When I first decided that I needed a trainer it came when I had reached an all time high in terms…read moreof weight and had just gone through an all time low in my life. Overweight, failed business, failed marriage. I had to do something! I was working in the DC area and living in GA so I decided that I needed professional help in both places. My dear friend and trainer in GA gave me a contact in VA that he thought I would like and had a similar training style. This ushered in my first experience with Rob Kreider with RK Bodies. I IMMEDIATELY knew he was the right choice for me. 1) Rob is very personable - Took time to listen to what I wanted to accomplish and gave his insight into how he could help. He made me laugh as well and made me feel very comfortable even though I was fairly new to the gym and almost 100 lbs overweight 2) Rob knows what he is doing - He took the time to put me through the paces our first 2 weeks together to assess my physical, mental and emotional state before coming up with a workout plan for me. He wanted to know how committed I was. From there he came up with a program for me and continues to adjust that based on my performance, any issues, etc. There is no cookie cutter program with him. 3) He cares - I have now been training with Rob for years. I have gained a love for weight lifting. Whenever I fall off the wagon in terms of eating properly per his plan or doing my cardio he is there to give me support, help me figure out what is going on, or just kick my butt. After hours emails or texts are always responded. I can't say enough about him. Someone you see 2 - 3 times a week that helps you with such a personal thing needs to be someone you trust and respect. He is my coach, my trainer, my sounding board and important for me... my friend. He has clients of every shape, size, sex, nationality. He meets the needs of all of those uniquely. But from my own personal experience I want to speak to ladies that are similar to me..... Ladies, if you are overweight 20, 30, 100 lbs it doesn't matter. This guy can help you. I wanted someone who was: 1) Good looking (because come on, who doesn't wanna stare at a hot trainer 3 hours a week! 2) Had a great personality that clicked with me. I need funny. I need sarcastic. I needed / need a friend 3) Had experience. Rob is a bodybuilder who knows his way around the gym and has worked with all types 4) Cared enough to treat me as a unique individual I need someone to push me so I will be with Rob as long as he will have me. I am still working toward my ultimate goal and know that when I am willing to put in the work he prescribes that I will get there.

Rob is definitely one of the best in his field. He is the trainer that can tailor make a workout…read morefor any beginner or any seasoned dual sport athlete like myself.

Been working out at EIF for just over 5 months. It's been worth every penny. I was once very active…read morein the gym and between having kids, a business or two and some prior health issues I had no shortage of excuses for skipping the gym. So I searched out a trainer and fixed appointments to both keep me motivated and frankly because I knew I'd go if I was paying more than a gym membership. I looked at many options in the area and settled on EIF based on their reputation, individualized process, the others I looked at just seemed to be too cookie cutter and cared less what I wanted from my exercise. Originally I planned on getting in the swing of things and then going back to working out on my own at a monthly gym. I now look forward to working out and plan on continuing with EIF indefinitely. Not only do the trainers keep me pushing as hard as I can but they are knowledgeable and helpful on every subject from form, to diet to helping with injuries and preventing them. I've gained muscle, lost weight, and considerably lowered my body fat. My energy levels are off the charts and it's been very easy to accommodate the timing, no more excuses to skip the gym. Joe has been very easy to work with on scheduling and tweaking my program when needed. Highly recommend working with EIF whether you want to lose weight or move more weight....or both.

The regular peloton cardio and Planet Fitness just wasn't getting me where I wanna go. This place has been fantastic so far. As someone who has never really lifted weights, the trainers and owner has been fantastic at instructing the correct way to lift. They have two major programs as well as an open gym option. The programs are led by a trainer, one being team training, one being small group training. If you have not been working out lately, you will leave gassed. You will be sore. The workouts are about an hour long. I have been going about 3-4 days a week which has given me enough time to recover between workouts. Bring a towel and water bottle, my first workout was free. They do have shower facilities if you are coming from or going to work. And bonus... the showers are clean. The folks I have met here have been super friendly and welcoming. Ownership has also been very welcoming and motivating. If your looking for a new place to workout, definitely check these guys out... so far I am very happy I did...

I admit I love to hate them during my workouts but I feel so good a little bit after they end. Mac, Emily, and Bill are fantastic!

I give any and all businesses the benefit of the doubt, even when they do me wrong. Odenton Fitness was my go to gym. I loved it here and loved the people. About a year or so ago I had gotten laid off from work. With my savings being my only source to keep my lights on, a roof over my head, and food in my refrigerator, I reached out to, what I thought was a gym focused on community and informed them of my situation and that I had to put my membership on hold. What I was told was, this is a 12 month contract and it needed to be honored. I absolutely get that, but what you're suggesting was that I opt to pay a gym bill instead of my essential bills? I didn't respect that. Then, I get a letter in the mail a few months later, from a lawyer and a bill of close to $300, with them threatening to sue. So they added monthly payments even tho my keycard was no longer active and I wasn't able to attend. Lol. All because I had misfortune of being laid off. Well the bill is paid Odenton Fitness. And I know you probably don't care, but you lost a pretty active member of your community that brought your business more business as 5 of my friends joined off of the strength of me. And I have been rehired. For about a year now. But I will never visit a facility that treats people in a time of need the way I was treated. I wish Yelp allowed me to give you zero stars.
