Best gym in DC, great staff, great equipments.Don't like much the hours since I'd prefer longer night hours. But that's the only weak point

I have been part of this gym for over 10yrs - the leadership of the gym has created a community of fun, informative and welcoming. The coaches are smart, engaging and will always answer questions. Never once have I felt that the classes (CF included) were... beyond me or that only the 'cool kids' could participate. Thank you Balance for changing my life!read more
