DC Fit at Union Market — Attraction in Washington

I absolutely love my DCFit family. I’ve trained here for a little over 4 months, and the energy is amazing. DCFit are a group of trainers located inside Total Source Fitness at Union Market. Each of the DCFit trainers are knowledgeable and kind, and they do a great job of making clients feel welcomed.

I train with Vaughn, and when I say he’s the best I mean it. When I started training with him I’d come off a foot injury and had limited mobility/flexion from my ankle down. He’s done so well with rehabbing my foot that I stopped going to PT. He starts you with a base workout plan, but as he gets to know you and you him, he tweaks your program for you specifically. I love that bc it’s small group training, but still client specific. I train with up to 5 ppl at a time, and we’re never doing to the same thing.

Total Source (the gym) is HUGE! They have a lot of equipment and pretty much anything you’d need to hit your fitness goals. Some of the machines are older, but I’ve noticed improvements in the short time I’ve been there. I can appreciate it. And the staff at the gym are also friendly. Now, this is a proper box gym in that summer time is HOT. Bring your water and towel bc you will sweat out every ounce of water you’ve...

Overall my experience has been extremely positive. I started working out in September after being out of the gym and workout regimen for 3 years. My goal is to get back in shape, lose some pounds, tone and strength training. When I reached out to Manny, who I had trained with for 6 years, I found out that he was now at DC Fit. I have to admit I was a little hesitant about driving from MD into DC but I knew that Manny wouldn’t steer me wrong. DC Fit has all of the equipment that you would expect or need in a gym to get a good workout. The staff and personal trainers are awesome!! Polite, helpful and they all present an inviting environment.

My main objective for joining the gym was to start training again with Manny. The results that I achieved when training with him in the past were awesome. Although the Pandemic stopped me from going to the gym, I still worked out at home and Manny checked in on me, Why? Because that’s the kind of person he is, someone with a big heart who cares about the people he trains and their overall health and well being. Since getting back into the gym with Manny, I have started to rebuild and gain strength and endurance. I can say that it was the best decision I...

Coach Johnny helped jumpstart my heavy lifting routine before the end of 2023. Initially, I planned to train with him at DC Fit for six months, but the commute from NW to NE wasn’t sustainable for me. But, bay bee - can we talk about my one-month gains, real quick? Coach Johnny designed these fun heavy lifting circuits that kept your mind and muscles engaged. Within two weeks, I went from benching the 45lbs bar to around 80lbs (squeals in piglet!!) The equipment at DC Fit was foreign to me, and within a month, I learned that the lat pulldown machine has at least 2 different hand-grip attachments that target different muscles. He.Will.Have.You.Use.All. (gird yourself) On my own, I would not have been able to adjust them or even know what they were for. Fortunately, Coach Johnny’s experience in the gym, and on the field (former athlete,) made DC Fit’s intimidating “Brolic Bro” atmosphere a playful space for an emerging Muscle Mami. Exactly the hard launch I needed for 2024. I hate that DC traffic interrupted our training plan. Definitely worth the investment. I highly recommend. #GetSwole
