I am so happy to be back at Bodymass Gym in Arlington for morning small group training sessions. The pandemic took a toll on me and while I... participated in live virtual classes, I lost ground. I was reluctant to return but quickly rebuilt my confidence and began to see progress again! There are multiple things I love about Bodymass Gym 1) high-quality trainers with a keen eye for optimizing posture and form, 2) 4- week purpose-built routines, 3) supportive group participants, 4) gym dog- trainers who welcomed you in and supervised routines. I am a physical therapist and am selective about my providers- highly recommend Bodymass Gym!read more

***2021 Update - still a member and still immensely grateful for this incredible gym and trainers. Bodymass has done a phenomenal job pivoting in the... face of the pandemic, and is poised to rise like a phoenix from the ashes!If you just want to move your body and sweat, you can go to any flavor of the week "gym" to splat and WOD it up with your bros -- or be gawked at by the bros. You could also just light a bag of money on fire and achieve essentially the same outcome.Or, you could invest in yourself and change your life at Bodymass.Two years in to partaking in their "small group classes", I can, with a clear conscious, say this place is the best (the quotes around small group classes is because it's more like personal training that doesn't feel like personal training when you pay your credit card bill). The work put in at Bodymass pays dividends outside of the gym - more focus to make each day more productive and physically stronger in all of my other sports and just in life.Primarily strength training, every four weeks a new program begins that builds on the previous. Crafted to be useful for all abilities from the person who has never picked up a dumbbell to the pro power lifter, no one should ever say, "ooooo weight lifting isn't for me". The HIIT classes are 30 minutes of heavenly hell that really kick things up a notch. Nutritional coaching, body composition monitoring, and in-house physical therapists that ACTUALLY get your problems fixed rounds out their offerings and majorly sets them apart.Check out Bodymass, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain - speaking from experience!read more

My husband and I have been Bodymass members since the beginning, and quickly grew to love the sense of community surrounding the gym, which is due in... large part to the care and thoughtfulness of its owners Kris and Virginia. In addition to surrounding their clients with amazing trainers, they put a true focus on formulating workouts around form and enhancing mobility, which is so often overlooked in traditional gym/group training settings. Since relocating outside the DMV area, we have utilized their virtual services enjoy staying connected to the gym and have yet to find comparable trainers where we are now. Virtual personal training during COVID has been a lifesaver!read more

Bodymass is an awesome little gym for strength training. My fiancee and I were newbies to lifting, and have always been very intimidated by big gyms.... Bodymass is a small team atmosphere where we got a lot of hands on training from great coaches. We've been members for more than a year, and have loved every class!read more

Great gym where you can get a personal training experience in a small class setting that wont break the bank. The trainers are great, helpful and... very personable. Don't be intimidated all fitness levels are welcomed with open arms. Give them a try from home during covid with their virtual classes or if things are normal again do what I did and try out of few Build classes in person. I think you will be back after your first time.read more

Great gym and even better community! I came to Bodymass after moving to the area and I was looking for a gym that offered strength-based classes.... Having trained at a commercial gym for a couple years, I wanted a place that would provide training structure/instruction to progress my strength while minimizing injury. Bodymass has done all this and more.I have joined a phenomenal community here where I feel welcome and encouraged everyday. I've personally gotten to know many of the members as well as the coaches and it's been so rewarding to see both my progress and the progress of others. There are people from all fitness background, beginner to advanced, so I can always find someone pushing me to become better.I workout at both the Arlington and DC locations; they are both excellent.Thanks Bodymass!read more

Great gym with a great fitness philosophy/methodology. It is apparent that they put a lot of thought into their programs. They offer three main... programs: Build, Blast, and Burn.Build: Strength training focused on "the big lifts". The class begins with a warm-up and accessory exercises to compliment the big lift of the day (bench, squat, deadlift, shoulder-press). It's all very well put together and really helps develop the lift. There is no HIIT in these classes, but the pace does elevate the heart rate and provide some cardio benefit. They work on 4-week cycles and each cycle uses some variation of the big lifts to keep it fresh.Blast: This is Bodymass's HIIT workout. It's not the most challenging HIIT class out there but it allows room for variation if you want more or less of a challenge. I was always able get a quality workout. Like "build" it's well thought out and serves to compliment other lifts and produces a result greater than the sum of it's parts.Burn: A 30-minute cardio session. Can be a very challenging explosion of cardio output. Because of the fast pace of the class the quality of the session is more dependent on the trainer running it than their other offerings. Sign up for Virginia's classes for some of the best-run cardio workouts in the area.Bodymass incorporates a great deal of evidence-based methodology in their programs. They also offer DEXA scans, RMR tesing, body composition challenges, and individual training. It was really cool to get DEXA scans before and after 6 intensive months of lifting. I subjectively felt I made progress, and also saw my results quantitatively. Would definitely recommend this gym.read more

This is the best workout studio I've ever been to! All of the instructors I've had have been great, helping me with my form and answering any... questions I have. I highly recommend, especially if you want to work on your form or start building muscle.Their high intensity class called Burn has almost made me puke a couple of times, but afterwards I felt great! If you're looking for a great high intensity class with a little bit of strength building that's the class for you! It's only 30 minutes but it'll make you work harder than any other 45 minute or hour long class I've taken.I recommend their Build classes for anyone looking to perfect their form and increase overall strength.You can purchase class packages through them or find some of their classes on ClassPass.read more

Wow, where do I begin. First, Bodymass is the best gym I have ever been to, period. That says a lot coming from me as a TV host, sports anchor and... reporter I have lived in six states and two countries and come from a very athletic family. What makes Bodymass stand out among the rest is the owners Virginia Kinkel and Kris Peterson. They are the most knowledgeable trainers I have ever worked with. Having covered professional athletes for 15 years and my brother is a former MLB pitcher, I have always had access to the best resources and I can tell you Virginia and Kris are the real deal. Not only are they experienced trainers, but they care about their clients success. This is not like other gyms I have gone to where the coaches are not monitoring proper form. They also make sure you activate the right muscles during active warm-ups and are very knowledgeable when it comes to injuries and prevention. The best part is the entire team at Bodymass are kind people and so are the members. The gym environment is very supportive, and not intimidating at all. I feel like it is family atmosphere every time I walk through the front doors. There is a reason Bodymass has top rating reviews. I am telling you, you won’t find a better gym.read more

Bodymass Gym is an awesome facility. Their classes are so much better than the standard "HIIT" classes you find everywhere. They not only have a... class that uses barbells (which is impossible to find) but the supervision by the owners and other trainers is top notch. They are constantly making sure you are in perfect position and pushing yourself!read more
