Very friendly and welcoming place. I've worked with Mike for a few weeks now and he has taught me a ton! Mike really knows his stuff and has been able to tailor programming to my needs very well. No cookie cutter programming here! I initially sought out training at TFN because I was having some pain with lifting, and Mike tweaked my technique and gave me lots of helpful cues that helped me to lift pain free so I can keep getting stronger. Highly recommend for any experience level! read more

I started lifting when I was in the army, sometime around 2006 and have always kinda "done my own thing" for many years since. Eventually, I started peaking out strength wise, and no matter what I did, I just seemed to be stuck. I simply figured that I wasn't ever going to get any stronger and that was that. That being said, in October of 2013, one of my (much stronger) friends had told me about checking out True Fitness because the trainers were also powerlifters and really know their stuff. I had the initial meeting with Elliot White who basically told me that my form was terrible and that I need to start all over again, but with guidance and lots of effort on my part, I would be considerably stronger than I was. I ended up going for it, and it was one of the best decision I could have ever made. Since then, I've almost doubled my strength, my flexibility is pretty amazing (especially given than I'm a pretty big at 250lbs) and I just feel great every day. I've gotten a lot more serious about my lifting, I've learned to eat much better than I used to, I've almost completely given up alcohol, and I'm even thinking about doing my first competition in April of 2014, something I had NEVER ever considered. Quite simply, my life changed for the better. If you've ever been curious about powerlifting, just need your form checked out, or just want to feel better about yourself without doing a ridiculous diet or anything, this is definitely the place to check out. read more

Honestly I just came to buy a belt from one of the trainers/coach there thinking that would be it, but I ended up leaving there a client. Personally, I wasn't interested or really planning on getting a coach because I thought I knew a lot about the ins and outs of lifting. Kevin asked me to have a training session with him and I agreed because I thought it would be pretty cool to lift with a guy like him. While there I went through my normal warmup routine to work up to a heavy single on deadlifts then doing back off sets. I was then told by Kevin that I was yanking on the bar which I didn't think I was. He proceeded to then tell me everything that was wrong with my form, knowing of his extensive background, I wasn't going to tell him that he was wrong. He pulled me aside and basically retaught me all the basics of a proper deadlift form from bracing all the way to pulling. I was so impressed by the end of this that I ended up booking a one on one session with him to fix my form for my other main lifts. Kevin himself, has a strong background, having competed on a national stage and multiple high level competitions in his elite powerlifting career. He has helped me fixed my form for all my main lifts, it is still work in progress to break my old habits, but I feel a lot stronger and more fluid in my movements. Kevin is dedicated to his craft and has a sharp eye to point out flaws and fix them in his clients to deliver the best results. The gym itself isn't the largest space around however it is meant for clients and isn't an open gym. It offers the best equipment around for their clients to borrow and use for their training from belts (lever and prong), bands, squat shoes, calibrated plates, collars, competition racks etc. Even though I've only been with Kevin as my coach, I can tell from seeing the other trainers that they genuinely care and are dedicated to helping and improving their clients in any way they can. Every single person is here incredibly qualified to do their job and I would recommend True Fitness and Nutrition to anyone out there. read more

This review is overdue but it's five stars for True Fitness and Nutrition and specifically, Kevin Nguyen. As a previous client of TFN, I had gone off on my own and lifted successfully for a few years until a recent issue with my shoulder cropped up. Back to TFN for a check-in. Injuries in weightlifting come primarily from two things: lifting more than you should or poor form, the latter probably being the biggest problem. I had a nagging soreness and weakness in my left shoulder and couldn't increase my weights in barbell press or bench press. Kevin quickly assessed the problems with my form and then laid out some basic shoulder exercises to rehab the shoulder. Two months later I have no pain in my shoulder and have increased my bench press by 40 pounds and military press by at least 20%. TFN is for everyone - those who know weightlifting, those who think they do (like me but get proven wrong by incorrect form and practices) and those who know nothing and are looking to start. Don't be intimidated by the strong bodies of the TFN staff - they are a bunch of softies on the inside (basic good, nice people) who just love what they do and want to share it with everyone. read more

TFN - what a great place to be, with such friendly, professional & dedicated bunch of people! I haven't worked out in over 6 years. My body was in so much pain from walking, standing, sitting, getting out of a chair, or sitting down, you name it. I felt like I was at the end of my rope. I thought I was going to live the rest of my life as an invalid. But Justine had more faith in me than I did myself! She worked with me, pushed me, encouraged me, text me to tell me how great I am doing! I see her at least twice a week, sometimes 3 times a week. After less than a month, I no longer limp! My posture is better, I can push the prowler with 50lb weight on it! I was so proud when Justine put my name on the board. She taught me how to do all the things I didn't think I can do anymore. I love the grueling work outs. The other day, I sat Indian style for the first time in 3 years without pain! I felt like crying. Many of the routines Justine shows me I can practice at home without fancy equipment. I will turn 61 this year, she makes me feel like I am still in my 30s. Justine, you are a godess! Then, she introduced me to Jenn! What a God-sent Jenn turned out to be! Without her nutritional/behavioral advise I would not have benefited as much from my training. She guides me ever so gently, without judging. Made me realize that I can change many habits & lead a healthier life. I am so energized & inspired after I have a visit with them. Justine & Jenn are so knowledgeable in their field, I feel like I am covered on all sides! And they always tell me "I got you covered!" And I trust that they have my best interest in mind. TFN is like a home away from home for me, even though it's a 40 min drive! While I train with Justine, all the trainers there know me. They always say hello, cheer me on when they see me working out. I love it there. But that's not all, after all the hard work, you have to get a massage from Kyori! Talk about being in heaven. Kyori can get you very close to it. Thank you TFN! Didn't mean to write so much. But i can go on forever. You guys are the best! read more

Super comfortable place to work out with friendly and effective trainers. Saw very quick results with Reggie and would recommend him to anyone. read more

When it comes to personal training services I am a hard sell, it always seemed to be a sales pitch. That all changed when I started seeing Elliott at True Fitness and Nutrition. I have never felt more supported in meeting my strength and weight loss goals. Elliott and Kim are both committed to my success. I my two years working with Elliott and Kim I have lost nearly 65lbs and can complete a series of weight lifting exercises with perfect technique. As I move into my third year with Elliott as my personal trainer I have never felt more confident. I know I will exceed my goals on all fronts this year, and Elliott's support and constant dedication to me as a client but also a friend. Everyone should stop in to see the dedicated staff at True Fitness and Nutrition, let them help you improve your health and life like they did for me. read more

True Fitness and Nutrition is an amazing place. It is full of energy, good people, and industry knowledge. The facility houses enough equipment needed to train anyone; no matter the goal. TFN has an office for nutritional counseling, a massage table for massages from their in studio massage therapist, and their line of offerings also includes program design and coaching. Essentially, TFN left no stone unturned. The most impressive offering of all though, are the trainers that train there. I have trained with Dylan Smith and his specialties include strength training, weight loss, and back injury clients. He creates custom workouts for his clients and makes their goals, his goals. Kim, Elliott and Max are all a pleasure to interact with. Being a TFN client is an investment in your body and mind. read more

The new year is right around the corner and TFN is the place you want to be! You won't find a more comprehensive approach to your overall wellness than what you will get at TFN. All the trainers are top notch so you are more than in good hands. This is NOT just any training studio--they also provide coaching for powerlifting, weightlifting, and strongman (even virtual coaching!). The facility is a USAPL training center with some of the finest equipment around. All the staff and clients are friendly and welcoming. Elliot is my powerlifting coach and he is superb. I like to understand the why and how of my training, he always takes time to explain and educate. TFN is where it's at. read more

I am currently working with Elliott for strength training and coaching, and have been for some time now. He has an excellent teaching methodology and has helped me make tremendous gains in strength and flexibility. I've been a serious powerlifter for five years now and, even though I knew going into coaching with him that Elliott knew his stuff, I was very surprised at the immediate improvement in my lifts after a coaching session. What I really like about TFN is their dedication to helping their clients achieve whatever goal they put forth. If you want to lose body fat, they can help. If you want to be enormously big and strong, they can help, If you're older and just want to get some mobility and quality of life back, they can help. They don't judge, they just assist. I've encountered many trainers in my life that have a mindset of "My way or the highway!!!" Not so here. In addition, as a result of working with them I can say that I know Elliott and Kim on a personal level as well and they are both extremely upstanding individuals who I am proud to call friends. read more

I cannot speak highly enough of Elliot, Kevin, Ari and the entire staff at TFN. I joined the studio a 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. read more

For the first time since the 1970's, we live in an era where lifting weights is becoming cool again. Lucky enough for the millions of people who only train according to the latest fitness-fads, this is a good thing. Unless of course you're into random exercises, chronic injuries, and flopping around like a dying fish while some golf-shirt bro yells at you to hit "one more rep (see: 'Crossfit'). If that's your thing, there's plenty of classes and boot-camps that will gladly rip you off for an overpriced membership, and help you make reverse-progress. However, there is an oasis among the barren wasteland of fitness-fallacy around us today. As a powerlifter, a true Foodsman, and a wildly successful venture-capitalist, I know a great business when I see one. This brings us to True Fitness and Nutrition, located in Mclean, Virginia. True FN is not a health-club, a "box", or a physical therapy facility. It's a private studio staffed only by those who actually walk-the-talk. The staff are as friendly and inviting as they come, but can also probably lift your stupid Smart Car off the ground and out-sprint you in flip flops. I'd consider them to be real coaches, not health-club trainers. As a bonus, they even bring their cute dog, Buffy, to keep an eye on things, along with her silly-looking friend Daisy. Who doesn't like having cute dogs around? It's my professional opinion that the only people who DON'T like cute dogs around are sociopaths (see: 'Crossfit'). Now, more importantly, back to my story. As a life-long Liftsman and Iron-Slinger, the squat is a very important movement to me. However, there came a time, as I began learning how to actually execute the movement and squat more frequently, that I couldn't hit a squat without feeling like there were knives digging into my hips. I chalked it up to "Bad Hips", and a doctor diagnosed it as a possible labrum injury. I was then referred to a "great physical therapist" (who coincidentally shared a practice with my doctor), and I began seeing him three times a week. For the low price of two-hundred and fifty bucks a visit, billed to my insurance company, this man would have me do some side-steps, stretch me out, put a bag of ice on my hips (which they billed as "cold therapy"), and then tell me that lifting heavy weights is dangerous. Thanks a ton Doc, but if I wanted the Blues Clues version of fitness I'd still be watching Saturday morning cartoons. Maybe I could kick you an extra fifty bucks to suggest I eat more vegetables, and make sure I know that smoking is bad? Needless to say it didn't work. I had to refrain from squatting for months, and started to plan out a surgery for an issue that, turns out, didn't even exist. Luckily I made an appointment with Kim at True FN. If you don't know her, Kim is a former powerlifter who snapped her shit up really bad over and over, and was told that she could never lift again. She had all kinds of wild treatments done, and was pretty much considered a lost cause. She then proceeded to learn an absurd amount about the human body, and study something called Neurokinetic Therapy (aka, "Kim Voodoo"). Long story short, she was able to lift again, after getting fixed up with these new-found techniques. Ever since then, she's been putting broken people back together, and successfully stressing herself out by signing up for ten million classes to improve her craft (great for clients, hectic for Kim). I can't really explain NKT, so I'll just tell it through the eyes of a visionary (me). Kim plopped me down on a table, and started poking around my hips and moving my legs in all sorts of weird ways. She would have me apply pressure and try to resist hers, jab her thumbs deep into my hips (which hurt like hell by the way, because of how jacked-up they were), and had me try to balance in weird ways. I had no idea what was going on (and still don't, in general). By the end of the session, we repeated all of the movements that I couldn't do in the beginning; and it worked. I could squat without pain, and felt like all of the muscles were actually firing again. She sent me going with some homework, and taught me how to "de-compress" my hips (which was causing the chainsaw feeling during a squat), and strengthen the weak areas. A few weeks after that, I squatted 315 for the first time ever (a 75 lb personal record), and then squatted an easy 380 in competition after that. Pain free (no surgery required). PRO TIP: Squatting 380 is really not all that sweet, but considering I couldn't squat 135 without pain 6 months prior, I'll take it. I'm not one to advocate for anything "new age" or remotely "granola". I can't stand that shit, and I scoff at the thought of "all-natural anything". I don't care about GMO's, I hate Whole Foods, and I won't eat Chinese food unless it has tons of MSG. To this day I have no idea what Kim is doing for NKT, PDTR (her new thing), or XYZ. Whatever. All I know is that when my arms hurt from holding ba read more

Elliot is a.great coach, very knowledgeable in all areas fitness. I have many other friends who hws has helped with recovery and created training plans. Elliot is my powerlifting coach and his knowledge has hugely improved my form and added a signifigant amount of weight to my lifts. I would recommend him to anyone with almost any fitness goal. read more

I recenty inquired about coaching for powerlifting. For my specific need, my coach (Dylan) definitely seemed knowledgeable from the beginninng and observant. I believe his process and it's hard for me to believe something so quickly, so kudos to him! The facility was amazing too, with every possible piece of equipment for strength training. The entire staff was beyond kind and all were literally lifting my first day, so you know they know what they're talking about. read more

Dylan, Jenn, & Elliot have all helped in getting my 42 year old broken body back to the fitness and strength level of when I was an 18 year old Marine. They are all extremely knowledgable professionals but can let loose and make it a fun atmosphere. TFN offerers personal services to clients of all ages, athletic abilities, and fitness experiences. read more

Dylan has been my trainer for the past 9 months. in my first session I explained to him that I was turning 50 in December and wanted to get my strength back and gain more muscle. I had a lot of neck and back pain and could barely do one bench push up. During these past 9 months what I have learned from Dylan I will use the rest of my life-proper foam rolling, stretching, and most importantly proper technique when using weights and kettle bells. I learn something new every session. I feel so much stronger now and can do push ups and chin ups. Last week I was able to front squat 105 pounds with perfect form. I am trap bar deadlifting in the 200 pound range now. My goal was to feel fit when I turn 50 and I am already ahead of schedule! All I can say is being strong feels great and less aches and pains even better! If you want to change your life call Dylan at True Fitness and Nutrition. read more

The TFN team is amazing! They are extremely professional, knowledgeable, and supportive. They offer many programs and training options to fit your needs. Their passion for fitness and wellness is infectious. I have had the pleasure of working with both Elliott and Jenn, and would recommend both of them for your first session. read more

True Fitness is great. I have worked out with Dylan for over 4 years - following him from other gyms. He is an amazing trainer. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. He has been wonderful at tailoring my workouts to fit within the limitations I have from an old knee injury, while still helping me get stronger. Because of him I have been able to achieve and maintain my fitness goals. True fitness is a nice facility, and the entire staff are friendly and welcoming. Earlier this year, I started working with Jenn to fine tune the nutrition piece of the puzzle, and to improve my overall fitness. Her approach is a little different from other nutritionists, and she helps you make the incremental changes to ensure success. Each small victory helps motivate for the next. Can't say enough good things about TFN! read more

It is tough to find trainers both knowledgeable and willing to teach Olympic/"Oly" lifts. Elliott is the man when it comes to finding a trainer to teach you and then better you at the snatch and the clean and jerk. There are a couple reasons why Elliott is better than the "typical" trainer. First, he exercises the optimal balance of constructive criticism and encouragement. I'm not there to have my self-esteem inflated or to be coddled. If I make a lift but the mechanics are off, Elliott will call me out on it. If I hit a PR, Elliott is genuinely happy for me, which makes me feel that he's personally invested in my success. Second, he knows his stuff. He didn't learn Oly lifting from a book; he has competed at meets and is knowledgeable about the training regimens and lifting techniques of professional athletes. Elliott's greatest value is his uncanny ability to break down subtle mechanical flaws in my lift . Oly lifts are highly technical lifts and I don't have the experience to know what went wrong for every time that I miss. He is very patient and clear at explaining things to me and knows the answers to the questions that I have. Additionally, Elliott does not nickel and dime me on the one-hour sessions that we have scheduled. It's tough to fit in a full practice session of snatches and clean and jerks in one hour so our sessions typically run ~10-15 min over. He also allows me to come in 15 min early to stretch. I've come to appreciate this leeway because it shows that he cares about my success more than money on the clock. In 3-4 months, both my snatch and C&J numbers have increased by ~70-80 lbs. My goal coming in was to hit a bodyweight snatch at year-end and it 's looking like I'll get there much sooner. The facility itself is nice, clean, and brightly-lit. I've met and talked to Dylan and Jen, two other trainers, and they are also both friendly people. I highly recommend this small business over a big box gym to anyone looking to start or improve their Oly lifts. read more

Bottom line up front: train with Dylan Smith. As an Army Infantry officer, I need to be fit 100% of the time. While I'm involved in daily physical fitness training with my unit, it's just not enough when it comes to the raw strength and power needed to successfully execute daily missions in hostile environments and complete physically-demanding specialty schools. Trainer Dylan Smith has provided me with the programming and one-on-one coaching needed to be both physically and mentally tough. His effort over the years has directly led to my success at ranger school and a 9-month combat deployment to Afghanistan. If you're looking for someone to program around your life and your needs, look no further. read more

True Fitness and Nutrition is the best of the best. I can honestly say that being around such supportive and dedicated people has pushed me to become a better lifter and live a healthier life. If it wasn't for Dylan I would not of had the courage (and strength) to compete in my first powerlifting competition, let alone lift weights in general. I never even knew how to sit down into a squat until he taught me! Before working with him I thought working out was just running on a treadmill and skipping meals to be skinny- no wonder I didn't come close to having a healthy body or mentality. He has helped me with my nutrition along with programming my workouts, showing me how to properly fuel my body. Dylan has been an amazing coach to me and I recommend him to anyone who wants to turn their goals into realities. read more

It's a one stop shop. I can get everything I need done if I want it! The staff here are so amazingly educated. I really enjoy everything they have to offer. I will continue to see my trainer/nutrition adviser, Kim Limon, for as long as she will have me! read more

TFN staff are professionals and are serious about fitness. They are also personal and good natured. It is a very different experience from working out at a franchise gym. I actually look forward to my workouts! read more

Was fortunate enough to get a movement assessment and technical work on the powerlifting movements (squat, benchpress, deadlift) with Coach Kevin Nguyen. I have experience with the barbell movements for a few years now, but in just one session with Kevin, we were able to deconstruct all three of my lifts in excruciating detail. He made me more aware of my body's natural movement pattern and thus allowed me to be a more efficient athlete and move pain-free. My eyes were opened to so many nuances and cues that I never would have considered had I not sought out a coach. I think it would suffice to say that if you place a premium on efficient movement as an athlete or human being, executing your lift properly, or just minimizing pain in movement, you have to see Kevin at True FN. Not only was he able to teach while making certain I understood everything as we went along, his enthusiasm and passion for his craft is infectious. The environment makes you want to come back and improve. I cannot recommend Kevin Nguyen and True Fitness & Nutrition enough! read more

I have been working out at TF&N since September. I had nutrition counseling with Jenn (lost 20 lbs) and tried to be consistent with training three times a week with Max. Last night, for NYE I wore a sleeveless dress and a woman mentioned the tone and definition in my arms! I raved about TF&N! It's worth every penny. read more

I see Dylan at True Fitness and Nutrition and have followed him here from other gyms. Dylan is very knowledgeable in physiology, weight training, nutrition, and motivation! He is extremely good at pushing me to reach personal goals and develop healthier habits (both in and out of the gym) while also being very encouraging and supportive. He will welcome you wherever you are at (looking to drop weight, wanting to gain strength, feeling skeptical about whether training is going to make a difference) and work with you closely and you will see and feel a difference! I am much stronger now than I have ever been in my life! read more

I love True Fitness and Nutrition! The staff is all very nice, helpful and informative. Its in a great location and in an intimate setting with one on one training that you will not find anywhere else! When it comes to personal training services this is the place to go and the trainers to get! I have been working with Dylan since June and his knowledge, education and expertise has been so helpful and beneficial to my health and the goals that I want to achieve. I didn't know anything when it came to strength training and fueling your body and Dylan has been patient when working with me, making sure that I know what I am doing and I am doing it in proper form. He has also helped me with my nutrition - which we all know goes hand in hand with working out. I have made tremendous gains in strength and flexibility that I never knew I could achieve. They are all very passionate about what they do and the confidence they have when educating you that I have never felt more supported. read more

Give up your cardio machines and start getting strong with TFN like I did! My friend and I started working with Jenn about 8 months ago. I see Jenn once a week and workout 2-3 additional days at home per a program she designs for me. All the trainers are great because they teach you proper form so you get the most out of the exercises and don't get injured. They are all super friendly and know how to keep you motivated. I'm definitely seeing results. I'm much stronger and no longer have back pain. Working with Jenn has been instrumental in making exercise a priority in my life and improving my overall health. read more

We have been going to True Fitness and Nutrition since the end of 2015. Justine has been our personal trainer. She has been professional, knowledgeable, and very patient, which is necessary for a couple of people in their mid-60's. She pushes us hard but has been sensitive to the fact that I have had quintuple by-pass. Justine does an excellent job of communicating with us regarding reminders for appointments and she has been flexible when we had to change our times. She is pleasant, fun to work with and is a great motivator. It's not been easy but it's definitely been good. All the trainers we've met have been exceptional. We feel True Fitness and Nutrition has been a great find and can whole heartedly recommend it. read more

We love Max! Max trains my two sons, ages 13 and 10. Max has really increased their strength, agility, and most importantly, confidence. Cannot recommend Max highly enough. Thanks Max! read more

I've been working out with the trainers at TFN since they opened. I've been impressed with the attention to detail Jenn puts into every workout. She has pushed and motivated me to do more than I ever thought was possible. I can lift heavy things!! Jenn has helped with nutrition as well. Love these guys. read more

I love Jenn. She is the best fitness instructor I have ever met. I am impressed with the progress I made after a few sessions working with Jenn, and it is mostly due to her ability to teach proper form while making the workout really enjoyable. Her knowledge and patience makes me feel comfortable to ask questions during our training, which gives me confidence to reach for bigger challenges. The studio is very welcoming, professional and yet relaxed. It truly makes me feel at home. read more

If you want to get better, you have to check out True Fitness and Nutrition. Elliott and the rest of the TFN crew are great, personable experts who are truly committed to helping you get stronger, more mobile, leaner and healthier. In addition to the clarity and simplicity of their approach, another thing that sets TFN apart is that they train themselves just as hard as their clients. Doubt it? Come join us at the TFN Barbell Club one Friday night or Sunday afternoon, where we'll be killing it! Do yourself a favor and get to True Fitness. read more

Max has been an effective trainer in both an individual and group setting for my 8 and 11 year old children. He is able to engage, motivate and challenge them. One on one, Max has been able to assist my son who runs flat footed and whose ankles roll in. He has been able to give him advice and guidance on proper technique and has helped develop his overall athleticism and confidence. I highly recommend Max! read more

This is no ordinary gym. Everyone here is a professional trainer skilled in working with people of any age and body condition. I am 61 years old and looking to improve my body and my health. I've tried every kind of exercise you can imagine in my lifetime. In just a short time period, I already feel better! I am learning exercises geared specifically to me and my needs. This is a gem of a studio and I highly recommend it. read more

This fitness facility is the most comprehensive place I've ever tried. The trainers are amazingly skilled. Calm, intelligent, and so adept in their field. They know how to use exercises and simple changes in body position to relieve pain in my joints. Their massage therapist is so skilled at removing the tension in your body, I would go every week if I could! They pay attention to you as a person and deliver the quality assistance that I have always looked for in a gym. read more

TFN will change your life. The knowledgable, friendly, and hardworking staff have created an environment for success. The flexible and accommodating schedules of the staff as well as their overt dedication to fitness and an overall healthy lifestyle assist clients in reaching and maintaining individual health and fitness goals. From day one, Jen made me, a 47-year-old, full-time working mother of 3 elementary school children, feel comfortable and welcome. She told me that we would work hard and that I would see results. I had no idea. Working with Jen has not only greatly improved my physical health, but has also had a significant positive impact on my mental health and overall well-being. I highly recommend TFN, particularly Jen, if you're ready to get real results from your workout. read more

The entire team at TFN has been great to work with since I began over a year ago. Through their support and encouragement I have gained confidence in my strength and techniques in the gym. Jen, Elliott and the whole crew are professional and are genuinely thrilled with every step along the way. read more

I have been training with Dylan for 14 months. I started lifting with him after obtaining a minor musculoskeletal injury due to incorrect deadlift form. From day one, he has been extremely diligent about emphasizing proper technique over the number on the bar, and because of this, he has helped me improve both my form and the amount of weight I can move immensely. The programming he provides is fun and challenging, and he is always readily available to look at lifting videos and provide helpful feedback. His coaching is tough, but I have truly seen how hard work and listening to what he says pays off. I always look forward to the days I lift with Dylan at TFN's studio because I know I will always learn something new. Additionally, Dylan's meet day coaching is second to none. Thanks to his programming and coaching, I was extremely prepared for my first competition, where, thanks to his stellar handling on meet day, I went 9/9 and won my weight class. Dylan's coaching has truly changed my life and made me a better person in all areas of my life. Whether you are a serious powerlifter or just looking to gain some confidence and strength in any area of your life, I would highly recommend looking into working with Dylan. He is a fantastic coach and person, and I look forward to preparing for my next competition - and beyond - under his guidance. It is also worth mentioning that the entire staff of TFN is great. Everyone is always willing to lend a helping hand in whatever way that may be. They are a solid group of folks who are so nice, and a great example of what true athleticism and strength should look like in the often misguided fitness industry. The atmosphere at TFN is welcoming and upbeat, whether you are lifting there to hit a PR or just get your workout in. This gym, and the people within it, is truly a hidden gem. read more
