Committed to helping you achieve your fitness and wellness goals.
About Coach Noel
I'm Noel, founder of FitIt Fitness—a Strength & Conditioning Coach and Functional Training Specialist.
For more than 20 years, I've helped people of all ages and fitness levels become stronger, move better, and improve their quality of life through personalized fitness coaching.
My experience includes working with beginners starting their fitness journey, adults looking to improve strength and mobility, older adults focused on maintaining independence, and individuals working toward better movement and overall health. Many of these client relationships have lasted 13+ years—a track record built on trust, personalized coaching, and consistent results.
I believe fitness should be built on fundamentals: proper movement, consistent training, and programs designed for the individual—not trends or one-size-fits-all workouts.
Along with helping the general population reach their goals, I train youth and teen athletes across a range of sports in strength, conditioning, speed, agility, and injury prevention.
I also work with clients taking GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic® and Wegovy®. My focus is helping preserve lean muscle, maintain strength, support healthy metabolism, and improve long-term function throughout their weight-loss journey through individualized strength training.
In 2015, I served as the Strength & Conditioning Coach for Loudoun Valley High School's lacrosse team during their Virginia State Championship season.
At FitIt Fitness, the goal is simple:
Help you build strength, move better, and live a healthier, more active life.
Helping people build strength, improve mobility, and live healthier, more active lives through personalized coaching built on proper movement and lifelong fitness.

Do you train clients on GLP-1 medications (Ozempic, Wegovy)?
Yes.
Coach Noel designs personalized strength-training programs that help clients preserve lean muscle, maintain strength, improve mobility, support healthy metabolism, and build confidence throughout their GLP-1 journey.
Why is strength training important while taking GLP-1 medications?
GLP-1 medications can be highly effective for weight loss, but without resistance training and adequate protein, some people may lose valuable muscle along with body fat.
Strength training helps preserve lean muscle, maintain metabolism, improve balance and mobility, and support long-term success during and after weight loss.

"I have been working with Noel since June 2012. He is by far the best trainer that I have worked with. He is very flexible in his timing to work with clients. He also is very adaptable to various challenges. For instance when I broke my leg he continued working with me on upper body strength. When Covid hit he was able to adapt and go online. I would highly recommend Noel as a trainer."
