DC Strength & Nutrition

I was facing a serious medical issue: scarring of my liver from years of "fatty liver." I needed to change my lifestyle. I had already started working out with a trainer, but I knew I needed the nutrition component to see real results. Kylie had been invited to speak at my workplace, so I followed up with her and booked my first one-on-one. Kylie is a wonderful person who really cares about her clients. She gets to the root of an issue while validating your feelings and emotions. With Kylie's help, we made an initial plan, and she helped me stick with it. As my needs change, so does my plan. I've lost 20 lbs. since working with her (in addition to my strength training). I can't express enough how great she is!

Incredibly warm and friendly group of people and DC Strength & Nutrition. They are true experts in fitness/strength training and nutrition. But most of all, they make you feel like family. Denys is a very experienced and knowledgeable trainer that I would highly recommend!

Karina has been a wonderful trainer for someone like me that doesn’t have an athletic background. I leave waddling after leg day, but the physical changes are worth it. She did a great job of easing my friend and I into working out (we started with zero knowledge and hate cardio). I have bad wrists and she modifies my routine with zero judgement. I see the personal training as an investment. Karina has given me enough tools to now feel confident to do some workouts on my own (and she can offer personalized homework for when you can't come in). So if I decide I want to reduce how frequently I see her, I still feel independent and in control of my own health. The gym itself is small, which is less intimidating than a very public larger gym. Friendly folks of all ages. Definitely recommend finding a friend to do partner workouts if you feel shy. It’s cheaper and makes it more fun

Working with Kylie was one of the most valuable investments I’ve made in myself. She taught me a lifelong skill: how to feed my body in a healthy and sustainable way. She showed me how to build a balanced plate using protein, fiber, and carbohydrates. It sounds simple, but learning her framework completely changed how I approach food. I no longer have to “figure out” what to eat, and I no longer feel overwhelmed trying to feed myself when I’m outside my normal routine. I am the most confident I’ve ever been about meeting my nutritional needs. Kylie also helped me work through the psychological side of eating, which allowed me to permanently change patterns and habits I had struggled with for more than two decades. For the first time in my life, eating feels natural instead of something I have to constantly think about. Kylie combines nutritional science with the latest research and tailors everything to your individual metabolic needs. She personalizes a plan that truly supports you. I initially went to Kylie to learn how to build a balanced plate to support my health goals, but I ended up gaining far more than that. I’ve worked with other nutritionists in the past, but Kylie is the first one where I can truly say I no longer need a nutritionist after working with her. That’s how transformative her guidance has been. If you want to truly learn how to nourish your body and build habits that last a lifetime, I can’t recommend Kylie enough. She is the best.

I’ve had a really positive experience here, both with training and nutrition support. The programming is well-structured and adaptable, so I’ve been able to stay consistent while still being challenged. The coaching staff are knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping clients reach their goals in a sustainable way. On the nutrition side, I’ve appreciated Kylie's practical, realistic guidance that focuses on long-term habits rather than quick fixes. It’s helped me feel more confident in how I fuel my body without feeling restricted or overwhelmed. Overall, this gym creates a really encouraging "family like" environment that balances accountability with support. I’ve seen meaningful progress and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a well-rounded approach to fitness and health.

I started personal training with Denys a few months ago. Can’t say enough great things about Denys and the program! Denys really took time to figure out my weaknesses and help grow! Highly recommend

The absolute best place to be… Suffered for two years doctors couldn’t figure it out thank God for Kylie Fagnano…… Highly recommend her … Forever grateful…

Highly recommend Kylie! I worked with Kylie to address my severe migraines and tension headaches. She took such a thoughtful approach to designing a plan with me. Giving me options and information to choose the plan that was right for me. We ultimately did some food sensitivity testing which I was skeptical about but Kylie asked me to trust her and I’m so glad I did. I have seen a huge improvement in my headaches and learned so much from our work together.

Bryan is an amazing strength coach! He is extremely knowledgeable, excellent at designing a great program, all at the right balance of weight training, posture, and flexibility development. I highly recommend for anyone looking to improve their workout routine at his small, yet fully equipped gym.

I discovered DC Strength & Nutrition about 18 months ago. It’s been a great experience, exactly what I needed to get out of a fitness funk. The trainers are talented and friendly (the clients, too), which creates a welcoming environment. Tucker, my trainer, is top-notch. He has guided my journey to get stronger and leaner with thoughtful and balanced functional workouts that challenge me and keep me on my toes. Added bonus: his flexibility with scheduling sessions that work for my crazy calendar.
