The Four Seasons Washington DC has been a client of Verve H&F since 2000. Verve provides our Fitness Club Members and hotel guests with a wide variety of very customized personal training sessions and yoga classes either in groups or one-on-one.

Many of our members value the Trainers and have long standing relationships with them. Owner Michael Lin and his team are very experienced at matching the right trainer with the right client to ensure that the client gets the best results, but also that the personalities match. Trainers are very often available on very short notice and are always on time, well trained and very professional. I constantly recommend their services to our members and hotel guests.

I have personally been to the Verve Facility the staff has always been very helpful and friendly and the facility is very well equipped, clean and professional.

The Spa at Mandarin Oriental has had a partnership with Verve Fitness since 2014. They provide Personal Training and Group Classes for both hotel guests and members. The feedback has been very positive.

Verve has been a tremendous success in our office building. Their trainers are well-liked and are able to tailor workouts to various individual skill levels throughout class. Verve classes are very popular. I would encourage any property manager, as I encouraged our own, to talk with Verve and make it happen. It’s a great benefit to tenants and keeps them there for a very reasonable cost. Today property managers can take a small space and turn it into an affordable and valuable amenity for their tenants that makes them look very age conscious and energy conscious. Personally, Verve has made an amazing difference in my life. The fitness plan Verve developed for me has given me energy, strength and pain relief like I’ve never known. My orthopedist, also a Verve client, is thrilled with what Verve has been able to do for me. It’s just made an enormous difference in the way I look and feel.

Professionals who know what they’re doing…. That’s what Verve trainers bring to your workouts. And motivation we all need when it comes to working out.

After 10 years of personal training at Verve I have dramatically improved lower back stability and strengthened my core. Neither physical therapy nor drugs were ever able to match the success achieved at Verve.

— Robert Brown
Owner of Neptune & Brown Gallery
Verve Personal Training Client

I was looking for a place to train before having knee replacement surgery. After surgery I resumed my personal training at Verve. My body is getting stronger and I am achieving better conditioning thanks to the training guidance I get at Verve.

— Tom Fahy, Verve Pre/Post Surgery Training Client

I am a very busy, tightly scheduled individual. The thing I respect the most about Verve trainers is that they show up on time and work you well. They are never late or canceling at the last minute. They have made my mornings so much better!

- Francesca Zambello

Artistic Director, The Washington National Opera @ The Kennedy Center

I came to Verve at the recommendation of an orthopedic surgeon: I have had chronic and debilitating back problems for two decades. I began biweekly training sessions, and after six months, the benefits are breathtaking. I have no back or neck pain; I sleep much better; I have more stamina for everyday activities; I enjoy life more, and I smile more. This is the best investment I have ever made. Instead of taking an exotic vacation, spend six months turning your body into something that feels right. (It's far cheaper.) My trainers are perceptive, attentive, and very supportive. I never feel that they are "somewhere else" when we train, and I always leave Verve feeling that I have accomplished something. The community at the gym is supportive, professional and warm. Really, you couldn't ask for more.

- Michael Witmore

Director of the Folger Shakespeare Library

I’ve worked with various Verve personal trainers twice a week for the past five years. Not surprisingly, it’s made a huge difference in my health, strength and overall fitness. The surprise is the level of coordination and communication that happens between the trainers and how thoughtful and informed they are about me and what I need. Michael Lin sets very high standards for his team and they deliver. All the trainers know exactly what I need to work on and make me do it. And then I put on my boxing gloves and give it all right back. It’s a beautiful relationship! I love Verve.

Training with Verve over the years has been the single most important change I've made for my health. Although diagnosed with osteoporosis some years ago, I've been off medication for a number of years, which both my specialist and I attribute to my training regimen at Verve.

- Joanne Ochsman

Vice President Capital News Company, Allbritton Communication, Politico

I have been going to Verve for approximately 10 years. I have never experienced a more dedicated staff totally focused on getting me in shape and it has worked. In that decade Verve trainers have continually mixes it up, challenges me, pushes me and it shows. It’s the best gym I have ever belonged to and the most professional staff I have experienced. Really it’s that good.

- Scott Jacobson

Since joining Verve, I have become aware of muscles that I didn't realize that I had! I have focused on them & they have become much stronger/firmer; leaving me with a slimmer body! I feel much better about myself & my future health & well being!

- Bonnie Mann

I have been consistently impressed with the dedication of Verve’s trainers, each of whom is a really nice person who I look forward to seeing each week. The Verve trainers are also excellent at coming up with exercise programs suitable to the client.

- Joe Esposito

Verve Personal Training Client

I am a 53 year old male and I hate gyms! I have always hated them and to be honest I was really reluctant to go to Verve because I expected it to be like every other gym; I was wrong. I started going 4 years ago and I have not missed a personal work out session if I was in town and able to get to the gym. Over the years I have had maybe 3 different trainers not a dozen and they have all been good. I have gone from barely being able to do 6 sit-ups or push ups to being able to do three or four sets of a dozen in a single workout.

- Ed Cohen

Verve Personal Training Client

Michael Lin has been an invaluable trainer for me for well over 10 years. Under his guidance I have made huge strides in agility and flexibility, as well as achieving substantial gains in strength. And I have acquired the know-how to keep me fit in the future, through the combination of exercise and healthy diet. These are major improvements that would have never happened on my own, so thank you Michael!

I have a disability (power wheelchair user) and recently had a bad injury where I ended up in bed unable to stand or sit for weeks. I’ve been working with VERVE since I could move around (I’ve known them forever but never had a personal trainer). Now I look forward hugely to my sessions with Matt O’Connor. On my own I am very motivated, but only swam and did some stretches on the ballet bar and workers on a recumbent elliptical bike. With Matt, I now do more workouts to strengthen certain muscles including (modified for my disability) pushups, pull-ups, walking with my walker, biceps, triceps and other arm muscle work with the TheraBands. Matt read up on the kind of muscular dystrophy I had before we first met and he’s used that knowledge to build ever-changing workouts to push my limits safely. The trainers at VERVE are great - I’ve watched how clients of theirs at the Four Seasons have lost weight, done extensive training and the changes in the clients are noticeable. AND they make it fun and energizing.
