Personal Training for Women

Leslie DeGrande, personal trainer in Arlington Virginia

My name is Leslie, and I’m dedicated to helping women get stronger and feel better.

A certified personal trainer, yoga therapist, and core and pelvic floor specialist, I’ve blended my expertise to create a uniquely therapeutic approach to fitness that supports all women, and particularly women whose bodies need a little extra care.

My holistic approach to fitness considers both the physical and mental aspects of being well. You’ll get amazing results when you pay attention to your body’s cues and put in consistently progressive effort over time.

I strive to provide interesting and accessibly challenging workouts. Join me at StarFit Studio in Arlington, Virginia for group classes and 1:1 sessions that are functional AND fun!

She is gentle but direct and helped me to acknowledge ways in which I was approaching my own fitness that hindered my growth. She also helped me to pinpoint ways in which I was regularly injuring my lower back and change those habits. ”
