Thank you Aakansha - and we love having you here! Come try my class sometime!
Fantastic experience: The people are very nice and helpful.
Thanks Milo - Great to have you here!
Positive experience: For me it was a huge waste of money. The classes are always going while I'm at work... I don't work from home.. so that was out. I don't get home until 8:30-9:00pm, and I'm leaving for work at 5:00am. There isn't a wide variety of equipment, the few times I did go, I was just on the treadmill. I could do that at the apartment I live at.... I didn't really feel as good about being there as other people talk about. This gym is good if you work from home, are retired, or work 8 hours a day... if you're working long hours, it's a huge waste of money... I will say it's a very well kept gym, and if you have a better schedule then it's worth the money..
Sam I am so sorry to hear that you feel being a member of our gym was a "huge waste of your money". We are open from 5 a.m. until 11 p.m. so we can fully accommodate someone with long work hours such as yours. However, offering a class to fit those hours is an unreasonable request, would result in few if any attendees and you joined knowing our current schedule of classes. The wide variety of equipment we offer include cable weights, free weights, squat rack, smith machine, leg press and much more so there is no reason to just resort to a treadmill when all this other equipment is available. I can't locate your membership on file. Are you sure you are a member of our gym? If so, please let me know when you will next be here as I would love to meet with you in person and show you all the many options available to you as a member. If not, please correct your review. Dega Schembri Owner
Fantastic experience: Just joined, and had a great consultation with Tony, and a personal training session with Imani. I really like this place. It feels like a community, a terrific neighborhood gym. Indeed, it’s a place where “everyone seems to know your name.”
Thanks Patricia - you are in good hands here and we do know your name! Thanks for your review.
Fantastic experience: Just joined and love it.
Brandon great to have you here - welcome to the Foundation Fitness Family! Dega
Fantastic experience: Glad I found this gym! It's welcoming and friendly and I look forward to going. Even though it's not huge (which I like), they have a selection of cardio machines, weight equipment, and a space for (a variety of ) classes.
Thanks Betty! I hope you continue to enjoy being a part of the Foundation Fitness Family! Welcome! Dega
Fantastic experience: I love it here!
I'm so glad to hear that Haley! Welcome to the Foundation Fitness Family! Dega

Thanks Austine! So glad you enjoy being a member and a part of the Foundation Fitness Family! Welcome! Dega

Christina thanks so much. I hope you are enjoying the new classes that we added too!
Fantastic experience: Great gym with friendly staff! The limited space is utilized efficiently and has everything you need. I’d recommend it to everyone in the neighborhood!
Thanks Stephanie - and please do!
Fantastic experience: This is the best gym in DC!
Thanks so much! We love our gym because we love our members!
Fantastic experience: Dega and her team made the membership process easy and enjoyable. My favorite area is the spacious deck area where workouts can be taken outdoors. Highly recommend Foundation Fitness at Cleveland Park
Thanks Amie - our deck is my favorite place as well. I can't wait until the spring when we can start hosting some of our famous "Parties with a Purpose" out there! Giving back to the community and having fun at the same time!
Fantastic experience: Shot out to Tony. Great young man. Come check him out.
Fantastic experience: Best decision I made in awhile. Coach Tony answered all my questions during the consultation and let me try out a class, the ladies lifting club. The women were so encouraging and I instantly felt the sense of community. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Foundation Fitness is a great neighborhood gym! It has plenty of equipment, and I've never needed to wait to use what I wanted. Everything is clean and well-maintained. The staff is also incredibly nice. Definitely recommend!
Thank you Anna! We have been Cleveland Park's Neighborhood Gym for 30 years! Locally owned and operated. Glad to have another neighbor as a member! Welcome to your new Fitness Home! Dega
Fantastic experience: Great machines, great staff - love coming here.
Fantastic experience: I started going to Foundation Fitness in CP a few weeks ago. They make access very easy, always have clean towel, and have a nice selection of equipment for different workouts. It’s been a great addition to my weekly routine!
Jocelyn - thanks so much for your kind words about our gym. We are proud of our neighborhood gym. Welcome to our fitness community! Dega
Fantastic experience: An excellent, clean, empowering place to be!
Fantastic experience: Great gym. Not a massive overall space, but lots of redundancy in equipment so I've always been able to access what I want without waiting. Multiple treadmills and other cardio machines; huge dedicated space for classes/yoga/ab work; versatile pulley machines with tons of different handles; well-stocked weight room with a bench, squat racks, leg press, dumbbells up to 90 lbs. Staff is super-friendly to customers. Flexible and fairly priced membership options -- not Planet Fitness cheap, but not Equinox expensive. Very happy with my membership so far.
Fantastic experience: Foundation Fitness is hands down the best fitness facility I've ever had the pleasure of being a part of. From the moment I walked through their doors, I knew I had found my fitness home. The first thing that struck me was the cleanliness and organization of the gym. It's clear that the staff takes great pride in maintaining a spotless and well-maintained environment. The equipment is top-notch, and there's always an ample supply of weights and machines, so I never have to wait to get my workout in. One thing I truly appreciate is the sense of community at this gym. The members are friendly and supportive, and there's a real sense of camaraderie that motivates you to keep coming back. It's a place where everyone feels welcome, regardless of their fitness level or background. Foundation Fitness also goes the extra mile when it comes to member amenities. The locker rooms are well-equipped, and there's always a fresh supply of towels and toiletries. They make it easy for you to fit a workout into your busy schedule with convenient hours and a smooth check-in process.
Fantastic experience: A very friendly and supportive environment! They have all the equipment you need, and it feels more like a community than a gym.
Fantastic experience: Foundation Fitness is an excellent neighborhood gym. The staff are all super friendly, they have all the equipment you could ever need, you never have to wait, it's a beautiful space with lots of natural light, and a motivational place to be. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Great gym with all of the amenities you need for a quality workout. Friendly staff and plenty of equipment for all different types of exercise.
Fantastic experience: Great and friendly gym in the neighborhood
Fantastic experience: I joined Foundation Fitness about a month ago and I've really enjoyed the gym. Everyone who works there is incredibly friendly. Although being on the smaller side, I've never had to wait to use a piece of equipment and I like that they have an outdoor area to work out as well. It's been a great experience so far!
Thanks for your kinds words Kathryn. Our outdoor 'Zen Garden' space is such a PLUS for working out and for parties too! Enjoy!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience at the Cleveland park location! Very clean and well maintained space that’s hardly ever crowded, 10/10
Fantastic experience: Great location by the metro and clean facilities with all the gadgets on site including yoga mats for class. The staff know everyone by name and have a lot of care for their experience
Fantastic experience: Fully equipped gym with kind and personable trainers. The atmosphere is very friendly and supportive, and people of all ages and backgrounds train there. Great vibes. I’m very happy I decided to become a member!
Positive experience: The workers at the gym are very nice and were helpful to me and offered to let me work out there for a day to see if I wanted to buy a membership. The workers are great. My problem is with the facilities and the people there. It is advertised as a gym with both personal training/classes and as an open gym for people who don't need training. This would be fine, but the problem is the gym is small with typically only one machine for everything which means space is utilized by everyone. Even though there was a singular bench it was being used by the class which prevented me from using it. If you want to work out here do the classes, it is not an open gym at all. Also most of the people in the class were quite annoyed when I politely asked if I could use the bench, most of them are annoying white, stuck-up, suburban moms.
I'm glad that my staff were nice and helpful to you. They always are! It is true that on Thursday evening we have one 30 minute class to encourage women in our gym to work out in our free weight area. We have never received complaints about this class but, in fact, praise for them. I'm sorry that it was annoying for you. That is not the typical reaction. We have several machines that have multiple uses and more than one bench that you must have overlooked. We also have beautiful additional spaces for workouts - our outdoor Zen Garden Deck and our newly renovated group fitness floor. Finally, the classes are included in memberships and add great value to your membership. I hope you consider coming back another time to workout and see all the things that you missed. Dega
Fantastic experience: Great gym. Have every piece of equipment you need. Smaller sized gym that gives off great community vibes. Trainers who are always insightful and helpful.
Thanks Jamar - I'm so glad you appreciate who we are as a neighborhood gym! Thanks for your comments. Welcome to our community. Dega
Fantastic experience: I moved to the area recently and joined at the recommendation of a friend. Foundation Fitness of CP is a true "neighborhood gym" in that it is quaint but has what you need. the staff are super friendly and welcoming, and the typical crowd is easygoing. I love my new local gym :)
Fantastic experience: Cool and unique gym. The outdoor patio is the best thing about it. The staff is super nice too.
Thanks Karim! Our Outdoor Zen Garden Deck is perfect for relaxing OR working out! Enjoy!
Fantastic experience: This is really a perfect neighborhood spot. I wanted to start lifting and was nervous about using the barbell equipment for the first time. I couldn't have picked a better place to start. The staff are really knowledgeable and friendly. It's small but in a good way; the staff seem to know all the regulars. Plus it's clean and has all the equipment you need, and the price is the same (and the pricing structure a lot less complicated) than the Big Name Gym in Van Ness. What more could you want?
Fantastic experience: I have loved this gym since I’ve joined! It’s never too crowded and they’ve got everything you need. Plus the outdoor deck is such a cool unique feature.
Fantastic experience: Excellent staff, opening hours, cleanliness. Great for weightlifting. Really nice deck to exercise out on too
Thanks William. Our deck is so beautiful and unique. Thanks for mentioning it. Welcome!
Fantastic experience: Nice neighborhood gym. They give you $10 off your monthly fee if you leave a 5 star Google review.
Fantastic experience: Good gym
Fantastic experience: Really glad I joined Foundation Fitness! I appreciate how calm it is there— I never have trouble finding an open treadmill or spot in a class. It feels like a neighborhood gym rather than a busy, chain type of place where you may feel more rushed. I also love the outdoor space and can’t wait to use it as the weather gets warmer.
Fantastic experience: Finishing out my first month here and am super happy. I was a little concerned about the small size of the gym, but I’ve never had to wait to use any equipment, even during busy after-work hours. The staff is friendly, the other members are friendly (don’t drop weights or grunt aggressively), and the space is clean and well ventilated. One little complaint: Just be prepared that, while the first month is free, there is a membership activation fee that’s essentially the same price as a month of membership. I’ve never been a member at a gym before so maybe that’s standard practice, but it wasn’t anywhere on the website.
Fantastic experience: Excellent place: friendly stuff, clean fitness center - so happy to join back after COVID
So glad to have you back. Thanks for the wonderful review! Dega
Fantastic experience: Adorable and friendly little attic gym with amazing trainers! Came here years ago when I was traveling and now back again as a permanent resident. So excited to get back in shape!
Fantastic experience: Your friendly neighborhood gym! Me and my husband joined after moving to DC and totally love it. The staff is great and know you by name. There are classes and lots of training equipment.
Thanks Susanne and welcome! We like to think we are the "Cheers" of fitness! Hope to see you in one of my classes! Dega
Fantastic experience: Great gym, very nice and helpful staff.
Thanks Eldad and welcome to Foundation Fitness - your neighborhood gym! Dega
Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff and and clean environment, many options for excercise equipment and tools. I really like the open space next to the cardio machines that’s available outside of any scheduled class. Definitely recommend!!
Thanks Ana and welcome! When the weather is better, our Zen Garden Deck is also a great place for workouts! Dega
Fantastic experience: This gym is a gem! The environment, people and staff are so positive, pleasant and encouraging. All of the equipment is clean and well maintained. Also, love the fact that it’s a small, non commercialized space to workout. If you find regular gyms stressful, or unwelcoming, try Foundation Fitness Cleveland Park - you’ll love it.
Thanks for your kind words Alexandria! We love that we are a small, locally owned neighborhood gym that has everything you need! Hope to see you in one of my classes! Dega
Positive experience: I had a week’s trial for the classes. I loved them - the instructors were great - and I decided to take a year’s membership. It’s a well-equipped, friendly, member-focused gym in the Cleveland Park neighborhood, and you should definitely consider it.
So great having you as a new member Lisa. I love having your energy in the classes. Welcome!
Fantastic experience: Great staff, clean facilities, has everything you need for a community gym!
Welcome Sophia! This is your neighborhood gym!
Fantastic experience: Very nice gym! The gym is very well maintained and not too crowded. I’m addition, everyone appears to be super friendly and willing to help you out. Would definitely recommend this gym!
Thanks Roither. We hope to get to know all of our members and help everyone help! Hope to see you in a class if it's your thing! Dega
Fantastic experience: Great neighborhood gym and helpful staff!
Fantastic experience: I was concerned about the small size of the gym, but I've never had to wait for any of the equipment I needed to use.
Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms ever - mostly because the trainers are so positive, kind, and motivating. Every Thursday there’s a “ladies who lift” club which is awesome and I highly recommend it for lifters of all levels. The Monday yoga class is really good as well. Join this gym, you won’t regret it!
Thanks so much Avni. So glad to hear you are taking full advantage of all we have to offer. I think we have the best trainers in town because they are so positive, kind and motivating. Hope to see you in the gym or in my Line Dance class. Dega
Fantastic experience: Great gym with nice staff. Coach Tony is a.really nice guy. I do wish he would eat healthier than subway with all that sugar in the bread. The gym is 30 years old you can can tell. The equipment is old school. With exposed brick and wooden rafters, it seems like the boxing gym from an old movie. $100-110/month is more expensive than corporate options like WSC but this is more of a neighborhood gym. I like that there are a lot of trainers and they keep an eye on people....including the teens (kids) working out. The staff seems to really know the clients and to ask how they are doing.
Fantastic experience: Great boutique gym. Everything you could need at a fair price. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Wonderfully convenient location right next to the Cleveland Park metro.
Fantastic experience: Tony & Jenee are exceptional
Thanks Brian! and Welcome to your new Fitness Home! Dega
Fantastic experience: Great facilities and friendly staff!
Fantastic experience: Woohoo!
