CrossFit Route 7

"I have been a member at CrossFit Route 7 (CRF7) for 3 months now. I came into CRF7 as a 50-year old with no weight lifting experience and various knee and shoulder surgeries behind me. To say the least, I came in with trepidation of hurting myself and many doubts on my ability to ‘keep up’. What I have learnt is the CrossFit is infintesimally scalable and the fact that all levels of people do the same workout feels rewarding and challenging at the same time. I have met beginners like me, veterans who fist-bump me at the end of class with an encouraging word of ‘great workout’, and amazing coaches who care. The gym is special - and what makes it special is the people. I have had ‘WOD- workout of the day’ classes with 9 different coaches over the last 3 months. Each one of them has a beautiful smile, an infectious positive energy, and serious coaching chops. The coaches are amazing at guidance, scaling the workouts to match my abilities, and watch over my technique and perfectly balance the push/pull of challenging me without leaving me dejected. I still begrudgingly (lazily) walk in the the box, but I know that all I have to do is show up - and I am in good hands. I always walk out suffering a bit and looking dead, but by the time I get home I feel proud of my achievement that day. Thanks to the folks at CRF7 for being my guides on the journey of building health, fitness and fulfillment. The learning curve 'seems' steep but with a lot of guidance and consistent attendance I am already seeing positive impacts on my health and mental well-being."

"Crossfit Route 7 is one of the finest fitness places I have been too. The members are welcoming and encouraging. They are my family. The owners and coaches are extremely caring of their members."

"I love this gym. They hosted a competition, and it was an incredible experience. The gym was clean and spacious, even with the number of competitors there. The competition was well-organized, the information sharing was perfect (especially for mildly anxious people who need all the details in advance, ahem). Check in was a breeze, the judges were kind, supportive, and called things correctly. They even had food onsite, which isn't the case at most competitions. The food was great, the swag bags (and winners’ bags) had amazing goodies that are actually useful- soft shirts, inscribed ice shaker bottles, and freebies/discounts to great stores?! I cannot say enough positive things about my experience there. If you are considering a competition or trying out CrossFit at this gym, DO IT."

"Never thought Crossfit with fit my daily schedule. The team from Route 7 is a great motivation to prioritize the workout. Fantastic atmosphere and great people."

"Really great Box to drop by / join if around the Tysons corner va area. They are located in the same warehouse right behind the Tesla dealership. The coaching staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about individuals needs and they have mandatory foundations program for new members which I think is a really important plus for any gym( I think you can test out of it but it's always good to get back to the basics ). The gym and bathrooms are kept clean which is awesome because nobody likes to pick up last weeks dirt. Also people are very friendly around the box and usually congregate and hang out after the workouts to chat and roll out which I think is another good indicator of the culture there."
