After becoming a member at CHFP almost a year ago, I have seen significant changes on a personal and career level. I was referred to Cara through a mentor and received my USAW level 1 & 2 soon after joining.Coming to my weekly group session at CHFP is a major highlight of my week and the other members provide a strong sense of community and motivation. Since regularly training the Olympic lifts, I feel the strongest and most mobile I’ve ever been. Being new to Olympic weightlifting, I am satisfied with the amount of progress and understanding I’ve gained.Cara’s skill for coaching transcends weightlifting as she is truly a master at effectively communicating with and getting to know the person in front of her. As the fitness director of my company, I can’t recommend Cara and CHFP enough if you’re looking to safely learn how to Olympic lift and enhance yourself on a multitude of levels!

Fantastic weightlifting that is well-equiped and welcoming. This is my go-to gym to visit when Im in the DC area. They make it very easy to drop in. One of the top weightlifting gyms on the east coast for sure.

Wonderful place to train. I dropped in for the Open Gym while travelling, and thoroughly enjoyed the encouraging atmosphere, highest quality equipment and friendly coaches and other members. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone.

Thanks for having us today, wonderful people, wonderful team all the best for you keep it up and thanks cara for your time much love

Ive attended Caras Six Week Technique course and have been a volunteer athlete at several of the live coaching under observation sessions for her Coaches Academy. My daughter is also currently participating in her Youth Training Group twice a week.Cara and her staff are warm, friendly, welcoming, and flexible - qualities I appreciate given that so much of the fitness community feels like its just an extension of the multi-level marketing industry. I never once felt pressured to purchase programming or join her gym because Cara only asked me once if I would be open to becoming a client with a recurring membership at her facility. This stands in stark contrast to my past experiences, which have led me to expect endless emails, phone calls, or one-on-one discussions about my fitness goals from gyms, boxes, and trainers. Cara is running a business so I anticipate some attempts to bring me on as a regular client, but I was pleasantly surprised by her lightweight approach which favors developing relationships with (potential) clients in place of cynical pitches to garner more business.
