“The best decision I made for myself in 2024 was to join this incredible gym. I have had the privilege of working with Chanda, Jess and Matt and their patience, support and encouragement are vital to achieving my health goals. Bobby is incredibly knowledgeable and really explains the science behind workout, which makes the process easier to understand. Do yourself a favor, book a consultation and schedule an appointment with anyone at Integrative Performance asap. You are all the best!!“
– Patricia S.
“My only regret is not signing up sooner! As someone who has struggled with chronic pain for eight years, I was losing hope that I could live an active lifestyle. Integrative performance has completely changed my life! Everyone is encouraging, highly knowledgeable, and dedicated. My personal trainer, Jess, is fantastic. Go to Integrative Performance…you are in good hands!“
– Sarah S.
“I came to Integrative Performance after a long time away from the gym. I didn’t know the best way to start up a new exercise regimen, and I wanted to avoid mistakes I’ve made in the past that caused injuries.
Integrative Performance is exactly what I needed. Chanda is awesome; she works with me to set and refine goals, and she designs my workouts and coaches me through them. After less than 4 months my strength, mobility and flexibility are significantly improved and my energy level is much higher. I couldn’t be happier! Best workout experience I’ve ever had.“
– Niles G.
“I worked with Matt Yoshida for personal training who was very patient and non-judgmental. He definitely pushed me, but not to the point that it was too much, with lifting heavy weights. Bobby, the owner, is super caring and informative when it comes to nutrition. Nice group of people too who actually care. Highly recommend.“
– Marlene H.
“I worked with Christina on a nutrition plan. I had been trying to improve my fitness and my old ways of adjusting my diet and exercise were no longer working. I opted for the 12 week plan with Christina and had a great experience. She did a good job of laying out how the 12 weeks would go, building up concepts and approaches effectively, and working around issues, questions, or recipe requests I had. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to try a new way of approaching their nutritional needs.“
– Matt G.
“Three years ago, I joined an elite health club, hoping to make one last effort to get in shape. I was sixty-seven years old, and as a college professor, lived a sedentary life with hours of screen time and very little exercise. As a new club member, I was contacted by a trainer, who would assess my fitness level and make recommendations. That trainer, fortuitously, was Bobby. He led me, patiently, through various exercises and measurements—nothing at all strenuous—but on that day I realized just how much I had neglected my health. I felt like an uncoordinated marshmallow. Bobby convinced me that I could achieve my goals: restore heart health, arrest osteopenia, and improve strength, flexibility and balance. I began working with him, and within a few months, saw major improvements. He is very knowledgeable, not only about exercise, but also metabolism, nutrition, the nervous system, and much else. He is patient and continually educates his clients, explaining in detail what is happening to our bodies as we move and challenge ourselves. He is more observant than most physicians I have encountered. And more helpful! A year ago, I took a major accidental fall down a staircase. I might have died, were it not for my newfound ability to brace myself. Nevertheless, I suffered severe injury to my cervical spine and left shoulder. Although I did go through physical therapy (which was just okay), it was Bobby who helped me to recover within a year (when physicians had not been hopeful, predicting that it would take two years). Today I work with Bobby exclusively and am no longer a health club member. I am taking half the dosages of medication for hypertension, have arrested the osteopenia and achieved significant strength, coordination, flexibility and endurance. I’m healthier now than I have been in thirty years. I recently celebrated by 70th birthday. Bobby is a phenomenal health coach. I will be with him as long as he is doing this. Anyone would chooses to work with him will be most fortunate indeed.“
– Carolyn F.
“Bobby was so helpful, friendly and responsive. He seemed very knowledgeable and did a great job explaining everything clearly. We left feeling confident and impressed with the work!“
– Mary Claire D.
“Bobby, Chanda and Matt are great! I’ve enjoyed coming for years!“
– Melissa T.
“Chanda is the best. I have been training with her for 3 years and have met and exceeded my weight and fitness goals. She’s great, easy to work with, and adapts all of my workouts based on how I’m performing and feeling each day.“
– Alex M.
“We went in for a V02 max test. Very thorough explanations of process and results with specific recommendations to optimize future workouts. It was exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommend if you are looking at fitness testing!“
– Catherine S.
“I love this place. Chanda is an amazing trainer – so thoughtful and deliberate about helping you reach your goals. She is supportive but also does not let you slack off! The gym space is also wonderful. Everyone is friendly, never intimidating – it just has a good vibe.“
– Candice L.
“Integrative Performance is a game changer for me, I been working with owner of this facility “Bobby” and known him for 3 years, not just as my personal trainer but as a nutritional coach, health mentor and friend also, his business model and his training studio is one of the best top notch facility I ever known, this business has everything I need for my needs from cardio, heavy lifting or getting toned my body in a very professional manner, and I highly recommend this business to everyone in need to achieve their health fitness goals, or just want to enjoy active healthy lifestyle no matter what their circumstances are, it’s a blessing to have such a business around 👍“
– Sunny M.
“I learned so much when I did my VO2 testing. Bobby and his team are incredibly knowledgeable and explain the VO2 and body composition data thoroughly and in a very understandable way, pointing out how the data illuminates both my strengths and limiters. I particularly appreciated how Bobby gave me very applicable ways and training methods to improve my VO2 and general fitness based on what the testing showed.“
– Jill P.
“Meeting with Bobby at Integrative Performance was one of the best decisions I could have made for my training! Not only was it a great experience – he was knowledgeable, personable, professional, and very thorough; the data-driven advice I received has already proven beneficial for my training.
I have been an athlete my whole life and as someone who is currently training for 3 separate events, the work Cygma did for me has been and will continue to be invaluable to my performance moving forward.
Cannot recommend Bobby and the Integrative team enough! Check them out!“
– Anna Z.
“I came to Bobby as a bit of a mess — recovering from a physical injury, burned out at work, and emotional after a major breakup. Bobby’s compassion and sensitivity immediately set me at ease, and his experience and knowledge about the mind and body made it very easy to trust him. With infinite patience and achievable goals in mind, Bobby took me from barely being able to stretch without triggering an emotional and physical response, to doing 60-minute lifting and cardio workouts without issue. And as if that weren’t reward enough, I lost 2 dress sizes, and started sleeping and feeling better overall because of his nutrition recommendations and mindfulness plan. I believe wholeheartedly that no matter what state you’re in, Bobby can guide you toward the best version of yourself in the shortest time possible.“
– Kerra M.
“I love the team at Integrative Performance! I’ve been working with Chanda for years now and she has helped me make extraordinary gains in my mobility, endurance, strength, and confidence in the gym. I’ve also loved working with Matt as I prepare for my first powerlifting competition! Everyone is so welcoming and supportive. It is an amazing community, and I’m happy to be part of it. I recommend anyone at any level interested in fitness check out Integrative Performance.“
– Daniella M.
“I started here by going in for a nutritional consult here one day with the goal of losing weight. Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect. I thought I would just get an easy meal plan to follow that would get me fit quick. What I wasn’t expecting was a holistic educational experience on the science behind what you eat. It was a complete culture shift for me in terms of truly understanding what you are putting in your body.
I think many people are afraid that diets will negatively impact their social lives or make you hungry all the time. This is no diet by any means but rather a realistic approach to food. I personally didn’t think it was possible to gain muscle while losing fat in a calorie deficit, but the body scans proved otherwise. After multiple check-ins, scans, and discussions later, the results speak for themselves, and I have no intention of going back for the rest of my life. At the end of the day, YOU are the one who has to put the work in with your nutrition and working out. It’s really not a daunting task, but if you have no idea where to start or even if you think you do and aren’t seeing results, Bobby and the team know what they’re doing. Amazing people! Give them a try.“
– Andres H.
“I’m extremely happy with my training sessions at Integrative Performance. I really love the concept of a space that is just for clients and trainers. It makes it so much less intimidating if you’re just starting out. Huge plus that it’s a brand-new space with brand-new equipment! You can tell it was thoughtfully designed to offer space for multiple clients without crowding or bumping into each other.
I’ve been training with Chanda for a few months now and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’ve stuck with my schedule and have seen changes happening already that I know I wouldn’t be able to accomplish without her. She’s so patient when I need help understanding a movement and her encouragement along the way makes all the difference. She’s incredibly kind and an excellent teacher if you are looking to understand strength training without getting overwhelmed. Chanda has a wealth of knowledge in so many areas; nutrition, meal planning, motivation techniques, workout modifications, and has really helped me create a pathway to success.
Bobby and Chanda are passionate about making Integrative Performance a community and I’m really thrilled to be a part of it!“
– Ashley M.
“Bobby has that rare ability to translate data, make it simple, and design an actionable plan. We started with a 360 fitness evaluation that included a detailed body composition scan and cardiovascular testing. Every week, he reminded me how progress happens slowly and sustainably. And when I plateaued, he reviewed my nutrition data from Chronometer and course corrected me. He’s much more than a trainer.“
– Eric W.
“You ever had such a positive experience with someone that you keep thinking about weeks later? That’s me right now. And so I decided to do a review of my experiences here on Google… and then I see that 21 other people have already done that here for Cygma Performance with many mentions of Bobby. And I see that ALL 21 reviewers, which covers over a year, gave 5 stars. And some reviewers wrote novels! There’s so much to read here that I no longer feel that I need to do the same but you can put me down as the 22nd person to drop that 5-star rating.
So in summary, I live in Vermont and needed a VO2 Max test for my volunteer fire department since I turned 50 yrs old. I couldn’t find it locally so since I was coming to DC for my daughter’s college graduation, I found Cygma Performance on line and set up an appointment to take the test. But then I discovered this included a phone consult (free) where they (Bobby in my case) find out what you are trying to achieve with the VO2 Max.
Have you ever paid to use a product and have the company want to talk to you first so they can ensure they can support your needs? It was a great phone call.
Later, the VO2 Max test went great. Bobby is a true professional. And as a side note, their facepiece for the VO2 Max is wireless. It pushes all of your rolling data to a laptop via Bluetooth. Not having a hose flop around in front of you while running on a treadmill was quite nice.
After the test, I needed to leave so Bobby scheduled a time later that evening that we could talk via Google Meet. If you don’t know, that app is like Skype/Facetime but also allows you to share your screen. He pulled up my 4-page VO2 Max test and covered every line of it. He has a great way of explaining complex scientific data to a layman. And he addressed not only my primary goals but my secondary goals as well for taking the test. I took 3 pages of notes during our call. I wish I had service like this when I was in the Army. I could have been the Hulk!
Then two weeks later, he followed up with an email to see how my fire department physical was going.
Overall, I had a much higher than expected experience. Bobby is a professional compassionate expert. And at least 21 other people agree with me. 😊
PS: Make sure you ask for directions before you go. The building has construction going on around the various doors so it can be hard to find. Basically go to the West side of the building where the gym has their own exterior entrance. And using the parking garage to the South was the best parking unless you happen to find something on the street, which isn’t common.“
– James S.
“I have trained with Bobby for several years and have experienced significant gains in strength and flexibility. Bobby has designed me a program with a mix of olympic lifting, crossfit concepts and mobility work. He constantly varies the program to push me forward. He is very knowledgeable and effectively translates new concepts as we expand my routine. I’m a mother of two and was apprehensive about beginning training, but it has been a great experience. I highly recommend training with Bobby.“
– Louise M.
“Bobby was great! I went to figure out the number of calories I can eat and see my body composition and he helped me with that and more. He knew what he was talking about and was a lot of fun to work with. Looking forward to see the changes I can make with his advice!“
– Jessica K.
“Bobby is great! He is very knowledgeable and you can tell he is very passionate about what he does. He listened to what I was looking for in terms of fitness and body recomposition. He based his recommendations off of my real life data in order to create practical goals, but challenging [in a good, motivational kind of way]. I think I had pretty good knowledge about nutrition and exercise, and I lead a pretty healthy lifestyle. Bobby didn’t waste my time by reviewing things I knew, but rather, he added on and suggested really helpful tweaks in order to help me achieve my goals in a healthy amount of time. It was worth every penny and I’m definitely going back for more sessions as I make progress. I’ve already recommended him to a friend!“
– Christine P.
“I highly recommend Integrative Performance and its owner Bobby. Bobby is extremely knowledgeable and uses cutting edge technology to evaluate your fitness/health needs. Additionally, he provides useful and practical tips to help achieve goals. My wife and I both had a great experience and recommended to several friends/family.“
– Mike H.
“As a competitive athlete and personal trainer, I don’t like leaving my training to a guessing game.
Bobby, a true professional in the business, not only helped administer my VO2 test, but explained in great depth what my metrics meant and how to immediately apply it my training regiment. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking to get more out of their training regiment!“
– Mike W.
“Could not be happier with the experience or the results… I went from not seriously working out for over a decade to three sessions a week…I am living a different life these days. More energy, more strength and way more flexibility than I ever imagined was possible.“
– Scott M.
“Best workout of my life and is very positive and supportive.“
– Lucas W.
“Excellent gym to work out at. All brand new equipment, incredibly knowledgeable trainers, and sometimes they have social events too, which is kind of cool for a gym.
I’ve been a client of Bobby’s for probably about two years and struggle with some health problems that can make it difficult to exercise consistently, and he’s been incredibly understanding of this, and unlike my previous personal trainer at a different gym, has not worked me into rhabdomylosis.
Highly recommend this place if you’re searching for a trainer.“
– Scott C.
“A friend recommended Bobby and Integrative Performance as a place to get back into fitness. I can’t thank Bobby, Matt and the rest of the team. The workouts pushed me and taught me!“
– Mani M.
“I am an athlete who wanted to put on strength and weight to help me perform better. I have been working out with Bobby for over a year and he has helped a ton in my journey.“
– Carter E.
“I did a 360 evaluation with Bobby and I highly recommend everyone to do it.“
– Wissam H.
“Did a VO2 max test and body composition scan with Bobby and his passionate team. They gave me a thorough analysis and I’m sure I’ll be back for some more in the near future! Ya’ll are awesome!“
– Dimitri L.
“I recently completed the 360 evaluation with Bobby and was given a wealth of information to empower my fitness journey. Bobby was super knowledgeable and thorough. I appreciate that he took the time to understand my goals and help me create a personalized plan. He’s clearly passionate about helping people achieve their fitness goals and I’d definitely recommend.“
– Jennifer P.
“Great experience with owner Bobby at Integrative Performance to evaluate my wife. I was referred to Bobby from a trusted friend + endurance athlete.
Background: My wife and I are training for our first marathon scheduled for November 13 in Athens, Greece. We have been training since February. My wife had been feeling pain in her hips/hamstring area the last three weekends on our long runs of 16, 18, and 20 miles. We got concerned about her being able to run the race and wanted to get a fitness/motion/nutrition analysis.
My call with Bobby: I called him on a Monday after the 20 mile run with urgency. He answered, I explained the situation, he was able to squeeze us in 2 days later on Wed afternoon, and then he proceeded to ask me lots of detailed questions about my wife in advance of the appt. He was curious, empathetic, and interested to help her achieve her goal.
The evaluation: Bobby was early, super friendly, and eager to dig in (but not rushing). We had a great and relaxed discussion about her situation, he took notes, he explained the process, he answered our questions, and then he started her nutrition and motion evaluation. He was very thorough and patient as he captured all the information. I can’t begin do adequately describe all the steps and processes he went through. But it was good and helpful.
The results discussion: We sat back down again to go over all the information. The level of detail and analysis that he presented and explained in an easy-to-digest manner was impressive. We asked lots of questions and he had the answers. Our appointment was late in the day, and the very next morning we had a very thorough email explaining everything we discussed and his recommendations with references and video links.
Bottom line: She is running the race in 2 weeks and feeling pretty good. More work for her to do for sure. He gave us a few key nutritional elements for her to implement in the short time we have left, and he also identified some issues with her form and suggested some items she could reasonably work on before the race.
>> Call Integrative Performance now, and meet Bobby. Time and money very, very well spent. We will re-visit him for additional help once we return as marathon finishers. Thanks Bobby!!“
– Nicholas P.
“I initially went to Integrative Performance with intention of just getting a fitness evaluation and body scan, but I walked away with full details of how my body is currently functioning and ways that I can improve it.
Services: 5/5
I’ve been getting body composition tests done twice a year for the past 4 or 5 years of my life and this is the first time that someone has sat down with me to explain the data thoroughly. I’ve also never had anyone identify a weakness in my mobility when observing my flexibility movements and give me advice to improve it.
Talking about my nutrition and getting my cardio VO2 max tested to see where I am in those areas was really helpful in figuring out how to level up my workout regimen from now on. I was being tested and treated like an athlete, which I appreciate.
Communication: 5/5
Arranging my appointment was easy and the owner was on point with customer service. I received email confirmations and calendar invites prior to and after my evaluations. I was initially supposed to do my tests a while ago, but I got injured right before the scheduled appointment. They were completely understanding and flexible with rescheduling and making sure I was ok.
Location: 5/5
I loved how clean the space was and all the staff seemed pretty organized while working with clients. There’s street parking nearby, that’s pretty cheap, as well as a few parking garages. Also plenty of options in walking distance for food after your workout.
Overall, I’ve found where I’m going from now on for my evaluations, and plan on referring my friends as well. I’m actually interested in training there from time to time too since their prices are affordable, so you can get training on a budget. I highly recommend Integrative Performance!!!
– Jennifer P.
“I have been rowing for 7 years, and have been looking to transition back to a competitive level after moving to Arlington a few months ago. I found Integrative Performance on Google Maps looking for fitness/nutrition coaching in the area, and I’m very glad I did.
I met with Bobby (who happens to be the owner) for athletic testing + consultation. We did:
– A conversation about my current status and goals
– A body composition analysis using a medical-grade machine which determines various parameters like resting metabolic rate, fat %, and weight/strength imbalances between Left and Right side of body
-VO2 test to determine how efficiently my body was processing oxygen
– Mobility and range of motion analysis to determine where I had joint tightness/issues
After this, Bobby helped me put together and talked me through a diet plan that supported my current workout goals. He also sent out a thorough, detailed email afterwards so I had an action plan to implement. Great to know he was open to follow-up questions as well.
Bobby is a true professional who holds many certifications and has years of experience in the field of helping people holistically achieve their fitness goals. I would highly recommend visiting Integrative Performance to… everyone. Having an assessment of your body and corresponding recommendations from someone who really gets it is so helpful.
Thanks Bobby! Looking forward to my next visit after I implement the changes 💪“
– Sid G.
“I couldn’t be happier with the amount and quality of information Bobby gave me. After each test we did he took the time to explain every little detail. He prepared diet plan based on my daily routine which works great for about a month now. Bobby is very knowledgeable and attentive. Certainly a place I highly recommend.“
– Dylan Y.
“Very strongly recommended. The team is truly stellar, the facilities are excellent, and the prices are competitive. As a bonus, they have a terrific community of clients who get to know each other. Five stars isn’t enough.“
– Hugh C.
“Integrative Performance is an awesome place for nutritional guidance, especially for those looking to achieve physical fitness goals. Bobby and the staff are very committed to getting results for their clients who put in the work. Shout out to Christina, who was very helpful and knowledgeable on nutrition, holistic health, and helping clients establish a healthy life balance. Integrative Performance set me up for success.“
– Darius M.
“I really appreciated how kind and caring Bobby was in his approach to creating a fitness plan that reflected my needs. The plan that we came up with makes me feel excited to get started on my fitness goals!“
– Eniola A.
“The best thing in 2021 thus far for me was discovering Cygma Performance and having the good fortune to work with Bobby as my personal trainer. Having tried many boutique fitness studios in the area where I worked with a number of excellent coaches, my expectations were blown away by Bobby’s work ethic, professionalism, and knowledge. In addition to really knowing everything under the sun for fitness and nutrition, Bobby was the best cheerleader in helping introduce me to powerlifting when I noted that as one my goals.
His patient and joyful demeanor, combined with his fresh and customized approach that he brought to every training session, years of knowledge in the industry that he willingly shared, and his challenging but fun workouts made every session with him my favorite time of the week that I looked forward to! In my few short sessions with Bobby, I gained so much confidence in working towards my strength training goals.
As a bonus, I loved that the studio is private and only for clients and trainers– making the studio a welcoming, quiet, and non-judgmental setting.
I can’t wait to move back to the area in a few months and work with Bobby again–he’s genuinely interested in your goals and well-being; I only hope he won’t be too busy to make time for me after everyone else discovers this gem of a human being and Cygma Performance!“
– Rhakee S.
“Integrative Performance is a top-notch boutique wellness center that one should try! The equipment is brand new with a range of cardio and strength machines, and Bobby is by far one of the best trainers in the DMV. Very focused on wellness beyond strength training, Bobby provides testing and consults that look at your nutrition and efficiency as an athlete to make your workouts more effective. The other trainers are all extremely qualified and pleasant to be around. Overall a great experience!“
– Leslie M.
“My recent VO2max test with Bobby and his VO2master device was a game-changer for my cycling performance. Bobby’s expertise and personalized approach provided me with actionable insights to enhance my performance. The test results helped me understand my current fitness level and areas for improvement. I can’t wait to retest soon to see if the personalized training plan has led to significant improvements in my endurance, recovery time, and overall performance.
If you’re looking to take your cycling performance to the next level, VO2max testing services are an invaluable resource. The expertise, personalized approach, and dedication to help athletes succeed make Bobby a highly recommended coach.“
– Otto W.
“Highly highly recommend Bobby as a nutrition coach!!! He is the best! I did not think I would be able to lose weight but wanted to slim down a little for my wedding. He knew exactly what to do to exceed my goals and I lost way more weight than I thought my body would even be able to for my wedding. He is careful not to go overboard and do anything unhealthy either. Cannot recommend enough. He is very easy to work with and worth every penny.“
– Gabriella B.
“Bobby was phenomenal-I felt like I knew a lot about fitness and healthy eating already, but he spent quality time with me walking me through how to optimize my nutrition, in a way that would easily fit into my lifestyle. Bobby wasn’t judgmental or fad-forward – he talked through the different diets that are out there – keto, Paleo, etc. – and walked through the pros and cons of each, before discussing a tailored approach for me based on my goals. Then, he emailed me a debrief of our entire conversation – SOOO helpful, and telling all of my friends to go visit him – he knows what he’s talking about and got my excited about taking care of myself. 🙂“
– Ashley T.
“Meeting Bobby from Cygma Performance has been such a blessing. I learned soooo much. Bobby broke down the info in a way that I could start implementing his recommendations right away. And when I started to implement, I started seeing changes right away.
My silly self was dieting too hard and doing the Keto-ish diet but Bobby gave me information based on my body scan and his experience. And here below are some of the results so far:
My energy levels have been more stable.
I don’t feel so hungry all the time.
My back pain has been decreasing because I started to feed my body properly.
I haven’t had to take an ibuprofen in 4 weeks days.
I also wake up more refreshed.
I did not realize how important nutrition and energy balance is. I didn’t even know. But I am soooo grateful that Bobby educated me.
I have lost weight and gained strength.
Go see him!!!! He truly cares about your health and body goals! His compassion and expert knowledge shines through during his sessions.“
– Sierra W.
“Bobak (Bobby) was my personal trainer just after I had 2 back surgeries. He worked with my PT at the time creating an exercise program that would make my core strong enough so I could go back to lift weights.
He has knowledge about how every muscle on your body works and that was detrimental for my come back exercising without getting injured or afraid. He gave me great nutrition advice and my recovery felt holistic, from inside out. I am 51 and have a body of a 35 year old and that is thanks to him!“
– Tatiana M.
“These guys are VERY knowledgeable. Did a fitness evaluation with Bobby and it was excellent – I couldn’t recommend it more. Here is how the session went :
First went through an analysis of my current lifestyle and objectives. Also nutrition analysis
Second, he measured body fat /muscle percentage on this high tech machine.
Third, measured VO2 (oxygenation) while running on another high tech machine.
Fourth, measured range of motion and mobility.
Finally sent a detailed analysis, recommendation and plan of action.
I feel like this should have costed me MUCH more than it is, but they have very affordable prices. Highly recommend them.“
– Iba T.
“Anyone who chooses to work with Bobby is doing the right thing. You receive his in-depth knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and nutrition; he then goes further, getting to know you better than you do. His goal is to ensure you are well-nourished and fit to handle the demands and stress of our daily lives. This is not just a workout or an assessment. Bobby truly cares.“
– Lily R.
“Bobby was really communicative and kind! He got me in even during COVID and explained every detail well. Prices were reasonable and I will definitely be returning.“
