One size does not fit all and they think that is the case. One of the exercises was to jump up and grab a bar Above my head and if possible, which it absolutely was not, do a pull-up. I jumped up grabbed the bar and I hung there and that was perfectly fine, or so I thought. I am not the expert nor do I have the educational background that they do and they should have never let me do that because as a direct result, I have a torn rotator cuff, which is excruciatingly painful and is preventing me from doing anything. So be careful don't assume or trust that these trainers take your experience level into consideration they don't ask questions they plug and play. ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL

Diana was amazing and really took her time to help me with my form and confidence before I stared joining classes. All the instructors helped me scale the workouts and increase my resistance and strength. In less than a year I feel amazing--stronger and able to go out for runs! And as a bonus I lost 20 pounds. Thank you Cross Fit Bethesda!! Would highly recommend this gym.

I cannot say enough superlative things about this gym. I started CrossFit (and for that matter,…read moreserious training in general) roughly 4 months ago, at 54, and found not only an excellent and practical workout that met me at my somewhat limited level of fitness, but that has already considerably helped my overall strength and mobility. Jara MacDermott, specifically, is an outstanding trainer and coach. She strikes an ideal balance between meeting clients where they are, while knowing when and how to thoughtfully push them toward becoming both physically stronger and more confident. The gym that she has created reflects, I think, her character perfectly: a place that offers challenges, kindness, inclusion, and fun.

I've been attending the gym since late August of 2013 and I have to say that it is possibly one of…read morethe best things I could have done for myself. To start the members at the gym are incredibly supportive and are constantly working to build one another up. Many make plans to spend time with one another outside of the gym, and encourage members to live active and healthy lives. I am not originally from the Montgomery County area and the gym has given me greater sense of community. You want an insanely good workout that is fun and gives you a sense of accomplishment?! You will absolutely get it here. I have always considered myself an athlete, but my first Crossfit workout at the gym was an eye opener. You will be pushed to your limits and beyond. The coaching staff are incredibly supportive and knowledgeable. They are willing to put in the extra time to help you improve and are constantly walking around checking form. The last thing they want is for someone to injure themselves. If for some reason you do have an injury or movements that are difficult for you to do they will take the time to help alter workouts for you, or give you other options. One of the things I love most about the gym is the wide range of age groups. We have members that are in their early 20s to members in their 60s. It's fun to work out with such a huge range of people and see everyone improving regardless of where they started. This place is my second home. I can't imagine my week without it and the people that make up the community.

The coaches and fellow members make a supportive community that both motivates and inspires. They offer a multitude of classes plus open gym times. The space is large and well equipped with space for running outdoors, tire flipping, and sled pushes.

I wanted to share how grateful I am with being a part of soldier fit. I was looking for a place to…read morework out and really was serious about getting fit. This was the place for me. A few pros and cons below: Pros: - great workout instructors (Ericka is one of the best, she takes her time to show the workout and correct positioning to get the best results. Most of the instructors are good at this, but especially her!) - everyone there is serious about working out! So it's like you have a group supporting you along the way Cons: - at times music is too loud and sometimes inappropriate (this is my opinion but I've learned to work around it, at times I rather have no music at all and just hear instructors directing on what to do) - a few instructors are not the best/confusing - I can only recall one person who was like this; her class was super confusing and she didn't show how to do the workouts. I just tend to avoid this instructor as there are majority others who are great! - be careful with positioning and workouts, don't rush! Sometimes it can feel like a competition because everyone is doing them together. I just focus on what I'm doing and push to my limit; would suggest someone who is a beginner to do the same as to not cause any injuries. This is why I appreciate great instructors like Ericka! Overall I'm appreciative of soldierfit and their instructors. Happy to be a part of this gym!

This photo shows my mom and my son playing the piano together…read more I moved this Piano 24 hours ago with my neighbor. We moved it out of my house, across and down the street, and into his house, up and down a few steps. I am 37 years old and I could not have even lifted one end of a piano off the ground when I was 35, 30, 25, or 20. I had also not exercised much during the primary COVID-19 lockdown from April-June. I spent a lot of time in the last 2 years prior to COVID-19 at 202Strong on Nebel Street. While there I did lose some weight, increased my numbers on the big 3 lifts, and made a lot of friends. While those things are great, and worthy goals, they did not help me as I sized up the piano yesterday morning. Instead, I thought about how I would safely lift and move the piano, lifting with my legs, stabilizing my core, and so on. I learned and practiced those things at 202Strong. I was not sure I could safely move a Piano after 3 months of COVID-19 gym lockdown, but apparently I retained enough strength and knowledge to do so. That is the real value of 202Strong. Not bulging muscles (though you'll get those), not weight loss (though you'll accomplish that if you work as hard in the kitchen as you do in the gym) and definitely not numbers on the bar. At 202Strong I earned the ability and confidence to safely move heavy things around in my life as necessary. That survived 3 months outside the gym. I waited 24 hours to write this to see how I felt a day later. I feel... fine, a bit like I did a 202Strong workout yesterday. :) Thanks Maddie.

I love this location!…read more 3 Floor of fitness options: cardio, strength training, stretching areas, several group classrooms, red light therapy room, massage chair rooms, outdoor turf area, and saunas (within gender locker rooms). This gym is nicely constructed and renovated (from a different gym), and offers 2.5hrs of validated garage parking. No pool, but there are so many fantastic amenities and new equipment available, you won't mind. You'll get a warmup in trekking those 3 levels via stairs, but an elevator is readily available for accommodating all accessibility levels. Also, being located in the convenient area of Pike & Rose, there are plenty options to run errands, or grab food. I Highly recommend!

My last 5-star review for OneLife at Pike & Rose was posted in 2020 shortly after Maryland Gov…read more Larry Hogan lifted the COVID remain-in-place restrictions. Ever since then I have remain a committed member of OneLife at Pike & Rose for a number of reasons: 1. Pike & Rose staff and trainers are awesome! Everyone is willing to help and answer your questions. If you frequent the gym consistently, say 2 or 3 times a week as do I, gym staff and workout buddies will become a positive influence in your life. This helps you want to return to the gym on a regular consistent basis. 2. The outdoor astroturf workout space as well as the natural light throughout the East and South-facing gym always supply good visual energy. I have yet to find a gym with the high quality of natural light Pike & Rose supplies to members. 3. Local manager Skyler and Fitness Director Carolyn listen to members questions and/or concerns. The over all quality of the gym, the efficiency of equipment, the way in which members approach and use the gym are all on Skyler and Carolyn's radar. They may not be able to remedy a situation at any given moment for a number of valid reasons yet they will make a note. And they are always looking for ways to improve our experience at OneLife. Things do change for the better; new equipment arrives and class schedules are adjusted to help members. 4. The personal trainers are awesome! Every single one of them is kind, polite, friendly and approachable. You can always ask them a question or two and if they can't help you, they will direct you to someone who can. Over the years I have worked out with a number of personal trainers and I can guarantee you this: you fitness achievements will increase so long as you stick to it. What ever you are facing as far a personal limitations and/or goals go, your personal trainer will work with you to help you achieve your fitness goals while remaining mindful of any physical constraints that may need extra attention. Over time, the returns on your investment working out with a personal trainer will manifest themselves in a positive way (body, mind & spirit). 5. Lastly, the cleanliness of the gym and locker rooms remains attended to throughout the day. Cleaning staff are great, I enjoy seeing them as well when I work out at Pike & Rose. Keep at it and pace yourself. Slow and steady wins the race!

I have been a member on and off throughout covid. Unfortunately, illness and two job losses over…read morethe pandemic again this year created grave financial difficulties for me. Earlier this year, despite being fully vaccinated, I got COVID and was bedridden for a month, then subsequently terminated from my job while out sick (illegal, yes). I called Level in Jan and was told my membership would be on hold. I made the mistake of not asking for confirmation of that. I went in last week after realizing they were still trying to charge my card. The emails were going to my spam folder, so I never saw them. I spoke to a guy named Jon, fully expecting to pay a fee, assuming there was a miscommunication. Jon told me he would be happy to cancel the previous membership and restart a new one. I almost started crying after six months of dealing with illness and job loss (I went three months with ZERO income). I was looking forward to getting my health in order. I showed up Monday, ready to work out, only to have Jon tell me that I was banned from the club, didn't meet their criteria, and that they "cater to a wealthier clientele." I was unbelievably embarrassed, devastated, and went home crying. I immediately emailed the manager and never got a response. I went on Nextdoor and put up a post looking for other gyms and mentioned the interaction that I had. As I was leaving my house to go to a doctors appt, Jon called and stated I dropped my debit card in their parking lot, I headed over to pick it up. Once there, he asked to speak to me privately and mentioned the ND post. He then stated they would give me one chance if I took it down. I was shocked, I would never feel comfortable coming here again, I told him. Two days later, the manager, Kevin, got a ND account for the sole purpose of publicly shaming me by responding to my post. At that time, he also violated the Fair Debt Collections Privacy Act, which states, "state consumer protection laws, found in the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). Debt collection is a private matter between the parties. Do not publish a debtor's name on a "blacklist" or other public posting", by stating that I owed them "$1200". They never once called me, emailed me, or made any attempt to alert me to the fact that payment wasn't going through. This is THIER FAULT, not mine. When clients don't pay me, I call them. I also informed them months ago I was ill and was told my account was "on hold." It is absolutely EGREGIOUS for a business to shame someone again and again and then to do so publicly and violate consumer protection laws by posting how much they claim is owed to them. It is nothing short of defamation of character. While this is a wealthier area, and most people around here make considerably more than me, I am masters level degree holder and currently work in mental health. Like teachers, we aren't wealthy. I'm also a single parent who works multiple jobs to make emds meet. This gym charges considerably more and offers much less, but the close proximity to my home meant I could actually go more often. Kevin accused me of bullying them, yet they have the power. They are a business with powerful clientele. I am quite literally the lowest income earner in Cabin John; mobile mental health crisis workers don't make a ton of money. The manager could have simply emailed me privately. Instead, he publicly shamed me. That is absolutely appalling behavior. The entire interaction, including my post, is here. I am filing complaints with the Maryland Attorney General consumer protection division, and I will also be speaking to an attorney. I am digusted that a business would violate my privacy, publicly humiliate me, and defame my character. No, I'm not a wealthier Cabin John resident, but I deserve dignity and respect and most certainly not to have my name publicly smeared in direct violation of my rights.
