Urban Athletic Club - Shaw

Dropped in here while out of town. It’s a decent facility and my coach was positive and encouraging. Unfortunately, that’s where the good ends. There was no whiteboard briefing and the class felt disorganized. We were doing front squats and the coach kept encouraging me to do more weight. I was at 80% of my 1RM for 5 reps and when I told him I was about where I wanted to be he suggested I put on a belt. Then during the workout he kept “chirping” at me each time I would break. I’m an experienced CrossFiter and know how to keep myself safe, but these things bothered me on principle. That said the coach was super positive and encouraging. Someone just needs to tell him this isn’t CrossFit in 2008.

Great staff and coaching. Prices are reasonable and program is structured to educate members prior to cutting them loose into classes. Suggest coach Evie for personal training/intro sessions, she is great!

I was going to the Georgetown location for a couple of years or so and then I moved away and couldn't ever make it across town. So happy this location opened up! I love the Urban Athlete classes, they're a great full-body HIIT workout. It's great that they're different every time and the coaches are helpful and encouraging.

Great equipment, really fun atsmosphere every time I've gone there. The trainers are super engaged and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend taking advantage of their 'First Class Free' program if it is still being offered to see if it's something you'd be interested in.

Incredibly helpful, thorough, and accommodating staff. Thoughtful, mindful, and kicka** programming! Thanks team!
