Hands down the best equipped and and staffed personal training gym in the DMV. But that doesn't really describe it. Apologies for the long review but it takes a bit to really describe how unique a place like this. Thesis is a fitness and nutrition home for people that want to make themselves accountable for their health & lifestyle no matter where they are on their fitness journey. Their trainers are the most qualified in weight training & nutrition coaching. The gym is for personal training only and is a large space for being just for personal training. And it is equipped like a D1 athletic department with the best of everything. It is always sparkling clean with their on staff cleaning crew and has high end spacious locker rooms with first class toiletries. Which is unique outside of the big membership gyms like Vida or Equinox. They help you make informed decisions about your training and nutrition. They are a team. The trainers are constantly learning from each other & the head of instruction and collaborate on clients. The vibe is affirming and welcoming no matter the level of fitness you are in currently. The culture there embraces the diversity that is the DMV. It isn't a "bro gym" or a place where women get creeped on which is so common at gyms. Every time I train, there are as many women as there are men. The trainers don't just "turn on" for your sessions, which are challenging. They are checking on you daily. If I'm slacking in the steps department, I might get a text from my trainer in the middle of the afternoon suggesting I get out for a walk! When I'm on vacation or traveling, he asks me to send him what I have to work with in a hotel gym and throws together workouts for my trip! All of this from their amazing Thesis app. Same on food. If I have regular restaurants that I go to, we look a the menu together to see where I can make healthy choices. My point is, trainers aren't winging it with the latest workouts they saw on instagram! Or telling you to eat grilled chicken breast & broccoli every day. They help you make informed choices that are sustainable for the long term. They aren't just independent contractors (or employees that are treated like contractors). This isn't a side gig for them. What I think is really unique is that they are full time employees with benefits and an actual base salary. They aren't going to starve when clients take time off in the summer or the holidays. This matters to me not just because it's the right thing to do but because it attracts the best talent that will actually stick around! It means they aren't just being compensated for the hour on the floor with me, they are paid to develop my training program, monitor my growth, make adjustments, check in daily, measure my progress with body scans and other high tech measurements. And to constantly keep me accountable for the goals I have set for myself (which may be different than somebody else). The trainers and staff are literally invested in your growth & progress. Cheering you every step of the way. It is a little more expensive than training sessions at a high end membership gym like equinox but there is no monthly membership fee and you aren't training and working in while people are just working out in a crowded gym floor. If you are looking for a place that is truly a fitness & health home, this is it! read more
