POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

If you’re new here (or if you’ve been with us for a while) here’s a quick reintroduction.

Hi, we’re OTB Strength 👋

We’re a small, family-run gym in Rockville, Maryland, dedicated to teaching proper strength training to athletes of all ages and experience levels.

At OTB, we believe strength training should be accessible, purposeful, and grounded in respect for the individual.

We proudly support veterans, active-duty service members, and adaptive athletes in a training environment that prioritizes safety, technique, and long-term health.

Coach and owner LJ Belsito is a retired Captain in the U.S. Public Health Service, a registered nurse, and a competitive strength athlete. LJ’s approach to coaching reflects both medical expertise and firsthand experience working with individuals recovering from injury or training with adaptive needs.

Training at OTB Strength is about building capability, confidence, and resilience at your pace, with the right support.

Strength for every body 💪

Coach LJ working with Cynthia on assisted sit-to-stands with a 5lb weight.

This is the movement that keeps you getting out of a chair, off the floor, and living independently for years to come.

Progress doesn’t happen fast, but the commitment, showing up, and being consistent will pay off.

Commitment to your independence is the real strength. Showing up to create a better version of you—no matter age, ability, or gender!

Mobility matters 🧘

Chris Kostaras was back last weekend leading hip mobility, flexibility, and pelvic floor work with our athletes. Before the weight moves, the body has to move well first.

This is the quiet, foundational work that keeps you training for the long haul 💪

11 years of meeting people where they are.

Hundreds of veterans and adaptive athletes coached. Confidence rebuilt. Community made.

No ego. Just consistency, capability, and resilience.

Thank you for all of your support. Let’s keep building 💪
