Optimal Fitness Solutions

Hi, I’m Tijani “TJ” Mottley, founder of Optimal Fitness Solutions. I’m new to Thumbtack and bring over 12 years of experience, more than 10,000 coaching hours, and hundreds of client success stories. My career spans upscale, nationally recognized gyms and private luxury boutique studios serving professionals and high-profile clientele. In management and senior coaching roles, I’ve mentored trainers, developed coaching standards, and overseen the client experience. Those responsibilities have shaped the level of preparation, attention to detail, and follow-through I bring to every client. At Optimal Fitness Solutions, I provide a premium personal training service that brings together individualized exercise programming, 1:1 personal training sessions, practical nutritional guidance, and ongoing accountability. Your plan is built around your goals, experience, schedule, and challenges, with clear direction and adjustments as you progress. Accountability is at the heart of my approach. A plan only works when you consistently follow it, and my role is to help you do exactly that. We track your progress, address obstacles, and establish habits you can maintain through busy weeks and competing responsibilities. That consistent effort is what drives meaningful, lasting results. I’m a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and Corrective Exercise Specialist, with additional training in nutrition coaching, functional movement screening, and prenatal and postpartum fitness. I specialize in sustainable fat loss, building and preserving muscle, strength development, and improving mobility. You’ll understand what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and how it supports your goals. As a father of two with a demanding career, I understand the importance of making fitness work within your life. My goal is to give you the structure, support, and confidence to keep progressing. I offer personal training in Gaithersburg and Rockville, along with online coaching. Send me a message about your goals and what you need help with. Let’s discuss how we can move you forward.
