Update from the Hill East listserv:
“FYI – I called today to see if I could get more information. Their automated voice message confirms a Thursday 3/17 opening at 5 AM.”
Ed. Note: I called to – they’ll close at 11pm. Anyone know who the new peeps are?

“The Results Gym on Capitol Hill closed at midnight today. Worst day ever.”
Another reader emails:
“The end of an era. I am so saddened that Results is closing, any leads on new management?”
From Results:
During the past six months, Results Gym has faced growing economic challenges to its continued operations including extreme pressures arising out of the uneconomic lease for its space on G Street. While management has worked diligently to address those challenges, it was unable to obtain terms from its landlord that would permit it to continue operating and the landlord has proceeded with eviction.
In light of this, we regret to inform you that Results Gym will discontinue operations effective March 15, 2016 at 11:59 p.m. At present, we do not know how Results Gym’s remaining assets will be allocated between its secured and unsecured creditors. As that process plays out, we hope to provide you with additional information.
Capitol Hill Corner reports:
“A post-midnight trip to Results revealed that a sign had been posted by “a neighbor” that the gym would re-open on Thursday under new management. That claim has not yet been confirmed.”
Stay tuned…

From a press release:
“The next big thing in fitness is all in one box. Urban Adventures Companies, Inc. (UAC), the parent company of VIDA Fitness, unveiled plans today for SweatBox – a pioneering studio fitness concept that improves cardiovascular endurance while building lean muscle mass and improving flexibility. The SweatBox training method is based on the scientific principles of Heart Rate Training, resulting in a unique workout experience that combines aerobic and anaerobic intervals to achieve optimal performance levels within one 50-minute, high-intensity training period. Located at 1612 U Street, NW off the lobby of UAC’s flagship Fitness and Lifestyle Complex, the 1,725-square-foot studio space will feature a limited class size so each participant receives the personalized instruction needed for a technically superior workout, while maximizing gains and minimizing risk of injury.
UAC designed SweatBox to provide each participant with their own “box” – a raised platform furnished with dumbbells, TRX straps, and the revolutionary Matrix IC7 Coach by Color indoor cycle – ensuring individuals have access to everything they need all in one place. With a grand opening slated for April, Sweat Box is a one-of-a-kind, nonmember fitness-training program with a pay-per-session fee. (more…)

Back in January the New York Times reported:
“The first lady arrives without fuss or fanfare, although her armored sport utility vehicle and Secret Service detail set her apart from the usual Lululemon-clad throng.
Michelle Obama is here to work out. She has come to put on professional cycling shoes, clip in to a stationary bicycle and engage in the steamy, heart-pounding, candlelit fitness obsession known as SoulCycle.”

We confirmed the scuttlebutt in October but it’s still hard to believe today is the last day for Dupont’s YMCA.
“The facility will close as a YMCA as of December 31, 2015.
The Y plans to utilize the proceeds from the sale of the YMCA National Capital facility to serve more region-wide residents and provide more volunteer and employment opportunities, thus increasing its impact in the region. In addition, proceeds from the sale will allow the Y to contribute to the revitalization of existing region-wide community/ neighborhood-based Ys, reinvest in programs and services that serve families (such as Youth Advocacy, Achievement Gap, Early Child Development and STEM), alleviate existing debt, and contribute to determining the feasibility of establishing another YMCA facility in Washington, DC.”
