Chronic pains and weaknesses will begin to fade as your body starts to regain its range of motion that has been lost to misuse and none use.

    Sand and Steel Fitness is a great gym with an excellent coaching staff. Paul has incredible knowledge to help you with any mobility problems you have. He is also capable of designing a program that fits your needs and goals specifically. I really his Kinstretch Class, but I prefer to book him for Owner’s training since it’s one on one.

    Dawn is an excellent programmer as well, she is able to create strength programs spanning the spectrum of novice to the experienced weight lifter. Overall their coaching staff is professional, kind, and highly experienced.

    The amount of equipment they have is amazing allowing one to train every muscle in the body, even the ones you never thought you had! If you are looking for a gym to help motivate you to work out Sand and Steel is your gym! If you just reached a plateau and want to ascend to the next level, you should stop in and see Paul or Dawn!

    After hearing my wife tell me all about her workouts for the last year, I decided to join her at Sand & Steel. My first two weeks was a great introduction. The gym tour and orientation were good for learning about all the types of sessions offered including nutrition, yoga, and mobility. The InBody scan provided useful insights and motivation. I had the opportunity to work out with several different trainers in the first few sessions. Each has his/her own approach, but the workouts are still tailored to each client’s fitness goals and overall training plan. Also common across the workouts is a focus on learning proper form. This was super important to me for taking on new exercises and for working problem areas (for me this means areas where I have old injuries, weakness, or imbalances).
    Choosing your trainer is a feature of the online scheduling – you choose a time slot, trainer, and session type from those available on the calendar. It’s easy to navigate and schedule your sessions as you are planning out your week, especially if your schedule varies.
    I feel comfortable asking any of the trainers their opinions and recommendations both about specific details related to my workouts and about general fitness and nutrition. I also like the sense of community that I feel at Sand & Steel.

    I’ve been in northern Virginia for a bit over a year now, and started researching personal trainers ironically about a month before COVID-19 shut everything down. I wasn’t new to working out, gyms, and figured I had decent fundamentals after years of push-ups being drilled into me. But, after a couple years of persistent pain that even a couple months of rest couldn’t solve, I decided to get serious. I never really considered a personal trainer before, even at the big box gyms with several thousand square feet of equipment and space. I also tried Crossfit a couple times at a place near me in my former state and was honestly not very impressed. That Box gave about a 30min intro on techniques, and never really monitored closely for proper form – it was all about the time!
    I was considering two main gyms in the Alexandria area for personal training, to address my lingering pain issues. Fast forward to when gyms started to re-open as COVID-19 restrictions started to relax. Sand and Steel was one, and another which I won’t name. When I first set up my intro appointment with Paul, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I assumed it was mostly a Crossfit gym that did some other stuff. But the main reason I wanted to go check them out was because the website mentioned core strength and mobility, which is what I felt I needed. After talking with Paul, he was very confident that they were very capable of addressing my fitness needs. We looked over the list of services, and I committed to Personal Training and Open Gym to start out with. Though Open Gym was something I cancelled fairly early, after realizing it didn’t mesh with my schedule too well right now (the cancellation process was a breeze).
    I’m now entering my third month and am very satisfied with selecting Sand and Steel. I am steadily making progress on my goals and have noticed improvements and reduction in pain. I’ve made a point to have a session with each of the trainers, to get a feel for each person’s way of instruction. Everyone has a different style, so I wanted to compare and contrast. Fortunately, all the trainers are really great – there are some slight differences in how they break down movements. But consistent across every trainer was their focus on proper form, and then providing any variety of variations if one movement was too difficult, or you already hit fatigue. Even the pushup, which I assumed would have been perfect after years of doing them, needed to be tweaked so I could better protect my shoulders. That was honestly a little humbling 😊 I even did a training session with Paul, who seems to know any number of ways to get you to muscle fatigue! And the private yoga sessions with Ira were definitely helpful for someone with very limited yoga experience. My wife has done yoga much more than I, and absolutely loves Ira’s yoga classes!
    This is all a very verbose way of saying you need to go to Sand and Steel! Whether it is for personal training, classes, or yoga, they have a great program that is tailored to YOU.

    Paul is a miracle worker and the rest of his team is awesome as well. I went to Paul because of some lower back mobility issues and he came up with a program that really got results. Obviously you need to put in the work but if you do you will be rewarded.

    Also, the steps Paul has taken to make the gym safe during this pandemic are fantastic. You still need to show good judgment but if everyone works together it feels safe and stress free allowing you to focus on your fitness goals.
