I knew this gym was going to be the best the second I was sat down with the owner Patrick and given a straight forward one page contract, no tricks, just a commitment that anyone could understand. It was a hefty investment but the best investment i have ever made in my life. I love training with Michael and have been for several months now. Misinformation and inexperience is the reason I signed up, those are the reasons people don't like the gym, luckily the trainers are here to guide you. The truth is going to the gym is wonderful for your body regardless of age and the whole thing is good science just like a lot of other things in life. The trainers here at the gym, they don't just motivate you, they teach you how to be independent, work with you to reach your goals, and truly educate you to empower you. All the trainers are great relatable people who understand what it's like to be new and don't push you at a rate but rather challenge you within great and healthy reason. Doesn't matter whether you train with Michael, Hannah, or Jason they'll all steer you into having a productive fun and great workout that'll have you feeling accomplished. Every time I leave the gym i leave out feeling better than when I entered. Foundation Fitness remains true to its name and will forever be the best gym to me 🤝💪

This review is long overdue. I discovered Foundation Fitness accidentally because it is near my office, and I’m so glad I did. The owner (Patrick) took time to meet with me for the initial appointment and to make sure my trainer would be a good fit. I’ve trained with Jason C. since May 2022 and have seen noticeable results, even though I haven’t been great at fitting in workouts on my own time. Jason tailors workouts to my own changing goals and limitations. He’s also very knowledgeable about alternative fitness/leisure activities, such as local hidden-gem hiking trails.

I have been training with Michael Labs at Foundation Fitness in Fairfax for the past six months and find him to be very knowledgeable and passionate about personal training. Michael is very personable and has an excellent ability to communicate and easily assess individual abilities and goals. Michael developed a one-on-one program that matched my abilities and carefully documented my progress with an eye toward making each session challenging and fun. I have decided to take a break from personal training but Michael graciously and generously offered to share his training expertise with me by suggesting an at-home program to closely mimic my fitness program at Fairfax Fitness that I will be able to maintain with my limited amount of exercise equipment. I highly recommend Michael and the other dedicated trainers at Foundation Fitness to anyone looking to start a fitness program or to refresh or improve their fitness goals.

I started working out at Foundation Fitness in Jan 2022 with Jason O. then Michael L. shortly thereafter. I’ve been an athlete my whole life but never done anything personally tailored to me and my individual goals. Working with Michael these past 6 months has been great and really improved my strength and overall fitness level. Why my goal wasn’t necessarily weight loss, my physique has changed dramatically! The scale has stayed roughly the same because of the lean muscle mass I’ve put on but I’ve lost inches all over my body so I’ll consider that a win. Michael was great to train with and I always looked forward to my workouts - not only is he knowledgeable about fitness and strength training, he is one of the easiest people to talk with! It felt more like I was chatting with a training partner than getting personalized coaching and I mean that in the best way possible! The only reason I’m leaving is because I’m moving out of state and I’m sad to no longer be working out there. I’d give this studio 10 stars if I could.

The training I get at Foundation Fitness is outstanding - first from Jason O and now with Michael who is extremely knowledgeable about physiology and strength training. He created a personal program that is perfectly suited to my strengths and weaknesses and there isn’t a session that I leave without feeling so invigorated and ready to take on my day - it is addictive! I always look forward to going and the sessions are over so quickly! Zero regrets signing up for this - so worth it!

Michael is an exceptional gym trainer! His expertise and dedication have transformed my fitness journey. He tailors workouts to individual needs, ensuring progress and motivation. His positive energy and encouragement make every session enjoyable. I've achieved significant results under his guidance. Highly recommended! Thanks, Michael!

Michael has taught me an abundance about health, nutrition and fitness. He is a very enthusiastic trainer who cares about each and every person at the gym!

I have been training here for a few months now. The gym has all the equipment I need and the trainers are very knowledgeable and friendly. Hannah is my trainer. She has a vast knowledge of strength training and is always answering my questions and teaching me new things. I have lifted prior to starting a program here, but thanks to the great training here I am achieving greater strength gains than ever before and am seeing muscles that I didn’t even know I had. The trainers are very welcoming and you will feel like a regular. I feel like I am working out with both a coach and a friend. I look forward to seeing how far we can go and to gaining the knowledge I need for a lifetime of strength training and healthy habits.
