IN OUR CLIENTS' WORDS
PERSONAL TRAINING
"Aryan has been my trainer for almost two years as well as the trainer for various members of my family, and during the pandemic we have continued virtual training three times a week. He is able to pinpoint exactly what my body needs for my age and my physical strengths and limitations – and he observes carefully as I train and explains the purpose of the specific exercise. Aryan is not only knowledgeable but also creative in coming up with exercises that I might need on any specific day. I always look forward to my sessions, and my body and mind feel invigorated when they are over."

"I’ve done personal training on four separate occasions over the last 6 years. Method Fitness has by far been the best experience i’ve ever had — hands down. The trainers, specifically, Mike Bogdon have been reliable and incredibly knowledgeable on how the body works. In my experience, trainers at various gyms (OneLife, Golds etc.) have been late consistently, cancelled, and did not seem invested in my growth. Mike (my trainer) and the owner Aryan are committed to seeing their clients grow and i’ve felt that throughout the entire process. I just renewed for the third time with Method and i am hopeful, more now than ever, that I am making a sound investment. I’ve gained 10lbs of muscle in less than two months — this is the first time i’ve actually seen growth as a result of my training."

"I’ve been training at Method Fitness for a little over 2 months now, and hands down, this has been the best training I’ve ever done! Thoemaas Lozier is my personal trainer/coach, and he is outstanding!! I had to unlearn a lot to relearn healthier approaches to training, and in 2 months alone, my core has gotten stronger, I have much better balance and overall more endurance. I’ve also lost weight, but in a much healthier approach. The atmosphere is so welcoming and everyone is kind and down to earth! Would 100% absolutely recommend Method Fitness, and I’m grateful to have Thoemaas as my personal trainer."

"I have dealt with shoulder issues for years. It always resulted in my workouts being interrupted. Aryan and Method Fitness have allowed me to consistently train without injuries. Aryan has helped me surmount issues with my form, and he easily addresses problems I have with any particular exercise. I have been training with him for over two years and can’t imagine going anywhere else."

"Method fitness has been an amazing push to really start working out in a sustainable and healthy way. Before this, I would go to the gym and do cardio a few days a week but I never really saw much of an impact. After a few short months I can tell how much more toned and strong I am and how much easier it is to lose weight. The trainers here are awesome and very professional, and cater your exercises to you. I highly recommend method if you’re intimidated by lifting and really want to get instruction on the best way to lift and work out for your body type. My trainer was Noah and he has been amazing from the start, and has really been great at listening and helping me overcome obstacles. I’ve really appreciated how easy it is to get along with the trainers and how they take their time to explain things and help you improve."

"I've been working with Mateo for about 2 months now. I have nothing but good things to say about Method Fitness. The trainers strike a great balance between taking their jobs seriously but being willing to crack a joke with you.
As someone who considers themselves an "intermediate" lifter - I found Method has helped me become a lot less injury prone in my workouts. It's been a very educational (and humbling!) experience and I look forward to several more months training here. Aryan has done a great job building up this business!"

"Method Fitness personnel training is the way to go. Personnel trainer, Evelina, energizes and designs a workout for each client that is challenging and never the same. Increase strength, stability, and stamina is achieved at Method Fitness. The environment is clean, friendly, and I highly recommend this workout establishment."

"Never much one for physical fitness, as I get closer to retirement, I wanted to be in better shape. Have worked with Jeff two times a week for about half a year, and it has been great. His workouts are cleverly designed to help me work through my particular issues, and I am really enjoying more strength and stability. The atmosphere in the fitness center is great—very supportive. Strongly recommend!"

"At the end of 2021, I wanted to commit to making my health a priority and improving my fitness. As someone who has avoided gyms most of my life, I was not comfortable going to a big box gym or a group fitness studio. I knew I would be better off working one-on-one with a personal trainer in a less intimidating environment. Enter Method Fitness and my trainer, Alex.
Alex customizes workouts to my fitness level and always has modifications on deck if I’m not quite there yet. I train with him several times a week and appreciate that he intentionally builds variety into my program so I’m not doing the same exercises on repeat.
One of the best things about working with Alex is his focus on making sure I understand and am comfortable with each component of my workout. As a newbie, this is definitely appreciated.
The space itself is nice and conveniently located in Arlington. There are usually a couple other trainers conducting sessions when I’m there. Everyone is friendly and contributes to the inclusive, low-pressure vibe.
I’m incredibly grateful I found Alex and Method Fitness. My sessions have genuinely become a highlight of my week — something I never would have expected."

"I've been working with Aryan for close to a year now, and not only has he been helping me meet my fitness goals, but he's also been helping me deal with a chronic upper shoulder pain I've had for years. Aryan's philosophy is more about holistic well-being and strength conditioning/building. More than just focusing on aesthetics, he is helping me build a life-long fitness program that is not only measurable, but also sustainable.
In addition to making sure that we are working the muscle groups I need to strengthen to ameliorate my chronic shoulder pain, he also ensures that my cardiac and postural health remain sound. While my chronic shoulder pain has significantly decreased since I started working with Aryan, I also feel much stronger and I am more confident of myself both in terms of appearance and overall physical health. His sessions are designed to push yourself to the limit without over-stressing your body. He is very meticulous about making sure that you are not inflicting pain or carrying out injury-attracting actions during exercises. He will ask you several times whether the correct muscles are being activated, if not, he will pause and guide you through the exercise again.
On top of all this, he provides you with dietary advice, and he does this with care, making sure not to upset your financial thresholds and respecting your choice in food. All in all, Aryan understands that most of us are not professional athletes, and he designs his programs with that expectation and reality. I would highly recommend Aryan to anyone looking for a general fitness guide or to anyone looking to put on mass and/or become stronger."

"I came to Method with an injury caused from doing exercises incorrectly at another place. Evelina helped get me passed that injury which had plagued me for months. The focus here is on building up a strong base while developing good technique. They really seem to put a lot of thought not only in what exercises they’re going to have you do but also why they’re having you do them. Five stars are not enough to do this place justice!"

"My experience with Aryan was fantastic. I had been working out for a while beforehand, but not seeing results I wanted. Aryan took the time to customize workouts to my goals, push me, and help me learn about how my body actually works. The amount I learned from him was tremendous. He was always available to answer questions anytime and provide guidance on other exercise topics or nutrition. With his guidance, planning and leadership, my wife and I both won the Gold's Gym Transformation Challenge, both losing over 20 lbs each."

"I have worked with 2 trainers at Method and am currently working with Evelina. I had never had a dedicated trainer before this but I am seeing a lot of positive changes. Evelina is super attentive and is always finding new ways to challenge me. She listens during the initial session in addition to changing goals. She can also modify her approach if you are feeling under the weather etc. I highly recommend this place!"

"After years a trying group fitness classes and solo gym workouts, I am glad I finally found Method Fitness - which is what I have been looking for for years. It is a gym that pairs you with a certified trainer for one-on-one coaching sessions. At your first visit, Aryan - the founder - sits down with you to discuss your fitness goals and then connects you with a trainer to make it happen. I was paired with Noah who has been amazing. He has helped me train better by teaching me the correct form, which has enabled me to get stronger. My sessions also improved my knee and back pain which has mostly been a nonissue since working out with Noah. I highly recommend Method Fitness if your looking to make a change in your fitness routine. I have noticed results - as have my friends, which has made this a worthwhile investment. I can’t thank Aryan and Noah enough."

"I started working with Aryan last summer to gain strength and power that could translate to faster swimming. Aryan has helped me do just that. I have seen great improvement in all of my major lifts while simultaneously removing pain or discomfort I had from them in the past. I also have felt much stronger in the water. Definitely recommend!"

"I enthusiastically recommend Method Fitness, and specifically my trainer Thoemass. I had been in physical therapy for hip arthritis and back issues for six months. After my PT ended, I wanted to continue to progress, and my therapist recommended Method Fitness. I am thrilled to have found this unique training center, and my trainer Thoemass. His personalized approach is geared to an understanding of your body physiology and your specific condition/s, and then developing a program to improve them, at your pace. Thoemass has developed a training program for me based on building strength, not necessarily how much weight I can lift or number of reps. Unlike personal training I’ve done at gyms in the past, Thoemass’ approach is truly “personal” training, tailored to my goal of maintaining an active lifestyle as a “senior”. In the past two months, I have definitely seen an improvement in my strength and stamina. Each session is structured, but never repetitive, and geared to how your body is feeling that day.
Method Fitness is only a one on one training facility, so it has a serious vibe in that everyone is there for a specific reason, and is committed, but the atmosphere is at the same time friendly and light-hearted. You will never to go back to personal training at a gym after you experience Method Fitness!"

"I love coming here! I always look forward to my sessions with Noah. He’s attentive and modifies my exercises depending on my energy level, pain I may be feeling, and/ or strength levels. He also adds lots of variety to the workouts, never doing the same exercise in a 1 month span.
Overall, Method fitness has a great atmosphere, everyone here is super kind and the gym is very clean! After about 2 months of going here I’ve seen lots of improvement in my overall tone and strength and have been able to reach several goals I set for myself. I definitely recommend this place!"

"I’ve been working with Mateo at Method Fitness since March 2021. He pushes his clients hard, but knows how to adjust as needed for injuries (or hangovers). All the equipment at Method is new and state-of-the-art and, because it’s personal training only, it’s never crowded or intimidating. They work with a diverse group of clients who all appear to have different training needs, but I always feel like my sessions were customized for me and my fitness goals. It’s a great gym for anyone who wants a 1:1 experience and I couldn’t be happier with my choice to train there. #bodybyMateo"

"I came to Method Fitness with rather specific performance goals in mind and a decently tight turnaround for them. For most, this challenge could easily have been met with "I'm sorry, I'm not sure you can get to where you need to be. Good luck." Instead, Aryan and Method Fitness gave me Mike. I've been working with Mike for the past two months, and I've had an absolutely amazing experience. Individualized workouts that adapt alongside my growth, and a non-judgmental resource at your disposal for all questions and conversations. Here, I receive encouragement, challenges, and honesty regarding both the goals and progress of my workouts. It's an atmosphere of camaraderie and drive that I cannot recommend enough, whatever your purpose."

I have been able to push my limits in ways I could not have done alone, and have seen a marked difference in myself before and after working with Aryan. A+. Highly Recommended!"

"I would highly recommend Method Fitness. I've been working with Alex for about 3 months and the workouts are interesting, personalized, and I can tell I'm making a lot of progress with his help. I had never done any sort of personal training or weight lifting before and was a little nervous at first as I find traditional gym environments to be a slightly intimidating. Method Fitness has always felt welcoming and Alex is able to answer all questions I have (and I always feel comfortable asking them!). If you're on the fence, absolutely try it out, the first session is free and there are no hidden fees. You literally have nothing to lose and a lot to gain!"

"Method Fitness is more than just a place to train, it has become a place to heal and create a strong physical foundation for the next chapter of my life. When I first began at Method, I had recently experienced a traumatic injury in addition to the chronic pain I had been living with for over 10 years. Aryan listened attentively to my concerns and goals during my intake, and was quickly able to identify areas of opportunity. Based on my history and condition, he paired me with Thoemaas; I have been working with him over three months, and now the majority of my days are pain-free. Thoemaas' breadth of knowledge and specialization in corrective movement has been integral to my healing journey. He is incredibly patient and entertains all of my questions, eager to educate. The benefit I get from the hour I spend with him each week is far more valuable than my physical therapy sessions. Thoemaas and Method have made Monday my favorite day of the week!"

"My husband was sick of seeing me struggle through triathlon training and races and he laid down the law and sent me to Aryan. Aryan took the time and effort to understand my training, my physical limitations, and set practical goals. Moreover, he worked with my triathlon coach to develop manageable workouts that I can do anywhere (traveling working lawyer hockey mom of 2 and amateur age grouper). He is the type of trainer that gives you 200% during your session. Pushes you when you need it and eases it when it's necessary. The workouts are never the same and are always creative and fun. He works to mentally ensure that you are engaged so that you can excel physically. The results are clear. I'm faster, in less pain, and stronger to face my new race season."

"I have been really happy at Method Fitness. The trainer I work with, Christian Christofferson, is excellent. He is attentive, patient, quietly insistent on good form, and very positive. No two sessions are alike, with a wide range of exercises and an increasing level of difficulty as I have been ready. For all the hard work it is fun, the atmosphere very pleasant and everyone is friendly."

"I have had nothing but an excellent experience working with Jeff and Aryan at Method. Jeff really puts in the work to address any questions I have about form and seems to really know his stuff. I've been to 3 other personal training places and nowhere provides the individualized experience you get at Method. The facility is great too since it's just personal training with no crowds. Highly recommend!"

"Aryan is an EXCELLENT personal trainer. His approach isn't "one-size-fits-all." He tailors each workout specifically to where I'm at in my progression, pushing me where I need it, and focusing on areas that still need a little work. He has a fantastic demeanor; professional, non-judgmental, and easy-going with a great sense of humor. HIGHLY recommended!"

"For over a decade and a half, I've struggled to find a trainer who took time to understand body issues that were specific to my body type and train me based on my body's needs. I've had over 10 trainers, all of whom I've had to stop training with because they just couldn't get the job done (and ended up injuring me). I'm not usually somebody to leave reviews but I truly feel like people out there should meet Aryan to understand and experience the difference between a trainer and a "personal" trainer. Apart from being very focused on me and my every movement during the one hour I train with him and constantly correcting my positions, he is also very accommodating to my travel and work schedule, which is something I truly appreciate. Also, while he definitely pushes you, he isn't somebody who would push you to an extent that would lead you to potentially injure yourself. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to give him a solid few weeks at a stretch to get my body to the level I'd like it to be due to my travel schedule, but if you have time and the commitment, I highly highly recommend Aryan."

"I've been training with Aryan for a few months now and I can say I've definitely seen progress. Aryan is knowledgeable about the CORRECT way to complete exercises, takes the time to educate his clients on healthy eating habits and additional points of interest, and tailors the exercise program to his client's goals/needs. Training with Aryan means partnering with an experienced professional to create meaningful lifestyle changes which has allowed me to improve my health and overall quality of life. As a working mom, it's been a struggle to maintain healthy exercise/eating habits but working with Aryan has encouraged me to continue working towards my weight loss/health goals. I've never been an athlete and have struggled with weight most of my life but I feel that with Aryan's guidance, I'm building a better me, for myself and my family. Thank you Aryan!"

"Training with Aryan was one of the best decisions I have ever made! I started training with Aryan in September 2018. I have never been an athletic person and I have always been bad at sports. In the last couple of years, my back and shoulders really started hurting, and when yoga and Pilates didn't help, I decided to give personal training a try. I have noticed a tremendous change in the strength level of my back. It doesn't hurt as much!
Aryan creates a unique workout program tailored to you, your body, and your energy level. We train every Monday, and every time I see him the workout is different and specifically tailored to me. Even though I'm not always familiar with the exercise, Aryan makes me feel comfortable trying new things and I don't worry about feeling silly or stupid if I don't do them right. I credit Aryan with keeping me motivated to exercise and eat healthily for the rest of the week!
I can only thank Aryan. Training with him has notably improved my health."

"I’m so glad I found this place! About 6 months ago, I was really looking into personal training and places near me and found Method Fitness. The reviews were great and honestly I can say after training here for many months, it definitely lives up to its reviews! Mateo Moore has been my trainer since I’ve started and literally is the best! He’s really encouraging and always challenges me in the best way possible. He always finds ways to make working out fun, especially with his singing and music choices. I also love how method fitness is strictly a private personal training studio, it really makes everyone feel so much more comfortable with their workouts!!"

I have now been training with Mateo for a couple months and I've been nothing but satisfied! Mateo is an excellent trainer and he has made me feel strong and happy with myself. For example, I can now lift more than my weight! I love that it's one on one and you are just training and getting stronger! My trainer knows exactly what he is doing and knows exactly how to personalize the training for me."
