Exsurgo Strong and Fit

Exsurgo is the Best personal training and obstacle course race training facility, hands down!!! I can't say enough great things about Exsurgo, the members and the trainers. Immie and Greg are amazing and extremely knowledgeable trainers. They take the time to get to know you as an individual and tailor the workout plan to meet your personal needs. I personally joined Exsurgo about 8 months ago and began the OCR small group training with Immie. My goal was to achieve my first ever Spartan trifecta and that's exactly what I did. Honestly, Exsurgo has changed my life for the better, not only do I receive a challenging top notch workout each week, but I have also made friends for life. No matter what your goals are Exsurgo has you covered. More...

If you're looking for trainers who really know what they are doing, Exsurgo is most definitely the place for you. Immie and Greg are very professional, great people, and take very good care of their clients. Even have training sessions with Will on Saturdays and he gives great fitness insight and advice, and is great to work with. I dont think i've ever been to a better gym than here! More...

I have been going to Exsurgo since July. I am incredibly satisfied and happy with the way Immi and Will are personally invested in ensuring that I stay on track with my strength goals and general well being. I have been down the path of paying for the expensive gyms and not showing up but this is the place where I have truly felt that my health has improved. Everybody's needs and goals are different and Immi works with every single person and ensures that they succeed. More...

My wife introduced me to this gym. I hate the gym. After being forced to go for a few weeks, I figured out that while I hate “the gym”, I love “THIS gym. Immie and Greg found a way to motivate me to want to do better. I have been with them for about 18 months and am a completely different person. I now look forward to my sessions and it is all because of the dedication they give their clients. My form is probably the worst in the gym. But I can’t ever continue to do it wrong because it is corrected on the first rep. I have never been injured because of their eagle eye! If you have goals, especially with obstacle course racing (Immie is a world class top 20 racer for Spartan) this is the family that you belong in. We often race together at the same venues and everyone is happy when someone overcomes a difficult personal obstacle or runs a faster time. Personal workout, group workout, OCR race training, it’s all here. And like the Olive Garden, When you’re here, you’re family! More...

What a great gym! I had not worked out in years and was struggling with a few injuries as well as Osteopenia so the prescription was weight training. I was afraid of getting hurt, being to sore to move the next day etc. NONE of that occurred. Immie kept me on a slow and steady program to increase my strength as my body could handle it. Not once did I feel I wanted to cancel because I didn't feel like going and that is a first for me! I highly recommend Exsurgo Strong and Fit for people of all ages. They really take their time and are serious about helping you become the best you can be rather than throwing you into a group workout and trying to make you do what everyone else does. More...

If you are searching for a good Spartan or OCR training gym, or just want to improve your health in an enjoyable way, I strongly urge a visit to Exsurgo to see how they can help you attain your goals. My Dad’s recent triple bypass was a wake-up call to take concrete action regarding health. Discovered Obstacle course (OCR) and Spartan racing as a fun way to get out on the race trails, but also excellent way to get off the couch and towards healthier lifestyle. After failing numerous obstacles at first Spartan race (rope climb, monkey bars, Z wall, multi rig rings) realized I needed help. So I then methodically looked at/visited ALL of the crossfit/ninja/OCR gyms in the NoVa area. After close comparison, decided on Exsurgo and 100% the right decision. Exsurgo has all of the right OCR/Spartan equipment/facilities, including rope climb, rings, monkey bars. Greg is constantly building new obstacles to keep us challenged and improving – some specific examples are a Hercules hoist and 'gorilla' bars that are tougher than the actual obstacle. So what you encounter on the actual OCR course is easier than what you’ve been practicing. Exsurgo’s secret ingredient is that it is run by Spartan champion Immie Cross. Immie has the coaching experience, training and patience to get someone from starting point to sustained success on the OCR trail. From assessment to ongoing training to post-race evaluation and training adjustment, she consistently guides each Exsurgo member on their respective paths to success (everyone has different Spartan/OCR goals, and she adapts training and prep to each path.) Also, the Exsurgo members comprise an energetic, supportive community that share best strategies and tactics for Spartan/OCR races.Since starting at Exsurgo, I can now easily do rope climb [instead of automatic fail, now focused on how quickly I can climb the rope], monkey bars and Z-wall, and on track to master the rings. I would be remiss though were I not to point out the key factor of improved health: dropped and kept off 25 lbs; just got annual med checkup - lower blood pressure & lower cholesterol; more energy throughout the day.

Normally, I do not do gyms or any kind of fitness programs, however my best friend told about this facility training place called EXSURGO and dragged me along (well brought me along). We were introduced to a friendly fit trainer Immie, who provided an evaluation on us first to see where we are at physically. Of course I already knew I needed a lot of work due to my inactive physical lifestyle. Needless to say a few months later I am still at EXSURGO and it has improved my stamina, muscles and overview about exercising. Thank you Immie, Greg and Will who are very nice and helpful people, who want you to do your best in succeeding in overall fitness and health. More...

I am picky about people I trust, especially related to my body. The energy in Exsurgo Strong and Fit created by passion, a lot of know, experience and professional approach. I definitely going be a client for personal training as minimum twice a year. My body and mind liked it ✅ More...

I started training with Immie in February to prepare for two upcoming Spartan races I had for the year.  At the time, I had a lot to learn and needed that extra push and knowledge from a personal trainer to meet my goals and that is exactly what I got! !!  Just completed my first Spartan race for the year two weeks ago and knocked 10 minutes off my mile time from my last race in September and completed obstacles I was not able to do in that last race either (didn't have the upper body strength, but now I do!!!)!  Thank you Immie, AROO!!!Also, Greg is great as a personal trainer with the kiddos!  My 10 year old son who plays football and lacrosse trained with him and it really helped with his stamina during the games.

My 14 year old soccer player tore an ankle ligament this past fall, and the comeback/recovery was a difficult one for her adolescent brain. She started working with Greg in late fall, and in the few months since she's been training with him, her entire brain space and outlook, as well as her athletic capability, has changed. She's faster, she's stronger, and she's able to do things better than she could before she hurt herself. She feels capable and confident in her sport now. Greg treats her with respect, and courtesy, while not letting her slack off. He's not only trained her, he's taught her HOW to train. How to lift, how to move, how to recover. The foundation my kid now has is incomparable, and her outlook on herself has improved, thanks to Greg. More...

I trained with Immie for 6 years.  She did personal training as well as taught group classes that took a wholistic approach to being healthy.   Immie is as knowledgeable about exercise and health as she is sweet and funny.   It's a perfect combination for a trainer.   She tailored workouts that helped me recover and strengthen my back and knees after I was injured.   She also thought of ways to make workouts fun even though they were challenging.   I'd be a lifelong client if she hadn't moved away.

Immie is a no BS trainer. She's personable, funny, compassionate, and a limit pusher. Working with Immie, I realized how I was my own block. She worked with me regularly to make sure I met my goals, and would consistently check in with me to ensure I was doing well outside of the gym too. Accountability is definitely her thing. Follow her plan, listen to her advice and I promise you will not regret it. I used to hate lunges, but I now see their benefit. Working with Immie, lunges will become your new best friend. More...

Exsurgo is a game-changer. I'm a stay-at-home mom and they allow me to bring my daughter while I train. Their lobby is set up with a tv and couches and she watches Elmo while I train. I've never had this option!! Greg assessed my weak areas and built a program to strengthen them. I've never done one-on-one training before but it's definitely for me-an entire hour dedicated to myself and getting the results I haven't achieved on my own. Try them. You won't be disappointed.

After my second child I was struggling to lose the baby weight and feeling super unmotivated. I was hesitant to work with a trainer because I thought it would be awkward, but after my consultation with Immie, I was so glad that I took the plunge and made the call. Immie is amazing! I felt comfortable with her right away. She listened to what I was trying to achieve and created workouts that helped me reach my goals. And I did reach them! I'm actually stronger than I was before I had my babies! I'm no longer intimated by heavy weights and even though she left me (waaaaaa) she made sure I was prepared to handle my own in the gym before she moved. She is super organized! Which is great because she keeps all of your workouts, so you are able to go back and compare what you were lifting/squatting in month 1, and what you are doing now.  If you are thinking about working with a trainer, call Immie! She will get you the results you want,  and have you will always be looking forward to your next session together. Immie keeps things fun, but she also keeps you focused on your goals. Maybe I'll fly to Virginia for one more session =) More...
