While I was enrolled in Small Group Training, my experience was more like working with a Personal Trainer. From TRX, to Weight LIfting, to Kettlebells and Medicine Balls and a myriad of different training modalities, you were sure to get Strong and Fit at Exsurgo. Immie Cross, an Elite Spartan Racer, a Les Mills International Trainer and Instructor, is such a caring and compassionate trainer. Whether you want to train for an Obstacle Course Race, or just improve your overall health, this is a great place to train with personalized attention that you cannot get at every gym. The community built there is so welcoming and supportive!

She started working with Greg in late fall, and in the few months since she's been training with him, her entire brain space and outlook, as well as her athletic capability, has changed. She's faster, she's stronger, and she's able to do things better than she could before she hurt herself. She feels capable and confident in her sport now. Greg treats her with respect, and courtesy, while not letting her slack off. He's not only trained her, he's taught her HOW to train. How to lift, how to move, how to recover. The foundation my kid now has is incomparable, and her outlook on herself has improved, thanks to Greg.

His approach is thoughtful- he explains what we're doing and why, and he always makes sure the exercises are done safely and correctly.

Training with him has been one of the best decisions I've made for my fitness and overall well-being.

My primary focus was to improve my overall physical health by attaining a healthy weight, improving my muscle tone, endurance, and stamina. I was intimidated and pretty disappointed in myself. Derek brings a no nonsense, personalized approach to his training. He began with a thorough, private consultation in which he focused on understanding my specific goals, while identifying obstacles (self-created and otherwise). He worked with me to help me understand that small achievements can lead to significant improvements. Most importantly, he reminded me that consistency is key and urged me to, "trust the process." He created a personalized workout plan for me within an app, so that I could continue exercising even on days that we weren't meeting for our coaching sessions. We also established dietary goals- with emphasis on tracking my macros. It wasn't easy. On those mornings when I struggled to wake up and get myself into the gym, Derek was there with a 'helpful' text message to remind me to keep going. He always - and I do mean always - greeted me with a smile, words of encouragement, and even personal testimonies. I gained so much more than a fitness coach. 1 year and 30+ pounds later, I am healthier and happier. I am grateful to Derek for the invaluable role he played in helping me get to where I am today.

Otherwise, good spot, bit out of the way, that may not be everyone's cup of tea, but for me that's acceptable as is the commute on my end.

After my consultation with Nicole, I immediately did a trial session and I loved it right away. At first I was hesitant to make a commitment, but I eventually did and got my husband to sign up as well. The workout: It's 20 min. once a week. There are lots of naysayers out there.. but it does work, my husband was skeptical too but now he is a believer. With that little time commitment, how can you say No. That 20 mins however, is probably the most intense 20 min of your week. My results: Of course.. you cannot have a huge body transformation, if you do not get your diet in check.. but I knew that - We love food - the good and bad kinds too. So without dieting or even eating healthier, my results so far: 1. Strong- each week I get stronger and stronger. Very useful for carrying large laundry bins up and down the stairs 2. Endurance and energy- I'm not out of breath after 3 trips up and down the stairs 3. No more pain- I've had on and off upper and lower back aches, pain in my fore arms and elbows.. All supposedly from sitting and typing away. I can't even remember the last time I had these pains. 4. Despite not hitting that BMI chart ... I'm less jiggly! The best part is that despite not having a drastic body transformation, my results have been so positive without sacrificing so much time, I am encouraged to eat healthier and continue on. My husband on the other hand.. In 3 sessions, you clearly see muscle definition and now after 12 weeks..amazing.

When I met Laura Crump Anderson she mentioned to me that she was a personal trainer at Inform…read moreFitness Leesburg. She gave me her card and offered a free mini-session anytime. I thought to myself, "Are personal trainers worth the price?" My exercise history has included many methods either for fun or to lose weight and stay fit, but I had never paid for a one-on-one training session. Most recently, I had been running several times a week, but osteoarthritis in my foot led to surgery and now running is no longer a good option for me. I was reluctant to believe that only one 30 minute workout each week would change my body in a visible and measurable way and I was equally unsure if I could find a way to fit this expense into my monthly budget. I was commuting almost two hours a day and the thought of getting up at some ridiculously early time to do a workout at home or in the gym was not appealing at all. I decided I could exchange some discretionary expenses to cover the cost of a personal trainer and give the program three months to see if it was right for me. In January 2016 I started weekly sessions with Laura. I knew that the first couple months would be a slow start and I had to be patient to see results. By the time March came along, I could tell my clothes were fitting better and my husband even mentioned my muscle tone was more defined. The weekly workout was convenient and easy to manage around the rest of my life. Continuing with the sessions was an easy decision for me to make. Through the rest of 2016, I continued to increase my strength and tone of my muscles and I knew that I was on the right track. However, I still had some extra weight that would not come off without a serious change in my diet. January 2017 I changed my diet, reducing carbs and sugars while increasing vegetables and proteins. I also completed a Metagenics 28 day detox which I obtained through Inform Fitness. I have dropped over 20 pounds in four months. Now the muscle definition that is there from my weekly workouts is even more visible and my body is in the best condition and health it has been in since my early 20's. I'm not just skinny; but toned, strong and healthy. I cannot stress enough that this method works to strengthen and tone your muscles, but you also need to adjust your diet if you are looking to lose weight. The reason why I like working with Laura is her ability to communicate and motivate me and her knowledge of exercise physiology. That may sound simple but it really does make me push through even when I want to give up. She won't give up on you, and that is what a personal trainer should do, that is why it is worth the price.
