Services
Dedicated Strength is a private strength & fitness facility that uses barbells, resistance bands, dumbbells, kettlebells, plyo boxes, and other accessory tools to train. You'll find a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere, and a place to focus on your goals. What you won't find are mirrors, gimmicky club lighting, a lot of machines, or a distracting, judgmental gym.
DS Personal Training workouts are designed for you, based on you, to get the results you want. Your coach is professional, experienced, and motivating. Work towards your goal with a dedicated coach who customizes and oversees your programming. Our coaches teach proper form and actively coach your technique.
DS Small Group Training matches the quality service of DS Personal Training, only in 2-4 person small groups. Our coaches still individualize & progress your programming and coach your technique while helping a small group of others at the same time. This style of small group training allows for a more personalized experience, which is where a lot of other studio's small group training falls short.
DS Online Personal Training allows you to train from the comfort of your home, while on work travel, or vacation via Zoom. Our coaches can prepare & administer customized workouts using any equipment you have access to, and we can also provide body weight workouts and suggestions for household items that can effectively be used as resistance.
Dedicated Strength Powerlifting is Coached by USAPL Club Coach, Joe VanCleve. Our team is almost all female, but open to all genders & experience levels, and we compete in multiple organizations, aiming for around 2-3 competitions annually per athlete. We have competed in Local and National level competitions, including National Championships.

The Best! The team at Dedicated Strength are skilled professionals that created and are currently executing a program, to reach my individual goals. I appreciate how they are responsive and reliable, how they educate (not just train), and how they have created a clean, Covid-friendly, safe and inclusive environment to get stronger. After years of boutique fitness classes and trying to train on my own, I have finally found the most effective and efficient workout in DC. Thank you DS!

Can’t say enough great things about Joe and Angela. Not only are they kind, thoughtful humans, but they are amazing business people. Joe is the type of coach who will watch every rep, give constructive feedback, and push you enough but never push you so hard you can’t come back tomorrow. I’ve never worked with someone more dedicated to their craft, this is the place to go if you want to get strong and be in a positive, inclusive environment.

Joe and Angela offer the best one-on-one personal training in the DC Metro area. Highly knowledgeable and deeply committed to their clients, they have built a high quality facility that tends to their clients needs without all the unnecessary fluff. Joe has been my personal trainer for over 5 years and he’s the BEST.

I've been going to this DS for about a year and I couldn't be happier with my results. Joe is a great coach/trainer that ACTUALLY KNOWS what he's talking about.
He gives you 110% when he trains you and you will see yourself getting stronger with his system.
The gym is small but has everything you need for a good workout. There aren't any mirrors so gym selfies won't be happening (thank God). No matter where you are in your fitness journey beginner, moderate, or experienced Dedicated Strength will help you meet your goals. Thanks Coach Joe!!

This is the best gym I have ever gone to. Joe and Angela are incredibly knowledgeable and deeply committed to clients' success. I have seen Joe for several years now and have made strength gains I would not have thought possible (I'm 45 and not in any way a gym rat). The gym also has great equipment, is spotless, and very well organized. I can't recommend this place highly enough.
