Ascend is THE best fitness studio in the DMV. All of the instructors are very friendly and the community is like a family. The cycle studio and strength training studio (Underground) are extremely clean and updated. If you want to be challenged, encouraged, and part of an awesome fitness community, try Ascend!
Efficient classes, on time, good welcoming people, and top notch equipment. Very reputable business!
50 minutes flew by in the class with Kat! She keeps things fun throughout the entire class. Can't wait to come back!
Great classes. Great instructors.

Amazing community of teachers and athletes. I use Ascend for interval training and it is exactly what I need. I've been a fitness professional for 11 years which has made me a complete snob on fitness classes. Ascend cycle and Underground are high quality, friendly, fun, and effective workouts. Also, it's always clean and punctual.

Ascend Cycle is a great small business in Del Ray Virginia (between Arlington and Alexandria). I have been to both their original studio for spin classes and the downstairs annex space with the expanded space for mixed use. I did a class there that was a combination of spin and off-bike mat exercises.
What I liked: the new space was great. The sound system was fantastic! I think they heard the feedback that the music at the original studio was not coming through with the highest quality and really wanted to fix this. There was also lots of space between bikes. I wish I did a bike only class since having the class split up into two groups made it a bit disorganized.
Everyone is always super nice at check-in.
Also loved the mint towels at the end of the class.
What I did not like: The workout was closer to barre and a bit annoying given that my legs were already sore from another workout. It would have been great if they provided descriptions of what the combo class consists of. The instructor also did not seem to provide personalized attention to any of the groups (group on bike or off bike). I didn't feel them engaged in my workout and felt like I was at a workout at Golds Gym at times with the super tall guy near me being in arms distance (gross stranger sweat). I know they had just opened up the space so I imagine it will get better.

Great studio and classes. The space is a bit small, but the instructors are top notch.
