This review pertains to Elise. Elise was my personal trainer for almost a year at Brazen Fitness. I had a fantastic experience. I achieved all the objectives that we had set at the beginning, from reduction in body fat to muscle growth to increased stamina. Elize is very knowledgeable, effective, professional and holds you accountable. What I appreciated in particular was the design of the workouts in a way that allowed to hit all the different targets. I strongly recommend Elise, no matter what your fitness goals are.

I travel a lot. A LOT. 180,000 miles just in one year and coming back to South Arlington is like coming home. Doesn't matter if it the first time or the 27th time I run into a fellow athlete or coach here, the vibe is the same. "How can we help make you better." The location is a hidden gem! Metro close and Walk to the Pentagon or Crystal City. Plenty of green space and healthy eating options in the local area. If you are a Govie or military, if you drop in, make sure they know it as they will take good care of you. For many of us, functional fitness is a way of life and the coaches at South Arlington live it- very experienced and they teach, support, and a kick in the butt if you need it. Drop in. Check it out.

2 yr Crossfitter, I dropped in to Brazen Fitness for a WOD on a hot July evening while in town for a conference. Brazen has great facilities and Mariella was very welcoming and gracious. She also had three brand new athletes attending their first class, and her detailed attention to proper form and scaling for each of them was impressive. I’d recommend Brazen to any level CrossFit athlete if you are in the area.

Updated review. Mehdi & Edith run an absolutely amazing shop here at South Arlington to make it feel like you're working out with a family instead of a generic gym membership. Between how much management cares, the excellent facility and the amazing community involved you really can't find a better gym in the NOVA area. Highly recommended.

LOVE this gym! I could not have asked for more from the Brazen coaches and community. They made it easy even when it was hard. Elise is an amazing coach, trainer, motivator and human! She knew when to push me and how to keep my moral as I built up my strength and endurance to complete the exercises. She helped me transition to group classes which were fun and inspiring! CrossFit *can* be intimidating and I questioned if I could really do it. I appreciated the coaches who helped me scale for my age and ability and have fun doing it! This is a welcoming community for ALL!

I started at Brazen about 4 weeks ago with zero CrossFit background and was intimidated to start, but I've had nothing but amazing experiences each class! The coaches are very knowledgable and attentive to each athlete; I've never felt unaccounted for, even in classes full of experienced CrossFitters. The gym's environment (curated by the coaches and other athletes), empowers me to ask questions and try new skills without judgment. Not only have I learned a lot about CrossFit, but my general fitness knowledge has grown rapidly. It's been exciting to see improvements in my strength and flexibility after only 10 classes! I highly recommend Brazen for CrossFitters of any level, whether you're from the area or are just dropping by! Joining Brazen has been the best decision I've made this year, by far:)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-Star Review: Brazen Fitness I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Brazen Fitness! From day one, the coaches made me feel welcomed, supported, and capable of more than I imagined. They take the time to teach proper form, explain the “why” behind every movement, and genuinely care about your progress and well-being. The community here is something special — encouraging, friendly, and always ready to cheer you on. Every workout is challenging in the best way, and I leave feeling stronger, more confident, and eager to return. Whether you’re brand new to fitness or a seasoned athlete, Brazen meets you where you are and helps you grow. I’m incredibly thankful for the amazing coaches and the positive environment they’ve created. Highly recommend to anyone looking to push their limits and have fun doing it! 💪🔥

I started with Brazen on a trial special they were offering and I enjoyed it so much I joined for another 8 classes. The coaches are amazing and really work with you on making sure you maintain proper form. Each class was an unexpected pleasure and I definitely learned a lot from them. I would stay but I travel a lot for work so I will definitely re-join when I return. Best workout experience ever.
