I have been working with Pascal and Yulia for slightly over a month, and I already lost about 8lbs, and now I can do many of the exercise/technic motions that I was not able to do.
If you are looking for personal training that provides comprehensive, professional support customized to your goal, do not look further, and I would strongly recommend you to consider working with Pascal and Yulia at least for 1-2 months. Pascal totally changed my mind and understanding of diet: I had been on an pretty expensive dietary program where you replace two regular meals with protein shake, etc., and Pascal "saved" me from that, teaching me how I can enjoy regular food while still losing weight by helping me understand the importance of hormones and 1:1 coaching on my nutrition (pure coaching! and not asking you to buy stuff like others!). Working with Pascal, I lost weight much "more" and "faster" than when I was on that dietary program, and I am really enjoying my life with good real food and better health thanks to him. He genuinely cares about your goal and reaching that goal in a "right and healthy" way, which I really appreciate. Yulia is truly amazing in providing the right types of exercise for your body and explaining how each motion should be done for the best result. I very much enjoy working with her and strongly recommend her if you are looking for a great trainer who really knows stuff.
I am planning to continue to work with them for at least the next 5 months , so I will share updated review with my...
Read moreClarendon Fitness is without a doubt the best gym I've been to in the NOVA area. They have frequent classes at a variety of times; check out their website for specifics, it's updated often. In general, they're available before work, after work, and also on weekends. There are also more advanced classes for people who are already in fairly good shape, and I dare anyone to go to one and say it wasn't the most intense workout they've been to. The group class size is generally very small, under 10 people, and in the mornings as few as 3, and there are oftentimes specials for free classes to new customers. From what I understand they're also beginning to offer massage services.
Then, of course, they also offer private training sessions, which all gyms do. But the advantage you get at going to a smaller gym is that they can really be choosy in who they hire. You'd expect a personal trainer to be in excellent shape, and they are at Clarendon Fitness, but they're also very knowledgeable about nutrition, motivation, and teaching itself. Simply because someone is in good shape themselves doesn't necessarily make them a great personal trainer, it takes a variety of skills. You're getting a lot for your buck - quality training, personalized attention, nutrition assistance, and results. I'd normally write more, but I'm about to head for their Monday evening class right now. Hope to see you...
Read moreIf there were 6 stars I would rate this place just that. I am in awe of the training I had with them, I have been in my fitness journey on and off for the past 8 years and have gone to multiple studios, and personal trainers in the NoVA area to find the right fit for me, my body and something that was challenging enough as well. Clarendon Personal hit all these in just the first session and every session I continue to take. I am someone who can tend to want to slip off my fitness journey every now and then but with them… nope, they pushed-me, encouraged me, reminded me of what I’m capable of, and were so consistent with their communication in and out of the center, that I ALWAYS felt so welcomed and appreciated going to work out with them. My body thanked me each time after the sessions, even though I did feel sore and felt every body part being put to work …it felt amazing because I felt i was getting my moneys worth and felt like I accomplished workouts I wouldn’t of ever thought I would do. I walk out proud of myself and thankful to have found a personal training center that focuses on me and actually puts the personal to...
