My daughter absolutely loves coming here for the aerial silks class. The instructors are amazing! She is already doing some really impressive stuff after only 4 classes. The whole facility is well run and has a good vibe about it. Highly recommend.

Awesome. I went as a 44 year old adult for an intro class. I felt welcome and encouraged!

A little better under new management, but kids say it’s hot or miss with the instructors. Wish the Sterling and MANASSAS locations had more success:(. Alexandria is far for us.

They are serious about Covid. Mandatory mask, temp check, and symptoms questions. Students stay in designated areas for social distancing.

Staff ensures everyone follows social distancing with masks. My kids still have just as much fun in parkour and aerial silks.

Fantastic gym with amazing staff and trainers. I have one enrolled in the pico class and its a great way to get your kids some intense activity when its cold outside. They learn how to land safely from some reasonable heights and get to play in a big foam pit at the end of their class for the day.

There was no notice to customers that they were closed....seemingly permanently closed. Summer camps, classes, and passes all paid for in advance are not being fulfilled, nor are they being reimbursed. They have stopped responding to customers. If you spent money, talk to your credit card company to dispute the charges.Im hope that the owner(s) and employees are doing OK in this tough time.

Kids have been going here a few years now. Good People. Classes depend on the instructors, but they seem to have really nice people who try hard to make the classes a good experience for the kids.Layout and challenges are modified a bit from time to time, the limited gym section is growing (not a full gym, but more than enough for a good afternoon workout), and the instructors make it all work.Mostly I *love* their payment set up - pay for ten classes and come to any ten classes that work for you, really cant get much fairer than that, especially when dealing with kids and family schedules.Great place, we will keep coming back.

This place is awesome! My boyfriend and I, along with eight friends, did this for my birthday this past Saturday. We had been to another ninja gym prior and I liked this one a lot more. Its more parkour and a full body approach than the primarily upper-body focused approach of ninja warrior gyms. So I was able to do everything they showed, as could everyone else, even if some things took a few tries to get. It was also a great and fun workout. :)Mike and Gloves were our guides and they were funny, helpful, and made sure we all left intact. Cant recommend them enough!

My kids love going to the pico and nano aged classes as well as the games classes. The instructors take time to include and encourage our little and slow down our climb-the-walls big. Both kids are entertained and engaged in their classes, and they ask to go.

I definitely love this gym. They offer unique workouts and fun classes you dont find anywhere else. I have seriously enjoyed taking the aerial silks class but have also explored a variety of other classes. I do think some of their instructors are not that qualified. They might be great at their sport, but they need to be better coaches. However, since a lot of these classes are new, its probably hard to find qualified teachers. But, Ive noticed improvements in the past few months. The atmosphere is also great and it is just a fun place to work out and stay motivated.

I love being apart of this gym. The employees arent just knowledgeable but care about each student making progress not just in skills but in overall life. There isnt another gym like this with adult gymnastics, aerial silks and parkour.

As a professional aerialist, I was very disappointed in this studio. The space was great, with high ceilings and lots of open gym time available, but the instructors were not knowledgeable or concerned with safety. They are not certified, did not spot other students, and generally had a sour attitude. I came here for two classes before officially deciding to throw in the towel on this studio.

My sons been going here for years, and always had a great experience. Salil and Malika are wonderful folks who genuinely care about creating an amazing experience for all members and guests. The entire staff cares about their sport and are ambassadors of the gym. Cant recommend it highly enough for your climb-on-everything kid.

This is a great gym for anyone whos tired of conventional gyms. Tired of doing the same routine? At this place you can literally jump off the walls and learn to do flips and rolls and things youd be kicked out of other gyms for doing. The owners/staff are awesome people and are really helpful. I use it for competition training for when I run things like Warrior Dash and Tough Mudder. GO TO THIS GYM!!

Ive been training here for a while, taking parkour classes, and I think what I love most is how frequently I surprise myself with new abilities. Things that seemed impossible a few months ago are now part of my routine. Its like a self-contained adventure. Or live action video game. And my physical condition has never been so good. Playgrounds for grownups rock.

Review №27

I love this gym. I take the Urbanfit classes and they challenge me without completely overwhelming me. I am a total weakling and when I cant handle whatever Im supposed to be doing in class the instructor will seamlessly modify the workout to fit my fitness level. Ive seen them modify workouts to make them harder for more physically fit people too. The best thing about this gym though is how kind and accepting everyone is. I am pretty fat and out of shape and no one has ever made me feel uncomfortable or embarrassed about my lack of skills or my shape. All of the employees and other gymgoers are truly lovely people and I am extra motivated to go to my classes because I know the people there will miss me when Im gone. Yes the gym is kind of expensive, but I really do believe that it is 100% worth the price. This is the only gym Ive been to where I feel completely comfortable and appropriately challenged. Also, the classes are great and have been a huge help in getting me back into shape.

This review isnt on the actual gym, but about the kids birthday parties Urban Evolution hosts. The purpose is to have kids do a bunch of obstacle courses which are led by multiple instructors. One in particular was a total disaster and was basically yelling at the kids. He was expecting them to behave just like the typical adult patrons that come into that place - these are 4 & 5 year olds! Parents beware about having your kids bday parties at this location.

My son had a great time at Urban Evolution in the nanopk course. The staff were terrific. An extra thanks goes out to Malika for making the Parkour experience awesome for all of my little ninja monkeys. Next time were in town, you can be sure well be back to their gym!
