Epic Athletic Center is a superb place to train.Joe is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and will help you reach your goals. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Within the first day or two of meeting, he set me up with a personalized fitness plan, nutrition program, and other guidelines. He also checked in when I was at the gym, was on hand for questions, and always made time to talk even when busy. He stresses the basics: effort, technique, consistency. There are no gimmicks here, just solid advice and encouragement.The facility itself has all of the equipment you will need, with an excellent set of new machines and ample free weights, etc. It is also kept very clean. The feel of the place is more like a friendly fitness club than a gym. It is never too crowded and there are usually a handful of people working out during normal business hours which makes the training feel more of a group effort.All in all, Joe is the best of the best. I know that his advice will stick with me for years to come, not only with training, but also with sleep, nutrition, and goal-setting. Thanks again, Joe!

My son has been going to Epic for about 2 years. This has been fantastic from a strength and fitness perspective, and Epic definitely knows how to work with teens who are still growing. My son’s body composition has changed dramatically. The added bonus is the autonomy and confidence about his athletic training, knowledge that he will take past his high school sports career into his life. We feel lucky to have found Epic!

My son joined Epic in 2019 and is very pleased with his progress since joining. Joe has been great explaining proper diet and exercises to be healthy and prepared for baseball (probably any sport or activity). My son is more confident and much stronger. As a parent, Joe took the time to answer all my questions prior to and after joining the gym. It's a pleasure talking with Joe about his passion.

Terrific gym! Epic was highly recommended to us years ago by an experienced coach as a great resource for student-athletes who want to focus on strength training to improve their game. Epic is not limited to just student-athletes though, as Joe encourages incorporating strength training into your health journey at any age/skill level. All are welcome and all will feel comfortable in the positive, clean, professional environment.

Epic Athletic Center is a great gym, regardless of your fitness level or goals. I’m fairly new to focusing on strength training and Joe has been extremely helpful in teaching me the fundamentals. He puts a strong emphasis on learning good technique first and and will take the time to understand your fitness history and goals, so you get specific program that sets you up for success. Overall it's a supportive and positive environment and I’d recommend it to anyone looking to improve their health and fitness.

“For all ranges of athletes, from any age group, Joe and his team at Epic are simply as good as it gets. You WANT to train with these guys! Trust me. They are a notch above.”

–Casey Frederick

“I owe everything in my collegiate baseball career to Joe Helisek and everything he and the Epic experience has provided for me. I’ve always said Epic is more than a gym, it’s a lifestyle. And I guarantee you will not regret your decision when you buy into the Epic lifestyle.”

–Michael Michallas

“This is the best gym I have ever been to in my entire life. As an Officer in the US Army with 9+ years of experience, I have tried many different gyms and hundreds of different training methodologies. The quality of training and instruction that Joe Helisek and Dr. Chris Rahbar provide is hands down the best. “

–Brian Hobeck

“Joe Helisek runs the best athletic training program in the Northern Virginia area. You won’t find a more knowledgeable person when it comes to strength, conditioning, flexibility, sport specific, and diet aspects of achieving athletic goals for all ages.”

–Chad Carroll

“My teen has been working out with EPIC for over 2 years- she’s gained so much from training there! Never mind what the increased strength and physical control and awareness of her body has done for her softball game- the life lessons she learns in responsibility, focus and nutrition are terrific.”
