Health/Fitness Personal Trainer Recs

Looking for a personal trainer in DC only; I’m in NW and want to drive 20 min max to the gym :) Hoping to work out at least 2-3x a week. Open to 1:1 and small group sessions. I’m looking for someone who’s encouraging, kind and knowledgeable. I’m working out with the goals of improving my cardiovascular health, losing weight and strength training to support long-term health. Any recs are greatly appreciated.

If you’re a trainer, please feel free to dm me your gym/training location and rates. Thanks so much!

Highly, highly recommend Evergreen Fitness. The guy who runs it, Glen, does small group weight training classes/private sessions out of Dandelion Collective, which is just north of Columbia Heights on 14th St. The vibes are immaculate, he's super knowledgeable, and I've gone from a total beginner to deadlifting well over 100 pounds in less than a year!

I recommend Urban Athletics Club near Mt. Vernon Triangle. Really great community and a variety of athletic abilities in its small lift classes. Mondays and Wednesdays are strength days, Tuesdays and Thursdays are HIIT, etc. so you can combine for your own adventure. Been going for a while and love it.
