Kelly is an AWESOME trainer! She is incredibly knowledgeable about body mechanics and ensures each exercise is the right one for you and your goals. The entire team is welcoming and the gym is perfect for personal training.

I have been a client of Kelly’s since 2021 and it has been a truly wonderful experience! She customizes each session to my needs and always keeps it interesting with something new. Before meeting Kelly I was not motivated enough to maintain a consistent workout routine and since going to Body Shop I’ve found myself looking forward to working out. Kelly and Bill are the kindest people and I highly recommend them both as they will help you get the results for your fitness goals!

I have been a client of Kelly & Bill since 2018. For five years, I have been working out with them three days a week. I have never stuck with the same exercise routine for this long in my life. Previously, I'd get bored or lose motivation. Now, with Kelly & Bill, I stay motivated, and I have met all my goals for weight and strength. They have been great with scaling exercises for the times I come in with some injuries or soreness from doing other activities, and have been there for 2 ACL reconstructive rehabs. If I could give them 6 stars, I would.
Finally - as I read through the existing reviews to get a feel for what others have experienced, I saw some recent negative reviews - there is no way the people who are leaving these reviews are actual clients of theirs. If you are here reading reviews to get an indication of their abilities as trainers, disregard them and go in and personally meet Bill & Kelly.

I have worked out at Body Shop for years - there is no one I would trust more than the Matthews. Anyone who truly knows them, knows that they really care about their clients, who become family - just take a look at the photos that cover the walls! I have become stronger, leaner and happier working out with them! Thank you, Kelly and Bill!!

I have never been athletic and was naturally thin until my late 30’s. However when I turned 45 and was at my heaviest I knew it was time to get serious about my health. I knew I wanted one on one personal training (as I’m not a gym fan) and I could not have chosen a better place than the Body Shop Fitness! All the trainers are professional, knowledgeable and motivate you to be a better you! The atmosphere inspires you to work hard and my trainer Kelly is supreme! She is invested in my overall health and is supportive not only during training but of my life goals in general! I feel like family and the muscles, strength and weight loss are the bonus! I have never been stronger and look forward to my sessions! Hands down the best ever!

I absolutely love Jamie at the Body Shop! She has such a gentle, compassionate, yet proactive approach when she works with me. She is extremely good, too, at managing my previous injuries by customizing my workouts to match my abilities. I look forward to each session with her because her holistic approach makes me feel strong-- both mentally and physically. She is so gifted at what she does and she clearly loves her work. I highly recommend her, and the new Body Shop location is so lovely!

Body Shop Fitness is the perfect place for training - beautiful space, great equipment and a gorgeous view of the Potomac. Working with Jamie is amazing - she has reshaped my body to be stronger, leaner and healthier. This is not a boot camp but a totally personalized approach that focuses on individual goals, and the results are obvious.

You won’t be disappointed at the Body Shop. I like supporting a small business where owners are passionate about fitness, collaborate well with their training staff, and are friendly and welcoming. I've worked for months with Jamie who is a great teacher with high energy even on days when I am tired or achy. Jamie provides me with a personalized training experience that’s adaptive and flexible to meet my goals and schedule – so I don’t want to miss a session. I dropped a trainer at my full-service gym because I like Jamie’s method so much better.

After researching personal trainers, I was worried that I wouldn’t be “hard core” enough to be accepted as a client here, because their resumes are exceptional. But, I was wrong - Kelly and Bill meet each client where ever they are in their journey, and they understand that sometimes you need to take a step back in order to keep moving forward. They are patient, knowledgeable, and supportive of everyone’s individual fitness journey. Their clients are like family, and they have become a part of my life that I couldn’t imagine not having. Kelly has walked me through the physical challenges of recovery from breast cancer. I would not be as strong as I am today without Body Shop. If you have goals, you’re ready for change, or need help with commitment, you have a place here.

I love the services provided by the Body Shop. Kelly and Bill are highly professional and knowledgeable. I train with Kelly and she is amazing. She really caters to my needs. She understands any constraints that I may have and she designs my workouts to accommodate those. She is very patient and is always ready to adapt my workout as needed. The new location of the studio is absolutely gorgeous!! I highly recommend the Body shop!

I was surprised by Kelly's email I received the morning of March 23rd in regards to her dropping me as a client because my response time was not to her liking. She gave me no warning and didn’t inquire about why I didn’t respond in a timely fashion.
Obviously, her lack of empathy for her clients is on full display, despite her telling me that she cared about your client’s success and fitness goals.
Her inability to properly address me on March 14th and March 21st requesting my weight, showed no respect for me as a client. She didn’t address me by my name, ask me how I was doing, or ask me how was my day. For example, March 14th e-mail read, “You didn't send your weight yesterday”. That email was so unprofessional.
Greeting and asking about a client’s day may seem trivial to her but in the world of decency and respect, it shows some personal short comings on her part. I have two co-workers who live in the city of Alexandria who are looking for a Personal Trainer and wanted to know the outcome of working with Kelly. Clearly, they won’t be signing up!
In hindsight, her decision to drop me as a client is good for me, because I don’t want to work with anyone with her issues.

Wow! A total gem! Amazing location with a full view of the Potomac and the most professional, thoughtful, expert owners and staff. Bill is an excellent personal trainer with years of experience and a terrific attitude. He pays close attention to your ability, form and goals to give me the perfect work out that has been so beneficial!! Love them!!

I am so grateful for Kelly & Bill's dedication to their craft. It is with their expert training that I can manage my chronic back pain (military injury). I know it's been a tough transition to the new location, but am SOOO grateful for their efforts because what they due is truly transformative. Very excited to "see" the studio they created out of nothing through sheer willpower, strong muscles, and amazing support. And even more excited to see the final studio when it is finally finished!!!

These guys are awesome. Their expertise and experience is off-the-charts. But it's also a totally friendly and inviting environment where folks of all fitness levels feel totally welcome. My experience getting personal training sessions here has been nothing short of phenomenal. You couldn't find a nicer bunch of trainers to help get you motivated and moving!
