CrossFit Invictus - Washington DC

It was amazing and I can't believe I finally faced my fears and just went in! Grateful Rebecca pushed me and modified me when she needed to!

It was hot 🥵 but a great intro to CrossFit. We’ll see you tomorrow

Matteus’ classes are so thorough. Great stretching, great teaching, great workouts. He’s really pushed my perceived limits.

A gym with a plethora of knowledge amongst its members and its coaches. Abundance of equipment that is well maintained coupled with programming and scaling options for all levels of fitness and experience. Competitive population at this box, which makes it perfect for self-growth and healthy challenges.

Excellent in all respects. Coaches are knowledgeable, engaging, and supportive. Workouts are challenging, facilities are first-class. Been here for around six weeks and am already seeing significant results.

Awesome workout, first time in a CrossFit gym … instruction was clear, community was encouraging, great energy, workout kicked my ass, looking forward to the next one.

Great first impression Ali today. Got to know everyone’s skill level for muscle ups before jumping into the skill for a good technical class before the wod. I look forward to making this my new gym.

The positive culture and environment at CrossFit Invictus really stand out, from friendly greetings to a great warmup and class. I appreciate the two workout tracks based on equipment preference. The workout was challenging in a good way, so I’ll definitely be back.

Exceptional coaching and programming. Plenty of space and equipment. Highly recommend whether you’re an experienced competitive crossfitter or a beginner.

Allison was great! She make sure every movement was explained well. It was my first class and she was very encouraging.

The session was challenging and amazing, with my heart rate through the roof! I loved pushing myself and look forward to becoming more comfortable with the movements and workouts. Amazing gym!

Class was great! Did a drop-in while in town for business. Coach AJ and the rest of the class were extremely welcoming and made us feel like part of the gym even though we were only there for one day.

Great gym! Sam was super welcoming as soon as I stepped into the gym. The gym is huge! Parking could be difficult during game days, but I was able to find a spot nearby. The gym is too far for me to become a regular member but I will definitely keep my out out on specialty classes, especially those focused on hyrox training. Everyone I met, members and non members were also very friendly

The positive energy and professionalism of the trainers keep me coming back with pleasure every time.

The work was quick and good. Very sustainable

My fav gym in the area after trying out 4-5 different other gyms. Prep Class by Mateus is the next level amazing class if you want to challenge yourself. Highly recommended!

Lisa was a great coach! Thank you for the pointers before, during, and after the workout. Lisa deserves a raise!

Great class. Really appreciate being able to drop in!

CrossFit Invictus in Washington DC is great, with many group classes and a welcoming, supportive vibe. It feels absolutely inclusive to everyone, which I really appreciate.

I love CrossFit Invictus in Washington DC, the equipment and facilities are excellent. The class variety is awesome, and I’ve seen results since joining.

I’ve had an amazing experience at Invictus CrossFit. The coaching and environment are top-notch. Lisa is incredible, very professional, knowledgeable, and always willing to help you improve your technique and truly understand CrossFit. Highly recommend to anyone looking to grow and get better every day.

Excellent atmosphere and the coaching is on point! Do like the committed club and the cool kick ass stickers one can get. Nice touch and who doesn’t want homemade stickers from Coach Rebecca!!!!

Devin is an excellent coach. He clearly explains and demonstrates everything we’re going to be doing in the workout, which makes it easy to follow along and feel prepared going in. He stays engaged with the class the entire time—not just at the beginning—which makes a huge difference during the workout itself. He’s always watching, offering real-time feedback, and stepping in with helpful cues when needed. He’s also incredibly personable and easy to approach, so I never feel shy about asking questions or getting pointers. He’s helped me better understand specific areas where I can improve, especially with my snatch and squat technique. I think he is an asset to Invictus and truly elevates the overall coaching experience.

Very good coaching and ques, ran class well and on time, very energetic for 5am class.

Had a really great time with my first class! Maria gave a really solid breakdown and provided a lot of helpful cues and motivation throughout!

Mateus Ferro runs an awesome program, prep class. Great coaching, insights, workouts especially coming from a games athlete. Some of the best coaching I’ve come across from many CrossFit gyms I’ve been to.

Great coach! Tons of energy and I managed to learn some things while dropping in (much better lat work). Thank you Maria.

Great coaching - maintained great vibe for group of experienced athletes this morning - solid coaching g tips and kept us moving and on time

Al was lovely. Very relaxed and welcoming way of coaching which was exactly what I needed as a newbie. His workout demonstrations were very informative and helpful and he guided me through several adjustments to my form throughout the class which was great. I hope my next class is with Al again!

Great music & scaling options with Rebecca!

Very dope and hospitable thank you guys so much

Dantebis an awesome dude! Best coach everrrr.

I didn’t attend class, but Devin and another coach working the desk were there to help me join today and they were extremely friendly!! Gave me a tour, helped me with the clock system, and answered all my questions!

Very nice, professional, welcoming and motivating!

It was Becca but put Lisa cause I messaged her on instagram. Both great ladies, super welcoming and an overall great atmosphere!!

Devin is a coach who cares.

She coordinated the class very well, in general. Even for me having English as a second language, sometimes during training it is difficult to express myself, but she was attentive and understood my doubts during training.

Devin brings a contagious energy and his coaching style is tough but fun! He always find a way to accommodate difficult movements making sure you get the desired stimulus. He is a great coach!

Welcoming. Gave a few good, small corrections without overwhelming me with too many new cues. Thanks!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 Experience! Today was my first day at the gym, and Coach Lisa made it amazing. She was welcoming, friendly, and super helpful — taking the time to correct my form and encourage me throughout the workout. I left feeling confident and motivated to come back. Highly recommend Coach Lisa and the whole CrossFit team!

One of my favorite coaches for technique. She really works to help showcase the movement during warmup!

Maria was extremely helpful in my understanding about proper form and technique! Great coach for a CrossFit newbie!

Great class . The coaches were very attentive and motivational. Look forward to the next one

Pretty cool 😎

Rachel was great! She was attentive to everyone, and offered appropriate substitute exercises for people like me with bad knees who can’t jump. No notes!

Sam did amazing, very personable, professional, and knowledgeable!

Awesome! I love Sam. Always very fun and energetic. I enjoy all of her classes

Great class with coach Rebecca - very helpful with attention to detail!

Sam is an absolutely phenomenal coach! Her energy lights up the gym, making every workout both challenging and fun. She has an incredible knack for breaking down complex movements, ensuring everyone’s form is on point, which has helped me build strength safely and confidently. Sam’s personalized encouragement and genuine care for each athlete create such a welcoming, motivating environment. Thanks to her coaching, I’ve achieved personal records I never thought I’d hit and feel stronger than ever. She fosters an amazing sense of community, and I always leave her classes feeling accomplished and inspired.

Al really knows his stuff and has a gift for breaking down even the trickiest movements so they actually make sense. He’s always ready to jump in and help, no matter what level you’re at. What really sets him apart is the energy he brings. He genuinely gets excited about helping people improve, and that enthusiasm is contagious. You leave his classes feeling like you learned something and had fun doing it.

I had a fantastic experience training with Coach Sam. From the moment I walked in, she greeted me with a warm smile and made me feel completely welcome. She took the time to explain the workout clearly, ensured everyone felt included, and kept the energy high throughout the class. The session was challenging yet enjoyable, and her encouragement really pushed me to give my best. I left feeling stronger, motivated, and looking forward to coming back.

Sam did great! Made the class feel inviting and provided great leadership.

I didn’t have an option to select Vince in the select a coach field above, but he was great! He helped me decide the best modifications for me and encouraged me to keep going through a long cardio workout even though I am definitely NOT a cardio person. I’m excited to get back into CrossFit!

Sydney was so very good! Dropped in for a workout while in DC for work. Great people, great coach, great vibe! I’ll be back!

Sam is awesome! She is upbeat and encouraging 100% of the time. She is really great at covering the entire class so everyone feels seen and coached. Great warmup today, as always.

The coach let me know if I was doing a movement incorrectly and showed me the correct way. Great workout and good instruction!

He was nice and welcoming, and took always a look on how I was doing my movements and technique. He even encouraged me to go further on my weight for the wod.

Great coach, very helpful and intentional with her coaching.

Great coach who gave great advice. Very helpful for a new member.

She was very intense but motivating

Coach Garett! Was a sweaty one but loved it!

I had a great experience at Invictis with Al. He did an excellent job leading the class and providing great coaching tips.

Sydney, David, Maria, and all the other coaches are great! They’re informative and helpful with cues and customizing workouts when necessary. The community is great and I appreciate that all the coaches care.

I’ve really enjoyed some amazing training sessions, and Nicholas is a great coach—always attentive and helping me improve my technique. It’s a pleasure training under his guidance.

Al did amazing and got my first double under attempt too in his class as he pushed me to try one more time and I got it! He is the type of coach that doesn’t let you give up!

10/10 wouldn’t ask for a better experience, very professional and informative

Amazing prep and explanation. Great on training cues

Both katey and Garrett killed it today. Kudos to them. Doing the 5 day trial and they made me feel motivated and wanting to work harder. Look forward to the next class!

Solid class and location! The group and coach were friendly and welcoming, which made it easy to settle in. Coach gave great constructive feedback and guidance in areas where I needed improvement—additionally the motivation to keep pushing through the workout. Definitely appreciated the push to keep going during the workout. I’ll be back!

Great Fitness and Performance class! Travelling through DC from Australia. Nick was excellent in instruction & correction of technique. Loved the vibe of the class and intensity. Felt welcomed. My only feedback is could squeeze in a finisher or daily pump at the end of each class, e.g. Tabata 8 sets of 20 second plank or sit ups/candlestick/v-ups.

Always a 10/10!

I’m brand new to CrossFit, and Nick made my first experience an awesome one! He was able to answer all my questions and made me feel completely welcome. The first workout was great, and I’m already looking forward to the next class. Big thanks to Nick for the warm and supportive introduction!

Nicholas did an amazing job coaching today. Not only did he give clear and conscise instructions, he also provided amazing scaled options for each movement. I'd definitely take his class again!

I was a drop-in from Seattle and immediately Nick gave me a warm welcome and introduced me to the group. There’s always a bit of awkwardness, especially when the coach says to buddy up and find a partner but Nick quickly found a pair of students for me to join up with and that went a long way in putting me at ease so that i could focus on the WOD. And all throughout the workout he kept encouraging individual team members to keep going including myself. This was a terrific workout. I’ll be back.

Coach David

Great experience exactly what I was looking for Attentive and great coaching

Took the 730AM class, haven’t done CrossFit in a long long time and was eased back into it. Felt like I learned more in 30 mins than the past 3 years. Great coaching by the whole team. David helped become more efficient on the bike and snatch. Maria’s coaching was challenging, encouraging, and informative. 10/10 recommend for newbies and experts.

Nick is a fantastic trainer! He's really helped me a lot (I've only been training for two weeks). He's very patient and explains each exercise in great detail, always motivating me and trying to get me to do my best. A professional like him definitely makes a difference.

Super flexible, nice, and thoughtful!

Lisa is an amazing coach—she’s incredibly supportive and clearly explains the details of each WOD.

Thor is a very experienced

That’s really good experience for first time cross fit

I dropped in to Invictus during a work trip that took me to DC for a few days. I had a great and sweaty class! The coaching was top notch and everyone was very welcoming. And added bonus: bathrooms are the best I’ve ever seen in any gym. I highly recommend dropping by when in town.

Good explanation and attention to form!

Awesome! Super helpful and beginner friendly without making it uncomfortable

Awesome class good instruction

Excellent class, well coached and great atmosphere. 5 stars will go back again.

Smoothly run class, had fun dropping in. Since it was early and only a few attendees got a lot of focused instruction on setup for squat clean to make the tension more hamstring than strain on quads. Appreciated greatly

Great coach and pays attention to every athlete technique

Maria was awesome! Very welcoming and able to make modifications for movements I wasn’t familiar with.

Al was so encouraging and really helped me get the most out of the workout by giving me technical tips so that I was doing the movements correctly!

Great class! Looking forward to my next one.

Maria is extremely informative, supportive and easy to work with. she manages to provide her expertise while also accommodating to all needs. really enjoy working with her!

I’ve visited a lot of CF gyms and Nick is probably the best coach I’ve ever had. From his efficient use of class time and space, clear instruction, commitment to demonstrating and insisting on good movement and mechanics, deep understanding of the method and rationale behind the program, all while giving attention to each person — including remembering names and fitness goals.

David has great energy. Perfect for an early morning class. In one class he immediately helped my Bar Muscle Up.

The first class was fun, Nick did a great job accommodating the intensity of today’s scheduled exercise.

Coach David Drew at Invictus has profoundly transformed my fitness journey. From the very first session, he cultivated an environment that perfectly blends warmth and challenge—a rare combination that keeps you eager for more. Coach David has an extraordinary ability to recognize form and technique, dedicating time to each individual regardless of their experience level. Whether you’re pursuing performance goals or looking to enhance your movement, he meets you where you are and inspires you to grow, ensuring you always feel included. He brings energy to every class, remains actively engaged, and ensures that you walk away with new insights every time. The community he has built at Invictus is equally remarkable—supportive, humble, and deeply driven to achieve together.

Dropped in while visiting and had such a great experience! Excellent programming, really helpful coaches, and very welcoming environment.

Great motivation

Awesome coaching this morning. Excited to be back.

Awesome! Great energy as always

I’ve taken a number of classes so far- David (1), Katie (2) and Sam (2) have each coached. Every coach has been thoughtful in their approach, communicated clearly, and completely approachable. They have set an excellent climate, provided positive support and constructive feedback. I’m really enjoying the gym space, the programming and member-vibe in general. Thank you!

He helped me get comfortable with the workouts and everything I needed to know about the gym. Great coach!

I’ve had the privilege of training with David for almost a year now and I can confidently say he is a phenomenal coach who truly invests in his athletes. His passion for coaching and success for his athletes is so evident in each class he is coaching (or in open gym!!). He pushes each individual to reach their full potential (even when they don’t want to) through his knowledge, encouragement, and personalized approach for everyone. He had worked with me through crazy night shift schedules, injuries, and so much more. Coming to Invictus and training underneath David has felt like a lightbulb turned on with my own personal fitness journey.

Coach David is great! He knows his athletes and ensures that everyone gets the attention they need to maximize their time at the gym

She should be a staple of weekend workouts. The vibe + the music set the tone for the whole class to have a great WOD.

Sydney is great. She’s always super helpful and provides modifications to help a beginner like me! Thank you Sydney!

5 am classes can be tough because it’s so early. The best thing for the 5 am class besides a good warm up, is high energy from the coach and Sydney sure brings it! It’s greatly appreciated!

Very helpful coaching - helped correct my form and gave me some good pointers. Also very positive and energetic. 5/5

David is a great cross fit instructor. He is patient yet pushes you to your limit and a bit above.

Great vibes, super professional!

I appreciated her introducing herself before class. I couldn’t read the “Fitness” workout because of the color of the marker.

Great coaches, friendly atmosphere & programming for all athletes!

Amazing! Friendly and Knowledgeable, helped make corrections to movements and gave encouragement when things got tough!

👍🏻

Maria is an amazing coach! She provides helpful feedback and is so encouraging. I love taking her classes!

Very helpful and lots of fun

Great coaching and vibrant community. Love to drop by and lift some heavy weights

Maria was great at leading the class today. I appreciated the long warm up today.

Lisa is an incredible coach! She’s attentive, motivating, and always focused on proper form. Her energy is contagious, and she knows just how to push you to achieve your best.

Coach nic is great. We talked about squat form and he gave me some very good advice.

Great, good instruction and feedback. Always like Thors classes.

Awesome class, great focus on squat technique while also killing the quads with those box jump burpees. Will be walking with jello legs for the next couple of days
