Reformation Fitness - Shaw — Local services in Washington

Nightmare of a class. For reference, I'm 26 years old, 5'8", and 148 pounds. This review is for the MetCon class with Brittney. This was my first HIIT class in 5 months, but I am no stranger to them. I was having a tremendously hard time keeping up with the regulars, and the instructor made no attempt to modify my workout to be commensurate to my current skill level. I have been to upwards of 30 such HIIT classes in my life, and I have never seen an instructor not capable of making online adjustments to the class member's workout to suit their needs. This instructor was either incapable, or unwilling, to do so. The former means she shouldn't be employed, and the latter means she's negligent and elitist. It was very clear to her that I was struggling. At several points in the workout I felt dizzy and lightheaded, and I had to leave 30 minutes in because I felt I was on the verge of passing out. The instructor, Brittney, didn't utter a word when I apologized and said I couldn't do more. Instead, she laughed and let me leave without so much as an acknowledgement.

Have told all my workout friends to not step foot in this place, as it was a humiliating waste of money. There are an abundance of such gyms in D.C., go to one where your body and person...

I love reformation fitness! It's close to home so super convenient and has quickly become my go-to workout place - so much so that I purchase monthly packages so that I can go all the time and without the restriction of classpass. Everyone is super friendly, the instructors are professional and incredibility skilled at their craft. They do a fantastic job of pushing us outside of our comfort zones but always in a safe and controlled way. And I value that the instructors whose classes I got to regularly have made the effort to learn my name. I like that there is a nice mix of class options that I can choose from including: Spinning, TRX Fusion, MetCon, Bootcamps and Reformer Pilates, as well as classes offered at 7.30pm on a weekday evening. The Saturday Sweat sessions are my favorite and always set my weekend up right.All in all a very convenient place to workout, clean and modern equipment, friendly atmosphere and fantastic fitness...

3 stars for the ease in finding the right class. Granted, it was a rainy day and the studio was completely crowded. However, I went to where I thought I was supposed to go, and it was the pilates studio. I then went to the right studio and found out I had to go upstairs. Not the end of the world.

4 stars for the workout. I left incredibly sweaty, but the workout was only okay. I think our instructor was a sub, which typically means they aren't fully prepared. There was a lot of "let me look at my phone for what is next" going on.

Overall, I would go back and check it out again. Everyone leaving the building was soaked in sweat (a positive in my mind) and it was clear that the group of people who regularly go...
