I loved the workouts! If you are new to the gym, this place will get you comfortable with the gym equipment. Buy sessions and the trainers will track what workouts you should do, the gym equipment you need will always be available when you need it, and the trainers will spot you, give demos, and critique your form to make sure you are doing things right. I went from thinking 30 lb dumbbells were heavy and barely doing farmers walks with them to using 32.5 lb dumbbells for overhead presses! I loved that part of the program.

That being said, I wouldn't recommend the 6-week program. I upgraded to the 6 week program because the trainer showed me pictures of other people's results and it included nutrition sessions. Usually these programs promise helping you lose 20 lbs. or a noticeable percentage of body fat. I have a wedding coming up in a year and I thought it would be worth it to join this gym for the year to really work on toning my body. Well, in the 6 weeks, I only lost 2 lbs. and .4% body fat. Not really worth it in my opinion. I never had an official weigh-in or pictures taken at the gym. I only know my weight because I have a scale at home and log it myself on an app. The nutrition session wasn't helpful. I said that I realized protein was important so I was aiming to eat 100 grams of protein a day and work my way up to 150 grams a day. The trainer I talked to liked that and said to keep doing what I was doing. No other tips and we never had a check in about it, not even an accountability or progress check in. With no weight loss, no tracking, and no check ins, save some money and only pay for the sessions. For a few hundred dollars more I didn't get anything extra out of the 6 week program. Very disappointing.

My other general complaint is that the trainers weren't consistent in using the app the gym used. The morning trainers didn't enter the weight amounts I was lifting into the app, so if I went to the gym at a different time, the trainer working that shift wouldn't know how much I was lifting and I would usually get put at the default light starting weight. Eventually I started keeping track of the weights I was lifting myself on my own app. Hopefully they fix this problem. It was annoying not to A) have access to my lifting progress and B) have the trainers not be able to help me progress because no one was writing anything down. The afternoon guy was good about using the app, but if I went in the morning nothing would be tracked and my progress would be stunted for a session. I am sure if I stuck to the same trainer all the time this would be less of an issue, but with my schedule fluctuating I just wish it could have been a bit more consistent. The gym literally planned for this with the app, but the trainers weren't using the gym's tools.

Side notes I wish I knew before I started:
-There isn't a changing room here. If you come after work, you need to change in the bathroom. That's fine, just a heads up. The bathroom is across the basketball court and in the afternoon there are kids practicing on the court, so you kind of have to do your best to dodge them and get over there. Arrive to the gym in workout clothes. It's easier if you change before you get there.
-Bring your own water! The only water available is a Jug Dispenser. A few times when I went to the gym, they didn't have any available water because all their jugs were empty. I had to do my workout session without access to any water. Bring your own just to be safe. Usually they have cups and the dispenser, but you never knew when they would be out and if it's a rowing / cardio day then you'll wish you brought some.

I've been training here for almost 2 years and have been extremely pleased with the results. The quality of the program is top notch and the trainers are some of the best around. They make it easy to book time and are super flexible with scheduling too. As an avid tennis player, I've not only become a stronger and better player but haven't had an injury since I started at PowerTrain which I experienced regularly before joining. Definitely an unintended consequence but positive nonetheless!

My experience at Power Train over the past couple of years has been nothing short of amazing. The one-on-one approach with the trainers, their unwavering commitment to pushing you to excel, and their ability to listen and tailor a plan to your goals are truly commendable. The atmosphere is fantastic, and the trainers' extensive knowledge shines through. I highly recommend Power Train to anyone looking to achieve their fitness goals.

I was never very athletic, disliked exercise in general and quite intimidated to start weightlifting as a middle-aged woman. I can say all that has changed after 2 years of consistently excellent training at PT Rockville. The trainers have pushed and educated me and are truly top notch professionals. I am stronger, more agile and energetic. The overall atmosphere is welcoming, friendly and encouraging no matter where you are on the fitness spectrum.

So far this gym is great! It's the people that make it!
Only one session in but the vibe here is no nonsense yet very friendly. The trainers are in it with you, counting you down, mentoring your form and holding you accountable.

So many gyms in the area are full of fluff. Not Power Train, you walk in and you immediately know why you're there. And it doesn't matter where you're starting, they got you!

If you’re looking to get stronger, feel better, or just be more awesome this is the place. I have not been this consistent with working out and seeing results since I played organized sports in high school. I have been making consistent progress and al I have to do is show up and do the work. Powertrain makes it super easy and their trainers are all awesome.

My son has been training with them since the end of February and the results have been phenomenal. He's is preparing to go into high school to play football and he is far ahead of the other freshman in terms of strength and endurance. They train the whole body and teach you how to properly train to avoid injury.
