I’m way overdue in writing this review. Chris Garay is extremely knowledgeable, professional, kind and highly skilled. He has such a profound understanding of anatomy and is able to scale exercises for anyone. As someone who was told I should never workout by all of my doctors, my joints have never felt better and I owe it all to Physicality. After 7 years of constant back and knee pain, I’m virtually pain free and am so much stronger. Highly recommend coming here if you want to focus on strength, stability and mobility.

This is an awesome place for strength training. As a physical therapist I loved that their class syllabus was structured to target strengthening of muscles which help to stabilize our joints. They dont have us just do a bunch of random exercises. They have a plethora of gymnastic specific equipment that non gymnasts can use.

Can’t recommend this place enough. It’s addicting. Chris, Cory, and Shawn do an incredible job scaling each class and exercise so that it’s always challenging but attainable. I’ve had a long history of back, hip, knee, and shoulder injuries and their program has helped correct my structural and muscular imbalances and move me to a place where I’m virtually pain free.

Im a yoga teacher and I do 90 minutes of yoga six days a week. I go to class here a couple times a month to work on strength training and develop movement patterns that are missing from my daily yoga routine. These instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful and I trust them guide me without letting me hurt myself. Its also an intense and fun workout in a small group setting.

I was looking online for a trainer in DC to improve my strength in gymnastics and aerial acrobatics and found Physicality GST. Excited, I rushed the next day to check out the gym facility and meet the coaching team. My expectations were totally exceeded. Facility-wise - very well equipped with pretty much all you need for hard core gymnastics and strength training. But what is a facility without a coach? Chris is extremely knowledgeable, methodical, confident, versatile, and on top of that, a great cheerleader. Trust me, you will need it in strength training! As our sessions progress, I am impressed with the exercises he chooses for each pt session. They are challenging, non-standard, and simply working. I am on my way to great things with this coach!

I, a physical therapist, have been collaborating with coach Cory Hill to serve mutual clients for several years. Coach Hill with a record of World Champion in Taekwondo has very unique holistic approaches and is one of the best movement/exercise experts in DC area. He promotes and enhances best optimal outcomes safely for his clients. I highly recommend him and his facility.

Truly excellent, thoughtful and effective gymnastics-based strength and mobility training. I’ve been training with Physicality for a little over a year, and my shoulder strength and stability has increased dramatically.

Let me start this review by saying that I’m not generally one to write reviews. In fact, this may be the first review I’ve ever written. Also, because I’m about to go all-out fanboy on Physicality, I should probably mention that I was not prompted nor asked to write this review. Lastly, I was a personal trainer in a past life, which I mention just in case you think the additional context valuable. So, now that that’s out of the way…Physicality is objectively one of the best gyms in the DMV, and probably the country (I know, big talk). The coaches, Chris and Cory, have such a deep knowledge and understanding for how the body works/moves. The weekly programming is thoughtful and focuses on strength AND mobility, something I’ve found most gyms advertise but few practice. There is also an emphasis on quality over quantity, improving strength through the full range of motion and progressive overload. All the exercises can be (and are) scaled so that members of all skill levels feel comfortable and can continue to improve. The class environment couldn’t be friendlier and is competitive in all the good ways, meaning that folks are pushing each other to train harder, while also ensuring that there isn’t a sacrifice in quality (the coaches, of course, are also actively monitoring).As I’ve gotten older and my interests and reasons for why I train have evolved, it’s been such a pleasure to have found a gym that is focused on more than just near-term results. While there is certainly an emphasis on consistent improvement via progressive overload, the programming is also designed for health and longevity, which has become increasingly important for me in recent years.I can’t say enough good things about Physicality. I regularly (3-4 times/week) attend the group classes but feel as though I get many, though certainly not all, of the benefits of one-on-one training sessions since the coaches are so actively involved in providing guidance for each member during the group class sessions.Please, PLEASE do yourself a favor and sign up for the 5 classes for $50. Its an absolute steal. If you don’t see the value after five classes, I will personally refund your $50 (joke, of course, but that’s how much value I see in what these folks are doing)

Im impressed with the new space! Nice work Chris and Cory.

Great gym, great owner, very well organized, great instruction!
