Reformation Fitness - Shaw

Small studio with small classes offering reformer Pilates. Instructors mix up the workouts so they’re always engaging. Convenient location and a community vibe.

I love all of the instructors doing group reformer classes. Everyone is talented in their own way and I always get an amazing workout. It's a bit of a distance from where I live and work, and parking (if I drive) can be stressful, but I keep going back b/c it's worth it. I feel comfortable and the instructors know my name which is really nice.

IMO, this is the best gym in DC. Love the energy of trainers and attendees here. The trainers are inspiring, professional, and attentive to each one’s posture and growth. They also have a supportive community where you feel welcomed even when you come here for the first time. I have been following their virtual classes but can’t wait to go back and take pilates classes when the summer ends.

Awesome classes. Every time I go, I know I’m going to get a great workout. Whether you’re a beginner or someone who has worked out for years and loves to be pushed, the instructors tailor the class to your intensity levels and needs. This is my favorite studio in DC.

My favorite gym in the district. Love the variety of classes & instructors. For the Metcon/HIIT classes, I love that each week is a different focus (power, strength, or endurance) and each day is either lower, upper, or full body. It's also easy to scale the workouts down or up based on your ability. I've always felt super welcome & comfortable here.

Amazing gym. Great #RefFitFam community. Other patrons are friendly, supportive and encouraging. Instructors are motivating without yelling at you, always helping you dig deeper and ask more of yourself. Programming is well structured and varied. This is not the type of gym to go to if you want to admire yourself in the mirror or find a date. Each class will ask 100% of you and you'll leave happy, exhausted and dripping with sweat.

I love reformation fitness! It's close to home so super convenient and has quickly become my go-to workout place - so much so that I purchase monthly packages so that I can go all the time and without the restriction of classpass. Everyone is super friendly, the instructors are professional and incredibility skilled at their craft. They do a fantastic job of pushing us outside of our comfort zones but always in a safe and controlled way. And I value that the instructors whose classes I got to regularly have made the effort to learn my name. I like that there is a nice mix of class options that I can choose from including: Spinning, TRX Fusion, MetCon, Bootcamps and Reformer Pilates, as well as classes offered at 7.30pm on a weekday evening. The Saturday Sweat sessions are my favorite and always set my weekend up right.All in all a very convenient place to workout, clean and modern equipment, friendly atmosphere and fantastic fitness instruction all in one.

The trainers know you by name and it feels like a community. Any issues with passes are resolved swiftly and effectively. Really awesome staff. I moved from around the corner from the gym to all the way out in Maryland and I will still gladly drive the 40 minutes to go to a class at Reformation Fitness any day.

Love the studio vibe, humble but refined atmosphere, group reformer class size, professionalism, and quality/precision of instruction. RF is unparalleled for group reformer classes. Not cheap, but reasonably priced for the area. Instructors and students occasionally engage in light, sparse conversation, which is fine. I've been to a few other studios where the instructors and students converse constantly, which i find distracting, isolating, and unprofessional. Not RF though :)

The workouts are always well thought out and challenging and the teachers are awesome. The studio has a great community feel and the prices are reasonable. My favorite workout studio in DC!

Rachel D is a natural, and I'd rush back to her class any day! The workout was tough (in a good way), but she brought a joviality and enthusiasm to her coaching style that helped me push through to the end. Would recommend her class to anyone.

I cannot recommend Reformation Fitness enough. My body has become stronger and leaner. Every one of the Pilates instructors is smart, kind, attentive. I always walk out of class feeling a little bit taller and healthier.

This was the best reformer class I've every been to. The small class size was wonderful and Virginia was great at explanations and making adjustments. The studio was also very clean and welcoming!

I come in for the group reformer classes and I love them. Mike really works the class and encourages us to work harder. The staff are all super responsive and I won't hesitate to recommend RF.

Mike is great! His pilates classes are challenging, he is aware of everyone’s injuries, and he suggests springs based on capability. I also love the class sizes and the studio is super clean!

Small class with an excellent instructor. Mike gave clear instructions, modifications for those with challenges (TKR) and gave specific praise and encouragement. It was the best reformer class I have ever taken!

Nice yoga space that they don't overcrowd by packing in too many reservation spots. Yoga instructor was wonderful - challenging but encouraging and led at a great pace.

The only thing stopping me from giving you guys a 10/10 is lack of showers. great workouts, helpful and friendly staff, good variety. Also I would highly recommend you install a hallway-corner mirror of sorts on the 200m running track, a car almost hit our group rounding the corner during MetCon, it's basically a blind turn.

Love Reformation Fitness. The conditioning classes really kick your butt but in a good way. And the instructors are always nice while kicking your butt. I highly recommend them!

This is an amazing place to workout. Each instructor I've had class from knows how to meet each, individual student where they are for whatever exercise is being cued through.
