Kamp Pendleton Personal Training

FANTASTIC! I just went to my first training, and can’t wait to go back. I have tried other trainers in the DC area, and this one was by far the BEST! They were extremely friendly and asked me about my goals. The gym is clean and the trainers are extremely knowledgeable. The gym is located in a business building (GCE?) near Dulles. There is plenty of parking, but you might have to call the gym if you arrive after 6pm. (the business building is closed then)
Side note-​I found out about them from Specialicious.

They have moved location to the Parkridge Center just down the road, to 10 780 Parkridge Blvd on the first floor. I have been teaching my dance programs at Kamp Pendleton since early 2010. From my first contact with Daryl and his staff, it was evident they are professional and courteous and just nice people. Not only that, but they seem to treat everyone like long-​time friends and family even if they have just met them. The facility is equipped with all the latest cardio machines, weights, big screen TVs and sometimes motivating music plays from the Bos speakers. And it is always clean and well organized. The dance studio, which is a separate room from the fitness area where I teach my class is a very nice open space with sprung wood floors. This is so important! Do not dance/​exercise over concrete. In the studio there is a stereo system and additional accessories such as the bosu, yoga mats, and the balloon ball thingsy (don’t remember what they are called). The mirrors are also nice and they are flattering too which is a big plus! It does not get as much air circulation as the fitness area but when you keep the door open, it is not so bad. The ladies locker rooms are always clean and well stocked. I don’t know about the men’s locker room since I don’t go in there. My students enjoy coming here for class and are always treated well by Daryl and his staff. It has a lot of positive energy.

I was COMPLETELY at my wit’s end when i decided to give this a try. I have been to gyms and trainers in the past and was attempting on my own to do what i had learned before to lose weight. After 5 months of virtually no results, my neighbor suggested i try going with her to this joint and i agreed since she WAS ACTUALLY LOSING WEIGHT and I wasn’t, even tho we started working out at the same time. (May-​ish) Anyway, this is a small, intimate setting and Daryl (owner) is so in tune with each and every person there and what they need to be successful. Jasmine is his sidekick and is EXCELLENT at making me keep going even when i just dont want to and am feeling down about myself. The program he uses changes frequently so you dont get bored and you avoid plateaus that come when you do the same thing day in and day out. This place and Daryl have been voted Best Trainer and such over and over again in DC based magazines. The guy has many famous clients and is all about results. He helps with meal planning and talks you off the ledge when you need it. I can’t say enough about them and am SO encouraged to be seeing results that I wanted to write this not only to praise the business but to potentially give some hope to others out there who are doing all of the right things (eating right, exercise) and are still not seeing changes. This works!
