Since 1998, Elite Fitness Concepts (EFC) has provided health and fitness
programs for all ages and abilities. Located in the heart of Great Falls,
Virginia, EFC is best known for its unique community-based atmosphere where you can pursue your fitness goals.
We enjoy working directly with clients while also managing the day-to-day operations of the club. Moving to our new facility in 2001, we were able to design a fully equipped fitness center, inclusive of exercise and massage studios, lockers and showers, while also expanding our fitness programs.

The expanded studios offer innovative group fitness classes as well as personalized wellness programs. EFC also provides off-site youth camps designed to enhance speed and conditioning, as well as give instruction on injury prevention and rehabilitation for the young athlete.

Joseph F. Cassella, a devoted father, husband, son, brother and friend passed away surrounded by his family and friends on July 11, 2009 after a heroic 10 month battle with mesothelioma.
Since Joe opened Elite Fitness Concepts he became an intergral part of the Great Falls community. He spent every waking day going from good to great. He was up far before sunrise just to open the doors to his fitness facility prior to the actual 5:30 a.m. opening hours. He did so just to accomodate the needs for his members. Joe was more than an outstanding personal trainer and business hero... He was a superhero.
