There’s a new gym just off Duke Street in Alexandria.

Over the weekend, the ribbon was cut at KRISSFIT at 3014 Colvin Street, near the intersection of Roth and Duke Streets. The gym is owned by personal trainers Kriss and Viktoria Baychev, who specialize in core training, nutrition, strength training, endurance training, and bodybuilding.

“Their approach combines custom fitness programs with nutritional guidance — all delivered in a motivating, supportive environment,” the Chamber ALX said. “It’s a great new addition to Alexandria’s wellness and small business scene.”

The gym is currently hiring personal trainers, according to the company website.
