Urban Athletic Club

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!

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!

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.

Really enjoyed my time dropping into Urban Athletic Club while in DC! Beautiful facility, extremely organized with everything you could need, and friendly staff! The showers and towels were a nice bonus.

Very reasonable pricing, friendly owner, friendly trainers and classes, diversity of equipment, good showers, convenient access. Highly recommend

Great gym. Lots of flexibility. Great coaches. Great equipment. Highly recommend. Reasonably priced too!

Dropped in for open gym while visiting DC. Fantastic facility and nice people.

I was going to the Georgetown location for a couple of years or so and then I moved away and couldn't ever make it across town. So happy this location opened up! I love the Urban Athlete classes, they're a great full-body HIIT workout. It's great that they're different every time and the coaches are helpful and encouraging.

Great staff and coaching. Prices are reasonable and program is structured to educate members prior to cutting them loose into classes. Suggest coach Evie for personal training/intro sessions, she is great!

Great equipment, really fun atsmosphere every time I've gone there. The trainers are super engaged and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend taking advantage of their 'First Class Free' program (if it is still being offered) to see if it's something you'd be interested in.

Great little box with big box features and equipment. Exactly what I needed being out of town! Thanks CFShaw!

Dropped in while in town for a conference. Great coaching by Dani and Morgan. Clean, bright, well-equipped facility. Had a great time!

Best gym in the DMV. The equipment is top notch and instructions are very knowledgeable.Also, the club has the best at atmosphere...

Best strength and conditioning gym in DC! Owner Jay Morgan is an amazing coach and trainer!!

Not your run of the mill CrossFit gym. Exceptionally clean. Equipped with superb quality Rogue equipment. Group classes and personal training for all levels of athletes

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

Incredibly helpful, thorough, and accommodating staff. Thoughtful, mindful, and kicka** programming! Thanks team!

Great people, great experience and good facilities

This is a next level type of workout. Space is incredible and coaches are amazing.
