Foundation Fitness of Del Ray — Local services in Alexandria

I've been training with CJ and the team at Foundation Fitness for a little over 4 months now. I appreciate the gym's comprehensive approach to improvement in fitness to impact and better other areas as well. The gym requires a warm-up, which I think allows you to enter the right mental space and prep your body for a workout. The workouts are varied in equipment, muscle groups, and intensity in order to achieve desired results. The gym really cares about CV-19 protocol. Members proactively wear masks, the trainers sanitize equipment frequently, trainers also wear masks, and social distancing is observed throughout while ensuring safety with the weights. The gym itself is very clean and welcoming. I appreciate the people that I work around are neighbors in the Del Ray area and they are constantly passing great information for the area and different events being planned. This past Christmas, the gym led a "wishing tree" drive and was able to donate an unbelievable amount of items to the boys and girls of the local area. The gym partners with other businesses in the area as well to contribute to food drive at Thanksgiving and other charity events. The gym and community of members give back in very large ways. Very meaningful to be a part of. I think what excites me most about this gym is when Covid relaxes and we are able to do larger group sessions and more activities. I'm really proud to be a part of Foundation Fitness and look forward to continuing to strive towards my...

At the suggestion of my physical therapist, Dana from Core Wellness in Alexandria (Del Ray) I consulted with CJ Wesby owner of Foundation Fitness Alexandria, VA. During my initial interview and work outs CJ quickly recognized my injuries, strength, weakness and most importantly where and how I could begin to repair my body after a unique injury in 2014. I am delighted to say that after four months, thanks to CJ, I am making great progress. While I understand it's my dedication and CJs patience and commitment to training that I continue to succeed. During the first few appointments I found myself saying, I can't do something, so instead of saying yes you can, we discussed why I felt this way. In my case, I was afraid of a re injury. In CJs case he reassured me that I could do something as we would start to build slowly and he understood my fears and helped me work through them. Additionally, the time he devotes talking with Core Wellness physical therapists, Dana in my particular case, they continually develop a program that has helped me loose 35 pounds AND regain confidence mentally...

I came to Foundation Fitness in January 2019. I am in my early 40s and have never found a way to integrate regular exercise into my busy work and family life, until now. I can now say that I've stuck with this for almost a year. My longest exercise streak ever! I work with Amie Rowland as my personal trainer and found a schedule that I can actually stick to! Amie's personality is a great fit to mine. Plus, having a set time to meet her twice a week, that I'm paying for, I'm going to keep that appointment. She holds me accountable to the goals we've set, and flexes with me when work or family life cause me to need to reschedule a bit to fit exercise in a time other than my normal schedule.

I didn't come to Foundation Fitness looking to have a body-builder's physique. I came here to get toned and healthy. Now, I can keep up with my 7 year old a little better, plus my very active husband. And... I can now help move a picnic table around when needed! My time at Foundation Fitness has been one of the best investments I've ever...
