Trident Athletics (Formerly Trident CrossFit^®)

Fantastic experience: Great community of people in an incredible facility centrally located between Arlington and Old Town Alexandria.

Fantastic experience: I can already tell this is going to be an amazing experience. I always wanted to do CrossFit and it has been so welcoming so far. I love the attention to detail by the coaches and ensuring your form is perfect before adding weights. I’m hooked so far

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of the gym for about a month and have had several personal training sessions over that time. The coaches are very knowledgeable and are excellent instructors. Everyone at the gym -- the coaches and the other members -- are very friendly and welcoming. I couldn't be more excited to be a member at Trident!

Fantastic experience: Great early morning session with coaches Aby and Christiana!

Fantastic experience: Visiting from out of town. Came during open gym time. Great gym to come work Olympic weightlifting!! Staff was extremely nice and accommodating. Excellent selection of equipment! I will drop in again.

Fantastic experience: Alicia was great. Very welcoming and helpful!

Fantastic experience: Hi, today was my first workout with Ann Marie. It went great. I felt good about the modifications and like I could actually accomplish the workout. Thanks so much and looking forward to coming back.

Negative experience: I haven't gone to Trident in over a decade, have unsubscribed from their email list (probably multiple times), and yet I'm still getting spam emails from the gym. Seriously please stop this.

Fantastic experience: I Love my community !

Fantastic experience: Trident is a second home for me: I feel I belong in there. The coaches are super friendly and supportive, the workouts are variable and carefully designed (the attention given to different levels of fitness is significant), the sense of community is huge. It is a great space & I absolutely recommend it to any athlete or want-to-be who is thinking of joining a gym.

Fantastic experience: Amazing quality and welcoming. This gym has been my go to drop in the Alexandria area. No better CF Gym in my opinion. As a professional coach myself I find it refreshing seeing a full staff of enthusiastic and knowledge CrossFit Coaches that aren’t afraid to better your movement. If I could give Trident a 10/5, I would. Thank you for that fantastic family like environment! Will be coming back very soon

Fantastic experience: Chriss and the entire coaching staff at Trident CrossFit are amazing. They truly take your safety as their top concern while still pushing you outside your comfort zone. I've been a member of several CF boxes in the past, and I've never seen one so well-stocked with such a variety of weights and different pieces of gym equipment! Such a great place to work out.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to this gym for over a year now… I go MIA at times but I always come back and every time I come, Alicia is incredibly welcoming and encouraging. As someone who struggles with staying consistent and is not as fit as others, I always feel supported and motivated to keep pushing myself. All of the coaches are great. This gym truly fosters a positive and inclusive environment for everyone

Fantastic experience: Sean D. was awesome.. very supportive and patient as this was my first experience with Crossfit.

Fantastic experience: Trident coaching is always excellent. As no longer a spring chicken, I appreciate all the coaches at trident attention to proper form, safety and scaling to avoid any injuries. They know my body’s limitations yet they push me enough to get stronger each day. Thank you to all the awesome coaches at trident.

Fantastic experience: Dropped into Trident Athletics today for the partner WOD. Great facilities and great coaching. I’ll keep coming here whenever I’m in town.

Fantastic experience: The best by far. I love them for their diligence but also their warmth. I go back every time I am home.

Fantastic experience: After researching several different CrossFit gyms in the area, I decided to do a free week intro at Trident and have loved being a member ever since. I joined with no CrossFit experience and any intimidation that I initially had was instantly gone- all of the coaches are excellent; welcoming, supportive, and they provide constant feedback, teaching, and modifications to reach any fitness level while still safely challenging you. There’s a variety of programs and workouts and the workout of the day can easily be previewed from an app which is helpful. The facility is large, well designed, clean, and there is plenty of equipment. Lastly, all of the members at the gym are friendly, welcoming, and fun to workout with!

Fantastic experience: Such a great gym whether you are first starting or at a competitive level! Trident is such a supportive and welcoming community. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Lots of friendly knowledgable folks here that want to see you succeed.

Fantastic experience: Literally the best CrossFit gym I’ve ever been to in the whole country. And I would know, I’ve been to A LOT!!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great atmosphere, plenty of room and plenty of equipment. The staff are very welcoming and friendly

Positive experience: Great gym, just wish the prices weren’t so high. Monthly is $260 for unlimited classes which doesn’t include their barbell class which is an extra $40 a month. Really wish the prices weren’t so high.

Fantastic experience: Great CrossFit community to join! Hugo was the man and the gym is fully equipped with anything and everything required to get the results you want.

Fantastic experience: I just PCS’d here after spending 10 years overseas and tried a couple other boxes in the area but Trident Athletics gave me all the community vibes, has a great layout, great equipment and amazing coaches. You won’t regret dropping in or signing up!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym! Great programming, outstanding facilities and equipment, fantastic class and open gym times, and excellent knowledge-base and friendliness of the coaching staff and members.

Fantastic experience: I find it difficult finding a CF gym that offers open gym drop-ins so I was glad when I found Trident. The coaches were friendly. The facility was spacious and had everything! Will definitely return when I fly back.

Fantastic experience: I've tried several CF/HIIT gyms in the NOVA area and Trident is heads and shoulders above them all. Great programming, dedicated coaching, and a staff and management team that are driven to support you in your goals truly set this place apart. The Trident community is an incredible group of diverse people with a wide range of fitness levels and the gym has the tools and training to improve even the most seasoned athlete.

Fantastic experience: Great facility and an experienced staff. If you want to try CrossFit this is the place to go.

Fantastic experience: Nice box! Had CrossFit Kids Course there

Fantastic experience: Awesome staff and facility traveling for work and got to train there. If I lived in the area they would be my box

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility and even more impressive people! The coaches are so knowledgeable and caring, you'll feel right at home with a great community. The open gym offerings are extensive. There are also a number of social events each month.

Fantastic experience: I have had the best experience at Trident. The facility is well equipped and maintained. Coaches are fun and ensure you get the best out of your class. Workouts are well planned to meet all fitness levels. Hours are very flexible and can fit all schedules. Super easy to sign up for classes. I love this community!

Fantastic experience: Very hospitable and accommodating gym to out of town drop ins. A must recommend for the traveling CrossFit‘er. I’ll be back for sure.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Quality

Fantastic experience: Trident has an amazing group of coaches that create an environment that welcomes all, no matter your fitness level!

Fantastic experience: After a few years of experiencing various CF boxes, I can honestly say that Trident ranks as my best experience. The coaches are superb; they gave me very constructive feedback, challenged me at an appropriate level, and always explained everything clearly. Great programming and warmups. The facilities are excellent—very spacious, very clean, and well-stocked with everything you need. Most importantly, everyone is super friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately I moved away. I very much miss being a part of Trident and miss the coaches very much.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Facilities are always clean with plenty of equipment. Coaches are excellent. Hard to find a gym in the area better than Trident.

Fantastic experience: I dropped in for a workout today and the space is fully loaded and spotless! We had 2 coaches roaming around and correcting our form and I had a fantastic class experience! Thanks for a fun drop in visit!!

Fantastic experience: Great staff and community, I love going to this gym!

Fantastic experience: Safety first focused! Every instructor is incredibly helpful with specific recommendations for immediate and long term improvement unique to each level of athleticism. The camaraderie is positive and infectious! Daily Group classes are challenging and fun!! Instructors and athletes create aa encouraging environment- this is NOT one of those CrossFit cult places!!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, excellent staff, excellent environment!

Fantastic experience: Trident Athletics is a great gym with an amazing coaching staff. I have been a member for months and I'm really enjoying it. They have different programs for whatever you are looking for to include classes and one of the best open gym programs I've seen. Highly recommend checking them out!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I love Trident! Instructors are great, classes are fun! I am very happy that I am part of this box, everyone in the class is friendly. I am really happy with the results that I am getting in a very a short time..Definitely recommend it!!

Fantastic experience: I grew up here at Trident starting my CrossFit journey back in 2015! Great workouts, excellent Coaches, outstanding facility. I would absolutely recommend this to any athlete dropping in from out of town OR starting a new path in their fitness! #TridentStrong

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality

Fantastic experience: I started going to Trident about three months ago, never having done CrossFit before. The staff is very welcoming and focused on helping you with your form and improving. There are scaling options available for most workouts, and the coaches are there to help you tailor the workout to your abilities, safety comes first. I started noticing the results right away, and feel much stronger than I did three months ago.

Fantastic experience: Awesome box, with wonderful coaches to educate you very professionally, a lot numbers of equipments and a huge space is extra plus!!

Fantastic experience: Trident has definitely made me a better athlete. Coaches are knowledgeable and willing to help. Hugo is my personal coach and is phenomenal!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a proud member since 2012 - There’s no other gym for us! They’re my community and extended family. I love Trident!

Fantastic experience: I am amazed how coaches (Stacy, Marcus, Donnie, Kate) here come together in each class & focus on the technique and correct it when they see a problem. Their focus is on all the students throughout the class. They truly care about teaching you proper movements, and techniques. Even the assistant coaches are dedicated to helping and correcting the form and technique. The beginning of the class, coaches ask you to follow the baby steps they walk you through (whether you are experienced or newbie) so you can follow proper techniques when the actual rounds starts. There is no intimidation or competition here. Just a class full of energy, and motivation.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of trident for almost two years and I love it! The workouts are challenging, but there are always scaling options available. I’ve been crossfitting for almost 4 years, and was honestly plateaued in my performance until recently... the coaches are amazing at focusing on form, mobility, and technique to build a foundation to get better, unlike other gyms. They’re also COVID conscious with coaches in masks and social distancing. Can not recommend it enough!

Fantastic experience: Awsome experience!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality From the moment I first walked in, I was impressed with this gym. The coaches are welcoming, knowledgeable, and professional. The facility is large, very clean, and has a ton of great equipment. The class times and open gym times are really convenient, too! Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Everyone is welcome here! From personal experience, a great community of accepting and helpful people. All the coaches are very thorough and knowledgeable. Scheduling is easy and prices are reasonable. You will not be disappointed and get a great workout with some really great people.

Fantastic experience: I have been working out at Trident for about seven months now, and it's a truly great gym. Trident easily rivals other CrossFit gyms I have attended in the DC area and also when I've dropped in on out of town gyms. The coaching is really good and hands on, the community is great, and most importantly, it's fun. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: First time. Very friendly and will take the time to explain what you need help on.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Great coaches. Great atmosphere. I'd encourage you to check it out if you're looking for a fun way to stay fit!

Fantastic experience: Such a great gym with great coaches & people!

Fantastic experience: This place is much cooler than expected. Champion power lifters work out here. Will visit again.

Negative experience: I was recently down in the DC area for the Marine Corp Marathon, and wanted to get in an early morning work out. I did some research and this place had the best reviews. Unfortunately I didn't feel as though my experience lived up to the reviews. Everything was so rushed. An incredibly short warm up was done, and virtually no barbell warm-up before a heavy lift. The coaching was minimal as well. In the end I was disappointed with the whole experience.

Fantastic experience: Great facility and more importantly a great community of athletes and staff. I recommend wholeheartedly for athletes of all levels.

Fantastic experience: Everyone is welcoming and encouraging. If you want a top tier workout, but have been working on that courage..take the leap.

Fantastic experience: Great Box! Coaches were friendly and helpful as were the members! I’ll be back!

Fantastic experience: Efficient classes, on time, good welcoming people, and top notch equipment. Very reputable business!

Fantastic experience: Great!!

Fantastic experience: THE most legit Crossfit gym. Period.

Fantastic experience: I belonged to this box for just over a year and I have to say, IT IS THE BEST. From the friendly owners, coaches, and other crossfitters its a great atmosphere. The people are amazing, the workouts are great and the equipment is top-notch. Completely worth it!

Fantastic experience: Been part of the Trident family for a long time. Can't say enough about this community. Great gym and amazing coaching staff.

Fantastic experience: I visited here a couple times when I was in town for a conference, and it is one of the best drop-in experiences I have had. Everyone made sure I felt welcomed, and the coaches treated me like one of their own. They gave me great tips on movements I never considered and provided awesome programming for my short time here.

Fantastic experience: Great facility and more importantly a great community of athletes and staff. I recommend wholeheartedly for athletes of all levels.

Fantastic experience: Staff is great and very engaging. Love this gym.

Positive experience: Dropped in for the 31 HEROES WOD on August 5th. The box was nicely arranged and the people were friendly. It was quite a bit busier than I am used to at my usual box so it wasn't as smooth a workout process but it was still a great workout.

Fantastic experience: Expert coaching. Really nice community.
