I have never enjoyed going to the gym. It is always something I did begrudgingly, and while I was there I felt like I had no idea what I was doing. I used to go to the big gyms and do group classes, but didnt see results like I wanted to. I joined Action Fitness at the very beginning of 2014 after seeing a friend have wonderful success there. I started out doing Personal Training 2 times a week, with the option of attending unlimited group classes. It was only a matter of time before I upgraded to Unlimited Personal Training and I go 4-5 times a week. I stopped obsessing about the number on the scale and started appreciating the strength that I was gaining, the toning and muscle definition that was happening, and my general overall happiness at being active,working hard, and looking so much better in photos and in my clothes. John and Don are fantastic trainers, fun to be around, and for the first time (ever) I can say that I truly enjoy going to the gym. In fact, I drive all the way from Alexandria to Fairfax just to go there. They encourage me, give me lots of tools to succeed, and are always there for my questions and willing to help me do more. Its not just a gym, its a community of strong women who support each other and cheer each other on, and trainers who really, really care. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.

Action Fitness has changed my life in so many ways. I came to them for a free consultation, using a wheelchair. After the last of 4 spine surgeries, I was looking for a personal trainer who had knowledge of the spine and body mechanics that might be able to help me get some strength back into my legs and core. Three months later, I have lost 12 lbs. and 15", secondary to being able to lift my legs that I had not been able to do in years. There are numerous areas of daily living that I have used an aide for and I now am able to do these things by myself. The care and personal coaching, that I have been receiving, has far surpassed anything that I have seen from other trainers that I have talked with. The exercises are set up and adapted to ea. persons ability, my health (Diabetes and Osteoporosis) has been taken into consideration when putting together my workout program and watched carefully with each workout, and the accountability and one-on-one care is fantastic! Everyone has an accountability coach who keeps in touch with you weekly. I have just re-signed up for the next 3 months and plan to keep going. I am stronger and more flexible than I have been in years. I cant wait to see what I am able to do in 3 months.

If you are looking for a womens only gym that will deliver real results, than look no further! This is the only fitness program that I have tried, consistently stuck with, and most importantly SAW RESULTS! I love working out here! What makes this program different from any other program that I have tried in the past is the sense of community and support from both the members and the trainers. What continues to impress me is the fact that the trainers genuinely care about you and go above and beyond to make sure that you reach your goals. They make the effort to answer any and all fitness questions you may have. And an added bonus is the nutritional resources provided as part of the membership to further enhance and speed up your goals! And the fact that they know their members by name is awesome! How many big box gyms can say that?? I highly recommend Action Fitness! Please check it out! I truly believe that you will love it as much as I do!!

I love Action Fitness!! I have been a member there for a little over two weeks. It is unlike any other fitness experience I have ever had. The members are very supportive of one another; encouraging each other through their challenges and sharing in celebrating their achievements. My Personal Trainers are the bomb diggity!!! In addition to their expert knowledge and training in the studio, I receive regular e-mails and Facebook posts from them with regard to whats happening in the studio, health and wellness information, nutrition tips, feedback on my progress, words of encouragement, etc. outside of the studio. It is obvious that they really care about me, and want me to succeed at achieving my goals! I like the fact that Action Fitness is a womans only gym/studio, because it allows me to get down to business, and be myself. I strongly encourage you to check out Action Fitness. You wont be disappointed!!

I have been going to Action Fitness for about a year. It has changed my way of thinking. There is no quick fix to a healthier life style and most people that lose the weight quickly... will more than likely gain much of there weight back. I feel better then I have in a long time. My outlook on life is much better. I monitor my food intake weekly now, which I never did before (MyFitnessPal). The staff at Action Fitness are wonderful...Great Coaches! John Casto, Owner continues to grow and inspire his members each week...always something new and challenging. He will personally discuss any issues you may have that might be troubling you (Physically or Mental Thinking). I definitely recommend Action Fitness! It is a small Gym BUT there is great things happening there! Very Happy Client - Thanks John!!

This gym has been the best experience of my life. I have joined a community of coaches and woman that have helped me achieve my goals. This is a womans only gym that has both classes and personal training. The classes are high intensity interval training, which has been proven to be the most effective at burning fat even after you leave the gym. I have been coached on not only fitness, but on nutrition too that has helped me lose 30lbs and I have been able to stop taking several medications since I joined in March 2014. This is not a big-box impersonal gym. They give you personalized instruction and help and ladies of all ages and shapes and sizes come here to work together. When I started I was not exercising at all and now I am amazed at what I can do.

I have been a member of Action Fitness for four months. In that time, I have lost both pounds and inches and have gained a much greater appreciation of what my body is capable of doing. With the encouragement of the coaches and other members, I push through to new personal bests nearly every week. Personal training focuses on strengthening core and overall strength; classes focus on interval training to help boost metabolism and cardio health. The classes change daily and I really enjoy the variety of the workouts. The support from the staff and the other members is awesome. Action Fitness is a real community, not just another gym. Come check it out!

I love this gym and highly recommend it! I actually look forward to my personal training and classes. The classes are so fun, yet challenging. The coaches are encouraging and always patient with me, since I am a beginner. The main focus is on safety, which is so important to me! I am doing exercises I NEVER could have done a year ago. My health has changed dramatically--I am down 50 pounds in six months and my clothes fit so much better, and I have sooo much more energy for my children plus I sleep great. I feel so much healthier!
