The Shop Gym is the most complete facility in Northern Virginia for those interested in improving their physique, strength training, and overall fitness. I have been a part of many gyms and have been to other great gyms in my training career and this place is bar none the best I have had the pleasure to frequent. Jason, Tim, and Skylar are nothing but accommodating to their clientele and passionate about their craft.
They are active in the fitness community, hosting powerlifting competitions, competition clinics for those looking to compete in bodybuilding, massage therapy, and local nutrition stores, etc. They even have a lounge complete with TV, fridge, and microwave for those who are dieting and bringing their meals.
This gym has a complete powerlifting area with several power racks, specialty barbells, an ER competition rack with calibrated competition plates, plate loaded sled for conditioning, and anything a powerlifter could possibly need. For bodybuilding, there are several hammer strength machines, specialty machines like a the pullover machine, full sets of dumbbells going up to 150’s, several pieces of cardio equipment, and even their own posing room for those getting ready for competition.
Even with all the aforementioned equipment; it is the people and the environment that make this place special. There are athletes in every shape, size, and level of training experience. Coaches for every discipline. I have yet to meet anyone who isn’t willing to help one another or hasn’t been anything besides kind and respectful to one another. The culture that is being built here is something to be a part of if you want to take your fitness to...
Read moreA small business but a massive gym. Everything you could ever possibly want in a training facility. If you are looking for a truly 'judgement free zone', this is it. The energetic atmosphere is contagious as soon as you walk in the building. The wonderful thing is though, that you can come in with your headphones on and never say a word, or socialize and connect with other enthusiastic athletes from all backgrounds. It is exactly what you want to make of it.
Myself, and many, many others like me consider this place a second home, and for good reason. The owners have poured their passions into this place, and it shows. They are also always willing to listen to suggestions or criticism, and actually take action accordingly.
This pandemic is not easy on anyone, especially small business owners. I for one would not even consider canceling my membership during this time. I would be devastated if The Shop Gym was no longer there when all of this is over. I am eagerly looking forward to walking through those...
Read moreThis is the training facility of my dreams. I can't even use the word "gym" because it doesn't do this place justice. By far the best equipment under one roof. The place is a massive nearly 30,000 sq ft. I see people from all walks of life and their disciplines all vary from Powerlifters, Strongman, Bodybuilders, Crossfit, you name it. The community and atmosphere are like nothing I've ever experienced. So much love and support flowing throughout this establishment. This is a family-owned business, not a commercial gym, and the owners are on a first name basis with every member. We are all literally one big family there! They often seek input from us to make sure we have everything we need so we can train the way we want to train! I cant stress this enough....if you haven't been to The Shop, stop whatever you are doing...
