Despite being fairly active, I dealt with chronic back and knee pain most of my life. Between work and having my kiddos, the pain worsened. I did many years of PT focused on singular issues with no improvement. With no time for TRUE postpartum recovery I attended large group classes. The one-size-fits-all classes only injured me more. That’s when I found Sculpt.

I joined a class of 4 people led by Coach Mo who asked about any injuries and what I wanted to accomplish. Throughout the class, he ensured I didn’t exacerbate pain points. By the end of class, I felt great and had no lingering pain. Most importantly I felt like someone actually cared about HOW I completed the demonstrated exercise. With additional classes and more 1-on-1 adjustments, I felt stronger and ready for personal training.

Coach Mo is incredibly knowledgeable about postpartum recovery. He develops customized sessions to strengthen my back and we are working on tiny changes to “organize” my meals (no diets, no gimmicks). My Sculpt workouts are tough, effective and incredibly encouraging. I have been virtually PAIN FREE since I started. The holistic approach to strength training, self-confidence and overall wellness that Sculpt prides itself on is unmatched. Money and time well spent. I cannot recommend this studio enough.

This place is absolutly amazing! The team truly cares about each customer, making sure to fully understand everyone’s unique situations & goals. My trainer is extremely knowledgeable, disciplined, focused and result driven. If you're used to bigger gyms you absolutely need to give this private gym a try for all the individualized attention and lifelong knowledge that comes with that. I highly recommended!

I have been training with Mo for over 6 months prior to his opening Sculpt Strength Training. He has helped me strengthen my shoulders as I recovered from an injury. I feel like I am back to full strength which I haven’t had for years. We are now working on my goal to build muscle and the progress has been amazing. He works hard to ensure you build not only your major muscle groups but your small muscle groups to help avoid injury. He also incorporates stretching to help with range of motion. His goal is to build you up to not only strengthen but to increase your flexibility all while avoided injuries. Can’t recommend him for personal training.

Bespoke: Creative, Curated, Effective.

I am a former athlete and cardio junkie, that lost my way after 3 kids and a full time job. This year I committed to my health but didn’t know what that looked like, however I knew that it had to incorporate strength training and stretching. I tried multiple programs in the area and I was bored. After my first session with Mo, I left curious. Now a few months later, I cannot turn back. I am healthier and stronger. See for yourself. Join a class or a personal training session. You will not regret it.

I’ve taken all three of Coach Mo’s classes—Sculpt (weight training), Recover (stretching), and Burn (core + circuit)—and Sculpt Strength Training stands out for its focus on precision, strength building, and injury prevention.

Unlike many fitness classes that emphasize speed or lifting heavier, Sculpt is about controlled, intentional movements. Coach Mo pays close attention to form and muscle engagement, making small but impactful adjustments that ensure you’re working the right areas efficiently. These refinements not only improve strength but also reduce the risk of injury, something often overlooked in group workouts.

What I appreciate most is that the class isn’t about just going through the motions—it’s about training with purpose. The focus on muscle isolation and correct posture makes each exercise more effective, leading to real progress without unnecessary strain.

Coach Mo’s ability to observe, correct, and personalize feedback makes a huge difference. Whether you're new to strength training or looking to refine your technique, this class helps you build strength the right way. Highly recommend!

Excellent personal training conveniently located in downtown McLean. Super clean studio. I’m 64 and injured my lower back doing swings and deadlifts with a trainer who isn’t orthopedic certified. My trainer here has me stretching and working muscles that support my lower back and my back pain is GONE. My posture is improved, too. My 91 year old Mom has been telling me to stand up straight for 60 years. I’d love to stop hearing that and she’d love to stop saying it lol!
