Upon my first visit, everyone was welcoming, this is including the instructors & other members I love how flexible hourly classes are offered daily. Even with people (both men & women) at varying fitness levels in the class, instructors remained attentive & provided guidance when needed.

Highly recommend to anyone looking to join a local, more community style gym!

So I did the 2 week Groupon here at the Gaithersburg Soldierfit. Let me tell you I went EVERYDAY…read moreexcept for Saturdays because I work from 9am to 5pm and their class schedule did not work with mine. Here is what I thought. Location: Not so great, parking is HORRIBLE! lol The way they time their classes? parking is always filled up with gym members who are finishing up with workout and then everyone that is trying to make it to class on time are scrambling outside to find a good spot to park. Since they tow you want to make sure you are in an authorized spot. If you don't make it to the warm up? You cannot do the class! remember that. lol If class ends at 6:30pm and starts at 6:30pm? How can people leave and enter? They need to fix that. Make it 6:40pm. It will make a BIG difference. I have been working for Golds gym and thats how classes ran so much more smoothly. Size of gym: Kinda small honestly. At 6:20pm They have a kid class that is right next to the group workout area. They have little kids running with the adults during the warm up. My kids tried out the class and they thought it was "ok". They did not like running in the middle of room with the adults. (They were kind of scared to get hit) Teachers? They were GREAT!! Really pushed me and everyone in the class. If you have bad knees? Honestly? this s not good for you. Even if you go to a knee class? these work outs are going to mess up your knees over time. I went 6 days a week and I could tell the difference. If anything? Just stretch well afterwards. Pricing? Is pretty high! Its about $70/80/month for unlimited classes. I think if you had a personal trainer? its worth getting rid of the trainer and coming here. But its still high if your just looking for a gym alternative. Overall Soliderfit is a good place if you are looking for a push. Parking is terrible and the timing of class is not convenient for members at all to my opinion. The staff is great! Rigo is super friendly and has a warm approach! Never met Antione but he did help me over the phone. The two guys that work the front desk (signing in) were super friendly too!! Great customer service. If the pricing and schedule worked more with my circumstances? I would have definitely signed up.

I've been training with Brian for about a month, and I have only good things to say about him. My…read morefitness level is somewhere in the deep negative range, so we've had to start slow, but I already feel like I am seeing some improvement in my stamina and how I'm feeling day-to-day. I have found Brian to be patient and encouraging, but he also doesn't let me get away with doing anything half-assed during our workouts. I'm still at a point in which I find myself hating him for a little while after our sessions, so I figure that he's doing something right. If you were to ask me to name five reasons why you should work out with Brian, I would have to go with: (1) he's very knowledgeable; (2) he's flexible about exercises and will help you find the ones that work best for you; (3) he's always on time; (4) his rates are very reasonable and he doesn't lean on you to purchase more sessions than you can afford; (5) he's also available to help you work on your nutrition and diet. Highly recommended!

I've received two emails from the owner of Warriorfit telling me that "he's sorry I didn't grasp…read morewhat they do," basically putting me down instead of truly taking in and using my criticism constructively. I didn't respond. He also said I was expecting a Crossfit workout. Nope. I don't do Crossfit, I disagree with a lot of what Crossfit does, especially since it's injury rate is so high. And I certainly wasn't expecting a Crossfit workout when I tried Warriorfit. However, pretty much everyone in the fitness industry is doing some variation of metabolic conditioning -- whether it's bootcamp style, Crossfit or something else. And I know what metabolic conditioning is, because I've trained with some of the best in the industry. Warriorfit is, indeed, practicing metabolic conditioning. Sending repeated emails telling me I didn't "get it" shows a real lack of class, so I'm sticking with my two stars. And that's generous. I'm doing so because I think Warriorfit's intention is to help people and because it probably does help some people. I just don't think it's the most effective way to do so and I see lots of room for improvement in the coaches' technique, methodologies, and now business practices and just plain manners. And, despite the owner comment posted below, not one of the people in my class was there for martial arts instruction. They weren't martial artists. They were there for general fitness and conditioning. His martial arts instruction was the best part of the workout, but it was a SMALL part of the workout and probably what Warriorfit should stick to teaching. Problem is there is more demand for general classes. As for my "qualifications," 1.) I'm pretty sure I do not need to be qualified as a consumer of such services. This should tell you what the tone of his messages to me was really like. And 2.) I will be earning my Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist cert, which is more than what any of the instructors there has. Yuck, yuck, and yuck. *Postscript: This guy just can't take criticism (like a man, or like a woman) and use it to improve. It's obvious from the ongoing back and forth. It's also pretty obvious how many of friends he's gotten to write reviews since I posted mine. Ugh. Who has the time for this? Again, just because you've practiced martial arts does not mean you should be teaching general fitness classes, especially if you are unlicensed and uninsured. But, hey, the liability is yours to assume. Good luck with that.

Lets Go Warriors! I…read morewas honestly skeptical to use this place because I have a slight anxiety disorder and do not like big classes. BUT this class works for me! Everyone one is class is nice and encouraging, as we are all just trying to make ourselves better. I am going on my fourth week, and I am sure that if I go for 2 more months I will reach my goal. I love the fact that they offer 7 & 8 oclock classes Monday through Thursday and 7 pm classes on Friday. I work late shift at work and do not get off until 6 pm, and was afraid I would be stuck in traffic and not make it to class ontime, but I have made it early since the day I started. My first week was brutal. I was injured, back and shoulder, and could not do all of the moves or even move as fast but the instructor for the day David- gave me alternatives and stretches so that I could get well soon. I no longer have the injuries.The classes are very upbeat, you are constantly moving and challenging yourself. The instructor often says " Just dont stop, I dont care if you move slow, Just KEEP MOVING"! I love that they are motivating and really want you to work for it. Class always starts off with a ten minute run. I havent mastered my breathing yet so this is horrible for me, but I at least try to get through it every time. Each class is different. Some days there are different stations where the instructor will have you do different moves. There are days where we are all about the punching back and we are kicking and punching for a good 20 plus mintues. There are days when we are outside on the field running up and down the field, squatting up and down the field, lunging, bear crawling, and all of the above. Im allergic to class and after a bad reaction to an outdoor session I go to the later class so I do have red bumps on my arms the next day at work :(. There is always stretching, and always abs. I like the fact that they target your whole body and dont forget about the booty, abs or back :) Overall Warriorfit is def worth giving a try, if you dont end up loving it at least you tried something new. I love it after 3 weeks, I actually did two sessions yesterday so that I didnt have to work out on Friday- and I felt great after doing it. Lots of sweat but lots of smiles today I got a great deal on Amazon Local $20 for a month of unlimited classes, I def want to get a membership for the rest of summer. Great promotion! By the time you finish this class you will def feel like a warrior!

I love this place. Excellent programming, great knowledgeable coaches, and their facility/equipment…read moreis very nice too. I originally checked this place out from a groupon for a months membership of carbon cardio and after a month of trying it out, I decided to become a member without any hesitation. As a business, this crossfit box simply has so much to offer in comparison to other boxes I've been to. They treat their members well, they have mobility clinics, monthly challenges, host happy hours, bring a friend free days, water, recovery drinks, protein for sale, shower and two bathrooms, etc... overall, it's a fun, high energy environment and you can never get bored of this place. I highly recommend crossfit shady grove to experienced athletes and even people that have never stepped foot in a gym in their lives. The workouts are amazing and there are always modifications for movements as needed. The only downside is that being a member of a crossfit facility is usually pretty expensive, but having been a member for about one year now, it's worth every penny!

I have met some truly awesome people here that are supportive and kind. They really do get the best out of you.

They also offer ab classes as well along with a series of other classes such as triple threat. Now, I read the previous review from another Yelper, and I felt her review was a tab bias. I felt her negative observation of the some of the female dancers was just not something you should to someone that is possible looking for another fitness class outlet. I did not find the female dancers to be a negative representation of the instructor, but a breath of fresh air to see women of all races and body types working towards a fitness goal. And I will most definitely return if I am in the Rockville area.
