About Us
Fitness Solutions was founded in 1999 serving first under the former name of GSP Fitness LLC. We spent our first five years of business providing one-on-one training for Gold’s Gym, Athen’s Gym and currently Fitness First health clubs in the Washington DC Metropolitan area. In doing so we have helped hundreds of clients achieve better health and fitness and have become one of the area’s most respected providers of Personal Training Services.
In 2005 we changed our name to Fitness Solutions Personal Training to better reflect the direction our company was taking in providing solutions for the fitness needs of businesses and corporations. It was during this time that we developed the Cross-Train® system which combines years of experiences, and exercise techniques into a program that achieves amazing results and that is specifically designed for groups.
Ray Middelthon, founder of Fitness Solutions and married to an Arlington County teacher as well as being surrounded by teachers in the family; observed a need for fitness in the school systems and not just for kids, but educators. It was then that the idea of taking our on-site fitness Cross-Train® program to staff and administration of Fairfax and Arlington County Public Schools was born.
Since 2006 we have worked with over 27 school locations and are presently adding locations monthly. We have worked with over 400 educators over the last 2 1/2 years providing our Cross-Train® program as well as health fairs, seminars, family fitness days, career days, and have most recently begun working with the kids who so desperately need activity in their lives. We have seen that our educators who work so hard to teach our children have themselves become a living breathing example of the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and model those benefits daily with the children.
We are excited about the future and prospects of growing our business into new counties, cities, and states while helping to empower and change the lives of those who empowered and changed ours.
We thank you for taking the time to get to know us and we hope we have a chance to get to know you in a Cross-Train® Fitness Class!
To your health,
The Fitness Solutions Team
