I've been attending Jerry Hill's crossfit for a little over 5 months now, and I have to say I can't…read moreimagine a better crossfit experience. I'm going to assume if you're searching for reviews of crossfit gym you already know what crossfit is, but if you don't check out www.crossfit.com Crossfit, "forging elite athletes", can be very intimidating to those who aren't used to being the alpha male or female. However, at CFOT the main interaction is friendly support, not competition. For example, today we were finding our 3 rep deadlift max. I was attempting 285, and Jerry knew that this was going to be tough, so he started firing up others to cheer me on as I attempted what I thought was the impossible. This is also an example of the great coaching at CFOT, Jerry and the assistant coaches are always paying attention to what is going on in the gym, and are always quick to point out what you're doing right and what you're doing wrong, but in a supportive manner. I think what I like about CFOT most is the emphasis on safety first. The friendly staff create an environment where even the most self-conscious person feels comfortable enough to exercise at a weight that is good for him or her, and not be concerned with what others are doing. More proof that CFOT is a welcoming place is the number of women who attend. Sometimes the women outnumber the men, sometimes I'm the only dude there in a class of 15! Mind you, these aren't women who look like they're juicers or anything, they're just regular people, and if they feel comfortable learning the push-jerk, deadlift, strict press, etc., I think anyone will feel get over their fear of crossfit. In the five months of attending CFOT, I've become stronger than ever before, more defined than ever before, and simply in the best shape of my life right now. I can not wait to see where I stand after a year of this.

I had the pleasure of dropping into CrossFit Old Town twice while on my trip to D.C. Let me just…read moresay that the hospitality and friendliness of the staff and members were the best I've ever experienced as a visitor! Not only did the coach take time to get to know my personal CrossFit history, but many members introduced themselves and really made me feel at home. The class itself was well ran with a thorough warmup and review of movements, excellent coaching for efficiency and safety, and great energy. I cannot think of one area in which I'd give this gym anything short of 5-stars! (For context, I've been doing CF for nearly 6 years and I also have my Level 1 certificate). Well done, CrossFit Old Town. Keep up the great work! If I'm ever back in this area, I'll definitely drop in again!

I signed up for the one week trial and had a great time! I was only able to attend four classes,…read morebut enjoyed each one. The instructors were really helpful and gave me some modification options. It would probably help to have some background knowledge of common lifts, but the instructors show the movements and they play on video screens if you need it. Everyone attending was generally in their own zone, so there isn't a lot of chatting because you really focus on getting the exercises done in the set times. I will say that the classes go by super quickly because you're always moving. Cons: The programming is set for the whole month. So each day of the week has its set program and you do that each week for the whole month. For me, this would get old (I really need variety). On the plus side, it does mean you get to see active gains throughout the month. The membership plan is a little pricey. I get why it costs so much, since they do have to cover rent and you only really attend during the class sessions. It isn't a type of gym where you just drop in when you want to use certain equipment. The unlimited monthly membership is $299, but in reality you are getting 30 or 31 classes depending on the month. Since the classes are the same all day, it is unlikely you would do two classes in a day, right? So the pricing is about $10/class if you do the unlimited monthly pass and you go every day. Some of the equipment was pretty smelly. I was at one station that honestly made me gag a little... I think the bench or maybe the dumbells had never been thoroughly cleaned with a bleach solution.

The equipment…read moreis clean, the gym is well-maintained, and I truly enjoyed working out here while I was living in DC. Unfortunately, the membership and cancellation process completely ruined the experience for me and left me feeling like the business operates in a very predatory way. Before signing up, I explicitly told the employee helping me that I was only living in DC temporarily and would be moving out of DC at the beginning of the summer. I made this very clear because I did not want to accidentally get locked into a long-term contract while living somewhere short-term. I specifically asked what would happen when it was time for me to move, and I was told that cancelling the membership would be simple and "no problem." At absolutely no point during that conversation was I clearly informed that there would be a major early cancellation fee tied to the membership. Had someone transparently explained that cancelling early could cost me $149, I would never have signed up for this membership in the first place. Looking back, I honestly feel like the employee who signed me up was far more concerned about making a sale and getting his commission than actually helping me choose a membership that fit my situation and needs. I was upfront from the beginning that my stay in DC was temporary, yet I was still pushed into a long-term commitment that clearly did not make sense for someone in my circumstances. After moving and reaching out to cancel, the experience became incredibly frustrating. Instead of the "simple" process that had been described to me when signing up, I was suddenly told I needed to provide documentation proving my move and still pay a cancellation fee unless they decided to reduce it. That felt extremely misleading considering the circumstances had been disclosed from day one. To make matters worse, trying to contact corporate/customer service has been a complete nightmare. Emails regularly go unanswered for days at a time, communication is incredibly slow, and the entire process feels intentionally difficult and drawn out. There were even initial delays because the employee who signed me up entered my email incorrectly into the system. However, despite being told that the issue had been corrected, I still continued experiencing long periods without responses to my emails afterward. I have specifically had issues receiving timely responses from Jacob Kass, Karolin Nilsson, and Alex throughout this process, which has only added to the frustration. What is especially frustrating is that I am STILL in the middle of trying to cancel this membership over a month later. A cancellation process should not take this long or require this much back-and-forth communication just to resolve something that I was originally told would be "no problem." This entire process has been exhausting and unnecessarily stressful. What bothers me most is not even the money itself. It is the lack of transparency during the sign-up process combined with how difficult the cancellation process becomes afterward. If a customer openly tells your staff they are only in the city temporarily and asks about cancelling when they move, that is the exact moment when the contract terms and cancellation penalties should be very clearly explained. Instead, I was reassured that it would not be an issue, only to later find out that I was locked into a twelve-month commitment with expensive penalties attached. I do not recommend this gym to anyone. It is run in a way that I believe is a disservice to its customers. A nice facility does not make up for misleading membership practices, poor communication, and a cancellation process that feels intentionally difficult. This entire experience has been exhausting, frustrating, and deeply disappointing. - Sophie Nduati

Now, as far as staff some members can be very dismissive and passive when it comes to the members who pay and their guest. There's an older lady in the front who works directly with guest who is very difficult to get a long with at times. This can be very off putting when you're trying to get a good workout in or just enjoy good vibes at the pool. I would recommend some sort of training on how to sharpen up some of the workers customer service skills to brighten up the experience. Overall 6/10.
