Pamela and her team have created such a special place. It so remarkable that such a diverse group of people come together in this temple of good health, humor and with a feeling of community. There is zero vanity, the space reaks of total authenticity, it is rare to find such a space.Gosh I show up all clumsy and uncoordinated, quite clueless generally… but there is absolutely no judgement, only patience and support. What a gift for the community! Less

I absolutely LOVE this place. Great community of neighborhood people. All the coaches are knowledgeable and caring in the way they teach the classes and make accommodations/adjustments for anyone that needs them. Classes are always on-time and the workouts are continually varying in focus; strength, mobility, cardio, high intensity. etc. In my 6 years of membership, attending 3-5 workouts per week I can't recall repeating the same workout, ever.

I have never been consistent with any type of workout before I joined UA. The tiered membership helps a ton. I can sign up for the amount of workouts that are realistic to work into my schedule/lifestyle and therefore be confident I will get to my classes each week. I also love the community vibe- within a week or two there will be familiar and friendly faces every time you go. By joining UA you are also supporting a long standing small business and the Mt Airy neighborhood! Less

An incredible community that supports fitness across all levels and ages. Provides a place and a path to build strength without intimidation or posturing. Just a collection of folks supporting each other working towards their individual goals. Big fan. Less

After years of hearing my friends and husband sing the praises of Urban Athlete I finally joined the club! Taking Isofit classes which are great. Pamela, Ryan and Chris are true coaches - they teach you, support you and push you. Love the neighborhood vibe of the gym. I'm a convert! Less

I have been working out for decades and belonged to many gyms from national chains to smaller local places like Urban Athlete. This is hands down the best gym I have ever belonged to. Expert programming and varied workouts. Knowledgeable, friendly coaches who actively pay attention and provide guidance-they don't just stand there. A wonderful and welcoming Mt.-Airy-chill-vibe sense of community. Works for all ages and fitness levels-though your fitness will increase, quickly. Highest possible recommendation-five stars is not enough.Update: UA like all gyms was challenged by the pandemic. They made it through better than ever.Check it out! Less
