This is an excellent gym with friendly staff! The facility is relatively small, but the gym has everything that you need to have a good workout. The gym is always immaculately clean, COVID-19 procedures are followed by everyone, and its online people tracker allows you to see how many individuals are at the gym at any given time. During the pandemic, this is a great feature if you prefer to limit your exposure to others. The outdoor deck is a unique addition which allows you to workout outside, which is rare to find in cities. Highly recommend this gym!

This gym is great! All the staff are so friendly, and everything is clean and well-kept. The space itself is small, but they truly have all the equipment you need and I've never found it to be crowded. The outdoor deck is a unique feature and a nice space for workouts, weather permitting. I've also taken some great yoga classes here.

I signed up for this gym during the COVID-19 pandemic and I felt it was the best decision I've made. While this gym is small, it has all the basics, I love that there are COVID regulations in place to help prevent the spread of germs.99% of the costumers wear masks properly and that makes me feel safe. Sometimes you will see a person here and there wearing their mask under their nose which defeats the purpose of the mask but that happens rarely.I also love that their website has a people tracker which shows how many people are inside the gym. I tend to time my visits when there are less than 4 people.They also have an outdoor deck that you can workout on and they generally open the door so there is good airflow in the gym.Additionally, the staff are super kind, professional, and helpful.If you are looking for a gym and being mindful in these COVID times, I would totally recommend Foundation Fitness in Cleveland Park.

Great gym with a relaxed, community feel. Staff is always friendly, equipment is kept clean, and if you want to do some outdoor workouts or yoga, the gym has a lovely terrace for just that.

Inclusive, friendly and relaxed, with supportive helpful staff, it's exactly what every gym environment should aspire to be. Training with Imani twice a week has been amazing! She’s patient but firm and has pushed me to meet my goals. I've become stronger and more confident and motivated than ever because of her. This is the gym you didn’t know you needed.

I highly recommend City Fitness Gym. Dega has been my personal trainer for several years and I can attest to her expertise in knowing what exercises and equipment will help me improve the strength of my various muscle groups, especially those pesky core muscles. She’s always attentive to whatever physical ailments or limitations I have on a particular day and will design her fitness program around those needs. Dega is not only kind and caring to me as an individual but she also feels a responsibility to the “greater good.” For those and other reasons, I urge you to sign up for personal training sessions with her.

Just fresh off another stunningly inspiring workout with brilliant co-owner Dega Schembri. She and her co-owner Lucinda Laree have taken a charming space and created a collegial, family atmosphere among their associates and clients that makes it pure joy to be present and getting fit — an ever elusive bar. Matchless!!

Love this place!! Great space without the huge crowds. Fabulous trainers and support. State of the art equipment, WiFi, tv, everything you need in a smaller, more personal space. Easy to meet folks and chat or do your work in peace and quiet.

I can't say enough good things about this gym. They know your name, and help you reach your goals. Nice people, excellent equipment. Several flat screen TVs to entertain while working out.

I've been a member of City Fitness for too long to say! I love the feeling at this small, community-centered gym with high caliber exercise classes taught by qualified attuned professionals. Dega & Lucinda have created a beautiful welcoming atmosphere, updating equipment and classes to keep current with the times. My favorite classes are yoga & body sculpting. Highly recommend to anyone interested in working out in a non-cookie cutter environment. I just love it there! From time to time, whenever I've thought about leaving the DC area, a major sadness has been the thought of leaving City Fitness. Thankfully, I've decided to stay!

I love this gym. The teachers/trainers are so welcoming and so good at what they do. I especially like that people of all different ages come to the gym. For me it very quickly became a neighborhood place where people knew my name and where I found myself getting more fit and actually having fun doing it. The classes are terrific and it's also a great place to stop in and use the machines when that suits my schedule better. I can't imagine a more perfect little gym!

This place really does feel like a community as well as a gym! It's a small facility with limited amenities, but it has a great staff, great classes, reasonable (for DC) fees, and a variety of equipment. It doesn't get too crowded despite its size - usually no waiting for equipment, even during rush hour. A variety of excellent group fitness classes are included in membership: SocaCize, Zumba, BoldBeats, Step/Aerobics, Power and Flow Yoga, interval training, Pilates, body sculpting, etc. There’s a charming outdoor rooftop area where you can work out or cool down while taking in a sunset and a nice view of the neighborhood. The atmosphere here isn't too trendy and intimidating, but it also doesn’t feel like a crowded budget fitness chain…just friendly and welcoming, with lots to offer!

My wife Julie and I have been members of City Fitness in Cleveland Park, DC, for a number of years and I've always been very glad we were -- for our own physical well-being and for the enjoyable atmosphere in which we do our workouts. But I've never been more proud of our membership than now with the proven willingness and capacity of the gym's owners and staff to carry out worthwhile community activities.Last week the gym's "Party with a Purpose" proved to be not only lots of fun -- but a great success at raising contributions for the (Hurricane) Harvey Disaster Relief Fund. In addition, it pulled in great spirit and support of members -- and raised over $2,000 -- not to mention enlisting the valuable backing of Cleveland Park merchants for the cause.Similar backing by the gym, its members, and our community is expected to support an upcoming goods drive for the survivors of Hurricane Irma.John CampbellKlingle Road NWWashington, DC
