From the reviews
The gym, the instructors, and the members are very welcoming, and accommodating for all fitness levels. Capital Crossfit members are from a wide range of skills and ages. The instructors are superb at providing coaching to all levels. It's like having your own personal trainer and fan club. Love this gym!

I started training at Capital last September and I'll tell you that I have never been to a school that has a welcoming environment. The different programs and instruction that is available to everyone is amazing. You are not just treated as a member of the gym but as part of a family.
I was nervous in starting a new gym yet alone a cross fit gym. Staff, coaches, instructors and other members are the best. Everyone is willing to help and teach. The best thing to do for the new year is learn something new and lose weight.
New to kickboxing? Start at Capital MMA & Elite Fitness | Alexandria, VA
Capital MMA & Elite Fitness | Alexandria, VA comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Capital MMA & Elite Fitness | Alexandria, VA
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
