what our members say about us . . .

“Staring down at the end of a long and rewarding career and working to stay in shape to enjoy the second half. I'm 66, have a 0 handicap in golf but I want to get better and I'm committed to a winter fitness program that will help me get there.  I've been training with first Keith in 2018 and now Ron since 2020.  Both are outstanding trainers who know their material inside and out. They are personable, smart, good communicators, and both have a terrific sense of humor. Fun guys.”

— Harry T.


“Keith has been my physical trainer for over five years. I've worked with many and he is, by far, the best. Each and every session is new and has helped me move toward my flexibility and strength goals. “

— Jack S.

“My husband and I have been members of FLEXX since we moved to McLean 5 years ago.  We wanted a gym that offered classes, and have found energizing, challenging and fun options at FLEXX.  From the manager to the front desk staff to the trainers, walking into class each time makes me feel welcome.  Classes challenge me without being pushed to my limit.  I look forward to working out with my gym friends who share the same goal of keeping fit and improving strength.”

— Jo W.

“I've been a member of FLEXX (and before that Cypress) for about a decade.  FLEXX has consistently been able to maintain very high quality trainers, both for personal training and classes.  The class sizes are small with lots of regular participants.  But my favorite thing about FLEXX is the friendly and welcoming atmosphere - a function of the members, trainer and front desk folks. I am a fan of the diverse circuit training that FLEXX specializes in.  All the classes are unique so you don't fall into a training rut - trainers like Alex and Ethan keep it fresh.  My favorite exercise is probably the kicking I have been doing with my trainer Ron for seven or eight years now.”

— Dave P.

“I highly recommend FLEXX fitness. You get expert level training with thoughtful and straightforward  exercise plans.  I was recommended to FLEXX fitness after a relatively extended period of inactivity. After working with Alex for only 2 months, my strength, range of motion and overall flexibility were better than it had been in years. She was very detail oriented based on my specific needs, yet very patient in allowing my body to have the necessary recovery. We had realistic goals and a great plan that was created by Alex. I will continue to visit FLEXX and could not recommend more.”

— Devin O.

“I enjoy going to FLEXX. I am currently training with Ron and he is incredibly knowledgeable,  professional and patient. Each workout is designed to help me meet my goals . Most importantly they use their expertise to make sure my form is correct as to avoid injuries,  which is so important. The gym/studio has all the necessary equipment and machines to provide a well rounded work out. It is immaculately clean and is a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. I don’t feel lost in the crowd at FLEXX Fitness as I did in most gyms and group classes. This individual attention is very important for me as it keeps me focused and accountable. I want  to get stronger and more flexible and  stay healthy and fit as an “active senior”. In all my 30 years of going to various gyms FLEXX Fitness ranks #1 in my book!!”

— Marjorie M.

“A couple decades of travel and stress took its toll physically and FLEXX  has been key to my rebuilding. Focused training with Keith, plus Pilates, and acupuncture on top of 7 days/week physical activity has brought me to the best shape I have been in for a long time. Being able to move without chronic pain is such a blessing! On top of the world these days! Looking forward to more FLEXX boot camps for total body workouts to supplement my training with Keith. Keep trying new things...having a blast!

— Colvin M.

“I love the impact that training in the gym has had on my life. I've had the pleasure of working extensively with Keith and recently Ethan, and both are dedicated to make sure my best self comes forward. I love how consistently they push me forward. Keith and Ethan have worked extensively with me on core muscles. I love the ab wheel and back extension exercises - during the session itself and with cramped muscles after!”

— yonatan S.

“Doing the classes with Alex, I remain flexible and stronger which is necessary in riding a horse, keeping up with my daily life and preventing illness. I am in excellent health as a consequence of my years of training.    The trainers are very encouraging and push me further than I would ever go on my own. I depend on the class to support my fitness goals. Strength training is essential to combat bone loss with aging. In my working out over the last couple of years with FLEXX I have increased my scores, adding bone strength which keeps me off of bone medication.”

— Paula H.

“I Love FLEXX for working out and martial arts; I want to stay active, flexible, and complete with the young-ins! I've been training with Ron for several years. He has kept me interested in martial arts, challenges me, and understands my limitations. I'm stronger and feel more alive.” 

— Gil P.

“I want to remain in good shape and exercise for my body and my mental health as well.  I train with Alex once a week, which makes me feel  accountable to someone. She keeps me motivated and works with strength and flexibility. 

— Linda L.

“Teaching can be stressful, so I like to either start or end my day with a workout. It allows me to do something positive for myself and become centered. The staff and trainers have become like family to me! They are some of the most supportive people I have met and they truly care about me and my goals. The gym is clean and safe and the atmosphere is always welcoming. I can always count on Alex to give me some pointers when I’m stuck in a fitness rut, and know that whenever I’m there the staff always has my best interests in mind.”

— Laura P.

“Exercise is a stress release and I am fairly active. My ultimate goal is to remain at my college weight. What I love most about FLEXX: Ease of access, quality of facility. FLEXX is an ideal mix of a boutique health club  with good energy and a sense of community” 

— Spencer S.

“Everyone at FLEXX is very nice and I feel like I'm always able to get a great workout in, even if there is a class on the other side of the gym.”

— Griffin K.

“It has improved my quality of life by allowing me to implement a cardio fitness plan that was designed for me after my heart attack in 2010.  I’m 80 years old and am looking forward to a continued, fruitful life here in McLean.
