Definition of Fitness

I’ve been working out here since they opened and absolutely love it! Fatima motivates me like no other trainer has ever done, and helped me get to a stage where consistency in my workouts comes naturally. David is always cheerful and attentive to all clients in his classes, to a point that it gives me the feeling of a one on one session. Highly recommend this place!

I’m not an athlete, nor athletic (yet!) but keep coming back to Definition of Fitness for Fatima's classes and personal training. Over these past 4 months, Fatima has been an incredible coach/mentor and has given me the confidence (and education) to feel like I belong in the gym and can be successful. She has created the most inclusive fitness community I’ve found in DC- you’ll find all ages, cultures, bodies, and backgrounds - and they welcome you each class and make you feel part of her group. A huge thank you to Fatima and the Definition of Fitness family for the work they do.

The best gym in DC--the one stop shop for your fitness goals. The trainers are extremely kind, down-to-earth fitness authorities. The programs are engaging and accessible. There is no corporate fluff or stuffy gym culture at this community-driven small business. Thank you, David et al. for bringing your light and talents to the DC area. It's a joy to support this business.

The gym is amazing! I lived in a lot of cities and tried out a number of gyms in DC. This is the best. All the trainers are very helpful, kind, and elevate you to another level. Every class or private training session is fantastic. The App is super easy to use, bill, and book classes. The owner David is awesome running the business, but also providing sound 1x1 training and leading great classes. Truly a gym that is great for everyone!

I’m usually not a big fan on going to the gym but ever since I started coming to Definition of Fitness that has change completely! I enjoy coming to this gym, all of the equipments and amenities accommodates everyone there that come to work out/train. I also have the best fitness instructor EVER!!! Her name is Fatima but Tima for short, she’s literally the definition of fitness and consistency!! She will make sure to get you to your goals in the healthiest way possible! Overall I love it here!!

DOF is awesome! Such a fantastic facility for strength training with amazing people all around. Fatima is an incredible, dedicated trainer. She guides and inspires, pushing me to work harder to achieve my fitness goals while ensuring correct form. She prioritizes stretching and mobility to prevent injuries, and always provides a balanced workout. She is also just all around cool, with a fun personality that makes working out like hanging out with a (really strong) friend!

Katie is a trainer that truly embodies how special this gym is! She pushes clients to reach their full potential, makes goals feel accessible, and remains encouraging through the whole process. I highly recommend training with her – it's fun, challenging, and immensely rewarding.

I’ve been personal training with Fatima for the last four months, and it’s been such a game changer for me. She’s helped me rebuild my confidence in the gym and build strength while toning up. The workouts are diverse and challenging, and she brings so much energy and encouragement to every session. The icing on the cake is that she’s built a wonderful community of women at DOF, I truly look forward to seeing friends I’ve made while working out here. 💪💜

Phenomenal trainers. David is an incredible guy, encouraging, inspiring, and an absolute god of fitness. This is a great gym for novices, and veterans alike who are looking to continue to challenge themselves and reach new personal heights. I would strongly recommend Definition of Fitness in D.C!

The entire staff, and culture of the gym is incredible.

Never considered weightlifting or thought it would ever become my thing until I started coming to DOF. The staff at this gym are amazing!!. David the owner and a beast of a trainer, curated an amazing staff of talented fitness professionals. Fatima coaches a semi private strength and conditioning class which I never miss. Her classes are challenging and always rewarding! I have learned a lot from her about form and about the importance of that extra 5lbs that always seem to get added #youcandout. Shout out to Corbin (who’s class I can’t wait to take) is always in the background giving such genuine motivation as you are working out. Thank you David for having a space (gym) like this in DC!

Called ahead saying I would be in town and looking for something more serious than the hotel gym. David immediately told me I’d be welcome and how his gym worked. Was able to schedule a training session with Fatima first thing in the morning and she was great. Highly recommend for any fitness level as long as you’re serious about putting in the work. Will definitely go back when I’m in town.

Im so glad that I stepped outside of my comfort zone and checked out Definition of Fitness and Fatima's classes. From the first class I was hooked and have been coming consistently for 9 months. The space is great and the entire DOF team is amazing - they know what they are doing and take the time pay attention / get to know each and every person that comes into the space. They are creating an strong, inclusive fitness community in the area.

Can’t say enough good things about Corbin’s Small Group Training class! He creates an environment that allows each attendee to focus on their unique fitness journey, but also encourage each other to push themselves a little further each class. If you’re looking for a way to stay in shape and build community, you’ve found it!

I haven’t worked with a trainer in awhile, but Corbin met me at my level while still challenging me. The facility is also great for people who don’t like the chaos of big gyms.

My trainer, Katie, is always pushing me, helping me to improve my form, and adjusting my workout plans to meet my needs. This is a gym I look forward to visiting.

If you aren’t training here… why? Can’t recommend them enough!! Everyone is so welcoming and it’s a safe space to train! Training with Katie makes me excited to come to the gym in the morning!

Great trainers who are super knowledgeable and always create a positive and motivating environment. I’d recommend their small group classes and personal training to anyone!!
