Medical Weight Loss Clinic Near Springfield, VA

BeLite Medical Center is a physician-supervised weight loss practice in the City of Fairfax, roughly 8 to 12 miles from Springfield depending on which end you start from. BeLite has been treating weight loss since 1995, and our Fairfax office has served patients from Springfield, West Springfield, North Springfield and across Northern Virginia since 1996. Your first consultation is free.

Where is BeLite in relation to Springfield?

We are at 3923 Blenheim Blvd, Suite 61A, Fairfax, VA 22030, just south of Fairfax Circle. Free parking is available at the office park. Springfield is a wide postal area, and the drive is noticeably shorter from the Old Keene Mill end than from the Town Center.

Driving from Springfield: From Springfield Town Center and the Franconia–Springfield area, take the Franconia–Springfield Parkway west to the Fairfax County Parkway and follow it north to Route 123 (Ox Road), then north on 123 as it becomes Chain Bridge Road through the City of Fairfax. Turn right onto Fairfax Boulevard (Route 50) east toward Fairfax Circle, then follow the signs onto Blenheim Boulevard south to 3923 Blenheim Boulevard, Suite 61A. From the West Springfield side — Rolling Road or Old Keene Mill Road — Braddock Road west to Route 123 north is shorter and skips the parkway altogether.

Estimated driving time: approximately 20 to 30 minutes from Springfield Town Center, and 15 to 20 minutes from West Springfield, depending on traffic.

By public transit: Springfield has both Metro and VRE at Franconia–Springfield, but neither runs toward us. The Blue Line heads north-east into Arlington and the District, so reaching our office by rail means riding in to a transfer and back out to Vienna/Fairfax–GMU on the Orange Line, then a bus or a short ride from there. Fairfax Connector serves Springfield but not this corridor directly. Our Springfield patients drive, and from the Old Keene Mill end the drive is a short one.

What does the program involve?

BeLite specializes in the pharmacotherapy of obesity: prescription medications that reduce hunger and cravings, combined with a nutrition plan, exercise guidance, and close medical supervision. Because these are serious medications, patients are seen by a medical practitioner at least every four to five weeks to monitor progress, check for side effects, and adjust treatment.

We treat people who are healthy and overweight as well as people with significant medical problems. There are no contracts. If you come for a consultation and decide not to enroll, you pay nothing.

Which medications does BeLite prescribe?

Depending on your medical history and goals, your practitioner may recommend:

• Zepbound (tirzepatide)
• Wegovy (semaglutide)
• Phentermine
• Oral GLP-1 medications: Foundayo (orforglipron) and the Wegovy pill

Selected medications can be dispensed at our on-site pharmacy, so some patients, if they choose to, can leave their appointment with their prescriptions in hand. See the full list on our medications page.

Also available at BeLite

Alongside weight management, BeLite offers Xeomin — an FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A injection that smooths frown lines, forehead lines and crow's feet. It is the same class of treatment as Botox, with comparable effectiveness and duration; BeLite chose Xeomin because its formulation contains only the active molecule, without the accessory proteins that may contribute to resistance over years of use. Treatments are given by a certified physician assistant or board-certified nurse practitioner. Results appear over three to seven days and last three to four months, with no downtime, and the consultation is free.

Who provides the care?

Appointments are with Board Certified Advanced Practice Nurse Practitioners who specialize in weight loss medications, under the supervision of our Medical Director, Richard Rothman, M.D., Ph.D. Dr. Rothman is a Board Certified Psychiatrist with a doctorate in pharmacology and extensive publications on the pharmacotherapy of obesity. Meet our medical providers.

Are appointments in person or virtual?

Your first visit is in person at our Fairfax office. We believe in-person care produces better results, and it is how we start every patient. Virtual follow-up visits may be offered to stable patients when approved by our Medical Director. Read why we favor in-person care.

What do patients say?

“I love having the monthly check-ins, the convenience of the on-site pharmacy, and the friendly staff.”

Eating, Walking and Training in Springfield

Two parts of the program happen between appointments: how you eat day to day, and how you move. Springfield covers a lot of ground, and the Old Keene Mill and Rolling Road side is a different drive from Springfield Town Center, so the list below spans both ends and gives the postal address for each so you can tell which one you are looking at. We have no affiliation with any of them.

Places to walk

Springfield walks in stream valleys. The Pohick and Accotink creeks both run through it and the county has threaded trail along them, which is good news for anyone starting out, because stream valley trail is flat. The catch is that these trailheads are easy to miss — gaps between residential streets rather than signposted park entrances — and more than one visitor has driven around for half an hour and given up. Put the address in your phone before you set off rather than after.

One absence worth explaining. Lake Accotink Park is Springfield’s best-known green space and it is deliberately not on this list. The lake was lowered for an evaluation of its dam, and the county’s study of whether to keep it — as a smaller lake than the one people remember — does not conclude until 2027. The loop around it is a local institution and the dam assessment found the structure serviceable, so this is not a warning to stay away. We would simply rather not send you to a lake and have you arrive to find it drained. Check the county park page for the state of the water before planning a walk around it.

• Pohick Stream Valley Trailhead, West Springfield, VA 22152 — about three miles out and back along the creek, with paved and unpaved options, wide paths and good shade. Open 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. This is the one walkers rate most highly and the one hardest to find; it is worth one failed attempt.
• Hidden Pond Nature Center, 8511 Greeley Blvd, West Springfield, VA 22152 — colour-coded trails and boardwalk around a pond, with a paved section near the car park that takes a stroller or a walker, and a playground beside it. This is also the car park you use to reach the Pohick Creek stream valley trail, which has no parking of its own. Note: the 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM hours listed online, and the Tuesday closure, belong to the nature centre building, not the park. The grounds are an ordinary county park. Call 703-451-9588 if you need the building open.
• Deerlick Park, 6746 Anders Terrace, Springfield, VA 22151 — a short, flat loop under heavy tree cover. That is the whole appeal: it is a ten-minute walk after dinner, not a workout, and it stays cool when the rest of Springfield does not. No restrooms and no water fountain, so take a bottle.

Eating out without starting over

Your plan is built around normal food in smaller quantities, not special meals. Springfield’s useful quality is that most of its good inexpensive food is built on grilled or roasted meat and broth rather than cream and cheese, which leaves portion size as more or less the only thing you have to think about.

• Village Chicken, 6228 Rolling Rd, Unit G, West Springfield, VA 22152 — village-style roasted chicken, served as platters, subs or bowls, with gyro and souvlaki on the same menu. Ask for the bowl: it puts the protein over salad or rice so you decide how much starch is in the meal. Cucumber salad and coleslaw are on the sides list. Closed Sundays, and the closest of these to our office.
• Le Bledo Eatery, 6416 Brandon Ave, Springfield, VA 22150 — Vietnamese, open from 8:00 AM, so it covers breakfast as well. Alongside the bánh mì there is a long list of broth soups — pho, bún bò hué, bún riêu — and vermicelli bowls. A bowl of pho is mostly broth, herbs and lean beef or chicken; ask for less noodle and what is left is a filling meal that is largely protein and water.

A category rather than a listing: the stretch of Commerce Street behind Springfield Plaza has several Peruvian rotisserie chicken counters within a few doors of one another, and a quarter or half chicken with the skin taken off, ordered with green beans and salad instead of fries, is one of the better fast meals available to someone on a plan. None are listed individually because none of them maintains its own website — only third-party ordering pages — and every business on these pages links to its own site. Walk the block and choose by the smell.

Gyms and studios

Strength training protects muscle while you lose weight, which is why we raise it with every patient. Springfield’s gym market runs to the two extremes — one very large 24-hour club at one end and one-to-one coaching at the other — with less in the middle than Burke or Alexandria. All three below suit someone who has not trained in a while, which is where most people start.

• PureGym Springfield, 6701 Frontier Dr, Springfield, VA 22150 — open 24 hours, seven days, with staff on site roughly 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM on weekdays. Cardio, free weights and a functional training area; the cheaper membership is single-gym and month to month, with classes on the dearer one. Several independent trainers also work out of this building, so if you would rather have one-to-one coaching inside a large gym than in a studio, ask at the desk who is taking clients.
• The Exercise Coach Springfield, 5501 Backlick Rd, Suite 205, Springfield, VA 22151 — twenty-minute coached sessions on computer-controlled resistance machines, by appointment, in a private studio rather than on a gym floor. Two free sessions to start. Open 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM on weekdays and until 1:00 PM on Saturdays. The short session and the fact that the machine sets the resistance rather than you make this an easy re-entry if it has been years. 703-650-5890.
• On The Go Fitness Pro, in-home across Springfield and West Springfield — the trainer comes to you and brings the equipment, which removes the part of the problem that is really about walking into a gym at all. Sessions run 50 to 55 minutes. Senior fitness and weight loss are both listed specialisms, and their reviews include clients in their eighties working on strength and balance. This is the only entry on any of these pages with no map link, deliberately: it is a mobile service run from a residential address, so there is nowhere to visit and a pin would only mislead.

Listings and links verified October 2026. Hours and offerings change; please confirm with the business before you go.

We also serve patients in Burke, Annandale and Lorton. See those pages for directions and hours.
