What’s Included in Your 4-Session Starter Pack
Each session builds on the previous one — a structured introduction to personal training at Sand & Steel in Alexandria, VA.
Session 1: Fitness & Movement Assessment
A full movement analysis using the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and additional assessments used in professional sports and corrective exercise. You’ll learn which areas need mobility, stability, or strength — and which movements are safest to train right now. We also take baseline strength and conditioning measurements so you can track real progress.
Session 2: Corrective Exercise & Rehab Training
Based on your assessment results, we address mobility restrictions, pain triggers, muscular imbalances, and faulty movement patterns. This session improves how your body moves and reduces injury risk — before adding heavier training. Especially helpful for clients with knee, shoulder, hip, or back history.
Session 3: Nutrition Coaching + InBody 570 Scan
We use the InBody 570 to measure body fat, lean muscle, hydration, and metabolic indicators. Then we build a personalized nutrition strategy based on your training goals, schedule, lifestyle, and dietary preferences — actionable guidance tailored to you.
Session 4: Personalized Training Session
We put everything together in a customized training session. You’ll learn safe lifting technique, proper mechanics for foundational movements, and individualized progressions based on your assessment, corrective work, and nutrition plan.
Comprehensive Health and Fitness Report
Each Starter Pack includes a written report covering your fitness assessment, rehab observations, nutrition guidance, InBody results, and workout summary. Coach Paul shares this report with you and the coaching team.
A Coaching Profile Shared Across Our Team
Across these four sessions, your coach documents your movement patterns, strengths, limitations, nutrition habits, pain triggers, learning style, and safe loading ranges.
That information becomes your personalized coaching profile — shared with the Sand & Steel coaching team — so every coach knows how to help you succeed from day one.
- Smarter scaling and progressions tailored to your body
- Consistent coaching across trainers
- Clear guidance for injury-aware training and recovery
- Faster progress because your coaches already understand you

What Members Say
“I’ve tried personal training at three different gyms in NoVA. Sand & Steel is in a different league. Every program is customized, every session is intentional, and they genuinely care about results.”
“After a back injury left me unable to deadlift or squat, I thought my strength training days were over. Paul worked with me for 6 months on mobility and gradual loading. Now I’m back to full training — and stronger than before.”
“Paul is very good at helping with form. He does a great job of pushing but balancing that with technique and what is reasonable. At my age, avoiding injury is my highest priority by far.”
