I purchased a Groupon for CrossFit Falls Church to try it out; I had never done CrossFit before and…read moreI wasn't sure whether I would like it enough to make a long-term commitment. I registered for their Elements classes with Jordan and absolutely LOVED every minute of it! All of the coaches at CFFC are extremely knowledgeable and patient. They take the time to teach proper form for every movement to help avoid injury, but they know how and when to push you to reach your full potential and make progress. After completing Elements I purchased a monthly membership (which includes yoga and various workshops, as well as the opportunity to take classes at their sister gym, CrossFit Adaptation in Shirlington), and promptly cancelled my "traditional" health club membership -- no more treadmill for me! The gym is clean, full of a variety of equipment, and reasonably priced (compared to many other CrossFit gyms in the DC area). They offer a ton of classes each day (from 5:30am to 7:30pm) and there is a real sense of community among the members. I am always amazed at the variety of CrossFitters in each class -- all ages and all skill levels, all shapes and sizes. Thanks to Linsey and all of the other CFFC coaches, I can honestly say I look forward to each workout and I am actually a bit sad when my body tells me to take a rest day. I have enjoyed my time at CFFC so much that I purchased another Groupon for my husband -- he just finished Elements and is hooked!

I'm fairly petite, 50+ was started on 175# for legs and 75# for arms. I told the trainer that was too heavy for the first time, and that I preferred a lower weight to get the form right, and then I can proceed to a higher weight. He disagreed. I could hardly move the weights and my arms collapsed after 2 of the slow timed reps. I had a lot of pain (not the oh I worked out pain but pulled something pain) in my left knee, right neck, shoulder & arm. I was unable to lift my right arm for 2 days. My neck was messed up because in trying to move the 75# weight, I shrugged my shoulders (a no-no that wasn't corrected by the trainer). Lots of ibuprofen but at least I didn't do any permanent damage. I know my body. I know what works for me. Unless you want be in extreme pain I DO NOT recommend this workout especially for those over 40.

My admittedly horrible diet hasn't changed and I haven't dropped (or gained) any weight. The service isn't inexpensive, roughly $400/month. The pricing, at least for me, was inflexible and I would love to hear from anyone who was offered training at a reduced rate. You can get a lower per-workout price by buying a longer term contract. However, the way the compute "Pay in Full" benefits decreases this benefit somewhat. What is variable is the trainer you choose to work with. There are several available and you should try each to see which one is best to motivate you. My recommendation is that even for the reasonably priced trial that you try each trainer to find the one who best resonates with you. Bottom line: I like the convenience and efficiency of a 20-minute, twice weekly workout that provides measurable, if not dramatic, improvements. I would be happier if these benefits were available at a somewhat lower price.

I received an email stating we would have a "small" increase. 33 percent is not small! And new fees are continally added for late cancellations or no shows. I understand, but I think some tolerance should be given. For example, if I cancel a class late because I wake up sick, I pay $20. However, if the studio is flooded, the instructor is late, the sound system isn't working etc, (all of which I've experienced) we get nothing. The experienced and best instructors continue to leave. The new ones are ok but could benefit from more instruction. And their playlists are chosen by them, so it's very hit or miss. I don't really enjoy an instrumental ride for instance. And it's SO loud. I wear earplugs but it's still barely tolerable. On a positive note, the front desk people are very nice. Also, the studio is in the same complex as a grocery store which is convenient.
