Fitness Generation

Fantastic gym and personal training. I was a college athlete (track) and still competitive but for recreation, and always figured I had nothing to gain from personal training. After just one session with Megan, she got me up to speed on the most current practices and technology for running, and helped me to learn new skills to balance out my body from many years of running, to be stronger and stay injury-​free. Her knowledge of the musculature of the body is on point and she explains it so simply so you leave with a whole new understanding of your own body. Continuing my sessions with her, she is helping me to step up my game, to reach my marathon goals, and continue to grow stronger and fitter even as I get older. Working with her, you will reach your fitness goals too and live a life of vitality.

I can’t say enough great things about Fitness Generation. I had been working out with Megan for about 2.5 years at her previous gym, then followed her to Fitness Generation. She has me lifting weights I never thought possible, as well as doing things I never thought I could do, including running a half marathon. She is motivating, energetic, funny, and extremely knowledgeable. The gym is in the Woodmont Triangle area, and I could easily walk there. I can’t rave enough about Fitness Generation and my experience there!

After reaching a birthday milestone, it was time to upgrade both attitude and resources for working out. Previous gym memberships were too expensive with too few resources. And did not have time to research the scores of gyms in Bethesda. Then I heard from a friend about Fitness Generation.
Megan and Ken each took time to learn about my goals, my health issues (a few…) and explained a different approach: start carefully and slowly and track my progress. With their help I could increase skill set accordingly and confidence.
For Fitness Generation: excellent staff who take the time to produce a program that continues to work for me. It’s a different approach to a gym and exercise — one on one guidance that works.

the trx classes with ken are a great, challenging workout with personal attention. i was nervous that the trx would be too intense, but ken demonstrates how to customize each move to your individual fitness level. after 4 sessions, i feel stronger and more confident!

Definitely recommend the trainers at Fitness Generation and here’s why:
In August 2011, I was diagnosed with moderate disc degeneration and arthritis in my lower spine. The official diagnosis came after nearly a decade of living with sometimes debilitating lower back pain. On 2 occasions, I hired personal trainers to address the lower back pain. But the pain only got worse; and after seeing a second trainer — who failed to spot my form and pushed me to use weights way too heavy — I spent 6 weeks barely able to move, on a cocktail of steroids, painkillers and anti-​inflammatory shots.
Then I connected with my current trainer, Justin Wilkins, now with Fitness Generation. Over the past 3 years of working with him, I have achieved far more than I ever thought possible. Justin has helped me overcome debilitating lower back pain through customized instruction and tips on proper form, along with insights into exercises to routinely do and those to avoid, like movements that compress the spine. Another thing: Justin is big on compound movements, which really maximizes our time together.
I’ve since gone from someone who was never particularly athletic to someone who has since completed not one but 2 Tough Mudders, plus 1 Savage Race. Thank you, Justin!

I have trained with Justin Wilkins for over 4 years in the Washington, DC area. From his first day at Washington Sports Club to his new venture at Fitness Generation, I strive to never miss an appointment with him. He is well knowledgeable and manages a lot of clients and their various needs. Given some of the injuries I have endured from playing tennis, I have managed to rely upon his training to avoid further trips to physical therapy. In addition, he has addressed questions outside sessions acting as an on-​call trainer should there be an issue. He also sees the value in keeping appointments so there are never any last minute cancellations. Given his commitment to training people, I would recommend him. But please do not schedule at my time slot.

I can’t say enough good things about FITNESS GENERATION!!! This is the best studio I have been to in a very long time!
It is clean, convenient (very accessible by metro and car) and has great cutting edge equipment! MEGAN was fantastic! She gave a very thorough training session and helped me work on my fitness goals. She is extremely knowledgeable about losing weight and building muscle strength. All of the trainers are very professional, knowledgeable and experienced. You can even get a great massage at the end of your session!
AMAZING STUDIO! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND FITNESS GENERATION TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO GET INTO SHAPE FAST!

I started a fitness journey a bit over 18 months ago, losing 40 pounds and becoming a decent long distance runner. In that time, I’ve incorporated weight lifting, but never really understood what I was doing or had a clear focus. Ken was recommended to me by a friend and my only regret is that I did not find him earlier. He’s a very personable and knowledgable guy. All of the staff that I have met has been friendly, though I’ve only worked with Ken. The facility is clean and well stocked with the essentials. No unnecessary fad machines found in other gyms. I promise you that you will leave tired, but with a solid feeling of having accomplished your work out goal for that day. If you’re looking to take the next step in your fitness journey, then I cannot recommend enough that you give The Fitness Generation a try. You have nothing to lose except that spare tire.
