Gene's Fitness Center: Opinions

5/5 (17 Opinions)

Fantastic experience: I've trained at GFC for 15 years and now I can't imagine life without it. I had been through countless trainers through those corporate gyms and always found myself dissatisfied with tardiness, laziness, and lack of results. GFC is so much better than that! A personalized program will be catered to your needs. You'll have your trainer's undivided attention for the full hour every session. You'll see results very quickly. And if you're ever hitting a plateau they will adapt your program to punch through it. My goals are centered around weightlifting and we got my bench from 125lbs to 250+. Deadlift from 150 to 420+. And their expertise extends beyond weightlifting programs. Whether you want to work on mobility, physical therapy, or overall fitness, you will be glad you tried out GFC.

Fantastic experience: A boutique fitness studio with highly knowledgeable staff. I’ve tried personal trainers up and down the east coast and these guys are the best. Personalized attention, highly curated fitness programs, great with strength, cardio, mobility, but especially competent in getting you results while keeping you injury-free. It really doesn’t get better than GFC!

Fantastic experience: If you're looking to up your fitness game, this is a great place to start. I've worked several times with the man himself and it has been more than productive. Gene is a great trainer, is certified and is a super friendly guy. I went to him particularly to up my kettlebell game but have gone back for speciality sessions on improving my squat and some other lifts I just wasn't doing is well (or as much) as I wanted. Highly recommended. Go for the kettlebell, stay for the excellence.

Fantastic experience: Was in town and a buddy of mine insisted we go for a group workout. I was admittedly a bit resistant at first (honestly, more just lazy), but I'm glad I listened. Gene was super friendly and very accommodating. He calibrated our weights and exercises based on what we could (or could not) do, and he gave none of the "oh man you are a warrior this is war " garbage that you see at too many gyms. I definitely recommend checking out his gym if you want to get your healthy on.

Fantastic experience: I have trained with Gene, and more recently with his associate James, for nearly 20 years. When I first started I had begun a middle age slump, and just wanted some help getting back into a routine of fitness. Gene met with me, discussed my goals, and quickly had me on a program that got me back into my “old self”. But I found Gene’s knowledge, patience, and follow through to be so helpful that I have subscribed to his fitness training ever since. Then in 2008, I suffered a major stroke, and I began the never ending climb to stroke recovery. Gene’s and James’ assistance and encouragement over the years have had an enormously positive effect on who I am, and what I am able to do, today. I can’t thank the two of them enough.

Fantastic experience: Gene has been my trainer for a number of years & I have only great things to say about him & his approach!! He is knowledgeable & very careful about form & appropriate levels of intensity! Because of his training, I am in excellent shape & have a great deal of stamina & balance!! No injuries ever! In addition, our workouts are fun & the sessions are never boring or “same-old, same-old”!! He is always encouraging & upbeat! His gym is always immaculately clean & orderly; he is always on time; a pleasure to work with!! I highly recommend Gene as a personal trainer—- well worth your investment!!

Fantastic experience: As a retired physician, I know the importance of daily exercise. I have been a member at multiple big box gyms in the area and have worked with many trainers in my life. About 5 years ago, I was working at another facility and realized I was missing that “SPARK” and that I needed change. I met Gene many years ago and decided that I would checkout his gym- GENE’S FITNESS CENTER IN Rockville, Maryland. I visited it and I immediately knew I found my new “home”! Gene knows my strengths and weaknesses better than I do. With his workouts, I have continued to build muscle and lose fat. This past March, life changed for everyone with CoVid 19. Gene was forced to temporarily close his gym and I decided to buy equipment per Gene’s recommendation so that we could do our workouts virtually. For 4 months, we worked out virtually 3 days a week and the workouts have been the highlight of my day during these tumultuous times. Not only did I lose 15+ pounds but also I gained more muscle and strength. Recently Gene re-opened his gym and has made a conscious effort to not only adhere to CDC guidelines, but has gone above and beyond the recommendations to include frequent cleaning, temperature checks, and adherence to the use of masks, as well as limiting capacity. I added on extra training at the gym with one of Gene’s coaches, Jeremy, in conjunction to working with Gene. In our first encounter, Jeremy performed an extensive evaluation of my body which included flexibility, strength and mobility. He asked about my goals and aspirations and from there he proceeded with amazing workouts. I feel very comfortable going to GENE’S FITNESS CENTER for my workouts and his coaching is superb. I will NEVER go back to a big box gym again!

Fantastic experience: Our whole family, including my 16-year old son works, out at Gene’s Fitness Center. Great facility, convenient location, dedicated professional coaches, fun and affordable classes, personalized private training - this gym has it all!

Fantastic experience: Gene and his staff are fantastic trainers who are able to deliver results while understanding how to create workouts that can work around a person's unique injury history and limitations. As a physical therapist, I frequently refer former patients and clients who wish to work with a trainer to his gym without reservations!

Fantastic experience: I am a runner and have been working out with Gene and his staff once a week for a year now. I did two hard running training programs and ran a sub-two hour half marathon (my fastest in 10 years) during that time. I credit them with getting me strong, keeping me motivated and injury free. I strongly recommend them to anyone who wants to get or stay in shape and be injury free.

Fantastic experience: If you ever considered getting serious about your workout - Gene's Fitness is the place to try. Working hard but staying injury-free is a delicate balance, but Gene and his crew manage it well. Highly recommended (and that's an understatement)

Fantastic experience: I have been a client of Gene's Fitness Center for the last 4 years and I would highly recommend them. I've worked out with 3 of the trainers and they are all good. They provide a tailored approach depending on your goals and any physical limitations you may have. I appreciate that they focus on form above all. I have worked out with numerous other trainers previously, but I saw my strength improve the most during my time here. I also like that this isn't a "normal" gym, so there are always a limited number of people in the gym at any time. There is flexibility with individual, 2:1, and group sessions as well. This team is worth taking a chance on, you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to Gene's Fitness Center for over 2 years and the results have been nothing short of dramatic. Gene is a very personable and knowledgeable trainer. He will not only get you in the best shape of your life, but do so in a very intelligent and structured way. Certainly everyone's general goal is to lose fat and gain muscle, but it's important to do so in a way that prevents injuries and improves your body's mobility and overall health. Gene delivers on all fronts.

Daniel Fox 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have recently started working out with Gene and let me tell you, I lost 10 lb within a month, and my overall fitness level improved tremendously, not to say that I feel so much better in general, tons of new energy. Gene really knows what he is doing, he can tailor your workouts to your specific needs, and is an expert at proper form to prevent injuries. I highly recommend Gene’s Fitness Center if you want to see and feel results!

Fantastic experience: Gene is wonderful and is incredibly knowledgeable. Coming to see him has significantly reduced my overall pain and given me a lot of confidence in my workout routine. I feel very comfortable with him in his studio compared to most gyms. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Will Gilchrist, Jr. 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Staff are all awesome. Very willing to listen to your goals and tailor a program to meet those as well as to challenge you along the way. If working with a trainer is something you’re looking for I’d highly recommend Gene and/or any one of his other trainers. I have experience with Gene and James and both are top notch. Great guys with a wealth of knowledge.
