I want to start off by saying that I am currently a member of the gym and I have been for quite some time. I am rating the gym ok at 3 stars for a variety of reasons. I am going to start out with the worst thing or most disliked thing about the gym is the programming. The programming has no cycling to it and it seems completely random. You will do a weightlifting movement building strength in some form of rep scheme and then never touch it again workout for months. I have taken the CrossFit level 1 Certificate Course and that is not the way CrossFit is to be programmed. Second thing on programming is the workouts themselves. I would say at least 50% of the workouts have movements in them that only 1% of the gym can accomplish (ring muscle ups, bar muscle ups, chest to bar, rope climbs, etc) and there is no training for outside the 10 minutes or so in the class. Finally I will refer to the workouts again. The workouts that are programmed make you very susceptible to injury. What I mean by this is that one high rep movement, high rep squat movement and then the very next day you will do the same movement with another workout (high rep squats day one and then snatch squats Just yesterday on January 23rd the workout included 150 wall-ball workout and then today January 24th you have programming where 185lbs is over your head squatting with a barbell (another example of 1% of the class being able to do the movement or lift the prescribed weight). As someone who been injured before repetitive movements is where it starts and it will not go away.I will weight the equipment at a 5 and that is what holds my score up to a 3 overall. Almost all of the equipment is Rogue Fitness which is a great brand with one object here and there that is not. I rate the the coaching at a 3 because most of them are nice and truly care for you when it comes to working out and safety but some of them have no idea what they are talking about in regards to weightlifting or cardio work. They do not want you talking to any other gym member about how you learned something (weightlifting, cardio, double-unders, etc). The training has to come from them from their mouth otherwise you are potentially be called out for saying anything. I also find disappointing that they want to pick your pockets for any type of training outside of a normal class. I have never seen this in a gym before ever and it is disappointing. With the cost of this membership there should be no reason to do that. Drinks and food are fair enough to charge outside of membership fees because they have an actual retail cost to them. Every gym that I have been to has always has volunteer movement activities and this is my 7th gym I have been a member of. I know CrossFit gyms tend to be more expensive than others but $200 for an unlimited membership and then if you want to learn a new movement with a limited amount of people is ridiculous. Now they recently came out with weightlifting programming and if you want to do it outside of being with a coach you have "apply" like a job interview. The gym is way overpriced for what you get. This is one of 2 gyms in the Dumfries/Woodbridge area so are forced to choose. It is not worth the time or money to charge to teach a movement. Gym manager is a funny guy and I respect him but there needs to be some serious overhaul in the programming and cost to benefit analysis. The gym has recently gone through a change in ownership with same people who were already leading it and I hope it is for the good. I sincerely hope that they are able to make changes, preferably soon.

Joined about 5 months ago. Probably the best decision I could’ve made. The community is amazing, and the coaches are so awesome. I can’t say one negative thing about 234.

Ive been a member of Crossfit 234 for about 14 months and I feel wonderful. My PRs have been increasing each time we max out. The programming and coaching are great and most of all the environment is very welcoming. Im glad I joined after a year of hiatus from Crossfit.

Hello everyone,My name is Kyle H. and I have been a member of Crossfit 234 for over a year and I am very thankful to have found such a wonderful community of people. I previously started doing crossfit in 2019 at another location, but due to C19 and the closing of that location I eventually found 234.To anyone thinking about doing crossfit and coming to 234 be prepared:to get uncomfortableto learnto challenge and push yourselfto grow physically and mentallyto meet great peopleto support your communityto breakdown stereotypesto love your selfAnd more TOs that I can't think of LOL! ???Mostly importantly the motto at 234 is WE NEVER QUIT! What that being said, until the end of time you should never stop being the bad a** you are and want to become and if you are looking for place to push and support you at the same time then come join 234. ✌✊

This is long overdue. CrossFit 234 more specifically the coaches at CrossFit 234 have changed my life. The encouragement, dedication and love the coaches show everyday is incredible. If you are new to CrossFit or experienced this is the place for you. The sense of community is palpable from day 1. All the classmates are encouraging and excited for your progress. The facilities are new and filled with everything you’ll need to tackle a huge variety of workouts. During the pandemic the last 2 years they have not had 1 case of community spread within the Gym because they put safety as the #1 priority. Whatever your goals are they will work with you to achieve them. Please check this place out today. It is exactly what you are looking for.

Awesome coaches and staff I met about a month ago. Due to business travel I wasn't able to join. I could but would be inconsistent. Yet even as a nonmember they still reached out how I was doing. had my first class with them and everyone was welcoming. we all had a great class together and can't wait for continue to show up and meet more of the Crossfit 234 community.??

Just joined a couple of months ago and I absolutely love this gym. Super clean, coaches are knowledgeable and the people that go are super encouraging. I grew up playing team sports, working out with other people and have felt that this is a similar environment. I look forward to going to the gym and giving it my all!

I have tried other CrossFit gyms and 234 is by far the best gym and community around. The coaches are knowledgeable and get to know their athletes’ strengths and weaknesses. The office staff is amazing and very responsive. ❤️❤️❤️

I joined CrossFit late July with absolutely zero experience even holding a barbell. Everyone was helpful, knowledgeable, and patient with teaching me I couldn’t of asked for a better gym. Going to classes has helped me tremendously with my weight loss goals. I’m glad I stumbled across this place.

CrossFit 234 has been my 3rd CrossFit gym I’ve been a member at and I can say it’s been an amazing (almost) year that I’ve been a member here. The community is so welcoming and encouraging. All of the coaches are amazing! My confidence has gone up 100% and my coaches/members of this gym are 100% the reason! An amazing community where you’ll always feel welcomed and supported and encouraged. If you’re thinking of joining you absolutely should!
