He constantly challenges me with new programs and keeps me working harder every week. He's professional and beyond knowledgeable about everything from physical health, nutrition and recovery.

I'm looking forward till I am prepping for a fight and amp up my training with Brian! Please don't kill me!

I've done a lot of research on personal trainers in Northern Virginia and Brian is top notch! I…read morestumbled upon Brian's business (Bowtai Fitness) on Reddit and reached out via email to ask some questions about his process. He got back to me quickly and answered my bajillion questions very thoroughly. He also suggested setting up a time to meet so I could tell him a bit more about my fitness goals and check out the gym. Through our chat, it became clear that Brian takes a scientific approach to PT, is very safety conscious/is a stickler for form, and is very results-oriented. We also clicked on a personal-level, which is always nice to have with a trainer! I've been training with him for a few months and am very happy. I'll go into a bit more detail below. Approach: Brian created a custom program for me based on my fitness goals. It's all tracked and shared with me via Google docs. Every few weeks he switches up the program. I told Brian I also want to train a few days a week at home and he was extremely accommodating. He asked me to take a picture of my gym and equipment and he created workouts that worked for me and my situation. This is above and beyond in my opinion! I also appreciate that he takes a holistic approach by incorporating nutrition into the program. He gives me my macros and updates them every so often depending on my progress.   Facilities: I really like Brian's gym! It's called District Barbell and it's located very close to the Mosaic District. It's very private. Usually there are only a couple of other people in there during my sessions. He has all the equipment I could ever want - and more. It's very clean and parking is easy. Flexibility and Availability: Brian is really flexible. It's truly a personal training program and he is happy to adjust the schedule, training, nutrition, etc. to you and your unique needs. He's also really accessible. He's very open to communicating via text if you have questions about nutrition or training! Obviously things are different now in the times of COVID19. However, Brian's flexibility is even more apparent during these times. He definitely has options to help you on your fitness journey remotely! He offers virtual PT sessions as well as killer group training sessions via Zoom a few times a week. He is also still helping me write custom programs for my home gym and checking in every now and then to see how I'm doing. I highly recommend training with Brian!

I had the pleasure of starting my training with Wayne and I was not disappointed!…read more Wayne took the interest and time to educate me to understand nutrition, to offer me the tools I needto create a plan specific to my needs, development, and evolution.

My teenage son has been training at Integrative Performance for almost a year. When he started, he…read morewas reluctant and not very self-motivated. We had tried many fitness programs and all were short lived. Bobby and Ben met him where he was and pushed him beyond his initial comfort zone. He developed grit and resilience.

This place has laid a foundation of fitness that will carry him through life.

For us, the results at Integrative Performance have been transformative.

Jason has been my personal trainer since 2015. After two years of almost weekly sessions, I feel…read morejust about transformed. I started out with virtually no upper-body strength, a vague idea of what my goals were, and absolutely no idea of how to reach them. I am now visibly and measurably stronger (by orders of magnitude on some lifts), and I now feel like I know what my strengths and weaknesses are, what is achievable, and what I should focus on. In addition to having decades of experience doing this work, Jason has a background in physiology and he knows what he's talking about. He's also unusually good at sizing people up, not just physically but also mentally--how motivated they are, and how far and fast he can push them. I've seen other trainers use just one template for all of their clients, and plenty of them wind up miserable and quitting before too long. Jason actually listens, and while he'll never go easy on you, he'll tailor a routine around what it is you want to accomplish. Finally, he is exceptionally honest, flexible with time, not insistent about when you pay him, and he keeps excellent records. Not sure why I'm adding this, but I have a feeling not all trainers are like that.

I was 18 months into a lower back injury (ruptured disc) when I started working with Dr. Sam…read moreHodous. Couldn't sit for long periods of time, reduced flexibility, occasional spasms, was going through all of it. I wasn't in dire straits day to day anymore, but I was living a reduced version of a previously very active life. Which makes me so glad my orthopedic MD referred me to Dr. Sam. All I can say is that I made more progress with Sam in my first month than I had in the prior year. Not long after that and I am basically back to normal, which I had started to believe was a pipe dream. We initially did physical therapy, but now I'm seeing Sam as a personal trainer since I've basically graduated from the physical therapy component of it. For me, Dr. Sam helped me get from 70% (where I had been stuck for over a year) to 95% plus. So I can't recommend this place for anyone in a similar boat, or anyone looking for great trainers and physical therapists period!

I'm 71 and have had muscle injuries and tensions going back ten years. They were treated with…read moresurgery (and then weeks on crutches) or big physical therapy companies (less debilitating than surgery but still time consuming). Then, about two years ago, I found Performance Care Clinics, and especially Dr. Sam Hodous, in Arlington's Courthouse neighborhood. He gives me enormous amounts of his undivided attention and a lot of information, puts me through several exercises (as well as massage and dry needling), sends me videos of exercises to do in the next weeks, and follows up very well. He produces better results than surgery and the big companies while taking less of my time and money. And "Look, Ma, no crutches!" Although injuries are never fun, I actually look forward to seeing him and his colleagues.

I cannot speak highly enough of Elliot, Kevin, Ari and the entire staff at TFN. I joined the studio…read morea few months ago and have been impressed by several points: 1) The space: At first, I was taken aback that this is not a full gym, but rather a modestly sized studio. What it lacks in comparison to a larger gym, it makes up for both in focus (e.g, squats, bench press, deadlifts) and expertise (e.g., squat shoes, professional grade equipment). 2) The atmosphere: Upon arrival at the studio, I am reminded of the TV show "Cheers", where one is greeted with warm hello's and welcomes. Everybody knows your name. Also noteworthy - the other guests at the studio are of all ages and capabilities. I recall a moment where everyone stopped their own routines to cheer on a 60 year old woman as she hit her personal best in a deadlift. I had a cheering section as I struggled with a push-up challenge. It is a warm, inclusive and supportive environment. 3) The expertise: Kevin and the team have a methodical, evidence based approach to building strength and technique. He, along with Elliot, Erik and others, have helped me see the finer points of how to lift safely. Rather than piling on the plates, they make me earn the weight with good technique. We progressed through body weight and kettle bells, onto dumbbells and then Olympic bars, only advancing once I demonstrated proficiency with the technique. In addition, I engaged Ari to help me reflect on my nutrition goals and how to integrate my diet with my weight lifting. All of the staff are available online, which helps when I'm traveling. I would encourage anyone to visit TFN and take a few sessions. They effectively blend professionalism, expertise, and warmth; I am excited about my progress in a short period of time and hope you will experience the same.

Mike really knows his stuff and has been able to tailor programming to my needs very well. No cookie cutter programming here!

Highly recommend for any experience level!

This company is so knowledgeable and performance driven as it relates to diverse understanding and suitability for ensuring your needs with training is tailored to your age, performance, correct posture and stance while working out and most of all; the need to make sure all questions are answered with efficiency and proficiency. I have traveled all over the world and have engaged a plethora of trainers and coaches and I have not met a corporation who speaks and walks to the same rhythm; meaning many members but one body who's business practices yield exceptional customer service across the board, with yielding great results and a peace of mind for measurable outcomes. So please understand; if your not serious about commitment and working hard to obtain your goals, this company isn't for you but if you want results with trainers like Richard and Elin, this is the absolute best decision and investment for you health, wealth and peace of mind. I love these guys and I am trully grateful to God and to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for positioning me to find this company.

so I stayed inside for a year. I studiously avoided people because the idea of Covid truly…read morefrightened my family. If you weeks ago I got a good look in the mirror and realized just how far I had fallen out of shape. Truth be told I freaked out a little bit. Once I calm down I started doing my research. I knew that based on my age I needed to find a specific type of training. I know what to eat. I know how to "train" but i also know how to put it off "until next week". it is so easy to make excuses when you only answer to yourself but finding a program and committing to it drives me. I was really shocked at the variety of trainers. You have the rah rah coach, You have the coddler, you have the push you til you drop types etc. I lived in the gym for years. I loved it. Then kids, and age, and life became the excuses and i just quit doing it. I needed to find someone who could build on my experience and modify my workouts to my age and new goals. I no longer need to spend 2 hours workouts 5 days a week in the gym pushing way to much weight trying to be a better athlete. I spent quite a bit of time both by phone and email chatting with Elin about my goals. First thing i noticed. Elin listens. He took in the history i gave him and what i would like to achieve moving forward. Elin spent over a week digesting the info i provided on his questionnaires. He clearly was looking for the right fit. The beauty of Elin Fitness Redefined is the great and varied type and styles of trainers. Day one workout. I have a workout with Ray. He reminds me of my best workout partners from my youth. He is a lifelong athlete. His freestyle wrestling background as well as long term military service let me know immediately that i was working with a guy who would push me in the right way. Elin checked in on my at the end of each of the first 3 weeks. He didn't just ask the tired "how's it going" type of questions but rather wanted specifics just to make sure i was getting what i needed and he committed to. Client service is a big deal but i actually feel like he knows he can change lives with proper training and that starts with matching the right people. I told Elin i wanted to work for 10 weeks and see where i was. I have already seen my sessions getting more demanding and Ray tracks my rest times and my need for recovery between sets has dropped dramatically. That is so cool and it motivates me even more. I love the constant variety of exercises. little chance of getting bored here. Need a jumpstart? Call Elin. Want to be a competitive bodybuilder? Call Elin. Best time to start is today.
