When most of us think about “getting fit,” we envision eating a strict diet of green foods and protein and spending hours at the gym. But, really, it doesn’t have to be — and frankly shouldn’t be — that way.
Alexandria’s Whetstone Virtual Fitness creates customized nutrition and fitness plans to help you meet your goals — no matter how busy you are. This is all virtual, which gives you the flexibility to workout when YOU have the time. No more worrying about rushing across town for a personal training session.
Aside from being all online, here’s how Whetstone is different than other programs out there:
- Whetstone’s experts will create customized nutrition plan and fitness routine based on your goals and fitness level.
- You get access to one-on-one expert nutrition coaching that’ll help you lose fat, gain muscle and, overall, feel more confident and healthy.
- A personal coach will send you different workout routines based on your fitness level you can do in under an hour from your home. They’ll also check in with you each week because accountability is key!
To get started, schedule a free online consultation. This is a simple 30-minute Zoom call where you’ll share your health and fitness goals with an expert coach. They’ll design an online fitness plan tailored just for you.
There’s no need to wait until the new year to commit to your health and fitness goals. It takes less than a minute to get started.

If you had a chance to enhance a child’s future with a time commitment of less than 2 hours a week, how would you respond? You have that opportunity right now to join over 200 Alexandrians as a reading tutor volunteer with the Alexandria Tutoring Consortium (ATC).
ATC tutors work with one child in kindergarten, first, or second grade in Alexandria public schools who need extra help with reading. Tutors meet with their Book Buddy 1-2 times each week for 30 minutes October-May at school, during school hours. Many struggling readers only receive one-on-one instruction through this program, and it makes all the difference. Last year, ATC served 195 children, of whom 82% ended the year reading on grade level and 96% made substantial reading gains. But the need is great, and we are still seeing learning lags from the pandemic.
This year, ATC plans to significantly increase the size of the program to reach over 250 students and to serve every elementary school in Alexandria. This is very exciting news, but we will only succeed if we can recruit more tutors. ATC trains you, matches you with a child, and provides ongoing lesson materials and support.
