Balance Gym Foggy Bottom, Washington DC

The reception staff is extremely friendly and professional.complete and well-stocked gym with numerous platforms offering a variety of exercises.on the other hand, dumbbell users (especially on the cross fit floor) do not respect the calm and concentration of other users of the gym.
For example, they shout and throw (or deliberately drop) the dumbbells on the ground, which generates an extremely loud, unpleasant and recurring noise for the peace and quiet of this room.
It's a shame, and in the future I will go to another place.
However, the staff is very efficient

Do NOT leave your credit card number with these people. Worst administration ever, now I understand why this is the least expensive CrossFit service in DC. I tried to freeze my membership for 1 month (first time I try in 4 years I have been in the gym). Sent an email to the address they have, no response. Wrote about 10 emails to other 3 email accounts they have, called by phone, went in person to the front desk, and no confirmation about my freeze. They only said “if you write an email, they will handle it”. After 3 weeks, they charged my card. I was so frustrated, reached help from a coach (coaches are very nice and have nothing to do with this terrible administration), and someone finally answered and returned my money. It doesn’t end here. I asked to delete all my credit card information and cancel my membership. Guess what, after 1 month, they tried to charge my card again. Thank God I had changed my card after the experience. But what a waste of time and energy.

Always like my gym. Small but friendly. Adequate equipment and very clean.

Update: dropped 2 stars. They are having a pretty bad problem of towels lately. Most of the time, the towel shelf is empty. The guests start hoarding towels because of that which made things worse. The man's shower stalls also have drainage problem. It seems after covid things are getting bad.

Miss D and Sanaz were excellent in making me feel welcome at the gym. It is a small gym compared to a suburban one. However, it is really utilized the space well and everything is intentionally placed so you can work out without bumping into a neighbor. I was most interested in the pool and liked the Splish Splash mural because it really brighten the area.

I trained with Liz here using the proven results plan and it was the best personal training experience I’ve ever had. She’s such an amazing trainer— she constantly checked in with me, pushed me just the right amount so I’d feel challenged but not defeated, and was super kind, punctual, and responsive! Because of my prior gym experiences, I used to think going to the gym was only worth it if I left the building on the brink of life and death but training with Liz, I learned that it’s totally possible to sweat out but still feel energized & be eager to go on with the rest of the day:) Other staff members like Michael and Paul have been super helpful and responsive too. Due to my own personal circumstances there have been some complications with my account but they helped me through it very efficiently. As for the facilities, it’s very well-maintained: super clean, nice shower facilities, spacious locker rooms, and never too crowded.

Excellent low key facility with full compliment of equipment and well staffed.

Excellent gym! I would love if you had more hours available for crossfit
