Fitness & Gyms in Bethesda, MD

“I've been working with Ange for over a year and I really appreciate his knowledge, creativity, and concern for my well being. He is always coming up with new exercises to challenge me and I'm amazed at the results. Thank you Ange!”

“I started coming to CrossFit Bethesda to work with weights to improve my bone density. After years of hearing how I should take more calcium and begin thinking about other interventions, my doctor called me to say my latest test results were “Great – keep doing what you are doing”. I now do CrossFit because I love it not because I am afraid of osteoporosis. Thank you, Ray, and everyone at CrossFit who has been encouraging me to do more.”

“Hard to believe this is my first review of FT given the wonderful experiences I have been having for nearly the past year! I can’t say enough good things about the team and management, all of whom are top professionals, hyper knowledgeable and responsive, and just excellent people all around.

I want to give a special shout out to my trainer Elena, who is the reason I am still on and progressing in my fitness journey today! Elena has an incredible talent for teaching, coaching, and developing that goes far beyond sharing information and how-to. It is an understatement to say she is amazing at what she does. She takes the time to deeply learn about her clients’ goals and motivations- a core part of this is her strong ability to build the trust that is essential to the trainer-trainee relationship. I have never ever been able to stick to a fitness routine/commitment in the past and Elena not only helped me get to the root of my motivation and created programs that worked for me/were engaging and fun, but so importantly she created a space where I felt welcome, supported, and could continue to show up at each stage of this journey. I completely trust her to be my guide in setting and meeting my goals and I couldn’t do this without her! I am so appreciative of Elena and the positive impact her influence and guidance has had on my life inside and outside the gym! Thank you FT and thank you Elena!”

“Great studio, great workouts, and great staff! I can truly say I look forward to going to each class. The staff is very helpful, the studio is modern and super clean. The workouts are challenging, yet doable based on your fitness level. The variety in the workouts is great too…you’ll never get bored!”

“I love working out here! It is always clean, and everyone is respectful. The cardio room is separate from the weight room. The pool is wonderful. There is a pickleball/tennis court and a basketball court. The only thing is parking is very limited so come prepared.The showers are cleaned and that is something I appreciate in any public gym I visit!”

“Not only does this gym have everything you need, the staff are super helpful and friendly. Zach helped my girlfriend and I get a joint membership that is more than reasonable for what they offer. He explained everything well and was able to answer all of our questions.As for the gym, it’s surprisingly huge with 3-4 different weight rooms, treadmills, a few yoga/zumba studios, basketball court, 3 tennis courts on the roof and one inside with pickle ball, numerous racquetball and squash courts, full length salt water lap pool. They also have a men’s and women’s locker room each with steam room, sauna, hot tub and showers. This is all included at their base membership!!I was a member of equinox in Bethesda which is great but for the price, joining one life is a no brainer. Way more to offer here at a fraction of the cost.Thanks again to Zach and everyone there!!”

“Love this gym! I know it’s one the pricer gyms out there but what makes this place is the staff, everyone from the managers to trainers, to facilities are so welcoming and a pleasure to see. My bf and so have been going to this location for about 2.5 years now and bc we work out 2-3x a week we’ve gotten to know everyone well. Lol so much so we joke we’re all family. Anyway the gym does get packed between 4-6 but there’s plenty of room to work out and trainers are super helpful”
