I took 4 classes here through Classpass, the staff aside from 1 person came across as cold or condescending. Aside from that in one class we did a circuit consisting of shoulder press, curls, rows and squats we were told if we dropped the weights we would have to do 50 pushups, during this circuit I felt an unusual pain in my left bicep but still decided to push through the circuit which has still been lingering several days after the workout. This approach is unacceptable and is inviting people to get injured as people should feel comfortable taking a break if they are feeling fatigued or if something doesn't feel right.
Conclusion: I would not recommend Bodymass if you are a novice to weightlifting or if you have a history of injuries or mobility issues. Some of the exercises and warm ups are pretty advanced so you would struggle with the workouts. If you are looking for group fitness classes in the dc area there are a lot better options for gyms which are beginner friendly with a warmer staff and environment.
Please disregard the owners comment on the bottom about the open house I originally planned to go to it but after my poor experience at my last workout I canceled it and will not be attending it and don't have any plans of giving Bodymass another chance.
