Moved to the area and joined during COVID. Older equipment but its still in good shape. Folks do a pretty good job of whiping down the equipment after theyve used it and everyone wears their mask as they should (COVID precaution). Staff is comprised of some nice folks. Im looking forward to seeing what its like after COVID.

My mother and I were so satisfied with the experience we had at this gym because we were properly taken care of! The coaches were so helpful and they always make sure to check up on us every time!

Very unclear membership terms. Charged for 2 extra months after cancelation and were unhelpful during phone call. Facility is nice but customer service is poor and management is rude. Many better gyms out there would not recommend.

It was empty and nice today. I felt relatively safe working out.

Great gym, has everything I could ever want (Free weights, plenty squat racks, machines). I would say it’s a little overpriced right now, but once the amenities are available it will make it well priced

This location of Balance Gym is not professional and has Poor communication dealing with membership issues. I have been treated poorly and would not recommend this gym to my worst enemy.

Keeps winning best gym in DC and if you join, youll know why. Nothing flashy, its not a spa, its about the fitness of their members and creative ways the gym deals with issues like the COVID-19 shutdown. I feel like I am part of a community, more than just a gym membership.

This place is awesome!! It’s way better than your conventional gym! Staff are great and extremely knowledgeable!

My colleague and I started taking body pump classes every Thursday with Julie, and really have gotten into it. I’ve taken a body pump class in the past at another gym and did not have a good experience, so going into this class at first was intimidating. Julie helped me one day after class finesse my form and I am grateful for that. Will continue to keep going, and adding Tuesday classes to my weekly schedule as well. Fun and motivating class overall!

My favorite part of Balance Gym Capitol Hill is spin classes with Carly. Boutique spin studio quality included at gym membership price. These are intense, 45-minute rhythm rides with great music and professional instruction. Carly gets to know her classes and has a strong following of loyal attendees. 10/10 would recommend.

Balance Gym on Capitol Hill is easily one of the best gyms I have visited. It offers an array of classes and lots of space and machines for individual training. It caters to all levels of fitness. It is clean and the staff is friendly. I found the personal training sessions with Rod Hill extremely helpful, not only for hitting the gym on a regular basis, but mainly for finding a workout that suits my goals and my fitness level. Thanks a lot!

This gym is super inclusive in the front desk staff is absolutely. myself and co-worker had the pleasure of going on a tour with Noel who showed us everything that we need to know about the gym. the equipment is maintained well it looks like and they have every piece of equipment that I could hope for. upon our first time visiting and working out my co-worker and myself really love this place and look forward to many more workouts there.

Great place to work out at any level. There are several classes to choose from. Lots of equipment to choose from. You can easily go to a different exercise until the equipment opens up that your waiting for. The staff is great and always helpful. I would like for them to open up earlier and stay open later.

The staff is great, the restrooms/showers are very clean, and the equipment is well maintained.Best gym workout. Clean,awesome staff, great equipment. Beats any other gym in town!

Decent gym layout, good classes (and excellent instructors), very overpriced, rude front desk staff. Pricing is very opaque. At the end of the day, youre not really getting any more here than at any chain gym. It’s fine, not great.

Ive been a member since January. This is probably one of the best facilities Ive belonged to anywhere. First, the value – roughly averaging out to $2 per day in a month – is unbeatable. Second, the equipment and amenities are top notch, new, and well maintained. Third, the friendly staff keep the place impressively clean at all times, even during rush periods. Fourth, the clientele is polite, everyone is respectful and keeps to themselves, and its very comfortable for anyone at any level of fitness to come here. Lots of great group classes.

If youre feeling unsure about starting to workout or attend classes, youve come to the right place. At Balance Gym, youre not alone. Taking your first class or walking into the gym can be intimidating but myself and my talented co-workers want you to know we all start somewhere. Check out our classes- high energy, challenging and can be adjusted to any fitness level. See you in class soon!

Best workouts Ive ever had. No chance Id push myself this much on my own. Great variety, technology and coaches.

If you live and/or work on the Hill, then *this* is the gym to get your gains. Ive had nothing but a positive experience since joining in November 2017. For a more structured workout, I can highly recommend trainer Rod Hill (FitSquad International). Rod is a true professional and a wealth of exercise and health-science information. Thanks, Rod!

My wife and I have been going to spin and bootcamp class with Carly, a Balance Gym Capitol Hill trainer, for more than 2 years and its been superb. Her positive outlook combined with deep knowledge of spin and physical performance make her the ideal trainer. The group classes challenge both of us and are great for exercisers of all experience and fitness levels. We get a great workout each time and leave class feeling healthy and motivated. Balance also has a great, friendly staff who are very accommodating.

Ive had a truly exceptional experience at Balance Gym Capitol Hill. Ive been a member for over a year, and I visit between 2-5 times per week. The staff are friendly and personable. The gym is clean and I rarely experience difficulty with getting access to the rooms or equipment I want to use. The classes are fun and challenging. Parking is usually not a problem- there is plenty of street parking and there is a very small parking garage. Also, Capitol Bikeshare is right outside the gym. I will maintain my membership as long as I live in this community. There are many promotions for free visits so I would suggest giving it a try. I am very pleased!

Was just in DC for the summer and loved coming here after work each day!! The staff is so nice and welcoming and even just for the short time I was there, renovations and new equipment were already underway. The only suggestion I will say is to change the music up a bit. But still 5 stars all the way!

Ive been a member now for 6 months, having migrated from the old Capitol Hill Results, more recently acquired by Sport & Health. Balance is a much smaller, more compact gym than Results/S&H, but it has essentially the same equipment and training resources, offered at a substantially lower cost. Although Balance offers classes for the greying denizens of Capitol Hill, the gym generally seems to draw a younger crowd than does S&H, perhaps because of the fee differential. I had a batch of training sessions with Rodney Hill, who was great: very positive and he helped me refine and energize my workouts so that I get more out of them. Hes also very nutrition-aware and can help in that department as well. Lastly, the gyms staff seem to have an affinity for 1960s RocknRoll, which really energizes my workouts, while also encouraging me to feel young again! How can you beat that!?

We visit quite often and always come to this gym. Find the staff very friendly and continue to come back.

I delivered mail and personal packages to this establishment and was not allowed to use the bathroom because I am black. The supervisor found in my favor with the argument. They have no black employees behind the front desk.I have my masters degree, my sister is a board-certified physician specializing in gastroentrology and hepatpology, our mother is an educator and our father owns lakefront property on Kerr Lake in Manson which is unheard of a black man to own that much waterfront property in that area.

Great place and friendly staff make a great workout place. Its good for any level of athlete. So much equipment to choose from. I wish it was open longer

Been a member here for a couple of months - plenty of machines and the classes are usually pretty good. Interior of the building is a little worn, but its all clean and the machines are in good repair.

The best gym Ive ever been to. Fantastic gym culture.

This is about as good as a gym gets. Great people at the center of it and an amazing community.

Balance Gym took over this gym one year ago and have turned it into a great space to workout. They have great classes, plenty of cardio machines and weights, and are making lots of improvements to the space.

Exorbitant price - over 3 times more expensive than the same gym in other locations in the city. The staff can be moody and the manager borderline rude. Just buy a pair of dumbbells and an exercise ball and work out at home.

Great range of equipment in an unusual building. Clean and well maintained without being too fancy. Not just rows of ellipticals but also harder-to-find ones, like a Jacobs Ladder and VersaClimber and a rope climb machine.

EDIT: I was surprised how pleasant it was given the outdated rating. Staff here are very friendly and helpful. They had everything I need at a really great price. I need plenty of free weights, cardio, and some fixed weight machines. So that makes it very difficult to entice me with the other bells and whistles. Having said that, Im very happy with the price. I appreciate the free towels and will try their spin class. Talk to David! Hes great!FEEDBACK: I appreciate the perk of free wifi but would love it if the range would extend beyond the crossfit and bench area of the second floor. Thats where the free weights are located and where Im working out most of the time. Thanks!

This gym has a great neighborhood feel to it, in addition to all of the standard weight lifting equipment, treadmills, and a variety of classes.

Im a regular and I find the staff pleasant and responsive. They are a magnitude better than WSC. The equipment changes didnt take anything away that I use and added interest in trying something new.

Had a please to meet my personal trainer Rod thu FOH employee,- Noel. Great customer service. Neat and clean Gym area. Rod guide me thru muscle groups and exercises to have quick results right after few sessions. Great personal Trainer and fun person to spend time with. Working out with Rod makes time flyers and result will not going to disappoint you. #LetsGoChamp

I wish they were open an hour earlier and an hour later, especially on the weekends. The customer service is okay but the facility is nice.

This is a pretty blah and average gym at best.The equipment is old and theres a poor selection overall. Pull-down bars have uneven grips; preacher curl set is missing a chair cushion. There are few plates in the freeweight area and I dont thing theres a 10lb plate in the building. Theres no weight tree on one side of the gym and plates are tossed around on the floor. The treadmills are ancient like everything else in this gym and TVs on them dont work; when they do they only work for a minute or so and then turn off. Broken equipment doesnt get fixed or replaced here. Wifi doesnt work upstairs, only on the first floor.Pros:Towel service and limited parking is available.

Its a clean and well equipped gym with plenty of trainers and classes.

Best gym in DC

Best gym in the capital hill area!

A bit crowded, and I wish some of the louder classes were separated from the main work out space, but a good solid gym.

This location was bought by and (as of December 1, 2015) converted into a Balance Gym.

Lovely please

Best gym on The Hill

The worst WiFi ever.

Worst. Counterfeit user signatures prevented refunds. In the end it took more than two months to get the refund.
