First off this place is AMAZING! I’ve been going here for a year, about 2-3 times every week, and it was the best decision. The company, the coaches, the workout plans, the space. If you want to get healthy and don’t know where to start or even if you are a regular gym goer this place is for you. I’d whole heartedly recommend anyone here, that’s how great this place is.

First off this place is AMAZING! I’ve been going here for a year, about 2-3 times every week, and it was the best decision. The company, the coaches, the workout plans, the space. If you want to get healthy and don’t know where to start or even if you are a regular gym goer this place is for you. I’d whole heartedly recommend anyone here, that’s how great this place is. The coaches do such an amazing job working with you right off the bat, no matter your fitness level. They provide targeted workouts to help meet your goals and adjust for any previous injuries(and I had a few!). The group classes are also killer and the company truly feels like working out with friends and that makes the experience that much better. Don’t get me wrong, if you don’t put in the effort yourself to be present and push yourself, you may not see the results you’re aiming for, but it feels easy to do with these guys helping! I feel so much healthier, stronger, and more confident because of all of the help they’ve provided me this past year. Shout out to the coaches (Quinn, Clay, Justin, Humberto!) thank you guys for being so great! :) Less

Great gym! Is recommend it for a plethora of reasons but the atmosphere and the team make it stand out :) happy to have met this fit family!

The program is very well designed to fit each individual, and class is small enough that everyone gets the attention needed. Coaches are very knowledgeable with movement and how muscles work. Workout gets changed every month before you get bored. I can feel I’m getting stronger.... More

Whether you’re a fitness newbie or a seasoned athlete, this gym will exceed your expectations! Each coach is familiar with your fitness goals and the specific plan designed to achieve them. This means every session is tailored to help you progress, with no time wasted. They don’t just supervise; they actively engage by correcting your form, offering encouragement, and pushing you beyond your limits when they know you can handle it. It's not only about individual success—my favorite part is when all members gather for a final push, working together to complete the workout. This truly creates a supportive atmosphere that motivates everyone. Less

Until I found UA, I rarely went to a gym. I'd get a month-long membership, but couldn't push myself to go. And when I did show up, I was intimidated by the gym rats and posers.

Until I found UA, I rarely went to a gym. I'd get a month-long membership, but couldn't push myself to go. And when I did show up, I was intimidated by the gym rats and posers. UA is totally different. There are never more than 8 people in the gym at once, all ages and fitness levels, plus 1-2 coaches. You sign up for a specific hour, so you're held accountable. Everyone has an individual hour-long plan to follow (personalized and carefully updated by the coaching staff bimonthly), and the trainer is there to correct your form, offer tips and motivation, or substitute an exercise if it proves too easy/difficult. All 6 coaches are excellent--very knowledgeable in PT and kinesiology, warmly supportive, adaptable. They have slightly different styles but there's no weak link. I originally thought I'd go for a month or two, just to learn the basics of fitness...but this is my tenth month at UA, and I have no plans to quit. Less

It’s my second month here and I love everything about it! As someone who did not have much gym experience prior to this, I was nervous about doing things the wrong way and having improper form, but that’s never been an issue here because the trainers are so attentive and will kindly redirect me if they see anything I can improve on, PLUS i can view the exercise videos that they post to my customized plan on the app beforehand. These exercises get updated according to my needs. I already feel so much stronger in my arms, which is my main focus. Very happy! Highly recommend! Lots of flexible time slots to sign up for at this cozy place~ And sweet community building events. It’s like a hidden gem (you can’t see it from any main roads) spread the word and support them!

Justin, Clay and the team of coaches are exceptional at what they do -- true experts in their field. They consistently support, encourage, and challenge you. Because of UA, I'm stronger now than I’ve ever been. The members are just as supportive and amazing! If you’re looking to make a change in your life, join UA. You won’t regret it!

Today I benched 115#, I only got 2 reps, but I got 8 at 95#. I deadlifted 360# on the lever edge in October. Ok, so the lever edge is cheating a little but still! The important thing here is that when I started I used 20# dumbbells. If you come here to improve your physical health, strength, etc. you will.But no one stays at a gym for 10 years for that alone. The most important part of UA is the people. The trainers Justin and Clay hire and the people who train here, many of whom I consider close friends. Training with people who cheer you on, keep you accountable, miss you when you’re not there and generally enhance your life, that keeps you at a gym for ten plus years. Less

I've been at Underground Athlete for about three and a half years, and it has been the best gym I've ever been to. The coaches are attentive and motivating, and are always willing to make necessary changes to programs due to injury. They did a fantastic job during the COVID-19 pandemic of keeping members moving by switching to virtual sessions, and then, when they reopened, made sure the gym was set up with proper social distancing measures. They truly care about the members who go not just to work out, but to feel a sense of community and belonging.

The coaches at UA play a huge part in why the gym has lot of long timers, and their terrific ability to adapt and work with you to make you fitter. I've not felt this stronger or fitter in a long time and I strongly attribute it to UA. Sure you may break a sweat at other places & get a decent workout in, but if you are looking at getting stronger & building enduring fitness over time, then UA is the place to be! Less

Great team of coaches, I was very active a few years back but then had had multiple surgeries and injuries and thought I wouldn't be able to be physically fit again but these guys are great and cater to exactly what I need.

When I first came to UA, six and a half years ago, I had never belonged to a gym before. I was looking for change. My weight had spiked and I felt physically awful. I went to the ER one evening after work because I thought I was having a heart attack. I was desperate to lose weight and recover some semblance of health. I had hit the wall because within the space of months it seemed everything was going to hell. I had to euthanize Leika, my dog. Someone I had feelings for made it clear that those feelings weren’t reciprocated and one of my few close friendships ended. My father died over the course of months after being unresponsive and being awake/aware but never recovering significant mental faculties. A friend, who was like a younger brother, was murdered; beaten with a baseball bat and he died after being in a coma for weeks. With everything going sideways, the only thing I could change was myself. I wanted change so badly I actually chose Underground Athlete *because* it was out of my way and wasn’t convenient. I was nervous about it. I didn’t have proper gym clothes and I went in there looking a bum. LIke I said, I had never belonged to a gym so I didn’t know what to expect. I was one of those people who thought, “I can’t start going to a gym until I get in better shape.” I initially looked into Underground Athlete because I was curious about kettlebells -- I could see myself with a handlebar mustache and wearing the one-shoulder leotard like an old-school strongman -- but I ended up doing the semi-private training. I had a little trouble finding the gym, even though “underground” is in the name to give you a hint, and was a few minutes late for the assessment. Justin let me warm up with the group, which was a challenge at that time, to put it mildly. Everyone was encouraging, though, and after the assessment and consultation with Justin and the warm welcome from the kettlebell crew and other people training, I knew I was in good hands. It was an environment where I instantly felt grounded and it quickly grew to be my tribe. I also quickly annoyed all of my Facebook friends with gym-friendly posts, photos, and blog entries. Over the course of the years I’ve been at Underground Athlete, I’ve lost weight. I reached a few goals. I’ve done things that I never thought I’d be able to do. Every few weeks or months still comes with a triumph, big or small. I definitely have setbacks. It’s been a seasonal thing for me, unfortunately. I’ve lost weight and reached goals and I’ve gained weight, eaten pizzas, tweaked muscles in the gym, and injured myself outside the gym. I’ve had ups and downs. But I’m always amazed at what I’m able to do. “Oh man, I gained a few pounds. Bummer. Oh well. The weather’s nice this weekend. Anyone up for a 30 mile bike ride? Maybe Rock Creek Parkway or the Mount Vernon Trail?” Without Underground Athlete, I would physically be a wreck right now. If I hadn’t started this years ago? I wouldn’t have the fitness, energy, or confidence for hiking, cycling, mountain biking, paddling, backpacking, climbing, snowboarding, spelunking, snorkeling, diving, exploring and whatever else I can get into or learn. Best of all, I can sometimes convince my family to be a little adventurous and move more. Justin doesn’t just leave it at the physical accomplishments. He also makes a point to have us challenge ourselves, step out of our comfort zones, and dig deeper. He’s as much of a life coach sometimes as a physical coach. He listens with the intent of helping you form a plan and the coaches have helped me push through barriers while keeping me in one piece. My biggest regret is that I didn’t start training years sooner. I’m 45 years old. I wish I had known in my 30s what I know now. It’s been life-changing. My advice to anyone starting out? Start. Do it. Hit it hard. And rest or go lightly between training days because you are going to be sooooore (in a good way). I’ve observed my friends in the gym over the years and I’ve seen what works for them. I’ve seen the secret formula. Everybody’s different but the common factor is to have a goal. Willpower is finite, so create smaller goals in between and work towards them. Training for adventures, vacations, events, races, fun runs, or competitions a few times a year, preferably with other people, seems to be one of the most effective ways to reach and maintain whatever level of fitness you’re after. Let’s get it started in here. Less

So glad that I was referred to this awesome gym! I had some prior injuries that I was worried about and the staff has been amazing with me to make sure I do not injure myself again!

Semi private training to meet your individual goals. Great community at a reasonable cost. Strength and good health are worth the investment!

I am super excited to build the bod iv always thought i could have. I know i can do it i just need to show up UA will take it from there.

Great individualized workouts with a positive group setting. Very encouraging!

Been training here for many years. Staff and programming are fantastic. Community at the gym is a great motivator as well.

You pick up/push up/ or lift the weight yourself. You will get a great workout. The trainers (Patrick and Justin) are awesome. I can do things I have never done before. Your routine is changed every month. Its always fresh!! I have a very bad knee that will have to be replaced next year. My routines are designed to help me strengthen my knee so that I will bounce back from the surgery quickly. Nutrition help is also available if you want it. Additionally I find the price that you pay to be excellent. This is group personal training at it's best. Underground Athlete is an awesome place to workout!! Less

Justin wrote me a long-distance training plan (I'm in NY). One of my issues is plantar fasciitis, so he wrote me a plan incorporating exercises countering that and I'm stoked to say I am barely feeling any heel pain now after just three weeks, despite flip-flop season! I never realized that exercises could be a way to correct this (aside from weight loss resulting from exercise...). I'm so thankf... More

LOVE UA and I've had some of the best workouts I've ever had in my life here!! The people are amazing and motivating :)

Wish I'd found UA sooner. Fantastic place--the trainers and participants are awesome.

This is the first review I've ever written on Google, but UA deserves it. I tried out UA after a year and a half of frustration over constant setbacks from a herniated disk in my lower back. Tried physical therapy and two cortisone shots with little to no results. I took up swimming which helped a bit but not a ton.

This is the first review I've ever written on Google, but UA deserves it. I tried out UA after a year and a half of frustration over constant setbacks from a herniated disk in my lower back. Tried physical therapy and two cortisone shots with little to no results. I took up swimming which helped a bit but not a ton. A surgeon recommended a procedure right around the time I started at UA because I "had tried all conservative approaches without success." At UA I got a personalized workout program that I could feel was strengthening and stabilizing my back. If something didn't feel right, I would just tell Justin, and he'd think for a second and then replace the exercise with something else. For the first time in a long time I could get a real workout in, break a hard sweat, without aggravating my back. And not only avoid aggravating my injury, but I actually felt it getting better. Every month Justin gives you a new workout routine based on your progress, which is always harder and more fun than the previous ones. I ended up delaying the surgery because I was having too much fun at UA and didn't want to take the month of rest after the surgery. After a few months at UA I felt so good I realized I probably wouldn't end up getting the surgery at all. Now I've been going for probably 6-8 months, I feel great, never got the surgery and assume I never will. And even though I don't feel really "injured" anymore, I know I'll still be UA a long time. I played two sports in high school and always felt like I knew what I was doing in a gym, but UA has shown me how much I really was missing going to the gym on my own. Can't recommend it highly enough. Less

They'll let you be a girl and whine/complain and then make you push even harder! You'll leave feeling addicted to the way these workouts make you feel! Less

I sing Underground Athlete's praises everyday to my friends and family.--The fantastic TRAINERS are knowledgeable and offer extensive nutrition and conditioning information. They are always friendly professionals who motivate exercisers with a "work hard for your rewards" attitude. When I think I can't do more, Justin (owner and trainer) and Matt (trainer) encourage me to dig deeper and do more. I know Justin and Matt are as committed to my health as I am.--The encouraging MEMBERS literally cheer each other on. Whether they are newbies or gym rats (fat or fit), they recognize and encourage hard work when they see it. They celebrate each others' successes and empathize with each others' struggles to progress. However, don't think people stand around watching you work. Heck no! In an hour of training, every person is busy completing his/her customized workout and leave with a breathless "good job" or "nice work".--Even before its recent renovations,the GYM was worth the drive. There's plenty of clean, new equipment and space for individual workouts without the "fitness factory" feel of corporate gyms. Underground Athlete also boasts great hours for any schedule.--As every infomercial and fitness trainer will tell you, RESULTS will vary; however, if you follow Justin's recommended fitness and nutrition guidelines, you will see RESULTS.MY EXPERIENCEI met 2 trainers and paid (I didn't really do anything) 3 different gyms before a friend promised me Justin Case, the Miracle Worker, "would change my life". The other trainers barely assessed my needs and abilities before taking my cash; one even skipped sessions (That's what I do. I didn't need a trainer who was less motivated to show up than I was.)On the other hand, Justin assessed the damage (more than 100 lbs overweight, foot pain, leg pain, hip pain, back pain, imbalance, and more) and discussed my goals. We also discussed my obstacles (poor motivation and boredom after a couple months) none of which the previous trainers and gyms questioned. While he couldn't remove my obstacles, he insisted I could not be a client if I didn't commit to the better health and nutrition. NO FLAKING ALLOWED.I agreed and started with changing my diet, according to Justin's specifications, and keeping a diet diary. A week later, my first exercises were probably easy for others, but I knelt on the floor gasping for breath several times that first week. I'd never been an athlete or even physical, yet Justin didn't go easy on me. Still at the end of each session, I was proud with what I'd accomplished. And I kept coming back for more and never missing a chance to workout.By the end of the first month, my pain (which I'd experienced for over 4 months) was gone. Within 8 weeks, I'd lost 20 lbs. As I write this, I'm finishing my sixth month. I've lost nearly 60lbs; plus I can fit into a size 16 (I wore size 24 when I joined the gym). Still there's no whining about the workout (ok, no serious whining); no the sweat, sore muscles, and breathless panting are just "weakness leaving the body".More importantly, my attitude has changed. I admit I still slack off in my diet diary and some days a Hershey's Kiss cannot be ignored, but I have developed discipline that I thought I was incapable of. I feel stronger, more flexible, and faster than ever. I am excited to workout and eager for fitness challenges (Tough Mudder in June). Less
