OUR TESTIMONIALS

WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER

At Foundation Fitness Gym I’ve been doing a combination of physical therapy and personal training with Maroun Yazbeck and Michaela Krsikova. I’ve found their instruction to be wise, comprehensive and life changing.Their plan for me is designed to address both strengths and weakness, and they make innovative changes in the moment. At the age of 81 after years of daily running, as well as pilates classes, I need these workouts to stay in shape mentally and physically.Foundation Fitness is a small gym which offers personal instruction to clients. Having tried many different classes and physical therapy sessions, I highly recommend this experience.

So happy I decided to try out personal training sessions at Foundation Fitness to get in shape for my wedding. Michaela is fantastic- she has expertly advanced me at just the right pace (I had no prior experience) and I’m seeing visible results at 4 months along with improving InBody biometric assessments. Wasn’t planning to continue after my wedding but definitely plan to now. Good work out atmosphere, not too many clients training at a time and plenty of machines to use pre or post.

I joined this gym several months ago. It is a wonderful place, inclusive, kind, inspirational, especially for senior citizens such as this formerly sedentary woman! The trainers have an impressive training and capacity to motivate. Gym is in a lower-level small building on MacArthur in the Palisades mini-commercial strip near the UPS so parking is limited though available short-term nearby. Shout-out to Martin, Michaela and Kimior: you're the best!

I've been training with Michaela for more than 8 months and it has been such a great experience. The workouts are perfectly challenging and she is super attentive to form. She can tell right away if I'm not aligned correctly (or the weight is too light!) and she'll make the adjustment. The facility is clean, the trainers upbeat, and the equipment is exactly what you need. Super happy with my experience and would recommend Foundation Fitness to anyone!

This was hands down the most fantastic experience I have ever had in a gym. I was gifted with an incredibly thoughtful, patient (Kimoir made careful considerations at every move for a specific health/body condition that had been keeping me from working out), and very knowledgeable trainer who walked me through the best workout of my life. I hardly knew I was working out, loved the music and happy dancing between reps (the positivity and enthusiasm is infectious), and I left confident and with my body feeling better than it’s ever felt in my life - I’m not kidding.The nutrition break down that followed was also effectively insightful and the feeling of being supported really stays with you - I’ve got everything I need to get in shape and meet my goals!!! Also loved how comfortable, clean, and well equipped this location is and how much space we had to ourselves. No questions and no hesitation, this is THE BEST and only gym/trainer you will ever need.

Had a great experience here at foundation fitness. The staff was very accommodating to our needs in terms of the program for us. I think the biggest highlight was their ability to modify workouts to cater to our physical needs/restrictions and areas of improvement.Also the staff was just overall always happy to be there and passionate about fitness!

I've always hated working out and I had real gym fear but everyone at Foundation Fitness is so kind and wonderful to work with. Michaela helped me enjoy the tough workouts and I even found myself doing some exercises while on vacation. I highly recommend Michaela!!I'm sad I moved away but it was a great experience at Foundation Fitness.

I have been very happy with my training at Foundation Fitness. My trainer (Michaela) is awesome. She does a great job of tailoring my workouts (using free weights, plyos, and stretching) to my goals. The gym itself has good equipment and is no-frills, which probably allows for the reasonable prices. I highly recommend checking them out!

I've been working out at Foundation Fitness of Georgetown for 6 months and it's been a great experience. The trainers are friendly, knowledgable and have helped me toward my goals. They provide a lot of variety in their workouts and make sure that I'm working primary and secondary muscles.I've spent most of my time with Michaela and would recommend her to everyone. She provides good recommendations on technique, pushes me out of my comfort zone and helps me train in ways that I couldn't on my own. She's easy to talk to and fun to be around, so the workouts go quick.

If you're looking for a serious and caring training experience look no further, Foundation Fitness is the best! Patrick interviewed us first, and made sure he understood our needs. Kimior is our trainer at the Georgetown branch. My daughter was transitioning from several years of ballet and needed to learn her own training and body caring routine. The experience has included nutrition classes also. We couldn't be more happy.

I was really dreading returning to the gym after a couple of COVID years working out at home- and I was skeptical I’d be able to accomplish more in a gym environment than I was able to on my own at home… but a friend told me about Foundation Fitness and I’m so grateful! It has totally changed my thinking about gyms and what I can do! The trainers are amazing. You walk in and it’s a VIP experience every time. You don’t feel like you’re walking into a big box gym and getting lost in the crowd at all. You get custom workouts with your trainer who knows you and your goals every time AND there’s no awkwardly navigating sharing equipment or trying to figure out new ways to challenge your body. Just outsource the thinking to the experts!! I’m stronger than I’ve ever been and genuinely look forward to going to the gym. I even miss it on off days! Highly, highly recommend.

I cannot recommend Fitness Foundation Georgetown enough! I have been training with them since June 2021. My trainer is Michaela and I am so happy with my fitness results. I love how they tailor your fitness plan to you. I highly recommend this gym. They have a clean facility, friendly staff that give you positive marks so you keep reaching your goals. Kimior is also great, he gives excellent tips on nutrition and answers any fitness questions I may have. 5 stars across the board! Thank you Fitness Foundation Georgetown for helping me reach my goals with my fitness journey:)

I have been working out with Kimior at Foundation Fitness for about 2 months now. The gym has everything you need and is rarely crowded (usually only me and another person with our trainers). Kimior has really tailored my workouts to me and I actually enjoy working out for the first time in awhile!

I joined FF about one month ago, and I’d definitely recommend it. My trainer, Michaela is encouraging, very thorough with her explanations and visuals to demonstrate proper technique and form and her workouts vary (including boxing to spice things up) and are NOT boring. The gym is organized, clean (disinfected after each round), and has a large variety of equipment. It’s never crowded (usually just me and maybe one other person training): communication (via apps and texts) is good.

Everyone is so friendly and professional, and Michaela is the best!!! She really does an amazing job at getting to know her clients and tailoring sessions to individual workout goals. The facility is always super clean and organized which I really appreciate during the pandemic. I also love how whenever I’m at the gym, I see people of all different ages and fitness levels. It really is a great place for anyone and everyone!

Michaela is a terrific, knowledgeable, and fun trainer. Besides knowing what she's doing, Michaela brings a lot of humor and warmth to her work. Kimior chooses awesome music and has the world's best attitude. I really like this place because of the commitment and dedication of the team. They care about their clients!

Foundation Fitness is amazing! As a high school senior my schedule is constantly shifting but the staff and my trainer Michaela have been so flexible and willing to adapt to my needs. It's been about 2 months and I've already seen so much progress with not only with weight loss, but also increased strength. Michaela has also been incorporating boxing into my sessions which has been so much fun! I highly recommend Foundation Fitness anyone who's considering joining... Just do it!

Foundation fitness has been an excellent experience so far! I have been working out with Michaela for three months and already see the changes I was hoping for. Michaela is challenging and will make you work hard every minute of the session! I would highly recommend her! The gym is clean and offers a more private experience than larger gyms that I have been a member of. Sometimes I am the only client in the gym! Every session has been different and tailored towards my personal fitness goals. The equipment is well maintained and there is such a variety! I would highly recommend foundation fitness to anyone looking for a private personal training experience.

Excellent review for Foundation Fitness. I had been training for a bit over a month and saw significant improvements. Not only will one get excellent personal training (accompanied by boxing! Which I very much enjoy), there is also nutritional help, which contributes significantly to health benefits and makes this gym an exceptional find. I worked with Patrick, Kimior, and mainly with Michaela, I couldn’t be happier. Everyone is friendly, knowledgeable, and will genuinely work with you. Thank you, Foundation Fitness. You guys are the best! #raisethebar #beyourbest

This was such a find for me to discover this place. With 2 surgeries, I needed to gain strength to keep doing the things I love, a clean gym that sanitizes everything so I feel comfortable being there, and a trainer who knows exactly what I can tolerate and when to make me fit. Thank you!!

Foundation Fitness is an amazing gym! I have been training with Kimior for a month now, and the results are already amazing. He tailors the workouts to your own personal fitness and body goals, and his knowledge of health and fitness is extensive. He is also so nice and makes working out fun! I used to hate working out, but now I look forward to every Tuesday and Thursday that I get to go to Foundation Fitness.

Foundation fitness is an incredible training space and has totally transformed my life. I’ve always been a big gym goer, but my sessions with Ryan Blake totally changed the way I train, the way I relate to food and the shape of my body.If you want a stellar results go for the “Body by Blake” training experience. You’ll love to hate him and more to it love the results.

Ryan is the trainer that I love to hate! He is incredibly knowledgeable about fitness and the human body and he is always pushing me to be as strong as I can be. He is patient when he needs to be and strict when he sees me slacking. I look forward to my workouts with Ryan. He has made me a better person and athlete. Thank you Ryan, Kimior and Foundation Fitness!

I have been going to Foundation Fitness Georgetown for almost a year now. My daughter introduced me to her trainer Kimior because I wanted to lose weight and get in better shape. Foundation Fitness is clean and well equipped. Kimior is enthusiastic and motivating. My workouts are challenging and varied so I'm never bored. I've lost more than 50 lbs and look forward to my next session!
