Did a drop in. Nice gym. Mike the trainer/coach is great. Lots of equipment (rowers airbikes kettlebells pull-up rig Olympic bars etc). Clean gym too. Would recommend and go back next time I’m in town.

I joined Urban Athletic Club four months ago and in just 120 days I feel stronger and more confident. I started this journey after a significant life event and due to my trainer Mike’s commitment, professionalism and dedication, it has made a world of difference in my healing. I am encouraged to keep moving forward. I can’t wait to see what the next 4 months will bring but I do know the best is yet to come because of UAC!

Very good gym with excellent facilities. The teachers are very trained and really care about the well-being of the students and are attentive to their constant evolution.

I just joined the Urban Athletics Club and I am very happy I did! I’d give it 6 stars if I could!It’s a gem among gyms in DC, especially for those looking for encouragement, camaraderie, focus on health improvement, and teamwork.TBH, I was initially reticent to join since I’ve only worked out with home workouts, regular gyms, or apartment building gyms.I was reticent because I thought UAC was only a “CrossFit type” gym and thought it could be overly intense and cliquish.I was utterly and happily wrong.I say this because I’m not doing CrossFit, at least right now, but rather I’m following my own workout program to get into a modicum of shape. CrossFit maybe later. Lol.To that end, UAC has an excellent “Open Gym” option, which is very reasonably priced.With “Open Gym,” I can go there from dawn to late night to workout, subject to minimal periods when CrossFit classes are held - and even then - the chill vibe and friendly team there usually will let you do your own workout at the same time. It’s motivating to see the focus on fitness in everyone there.The owner, Graham, goes out of his way to make people, esp newcomers, feel welcome. He is very passionate about health improvement and fitness.The folks at UAC are very friendly and encouraging. We even had a holiday party at the gym this past weekend, where I thoroughly enjoyed talking to many of the other folks - without being out breath with ear buds in. Lol.I learned that the folks here have very interesting backgrounds outside the gym. This additional benefit is really important bc you’d hope to maybe meet new friends in DC, and this is a great place to do it, esp if you’re new to the DC area.I hope you consider UAC. I’m glad I got over my initial reticence bc it opened me up to a whole new community of great people.

I was looking for a new Crossfit Box in DC, recently left another for their terrible service. This one is super well organized, great customer service, people are very welcoming and from all levels of experience. I decided to stay here for a while, seems like the best option for me.

I flew into DC for a week and was looking for a place to train. I contacted the Urban Athletic Club. They were extremely responsive and professional. They worked a deal for the week and gave me a code to train whenever I was able. I was in the gym every single day of my trip. It is empty or only a few clients 90% of the time. It's a dungeon where you can train the way you want. It's freaking fantastic. 8 squat racks plus all the Rogue bars you could imagine. Just look at the pictures... Drop your gym, join the Urban Athletic Club!

The best place in DC is to train with level method or just drop in.

Dropped in here while out of town. It’s a decent facility and my coach was positive and encouraging. Unfortunately, that’s where the good ends. There was no whiteboard briefing and the class felt disorganized. We were doing front squats and the coach kept encouraging me to do more weight. I was at 80% of my 1RM for 5 reps and when I told him I was about where I wanted to be he suggested I put on a belt. Then during the workout he kept “chirping” at me each time I would break. I’m an experienced CrossFiter and know how to keep myself safe, but these things bothered me on principle. That said the coach was super positive and encouraging. Someone just needs to tell him this isn’t CrossFit in 2008.

(Translated by Google) It is very welcoming, the trainers are very attentive, they explain very well and there is always space to train with many alternatives, whether it is just crossfit or gym environment 10 for me.(Original)Es muy acogedor los entrenadores son muy atentos te explican muy bien y siempre hay espacio para entrenar con muchas alternativas ya sea solo crosfit o gym ambiente 10 para mi.
