“Renee changed the way I move.
I’ve considered myself an athlete for a long time. I wrestled at a high level, have spent the better part of 20 years weightlifting, and am even certified as a yoga instructor. I’ve never had this strength through a full range of motion before.
Renee had a unique ability to identify small (and some large) changes in my movement patterns that were needed to get my hips, glutes, hamstrings, and core finally working together. The same goes for my upper body — I now easily control weights that I was haphazardly thrusting over my head before. Because I’m strong, other trainers before just assumed I was “doing it right.”
I joke that Renee is a form assassin, but I’m not at all joking. Form matters. In an hour-long session we improved my comfort with a kettlebell get-up from 24kgs to 40kgs and I have similar stories about overhead presses, cleans, and a number of other exercises with broad-reaching implications for athleticism.
I had both my hips redone about 10 years ago and a long line of physical therapists, Pilates instructors, yoga instructors, and other movement specialists have had there go at helping me get back to a pain-free baseline with no results that have stuck. Thanks Renee for getting me here! …And for the thicc glutes.”

“i have so much to say about Renee, my lil espresso shot! the sole reason i formed and maintained a routine i missed and needed so desperately!
after almost two years of not working out AND struggling with my mental health, i joined MAdabolic where she previously trained. it was important to have a solid morning routine to push myself into starting every day off right. sadly the vibes weren’t vibing so i decided to stop dragging myself out of bed. the day of my “last” morning class I almost missed the class, but didn’t thank gawd because Renee was coaching and we hit it off immediately!
She was full of major positive energy (hence the nickname), a huge smile, and kind (yet lowkey aggressive) encouragement that never changed the entire year we trained together!
i owe so much to her for constantly being such a light, reminding me that i’m strong, and kicking my ass to show me how! if you’re debating coaching or training services, i 1000/10 recommend - every time!!
coming for your quads STILL, miss girl! forever glad i took that “last” morning class!!”

I’ve personally benefited from Renee’s training expertise and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an elite and personalized fitness program. ”

“Renee was an integral part in elevating my fitness journey after moving to a new city.
One of the standout qualities of Renee is her meticulous attention to form. This focus on proper form is invaluable, especially for those who are new to certain exercises or those looking to refine their technique.
With her encouraging words and vibrant personality, Renee creates an environment that is both challenging and enjoyable. I always leave her sessions feeling accomplished.
If you're looking for a fitness instructor who is knowledgeable, attentive, and incredibly fun, I highly recommend Renee! ”

Couldn't be more grateful for Renee's guidance and expertise!”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Coach Renee Dunn for the past few months. Renee is a professional in every sense of the word. I have been working with her to improve and gain strength specifically in kettlebell swings and Turkish get ups. Since the swing and getup are complex movements, getting the correct form is crucial. Crucially, Renee is highly competent in her knowledge of body mechanics and getting the athletes body in the proper positions. She will identify the inefficient parts of your movement and help you optimize of the movement… leading to an easier swing or getup, and ultimately leveling up in weight faster. Most importantly she is excellent at articulating and communicating instructions. If you desire to better your form with the kettlebell, you can’t go wrong with Coach Dunn.”
— Jim D., Washington, DC
“Renee is a Bo$$! She’s always keeping my form on point and pushing me to get better and stronger every time I’m in the gym.
She has been my coach for over two years, and as a former college athlete, I was looking for a gym with coaches that could help me build strength through athletic style workouts, and I have definitely found that in Renee’s classes! I’ve never felt stronger and healthier!”
