Clix Portrait Studio
Say goodbye to the cookie cutter, one size fits all group class. We believe in treating each client as an individual with their own needs, goals, and limitations. Our group training sessions range from 4-10 total clients and you will always be working directly with a Certified Personal Trainer to ensure you are progressing safely.

Our programs are built around real strength training, which is a vital component of ANY goal and is what most women are lacking in their fitness routine. We focus on fundamental, functional movements and exercises to help you thrive and look and feel your best in and out of the studio. I would highly recommend StarFit Studio for anyone looking for a gym to call home.

A perfect fit for women who value strength training but don't want super hyped gyms. Classes are very small, women only, supportive and fun. Instructors are excellent at helping you with modifications, especially if dealing with age or other limitations. Feels like a very personalized experience, more like having a personal trainer. Enjoy the company of other clients too. Expensive, but worth every penny.

I love the personal attention and small classes at Starfit. I tried strength training at a big gym but did not enjoy it as much as Starfit. As someone with chronic back problems, it is most important to me that I have trainers who pay attention to my form and correct me as needed to prevent injuries. Tamm and Erin are my regular trainers and they are great with both correcting form and also adapting exercises as needed for anyone with injuries. And seeing those cheerful faces at 6:30am is a great way to start my day.

I have been exercising at Starfit for several years. It is the best gym around for women. The trainers are professionals, they are friendly, and upbeat. They push me to workout harder than I would on my own. If you are looking for a new gym, check out Starfit!

I’ve been coming to the Arlington location for a few years now and am continually impressed with the diverse and challenging workouts the trainers come up with. They’ve also done a great job during COVID for both virtual and in person options. I highly recommend!

I love StarFit! I love that I get an awesome strength training workout, that is different every class. I’ve learned so much, and do a ton of exercises I would’ve never felt confident doing at a normal gym on my own. They take all the guess work out of getting a good workout and you make some friends along the way. I can’t recommend them enough!

Starfit is truly an amazing experience for fitness. Small classes that are new every single time (you're never bored) and always challenging no matter what your fitness level is (and man, have I leveled up!). Great communication with both trainers and owners, positive vibes all around, and the dedication of all (owner, trainers, clients) is noteworthy. Love it.

I used to only be able to walk to StarFit, now I can run! I'm the strongest, healthiest, and happiest with my body I've ever been. I couldn't have done it without this amazing place. The trainers make you feel like you're getting a personal session, and you have other amazing women around you, who help inspire you to be better. Starting StarFit was the best decision I ever made for myself, and you should too!

I joined Starfit four years ago and was immediately impressed with everything about it! I loved that it was a smaller gym that was female-focused and catered to the individual. I loved the timer, the exercises, and the strength training. I quickly realized how strength training was the way to go as I was in the best shape of my life because of Starfit! The trainers, manager, and staff are exceptional! They are truly skilled and care about each person. During COVID, they quickly and frequently adapted to the needs and requests of the clients and offered many options. I highly recommend Starfit!

I loved this gym. I went for a few months while I was in town for an internship. All the trainers were super friendly and worked with you. The first few classes can definitely be a little confusing, you learn a lot, but it’s worth it! I loved that we were using heavier weights, a lot of group exercise classes focus on light weights and tons of reps. With these heavier weights I felt stronger and really toned (not bulky). People who hadn’t seen me in a few months actually complimented my arms, and I’ve always been a little self conscious of my upper arms. This was the first time I’ve actually

5 Stars all the way! I am an older, out-of-shape woman that started virtual training with this Women’s studio when COVID hit. My trainer Ally has been awesome. She tailored an exercise routine that met my needs and leveraged inexpensive equipment I had at home (bands, small dumbbells, etc.), and incorporated my current walking/yoga routine. … She also uploaded a variety of videos to my app that helped demonstrate the exercises, correct form, etc. She has continuously made herself available to answer questions, provide tips, adjust my routine, etc. Most importantly, while she is supportive

Prior to StarFit, I used to be intimidated by barbells, ropes, cables, etc. that were in the gym. At Starfit, the trainers are great at teaching you the proper way to use the equipment and most importantly for me, pushing me to the next level. The results are amazing! In my first month, I lost 6 of the 11 pounds of fat I needed to lose.

Love StarFit! I was looking for a women’s gym that focuses on strength training and cardio with dedicated trainers and StarFit has been the perfect match. The classes are small (no more than eight), the trainers are really helpful and attentive (work with you on your form), and Allie the manager and the owners are actively seen at the gym. The online class scheduling app is awesome. The other members are welcoming and friendly, not competitive but encouraging. I’ve been going for almost three months and love it. Strongly recommend!!

Working out at Starfit since May at the invitation of my friend who is older than me. No intimidation, lots of encouragement, small classes, no judgement and a workout that is challenging and changing daily. Maximum for each class is 8. Time goes by quickly as you strengthen your core, balance, and heart. Instructor engages all to participate and encourage each other. You will sweat but it is a good thing. I keep finding things I can do better now and less achesLove working out with other women who just want to be healthy. I am inspired to continue the journey. Join us!

The only workout I've done where I'm totally engaged and not clock-watching. The workouts are tough but not oppressive. By the end, you're completely spent and the hour has flown by. The instructors I've had have been great and very helpful creating an effective workout despite my shoulder injury.

Really recommend if you want a good workout with customization.

I signed up 2 months ago, and have done the unlimited choice which is the best bang for your buck. No contract/membership makes it convenient. The studio has an app that you use to book sessions and cancel them. There are 2 locations, 1 in Arlington and 1 in Alexandria. I have worked out at both places, but prefer the Alexandria studio as it is closer to home.
Samuel is an amazing instructor, he is very motivating and keeps classes moving fast. I have lost more weight at this studio in 2 months than I did at my previous studio 4 months. I think circuit training is most effective for me, and lifting

I love this place. I was attending classes at another location - truly loved those classes- but, the owner was moving. A neighbor recommended Starfit. I've been going for over five months now and can't praise it enough.

I love the scheduling app and the 2 hour cancellation policy. The trainers are all fabulous. They focus on you and push you....i really need to be pushed.

I've seen great results in just a few months.

And, Jenny is so wonderful and accommodating.

Try it out. You won't be disappointed!

I can't say enough good things about this place. The staff is professional, courteous, and funny :). I started going to Starfit Jan 3 2017 and unfortunately I'm moving to the suburbs and won't be able to be a member anymore. The trainers and other members have become somewhat of a family and I'll really miss everyone there!! Oh I guess I should mention the workouts since that's what they do, lol. I swear for the first 2 months I don't think we ever did the same exercise twice and I was sore for at least the first month. The workouts are great! Tough, but great! I will

I had reached my highest in weight this past year and was so frustrated with how much I let myself go. Moving back to my hometown and discovering this new gym up the street, I decided to give it a try and see if it would help with my frustration. Well, it did more than that...it gave me back the confidence I lost and reminded me how much I missed working out. The trainers at StarFit are just absolutely incredible and give you the focus that you need to not only get back into shape, but making sure you love doing what you're doing. I started feeling awesome, and along with making small improvements

Love love love this gym! I never had experienced a workout place where I looked forward to returning to as much as I did here! I knew every time I would enter the door I would be challenged and see results. Steve and Michelle have created such a wonderful and supportive environment it would be hard not to obtain your fitness goals. They helped me loose over twenty pounds and I am the strongest I have ever been. I can do real push ups now, not the girly ones! If you are thinking of trying it out or joining you should! You're worth it!
