BREAKAWAY Fitness | McLean (Tysons Corner), VA | Part-Time
Join a Gym Where Coaching Still Matters.
At BREAKAWAY Fitness, we don't believe in trainers walking around with clipboards or spending half their shift behind a desk. We believe in coaching, building relationships, changing lives, and creating an atmosphere where people actually enjoy coming to the gym.
For over 25 years, BREAKAWAY Fitness has been one of Northern Virginia's premier personal training facilities. We're an independently owned gym with an old-school work ethic, a supportive team culture, and a reputation for delivering results. No crowded group fitness classes. No sales quotas. No corporate red tape. Just real coaching and real people.
If you're passionate about helping others become stronger, healthier, and more confident, we'd love to meet you.
