If your ideal workout involves a coach, a group and a workout that is already planned for you, CrossFit is well represented around Fairfax and Arlington.
CrossFit Fairfax
CrossFit Fairfax on Dorr Avenue offers coach-led group classes built around strength, conditioning and functional movement, with workouts scaled to different ability levels.
CrossFit Burke
CrossFit Burke serves the Fairfax/Burke area with small-group coaching, strength and conditioning, plus youth programming.
Ballston CrossFit
Ballston CrossFit puts coached CrossFit in the middle of Arlington's Ballston neighborhood. In addition to CrossFit classes, it offers open-gym periods and HYROX-focused programming.
What to look for
If you're new to CrossFit, don't focus only on the workout.
Look at the onboarding process, class size, coaching style and how the gym handles scaling. A good introduction should make the movements understandable before asking you to move quickly.
And because class schedules change, check the current schedule before choosing a gym based on a particular workout time.
