And Orangetheory is by far one of the most fun and effective workouts I've ever done. I've been to a couple of the instructors so far and they are all pretty good but I find Alex to be the most motivating. She plays the best music too! This studio is not quite as big as some of the other locations around here but if I can get on my favorite treadmill then I'm good to go! I can't wait for my next class!

I signed up online but I never…read morereceived an email to register for a class so I just called and was able to schedule a noon class for the next day. OT is in a prime location near Chinatown. There was an option to park in the garage - free for 90 mins (not sure if that's a first client deal or what) but the garage was full! I ended up paying for 2 hour street parking. I arrived thirty minutes early like I was instructed and filled out paperwork. They had lockers, two bathrooms, two showers. My friend and I were given towels and water. Lockers were available for free with their own lock also. Laura (I think) was her name - explained mostly everything we needed to know and our instructor Razi added in. As far as the class, you get a heart rate monitor to record your stats which show up on the tv screen in the workout room. It is a combination of interval training on the treadmill, rower, and lifting/ab work which the instructor navigates the class through for 55 minutes. We started on the rowers, then did lifting/abs, and ended with the treadmill! I burned 400 calories!! This class was more than amazing and Razi made us feel comfortable and checked up on us frequently. It was definitely hard and you have to push yourself to finish strong ! I would totally recommend this class and at lest try it for free ! The studio was clean and the workers were very nice!

I'm a former athlete (long time ago) who joined CFH a year ago after enjoying some HIIT workouts…read moreand wanting to try something new. I'm so glad I did! I've found a tremendously well-run, safe, fun, inclusive space to train and grow. The owner is phenomenal at working with her athletes to make sure each is pushing themselves in a safe but challenging way, and routinely suggests modifications to scale up or down workouts unique to the athletes ability (or injury). CFHers are all skill/ability levels and coaches are as excited to work with someone who's never set foot at a gym as someone who's been going to the Open for years. It's a great place! Worth checking out

I'm new to CrossFit as some of the other reviewers are. CrossFit Hyattsville is a great place to…read morelearn proper form and get fit the safe way. Being in a class/group environment is really a big change from working out in my basement. Everyone that I've interacted with there is very very helpful. The coaches are amazing, giving personal attention to everyone. I've been working on my form and learning the right way to get fit. Here's a tip that I've learned since going to CFH: Check your pride at the door. Unless you've done crossfit before, you have a lot of acronyms to learn, and you will likely be corrected a few times with your form and such. You're learning correct form, so it's for the best. The gym is clean, well organized and a great place to get fit.

The price was in-line with other options. Leon was personable, knowledgeable, and helpful. He made sure to provide us with everything that we needed to know and was efficient in providing us with the training needed to get certified in CPR, comfortable using an AED, and helping someone who may be choking. Leon shared knowledge and best practices that he had accumulated over 15 years of experience. His gym and fitness classes also looked legit and there was a community feel to his fitness center that you don't get at many locations.

I really like working out at Bourne2Fly Fitness and would highly recommend checking it out. Leon,…read morethe owner, is great. I have been training with him for about six months now, and in that time I have found him to be a highly energetic and motivational trainer who is very thoughtful about the workouts he puts together. When I first came in for a fitness evaluation, I was pretty nervous because, frankly, I've never been very good at this fitness stuff. Fortunately, Leon was super welcoming and made me feel at ease, even when I had trouble completing my first workout (I barely made it past the warm up, not because it was a crazy workout or anything like that but because my body just wasn't used to much physical exertion). Leon very patiently helped me push through all that. In addition to personal training with Leon, I have also taken a few boxing classes with Coach Herb. Those classes are a lot of fun and I would also recommend them. I should add that Leon is a good guy who lives in the area and is invested in the local community. I live a few blocks away and am very happy to be able to support a local business.

Staff is none pressure, and generally at the desk :-D The gym itself is fine for what it is. Late-night hours mean fewer people, easier access to machines, and a more relaxed workout. During busier times, I can see this location feeling more cramped and less convenient. Biggest issue here is parking. It's not intuitive, not particularly close, and can feel annoying if you're already trying to squeeze in a quick workout. Overall, it works best if you're a night owl and already familiar with the area. Not my favorite Planet Fitness, but manageable with the right timing.

As we discussed different options before I completed my decision, Justin promoted the business in sharing some information that I was unaware of. Another employee name Brittany who needed to use his register also spoke to me and added other ideas that gave me another way of making my decision. What I observed was Justin, Brittany and Nyla were a team. Nyla became involved because Justin helped another client which these rotated their strengths and resolved three (3) different issues within one cycle. I was very impressed.

At times, they offer 50 minute classes focused just on running or weights. My usual studio is the Capitol Hill one, but I pop into this location sometimes since it's close to my daughter's school. There's easy street parking nearby off of H Street NE. The staff and instructors are friendly and know what they are doing to help you maximize the workout. The layout of the gym is nice with treadmills in the back and then the rowers with weights in the front. There are water fountains inside and sweat towels in the lobby.

It…read morewon't work to join as the location isn't as convenient as the Capitol Hill OrangeTheory, but here's my experience. 1) Check-In: You need a code to get into the basement, but luckily a member walked in at the same time and let me in. The coach introduced me to the workout and checked in on my throughout the 50 minutes. Many of the members were very friendly, making it a point to say hi and check on me as a first timer. 2) Workout: I know their workouts change, but the one I went to at 4:30pm on a Thursday in May involved five different stations- boxing, weights, jumping, kettle balls, and a shuffle run. You line up behind a color dot based on the size of the weights you want to work with. For this workout, we went around the room six times- two starting with easier weights, two on medium, and two heavy. We spent 40 seconds at each station with 20 seconds to transition. It was a great workout and it kept my heart rate up. 3) Coach: She knew her workout and was super friendly and approachable. 4) Space: There's cubbies to keep your belongings, a drinking fountain, and restrooms. If you're looking for a community-minded gym with great coaches, I recommend MABabolic.

I then joined a few months later with a Black Friday deal as a way to add some variety to my lifting routine. I've done group classes like Elevate and Orange Theory and really prefer the MAD programming. I love that everyone is able to do the same workout but work at their own strength levels. The programming also isn't as intimidating as CrossFit or Olympic lifting. There's also a solid variety of dumbbell and kettlebell work mixed in with a variety of cardio machines to work on endurance. The class is fairly fast paced (in a good way) and before you know it you've completed a total body workout. I generally go in the evenings 2-3 days a week and on the weekend . I've had a chance to take classes with most of the coaches. My favorite coaches (and Carol! ) are the ones who give a gentle reminder of when it's appropriate to go up in weights for the day. I've been going to MAD for a little over six months and I'm happy to bring guests with me anytime I can because I love the workouts and members at H Street. I also love that Carol is so welcoming and takes the time to get to know members. Her attention to new and old members has gone a long way, several friends I've brought with me have commented on how personable she is. If you're looking for a new gym routine (beginner or advanced) I highly recommend giving MADabolic a try. Sign up for the 5 for 5 pass and try different coaches you won't regret it.
