Cut Seven is definitely one of my go-to workouts (Arlington location). I'm a person who likes to be pushed to their limits (which is why I do classes as opposed to solo workouts) and Cut always does that. There is street parking next to the studio and usually pretty readily available. The workouts are always varied/creative and the facility is nice. It's a mainly partner based workout, circuit style with lots of different and fun formatting. The coaches are knowledgeable, motivating, and fun (shoutout to my faves Alex, Bri, and Clarence!). Highly recommend Cut if you're looking for a circuit style workout! read more

I had a time scheduled and they didn't have anyone there, like the building was closed. What's the point of scheduling a time if you're not going to staff properly? read more

This is just what I needed in DC I have been to both the indoor studio and the outdoor turf area for classes. I love the team based approach to the classes and each day is dedicated to a certain muscle group. This is a very fast paced class which makes it fun and interesting. The instructors are highly motivational and help guide you and give you any tips in the movements. The movements are unique and different and will have you sweating and gasping for air at the end of class. A great and new and unique gym in DC and love the outdoor space that is provided! read more

Getting back into group fitness after a year in a pandemic can be certainly daunting, and I was a little overwhelmed by how challenging Cut Seven looked. I started at the open air studio off 14th and was impressed at the time with the care and caution the management and instructors were taking to ensure a safe yet still tough workout. Since then, as restrictions have changed, they now are back at the indoor studio with vaccinated-only classes. If you're not comfortable going indoors just yet, the open air studio and Union Market rooftop are still available for the time being. Cut Seven markets itself as an athletic conditioning and strength training studio and they really nail the concept on the head. The class starts with demos of each of the stations (there are usually 3, and you cycle through them 2X), before moving onto dynamic mobility (so important!) and brief cardio warmup. The classes are programmed in advance and what I like is that they don't promote doing a double/back-back workout because you should feel physically expended at the end of the class. All the coaches are knowledgable, motivating, and engaging. Every one of them has a high level of understanding of the movements and what muscles you should be working, provides modifications and adjustments while still keeping great energy. I highly recommend Amelia (she REALLY knows her stuff and is such a fantastic coach) but you seriously will not go wrong with any of the instructors! The community, from the staff/captains to the clients act like a team, and provides the much needed camaraderie to power you through one of the toughest workouts in DC. Some of the stations are team-based which adds to that camaraderie, and it definitely creates a welcoming and motivating atmosphere to workout in. As a grad student, I would love to see a student membership; however, I'll be continuing to come here so long as I can! read more

Why suffer alone when you can suffer as a community? Okay, I admit that the word suffer is a bit of an exaggeration, but if you feel like exercise is pain before the endorphins, then this is what you get. The best type of suffering you can get while your fellow classmates cheer you on. I came here to try their 7 for 7 deal, which adds up to $49 for 7 classes which do not have to be taken consecutively, and after finishing the class package, I can say that I do appreciate the support, camaraderie, and variety of each class. I highly recommend heart day- it is unbearable in the best way possible, and I left my last class feeling strong. The workouts work like this: - An overview of each workout station where you switch spots with a partner - Running, bear crawling, burpeeing as you complete laps around the workout area for 15 minutes - Completing each station twice as you move around the circuit - Another type of partnered workout (usually) - Lots of sweaty high fives What really makes this place stand out is that they offer half off deals on their website for the less crowded classes which a lot of boutique gyms around DC do not provide. It is also a huge perk that they offer classes at a wide variety of times. The only reason that I cannot offer them a full 5 is that they go by very quickly on what each station entails (and for someone like me, I cannot seem to keep up with this information especially since it is during the beginning of class). Nonetheless, you get what you paid for- community and a solid workout. read more

I've changed up my nutrition and have started going to cut 4x week and have seen results: lost 16.5 lbs since June!

I agree with the other review about the noise. After several notes asking to cut down the screaming, the loud music and the clapping I keep getting the same "thanks, we're within decibel levels, but we're looking into a solution. " Then no change. For a family run, neighborhood gym they sure don't seem to care about the families or neighbors who live here. Simply asking that super loud female trainer to quit screaming all morning would be a good start. read more

I live in the "Garrison neighborhood" where Cut Seven does some of their outdoor classes and I started going for that reason. I absolutely love it. The coaches are encouraging and very up-beat. They are in really good shape which is motivating. The workout is challenging with exercises that change everyday. The coaches demo each station before the warm-up and are super helpful during the workout if you forget anything. I feel that they take feedback very seriously and care about everyone in class, Garrison and the neighborhood as well. They have also done fundraisers for the school's families during COVID. read more

I've been to this cut seven location a few times with the times my trainer was Amelia. Overall the experience was great and I appreciated that the cut seven instructor took time to talk with me before my first class! I will cut seven a five out of five for this because I think this is their standard practice. In addition to this I appreciated that the Amelia really took the time to check in with and ensure that I was doing some of the moves correctly (so that I would not hurt my back)! As my first group fitness experience in dc, I was very pleasantly surprised and impressed by this experience. I first booked using a special promo $49 for 7 classes (so $7 for 7) and later using ClassPass! I'm a big fan of this location! read more

This review is long overdue. I went to a 9/17 @ 7:30pm class with Mere. The location is easy to find. Parking is relatively easy. There was a crowd of people as soon as I walked in, but there was a guy who immediately assisted me. I'm glad he was there. The crowd was a tad overwhelming as a newbie. He gave me the run down and mentioned to say in the back during the warm up. I pride myself on being relatively fit, so I shrugged him off. Oh my gawd. I was gasping for air after the warm up. I am glad I listed to the guy's advice. lol The workout was tough, but realistic. Mere's instructions were great, including her ability to work the room. The turf floor was a little odd, but it wasn't a complete turn off. I can't wait to go back. read more

I took 2 classes and enjoyed them both! Cut Seven is a new gym in Logan Circle specializing in team-based sports condition. Think of the work out as how athletes train for strength! I like how small the classes are (16 usually), how fast-paced the work-out is and especially how they list on the website which day is which. They have great music to motivate you throughout the workout! Cons: expensive ($350/month unlimited), faux turf field is cool but is annoying when you do so many push-ups and burpees and if you are a fitness-junkie, then you can do all of the moves yourself at a gym without paying $350/month. Also make sure to stretch/warm-up before you go in the room because there isn't an opportunity to do so. In overall, it's a good workout that I will do once a month when I am bored with my current routine. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Cut Seven. The community is amazing, the coaches are motivating and extremely helpful. I have never worked out at place like Cut Seven, it is incomparable. Looking forward to trying many more classes. read more

Cut Seven may be a great fitness group but they are very poor neighbors. Those of us that have the misfortune to live near one of their outside classes are regularly awakened at 6am, 7am and 8am by screaming voices and loud music. The neighborhood has approached Cut Seven several times about the noise. The response has always been a polite "Yes, we will keep it down." That usually lasts for a day or two before the volume and screaming creeps up again. To be fair, it isn't every instructor...but the worst offenders seem to teach the earliest classes. Cut Seven, I get the need for exercise help during these bizarre times, I am a gym-goer myself, but please for the love of god don't provide it at the expense of the neighborhood! read more

Best workout in DC if you're into HIIT/circuit training. It's the hardest workout I've done (in a good way) since playing sports. The structure is efficient and a good combo of both cardio and strength training. Not to mention, everyone is super friendly - coaches and class goers alike. They'll make you feel welcome and remember your name, which is rare for city gyms. As a newcomer, I didn't know about their policy that your spot in a class can be given away if you're late, which I learned the hard way, but the owners went above and beyond to make up for my missed class. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

I have been going to CutSeven since shortly after it opened. I have a really hard time finding something to knock it down to 4 stars. The workouts are intense and very well balanced to work the body parts that are highlighted each day. The team concept is a refreshing change from the other workout studios in the area. It also helps form a big more social aspect around the classes, which I enjoy. The coaches are all top-notch and I have not been to any class that did not have the moves explained well. Last but not least, the music is killer and the atmosphere is great. read more

Legit, one of best workouts I've ever had. Cut seven was a great experience from start to finish. I got a warm greeting from a staff member. She showed me around a bit. My instructor, Kasia, was really energetic, kept us motivated, and did a great job of explaining the workouts. The workout itself was cool. The team based approach really makes for an interesting dynamic and doesn't give you a chance to slack off or coast. Good music. Good vibes. Highly recommend. read more

From the owners to the trainers, this gym is amazing. You feel like family when you walk in the door. The boot camps are well thought out and it is fairly easy to follow along. The coaching staff does a great job of motivating and encouraging you throughout the workout. Beautiful location and very chic! read more

I took the 2 classes start pack last week and will purchase more. Cut Seven is a team-based approach to HIIT. The beginning cardio sequence is tough but unique. For the strength portion of the workout, each class focuses on two muscle groups. You will break into small groups and go through a 4 circuits, each consisting of two moves, twice, with a short water break in between. The class ends with a paired set of two moves. The staff is welcoming and encouraging. The owners are excellent at explaining each move and correcting you if needed. You will feel supported, not singled out. This studio attracts a diverse crowd. Everyone will feel welcomed here. read more

Endorphin junkies: look no further for your fix. Incredible, supportive community + dynamic, never boring workouts = you've never felt anything like this before. Warning: highly addictive!! read more

If you live in or are visiting DC and are looking for both a fantastic workout and an AMAZING community of people, look no further than Cut Seven. I am a Bostonian fitness freak who is frequently in DC and took my first class at Cut Seven on Thanksgiving. Walking into this place could have been SO intimidating (I was the only person in the class I took who was new), but the other participants were SO friendly and everyone went out of their way to be nice and supportive. This class provides a "team" atmosphere for completing a super hard (yet totally scaleable) workout. You will give out and get more high fives than in any class I've ever taken, and leave feeling not only like you got a great workout, but that you want to run through a wall with all your new friends. Chris, the owner, was SUCH a great coach - the workout was safe/effective and FUN. I woke up the day after class (today) feeling like I'd been hit by a truck in the BEST WAY POSSIBLE. If I lived here, I'd LIVE at this place. I only wish he'd open one in Boston. read more
