my blood pressure was much better at 128/73. These results are due to the CD Fit training which helps with the physical build and informing participants about eating better through healthy, lean meals. Its an all in one fitness strategy that has gotten me closer to my health goals.

The Ballston studio is great at mixing up workouts and classes as well as engaging with their members through happy hours or the themed classes. The studio is clean and the coaches, manager and other staff are always so friendly. The coaches are a great source of encouragement during the class and make it a point to demonstrate correct and safe form while conducting the workouts. They offer a 45 minute lift class as well as a 90 minute weekend class in addition to their regular 60 minute classes. Orange Theory is great for all types of experience levels from beginner to experienced. If you live in or near the Ballston area I would recommend this to anyone.

Coming from AZ I'm used to the rooms being fully air conditioned. The management was not great as I was informed as a visitor that I'd be paying an extra fee to take the class once I was already en route in an uber. It would have been nice to have been informed that their studio was a level 5 and that I would be charged beforehand. I spoke with the manager after the class to explain my situation and she didn't seem to care. Being a long time OTF member with many visits to studios across the country my first time visit to this studio did not leave the best impression.

If I could put 100 stars, I would! I've worked with several trainers in the past and can safely say…read morethat Jeff is the best trainer I've had who will give you results. I have been a client of his for 1 year and train with him several times a week. He has kept each of my sessions interesting and very challenging and has catered them to meet my goals. Prior to working with Jeff, I had a hard time getting motivated and would get bored with exercising in general, but this has yet to happen in Jeff's sessions. Jeff keeps me motivated with challenging and different sessions each time we meet. Jeff is really on point at measuring how hard to push me, advising me on my form and is incredibly receptive to any feedback I may have. Jeff also provides me with helpful advice on the type of exercise I need to do on my own when we do not meet. Training with Jeff is one of the best decisions I've made for myself in general. He's an incredibly balanced person and an excellent trainer. I always get a workout that I would not get in a group setting or on my own. If you're looking for a genuinely good person, an excellent trainer who will inspire you, and results, I recommend that you try training with Jeff!

I've been working out with Jeff twice a week for 2 1/2 years. He is fantastic. He works me hard,…read morepushes me beyond what I thought I was capable of, and has helped make my whole body work better. As important, I like spending time with him. He is friendly, smart, interesting and has a big heart. I'm a man in his early 50s who had never done any systematic strength work. While I was reasonably fit from weekend bike rides and bike commuting, my knees and back were often achy. On weekend hikes (another favored activity), my knees always hurt on the way down. I had two goals when I started working with Jeff: to strengthen my legs so my knees would hurt less and to strengthen my core and upper body to combat the ravages of middle age. While it took almost two years of systematic work, my knees (which had hurt for almost 40 years) don't hurt anymore. Jeff figured out ways for me to strengthen my legs that worked around my achy knees until they stopped aching. He is very attentive to the way my body responds to each exercise and knows the difference between good pain and stop-now pain. Here's a before and after picture: When I started working out with Jeff, I could only do a few squats with an unweighted bar on my shoulders before my knees would seize up. No wonder they hurt when I hiked (or went down stairs or bent down to pick things up)! Today, I can squat almost 200 lbs. That wasn't really a goal, just something that happened along the way. Jeff helped me blow away my first goal: my knees don't just hurt less, they don't hurt at all. I also wanted to fight the weakness and balance issues that accompany aging. Through my work with Jeff, I am stronger and have better balance than at any time in my life. My posture has improved (a side effect of a stronger core) and my wife doesn't tease me anymore about my belly sticking out. When I began with Jeff, a set of simple 10 or 15 second planks left me breathless. Today, I don't think I'd even break a sweat. I feel very lucky to have found Jeff. I encourage you to give him a try.

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!
