Alex (the owner) is my trainer now - I work out with him 3 times per week. He is among the most knowledgeable professionals in the business! In my two months with RedZone, i have seen my neck and shoulder pain disappear through a very focused training regimen. Alex also works with my Physical Therapist to tailor workouts to my needs! I would highly recommend RedZone fitness for either one-on-one personal training, their bootcamps, or any other service they would provide.

I've worked in the fitness industry for over a decade -- as a trainer, group exercise instructor,…read moreand fitness center manager -- so you could say I have an above average understanding of what separates a great trainer from a so-so trainer. Alex is unquestionably one of those rare trainers who understand both the psychological and practical aspects of training. He is quick to tune into the personalities of his clients and push/encourage them accordingly, and he isn't rigid in his training approach -- if you want to skip or modify an exercise, he is happy to adjust the workout. His compliments are genuine, and he never judges you for failing to finish an exercise, resting, or confessing to a bad week of eating. Finally, I enjoy the style of the workouts he provides for me. Lots of creative exercises and new twists, yet all very functional. And because his exercises tend to utilize multiple muscle groups, they provide a full-body workout -- you definitely get your cardio in addition to strength training, which is great for anyone who is crunched for time!

And if I ever need to cancel last minute, their policy is super fair and doesn't hit my wallet hard. All the trainers are awesome - with a well deserved shout-out to Aubrey for being incredible at making sure I'm using the right form, so I get the most out of every workout and stay injury-free. No matter how packed my schedule is or how lengthy my excuses for not "feeling like a morning person" may be on a particular day, there's always a class time that fits. The workouts are tough, but I leave feeling like I've truly accomplished something. If you're looking to level up your fitness game in a supportive, stress-free environment, this is the place.

So I did the 2 week Groupon here at the Gaithersburg Soldierfit. Let me tell you I went EVERYDAY…read moreexcept for Saturdays because I work from 9am to 5pm and their class schedule did not work with mine. Here is what I thought. Location: Not so great, parking is HORRIBLE! lol The way they time their classes? parking is always filled up with gym members who are finishing up with workout and then everyone that is trying to make it to class on time are scrambling outside to find a good spot to park. Since they tow you want to make sure you are in an authorized spot. If you don't make it to the warm up? You cannot do the class! remember that. lol If class ends at 6:30pm and starts at 6:30pm? How can people leave and enter? They need to fix that. Make it 6:40pm. It will make a BIG difference. I have been working for Golds gym and thats how classes ran so much more smoothly. Size of gym: Kinda small honestly. At 6:20pm They have a kid class that is right next to the group workout area. They have little kids running with the adults during the warm up. My kids tried out the class and they thought it was "ok". They did not like running in the middle of room with the adults. (They were kind of scared to get hit) Teachers? They were GREAT!! Really pushed me and everyone in the class. If you have bad knees? Honestly? this s not good for you. Even if you go to a knee class? these work outs are going to mess up your knees over time. I went 6 days a week and I could tell the difference. If anything? Just stretch well afterwards. Pricing? Is pretty high! Its about $70/80/month for unlimited classes. I think if you had a personal trainer? its worth getting rid of the trainer and coming here. But its still high if your just looking for a gym alternative. Overall Soliderfit is a good place if you are looking for a push. Parking is terrible and the timing of class is not convenient for members at all to my opinion. The staff is great! Rigo is super friendly and has a warm approach! Never met Antione but he did help me over the phone. The two guys that work the front desk (signing in) were super friendly too!! Great customer service. If the pricing and schedule worked more with my circumstances? I would have definitely signed up.

So initially I came in because I heard that Eric won best of Bethesda, but I was still nervous. One…read moreof my big pet peeves is a personal trainer yelling in your face to give you 10 more, especially if they cannot tell that a weight is too heavy for you or you are physically incapable to do the task at hand. While he does push you to keep going, he can also tell when you need the break. He will also talk about other distracting things so your mind is not in the painful push-ups you are doing. It really makes a difference to have a personable trainer instead of someone screaming in your face to give you the extra 10. All in all, AWESOME workout by Eric. This is more than a compliment as I am big runner and I can definitely work out for hours without issues. But Eric gave me a run for my money. There were so many different routines that I felt challenged but never bored. We pulled ropes, we did lunges, we did ab workouts and weight training. He really will customize a workout for you. For me, he made sure to work my entire body finished with abs & stretching. He also told me about the isagenix detox that can help me lose 7-10 lbs in 11 days as he is a believer that no weight training is completed without a diet. I am really excited to try it out and go back for my next session.

He wants his clients to work hard in addition to having the proper techniques and form to avoid injury. Once the form is mastered, then the difficulty rises according to comfortability. He was willing to even set out dietary recommendations for me to help me have long-term success. I have lost 30 lbs since I first started training with Joel and have not looked back since. My set goals that once seemed unattainable are in clear view. His drive infuses your drive and you have the tenacity to not quit, but to do it everyday, with no excuses.
