The Cut Seven team and the offerings they provide are exceptional! Big shoutout to Marcus who is on another level when it comes to training classes, raising the energy and creating an inspiring environment to be in with a community of members that support one another! Highly recommend!

I’ve tried every gym in the DMV and Cut Seven is unparalleled for these reasons:1. Team-based workouts: most gym classes are individual based and their workouts stand out because of the fun team-based approach to every workout. Small group training format is super effective.2. The coaches. Every single class that I’ve gone to I have always received personalized correction for form and also accountability. I love how all of the coaches know the clients by name and bring their own spin to the the workout focus for the class.3. The founders of the company: they are fitness industry experts and started this gym from the ground up.While I haven’t been able to go as often as I want to (bc I moved out of the city)I only hope they can open a location in northern Virginia!

This is just what I needed in DC I have been to both the indoor studio and the outdoor turf area for classes. I love the team based approach to the classes and each day is dedicated to a certain muscle group. This is a very fast paced class which makes it fun and interesting. The instructors are highly motivational and help guide you and give you any tips in the movements. The movements are unique and different and will have you sweating and gasping for air at the end of class. A great and new and unique gym in DC and love the outdoor space that is provided!

One of the best studio experiences I've ever had. Alex and Marcus were amazing! The amount of support I received from my classmates was wild. Fast friends!Marcus was a 10/10 coach. Very welcoming and wholesome personality, but he pushes you to give a bit more!

One of the best workouts in any city, I am a HUGE fan of Cut Seven. If you ever played team sports, this class is for you. The camaraderie between participants while you're doing fun playground-type exercises is unlike any class I've ever taken. Highly recommend if you're in the DC area!!!

I joined Cut in mid-2020 with the intention of getting fitter and leaner. I'd always been a team sports guy and wasn't partial to gym culture, so I was skeptical. But the experience has blown me away. I now find myself waking up at the crack of dawn every morning to walk to class come rain, sun, or snow, whatever the temperature, because the enthusiasm is infectious and the classes brilliant fun. It's an extremely inclusive environment, whatever your fitness level or ability. And importantly the owners and first-class coaches have created an actual Team sports-like environment, where people take their fitness seriously but in an encouraging culture. With many gym class groups, the sessions can be predictable. But with Cut, just when you think you've mastered a class type, they really mix it up with innovative new team games, new moves, or fun warmups and finishers. After a year of doing classes 4 or 5 times per week, I've never been fitter and genuinely miss it when I'm away even for a few days.

Cut 7 is amazing! The workouts are fun and super challenging. There's a pretty standard overall format (warm-up, stations, finisher), but every workout still manages to feel thoughtful and unique. This is also the *only* exercise class I've ever been to where they encourage everyone to get to know each other and think of each other as teammates. After a year working out alone inside, this has been an incredibly worth it way to get motivated and get back out there!

Cut 7 is fantastic! It's hard to know where to start with the pros. The strength/conditioning/HIIT workouts are high energy and produce results. The equipment and workout spaces are high quality. The music bumps. But the best part has to be the people. Cut 7 has built a great community. The coaches are serious professionals, yet fun and friendly.

I've been to this cut seven location a few times with the times my trainer was Amelia. Overall the experience was great and I appreciated that the cut seven instructor took time to talk with me before my first class! I will cut seven a five out of five for this because I think this is their standard practice. In addition to this I appreciated that the Amelia really took the time to check in with and ensure that I was doing some of the moves correctly (so that I would not hurt my back)! As my first group fitness experience in dc, I was very pleasantly surprised and impressed by this experience. I first booked using a special promo $49 for 7 classes (so $7 for 7) and later using ClassPass! I'm a big fan of this location!

Getting back into group fitness after a year in a pandemic can be certainly daunting, and I was a little overwhelmed by how challenging Cut Seven looked. I started at the open air studio off 14th and was impressed at the time with the care and caution the management and instructors were taking to ensure a safe yet still tough workout. Since then, as restrictions have changed, they now are back at the indoor studio with vaccinated-only classes. If you're not comfortable going indoors just yet, the open air studio and Union Market rooftop are still available for the time being. Cut Seven markets itself as an athletic conditioning and strength training studio and they really nail the concept on the head. The class starts with demos of each of the stations (there are usually 3, and you cycle through them 2X), before moving onto dynamic mobility (so important!) and brief cardio warmup. The classes are programmed in advance and what I like is that they don't promote doing a double/back-back workout because you should feel physically expended at the end of the class. All the coaches are knowledgable, motivating, and engaging. Every one of them has a high level of understanding of the movements and what muscles you should be working, provides modifications and adjustments while still keeping great energy. I highly recommend Amelia (she REALLY knows her stuff and is such a fantastic coach) but you seriously will not go wrong with any of the instructors! The community, from the staff/captains to the clients act like a team, and provides the much needed camaraderie to power you through one of the toughest workouts in DC. Some of the stations are team-based which adds to that camaraderie, and it definitely creates a welcoming and motivating atmosphere to workout in. As a grad student, I would love to see a student membership; however, I'll be continuing to come here so long as I can!

This is a review for their Union Market Rooftop classes (taken in June 2021). Amazing cardio classes with a conditioning/strength focus. Their coaches are by far the best in the D.C. area. I've taken classes at Orange Theory and VIDA Fitness and Cut Seven's training is superior. I only 4 stars out of 5 stars because of their pricing options / membership plans/class booking procedure. I would recommend that they give paying members more priority in the class booking window than 2 hours ahead of the non-paying members.

I’ve gone to this studio on and off since the beginning, and always make a point to take a class or two when I’m back in DC after moving several years ago. The class is hard but scalable, unintimidating with athletes of all levels taking class. What they’ve done with the outdoor spaces and ingenuity over the pandemic has been impressive and they’re now getting back to indoor classes so I’m sure the cardio is about to get turned way back up. 10/10 recommend!

Cut Seven is more than just a boutique workout class, it’s a community. I was invited by a friend and initially purchased an intro package (you can’t beat 7 for $7). I got hooked and now I’m a member! The workouts are challenging, the instructors are energetic and push you to take it to the next level, and every time I come to class I make a new friend. Their team based approach creates an encouraging environment no matter what your skill level is. As a healthcare professional, I also appreciate the precautions and protocol they implemented during the pandemic to keep everyone safe. I highly recommend trying a class, you won’t be disappointed!
