Onelife Fitness Capitol Hill, Washington DC

A cavernous space on the edge of Capitol Hill with every piece of equipment any athlete could need. The gym is housed inside an old school house, but creatively stocked with workout rooms. The space is very clean and the staff are reasonably friendly. It’s also priced well. Give this a look if you’re visiting and need a sweat or if you live in DC and looking for a change of venue.

This gym continues to hang in there and provide an energetic, committed team to facilitate my workout goals. Hit hard by the pandemic, but coming back strong!

Great staff! The facility is very well managed by Ryan and Team. The entire Staff is professional and helpful. The Locker Room Attendant, Ms. Jenny is well trained and is especially kind and extremely accommodating. She displays pride in her job and is very serious about the safety and cleanliness of the Spa area, lockers and surely the equipment. She speaks kind words about the Leaders and demonstrates a high level of pride and loyalty to the Club Members and her Team Members. She is a Gem, which makes her a magnificent asset to the Leadership Team. The success of this Club is definitely displayed by the genuine level of respect, cleanliness, security, safety and overall Team and Club Member honest and fair commitment to every person that enters the facility.

Lastly, “Ease” of parking and proximity to the entrance is convenient.

When I was living in Washington, D. C. Sport and Health was a great place to train. I thought the gym had a lot to offer in regards to workout equipment and spaces to workout. There are three levels that each offer something different.

Specifically I want to acknowledge Razonte Dunn (Raz) who was great to work with. I've been playing professional football for 8 years and am particular in who I want to train with. After my orientation with Raz for explosive performance training I knew he was a great fit and the best I could find in the D. C area. He is really thorough in helping you set personal goals and creating a program around them.

In the year working with Raz I made significant improvements in mobility, quickness, and explosiveness which we set out to do. If you're an athlete a lot of the drills and exercises Raz takes you through are transferable to the field or court. If you're just looking to get stronger, faster, and in better shape Raz will help you get there. The best thing about working with Raz is the positive energy he brings every day and that he truly cares about his clients.

Monday morning 9: 30am yoga class teacher never showed up. Front desk couldn’t get in touch with the manager and didn’t know the teacher’s contact info. So 10+ people just sat there and waited, I left after about 20 minutes. This is super annoying, not to mention all the last minute class cancellations.

Spacious and clean gym with multiple floors and all the equipment you need. The staff is friendly and welcoming on every visit, which creates a great atmosphere. Also, the classes I've taken are awesome!

This review is specific to Razonte and his semi-private Explosive Performance (EP) Class.

I have been taking Raz's EP class once a week for about 4 months and can see a real difference in my strength, how I talk to my body and my confidence in using free weights and the weight room. In total, I have lost about 20 pounds, and Raz's class and his wealth of knowledge absolutely was the catalyst. I have been a life-long fitness class attendee, and when Covid hit, I felt far more lost than I expect as I tried to come up with a consistent workout plan. As gyms in the area open back up I knew I needed to learn the basics of a weight room from a professional. Enter Raz.

I couldn't afford personal training, but I could afford EP. I met with Raz and we talk about my goals, and after reviewing the body scan metrics, talked about realistic expectations and set a plan. Sure, the body scan said I needed to lose about 40lbs, but Raz said to me, "Realistically, where can you make small changes in your life that you can maintain to start to move towards whatever goal you have first? That is where we start". I still felt the fun, competitive aspect of group fitness, but I learned the correct form and how much weight I could really throw around, and saw a bunch of non-scale victories that I am very proud of.

I think Raz's personality has a lot to do with my success. Each person in the class gets told what weight they should grab for each new movement and each person is getting personally coached or cheered on. You don't feel that lapse of attention, no matter how many people are in the class. There are times when he will push you because he knows you can do more, but never in a way where you feel like you are being yelled at or being called out. He listens to you, offers alternative movements before you have to remind him of your injuries, and all the while picking up on how you like to be motivated. From there he leans in to create a safe space for you to work hard (and it is hard) and push yourself to hit your goals.

I want to give 5 stars to Raz, one of the trainers. I’ve been working out with him in his group classes and it’s been a great experience. He is super enthusiastic and always plans engaging and effective workouts. He is a great motivator. If you are ready to push yourself, he’s the trainer for you.

Razonte Dunn is a very good physical trainer with Capital Hill Sport & Fitness. He keeps me motivated during the hour long sessions. We work on different balance & strength routines.

This is a review of Razonte (“Raz”) Dunn for personal training services.

I highly recommend training with Raz and strongly believe he is the best personal trainer in the DC Metro area. I’ve been training with Raz for almost two years and he has taken me from being in-pain and out-of-shape to being pain-free and extremely fit. His coaching goes well beyond the training sessions: he provides nutrition advice, motivation, and workouts for when you’re not training with him. If you want to achieve your fitness goals, you must hire Raz.

Great gym and great trainers. I have been using gym since its opening. I am now 81 (yes, I know, old). Have been training for several years with Razonte Dunn. He may be exceptional at training high performing athletes, but he also has a special gift for taking everyone seriously and taking them to the highest level they can achieve. He not only knows the mechanics of training, he communicates a desire to make you succeed that is contagious. This experience has been life-changing.

This review is in regards to the Explosive Performance program. I have been working with Razonte for years now and the results not just physically but mentally has been fantastic and why I have stuck with it so long. I am one who does best with workouts when I am told what to do and have someone watching, but a personal trainer is out of budget. EP class gives me that need in training but is within my budget.

Raz is the best and the main reason I have continued taking the class and still a member at the gym despite moving further away. He is beyond knowledgeable in workout and nutrition and then encourages along the way. Over the past few years he has helped me get stronger and in better shape since I was in my 20s. I have accomplished things I never thought I could.an unassisted pull-up! I was struggling to lose weight and now have lost close to 40lbs over last few years and have kept it off! If I ever have an injury or concern he helps modify exercises. Even on non-class days if I see him he is pushing me and giving me ideas of what I should be working on. I see him do that with everyone at gym, even members who aren't clients. There are days I have come to class mentally struggling and by the end I feel recharged and in much better mood. I can't thank Raz enough for all he's done for me!

The EP program as a whole is great under Raz's leadership. I've worked with Tyler and Drew and they are excellent trainers! The other members in the class are always great and we help each other get thru these challenging classes! Can't recommend these classes enough!

Love Sport and Health. The gym staff are always friendly and the gym equipment is in good shape. I've trained with Raz for a while now and he's been an excellent trainer getting me in great shape.

I've been a member of Capitol Hill Sport & Health for over a year now along with the semi-private Explosive Performance (EP) Class.

My trainer Razonte has been phenomenal in getting me back in shape and building more muscle than I've ever had before. At first, I struggled to finish the hour training sessions that I did once a week. But he encouraged me to keep at it and suggested several workouts that I could do on my own on the days I didn't have a EP class. Now, I am able to work throughout an entire session and have increased my classes from one a week to two.

If you put in the work and time with Raz, you will notice a difference in your energy level, your strength and overall health. Every few months, we do a check-in to see how much progress we made and I personally have seen my body-fat percentage decrease and my muscle-mass increase over time.

While Raz will push you to work hard, he is cognizant of peoples' limits and abilities, prioritizing one's health. He's also a funny and great guy, who gives out constant encouragement and will hold you accountable.

In my opinion, the price for the semi-private classes is worth it. You get to workout with a small group of people and you will definitely notice results if you put the time and work in.

The gym itself is clean and has all the equipment you will need. The staff is friendly and encouraging to everyone who comes. Highly recommend being a member and taking Raz's sessions.

It's a good gym! Lots of equipment and levels so it's kind of spread out and the locker rooms are nice. I will say that the equipment doesn't seem that new and some machines could use some upgrades/repairs (things like the fans don't work on them) but overall I've always enjoyed all the times I've been here!

Love this place and have been going for years. Lots of room, trainers are great (if you want to use them), changing areas are large and clean, and price is reasonable. I don't do classes but do love that they have a counterweighted dip and pull up machine. They also have parking! Great neighborhood resource.
