One year in, and I'm glad I chose CFDC as my gym. With two locations and plenty of class times to choose from, it's easy to make fitness a priority with any schedule. read more

I was a drop in on Saturday's 8 am class. The instructor, Oman, was great. Great class, great facility and fun group of people. Highly recommend. Frank c read more

This place is great! I dropped in here while visiting and have never been to a more open, friendly and welcoming gym. I was immediately greeted and introduced to everyone. It's easy to feel like an outsider especially when dropping in but this place does the opposite! I will 100% make this my spot when I'm in town for work. read more

I've been to two Crossfit gyms in DC (Capitol Hill Crossit- which is now closed- and here). There's pros and cons to both. Crossfit DC Northeast is a very nice Crossfit gym. It is one big open room with top equipment and plenty of space for a large class to do the workouts. They offer a variety of classes from straight up Crossfit to Crossfit Proven, a more cardio and strength building workout. The staff is very friendly and helpful and they are experts in what they do. It's centrally located on H Street and easy to get to if you live in the area. The only thing to note is that classes are larger so if you're shy, you'll need to really work hard to convince yourself to show up the first time. Don't be intimidated. People are nice here! It's also slightly higher than my old gym, which is why I do Crossfit Proven around $150 a month for a 6-month commitment. Enjoy and happy work out! read more

I have been to a few CrossFit boxes in different cities and have to say that I am glad CFDC northeast is my home gym. Let's face it, we all want to live healthier lifestyles and be apart of #fitfam but sometimes not having the right gym can make consistency seem impossible. The members and the coaches at the H street location will make you feel like you've been adopted into an extremely athletic and motivating family. No matter where you are in your fitness journey, you will feel welcomed and supported here. Something I've noticed some boxes lack are coaches that are able to give individualized advice, strategy and coaching tips. What works for one person may not work for another, and the coaches at H street are experts at this. S/O to coach Christina who is not only my #fitnessinspo, but has also given me tips/advice I had not received at my previous gym that have helped me tremendously along the way. She never judges or makes you feel like an idiot, even when you're doing something 100% wrong (Speaking from experience). Also, S/O Coach Steve whose playlists made 6am classes actually fun. I should also add that Steve is the reason I started Rx'ing WOD's and now I'm stuck here and can't go back because his silent judgment, while well intentioned, is deafening. Believe the hype. If you are already enrolled at a CF gym, leave and come here. If you're not, this is absolutely the best time and place to get started if you're looking for a fitness community that will push you, hold you accountable and make you give your best every class. read more

Today I had the pleasure of dropping in at CrossFit DC while visiting DC for a girls weekend. Amon was a fantastic coach and everyone was very welcoming. The facility and equipment was very clean. read more

I absolutely love this place. I started out looking for somewhere to go for fitness. I was a member of a normal big box gym and it wasn't working for me. I was very bored. I found CrossFit DC bc of a brunch with friends. They environment is very cool. You don't feel out of place, or lost. The coaches are always around to help with any movements or skills you don't understand. They help you get settled in fast. They offer open gym, classes, mobility, boot camp etc. This all varies according to what package you sign up for. They make it flexible for folks with a busy schedule. So, if you travel you can sign up for certain amount of classes. If you are available all time, you can sign up for the bigger package... They also are a Territory Food drop off point, for those that are members of that program. FOR PEOPLE NEW TO CROSSFIT Attend the free class first. Then sign up for elements, if you choose to continue. read more

Ever walk into a gym and feel out of place? Ever workout and not feel like you're improving? Want a place where you can be yourself and increase your health? If you answered yes to the three questions above, CrossFit DC is for you. Context: I've been doing CrossFit for close to 10 years and 2 of them at CrossFit DC's H. Street location. I use to train at Rubicon in VA and a few other gyms. I don't consider myself to be super fit but I try and live an active lifestyle working out 4-5x a week. tl;dr What I despise most about CrossFit is the culture I first witnessed when I started 10 years ago. I've never felt like it was for me but I loved the challenge of the workout bc it's just that, challenging. I mean, who's going to do 100 burpees on their own? Here's where the culture sucks... I once walked into a CrossFit box in Arlington, walked in for 5 min waiting for someone to take my money, and every shirtless bro ignored me. Not cool, no thanks and we weren't made for each other. CrossFit DC is the ideal place for the following reasons: * The programming is great. I get a mix of lifting and metcon WODs that are challenging. There's a weekly preview to let you know what's going on so you can plan your week ahead of time. * Don't like CrossFit, there's boot camp that's just (if not more) challenging without all the heavy lifting. * Flexible schedules. With a full-time demanding job, family, etc. life can get complicated but there at 8-11 (excluding elements) weekday classes per day and two of which are for "open gym". If I can't find a time to go, it's generally my fault. I'm usually a 6/7am WOD but if I'm sleeping in and want to go at 8, open gym is there for me. If I'm running slightly late for the 6am WOD, I'll just do the 6:30am bootcamp class. This is perfect for me. * The culture is genuine, sincere, and all about community. Coaches support you during the WOD to make sure you're not going to hurt yourself. And after the WOD everyone seems to make some time to get to know one another. You come as you are and with every spectrum there are two sides. You can be an athlete looking to compete or someone who's struggling and needs motivation looking for that nudge. Attend any WOD and you'll feel this. (Personally, this is one of the most important to me. I don't want to be at a place that talks the talk but the interactions are lacking. The historic Gallaudet University is in the neighborhood and there are deaf atheletes working out along side you. Old City CrossFit has a similar situation and the instructors have picked up ASL - mad props to them!) WODs are more about competing against yourself than the person next to you. No one writes down their scores on the whiteboard - it doesn't matter. The only thing people write on the white boards are monthly PRs. * Coaches are also pretty great. Each has their way of interacting with you but first things first, warmup and WOD. Throughout the class, they engage with each member and get to know you on a personal level. They ask me about my wife, kids, etc. I don't have much time to attend the social events but I appreciate the offerings but even better is that I don't attend these yet people the coaches know my family, dogs, etc. If you're still reading, go see Tom, Tess, Steve, Peter, Emily, Nora, Tyler, Lance, Gwen, Chris, and the rest of the coaches. These people in particular have made a difference on my fitness and I'm sure they'll impact you in a positive manner whether you're at U. St. or H. St locations. read more

Huge facility with essential and niche equipment: rowers, ski ergs, assault bikes, sandbags, sleds, rig, ropes, 20+ bars, kettlebells, dumbbells, bumper plates, oly plates, GHD, foam rollers, ab mats etc. Great coaching is what really makes this place special, as they have the most attentive coaches that give productive feedback and cues. Often (on the weekends) they will even have two coaches in tandem providing even better oversight and feedback. Programming is well constructed and thought out months in advance, unlike other boxes where it is random WODS pulled from CompTrain or the CF main site. FYI drop-ins get a free shirt!!!! read more

Let me start by saying I had NO CLUE what Crossfit was 2 months ago!!! I recently moved to the Trinidad area and noticed a gym had opened on H St. I had been looking to regain a fitness routine. I find running with the dog to be a miserable experience for both me and Wilson. I cannot say enough about what Tom, Chris, and the staff at Crossfit DC are doing. They are extremely patient and detailed with technique. It's their belief (law) that with perfect technique, you WILL move more weight. I have made significant gains in the last 8 weeks. Before: Pull Ups 0 8 Weeks Later: Pull Ups 8 Rounds of 6 Pull Up w/out assistance. As someone who has always been inconsistent with fitness, I have found a group of amazing coaches, culture and community. If you are in the DC area drop in and check out what Crossfit DC is all about. DC Crossfit is PROVEN!!! read more

After trying out several other Crossfit gyms I finally landed at Crossfit DC. The camaraderie I feel every time I take a class is hard to match in ANY gym. The coaches are attentive without seeming unapproachable and the attention to detail, especially regarding safety, exceeds expectations. I have found my Crossfit home in DC and will be here as long as they are. read more

I took the Saturday bootcamp. One of the best workouts I have had in a long time. Great work out. Will push you beyond your limit and will definitely be sore for days. Will definitely be back. read more

Spent a couple of months going here during a summer internship. Has easily been the most productive couple of months in my fitness career in terms of muscle, technique, and education. Can honestly say I was excited to go every day and I always left the gym feeling great. The coaches are all really knowledgeable and happy to help. They're always generous with their time and tips, in class and during open gym hours. Great environment and an incredible community. Appropriate for all levels of fitness - you're encouraged to push your boundaries but not unnecessarily pressured into doing things you're uncomfortable or don't feel safe doing. There's classes at plenty of different times of the day, and equipment for doing any kind of workout you could want, and it's well kept. Thank you for a great summer Crossfit DC! read more

I went to CrossfitDC for the free intoductory class. The instructor was friendly and informative. We did a workout at the end that was the sweatiest 5 minutes of my life. It was awesome! What I really enjoyed was that there was no talk of membership rates, packages and no high pressure to join. If you're thinking about trying crossfit, check this place out. read more

I have nothing but positive things to say about CrossFit DC on H Street. I started there about a year and a half ago with little knowledge of crossfit and the coaches there were very helpful in teaching the techniques and philosophy. In each class they push you hard, but in a positive and supportive way. The coaches and other participants are always open to answering questions and offering guidance to make it a valuable and fun experience. I am soon moving to a different part of town so I am bummed I won't be able to attend on a regular basis anymore but I would encourage anyone with interest in crossfit to definitely check out this location. read more

Went to this place and tried their FREE intro class. It was slow but I got a good sweat in. They were somewhat unorganized. I didn't get any solid info regarding prices or packages for fitness plans. Overall, the head trainer seemed knowledgeable. It was a good intro class. read more

Dropped in on a Friday lunch class and it was great... Will definitely return when in town.

CrossFit DC NE is an awesome space with unsurpassed coaching, well-thought out programming and an incredible community. I've been a member for four years and there are plenty of members that have been here even longer than me! I enjoy the positive atmosphere, and challenging workouts. read more

I've been with Crossfit DC for almost a year now and working out at their 14th St. NW location. But I'm thrilled that they've opened up this second location, closer to my home. This box is amazing - open and bright! The coaches are awesome, too. Tom and Chris are supportive and welcoming to everyone, which is reflected in the type of people who attend classes. It's a positive atmosphere where you can't help but enjoy working out and its keeps you coming back for more! For anyone out there looking for a quality Crossfit box, search no more - because this is the place for you!! read more

I have a been a member here for 1 year, and it is my home away from home! I have been a member at 3 other gyms throughout the years, and CFDC is the best! The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and approachable. The programming is smart and efficient with a bigger focus on mobility and accessory work than other gyms I have been to. Within my first couple months at CFDC after switching from another gym which I had been a member for almost 3 years, my strength and conditioning increased dramatically. Plus, the people and atmosphere are welcoming and friendly! read more

have never been part of a gym that puts the safety of an individual over them making money. This is the case this location and gym. I have seen several favorable reviews of this gym so I'm unaware of why i was treated the way I was. Discrimination or otherwise I was not treated in a way that I think put my well being and showed any respect to the money I paid to have this experience. This may be the most predatory and maligned gym I've ever had the displeasure of being around in my life.I originally signed up for four individual coaching sessions and four classes. My coaching classes we not done on an individual basis. Instead it was done with another member. I was under the impression I was paying for an individual session. I have only done three of these classes thus far. In addition my last individual class was scheduled on the day when we had a freak ice storm. My safety is paramount and I physically without risking my life, couldn't have made it in for my scheduled session. My last scheduled trying session was schedules fourteen hours before the in time. I called an Hour before and contacted via email that I could not make it because of my lower back being injured. I was promptly informed that i would be charged a 95.00 cancellation fee because I have to cancel 24 hours before the scheduled appointment time. I am unaware of the process of how to turn back time. How am I supposed to cancel 24 hours ahead of time when the class was booked for my only true individual session I would have ever gotten, when it was scheduled 14 hours before I had to be there. Not to mention the exorbitant rate I paid to attend calluses there, of which I only attended three classes. To date i have attended three supposedly individual sessions with Tess, all the while I'm with someone else to the price of around 265;00. In addition to that I was charged an additional 95;00. I have not had my last individual session or any of the 4 classes I paid to attend. I have never been part of a gym or a program that puts the safety and health of their clients as a secondary priority. Sadly this is the case in this scenario. this viewpoint was not represented in any of pamphlets or website. thus far I have paid you around $350.00 for three sessions that were supposed to be an individual coaching session yet it was with someone else. Please do the right thing and return my money. I have the email chain to give reference to my position. I no longer want to be a part of this gym. Its policies seem to be predatory and unreliable at best. read more
