I am on my 3rd week at the gym and to say I love it is an understatement. I not only look forward to getting up and going to the gym but when I get tired I have so much positive reinforcement telling me I can do it. As a woman it's always nice to have a safe place where you're not judged on what your capabilities are. I highly recommend this gym!!

Although I haven’t been training with Avenger for long, this place has been an absolute life saver and a huge positive impact in so many ways. I truly can’t thank Estreya, the other coaches/trainers, and the others working out at Avenger Athletics enough. Every person I’ve come into contact with working out here has been so kind, encouraging, and supportive. I always look forward to getting to work every training session I have here and can’t wait to keep working on my personal goals! This place is truly an amazing space to workout, if you are on the fence about training here, you will not regret it!

I’m not 20 and so protecting my body from injury matters to me. I told my coach I wanted to compete without hurting myself in the process. She is amazing, evaluating, watching, correcting if my position is not right. I drive an hour to get here and it is totally worth it!

We have had an amazing experience at Avenger athletics. The journey started with my 12 year-old daughter who shot up about 4 inches and needed a lot of strength training and command of her body and muscles. Estreya worked with her encouraged and empowered her s teach sessions with such calm and dedication. I see so much growth in her mindset, her determination and overall body strength. She is a competitive swimmer As her primary sport, and with her growth really needed stabilization and strength. When I watch her swim now, she leaps off of the block and as well on the way to dropping more time and protecting her joints. Ultimately after 6 to 8 weeks, my daughter dragged me into training. I was reluctant at first and honestly intimidated by the type of workout. To see myself now lifting barbells, doing squats and weights, it’s incredible. I feel strong and proud to have joined this journey with my daughter! I am so thankful for Estreya’s amazing coaching, infectious laugh, and the gym family that we have at our 5 AM meet up !!!

Best gym in the area! I couldn't say enough good things about this gym.The workouts are great and I can see changes in my body in less than 1 month. Estrella is fabulous, she has absolute knowledge depending on the type of results you are looking for, muscle gain, fat burning, conditioning, weight lifting, nutrition, she is amazing!!! The workout is almost personalized, the classes are small, which allows you to focus on the movements and the coaches are always checking on you for best results. Well-equipped and very, very clean gym. I feel like family here, the camaraderie is great, everyone is cheering you on! Fantastic place to train.

Coach Estreya is first and foremost so welcoming when you first meet her! You immediately know that you made the right choice when choosing a gym and a coach. The support and encouragement she provides when you start training makes you want to come back for more (and then even some more!) Her knowledge and care when coaching gets you completely invested in the work you’re doing, which fuels your drive to push yourself forward in your training. She doesn’t just focus on your physical health, she also prioritizes your mental and emotional health and general well- being, which makes you feel like the best version of yourself in all areas. I started at Avenger Athletics 2 months ago with the intention to “lose some weight,” but I can honestly say everything that I have gained (strength, discipline, mental health stability, confidence, a routine - the list goes on) by being part of the Avenger Athletics community will never compare to any amount of weight that I will lose. The best of the best!

I have been going to Avenger Athletics for about 8 months and I am loving the results. Not only am I losing weight, but I am also getting stronger and my mobility has gotten so much better. Estreya will create a customized workout that fits YOU. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to improve their health and challenge themselves!

My problem with traditional gyms was that there was always an excuse to put off my workouts for another time or another day. Then, I'd get to the gym and have to work around other people for the same equipment.

The structure of the Avenger classes means there's a set time for workouts. For me, it's made it easier to prioritize gym time. Coach Estreya sets the workout plans and customizes them to different abilities. The equipment is ready to go, and the facility is kept clean.

Avenger Athletics made it possible for me to maintain a workout routine, and I look forward to continuing my fitness journey.

I have been a member at Avenger Athletics Gym for seven months. When I started, I had difficulty with some of the simplest exercises. My wife and I go and work out together. We attend faithfully and have fun while working hard and pushing each other. This was made possible by the acceptance and encouragement we received from Estraya and the other members of the gym. Some who are world class strongmen & women. We are not looked down on. We are cheered on for all of our successes. My strength, flexibility and endurance have increased dramatically in the 7 months I have spent working out. I love lifting heavy weights and going for personal records, which I have been able to achieve at nearly every attempt. I am 56-years old and haven’t been in this good of shape since I was in college. I no longer listen to the naysayers. My own brother warned me that I was too old to lift heavy weights. I am now charting my own course and love where my life is headed. I’m losing weight, gaining muscle, and my confidence has soared. Thank you Estraya, Avenger Athletics, and especially my wife Tonja for pushing me to improve my health and my life. My outlook is so much brighter because of you!!

This is not your average gym. If you are trying to lose weight they have your back. If you are trying to get physically strong they can guide you. I have been working out there for one year and let me tell you, Iife has gotten a lot easier because I can do things now like rearrange my furniture and shock other people. My health is better. I am getting better. I can’t wait to see how things will go next year!

This is not your average gym. Estreya works hard to make sure you have all the knowledge you need to succeed. Weight lifting, cardio, nutrition, and healing injuries she does it all. Estreya cares about the whole person's health . Don't come here and think you're going to walk 60 minutes on a tread mill -there isn't even one🤣🤣😁.

Training at Avenger Athletics under Coach Estreya has been fantastic. She is deeply engaged with her clients, focusing on both physical and mental health. Her innovative and fresh training techniques make workouts exciting and effective.

As a former college athlete, I find Coach Estreya’s workouts more engaging and stimulating than those at my previous schools. She is a genius and a true artist at her craft. I highly recommend Avenger Athletics to anyone looking to elevate their fitness journey under an exceptional coach.

I recently started training at Avenger Athletics and every week I see improvement in my strength!! Coach Estreya is detailed about my form and has provided exercises specific to my limitations which have increased my range of motion. Coach's knowledge and experience is exactly what I was looking for from a trainer. Workout and nutrition tracking with Coach Estreya provides additional quality to my experience at Avenger Athletics.

I started going here to get in better shape and to lose weight so I can get a hernia fixed. I also have some other issues due to working at home and not moving around much. With the help of the services offered here. I have lost the weight for my surgery and this has vastly improved my overall quality of life. I highly encourage anyone who is interested to give this a try.

I go to this gym. I can’t say enough about how great this gym is. If you don’t already know how to exercise they will teach you. They are patient, they coach you, they are supportive, if you have limited mobility they can help you. If you are used to the crappy $10 a month gyms, get ready for a really pleasant change here. The atmosphere is people at all fitness levels trying to help each other, and coaches who coach and inspire. I’m over 50 and diabetic, and never in my life thought I would ever be able to lift heavy weights. With great coaching and persistence, I am now able to lift over 150 lbs and I LOVE LOVE LOVE coming in here. I used to hate gym days. Now, it’s a bad day when I CANT go to the gym.

Attention! That's what you'll find at Avenger Athletics...attention. Attention to detail, to form, to options and more options, to support. Coach Estreya ensures there is a scaled option for every level of athlete - if you lift just the bar or you lift national record breaking weight...this gym is for you.

I am so glad I started with Avenger!!! I'm retired and I don't have the best self-discipline when it comes to diet and exercise. I knew the clock was ticking if I wanted to maintain, then improve my strength AND lose some weight. Avenger Athletics quickly became the best place for me. Coach Estreya is very supportive, knowledgable and loves her job, which is helping each person define their own fitness goals and providing the tools to accomplish them. I've lost 24 pounds in 7 months! Yeah!!!!!!

After my husband passed I just let my health go downhill and knew I had to do something about it. I thought a lot about getting started on fitness and nutrition but did nothing about it. It was hard just to get off the couch. But then I had a meeting with Estreya and she was so friendly and knowledgeable. She assured me that I could get back in shape and feel better. This is only my 3rd week there but I can honestly say that it's one of the best decisions I ever made. Estreya is wonderful and truly cares about the people in the gym and so encouraging. Everyone is so friendly and non judgemental. Now I love hopping in my car and getting to the gym early to see what she has in store for me!

I had the pleasure of working with Estreya as she trusted my marketing agency 3C Digital Co. with collecting brand photography during live sessions. Through my lens, I could tell how much she cares for each of her clients' journeys and focuses on their achievements and success. I found her in-person and virtual class options to be great options and shows her flexibility in her service. Estreya and her team were professional and welcoming to me and clients that were there during our shoot. I highly recommend Estreya for those who want to focus on building their physical strength no matter what stage of fitness you may be!

My husband and I are very grateful to Coach Estreya as she helped us to jumpstart are health.
We joined one of her nutrition challenges and have learned so much about the proper portion size of food, the value of each food group, and how it all supports your body along side the great work outs!
We are much stronger and have more energy for our active boys!

The facility is very clean, organized and well equipped. Coach Estreya is incredibly knowledgeable in strength training, body mechanics, mobility, overall health and wellness and much more. I’ve trained with a variety of trainers in the past including strength and conditioning coaches as a Division 1 athlete. Coach Estreya is just as knowledgeable as the coaches I trained with at that level, if not more. I recommend Avenger Athletics to anyone wanting to get stronger, feel better or even compete in powerlifting, strongman, etc. Whether your goal is overall fitness and health or you are a competitive athlete, Coach Estreya has the knowledge and professionalism to help you meet your goals. Avenger Athletics is top notch.

Nervous to sign up as I'm over 40 and exhausted most of the time. Raising two little ones 5 and under, I knew I needed to make some changes. I decided to make an appointment and see the gym. It's been 3 weeks since I signed up for 1 on 1 personal training and confidence is already coming back as well as strength. Estreya is the owner/trainer and makes sure to meet me where I am and tailors the workouts towards my fitness level and previous injuries. She even allows me to bring my 3 year old with me to workout. Thus far, I have been pleased and grateful. I'm looking forward to learning more and getting fit again.

Over a year later and I have been still training at Avenger Athletics. A lot of the commentary below still rings true. Avenger Athletics has helped continue to make me stronger. I have lifted more weight then I have ever lifted. My arms and legs are tone. I feel fantastic! Avengers workouts are always new and challenging. No more trying to figure out on your own what to do in the gym to get results. She programs so you see gains and tone every part of your body. I am only a small piece of this gyms success, I see people in there every day making changes and creating good habits. The members push you and also make you feel a sense of accountability so you keep getting your butt to the gym. I have worked out many places where you are just a number to fill a membership, here at Avengers you get that personal attention you need to make positive changes.

Since the last post, I found out that I was pregnant and trained with Estreya (the coach) through my entire pregnancy. Estreya worked with me on modifications so i could stay active up until two days before delivery. I was in the best shape during my pregnancy and didn't gain any weight. In postpartum she worked with me to ease back in to the gym modifying as needed since I was still healing including prescribing breathing exercises and strength that targeted the spots that needed the most attention.

Lastly, Avenger Athletics continually stays up to date on the latest and greatest, attending nutrition and fitness workshops. I think that is so important and what elevates a gym to great!! She wants her members to achieve results and she takes that knowledge and weaves it into her programming and philosophy. I am particularly proud of the gyms accomplishments most recently training a young powerlifter (Angelina) who is 17 for Nationals and possibly Worlds!! Angelina already holds a few
records!

If you are looking for a place to be inspired and make positive changes, Avenger Athletics can do this for you.

Summer 2018
I have been working out with Estreya for four months now, why? because i needed the motivation. I was having trouble feeling motivated and getting out there and just doing it! She has reinvigorated working out for me. I have gone from zero to muscle in just four months.

I am from the Northern VA area and found it hard to find a trainer when we moved to this area. A trainer that really knew what they were talking about. Estreya is more than a trainer, she encompasses everything that is important when it comes to working out. She cares about your form in a serious way, she stresses the importance of diet and will help you find your way, she constantly researches and educates herself on all things fitness. She is certified in several specialties and her love and passion for fitness really is demonstrated in each and every work out. I have never had the same workout twice. Boredom, NEVER! She listens to your goals and programs for you to achieve those RESULTS.

Her gym is personal, in an intimate setting (but there's nothing small about it). You don’t feel intimidated or that your competing against anyone, the only competition is for you to get better and to be the best YOU.

If you need the right person to reach your goals, Estreya and Avenger Athletics is it!

There is only one word to describe Estreya and Avenger Athletics: Community. I have never truly found my ‘tribe’ or ‘people’ and as a working military spouse, the opportunity to take care of myself is extremely limited. Then I met Estreya and the wonderful community that she has created. I joined for me and she helps me own that. Estreya not only holds me accountable but she also teaches me to love myself and use my strength to grow both emotionally and physically. I am stronger, more attentive to my mind and body, and have a community of men and women behind me.
Note: For you working moms out there, if I can do this and make time for myself, then you can too. Her hours are amazing and children are welcome to hang out during the workout. Reach out to Estreya, join this amazing community!

Avenger Athletics is run by Estreya. She is a wonderful trainer and coach, she challenges, inspires and motivates. I originally joined to loss some weight. I have been losing weight, but I got a lot more then that. All who attend are encouraging, motivating and inspiring. I feel a sense of belonging, and community. I like the small, personal environment where you can be individually challenged, yet large enough to meet people from all walks of life.
I have learned that our bodies can do just about anything it is our minds we really have to convince. Everyday I am challenged to do more then I sometimes believe I can and everyday I walk out with a sense of accomplishment knowing I did it. If you are looking for a gym that is not your average go workout and go home, where you will probably make a friend or two, be encouraged to do more then you think you may be able to, with a talented, strong, encouraging, funny and all around amazing trainer, give Avenger Athletics a try.
