Fitness & Gyms near Fort Belvoir, VA

“We have been using this location to rehearse for about a year. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating. They put up with out loud music. Having access to a locker room is great as well. During the spring we go outside and grill on breaks.”

“Jake is great ! I love his strength class.

Unreal! 7223meters in Brian’s full row today . I’ve never rowed 7000+meters. It’s Brian’s coaching . I keep improving.

Brian is a professional sharing his passion, expertise and coaching skills. As a result I perform my best in his classes and keep improving. So thankful for Brian at row house.

I love watching Sophia grow as an instructor. I watched her perfect rhythm and form grow while she sat in the front row next to coach Brian. Then I discovered she was studying to become a coach. Yay! We all need mentors!

I LOVE Brian’s coaching!! I do love all the coaches but somehow I do my best with Brian.

Brian is the best! His cues, music, coaching, and love of rowing is inspiring.
I always excel in his classes.

Jake is fantastic! I love his strength class.

Brian is GREAT!! Love his coaching.

Brian is the greatest coach

He’s great

Peter is great! I’m glad I had an opportunity to take his classes. I will certainly take more.”

“Excellent gym supported by motivating and engaging coaches. Great variety of class times and class focused (weight focused, cardio focused, hybrid). Highly recommend!”

“I joined Hodges Fitness back in August of 2022. It’s an honor to continue to be a member of this amazing community. I have so much love for all my Hodges Fitness coaches. If it wasn’t for them, I would not be in the amazing headspace that I am right now. I’ve learned how to stay consistent with an active lifestyle and have gained strength and confidence while still on my journey to become a healthier and happier human being. Their workouts change every month which I appreciate so much because the hard work all the coaches put into play while creating these one-of-a-kind workouts shows the dedication and love they have for all the members. Not to mention the Affirmations they have at the end of each class is the best way to start or end your day. I will always highly recommend for anyone to show up for their self and give it a try.”

“Been going to MADabolic for several months now and really enjoy it compared to a "regular" gym, where I was getting bored of my same old routine. The classes challenge me in a good way and the staff are always friendly and supportive!”

“All of the coaches and management consistently go above and beyond expectations. I’m so lucky that I found Invictus. Recommended for both newbies and serious athletes alike. What a find!”

“Have really loved MVMT so far!! One of the biggest things is that every instructor greets me by name. I had gone to a gym for 6 months and had to introduce myself almost every class; it’s not like that at MVMT. Plus, the 45 mins are packed with sweaty, fun, challenging movements that keep me feeling good all day. Overall a great gym with inclusive vibes. Highly recommend, especially if new to the area.”

“I just loved how cool stepping into the F45 gym felt. When you walk in your right inside the gym. Everything is well organized and the lighting and colors are on point. There are towels available for your workout. The instructor early Thursday morning 4/18 was so nice and welcoming. She did a great job demonstrating each move and checking on everyone’s form consistently. I was able to get my 45 minutes in, take a shower (with tons of supplies) and walk out ready to start my shift at work.”

“I was hesitant to try out a workout class but decided to take advantage of the free week trial. With just 2 classes I was hooked! I started at E60 after having a baby and wanted to rebuild strength. I have been taking classes 2-3x/week for 4 months and feel stronger than I've ever been! I love the class structure - it's great to go to a workout where I don't have to think or plan because it's all done for me. It feels like a fun group setting where you have your own personal trainer and can go at your own pace and weight. These classes are the fastest hour of my day!”

“The staff at F45 Shirlington is great! Very friendly and informative. They always greet you by name with a smile on their face (even at 5:30 in the morning). Love the intensity and variations of the workouts, and the ease of scheduling sessions online.”

“Always making updates, whether it be updating the posing room, changing the floor, cleaning equipment, or putting out one of one machines. Friendly staff and owner, great environment, with 24hours access for members in any of the three sections: powerlifting lab, leg lab, upper body/back/cable and cardio area. One main entrance for three sections.”

“D1 has been a perfect gym for me! Its small size and small class size makes everyone feel welcome. The class schedule is convenient to be able to fit in a workout around work/life demands. Starting as a beginner, the coaches were great at working with me on form and modifications. The workout programming keeps the classes interesting and you are able to build skills and your strength. I’ve never been stronger! The best part of D1 is the community. Everyone is so friendly and encouraging. If you want the feel of personal training in a small group environment, this gym is a great fit for you.”

“Excellent experience from start to end. Gym is clean, air is refreshing. Staff is awesome.Update Months Later: Experience seen first visits hasn't changed. This gym, Pure Fitness, continues excellence in what is sought. What sets it apart from other gyms is the staff, impressive and available.”

“This is one of the best Orange Theory Fitness studios. If not the best. Especially studio manager, Maral. She is a little buff lady that will go above and beyond for your experience at the lake.”

“When I came to Foundation Fitness it was the first time I had ever walked into a gym. The twice weekly sessions have been terrific. Ester is so very good at what she does. She is very focused on form and provides excellent feedback to be sure I am doing the exercises correctly and getting the most out of them. Ester is encouraging and positive and just a pleasant person to be around. There are never more than a few people training at any given time and everyone is very friendly. CJ (owner) is very responsive if you ever need anything. I am so grateful to have found this gym and to have been connected with Ester.”

“I love it ! Is the only place that I can go to workout! The trainers are the best, they are so friendly and they help you a lot! Is a good environment. I will choose a hundred times that place.”

“I was having a lot of issues with my back, I had them help me moving easier with less pain in my lower back, they worked with me, helping in my movements, and teaching me things that have helped immensely,, lowering my pain level. If your having back issues and have had physical therapy, and still having problems, come knock on there door, They are awesome!”

“Absolutely love being a member of Underground Athlete. My only regret is how long it took me to find this incredible community. Thank you Justin and team for all you do!!”

“I am a bit delayed with this review, but I still wanted to share my positive experience back from the middle of 2023; when I was traveling through the area for work for the week and was allowed the opportunity to do a trial week between both this 9 Rounds - Springfield location and their recently opened Alexandria location. Now, I am not new to the brand, as our gym near my area in NJ had closed during the pandemic which is very sorrowfully missed. And, in honesty, was such a great workout, and I'll continue to always think of and look for 9 Rounds when I'm in any area.Now, back to Springfield, that I'll share that this 9 Rounds will meet all of your expectations with the heart and soul that I feel like 9 Rounds likes to convey; along with the moral of our story -- a great workout (where you have fun and feel supported). And, I was happy I was able to get the same feel that we have missed in NJ. I would go in the early morning prior to work, and at the time was guided through the professionalism, knowledge, and friendliness of the trainers at the time: Ina, Ina, Chase, Tory, and Zach. And, that's no mistake there were two Ina's at that time, and they were both great. You go through the 9 Rounds workouts, at almost any interval of time you walk into the gym to get in your workout. And, the workout is about 30 minutes. This is perfect for the type of person who comes in from directly at opening, to 5 minutes after opening, to 15 minutes after any of your usual times. And, you wouldn't have missed a beat or felt like you missed anything depending if you came a little earlier to later than your usual time. The workouts are guided by screens and the trainers. You get to start your workout at any time of those intervals based upon how 9 Rounds continuously has a new start for each round. And, usually 1 to 2 people can start each round at a time. But, even if not within the same round, you and any friend could always be next to each other just one-round apart. You have different stations that usually relate in some way to boxing and/or general strengthening exercises. There are certain timed workout intermissions; and, opportunities for 1:1 training with the mitts during the entire experience. And, each day is relatively new and different. So, it's always fun and exciting. And, you feel like the challenging exercise passed by in a flash. You're able to use their gloves when not in ownership of your own, as well. And, if needed/wanted, they have their gloves for purchase (which, I had tried the latest version, and has really great padding and excellent weight) to really get in that sweat. And, although, I didn't really use this during my trial this time, but they also have a great heart rate tracking system, which can display on the screens to track yourself, which you wear around your person. For those who don't know, those who wear exercise tracking watches like Fitbit or a Google watches, etc., aren't really able to wear those through any boxing-related workouts, because of the gloves you wear and the easy chance for damaging your watch. Their tracking systems are excellent from my experience and those of the other members who I spoke to. I believe if you want, you could buy your own that would quickly register you in their system, to making coming and going even easier.Anything else helpful:They have a restroom that you could utilize, and an area for your things, as you quickly go-in and go. They've all been very welcoming there. I interacted with their co-owner there at the time Zach, who was very very nice, who I had also interacted with on the phone when inquiring. And, they have ample parking, as you can see in photos. They're off the highway, so easily to add into your commute. And, I think that's it. Definitely give them a try if you were already considering it. I think you'd be as hooked as I was, so you can get in your great workout and then move-on with your day feeling that bit much better. Thanks!”

“I've been a dedicated member of F45 Training Pentagon Row for years, and it's been an absolute game-changer for me! The focus on functional fitness has really helped me level up in my fitness journey. What I love most about this studio is the attention to detail and the friendly atmosphere. Having visited several F45 studios nationwide, I can confidently say that Pentagon Row stands out from the rest. It's those little touches, like personalized motivation and a tight-knit community, that make every workout here feel like a win. If you're looking for a welcoming place to crush your fitness goals, F45 Pentagon Row is the spot to be!”

“I started going to F45 Old Town through ClassPass. I loved it so much, I became a member! This place is great for anyone new to fitness and fitness enthusiasts. The workouts are challenging and the coaches are really friendly. It's nice to go to a gym where the coaches are attentive and pushes you to be a better you. Can't wait to see how my body transforms with F45.”

“Great place to guarantee a full blown workout. I walk out dripping in sweat Everytime. The coaches are fantastic and can each offer something different. Your first class is free with everything prepared for you such as gloves and welcome signs. They have different classes through out the day, the last being 645 which comes in handy if you work late like I do! The best thing I’ve gotten out of Mayweather boxing and fitness is confidence I can’t get in the gym by myself. I have trouble pushing myself when I go to a big gym, here it’s a smaller group of non stop motivation. It is a little pricey but they have different kinds of memberships and it is a private boxing gym!”

“This place is amazing. I was having back pain for months, I worked with two different doctors who simply prescribed me pain killers, muscle relaxers. None of it solved the problem. Finally I discovered Evolve to Fit, and almost immediately I made progress on my back. Within a few weeks I was nearly 100% better. I have learned a lot about my body, and how to better take care of myself. These people know what they are doing and they will help you!”

“CrossFit Alepou is outstanding! Coach Kelley’s personalized guidance and the supportive community make every workout effective and enjoyable. For an inspiring coach and a great environment, CrossFit Alepou is unbeatable.”

“Brazen was a second home to me. I came to them with very little experience working out, and left with a lifetime of knowledge. All of the staff is amazing, friendly, knowledgeable, and inclusive. I’m going to miss this gym so much! If I wasn’t moving, I’d never leave.”

“I started working out at SuperPHIT about 6 weeks ago and it’s been what I have been looking for; self pace workout but also challenging enough to see results. I’ve already lost 7 pounds. If you are looking to get healthy, toned and fit, SuperPHIT is the place for you. Great coaches Rob and Chacai, will be with you every step of the way. Come see for yourself and stay for the workout, you will not be disappointed.”

“I love OTF Bradlee! I recently joined after a 3+ year pandemic-induced hiatus during which I got lazy and out of shape. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to keep up in class or stick with it. But everyone at OTF Bradlee is so welcoming, friendly and supportive I never felt like the weak link. The sense of community keeps me motivated and coming back to class at least four times a week. I’m so happy I joined at this studio.”

“There are lots of CrossFit Gyms in the Northern Virginia area. What makes Sand and Steel stand out above others is the coaching and care they provide to the members. They just don't throw you in to workouts and expect you to figure things out.Instead, Paul, Dawn, and the rest of the coaching staff take their time to make sure you scale appropriately. The coaches make sure you work on mobility and nutrition, along with your workout. In my case, I have had a series of prior injuries, and moreover, I had consistent cramping and dehydration problems during workouts. No matter what supplements I took or how much water I drank, I would get light-headed, and my muscles would cramp. In short, my body simply refused to hold water. For years, I thought there was something medically wrong with me.Paul recommended a great supplement as a pre-workout, and then the cramping was gone. Like Magic. Now, my conditioning, strength, and overall performance greatly improved.So, like I said before... coaching makes a huge difference. This gym comes highly recommended.”

“Cara, thank you thank you!! What a great experience. Very friendly and inviting environment and great for beginners and advanced lifters. Something for everyone, plenty of space and great coaching with immediate results! Very clean and neat layout, can’t wait to go back!”

“Katie, Danielle and Anjii are wonderful. Our My Gym classes are the highlight of our week. Every class has new and exciting things for the little ones to do. The teachers are so patient and welcoming. My son loves to go and is learning how to interact with teachers and other children in a class setting. I highly recommend My Gym Alexandria for parents with young children.”
