I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the workouts at OSS. The group classes are an excellent mix of strength inducing, hard, motivating and yet still fun. We are given all the tools to function, learn, develop and push ourselves. The classes are not cookie cutter and very adaptable to everyone. If you’re scared, have had bad experiences or intimidated by the gym, give this facility a try - you won’t be disa... More
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the workouts at OSS. The group classes are an excellent mix of strength inducing, hard, motivating and yet still fun. We are given all the tools to function, learn, develop and push ourselves. The classes are not cookie cutter and very adaptable to everyone. If you’re scared, have had bad experiences or intimidated by the gym, give this facility a try - you won’t be disappointed. The members are just as welcoming as the trainers and def makes those 6am classes a little easier to get up for! And tell David, we need more rap (it helps for the heavy push days). 😂👏🏼 Less
My favorite gym in the area. Best trainers and well structured classes. Awesome for when PT ends, I started in Feburary and have been amazed with the progress I've made so far in regaining my strength and stability. Can't go wrong with any of the trainers here.
I love this place! The trainers are so knowledgeable and push you while still being encouraging. Before starting here, I was frustrated that I couldn’t seem to get back in the shape I was in my younger days. Now I’m pleased with the steady progress I’m making in strength, and the effects that’s having on my body. I now look forward to going because of how good I feel afterward!
This gym is the BEST. I have been taking group classes 3x/week for over two months and I love the energy of the coaches and the commitment they have to each individual’s safety and growth. I genuinely look forward to walking through that door because it feels like you’re part of a team. David keeps the workouts exciting and is always game to teach us something new.

OSS is hands down the best gym I have found in northern VA and trust me, I looked around. The programming is excellent and allows for proper progressions and scalability whenever needed, and the coaching is top notch. You’ll walk out of every workout feeling good and properly challenged, regardless of level or experience. I’m so grateful to have found this gym fam.
I just love this place! Because it is by appointment only, there are so few people there when I'm there . I'm comfortable and don't feel like I'm on display. The trainers are really great. I look forward to going. And they work carefully around the injury in my hip.

Just started a few weeks ago. I'm trying to get more strength back, but have had multiple joint injuries in past years. So needed a personal trainer who is going to push me, but carefully. Working with Anthony at Oakton Strength Systems and I'm very pleased so far. Great company, great trainer.
Amazing gym in Oakton. I struggled with running-related injuries caused by a lack of strength training and started personal training with David. David is super knowledgeable and great to work with. He made sure I understood each exercise and helped correct my form so I could have a solid foundation before jumping into the group classes. The group classes are great.

Since I started going to OSS, I can definitely feel a huge improvement in my overall strength and fitness! Less
I'm feeling great after working out for a couple of months with my trainer, Anthony. He is careful with me and helps me with strengthening areas that were injured from playing sports worsened by the aging process.
I have worked out for a majority of my life but went on a 3-year hiatus with Covid, work, family blah blah blah...I decided to get focused again and was really looking for a specialized gym that could help meet me where I am and help build me strength and stamina back up again.

I have worked out for a majority of my life but went on a 3-year hiatus with Covid, work, family blah blah blah...I decided to get focused again and was really looking for a specialized gym that could help meet me where I am and help build me strength and stamina back up again. I didn't want to head back to the large commercial gyms that I have historically been a member of (e.g. Equinox, LifeTime etc...) so was looking for a place where I could focus on myself completely and get that specialized training, and this is the gym for sure! David (the owner) and Taylor (a personal trainer) have been gracious and very focused on helping me achieve the results I seek. I used to be in incredible shape but am no longer as in shape as I once was. Taylor has been fantastic to work with - driven, flexible and knowledgeable with the right mix of pushing me but also not extending me beyond my capabilities...plus I don't want to get injured as recovery times are so much longer as you get older!! Anyhow, she is getting to know me better and I really feel the personalization...you can't ask for anything more! I am also beginning to feel better and also feel like I am getting back in shape again...slowly but there's progress!! Contact OSS, you'll be so glad you did!! Less
At first I was intimidated to go in to talk to them about setting up an appointment thinking it was a hard core muscle joint. I have recently lost a lot of weight and was looking to build up some muscle and tighten up a lot of the loose skin I'm left with. David, the owner, was super nice and made me feel very comfortable.

At first I was intimidated to go in to talk to them about setting up an appointment thinking it was a hard core muscle joint. I have recently lost a lot of weight and was looking to build up some muscle and tighten up a lot of the loose skin I'm left with. David, the owner, was super nice and made me feel very comfortable. OSS is not at all they type of place that only caters to the very fit and already in shape. They're happy to help anyone and everyone is welcome. David set me up with Taylor and she's been amazing. I've worked out with a lot of personal trainers over the years and I've always felt like an underachiever. Taylor met me where I am and has been super patient and kind. I always feel like I'm making progress without over doing it. She's super kind and patient and lets me be part of the decision making process with my own workouts. I appreciate that so much. I actually look forward to my workouts, for once in my life. And the atmosphere at OSS is so friendly, not intense at all, but you definitely get your b*** kicked! Definitely give OSS and Taylor a shot. I'm also bringing in my 12 year old son to start working out. They have kids programs as well. Less
Detail oriented, individualized, nice facilities, knowledgeable, friendly staff.. Can't wait to continue work-outs

I've been working with Anthony for the past few weeks as my PT. He's been great about working on the areas I'm weak in after having 2 kids and getting my strength back. I'm starting to see my muscle definition again and feeling like my old self. They have personal training and group training that fits everyone's needs and schedules.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Taylor who has been an incredible asset to my fitness journey. I had been struggling to meet my fitness goals and was looking for some expert guidance, and I can honestly say that I couldn’t ask for a better trainer. From the very first session, Taylor was attentive, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. She took the time to listen to my goals and fitness concerns to develop a customized workout plan that catered to my specific needs. One of the things I really appreciate the most was Taylor’s dedication to making sure I understood each exercise and how it was benefiting my body. She patiently corrected my form and provided clear instructions to help me maximize each movement. As a result, I felt more confident and motivated during my workouts. What I loved about working with Taylor was her ability to push me to my limits without making me feel overwhelmed or discouraged. She constantly challenged me to improve my fitness level, and as a result, I saw significant progress. Overall, I highly recommend Taylor as a personal trainer. Her passion for tunes and commitment to helping her clients achieve their goal is truly inspiring and I can’t thank her enough for the positive impact she’s had on my fitness journey. Less
Taylor is my favorite trainer. I love her work and personal care. The facilities at Oakton Strength Systems really compliment her training style and allow us to get the personal one-on-one focus that I need to meet my fitness goals. Great all-around! Five stars!
Taylor and OSS are great! I get the personal care and planning I'm looking for.
Awesome new gym in the heart of Oakton. The trainers are knowledgeable, approachable, and great to work with. The facility is clean, well-stocked, and well-maintained. Their focus on nutrition and personal training will get you the results you want. Highly recommend!
This facility has new equipment with knowledgeable staff. The workouts are easy to modify for all levels.
Walkable distance to me, perfect class schedule, great program and nice people.
It is in the heart of Oakton, very convenient. The place is very clean and the trainer, David is the best personal trainer I ever worked with. He is very motivated and detailed oriented. Highly recommend this place to anyone!
Perfect place to get back in shape, David is great at what he does. He is great at making you feel comfortable and a great coach! if you’re looking into getting back in shape this is the perfect place to start.

great coach helping achieve results. highly recommend!
Best personal training in the area! They offer group classes too.
The trainer David Basham is both friendly and an great expert at what he does. He accommodates the capabilities of the client and knows both when to push you and how to demonstrate the exercises clearly. Training is personalized and helps you meet goals. The prices for different plans are excellent, and the site and equipment are good quality and clean.
I've enjoyed strength training with Dave for several years. He provides the motivation, knowledge, and guidance I need to achieve greater levels of performance while working around old injuries.

After two failed attempts of using a personal trainer to attain my fitness goals, I met David when he was still working for large fitness center corporations. At first I was intimidated, but he quickly proved his ability to adjust to my personal needs and helped me achieve optimal fitness, which included losing over 35lbs. I maintained and kept hitting new "personal best" over 2.5 years of twice a week personal training sessions; until I became pregnant and priorities changed. 4 years passed, then this past Spring I reached back out to David for his services. Yet again, he has proven his adability to adapt by leveraging his substantial experience, as I recover from surgery to repair my Diastasis Recti, and again lose over 25lbs. Less
Been working with David for years! He is very knowledgeable and skilled at personal training and nutrition. Highly recommend if you are motivated to change your life and get strong!
Bought an online bodybuilding program a week ago and it’s awesome. David knows his stuff. Looking forward to PT when the gym opens up.
