Putting the «Personal» back in «Personal Training»

At Tidal Elite Performance Center, our approach is different from other training studios in the Washington DC area. We design an exercise regimen based on your body and your goals – not on pictures in a book or a pre-​structured training routine. Active adults and athletes rely on our expertise in Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) and our highly skilled trainers.

Our intake process is the most comprehensive in the DC area, and we specialize in performance enhancement through focusing on proper joint mechanics and structure. If you’re injured, we’ll get you back stronger and faster, without the fear of re-​injury. At Tidal Elite Performance Center, we build strong foundations and customize a training program to suit your individual needs and goals.

No matter where you’re starting from on your fitness journey, we will partner with you and guide you along on your path. Whether you seek self-​improvement, increased strength and endurance, or a specific personal goal, our trainers will help you reach your goals.

Business Owner

Founder of Tidal Elite Performance Center, personal trainer J Braun has been a Certified Mastery level Resistance Training Specialist since 2009. Having previously held CSCS and PES certifications, he is also a Muscle Activations Techniques Specialist. Since 1998, J has been training clients and athletes at varying stages of development. He is currently a Strength Coach for the Potomac Boat Club’s Olympic Development Team.

J specializes in training clients that are committed to feeling and functioning better. His philosophy: If a body can’t recover from a workout, it can’t adapt to it. This balancing act is accomplished by making sure the client is always in a mechanically sound position, using an appropriate load, and performing the best exercise for the desired goal.

Weight training with TEPC is strengthening from the inside out — complete and through balance. I have been a runner for 30 years and practiced yoga for 15, but it was only when I started training with J that everything came together. Each session J cycles through different muscle groups. The sessions are challenging to just the right degree so that my strength has grown steadily over each session. I was so impressed with how well TEPC understands the mechanics of how the body works, that I had both of my sons train with J in High School– for football and track. Overall the training has improved how I can function on a daily basis — in athletics and day to day life

I started working with Jay shortly after Tidal opened. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Not only did I want to get in better shape, I also wanted to work on my balance. I had broken my ankle by slipping on ice the year before I started working with Jay. It was the first time I had ever broken a bone and knew that I did not ever want to deal with something like that again. I am happy to say that since I’ve been working with Jay, I have not broken another bone nor have I fallen and hurt myself badly again. My balance has improved tremendously. In addition, my body is so much more toned than it used to be. I am also happy to say that sometimes I notice places where I didn’t know I had muscles. My friends also make positive comments, especially when they haven’t seen me for a while.
The studio is very convenient to where I live, the equipment is high end and well maintained, and I never have to wait to use a cardio machine of my choice. The other trainees are friendly and serious about their work out goals. If you are looking for a great place to work with a personal trainer and workout, look no farther. Tidal is the one!

I have been training with Jason for about 5 weeks now and I have really enjoyed training with him. He is very knowledgeable about the mechanics of the human body and sets up routines that are adequate for your level of fitness and are challenging without putting you at risk for injury. I had trained in the past with trainers at gyms who seemed to produce cookie cutter routines without taking into acount the clients needs. I would recommend Jason for anyone who is looking into personal training at all levels

I can’t believe it’s been over 5 years since I started my weekly workout habit at Tidal EPC. Prior to signing up and training w/​J., I was gaining rapid weight with little will power to stick to an exercise régime lasting longer than a couple of weeks.
J understood my exercise goals and have since always walked the fine line between pushing too hard and being too lenient during our weekly training sessions. Since 2006, I’ve lost and kept off considerable weight, gained muscle tone and enjoy a happier and healthier standard of living.
Tidal EPC’s roomy facility with updated exercise equipments presents an encouraging environment to continue one’s exercise régime.
J. and the folks at Tidal are worth every penny.

I’ve been training with J for about a year, and it’s my all-​time favorite place to train. The gym itself is completely laid back, friendly atmosphere, and private. The equipment is top of the line — better than Equinox or really any other gym. My workouts with J are awesome. They are always different, and actually take into account my goals and what is going on that day (soreness, injury, stress level, other activities). J also gives me workouts for triathlon training based on heart rate (using the zones from the metabolic test on the treadmill) — and I’ve never been faster. As someone who had constantly been plagued with injuries before I met J, I’ve been amazed and how I have been able to train for triathlons and weight train consistently and successfully. I couldn’t recommend him any more — to anyone.

I have been going to this gym/​studio since inception and it second to none when it comes to training and honest/​accurate assessments. I’ve been to other gyms and am tired of the same old «crap shoot» when it comes to your trainer and their knowledge.
It is a studio and not an old warehouse — it’s more personal and private, though it still has all the amenities you need to shower and secure your personal items. All the equipment (weights and cardio) are NEW, top of the line, clean and work! I’ve been to too many gyms where that is NOT the case… I’m sure we all have!
If you are serious about your training, your results and are tired of meat market gyms, this is the place to get serious. In the end, you have to want it and going to the same gym day in and day out can get challenging — which brings me to my final point about Tidal EPC — the owner and staff are so much fun to be around… lets face it, good conversation is not required… nor is laughter — but what a difference it makes!
