About Damion

25 years.
1,000 clients.
One mission.

Some coaches count reps. I read people.

After 25 years and more than a thousand clients, I've learned something no certification teaches: the workout is almost never the hardest part. The hardest part is showing up — when your back is flaring, when you haven't slept, when you're coming back from surgery, when you've fallen off and don't know how to get back on. That's where I do my best work.

My approach comes down to a simple belief: strength training, done intelligently and consistently, is the most powerful investment you can make in your own longevity. Not aesthetic-only results. Not a program designed to impress. A body that works better, moves freer, and holds up longer. That's why my clients don't leave. My longest active client relationship is 18 years. Several others span a decade or more. They stay because the work keeps evolving — and because I keep showing up with something new.

No two sessions are the same. I draw from strength and resistance training, functional kettlebell and landmine protocols, yoga, kickboxing, Pilates methods, and breathwork to meet each client exactly where they are — today, not on paper. Every session starts the same way: how are you feeling, physically and mentally? The answer changes everything that follows.

The results my clients describe go beyond numbers. One came to me post-COVID, 25 pounds over her normal weight, and felt strong and powerful on her wedding day three years later. A 50-year-old with a history of knee and elbow surgeries won a body composition competition, dropping 11% body fat in 60 days. A client with chronic back issues hasn't had a single injury in years after constant setbacks everywhere else. A new mother credits our work with making her feel like herself again on the other side of postpartum.

These aren't outliers. They're the pattern.

One of my longest-standing clients is a highly accomplished marathon runner — 75 years old. For years, our conversations centered on performance, recovery, and supporting an aggressive running schedule. Then the conversation changed. His body was sending signals that it couldn't simply outwork the accumulated miles anymore. I remember telling him: our goal is no longer to become a better marathon runner. Our goal is to become a stronger, more resilient human being who can keep enjoying life for decades to come. More strength. More functional pattern refinement. More mobility. More recovery. More respect for what the body needs in that season of life. The lesson was simple — fitness should evolve as life evolves. What got you here won't necessarily get you where you're going next.

I understand that season-of-life shift personally, because I've lived it. I met my wife at the gym — which honestly makes perfect sense for how we're wired. We both believe in intentional movement, and that shared value became the foundation of everything we've built together. We married in 2018, and we're now parents to two amazing kids, Miles and Noa. We're also both entrepreneurs — she runs a nail studio that's been recognized as the best in the area multiple years running, and I run DMossFitness. Two businesses, two kids, one household. It keeps life full in the best way.

Becoming a husband and father completely changed how I coach. Early in my career, fitness was mostly about performance and results. Now I see it as a tool that helps people show up more fully for the people they love. That shift is real, and it shows up in every client relationship I have.

Before I coached anyone, I was an athlete. Two-time Maryland state champion in the long jump. State champion in the indoor high jump. First Team All-State in football, Anne Arundel County Athlete of the Year, and selected for the 1996 Chesapeake Classic. Since then I've founded and led a yoga studio, been featured on WJLA Channel 7, and been named Arlington's Best Personal Trainer in 2023 — and top vote-getter again in 2025.

But the thing I'm proudest of is harder to put on a list. I've spent years coaching people in Arlington, and the most rewarding part has been watching lives unfold over time. I've trained clients through engagements, marriages, pregnancies, career changes, retirements, surgeries, and recoveries. Most of the people I invited to my wedding were clients. I've met spouses, children, parents — even family dogs that somehow became part of the training experience. Because I've been here so long, my relationships extend far beyond the gym floor. I run into clients at local restaurants, community events, youth sports games, neighborhood gatherings. Arlington has let me build something that feels increasingly rare: a truly local business built on long-term relationships.

When people walk into my studio, I'm not seeing memberships or transactions. I'm seeing people whose stories I've had the privilege to be part of for years.

It's priceless.

Client Stories

The proof is in the people

"My wife and I have been training with Damion for the past year and our overall health has improved a great deal. My improved flexibility and mobility is what I appreciate the most. I am recovering from knee surgery and he is always attentive and gives me alternate exercises when I need them. Overall it has been a great experience, Damion is always professional and personable. We are very fortunate to have been referred to him!"

"Damion is an absolutely amazing trainer-- genuinely invested, motivating, and professional. He works hard to ensure our workouts are tailored to my personal goals, and is always able to pivot no matter the circumstances. His encouragement and positivity always strive me to work harder during every session. I couldn't ask for a better coach!"

"I've been training with Damion for several years. He's great at mixing things up so the workouts never feel repetitive. He pushes enough to challenge me, but always with a close eye on my form, my back issues, or anything else going on. He knows when I'm just being dramatic and when something actually needs to be adjusted. Damion has good energy and is genuinely personable, which is important for someone like me who struggles with motivation around working out. I've made real progress with him, and I feel stronger because of our sessions. Highly recommend!"

"Damion is my ambassador to push-ups — and honestly, to becoming the strongest version of myself. I've been training with him for three years, after coming out of COVID feeling out of shape, 25 pounds over my normal weight, and completely sluggish. Damion met me exactly where I was — with encouragement, expertise, and just the right amount of push — and he's helped me rebuild my strength and confidence beyond anything I thought possible. What sets Damion apart is his zero-judgment coaching style. I've never once felt criticized for where I started. Every session was about progress, power, and building from where I was that day. That balance of challenge and support is rare — and it works. The results speak for themselves. Somewhere along the way, I got married — and I felt strong, fit, and powerful on my wedding day. That was a gift I'll never forget."

"I cannot recommend Damion highly enough. His approach is unique and incredibly effective, balancing stability, flexibility, and power. Damion listens carefully and customizes the plan to your goals using a multidisciplinary approach. If you want a trainer who is both highly knowledgeable and genuinely listens, look no further."

"Damion is the best trainer out there! He crafts personalized workouts mixing in strength training, balance challenges and cardio-intensity to target your fitness goals. If you hire him, you will see results!"

"Damion has been my trainer for around 7 years and he has helped me a lot and is so good at adjusting to what is going on with my body. I highly recommend him for any age group! He is also very kind and accommodating to everything."

"I've been working out with Damion for 2 years. He is not only a kind and gentle soul but manages to get you to believe that you can do more. He is always prepared for your session and keeps it interesting, something a little different every time. A small independent personalized studio with a lot heart!"

"Damion is the best. He has a true level of expertise when it comes to fitness and training, an he engages his clients as individuals and motivates them to do their best. I'm confident that wherever you're starting from and whatever your goals are, Damion can help you achieve it - and you'll have fun in the process. I highly recommend DMossFitness!"

"Damion is a true professional and ABSOLUTELY worth every penny. I would highly recommend him to family and friends. He focuses on each client very personally - on their needs, wants, etc. He definitely stands out from the pack of even the best fitness experts out there!"

"I have been working out with Damion for six year. He is always finds new ways to challenge me and keep the work outs fresh. I highly recommend his service."

"Damion has been instrumental in my journey to gaining strength and mobility. He tailors each session to get closer to my ultimate goal of feeling stronger and agile. We work know exercises that are challenging and keep my heart rate up. It's been a great experience in 2021 training with Damion and one of my goals in 2022 is to continue our personal sessions. I highly recommend and the studios / workout spaces he has are phenomenal!"

"My friends and I are four months into group training with Damion. He is dependable and punctual. Damion is very creative and makes each workout different from previous workouts and is constantly introducing new exercises. He pushes our group but is mindful of our limits. He provides great encouragement. I would definitely recommend him to others!"

"Damion is great! I've been working with him for a few years now and I'm very happy with the results."

"I only have great things to say about Damion!! I've been training with Damion for about 5 years now. He is kind, funny, enthusiastic, encouraging, understanding, and patient. He does a variety of workouts and exercises to meet personal needs, accommodate injuries, and strengthen any weaknesses. He always pushes me to do better and I always appreciate that! I would recommend Damion to anyone who is looking for a trainer!"

"I have been training with Damion for almost 7 years. I started working out with him because I was getting injured in group training weight lifting classes. I haven't had a single injury since I have been working out with him and I am much stronger than before. Damion is an excellent personal trainer and there is no cookie-cutter approach when you work out with him. At the beginning of every session he checks in with how are you feeling physically and mentally and tailors the work out to that. Every session is different and interesting and I have never left a training without feeling stronger and energized. Damion takes a holistic approach to wellness and his workouts. He is very in tune with his clients and their needs. He is also extremely personable and funny so workouts are never boring. I highly recommend Dmoss Fitness. It's worth every penny!"

"What a great workout! I give him my highest rating without reservation. I have been working out with Damion for going on one year and boy has it been worth it. He is a great professional bringing enthusiastic and skillful service to each session. I have enjoyed better flexibility and strength building improvements. These are important to me as I approach 60. My last session was especially stress reducing after a hard week riding the airplanes. Damion is a keeper so do not miss him."

"Damion is an exceptional personal trainer. He is thoughtful in designing his workouts, always keeping in mind the overall training goals of his clients. He designs his training sessions rotating between cardio, strength, endurance, flexibility and balance. All of which is important to prevent overuse injury. Damion is experienced enough to work around any pre-existing injury to ensure you always get a challenging yet safe workout. He has been my trainer for over 12 yrs. He is the best in town."

"Damion has kept me motivated to get up at 5:15 AM to workout, which I've never been able to do before! He is patient, encouraging and helpful. I like that there is a ton of variety...the workouts seem customized and well thought out ahead of time. I like that he has in-person as well as Zoom options. And he's flexible and easy to work with. Would highly recommend him!"

"I have been training with Damion for a year. He has made all of the difference in my strength and overall conditioning. He brings a positivity to every session, and every session is different. As someone who doesn't love to exercise, those qualities have been essential to keeping me motivated and engaged. Just a great trainer!"

"I've known Damion for almost 15yrs, and since the beginning, he's been very professional, responsive, and helpful. I've had a back injury, among other things, which set me back. Damion provides modifications during our workouts that don't injure my back but the goal and technique are achieved. I feel stronger and in better health because of Damion's guidance, suggestions, and training. During covid and lockdown, he's been able to accommodate virtually. I highly recommend him; you won't be disappointed!"

"I have known Damion for over 10 years and I can say he is one of the best trainers out there. He is knowledgeable, personable, and provides a lot of variety in the exercises he choses, to keep the workouts fun. He teaches how to exercise correctly and kindly corrects you when needed. Damion has an amazing personal gym, but offers video sessions, which is what we have been doing during Covid. I recommend him for any level of fitness. Oh, did I say he is an awesome cycling instructor, does breath work and has knowledge and advice about intermittent fasting too? Give him a try, you won't be disappointed!"

"Great personal training experience. I've trained with Damion for several years & he always provides a workout specific to individual goals. He focuses not only on the physical aspect of the workout, but also emphasizes the importance of a strong mind and healthy lifestyle - something he takes pride in himself as well."

"In just a few sessions with Damion my energy levels and strength were noticeable improved. His workouts are challenging and motivating. I especially like the variety he brings to his workouts, and he makes them fun. He is also flexible when it comes to scheduling."

"Damion has been my trainer for the last 18+ months and I love that he takes a holistic approach to training. He cares about the mind and body when he's working with a client, which is especially important me because I suffer from anxiety. He's always been able to support my needs, and now he's prepping me for an international pageant!"

"I've been training with Damion for the past two years. He's fantastic. He never asks for more than I can give, but it's always more than I think I can do. I've worked out with him 1:1 and with my husband. He listens to my goals and gives me the tools and motivation to keep working, even between sessions. I recommend him to anyone with any fitness goal. He'll work with you to achieve it."

"My husband and I have trained with Damion for over a year. Our strength, flexibility, mobility and overall health have greatly improved from his training and advice. He is passionate about wellness and it shows in his training. He is always attentive to any injuries or other issues you might have, and he makes sure that you are doing every exercise with correct form. We have learned many new exercises and stretches from him, and his workouts are very creative and dynamic - we have never done the same workout twice! He is also very professional and pleasant. It's been a great experience and he has truly supported and guided us in our journey to reach our fitness goals. I highly recommend Dmoss Fitness!"

"I've known Damion for years but just recently had the opportunity to work with DMoss Fitness. Damion is the real deal - his workouts are intense (in the best way), he's encouraging but firm, and there's so much variety you won't ever get bored. He's adapted during COVID and his workouts are safe/distanced. I can't recommend DMoss Fitness enough! If you're looking to tone, loose weight, or add variety to your training, DMoss Fitness is the way to go."

"Damion is great. The workouts are tailored to your specific training goals (I play a lot of tennis, we do some swing pattern training) and he mixes-up the exercises so you're doing different exercises/techniques, which makes the workouts more enjoyable and beneficial. Highly recommend him if you're looking for a trainer."

"Damion always keeps his workouts interesting and challenging. He is great at motivating and encouraging you to push yourself within safe bounds. He's also very personable and fun to spend time with."

"Damion has been my trainer for 12 years. I've had 3 children during that time and have stayed very healthy the whole time thanks to his ability to personalize his training based on the individual client. After I had my 2nd child, he literally did the aerobics with me to keep me going through the pain and sleep deprivation. He is constantly changing the work we do, incorporating yoga, Pilates, LIT or HIIT methods. There is no routine with him. And he is just an awesome person to spend time with, which helps when spending so much time together."

"Damion is the best at what he does, period. Not only does he work with you to attain your specific goals, he has the unique talent to see the bigger picture and uses scientifically-proven and innovative techniques giving you the opportunity to reach that elusive higher level. I am beyond grateful that his intelligence, experience and guidance have provided me with every tool needed to succeed. It's a journey and I look forward to being a DMoss Fitness member for the foreseeable future!"

"I've been working with Damion for several years now and he's always impressed me with his creativity in designing new workouts and his ability to motivate. I definitely recommend that you work with him."

"Damion is awesome and very professional. He can guide you and help you with your body goals. I saw amazing results in short period of time. Highly recommended."

"Damion encourages me to focus on me- he is fantastic in a group workout setting or one on one. Positive energy and creative workouts!"

"I am a recent 50 year old and Damion got me in insane shape, enough to win a percentage body fat composition competition and had me lose 11% body fat in 60 days. All of that with knee and elbow surgeries over the years."

"Damion is awesome! He is multi dimensional. As a Pilates and yoga teacher it's hard for me to connect with most trainers but Damion puts elements of yoga and functional movement into weight training that I love. He has been doing this for decades and is very knowledgeable. 5 ⭐"

"Damion is a rare and exceptional talent. He incorporates a professional understanding of movement and longevity science into interesting workouts that I really look forward to. He calibrates everything to where you're at during the workout. I highly recommend working out with D.Moss Fitness!"

"Damion is the BEST! He was my trainer for years!!! I can't recommend him enough!"

"I first met Damion M. Moss when he was a cycling instructor, and you won't find a more knowledgeable trainer. Hire him and you won't be disappointed."

"Damion is my first recommendation for personal trainers. He brings multiple disciplines into his approach and creates unique programs that help get you to your goals. He was voted the best in Arlington for a reason!"

"Damion is a great trainer! It's impossible to plateau with him because his workouts are so varied. If staying in your comfort zone is your thing, then he's not your guy. He will push you and is a natural at reading your strengths/weaknesses and tailoring your program accordingly."

"Damion M. Moss is amazing. I have always enjoyed his workout!!! You can not go wrong working with him. Fabulous trainer!!!"

"Finding a knowledgeable trainer is hard; finding one that you can work with for 10+ years is rare. Damion M. Moss has helped me and others build a consistent lifestyle, offering expert guidance on form and programming. He adapts to where you need, whether you are stressed, tired, or looking to break a personal record. He's great!"

"I worked out with Damion M. Moss for a while! Both while I was pregnant and through my postpartum journey. He tailored every session to my needs and helped me become one strong mama! I really enjoyed his functional training methods and loved how he switched up every session so it was never boring or too repetitive. Damion is kind, funny, hard working and just the very best!"

"I've known Damion M. Moss for 20 years, and he's trained me here and there throughout said years. I highly recommend him; he's patient and understands his clients' needs."

"Damion M. Moss is great! He'll listen to your needs before coming out with a workout. Great approach."

"Truly the best personal trainer in Arlington. His studio is conveniently located on Columbia Pike and has all the tools you need to succeed. He's constantly learning and evolving his approach, with a strong focus on functional training and long-term health. Longevity over trends and fads! He works with all ages and experience levels, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his craft and every single client he trains."

"I second Damion M. Moss for all of your fitness, health and wellness goals! His knowledge, experience and ability to meet the needs of everyone he works with is truly remarkable."

"Damion is a superstar trainer!!! He knows his stuff, is so encouraging and just a wonderful person to be around. He is good for young and old and all levels of fitness. Several people in my family have gone to him and we all loved him so much that we started to invited him to family holidays and gatherings."

"Damion M. Moss is a top tier trainer (and clearly lots of others agree)! I'm also a trainer and have worked with Damion and have seen his integrity in his business and his passion for helping his clients in action. I'd recommend him to anyone!"
