202strong

They offer a class that is only open to women.
Going to a HIIT class or a crossfit class kind of scares me for some reason, maybe because I don’t always understand what the exercises are and they aren’t always explained? But let me explain why I liked this set up, class, instructors and why I would come back.
Upon arrival, you will need to walk down a few flights of stairs, but don’t get discouraged. Once you reach the last floor, you will see 202strong. You should receive an email to fill out the incidental form before your arrival, so once you arrive you will check-​in and be on your way to class.
The class I took was a Monday class for just women: Girlstrong, and I thought that was awesome! One of the owner’s, Molly, and Nisha teach this class. They both have so much knowledge to offer. This class is a partner based class but also very individualized. You work on cardio, weights a killer abs, and then some YogaFit at the end for stretching.
Throughout class Molly and Nisha walk around to ensure you are doing the moves properly so you get the best workout and do not injure yourself. Between sets and the instructors make sure to demonstrate everything you will do so you understand what the move looks like rather than just saying?: 10 mountain climbers.
202strong is equipped with a water fountain, (but I would suggest bringing a water bottle) and an amazing showering facility. I believe there are three showers in a huge locker room. If you like to workout before work, this is a perfect place for you to come and get your sweat on.
The motivation and comeridarie at this gym was awesome. It felt so welcoming and it was killer workout.

Came here on a business trip and worked out with Matt. Have to say Matt was extremely accommodating and had a great attitude. All levels of crossfitters were there and he did a great job of making sure everyone was safe and learning. He even offered to judge the open for me and went above and beyond in helping me to get the best time possible. Definitely check it it if you are in town or live by and need an awesome gym!
Thanks Matt and 202!

I know some people who are super into CrossFit but I have never tried it so I decided to try out the free class. The studio was super nice and had a great locker room to put everything in and clean up after the class. Danny explained everything we would do in the class and gave an introduction to CrossFit. Throughout the class he was really helpful in adjusting form and providing encouragement. Other members at the class were also super friendly and motivating. The workout overall was challenging but enjoyable in that «total sweatfest» sort of way. After the class, I got a follow-​up email from Rob to check in on my experience and offer some other classes to check out. I went to another class taught by Rob which was similarly challenging and awesome. It was a group style workout which was a fun way to mix it up.
I would definitely recommend checking this out for anyone looking for a solid workout. People (both trainers and other members) were really welcoming to all fitness levels and they have a great way to monitor progress and motivate each other.

I started using the free trial week in September and got totally hooked! The coaches are friendly and make the weight lifting part so approachable for a newbie like me. The other members are really nice too, and there is great camaraderie. The work outs are great and the coaches are always able to find a variation for me, if I can’t manage a particular exercise. I love it and get sad when I can’t make it to a work out:)

202strong is my first CrossFit experience and I’m hooked! It’s really empowering to realize how strong I am and, more so, motivating to know that I haven’t even reached my potential. A new strength cycle every six weeks means I’m never bored and always challenged. After nearly one year at 202strong, I’ve never done the same work out twice. Rob and Maddie’s tweak of the tiniest technical detail and personal attention set them apart in the DC fitness world. The energy and camaraderie of the Tuesday 6:30 AM class has me willingly getting out of bed at 5:45 AM. Give it a try! You’re body will thank you.

I’ve always been a gym rat, but also always stayed away from CrossFit because of the attitude that goes with most CrossFit gyms. 202strong gives CrossFit a new and refreshing spin. While it’s a given that your coaches will push you to lift stronger and faster, they never do so by sacrificing your form and putting you at risk. The coaches are great and have a wide range of personalities so you can match to how you like to work out. They are all more than capable of scaling workouts to your skill level.
Classes are capped at 12, but I’ve never been in a class that big. You get all the attention and motivation you’ll need to achieve your fitness goals.
To track your performances, the gym uses Wodify. So you’ll never have to carry around a notebook with you in the gym ever again! The whiteboard feature allows you to see how other people performed; leading to plenty of friendly competitions!
I’d strongly recommend 202strong for anyone who is new to the gym or really even if you just want a new challenge. It doesn’t matter what you’re looking for in a gym; you’ll find it at 202strong.

Awesome new fitness studio! Small business owned … Maddie and her team are AWESOME! Great location, Rob’s of street parking, near lots of GOV buildings, VERY clean, modern, classes are 45 min and you leave feeling energized (not dying) and can really feel the workout the next day … And next day (ha)! Showers, locker room, modern bar/​loft … I guess it’s cross-​fit … But more like a fun (small group) way to Tirch calories, have fun, and get on with your day!!! Nice and cool in there too … So you don’t sweat your arse off ! Perfect.

Being new to CrossFit I was somewhat intimidated and a bit nervous to check out 202strong. But I forced myself to try out a CrossFit Class. I’m glad I did as the first class was really fun, albeit a lot of sweat and intensity.
Besides the really clean, neat and super well located venue, what I love the most about 202strong is the low key & super friendly staff & helpful trainers as well as the community from all walks of life and group ages. It’s always fun to sweat, struggle and share a laughter together.
Also, their athletic performance tracking and class-​sign-​up system is pretty cool and very easy to manage.
I’m a very happy camper and would def. recommend 202strong to anyone & everyone who would like to invest in being healthy, active and strong.
