The big gym news continues. Following word of Rumble likely opening their first D.C. space in April and an Orange Gym coming to 14th Street near Arepa Zone and Balance Gym comes news of another Orange Gym location – and this one in a long vacant space in Cleveland Park!! Last Friday we spoke about all the vacant spaces that we couldn’t believe were still vacant. (more…)

Thanks to Rachel for sending:

“I noticed at 506 K Street NW (Across from the Giant) in Mt. Vernon, there was new gym/training place opened called EPIC. I called and it is their grand opening this week and they’re offering $1 classes until 2/4/2019 when you register on their website (It’s the last option when you pick the class you want to attend)
