Jade's is easy to find right on Pennsylvania Ave SE, which makes getting there stress-free. I took an all-levels mat Pilates class with Coleen and had a really great experience. She was incredibly welcoming from the start and guided us through every part of the class with clear, supportive instruction. What stood out most was her attention to detail. She offered small, helpful adjustments throughout, which made a big difference without ever feeling intrusive. The workout itself struck the perfect balance. I definitely felt the burn and got a good stretch in, but it never felt overwhelming or intimidating. If you're looking for a more intimate setting where you can actually get personalized attention, this is a great spot. Highly recommend, especially for beginners or anyone easing back into Pilates. read more

I want to love you Jade Fitness, I really do. But I often feel I'm working out at someone's passion project and not at a real gym. Things I like: - small class size - evening classes - accommodating to specific needs of class participants - convenient location - Negatives - entry to the space is a challenge - communication not great, I tried to set up meeting with a personal trainer and never heard back. I emailed, told the guy at the front desk, but never had anyone reach out. I gave up. Do I recommend, yes but not for personal training since I never figured out how to set it up. read more

I LOVE MY JADE FITNESS FAMILY!!! This past summer, I finally decided it was time for me to get back into a gym because I was struggling sticking to working out on my own. I have NEVER been one that did or really enjoyed group classes. I've known about Jade for awhile since it's just a block from my apartment and neighbors always talk about how great it is on our hood Facebook group. After talking to a few people to see if Jade would be a good fit for me, I decided it was! I figured that working out with other people would help keep me accountable in my goals and boy was I right! I started going to a variety of classes so I could figure out which formats and which instructors would work best for me. It quickly became apparent that Jen was the instructor I was looking for and I religiously went to her classes several times per week. I typically would do her Cardio Core and Jade Force classes and would throw in the occasional Weekend Warrior or other class for good measure (both Stephen and Garrett G. are also amazing to work with). I was nervous when I first started attending classes because I had big goals and was worried I wouldn't be able to keep up. But all of the trainers I've worked with have made a point to give me modifications when needed and help me with my form, etc. I soon became comfortable with everyone and haven't looked back! With the help of all the amazing staff at Jade, I hit 40lbs lost in only a few months and am very close to my overall goal weight! I'm so glad I decided to take the plunge and join Jade, don't know how I went so long without this awesome gym in my life! read more

I took classes with Garrett Giles and was duly impressed. He was funny, relaxed, and provided clear instructions (with postural corrections when necessary). His workouts are well structured with a mix of exercises...familiar and novel, stationary (i.e. lifting) and dynamic, and overall really challenging and fun. Since it was a Saturday class -- it was nice to know that he coordinates with the Sunday instructor (Stephen) on which exercises they would incorporate so as not to over exert certain muscle groups. (You certainly don't get that sort of concern at a big box workout warehouse). I was also happy to see that several of the instructors had a strong background in exercise science and kinesiology. This helps enormously when it comes to their understanding of preventing, mitigating, and working around injuries. read more

I've been taking yoga at Jade for6 or 7 years, and my strength and flexibility have improved incredibly. The teachers are friendly, and just as important, plan their sessions and fit in the needs and requests of their yogis. This is not a place where the same routine happens in each class or where teacher leads but does not really teach. I've been taking virtual classes with them 2 or more times a week during covid and am looking forward to being back in person. read more

I used Jade Fitness for its "Gym Time," so I can't comment on the trainers or any particular class. With that said, Jade is a wonderful minimalistic gym, super clean, has a welcoming and kind staff, and great equipment (including squat-racks). read more

So I got classpass because I wanted to be able to try out new classes. I figured I would bounce around from studio to studio. Oops. I've been to one class at Jade Fitness and I'm addicted. I took class with Drew, and he really gives you an amazing workout. He makes you do all the things where you curse him at the time but you feel so good after. And now I'm addicted. Oops. read more

I go to Jade to see my personal trainer, Garrett Giles. I can't believe I haven't written a review yet - my experience has been wonderful! For about 2 years I've been working out with Garrett in personal training. He draws on his JMU education in physical fitness, as well as intensive data tracking, to create and build upon my fitness program each week. In my time seeing him, I've lost over 20 pounds. He's motivating and makes every session feel positive and valuable - and I've experienced the results to prove that his methods work! I'm so grateful to Garrett and the Jade team for making me a little bit stronger each week! read more

I ended up at Jade through class pass. I'm a member at WSC by my office but I was looking for something to supplement my routine on the weekends closer to home. I'm so happy to stumbled across the Weekend Warrior class. Stephen is a great trainer. He is great about correcting forum and making sure everyone is completing the exercises properly. By week two he knew my name and now comes over to customize the exercise or push me to take on more weight. I feel stronger and more capable every week. I'm even considering purchasing personal training through Jade as well. A great option for those looking to improve their fitness level in a small intimate setting. read more

This fitness center is in a cute part of Capitol hill. I have gone for personal training and I have had Barbie. She is awesome! After just having a baby, I was able to tone by body and get serious about losing my baby fat. I always left feeling sore, that is my way of knowing I had a great workout! Sadly my schedule doesn't allow me to go more often. read more

I tried out Jade Fitness for the first time via Classpass. I came for the HIIT It Cardio class and apparently it was their first time offering this class. I enjoyed that it was a small group class size and Jen was a great instructor. I'll definitely be back. read more

Truly Herbert told me about her online yoga class through Jade Fitness. I had taken previous classes with her. Her sessions include varied movements tailored for all participants. As a side, she guides the class with her engaging and positive personality. Truly is the best and I hope your online classes continue so I can be part of your yoga classes. read more

Jade is a gem! Just had my first Small Group PT with Garett and wow..just wow. Disclaimer: I'm a total weenie, and I know it. However, Garett slyly pushed me out of my comfort zone, while being very encouraging and helpful, and didn't make me FEEL like a weenie - I actually felt pretty bad ass by the end of the workout! You could tell Garett was really invested in how much we got out of the session and if every class is as good as this one, I don't think my 3x a month limit through ClassPass is going to cut it. read more

I'm so happy Jade Fitness opened on the Hill! I have long struggled with finding a fitness routine that fit me. Jade offers a range of classes that are interactive, focused, and fun. I'm always challenged and never bored. The instructors are knowledgable and each unique in their approach and areas of expertise. I feel like they know me and are invested in my progress. Jade also offers a welcoming and local vibe. They care about members and the community. And when I was down and out with a nasty cold, I received check-in emails! Through classes at Jade, I've lost inches & weight and gained strength & flexibility. I feel stronger and healthier and I'm sleeping better. I can't offer enough praise for Jade Fitness. I can say try it tomorrow -- or today if it's early enough. You'll love it. read more

Love this gym! I first went to one class through ClassPass and now have joined the monthly membership. I am usually intimidated by group classes but Jade creates a wonderful and supportive environment. I've taken classes from Jen, Stephen and Shanna - which have all been great. They each have their own style and their classes will be sure to get you moving, improving both your cardio capability and strength training. The same for Garrett Giles, who has amazing energy and always keeps the class moving, and who I've taken most of my classes with. All the instructors work to modify up or down as you need/wish, and all focus on form to make sure you get the most out of your activity and don't get injured. Take a class today - you wont regret it! read more

So I've been visiting Jade Fitness using their intro promo and I must say... it was definitely worth the buy. The staff seem to be very friendly. One of the 2 front desk guys are always smiling and friendly. The other always seems to be in his phone and doesn't make much eye contact (dark haired guy). The gym is always clean, plenty of towels, but a bit on the small side. It's okay because we make good use every bit of the space. The gym is 2 blocks from the Potomac Ave metro (3 thumbs up for that!!!) I have taken classes with about 4 trainers: Shah, Drew, Natalie, and Brandon. I must admit, Drew is by far the best hands down. He really knows what he's talking about from a clinical perspective and a fitness perspective. I know because many of the exercises he's taught involves some sort of physical therapy component and I'd recently finished up about a years worth of Physical Therapy. Drew is all about posture, technique, and making sure you actually learn how its working for your body. He always has a smile on his face, he's friendly, and super motivating. Taking a class from Natalie was my 2nd fav. She pushes you and she's motivating. Im thinking of buying a membership but right now the personal training classes don't fit my schedule. The Weekend Warrior (bootcamp) is a BEAST!!! I love it. Its a full body workout with a class of about 9 or 10. We rotate exercises back to back and BOY can you feel the burn. I have really chiseled up some during my time here and hope to continue. My few cons are: I wish it was a bit larger and I wish there were cardio machines. Also, I noticed Jade posted something about working out with dogs on their Facebook page. Ummm personally i think that's just about the most disgusting and the very LAST thing I'd ever want to do at a gym. (especially considering all the sweating that goes on and so forth). The day dogs are in.... I'm out. There's a time and place for everything. Other than that, I am very happy! (Keeping my eyes open for the dogs though) read more

I have become hooked on Jade's classes!!!!! The small group classes have been really helpful in getting a great workout, but yet small enough that get form corrections and personalized feedback on improvements. Drew's classes are great - he always remembers me and helps to build off of previous comments/supportive on improvements/etc. Jerome is also awesome and helps the classes go by! When Jerome saw I was struggling with a certain exercise, he was helpful in providing tips/ticks and additional exercises to help work on my weakest spots. The other instructors I've taken (Barbie, Shah and Thea) are also great!!!! The ABC class and TRX/Kettlebell fusion class are my favorites and enjoy the Cardio Core one too. I am always challenged! Couldn't recommend the classes enough! read more

Jade Fitness is awesome. The facility is great, the classes small, and the instructors I have tried all terrific. All ages and fitness levels are welcome. I always get a good workout and leave wanting to come back again. Love it! read more

Love the weekend warrior classes. Its a great combination of cardio and strength training. The exercises are straightforward and easy to follow. The instructions mix things up enough to keep it from getting boring. I have had also tried a small group class and yoga class. Both were good. read more

My experience at Jade has been hit or miss. Mainly hit, but it all depends on the instructor. There are few instructors that haven't prepped for their class enough, or like to talk more than exercise, so I'd be feeling bored and not fully worked out. For example, I was at one small PT class, and the instructor wanted us to stretch our shoulders out using the dumbell bar before getting warmed up. The instructions given to us meant that the bar would lay on top of the groin of the students. Not possible for males. It took her a while to figure out what exactly she wants us to do so all in all this exercise took about 10 minutes. Zzzzzz. I had another small PT instructor that wanted us to use kettle bells, which I had never used before. He gave me the kettle bells, then took them away, and gave them back... Not really prepared for students of all physical ranges. The class ran long and so he asked us all to stay so we could continue our work out, but it was already five minutes past the time should've ended. If you can't give me a good workout in 50 minutes, please prep more for your class that you instruct. I think Jade has issues keeping good teachers, so you just end up knowing the teachers to stay away from, and the ones you like. But if you get a good instructor, this place is rocking. The set up is great, and the classes are the perfect length, and I love the location. read more

I run and do yoga regularly and do HIIT on occasion, so I've always felt like I was in decent shape, but man, each time I've come here, I've sweat like crazy and been sore afterwards! I've done the small group personal training with Shah and the A.B.C. (Arms, Butt, and Core) and Weekend Warrior workouts with Thea. Both trainers kicked my butt. I like the fact that the personal training sessions and fitness classes are small too. Everyone is friendly, and you feel like you're all in it together no matter what level of fitness you're at. I also felt like I got sufficient attention from the trainers - not too much where I felt like I was being scrutinized too much but enough to make sure I was doing the moves properly and not putting myself at risk of injury. A great addition to the neighborhood! read more

A great small gym with beautiful, clean facilities and encouraging instructors. An awesome addition to the Capitol Hill neighborhood!
