SWEAT DC: Opinions

Fantastic experience: You will get a great, functional workout here that will serve all of your health and fitness goals! The classes are small, fast paced (in a good way), and the coaches make it around to help everybody individually. They have plenty of plates, dumbbells and other equipment to choose from, which allows everybody to work hard - from beginners to seasoned weightlifters/athletes. The coaches and other members are really supportive and kind. Just go!
Thank you for your wonderful review, Laura! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our classes and found our coaches supportive. It's great to know that our equipment and workout structure are accommodating for all fitness levels. We appreciate you spreading the word and encouraging others to join us. Your feedback inspires us to keep providing the best environment for our members!
Fantastic experience: I love coming to Sweat! I've tried a lot of work out classes from CrossFit to boxing, but I have definitely become my strongest with the programming at Sweat. I love that the workouts are short but effective. I used to wander around the big box gyms for hours and didn't see results. The coaches are all unique, professional and bring so much to the table. Starlight helps push me but makes sure my form is perfect, Kay is always dropping inspiration and is motivational to be your best in and outside the gym, Tamar always has a great playlist going and a smile on, and Vic is such a hype woman. I've also made some new friends since joining!
Thank you for your fantastic review, Stephanie! We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying your experience at Sweat and that our programming has helped you become stronger. It's wonderful to know that our coaches are making a positive impact on your workouts and motivation. We're also glad that you've found a community here and made new friends. Keep up the great work with your fitness journey!
Fantastic experience: Before coming to Sweat, I thought a consistent workout routine was totally out of reach for me. I did their spring challenge, and I began to see and feel a difference in 6 weeks. Now I’ve been going over a year, and I’m doing things I thought impossible. The class-based weightlifting format is unique. The community is supportive and inclusive, and the coaches are the BEST: Starlight, Kay, Tamar.
Thank you for sharing your journey, Garrison! We're thrilled to hear that our program has positively impacted your fitness goals. It's wonderful to know that our community and coaches have supported you along the way. We appreciate your commitment and look forward to continuing to help you achieve your fitness dreams!
Fantastic experience: Quickly became my favorite gym I've ever belonged to. Amazing coaches, staff, and vibes - love the support and inclusivity for all body types. Feel like I'm in a club, but its a party for your muscles :D !!!
Thank you for your wonderful review, Jessica! We're thrilled to hear that you love the atmosphere and support at our gym. Your kind words about our coaches and staff mean a lot to us. We look forward to continuing to be your favorite place to work out!
Fantastic experience: Great class at Sweat DC! The exercises were challenging but scalable, the soundtrack was a great throwback to younger days and I appreciated the form corrections from the instructor
Thank you for your wonderful review, Sandra! We're glad you enjoyed the class and found the exercises both challenging and scalable. It's great to hear that the soundtrack and instructor's corrections contributed to your experience. We look forward to seeing you again at Sweat DC!
Fantastic experience: t was an incredible experience, I enjoyed it very much, I think the coaches are very professional and very kind. I highly recommend it !thanks to my boys to give me that present ! Love gym!
Thank you for your fantastic review, Angela! We're thrilled to hear that you had such an incredible experience and found our coaches professional and kind. Your recommendation means a lot to us! We're glad you love the gym!
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym and trainers. The format is great and I love being able to see my progress over time. It's a fun yet challenging class with supportive trainers in a friendly environment.
Negative experience: Youre expected to cancel your membership 30 days in advance. The fitness trainers are great, however, Justice, the opperations manager is timid in person but disgustingly rude on the phone. Not worth $350 a month
Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about SWEAT DC. They make working out fun, yet challenging. The coaches are supportive, fun, and make the gym feel like a home by building relationships amongst members. The owners are great people and are very supportive when we’ve had questions about membership. Highly recommend this gym!!
Fantastic experience: SWEAT DC in Washington offers high-energy workouts, motivating trainers, and a supportive community, making it a top fitness destination.
We’re glad you enjoy us here at SWEAT!
Fantastic experience: After almost ten months at Sweat I can say with absolute certainty that this gym is everything: challenging, inclusive, accountable, etc. It’s hard at first, but stick with them and the coaches will really help you achieve any physical or mental goals you set for yourself. Give them a try!
Matt! We have loved seeing your growth. Thank you so much for supporting the SWEAT team!
Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this place. I leave every single class feeling like conquered the day. All trainers are very knowledgeable, they hipe you up and offer help with exercises if needed. I 100% recommend, give it a try!
We appreciate you Alejandra! Keep killing it :)
Positive experience: Mixed feelings about Sweat. If you’re motivated by super high intensity workouts, this could be for you. I’m glad I came as a beginner when it was more chill- I learned a lot, liked the community, and conquered my fear of weight lifting. But the cons eventually outweighed the pros for me. I’d recommend trying it out with one off classes to make sure it’s right for you. I was a part of this gym for two years- 2021- fall 2023. But the vibe changed a lot in that time- from a welcoming but challenging environment with a variety of coaching styles to a high pressure, high intensity environment constantly pushing for more commitment and $ and eventually only one coaching style- super high energy yelling. They also in the process became less inclusive to people who weren’t already fit/ couldn’t hack the high intensity or sometimes odd movements in the workouts. Coaches were still able to modify if you asked- but near the end of my time they didn’t seem to understand why mods were needed. The structure of the workouts were rushed with incorporating HIIT and very little time for rest or stretching. For me this structure went from empowering and inclusive to really demotivating. They were also less receptive to feedback as time went on and got a bit shady with their membership and hiring practices, which was the last straw for me. Because of the high pressure, it may no longer be the best environment for someone who is very self conscious or has past health issues related to working out/ diet.
Thanks for your constructive criticism, Sarah! We will take your feedback into consideration.
Fantastic experience: Great place to work out. I was new to the whole workout thing and they made me feel welcomed. Great staff. Super friendly and helpful. Love this place.
We're glad that you had an amazing experience :)
Welcome Home!
Fantastic experience: The most welcoming gym community I’ve ever experienced. Positive vibes and knowledgeable staff have helped me gain strength, eat cleaner. I haven’t been happier since joining this gym. Nothing but positive vibes with such a thoughtful inclusive community. Join this gym and you will see your clothes fitting better, having more energy and becoming more confident. Oh did I mentioned my chronic lower back pain is now gone! I’ve done personal training and group classes. Both experiences were top notch and learned so much from both. I just wish I joined earlier, movement is medicine. There are folks of all ages, ability, strength and size. Their system works and is super fun!
We’re so glad you’ve enjoyed every bit of your SWEAT DC experience,
Justin! Welcome Home⭐️
Fantastic experience: Definitely worth your investment because you’ll actually want to go! Personal training here has been gratifying and challenging, and so tailored to my personality/preferences. Absolutely helps that the owners are lovely (and local) people! :)
We appreciate you Stacie, and we’re so glad that we’ve made fitness enjoyable for you!
Fantastic experience: Small business which genuinely cares about your gym experience and that you feel healthy, comfortable and confident.
Thank you Allegra! We are here to provide a comfortable gym space for everyone!
Fantastic experience: First time here and starlight showed NO mercy- it was amazing. 11/10. Your body will thank you
Thanks so much! We are glad you came in and crushed your workout.
Fantastic experience: Great Place
Thanks so much! We're glad you enjoyed, Rashad
Fantastic experience: Had an incredible first class at SWEAT DC through a work event. Our trainer, Tamar, was incredibly encouraging and positive. The workout was intense and covered both upper body and lower body which I appreciated. I will definitely be coming back to SWEAT DC!
Eric so glad to see you had a great experience. We love anytime we can share our passion with great folks. Can’t wait to see you soon
Positive experience: Overall a good class and place to work out. The vibe is intense and a tad overwhelming. Also I did lightly injure myself because the instructor pressured me into doing more than I knew I could. There’s no time built in for stretching in the class which was definitely not great for me. I think maybe don’t come here if, like me, you’re just starting or restarting your fitness journey.
Hey Erika! Thank you so much for your feedback. We are always trying to adjust and adapt to the needs of every person that walks into our doors. We will take your thoughts back to our team and make sure that we are addressing them moving forward. We'd love to have you back to try a different class if you're interested.
Fantastic experience: SWEAT DC is a community. It focuses on strength training with an emphasis on progressive overload. They’ve recently expanded their HIIT classes. Most group classes are held between 6-8am, 12 noon, and 5-7pm. In between those times, you can book a personal training appointment with talented male and female coaches. I’ve been extremely happy with Nina (Andreina) and I might reach out to Malika next! I’ve been coming here for about a year. I was new to strength training and weight lifting and I’m glad that I started with personal training to focus on form. Then I graduated to the classes. If you’ve done strength training before, you will likely be able to jump in feet first. I was scared to do that and I definitely would have been overwhelmed if I had tried to do classes only with no intro training first. What I love about SWEAT is that the staff here make an effort to know your name. That’s unusual anywhere. It’s also an intentionally super-inclusive gym, with rainbow and BLM flags proudly displayed. The SWEAT team has actively worked to build a wonderful community where everyone is welcome.
Cristina you have been a great asset to our SWEAT fam and we love watching you progress. Thank so much for being you
Fantastic experience: This is definitely a great workout place and the classes that they have here are awesome! I arrived here Saturday morning at 9am for my first visit, and the class was full. There was a class at am which was slightly late for me. definitely an interesting concept and I think that the instructors make all of the difference here. My plan now is to return tomorrow, this time coming early. This gym is happening!
Malchik so glad you popped in and we’re able to get strong with us looking forward to helping you hit all your goals.
Fantastic experience: Nice facility. Thank you :)
Patricia I’m glad you like the facility we designed it with love. Thanks for being part of the fam.
Fantastic experience: I travel for work for a few months at a time so I've tried many different gyms. Not that it shows. Anyway, there are 3 parts to why I love Sweat. 1. The coaches. The coaches are really friendly and are great about making you feel confident/comfortable with new types of exercises/weights. I've witnessed this with everyone, no matter your size or experience level. 2. The workouts. I love that their workouts are designed to prevent injury. The workout has a prep session to get you ready for the bigger part of the workout with similar movements. I think too many gyms lose sight on the importance of proper form preventing injuries. 3. The music. If I had one, i'd sell my first born to get access to their old school playlists.
Crystal thanks for popping in and lifting with us. And you are right the music matters glad you noticed
Fantastic experience: Amaze balls!!!
Haha we’ll take that. Love having you in the studio Angie. Can we say Amazing Angie
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff - great workout and better playlist
Thanks Yasmeen glad you love the workout and music we try hard to give you the best.
Fantastic experience: these workouts are fun and challenging - the way exercising should be! highly recommend taking classes with Sergio. he's extremely knowledgeable, high energy, has a great playlist to help you keep pumping, funny, and the best pilot to GAINS-ville!
Denisse you rock!!! Love having you here and love your energy. Gainnzzzzvilllll baby
Fantastic experience: SWEAT DC is a great group fitness studio that focuses on proper strength training. If you’re new to the gym space but want to start lifting, this gym will set you up for success. The coaches are awesome at what they do, the atmosphere is welcoming and encouraging! If you’re looking for a new home, where everyone will know your name and get strong at the same time…Sweat DC is it!
Joanne this warms my heart so much we appreciate you
Fantastic experience: I love starting my week at Sweat DC when I can. The classes are motivating, challenging, and help me feel more confident with weight training. Bonus that both the coaches and other class participants are so friendly and make sure everyone feels welcome and ready to do their best work. They've also been helpful with double checking my form when something didn't feel right. I have to walk two miles to get to Sweat and keep coming back because the energy is unbeatable.
Julia nothing like starting the week off right with a little SWEAT. Thanks for the love :-)
Fantastic experience: If you want an intense workout that will get you in shape quick, this is it. Great vibes, coaches, music, etc. Highly recommend. Suits various fitness levels, but even a college athlete wouldn't want to take more than one class a day.
Irene we love the vibes + some SWEAT
Fantastic experience: Great strength training gym! Energetic and welcoming instruction. Highly recommend.
Natalya thanks for the recommendation and thanks for your energy. See ya on the turf.
Fantastic experience: SweatDC is a super empowering, fun, and effective workout class. The instructors know what they’re doing and create a welcoming environment. I always leave filled with joy and energy!
Anne fun is what its all about right? We love that you work hard and have a ball while doing it :-)
Fantastic experience: This is an excellent place to workout. I've been coming for about a year and a half now and have noticed great results. The instructors are great, the music is lively, and the equipment is top notch. 100% recommend
Thanks so much for the review
Fantastic experience: Can’t say enough about the amazing and positive atmosphere of this gym. Coach G and all the trainers have created a welcoming and supportive environment for everyone!
Positive experience: I took my first ever class this past Saturday. Pros: Great music ! Instructor was inviting , did well with circulating the classroom, and encouraged participants to engage with one another. Tv visuals to see exercises. Cons: Parking is journey. There is only one bathroom. The workout seems to be premade and did not give many alternatives for individuals who are not beginners. I say this because the TV screens did not show progressions or regressions. Price point- I am current member of LifeTime and for the price point I have access to multiple gyms and alpha classes and it still would be more affordable. It was overall a good experience and it would take another free community class.
Thanks so much for coming through and bringing your fun energy for our free class.
Our community classes are training classes for newer coaches and allow us to give back and provide access to the our studio to everyone in the community.
So sorry if this wasn’t clear, but we encourage clients the flexibility to make any variations that fit their fitness level. Great feedback, we will work harder to make sure coaches give clearer regressions and progressions of the exercises.
We are more of a boutique studio so we aren’t trying to be lifetime or a big box gym. As always we want you to find the place that’s best for you and your health journey.
Hope you have an amazing day and thanks for the feedback.
Fantastic experience: Can’t say enough about the amazing and positive atmosphere of this gym. Coach G and all the trainers have created a welcoming and supportive environment for everyone!
Thanks so much for the review
Fantastic experience: SWEAT DC is the best gym in DC! I attended classes/intro sessions at 4 other gyms in the Petworth/Capitol Hill/Columbia Heights area when I first moved to DC before finding SWEAT, and I can say that there is no comparison! SWEAT DC has a great schedule of affordable classes - each class will keep you moving and your heart-rate up for the full class duration (other gyms I tried only had limited movement during the class, or were ridiculously expensive for only a few classes a month). I have been attending classes for almost a year now and I am stronger, more flexible, and have more endurance then when I began, to the point I am adding more weight to my workouts when I never thought I would! The instructors are also top notch - they know the gym members by name, pick great workout music, and are incredibly motivating. They push you to do your best, while adapting movements for you if you ask, without being pushy. I love their positivity and daily inspirations. Overall I am so glad I found SWEAT DC in my neighborhood!
Thanks so much for the review
Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed my experience at SWEAT DC. All coaches are very knowledgeable, encouraging and you can tell they want to help you achieve your goals.
Olme you have been getting stronger and stronger. We love having you in the house
Fantastic experience: The workouts are challenging, and the atmosphere is positive and inclusive. The coaches are proactive about providing amplifications/modifications and have great energy.
Fantastic experience: Amazing staff members who are very knowledgeable. You don’t feel out of place!
Thank you

Emily thank you so much for this amazing review we love having you. See ya in the SWEAT zone
Fantastic experience: sweat DC has and continues to get my improve my physical and mental health. They Ahec great team of coaches and the staff are very encouraging. Highly recommend.
Luizilda we love that you are gaining holistic health here bc that’s what we are about. Truly are grateful for your energy.
Fantastic experience: Fun spot to actually lift weights in a guided class. They demonstrate the moves and prep you for a good lifting session. Only way I can get stronger !
Rachel you rock and are getting strong AF! Thanks for sending the love
Positive experience: This is a damn good gym. I will say that I have not necessarily fell in love with every class, BUT i love the welcoming environment, texts, emails, website. The most negative thing I have to say about it is the location. The harassment getting to it is insane. There’s catcalling every time which is draining. I’m sure this isn’t their intention to make female customers feel unsafe but I do wish there were some security or something. My only other con is I wish there were classes that were specifically for intro people. My friend and I did a class today focusing on upper body but it was definitely not beginner friendly in our opinion. So we won’t do that class anymore. The HIIT classes tho.. those so far have been AMAZING & beginner friendly!!
Thank so much for coming through and being part of our community. Glad you overall enjoyed your experience.
We do offer ongoing free one on one consultations with a coach if you have any questions about class or want to know the best ways to navigate class as a beginner.
As far as the harassment we denounce any of this and have been in talks with our local representatives, but unfortunately have little control of what happens down the block. We do take every precaution we can to ensure all of our members safety.
Thanks for the review and hope to see you again soon.
Fantastic experience: Has the best trainers & music ever .
We love having you and the beats always matter
Fantastic experience: Enjoyed the session. Worked with vibrant group while receiving individual pointers. Will venture again
Thank you we think each person matters and our community feel does too. We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: I have been a member of SWEAT DC now since May 2021. I love this place dearly. Seriously challenging workouts with super supportive coaches and a great atmosphere that makes me feel like family. Worth every penny I spend on their “unlimited” membership. I go every weekday before work and never have trouble parking. I take a mix of their Sweat X (HIIT) and SSC (strength training with weights) and love having the flexibility to build my own schedule. I anticipate being a member for a long time to come!
Ali you are a shining star and really brighten up our community thank you for being you!!!
Fantastic experience: Great instructors that push you to focus on becoming the best version of yourself. I took two 60 minute classes and one 30 minute class - all were challenging but I loved the fast pace of the 30 minute class the most. We rowed, hit the ropes then worked our cores on the floor. #feelingstrong
Kara thanks so much we love having you.
Fantastic experience: I loveeeee this place. I don't like working out and they make it joyous, fun, and communal. I liked it so much I got in incredible shape over a summer and didn't realize I'd dropped so much weight and built muscle until I put on a pair of jeans. However, I stopped going because their prices went up and out of my budget.
Thank you so much Mo we loveeeee having you
Fantastic experience: I never write reviews but I came here to emphasize how awesome this space is! Coach G is a fun instructor who always challenges me every single time I take his class. I definitely feel like I get a fantastic workout in 45 minutes. The STRONG and HIIT classes are the TRUTH! Also, this is a small business and this is a small business worth supporting!
Thank you so much for this love we are great because of our community and people like you. See you soon in the SWEAT zone.
Fantastic experience: The class was very engaging and fast paced. It was a ton of fun and the instructor (Aaron) was really good. This was my favorite outdoors/remote class I've taken since studios shut down, and looking forward to going back next week!
Thank you Stella loved having you Aaron is a star can’t wait to have you back!
Fantastic experience: Always a physically challenging workouts. The friendly staff and diverse community keep you going, and the unique, hip workout space makes it fun! Plus, it’s reasonably priced with great membership and class pass deals.
We love dishing out the challenge and you're amazing for stepping up always. See ya soon
Fantastic experience: I love being a member at Sweat! The community feel is awesome, we've all got each other's backs. We're all here for the same reasons. The energy of the coaches and the staff, and the awesome music is what keeps me coming back! Keep up the good work!!
Love having you part of the fam
Fantastic experience: Went to their lower body HIIT class at Hook Hall. Was so fun, instructor was clear with directions& demos, movements were simple yet challenging, the music was high energy, we were safely socially distanced with separated tables, and the cutest dog came by to say hi! I'll be back on a regular !
Thanks lower boy day is tough feel proud
Fantastic experience: Results are amazing. Community feels really good. Classes and platforms are creative and constantly changing and evolving. The coaches really care about being there for us. Coach G, Eliza, Gabby, Nazinga, I could go on and on.
Ioana love having you in class and taking that extra effort. Cya next Saturday
Fantastic experience: I've already been recommending Sweat DC. I enjoy the quality of varied classes, the dedicated instructors and management team, the warm positive vibes and I always get a really GOOD sweat even if it's a low impact barre or Sculpt class.
Ashley we love love love having you in can't wait to see you soon
Fantastic experience: Love this gym. Great staff, high-energy, and difficult workouts!
Sarah your energy makes our job easy :-) Your heart keeps this place pumping. Thanks for the review!
Fantastic experience: This gym is great! What a gem. Gabby was a great instructor with so much energy. Would definitely come back and recommend to a friend.
We love Gabby she's amazing
Fantastic experience: Great workout, instructor, and space. I went on a Friday and they served happy hour after -- great, supportive, and friendly environment. Got to meet folks in my neighborhood, too, which was great.
Anais thanks so much we love a lil rose after a workout :-)
Fantastic experience: From personal training sessions to the variety of classes, Sweat DC is a true gem. Their entire coaching staff has such great energy, it’s contagious. The workouts will challenge you in a good way. I also love the music. Sometimes “workout” mixes leave you with corny versions of good songs, but not here. The low lights in class let you really focus on why you’re there , and bonus points that they’re a local small brand that welcomes everybody!
Whitney thanks so much you have really stuck with us for a long time and we appreciate it. Keep it up
Fantastic experience: I would give it more stars if I could. I’ve never been consistent about working out before SweatDC but I truly love it here and WANT to come to class. The classes are challenging but the coaches are encouraging, the community is welcoming, and the studio is beautifully inclusive.
Haley we love you its amazing burst of energy like you that make our community so great :-)
Fantastic experience: I love Sweat! The workouts are so intense and challenging, and I've gotten so much stronger in the last year! I started going to crosstrain for a half marathon and kept going waaaaay past the race. The space is so welcoming and body positive-- the instructors don't ever push weight loss, and keep the energy and positivity up. It's reaaaally LGBTQ friendly, and I feel really safe in the space. The front desk staff are so kind and helpful, and they really quickly learn your name. There's a challenge nearly every month that encourages you to make new friends (who are generally neighbors). While the workout structure is pretty consistent, they're always adding cool new things (sledgehammers! Rowing machines! EMOMs! Really hard core work!). Coach G is awesome, and his classes are so good, but honestly, all of the instructors are great-- I take most classes with Chris, Brendan, and Nazinga, but I honestly have enjoyed every instructor I've taken class from. I do recommend wearing earplugs because the music is a hair too loud-- they provide them, so no worries about remembering.
Love you too Aries
Fantastic experience: I love this gym! I've been a member for about 4 months and I feel like I finally found a place to keep me motivated. Everyone is very friendly, it feels like a community. I went from never using my WSC membership to showing up 4 days a week at Sweat DC. If you're looking for a neighborhood gym with a great class schedule and awesome instructors this is it! Ear plugs are provided free and I always use them since I find the volume a little loud. But that's really my only complaint.
Abbe thanks so much for the review we loved having you in our classes and part of our fam.
Fantastic experience: Excellent bootcamp style workout. Sarah is great. Motivating class and challenging. Yet not intimidating. All fitness levels are welcome. The facility is nicely appointed, complimentary towel service, even provide cool damp herbal infused towels after class!! Electronic lockers with charging stations inside. I will drop in every time I'm in town.
Arnice you have been killin the workouts and yes Sarah is a great morning cup of coffee.
Fantastic experience: I love this studio. It gives you an awesome workout (fast, challenging, different each time) with a professional instructor to show the moves and adjust your posture, in a fun, all-levels atmosphere. Will is the best!
Fun is one of our core values so yes we sweat it out :-) Thanks for being part of our community.
Fantastic experience: I attended SWEAT DC for about a month and a half. I mainly joined because of a deal/challenge they had provided unlimited classes for about a month. I am truly not one to workout consistently, but this motivated me to! Classes are fun and different and you really feel the workout. I never workout long enough or consistently enough to see results, but I did here! I wish I was still attending, but it got expensive for me (I'm a student!) plus, I am no longer in the DC area. I have definitely thought about my moments there and miss it. I highly recommend it for anyone who likes to do workouts with a lead and structure and challenge! I was a beginner here and I stuck it out!! It was so much fun doing it!
Marianne Thanks so much for being part of our tribe. We love our students did you know you can barter by working a shift at the front desk and getting a free class for each shift? Lets chat
Fantastic experience: SWEATDC is my favorite workout in DC. The instructors are incredible, studio is clean, and with the 45 minute HIIT circuit classes, you can always fit that into your schedule(there are early morning classes and several evenings ones too). The owner Coach G has such an infectious personality and welcomes everyone with open arms and a meaningful twerk! He cares so deeply for all his students, staff and each individuals personal health journey and progress. My favorite instructors are Sarah, Neechie and Nazinga, their music is always on point. When I am too tired to do another rep, I just dance around in place. The lights are low, music is catchy and since everyone is working out at the same time, there is no worrying that folks are watching my terrible looking burpees. If you are looking for an awesome place to workout in the judgement free zone, SWEATDC is your new home. You will likely see me there (in the mornings), I am the chunky black girl in the front...working out hard (dancing, singing) and sweating like crazy!!!!!
Sharlene thanks so much we love having you as part of our family
Fantastic experience: Really motivating experience that kicks my arse every time. Great community vibes. In just 45 min, you’ll really feel it! The instructors are all awesome too.
Thanks so much Melissa we love having you as part of the community
Fantastic experience: I have been a faithful member at SWEAT DC for over a year now and it is the best gym I've ever been a member of! Everyone, coaches and clients alike, are so friendly and really create an inclusive, accepting environment. The music is great and the workout classes are full of energy! I particularly like the addition of the STRONG classes - lifting heavy and watching myself get stronger is so rewarding.
Alicia we LOVEEEEE you and have even more strong classes in store.
Fantastic experience: I've done two 45-min full-body lessons with coach G. While the instruction goes quickly and I feel that I miss some details, overall coach G is very passionate and gives you personalized help. Highly recommended
Hey Joaquin thanks again. Have you tried our new small group class called semi private training? its limited to 8 people so we can give you more attention. Lets get you in there.
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym. I really like gabby’s classes, but the other one’s I’ve been to have been good too
Lindsay we heart gabby she's awesome thanks for coming through have you tried the new core class?

Fantastic experience: SWEAT DC is our favorite! Great workout, super supportive and fun community, good music and vibes. Can't recommend enough!
Paige so happy to have you as part of our fam. And best commute for you right :-)
Fantastic experience: Sweat DC is a great workout and community! The music is great and the instructors always make you feel like you can do the damn thing (even when you think you can't)! As a working parent, it's quick. I can get there, work out (parking is usually easy) and get back home all within a decent time frame. Check them out!
Fantastic experience: SweatDC gives you results without the attitude and scary instructors you find at other boutique HIIT studios in DC. No mean girls of any gender (you know who you are), no Bro-titude here. Instead, it provides a fun, yet intense, 45 minutes of cardio + strength training set to great music, where you're encouraged by instructors - and peers of all shapes, sizes, colors, genders, etc. - who are happy to be there. And unlike some other "globally branded" studios, it has showers, amenities, and staff who remember your name - like "Cheers," but with burpees instead of beer. If you want to find your long lost abs, this is the place to do it.
Thanks we love how hard you work in class and bring the noise :-). Keep it up
Fantastic experience: This place is crazy fun and always challenging, but more importantly it is welcoming and inclusive to all people, bodies, and fitness levels. Sweat DC is very near and dear to my heart, and it will be to yours too. The most common class structure is a 45-minute instructor-led boot camp-style workout. Whether you are a beginner or a fitness god, it will shred you in the best ways. There are always new kinds of classes to try as well, focusing on special techniques, themes, dance workouts and more. Their excellent locker rooms make it easy to roll in, sweat, get cleaned up, and get straight to work. This is the HIIT workout that you have been looking for, not to mention their special focus classes, running group, yoga, and so on. More important than all of that, they pay attention to building a community, getting to know everyone, making sure everyone is comfortable and included. This family atmosphere makes a big difference. The first week will definitely be the hardest, but it's so satisfying to see results when you keep it up. The classes are fun and they fly by, so it's perfect for people like me who hate working out but love the way it feels afterward. I get no points or perks for sharing this, I just truly believe in this place. Get in there and get your sweat on.
Thanks Chad miss your positive energy hope all is well
Fantastic experience: Wonderful location, polite and helpful staff and good amenities. If you are looking for a space with a variety of classes and an energetic feel Sweat DC is a perfect fit. I’ve never spent more than 5 minutes looking for parking and as a bonus there are healthy meal options within walking distance.
Super Marcella we love having you as part of the fam.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing fitness studio!! All of the instructors are really in the business of encouraging yet pushing you to become your stronger self. I have been going there since late January and I have loved it every since. SWEAT DC is highly recommended!
Christina you are the diamond that brightens each class. We love coaching you :-)
Fantastic experience: I LOVE SWEAT DC! I can't afford a membership so i only go to classes here and there, mostly through classpass. I have really enjoyed every one. They're tough but well designed and the pump up music and party lighting really motivates me and makes it fun. Great group of people, great location. It's somehow not "boutiquey" or "culty" the way some other alternative workout places can feel. I really feel great when I'm at Sweat DC (and sore afterwards).
Rachel thanks so much for the review. We work hard to keep pricing competitive in the DC market. You can barter the front desk an hour an get a class for each shift. Also for any referral you do that becomes a member you get 5 free class credits. Love to cya in the SWEAT zone
Fantastic experience: The atmosphere is electric! I try to start my weekday mornings here in the 6:15 class. Love the instructors and the challenging but modifiable exercises. The gym community is unlike any I've experienced at other gyms....Coach G makes everyone feel like family!
Sarah you are family love having you and we miss you while you are away for the next couple years. Stay in shape :-)
Fantastic experience: SWEAT DC is an AMAZING full body workout with great instructors who always have high energy, positive attitudes, and passion for what they do. They offer a wide range of classes for whatever you are looking for. The instructors are very accommodating if you have an injury or need a modification for any reason. The members are very friendly and offer a "community" experience every time you go. Not to mention the studio is always spotless and smells great (very important in gym). Branden Allen is one of their best trainers, although they are all amazing. GREAT GYM!
Thanks Becky! All of us contribute to the vibe keep up the moves :-)
Fantastic experience: I used to struggle with feeling comfortable at a gym or in fitness spaces, because I didn't play sports growing up and felt I lacked basic information. SWEAT DC changed that narrative for me, as I saw people with all different body types and abilities in class. The trainers are always watching to make sure we have good form and offer modifications when needed. I absolutely love coming into SWEAT and getting stronger with the SWEAT community.
We are so happy that you love SWEAT! You are living proof of conquering anything you put your mind to :)
Fantastic experience: I LOVE Sweat DC! It’s everything I was looking for in a gym. It feels like a personal training session in a group setting. The coaches and front desk staff are top notch- they’re supportive, encouraging, and just really nice people. They know your name and take the time to establish personal connections. I enjoy the workouts (they’ve pushed me to work harder than I ever have) and can already feel mental and physical changes in 6 weeks. I like the Sweat DC routine and how it’s the same each class but the exercises change and there’s fun equipment to use too. I didn’t think I would like having to schedule/sign up for each class but it has actually forced me to be more consistent with my workouts and establish self discipline with going on days even when I don’t feel like working out (afterwards I’m always glad that I went!). Thank you Sweat DC for the opportunity to be my best self and of course, get sweaty! ;)
Alex WE LOVE LOVE LOVE having you. Keep up the great work and thanks for making our community what it is.
Fantastic experience: Jonas and Rico are the best!!! Such a ground-breaking and phenomenal fitness class! It’s fun! It’s sexy! And I work up a really great sweat with an uplifted spirit to match! I can’t wait to come back! Also, I loved the dog as the co-host and the innovativeness and beauty of the facility. The staff was really friendly, too!
Yes give it up for the get down. Thanks for coming through
Fantastic experience: Literally my FAVORITE Place! I've been a monthly unlimited member since October 2017 and have never regretted the choice. Why do I love this place so much? It's the energy, the music, the no judgements, the trainers, the members, and the workouts...yes, even the hard ones. I leave here feeling stronger after each workouts. It's a personal training experience but with a group of people. Even in a class of 20 you still receive personalize help! I have my personal favorite instructors because of my music choice BUT regardless, EACH and EVERY instructor is AMAZING!!! They have created a place that celebrates success, great or small! Wellness and fitness come in all sizes and SWEAT reminds you that they are here to help you #sweatoutsidethebox so don't be afraid to get a little sweaty! :) NOTE: I have never taken their dance classes (dance isn't for me) BUT I have heard amazingly good things about John & Rico's GET DOWN.
We miss you Kavonna thank you so much for the positive energy you always spread.
Fantastic experience: Best gym. Classes are great and different, but the real deal is the personal training. I am doing things I never thought I could. Highly recommend. G is the best.
