A great CrossFit affiliate. Awesome programming, great coaches, and lively membership. In 2019, I dropped in regularly for 6 months. They have tons of elite cross fitters in their membership. The 5:30 and 6:30 am classes are well attended, which was a really nice change from my home gym. The coaches ensured I felt welcomed, remembered me when I came back, and (most importantly) helped me improve my technique.
Their programming is AWESOME. Within a week, workouts rotate well among different areas of focus and skills. The lifting programming builds over each 12-week period so athletes can make consistent gains. The notes on the workout in their app are really informative and can help you make the most of the workouts. In 8 years of CF, their programming has been the best I've experienced. The best CF programming I've used
If I lived in Northern Virginia, I would definitely join this gym.
For a membership (even a punchcard), they require either their foundations course or a brief test-in. While this can be annoying, it ensures that novices build the proper skills and techniques without slowing down the classes.
Very friendly, came to this for a drop in session. Great space and good equipment.
CFA is top notch! We started about 10 months ago and have been impressed since walking through the doors. The programming is thoughtful, deliberate...and you're guaranteed to be challenged--both mentally and physically. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and helpful in correctly executing the technical movements, and vigorously encourage all members--from the newbie the seasoned athlete. The sense of community is impressive and is experienced when members celebrate milestones with a thunderous applause and loud cheering! So...stop debating and check out a free class. You'll be glad you did!

Having recently moved to Falls Church, and being somewhat new to Crossfit, it was a bit overwhelming to figure out which gym I wanted to join. After dropping in to a few other gyms, the crew at Adaptation was nice enough to let me spend a week at their gym, and after that it was a no brainer to make it my home gym. The coaches are extremely knowledgable and friendly, and the programming is excellent. In the short time I've been there, I've seen significant improvements in my lifts and benchmarks. The atmosphere is incredibly accommodating for veteran and novice Crossfitters alike, and I've been extremely satisfied with my decision to join their growing community.

Level I coach passing through the DC area and stopped by this box for one day session. Met the owner Dave who also coached the class. Excellent experience. This Box is the epitome of the Crossfit mission and community. Great vibe and energy, everyone was welcoming, the workout was killer and the facility had everything you need. If I lived within 20 miles, CF Adaptation is where I would train.

I'm picky about my gyms (been doing Crossfit for 5 years), and tried 4 area gyms before settling on Adaptation after moving to the DC area. I don't regret it one bit. I made HUGE improvements at this gym, on all fronts. My mile run improved by 2 minutes, and all of my strict lifts improved by at least 10 pounds. The programming and coaching are great. I went to the midday classes, and always experienced a fun and lighthearted, yet challenging atmosphere. I've moved away, but look forward to dropping in when I visit! I miss it!

I joined this gym in Dec. and absolutely love it! Prior to joining I had been a member of other gyms but wasn't getting anything out of them. I had paid tons of money for a personal trainer and even remember one of my goals being to do a push up. In the year I had that personal trainer I didn't achieve that goal. However, after 4 months of going daily to Crossfit Adaptation I was able to do one! This place is more then a gym. The support and friendships I've made along the past 8 months are priceless. I'll never forget the free class I went to thinking this gym is only for fit people who are interested in competing. After the free class was over I told the coach what I was looking for which included losing weight and getting healthier. She said something that truly stuck with me, if you can get your mind around the intimidation factor and walk through that door you've already accomplished something huge. So from that day on I fell in love with this place and am proud to say I've lost a total of 30lbs. When people ask me why I pay for this gym rather than a cheaper 24hr one I say I'm paying for so much more then a gym membership. I'm paying for 200 plus members that individually encourage me and help me gain confidence in myself everyday. I can't recommend this place enough. Try the free class on Saturdays!
I joined CFA in July 2014 as a true beginner to the sport. From the moment I stepped into the free introductory class, I felt welcomed. This gym is open to athletes at all levels. Each workout offers scaling options allowing you to challenge yourself at your comfort level. The coaches are approachable, knowledgeable and committed to the safety of the athletes. The community is very supportive and encouraging. The programming is challenging and provides me with great results. Good facility with plenty of equipment and space. I highly recommend CFA to anyone looking for a gym in the Arlington/Alexandria area.
I'm coming up on five years as a CFA member. I was tired of the boring classes offered at other gyms and personal training was too expensive. CFA has great coaches and programming. They take the introductory elements program seriously and ensure that members work safely through all movements.
The best part is the clientele - a great mix of athletes and working professionals, all looking to push themselves get a little bit better.
If you're looking for something different and want to try something new in an unpretentious setting, this is the place.

I went to Crossfit Adaptation to check out the facilities and look into becoming a member. However, they do not give a good Crossfit experience. If there is a way to make a Crossfit gym into a Globo Gym, they are trying. They gym looked overcrowded, and the owner, Curtis, showed up late to our introductory meeting. Then, even though I am familiar with Crossfit moves, it seemed like he was talking down to me. One of the most common complaints about Crossfit is that it is pretentious because they don't consider you a good "Crossfit Athlete," unless you know all of the moves and can perform them perfectly. Those critics must have gone to a gym like Adaptation. A good Crossfit gym is one that is personal and is focused on improving your fitness level. They care about getting you involved - completely opposite of how Adaptation operates. The owner, Curtis, couldn't care less if I joined or if I never came back - and with 20 coaches and full classes, why would he? The reason Crossfit is great is because coaches can help you during the classes and correct your form during the workouts. From what I can tell, there are two reasons why Curtis wanted me to take the beginners class. 1. They are greedy and wanted to charge me 225 dollars for something that I don't need. 2. They are not going to be able to provide you any individual help during classes because there are too many people. Neither of these things would happen at a GOOD Crossfit gym. The best thing about Crossfit in DC is that there are lots of other choices, so you don't have to settle for a bad experience like at Adaptation.
