About Urban Evolution
Now at two locations: Alexandria and Manassas!
We hate gyms. In fact, we think most people hate going to the gym. Just about everyone who’s involved with Urban Evolution did at one time.
And why shouldn’t they? Treadmills with televisions in front of them? Arrogant trainers? Facilities that boast about how new and clean their equipment is? Clearly, something has been lost in the concept of fitness lately. If you need distraction from your workout, maybe your workout is the problem!
At Urban Evolution, we believe in having a good time while working out. We think the most effective ways to get in shape involve doing things your body was meant to do, and doing it in a way that’s actually fun. And by fun, we don’t mean it’ll be pleasant or perfectly safe. We mean it’ll be hard work, and you’ll get sweaty.
But you’ll also learn to do things that someone who spends years going to their $40-a-month Globo-Gym just won’t be able to do, because we teach functional fitness. If you work out your muscles on various machines for years and get totally cut, but you still can’t lift a bag of mulch, what’s the point? Our brand of fitness will help you do things better in the real world.
We don’t need fancy equipment, and there are no tricks. We think you can do it, too. That’s why we’re here! We’ll help you get in shape in a way that fits you best and challenges you every day, every time you come into the gym. You’ll start looking at the world differently. That’s what we’re about, and that’s why we think you’ll love it, too! Come see for yourself why we’re Washington DC’s premiere and fastest-growing fitness experience!

A Note From Kate:
To Urban Evolution and Everyone Who Makes It Possible: On March 4th, I attended the grand opening of Urban Evolution’s second facility in Manassas, VA. As others have elsewhere lauded, this gym is an impressive tribute to alternative fitness. But what I think of when I remember March 4th isn’t the facility so much as [...]
