Such a great experience at DC Row. Their location (Dupont) is clean, welcoming, and inviting. I’ve been looking for a convenient place to workout and it’s right near the Dupont Circle metro. They also have a cute ceiling filled with marigolds that make class so fun (which the owner crafted). The first class is also complimentary! This weekend they’re having an event for Howard Homecoming and a Halloween event next weekend.

EDIT: I originally gave a very harsh review, when I was in the wrong and misread the confirmation email about class start times and their address. I am so sorry to DC Row and am looking forward to the future class. They responded very kindly and cordially to my review and were very understanding. Apologies, again for my misunderstanding and original negative review.

Fantastic! I love this place! I’ve maybe taken 4-5 classes at DC Row and I always leave feeling like I received a great full body workout. I just had my first Scull & Sculpt class with Kristen Duncan this morning and I’m currently recovering as I type this. Kristen is extremely motivating and proved to be a highly knowledgeable instructor. In my opinion she put together a perfect high intensity/recovery/off the row machine (modified pushups, bicep curls, abdominal crunches) workout. She was great at reminding you to be mindful of your form, to breathe and of the goals to reach during the class. Great communicator! Great feedback! I’m so glad we have DC Row in our neighborhood and hope that more people take advantage of this fantastic small business!

I can't believe that this place doesn't have more recent reviews! I moved to DC in September and immediately started attending classes at DC Row. This pandemic is never-ending, so the classes are smaller than they might have been before - I am often the only one. But, the machines are pretty well spread out and the instructors do a good job of following mandates for masks/vaccinations, so I wouldn't feel uncomfortable if the classes were fuller. I've been to all 3 of their class-types. The Crew Clinic is amazing for beginners to learn rowing technique; it's slower paced, but still a good workout. The Row Flow class is more endurance-based, and the Scull and Sculpt class (my fav) is more HIIT-based. Honestly, as someone who despises cardio with every. single. fiber. of my being... I was shocked at how much I truly enjoy rowing. All of the instructors have been great, too. Brittany is so fun and has amazing energy. Tina's classes kick my a** in the best way. I've also had classes with a couple of other instructors and they've all been wonderful. Overall - really great place. Great people. Great workout. I bring everyone who visits me to a class here and they all love it. If you've been thinking about it, or just want to try a new type of exercise - do it!

Added on class pass and walked all the way in the rain to the gym for it not to be at the address. The advertising on the doors and windows says DC Row, but it’s not for DC row. I called them a few times 10/15 minutes before my class hoping someone could tell me the right entrance, no answer. Won’t be going again— either update the branding on the door or pick up the phone. I’m out $14 because I had to cancel, never found the place.
