A Certified Personal Trainer in Your Corner
If you are tired of gimmicks, and are looking for results and a fresh approach to meeting your fitness health and fitness goals - I am the Trainer for you! My name is Larry D. Carroll, Sr. I am the owner of Larry's World of Fitness, LLC and CEO of KAAOS Gym & Athletic Training Center. I have over 25 years of experience in the health and fitness field. As a lifelong athlete, I chose to turn my passion for exercise, fitness and health into a profession.
As a former fitness instructor and fitness specialists at the Washington Sports Club, I began teaching exercise classes and providing personal training sessions. I decided to expand my knowledge and experience by providing these services at a wide variety of corporate, government, and commercial facilities. These sites included the British Embassy, The Organization of American States, Housing and Urban Development, Department of Justice, General Accountant Office, National Labor Relation Board, Ronald Reagan Building, Thurgood Marshall Building, Department of Energy, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Department of Transportation, Inter-Development American Bank (IDB Fitness Center), International Monetary Fund, Waldorf Fitness Center (formally Gold’s Gym), World Gym in LA Plata, Run-N-Shoot Athletic Center, Total Fitness for Women (LaPlata,MD), World Gym (Prince Fredrick), GlaxoSmithKline, Kaiser Permanente, General Services Administration (GSA), BlueCross/BlueShield, VAN NESS East Condo's and Lloyd’s Martial Arts Academy.
Through my work at all of these facilities, I have provided fitness instruction and services to individuals with a broad range of needs. I continually change the content and focus of my exercise classes and training to meet the need of the participants and to ensure that their goals are being met. My exercise programs have assisted clients with weight loss, muscle conditioning, toning, and enhanced athletic performance. I also provide personal training and nutrition services. I conduct both individual and group training sessions, and I have trained all fitness levels from beginners to triathletes. My training programs are designed to meet individual needs and goals. My training have assisted clients with weight loss, muscle conditioning, strength and increased lean muscle. I have even tailored my training to meet the needs of women during pregnancy.
With respect to my athletic background, I began at an early age. During my junior high and high school years I competitively boxed, ran track and played football. I began competitive weightlifting in my early 20s. I moved from a national ranking of 166th to a ranking of 77th in two years. I also achieved recognition in the competitive powerlifting arena. I won numerous awards as a State, Regional, National and World Powerlifter. These include the National Athlete Strength Association Powerlifting National Championship (2001) – 1st Place; National Athlete Strength Association Powerlifting World Cup (2001) – 1st Place; and the National Athlete Strength Association Powerlifting Master/Sub-Masters Championship (2002) – 4 - 1st Places & American Squat Record. During this time I also earned a black belt in kickboxing. More recently, I have coached a youth basketball team in Fairfax County and worked as the strength and conditioning coach and lineman/special teams coach for a semi-pro football team.
