I’m way overdue in writing this review. Chris Garay is extremely knowledgeable, professional, kind and highly skilled. He has such a profound understanding of anatomy and is able to scale exercises for anyone. As someone who was told I should never workout by all of my doctors, my joints have never felt better and I owe it all to Physicality. After 7 years of constant back and knee pain, I’m virtually pain free and am so much stronger. Highly recommend coming here if you want to focus on strength, stability and mobility.

Can’t recommend this place enough. It’s addicting. Chris, Cory, and Shawn do an incredible job scaling each class and exercise so that it’s always challenging but attainable. I’ve had a long history of back, hip, knee, and shoulder injuries and their program has helped correct my structural and muscular imbalances and move me to a place where I’m virtually pain free.

This is an awesome place for strength training. As a physical therapist I loved that their class syllabus was structured to target strengthening of muscles which help to stabilize our joints. They don't have us just do a bunch of random exercises. They have a plethora of gymnastic specific equipment that non gymnasts can use.

I, a physical therapist, have been collaborating with coach Cory Hill to serve mutual clients for several years. Coach Hill with a record of World Champion in Taekwondo has very unique holistic approaches and is one of the best movement/exercise experts in DC area. He promotes and enhances best optimal outcomes safely for his clients. I highly recommend him and his facility.

Let me start this review by saying that I’m not generally one to write reviews. In fact, this may be the first review I’ve ever written. Also, because I’m about to go all-out fanboy on Physicality, I should probably mention that I was not prompted nor asked to write this review. Lastly, I was a personal trainer in a past life, which I mention just in case you think the additional context valuable. So, now that that’s out of the way…
Physicality is objectively one of the best gyms in the DMV, and probably the country (I know, big talk). The coaches, Chris and Cory, have such a deep knowledge

I'm a yoga teacher and I do 90 minutes of yoga six days a week. I go to class here a couple times a month to work on strength training and develop movement patterns that are missing from my daily yoga routine. These instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful and I trust them guide me without letting me hurt myself. It's also an intense and fun workout in a small group setting.

I was looking online for a trainer in DC to improve my strength in gymnastics and aerial acrobatics and found Physicality GST. Excited, I rushed the next day to check out the gym facility and meet the coaching team. My expectations were totally exceeded. Facility-wise - very well equipped with pretty much all you need for hard core gymnastics and strength training. But what is a facility without a coach? Chris is extremely knowledgeable, methodical, confident, versatile, and on top of that, a great cheerleader. Trust me, you will need it in strength training! As our sessions progress, I am impressed

Truly excellent, thoughtful and effective gymnastics-based strength and mobility training. I’ve been training with Physicality for a little over a year, and my shoulder strength and stability has increased dramatically.
