About
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.

I’d been going back and forth with exercise for years, and I wanted to finally get consistent. TJ was easy to talk to, and I felt comfortable asking questions or telling him when something felt difficult. He explained the exercises clearly and helped me understand how to progress. The nutrition guidance felt manageable with my schedule, and the regular check-ins helped me follow through during busy weeks. Over time, I got stronger, my clothes started fitting better, and I felt more confident in the gym. What I appreciated most was learning how to keep going when motivation dipped. He takes your goals seriously and gives you the support and accountability to work toward them. I’m really glad I chose to train with him.

I lost 25 pounds and built muscle working with TJ, and my knees no longer hurt. Those changes have made a real difference in my life. He’s approachable, explains things clearly, and makes you feel comfortable asking questions while still challenging you to improve. Having a structured training plan, nutritional guidance, and someone holding me accountable helped me stay consistent. I appreciated his focus on building habits I could maintain and understanding what I needed to do to keep progressing. He takes your goals seriously, and you can tell he puts thought into your training. I’d recommend TJ to anyone who is ready to put in the work and wants a knowledgeable, supportive coach to help them make lasting changes.
