After various false starts in my diet and weight loss journey, I decided it was time to get serious. I went an interview at multiple gyms, and committed to Foundation Fitness Annandale. I joined the small group training and it has been nothing short of life-changing. I mainly train with Collin and Angelo, but all the trainers have been friendly, knowledgeable and encouraging.The small group training has been perfect for me having a small group encourages and challenges me to do my best each session. I’ve been with FF-Annandale for just short of 3 months and have lost over 20 pounds, while gaining strength and mobility. If you take advantage, they have a great app that pairs with Apple Health and myFitnessPal.I enjoy coming to each session and look forward to being challenged. Can’t thank the Foundation Fitness team enough and will update as I continue to progress.

I’ve been training with Steven since May 2024. He’s helped me get back on track with my health in every way that I could not have imagined. His aim is not to make me a gym rat, but improving my mobility to help me get back to a higher quality living. I truly appreciate his flexibility, his honesty, and check ins to keep me motivated every time we train. I’m pumped for the work to come as we continue building towards my goals.

I began my journey with Foundation Fitness in the fall of 2023. I started at 285 lbs and with low endurance levels. Even with foot surgery in November and limited mobility for a month, the team worked with me on a regimen that would keep my progress moving forward. Here I am almost a year later, and I have not felt better in years. I am down 40 pounds and my endurance level has improved substantially. I am 65 years old. Collin Scheidt is one of the best trainers I have had the pleasure of working with. He forms each program to meet my needs and capabilities, yet continues to push me to exceed the plan. He motivates and encourages, while keeping a sense of humor, and focuses on doing routines that address multiple muscle groups at one time. It is amazing what a knowledgeable and thoughtful trainer can help you accomplish.If you want to succeed, Collin is you man!!

I have been training at the Foundation Fitness gym in Ashburn for years--even before it was Foundation Fitness. I have had a few FF trainers over the years, including Kevin Wickline and Kasiah Meyers. I have been very happy with both Kevin and Kasiah. Both pay a lot of attention to how you are feeling on the days you train and accommodate your training to any issues you are having that day. Both also pay attention to the progress you are making in your training--amount of weight you can lift, reps, etc. I train mostly now with Kasiah. She is very careful to discuss my goals with me and to structure my workouts to achieve my goals. I train with her 3 days a week, and she makes sure to vary my workout by days so I am not overly working any one set of muscles. She encourages me to push myself, and is a cheerleader when I achieve new levels. She is always studying weight training, anatomy, motivation, etc. and applying what she learns to her training practices. Plus she is very nice and I enjoy working with her. I would highly recommend Foundation Fitness in Ashburn, and Kasiah. (And Kevin also, of course!)

Amber is an excellent trainer, consistently good about adapting workouts not only to overall personal goals but also to however I may be feeling on a specific day. She us personable, professional, and adds a lot of value to the team of trainers. All of the trainers male a great, friendly, supportive community and contribute to a positive atmosphere for every client in the gym.

I started training with Amber a year ago. She kicks my butt!!! in a good way 🙂 With her help I have seen tremendous gains in my strength, endurance, and overall fitness. I need the accountability a trainer offers, and Amber gives me just that. I benefit from her many years of experience, professionalism, kindness, and sense of humor. Foundation Fitness and the team of trainers welcomed me from day one, and create a small, non-judgemental environment for all.

My original post from a year ago is below. I want to send an update May 2024. I'm still a member with Foundation Fitness and I'm training with Amber now. I started with Angelo who got me started, but it's with Amber that I've made fitness part of my life. If you want the personal attention with trainers who are knowledgeable and passionate, then I can't say enough about Foundation Fitness. 5 plus stars!!!!!I joined Foundation Fitness of Annandale in November 2022 and am still going strong! I am more than happy with the personal training I receive. My trainer (Angelo) is passionate about his job. His enthusiasm is a great motivator—it’s exactly what you need to push yourself. If you want to reach your goals and make changes to strengthen your body, I can’t say enough great things about Angelo. He will help you get the job done! He clearly knows his stuff and is so knowledgeable about the principles of strength training and fitness. I see the changes in my body and I’m getting stronger every week and I’m feeling better! Not only are the other trainers (Steven and Caleb) just as knowledgeable but I can really see they enjoy helping others get fit. Just a positive, positive vibe at Foundation Fitness and the trainers are all serious about helping you make the best version of you! #1 personal trainers around!

Found this gem of a place from a Google search and I'm so glad that I did! My first thought when reading the Google reviews was "There are so many good ones, is it really that good??" I went in for a consultation to check it out and ended up signing up that day. I've been training with Steven in a small group format for about 5 weeks now and I can say that they do live up to their great reviews! The gym is small, but it has all that you need for your training sessions. I was coming off of a knee injury/exercise hiatus and was a bit nervous to get back into working out. Steven has been great in making sure the exercises are modified as needed. He is supportive, yet challenging and makes the sessions fun. I would recommend this place to anyone!

I. LOVE. THIS. GYM. If you’re thinking about starting (or re-starting) an exercise program, Foundation Fitness is *life-changing*. There is a reason why their reviews are extraordinary; no matter where you are in your fitness journey, no gym has more heart or cares more.I’ve struggled with diet and exercise my whole life; my weight has fluctuated an embarrassing amount. When I first joined, I got winded climbing a flight of stairs. I was so deeply unhappy, and so ashamed of my fitness level that the whole prospect of setting foot in a gym was intimidating. I hated the thought of joining one of those large chain-gyms; I knew I needed more accountability. But Foundation Fitness is a small, community-oriented fitness center with a SPECTACULAR, non-judgmental team that will push and inspire you. Each of their trainers offers their own arena of expertise – Collin is exceptional in mobility and functional fitness, Amber will give you the best HIIT workout of your life, Angelo builds award-winning power-lifters, and Steven is a *phenomenal* weight-lifting/body sculpting coach.Whenever I show up, I feel welcomed, seen, and encouraged. (It’s sort of like my inner high school nerd is hanging out with all the jocks, and they’re being really nice to me??) The environment is always fun, even during the most grueling workouts. Some days we’ll listen to 70s rock music, other times it might be DJ mixes or top hits. I’ve never met another gym-goer I didn’t like; everyone is great. The aspect I love the very most about this gym is that I see clients of every age, body type, race, ethnicity, and ability; Foundation Fitness doesn’t just preach community – they live it. Each of the trainers is friendly and fun, but also a consummate professional. The level of engagement and attentiveness I receive during my workouts is unsurpassed by any trainer I’ve ever had before, and I can see and feel the results. The trainers help build the foundation and give you the tools to continue your fitness outside of the gym. Nutrition coaching is included, as is an app you can link to MyFitnessPal, Apple Watch, Garmin, etc. I’ll add that I did some price shopping in the area before I joined Foundation Fitness, and I found their rates to be extremely competitive, if not better than most.In terms of the facility itself, it’s small – a couple of treadmills and other cardio machines, four separate rack stations, and all the standard training equipment (free weights, kettlebells, etc.). You’re expected to arrive early and do at least 30 minutes of warm-up and stretching before your session. There isn’t a locker room here (although there are bathrooms in the building), so this works best if you’re able to shower/change at home. Also, the gym is intended for group or one-on-one training sessions; while you can technically show up and do cardio on your own, this isn’t like standard gyms where you can just come and do weights whenever.If you’re even considering joining a gym or working with a trainer, you won’t find a better fit – I promise you. In about 3 months (with some hard work in and outside of the gym), I lost approx. 25 lbs and 10% of my body fat while building muscle. The compliments are nice, having clothes fit *so* much better is great, but nothing beats how I feel – happier, stronger, and hopeful. Joining Foundation Fitness is one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself – ever.

After researching gyms, I committed my health goals to FF-Annadale. I have no regrets! 2 months of training and a nutritional meal plan, and my results have been remarkable. Angelo and his team are experts in their field, and the experience I gained from them has been invaluable. Our Monday after-work sessions are my favorite time to enjoy community while working up a sweat. Other times, we are very focused. That said, it's so much more than a gym. I am confident I will reach my fitness goals and make great friendships along the way.

Absolutely phenomenal! Whether you're brand new to fitness, trying to get back in shape, or are already advanced, this is the place to train. I also know two people who joined this gym to prepare for their physical abilities test in law enforcement and both were successful. Angelo, Amber, and Steven at the Annandale location are excellent trainers. Highly recommend.

I have been training at Foundation Fitness with Collin as my trainer for four months now and have improved a lot already! I understand how to manage my nutrition and my strength has nearly doubled! The onboarding process was smooth and the other personnel are great as well. I am sad to say Ill be leaving the gym for a few months because of my work but would love to work with Collin in the future!

As a former college athlete, I’ve never felt satisfied with my experience at typical gym chains around here. I wanted a community feel with qualified coaches that could personalize my workouts and push me. I also have a connective tissue disorder and old injuries that can be difficult to accommodate. Angelo and Steven immediately made me feel like this was the place for me. You can choose 1:1 or small group sessions and your frequency. They paired me up with a small group of likeminded women 2x a week. Steven has done a great job of tailoring our workouts to our unique abilities and goals, and even though I’d rather rag on him than compliment him, he makes each session fun. 🙂 Each time I’m in the gym, there is a diverse group of individuals there, from first-timers to competitors, and all are friendly. I am happy to be a part of this community and look forward to going there each time.

The perfect balance! I always have a great time joking with the trainers and other clients, all the while getting in a hardcore workout. Steven, my trainer, is very knowledgeable, he always is prepared with a thorough workout, he shows the proper technique, and helps to guide my diet as well. When soreness or injury arise, he knows how to finesse certain movements so it doesn't hurt anymore or how to stretch out a particular sore muscle. I would highly recommend Foundation Fitness to anyone who wants to see results, have a good time, and be held accountable!

I started training with Steven three years ago and haven't looked back! His knowledge and ability to break down movement is unmatched. Not only have I changed myself physically, but I've gained so much from training. I'm more confident (which maybe the world didn't need) and it's all around been a wonderful addition to my life. For expert training and community, definitely check out FF in Annandale!

The team at Foundation Fitness Annandale is fabulous! Collin and Angelo make training fun and challenging at the same time. The atmosphere is friendly and non-intimidating. Over the last three years, the team has adjusted my training and personalized workouts to my style and goal. I am well on my way to my goals and I highly recommend this team!

I was hesitant on going…I felt like I would be embarrassed and laughed at for not being the strongest guy kind of thing. Angelo on the first day made me feel right in place from day one. I went from starting at light weight to heavy with his training methods in a heart beat. My muscles and body stopped aching and I felt 10 years younger. As I progressed through after a couple months, we got on a diet plan and I dropped 16 pounds in two months in the healthy way…still eating carbs and other items but in a healthier aspect. I then transitioned to working out 3 times a week and mixing in a HIT training style for a couple of those days a week with Caleb…I love it. I did CrossFit and this is in that same realm but more targeted to what you need or want to get better at. I wish I had these guys when I was younger…hard telling where I might actually be in my life with sports and other activities or less injuries. Highly recommend and to me…these guys are almost like I’m working out with best friends and makes it fun to go workout rather than the “gym” feeling of thinking you are out of place or not doing the right exercises alone.

Bottom Line: This place is amazing (especially if you're *not* a gym person) and well worth the investment.I've been at Foundation Fitness for three months now and can't imagine a better gym experience. As a work-at-home mom with two jobs and part-time homeschool mom of three young children, I give up my ONLY TWO FREE MORNINGS per week to be a FF and have zero regrets. They're two of my favorite mornings every week.After having my kids and developing an autoimmune disorder in the process, I spent a lot of time focusing on nutrition but just feeling totally lost when it came to exercise. Enter: Foundation Fitness. After a thorough intake, I was paired with my trainer - Collin - who is a perfect fit. He's always prepared for my workout, keeps track of my progress, teaches me how to lift safely, is encouraging without being weird, and doesn't make me feel like an idiot (a feeling I was quite accustomed to when at a gym...)Like Collin, the other trainers at the gym are friendly, knowledgeable, non-judgmental, encouraging, and flexible (I've even showed up with my 7 and 9 year old in tow and they rolled with it!). The gym is also spotlessly clean. In short - FF is wonderful!

I've trained at Foundation Fitness in Annandale for 9 months now. I signed on at the age of 49 because I wanted to begin my 50s stronger and healthier than I was in my 40s. My trainer Steven B did a thorough intake and made sure he understood my physical limitations and my goals to overcome and exceed them. In the 9 months I've trained with Steven I have seen real, life changing results. Physically I am much stronger than I was in my 40s and have a considerably better understanding of proper lifting technique. Steven has a tremendous amount of knowledge and he knows how to motivate without being overbearing. All the trainers here give their clients their undivided attention to make sure you are getting the max out of your time spent with them. If you've put on a bit (or in my case a lot) of weight during the COVID isolation that won't go away, come here and this team will get you back into fighting form. Highly recommended!

My Foundation Fitness experience has far exceeded my expectations! Some context... always athletic and active but major back surgery some years ago and recently turning 60 had taken a toll on my overall health and fitness... my daughter had trained at the Annandale gym before heading off to JMU this past fall and had great things to say about the FF Team, gym experience and Lisa, her trainer. Knowing I needed to change the trajectory of my health & fitness and with some trepidation, I scheduled a consultation and started my FF Training journey. The past 7 months has absolutely improved my health, fitness, and quality of life thanks the knowledge, experience, encouragement, and tuff love at the right times to push me beyond my doubts :)My gratitude to Lisa getting me started, Steven who's always pushing with a smile and making me better, and confidence and genuine passion of Angelo and Patrick for people. Thank you!Never too old or out of shape to start a good thing... My story 🙂

Foundation Fitness has been a great place to achieve my fitness goals. All of the trainers here are exceptional in their knowledge of nutrition and workout technique. My trainer, Steven, has helped me fix quite a few mistakes I've been making as a somewhat regular gym goer and my strength has been through the roof because of it. I am only a couple months in and can't wait to see what I can accomplish with their guidance by the end of it. - SLF

This place is a hidden gem! I've been training here for over a year and I honestly could not recommend it enough. I train with Lisa, who is very knowledgeable and makes the workouts safe and fun, but I've gotten to know the other trainers as well and I would recommend any of them. I'm a plus size girl and the environment is very body positive and makes me feel safe and secure. We're all there just to get strong! If you're considering weightlifting or personal training of any kind, I couldn't recommend this place more.

Started going here shortly after a lower back injury and they helped me with strengthening the muscles around my back and improving my flexibility/mobility. I also lost 30 pounds and feel better/stronger after 20 weeks thanks to Steven’s nutritional/diet guidance. The gym is on the small side but it has everything you need. Everyone’s really nice, the pricing is really fair and they are very understanding when life things come up. Would recommend for anyone trying to get in shape or lose weight.

I have been training at Foundation Fitness for a few months now. All the trainers really care about creating a welcoming environment for everyone. My trainer Lisa has done a great job teaching me the proper way to lift while creating workouts tailored specifically to me as well as helping with proper nutrition and healthy eating. I have noticed a significant increase in my all around strength and fitness. Would recommend this gym to anyone looking for great personal trainers.

I also appreciate the cleanliness and organization of the equipment. I highly recommend :))
