I decided to try this yoga studio as i felt like my body has been stiffed for a few days even with…read moreproper stretching. I made two of my girlfriends come with me and we signed up for the Vinayasa on Wednesday at 6:30PM. As i entered the studio i felt a welcome from the guy at the front desk. The lounge area is inviting and also clean. I had to fill up some paper work since i was a first time student. The yoga instructor was Karen, she was welcoming and told us to get some mats, blocks, and blankets. The class was what i expected from a Vinayasa class as it focuses on slow movement and deep stretching. At the end of the class during the Savasana , karen walked around and gave some lavender oil as its calming and help to slow down and relax during the meditation period. I enjoyed the class, Karen was helpful and knowledgeable . Definitively recommend this studio

Amine also makes an effort to connect with all his members and has truly created a strong community environment. I enjoy training hard here, but I also really enjoy the people.

Amine brings an incredible wealth of knowledge and I hope he continues to expand in the DMV area!!!!

I was surprised by Kelly's email I received the morning of March 23rd in regards to her dropping me…read moreas a client because my response time was not to her liking. She gave me no warning and didn't inquire about why I didn't respond in a timely fashion. Obviously, her lack of empathy for her clients is on full display, despite her telling me that she cared about your client's success and fitness goals. Her inability to properly address me on March 14th and March 21st requesting my weight, showed no respect for me as a client. She didn't address me by my name, ask me how I was doing, or ask me how was my day. For example, March 14th e-mail read, "You didn't send your weight yesterday". That email was so unprofessional. Greeting and asking about a client's day may seem trivial to her but in the world of decency and respect, it shows some personal short comings on her part. I have two co-workers who live in the city of Alexandria who are looking for a Personal Trainer and wanted to know the outcome of working with Kelly. Clearly, they won't be signing up! In hindsight, her decision to drop me as a client is good for me, because I don't want to work with anyone with her issues.

I met with Kelly for the first time in May after I had hit a wall with trying to lose weight on my…read moreown for my September wedding. We focused on nutrition and I learned how to better manage my food intake in a healthy and sustainable way (I think I was actually eating too little before meeting with Kelly). In the past 4 months with her, I've lost 25 pounds and 12% body fat! I feel stronger and am absolutely thrilled with where I am for my wedding (I've actually had to alter my dress because it was too lose). Highly recommend for anyone wanting an encouraging and motivational partner in this journey. Even though I've done a lot of work in the past with other trainers and had an idea of how to meet my goals, Kelly was able to give me specific direction based on my personal needs. I definitely wouldn't have been able to do this without her and I expect to continue working with her in the future.
