Ghent Fit is hands down 5-stars! You get personal attention in a clean well appointed gym with separate training rooms. I happen to be partial to Alex (my amazing trainer) but everyone of the trainers and staff are extremely warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in. I was impressed to learn there are no "beginner" trainers here. They each have a background in fitness and are experienced and educated in their field. They take clients at all ages and levels of fitness, but if you're just starting out, like me, this is the place to come. There is absolutely no judgement or reason to be self conscious. They take you "as is" and are eager to craft a personalized workout, according to your goals, history, abilities and any health concerns your dealing with. They take the time to understand your unique needs and abilities. I love how Alex is able to explain the mechanics of a movement and that he's very focused on correct form, in order to get the most out of an exercise and avoid injury. He makes my workouts challenging, but also reigns me in when I get too eager to take on more than I'm ready for. Another plus that impressed me is the effort they make to take care of clients practical needs- showers, towels, soaps, shampoo, etc. They've even offered a stretch lab and a sound bath experience since I've been here, free to clients, both of which I really enjoyed. This is certainly not your run of the mill, box gym. The pricing is extremely reasonable for the quality of personalized attention, the well appointed equipment, clean space and the amenities you receive. I have had an amazing experience at Ghent Fit and would highly recommend it! - Stephie

Personal training with a trainer (Justin) has made me feel terrific! As a 56 year old, I was sooooo worried that I wouldn’t be able to shed weight and build muscle as fast as when I was younger , but after three months of 3x week, I can NOT believe how great I feel, and my fat clothes are getting a little baggy! (I train 2x week with Justin and Saturdays are generally with Jorge or Jordyn- good to mix it up). Everybody here is really nice and has all kinds of certifications, so there’s variety. Also, I get to pick the music. Best part: I haven’t even adjusted my diet or added aerobic activity yet. When I started, I came without motivation, but now I got my motivation back! Thanks Justin and Ghent Fit!

Ghent Fit is the ideal personal training gym! As someone who is health conscious, but has difficulty establishing a consistent fitness routine, I knew I needed the extra help. And Ghent Fit has exceeded all my expectations! I’ve been training with Justin for 22 sessions and counting! He is knowledgeable, professional, personable and organized! He is uplifting, while still holding me accountable and helping me reach the goals I set out from the start. My goals were to increase my energy, strength, weight loss and decrease work related back and neck pain. With these goals in mind, my customized training program was created to get results and track progress via the app. I love how targeted the exercises, stretches and plan have been and in such a supportive positive environment! Have definitely noticed improvement and I actually enjoy coming in for my twice weekly workouts! Looking forward to continued progress! Would recommend to anyone and everyone, start now :)

One year update! I’ve been training with Ashlee at Ghent Fit for exactly a year now and I’m still incredibly pleased with the progress I’ve made and my experience at the studio! Before I joined Ghent Fit, I hadn’t worked out in quite a few months and I had never done anything with weights. One year later I can max squat 135 pounds (more than I weigh!), I regularly deadlift 115 pounds, and I can do a REAL push up. I’ve also lost more than 10 pounds and I’m down 4 jeans sizes. I’m more active all-around - I walk during my lunch breaks, I go to yoga at least 3 times a week, and I’m recently foam rolling on my off days. But more than anything, I feel the best I have felt in a very long time. Four months before I joined the studio, my dad died suddenly. I left DC to move back to the Norfolk area so I could be closer to my mom. My life had completely turned upside down and having regular training sessions with Ashlee gave me the stability I needed. She helped me gain back confidence during a time I felt so much self-doubt. She encouraged me to give space for my grief and to always pay attention to my body. And she still does. There are days that are hard and filled with grief, but during a session with Ashlee I can prove to myself that I can do hard things. And I can achieve things I never thought possible. Super grateful for all the folks at Ghent Fit and for Ashlee!! Can’t wait to see what I accomplish in this next year! ——————————————————————————— I’ve loved training at Ghent Fit! Ashlee has been an AMAZING trainer to work with! She’s been super encouraging and she is incredibly knowledgeable! I knew absolutely nothing about how to use any of the equipment in a gym and I wanted to learn proper form and how to use everything safely, while also getting in shape! Ashlee’s been the absolute best in teaching in and helping me progress in my health and fitness goals! Highly recommend training here!!
