Really happy that they have a program for children to learn to swim on the weekend (half the pool is still set aside for other members). The staff are always really courteous and have been great. The facilities are always clean.

There are so many gyms in DC. I have already been a member of 4 for the last two years of living here. To be fair, the rest weren’t so bad. But the reason why I decided to stay with Balance Gym is the excellent relationship build with they give their customers. There’s nothing like it.

Gym in the basement of a hotel. The layout is a little labyrinthine, but there are a good selection of free weights, machines, cardio equipment... you name it.Offers classes and crossfit. On the plus side, a membership here is very reasonably priced compared to other gyms in the area. One caveat - both times I've visited, the weight room was packed. If you're looking to squat, press, or deadlift, you may have to wait a while for one of the 7 bars to free up.UPDATE - I told the GM I was a little disappointed with how busy the gym was. He too was shocked how busy it had been (second week of February). Told me to come back next week as part of a promotion to see if things had calmed down. It was a huge difference. The weight room always had at least one bar/platform available, and I didn't feel like I was getting in people's way.I signed up for a membership at the end of the week.
