Urban Athletic Club

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 Im 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 Mikes commitment, professionalism and dedication, it has made a world of difference in my healing. I am encouraged to keep moving forward. I cant 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! Id give it 6 stars if I could! Its 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 Ive 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 Im not doing CrossFit, at least right now, but rather Im 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. Its 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 youd hope to maybe meet new friends in DC, and this is a great place to do it, esp if youre new to the DC area. I hope you consider UAC. Im glad I got over my initial reticence bc it opened me up to a whole new community of great people.
