With no job too large or too small, Great Falls Design Build does great work.  I have known Jim Cassell for a great many years and have been happy to refer him to others.  Just this month, he has finished a very complicated deck on my home.  I typically try to serve as my own general contractor and do this type of work myself.  Once Nancy and my sister-in-law Pat completed the drawings, I knew it wasn’t something I wanted to tackle.  Once I received the quote from Jim for the work, it didn’t take me long to go ahead and agree to have him do the work.  The deck came out great and really did exceed my expectation.  Take a look at the Great Falls Design Build website to see some of  their other projects.  Please do let them know I have referred you.

I recently joined the local gym here in Great Falls – Elite Fitness Concepts.  Many of my friends, knowing that I have always been a fairly serious weightlifter, asked why I joined such a small facility.  Truth be told, I had looked at Elite when they first opened 10 years ago and had absolutely no interest in the gym.  Well things changed dramatically since that time.  Although still a small building, it is chock full of equipment and weights.  It is now a full service gym and offers most everything you could possibly need.  In addition to the exercise equipment, Elite trainers run Spinning Classes, Yoga Classes, and some strange class that is a type of dance class called Kukuwa.  These classes are all included in the very reasonable monthly fee.  Elite also offers Pilates, Massage and several other activities for a reasonable fee.  There is also a full complement of personal trainers (one of whom has actually appeared on “The Biggest Loser” training a couple from Ashburn).  I highly recommend the gym and would love to see you there.  Just let them know I suggested you stop by and they just might give you a free trial period.

Stop by and take a look or visit their website: http://www.elitefitnessconcepts.com/contact.html

The gym is located at: 10123 Colvin Run Rd.  Great Falls, Va.  22066.  Phone number:  (703) 759-7820.

Elite is holding an Open House this Thursday and Friday.  They are offering food and coffee and will be holding a raffle for free massages, pilates training sessions and personal training.  They are also inviting you to try a one or two classes with one of the trainers.

As a service to my clients, friends and neighbors, I have begun compiling a directory of businesses (e.g., services, contractors, lawyers, etc.) that I or others recommend.  Please feel free to make recommendations of others you would like to see included in this directory by contacting me or leaving a comment on the Referral Directory page.  If you do so, I only ask that you include an overview of their services and why you are recommending them.
