Been a 'member' since August - couldn't be happier with the choice of locations and coaches. I especially like the atmosphere and the friendliness of everyone that goes here - it's hard to find a gym where the minute you walk in the door you are friends with everyone.

*****

Great gym with a community atmosphere. Challenging group workouts with loads of personal attention from coaches who live what they teach. Flexible membership plans, and a sister gym across town that opens up a whole bunch more options to fit your schedule. It really can't be beat. I actually look forward to working out at this gym!

*****

Potomac Crossifit has completely changed my outlook on fitness. Never have I been so excited for a workout in my life. The energy at this gym is like no other! Big thanks to all of the coaches at PCF who help keep us motivated during the intense workouts!

*****

Great gym for anyone that wants to get into excellent shape and does not have tons of free time to spend in the gym.

*****

great workout, great atmosphere, great coaches!

PCF is more than a gym, it’s a family. I was a colligate athlete and avid runner, without question my fitness is better now than it ever has been. I would rather workout on my own then go to a global gym now.

*****

Potomac Crossfit has completely changed the way I think about fitness.

PCF Coaches keep things interesting by moving you through the daily strength, mobility, and ever-changing Workout of the Day... and PCF members keep things lively with their competitiveness and camaraderie in and outside of the gym.

I'm always happy to workout at Potomac, because I know the workout will be hard, worth it, and that I'll get to see my community of friends.

*****

Potomac is a great gym and the best representation of well thought out and well executed Crossfit programming and environment. The community is top notch.

*****

No doubt the best gym I’ve ever belonged to! PCF promotes a welcoming environment for all of it’s members. Young and old, male or female, couch potatoes to top tier athletes, PCF can change more than just your fitness but your entire lifestyle. The coaches are friendly and knowledgeable, and they will guarantee that you will get out as much as you put in.

*****

Potomac Crossfit hands down is the best gym in the DC Metro Area. PCF may from the outside be a little intimidating, but coming from a girl extremely out of shape/self conscience when she joined...it was the best decision I have ever done! From the supportive coaches encouraging you to do your best at all times (inside and outside of the gym), to the other members cheering you on while you finish the workout that may be taking you longer....you will succeed more than you would of ever thought! PCF is Definitely a Second Family for me now!!!

*****

I joined Potomac CrossFit while living in DC for the Summer. In two months time, I saw more results than I could have possibly imagined. The coaches are fantastic, and the members are welcoming, helpful, and inspiring. If you're serious about getting into better shape, Potomac is where it's at. I can't wait to move back to the area and WOD with these guys again.

*****

At 26, I have been a HS/collegiate athlete, and a US Marine, constantly working out and preparing my body for the next level. In four months I have seen better results than what usually takes me around a year. Certainly worth a try.

*****

What Casablanca is to movies, PCF is to gyms. If you want to best, you drink Chateau Margaux; if you want to train to be your best, go to PCF. The people are sexy at PCF, which can be intimidating at first. Just give it a try and keep going and soon you're sexy yourself.

*****

Potomac Crossfit's greatest assets are its super sexy trainers and "all-Ke$ha-all-the-time" party atmosphere.
Seriously, the thing that sets PCF (and Crossfit in general) apart is the group dynamic that develops among coaches and members. Gym members cheer each other on and generally stick around until each member finishes the workout of the day. Over time, you can gauge your performance against peers and the gym's all-stars.
Each day is programmed by the staff, and everybody does the same workout (scaled to ability level, of course). This ensures that things stay fresh and interesting.
Significantly better than watching TV for a half hour on the stairmaster.

encouraging environment. top notch coaches!

*****

Everyone who goes to PCF loves it for their own reason(s). Make your own decision. Get to the FREE class on Sunday at 11:00. We'll see you then!

*****

PCF is the far and away the best gym in the DC Metro area. The variety and scalability of the workouts make it a great option for people of all abilities. The community at the gym (and out) keeps you motivated and the coaches are top notch - informed, fun, helpful, motivating, and in shape. Maybe that last one sounds obvious but I can't tell you how many class instructors I saw at Globogyms that were out of shape.

Keep up the great work PCF!

*****

If you want to get stronger, faster, and healthier, join Potomac Crossfit.

If you want to catch up on your magazine reading while "working out" on an eliptical trainer, you will probably be happier somewhere else.

I joined PCF about a year ago and have not felt better in my entire life. The coaches and athletes create an environment where you are supported and working out safely, but you are always pushed to go harder, faster and to get better. No one will scream in your face -- it's not boot camp -- but no one will let you dog a workout either.

*****

3 years of being a member of a Globogym got me pretty much nowhere. Less than 1 year at PCF and I am 45 lbs lighter, and in the best shape I have been in for at least 10 years. The coaches are phenomenal and the sense of community among the athletes is what really separates PCF from other gyms. People are helping each other get better and feel better, not waiting in line for the bicep curl machine.

*****

Potomac CrossFit is hands down the best gym in Arlington. The combination of world-class coaching with a great focus on fitness and nutrition, the intense and competitive environment for all level of athletes and a friendly atmosphere of people. No other gym can replicate the environment to challenge yourself at every workout, increase your level of fitness and health like PCF.

*****

Every time I'm visiting DC the only place I think about going to is PCF. Great coaches and atmosphere.

*****

Crossfit (when done right, with great coaches) is hands-down the best way to be fit that exists. It's never boring, it doesn't take long - you'll be in shape faster doing Crossfit than any other activity. Crossfit done at PCF is phenomenal. The coaches and clients are all awesome - it's a fun atmosphere where you can go to challenge yourself and get as good a workout as you put your mind to. Crossfit as a gym concept is generally expensive and I know Potomac's box is more expensive than some other local Crossfit boxes, but their programming and coaching can't be beat. Drop in for the free workouts - you'll get hooked.

*****

By far the best gym in the region. Potomac Crossfit will not only get you in the best shape of your life, you'll also make many great friends to boot. Before Crossfit, I went to you standard gym and can say that many times I dreaded going to workout. I either wasn't in the mood or wasn't motivated. I can honestly say that has never happened in the two and a half years I've been at Potomac Crossfit! In fact, the opposite is true. Potomac Crossfit is not only good for the body, but good for the soul!

I used to go to the typical Globo Gym for years. Ran several marathons and triathlons and played a number of sports. I thought I was in good shape until I stepped into Potomac CrossFit. Wow. I found what true fitness really is. I've been going there for 2 1/2 years now and hands down, I am in the best shape of my life. Not to mention all the great friends I've made going there.

Check it out. It will change your life.

*****

Unlike other gyms in the area, PCF provides the facilities and the programming that overwhelmingly results in the physical and mental transformation of its athletes. While PCF is a business, the coaches have a genuine concern for their clients health and well-being and for the PCF brand. While other gyms offer workout programs, I find it hard to believe they have the same sense of community as PCF. This sense of community can be witnessed at various fundraising events, crossfit competitions or celebrations held in honor of various birthdays, anniversaries, engagements, etc. PCF will give you the means and the knowledge necessary to transform your body and the ability to live a healthy lifestyle

*****

Potomac CrossFit will be the best choice you ever make for your fitness. The coaches are super knowledgeable and always happy to help. The athletes are top notch and friendly. PCF injects fitness into people's lives and fosters a community of support to help you reach your health and fitness goals, no matter how large or small those goals might be.

*****

Been a member for more than 3 years now. At the age of 35 I am at the best shape of my life.

*****

Crossfit is an awesome challenge that will test you every day, and the results are worth it. PCF provides a great atmosphere -- the coaches know everyone's name, take the time to teach correct techniques in every class, and overall it's an incredibly well-run gym that gets results.

*****

Hands down the best gym I've ever belonged to. If only I had a place like this in high school or college.

*****

I'm a lifelong athlete and have worked/tried out most of the various gyms in the area and can tell you hands down CrossFit is the best. CrossFit has something for everyone....if you are a beginner, this is the fastest/safest way to get in shape and if you are already in great shape, crossfit will take you to new levels.Besides the results, the environment really matters...the coaches and members are all super friendly/supportive and always willing to help.

*****

The best environment I have ever seen for working on your fitness and improving your overall health.

*****

I have never felt more challenged and fit during my time at Potomac Crossfit. Its hard work but with great coaches who are approachable to help you through the process of getting results. I would give it a 10 if I could.

*****

Potomac Crossfit will help people reach a new level of fitness that they may not even know is possible. It doesn't matter what age you are, or what type of shape you are currently in. If you want to get results, give Potomac Crossfit a try.

*****

Potomac CrossFit is hands down the best training you're going to get in the area. It also has a great sense of community and is a great way to meet people if you're new to the area.

*****

Potomac Crossfit is the best. No Contest.
Great Coaches. Real Results. Good Atmosphere. The Best.

*****

I started working out at Potomac Crossfit due to the quality training. I'm still a member more than a year later due to the quality of the people (both members and coaches).

*****

Went to a Globogym for years with nominal success. PCF's personal attention and camaraderie, coupled with the intensity of the work, have given me better results in only six months.
