I discovered Erik offered self-defense classes a couple years ago and decided my daughter and I…read moreshould at least know the basics. He is incredibly knowledgeable, an amazing teacher, and really fun to work with. He set up real life scenarios for us to work through and wore a protective suit so that we could actually practice on him using the SPEAR technique he taught us to defend ourselves. I've also taken his fighter fitness class which is a challenging and fun workout that incorporates fighting techniques with weight training and cardio. My husband and I also used Erik as our personal trainer to get in tip top shape for our wedding. He focused on areas of my body I wanted in optimal shape for the one shoulder, knee length dress I was wearing for my big day (arms, shoulders, and calves). At 45, I never looked better my whole life. Erik is quick to listen to your needs, concerns, and fitness goals and customizes personal workouts accordingly and gets you SERIOUS results. My mother, while in her 70's, went to Erik when she lived in the area and absolutely LOVED working out with him! The first time she went, he did a fitness assessment to get a baseline of her fitness level. She went down for a squat, but couldn't get up and fell over. By week 2, she was doing weighted squats with him. He is patient, but pushes you past what you think you are able to do. FYI, he ignores whining (I know this from personal experience) and when you complain/whine, expect to hear him tell you, "You'll be fine." And you are. His results are real and he tracks your progress. His gym is located in a detached garage from his home. It is a very professional set up with ample, top notch equipment. His gym is neat, clean, and super organized. I also think it's notable, he always plays great music while you workout. If you need a personal trainer, want to learn self-defense, or interested in fitness with an emphasis on combative techniques, search no more. Dare I say you won't find anyone in the area close to Erik's level of expertise. Give him a try and see for yourself!

I was impressed with Vint Hill Yoga & Fitness. Really enjoyed the Warrior Rythym class led by Dana…read more I like that they offer more than just yoga. Love the location. Perfect buddy outing; yoga/fitness class, lunch, shopping, and beer/wine all next to each other.

Lori is a gem! Having never taken a Pilates class, I didn't know what to expect and was skeptical…read morethat I would stick with it. That was two years ago. Lori made Pilates fun and something that I look forward to every week. She is a patient, honest, and thoughtful instructor, who motivates and works with me to achieve my goals. Bottom line, I am stronger and healthier because of Lori's exceptional guidance. Liesl C.

I really love this studio.

I have been a member of Pure Barre since 2019, at the Lorton/…read moreFairfax Station location. The studio was close to home and the workouts were challenging. Two months ago they decided to close the studio with one day notice to their clients. The management swiftly transferred everyone to the Burke studio. This was unfortunate because the travel time with construction was not feasible. I asked to freeze my account for a month while we traveled, but they still managed to charge for another month! While I was away I decided to cancel my membership instead of freezing for another month. I was told they would refund the charges to my account. However, the story changed once I cancelled my membership fully. They seem to change the rules to their benefit with no regard to their loyal customers. Mind you, I stayed with the studio during COVID and joining workouts in the parking lot! I never froze my account, and actually encouraged my family and friends to join Pure Barre. In the end, my dedication to the company of Pure Barre meant nothing to them and they stole a full month of charges without any regret. I would never deal with a company like this again, and I hope you don't either, because they don't care about you or your fitness journey, they will change the rules and the days they charge your account so you will always lose and they will win. Pure Barre should be ashamed of themselves for running the business with such disregard for those who have stayed loyal to them thru the years. I RECOMMEND NO ONE JOIN PURE BARRE NOW OR IN THE FUTURE.

Tucked away in the back of the parking lot, when you first enter you can smell the incense. Ample room for 16+ people to yoga, meditate, etc. They have lots of yoga mats, cushions, and block pillows avail for use. Studio is clean which I know is very important. I've attended a few soundbath meditations and experiences here. Definitely unique and much needed experience if you're looking to do something different than bar-hopping, drinking, eating out, or clubbing in DC.

This is the exact type of place that I'm looking for, there's no good hot yoga in the area and they have individual saunas that offer privacy but also all sorts of different workouts with virtual instructors and can be accessed 24/7 for members so makes it super convenient for me to do my favorite workout on my time. For a busy professional woman who doesn't have a lot of time to workout this place is exactly what I need! Can't wait!
