How has your experience been with MINT?
Mostly very good. I appreciate the skill and enthusiasm of the trainers and teachers I work with (Kate Phillips-Rivard, Kate Miller, James Parker-Ashley, Julie Langsdorf, Myke Nicholson), the friendly atmosphere in the gym, and the generally customer-friendly management approach.

Fitness goals and how you have started working your way towards them? My goals at this age (almost 70) are to try to maintain as much strength, flexibility and cardio capacity as possible. Consistent, varied workouts are the only way to do this.

Classes you like?
TRX Senior+, yoga on Wednesday and Friday at noon and sunrise on Sunday. I really miss the yoga 2-3 class and hope it will be reinstated soon! I like spin classes too, but they are often not at good times for me.

Farewell MINT Downtown: A message from MINT founders, owners, and operators Patrick and Melissa John

by

Today, August 28, is the last day of business for MINT Downtown. Change is always a challenge, and in all honestly, this is a bittersweet moment for us. However as the saying goes… new beginnings are often disguised as painful endings.

When we created MINT Dupont in 2005 we knew we had something special. MINT’s concept was created from of our experience owning and managing a small local gym just outside The Beltway for 10 years and having lived in DC for many years it was our dream to open a facility in a neighborhood where we live and love. During the early years we worked tirelessly to make our dream a reality; eating every meal at our desks and monitoring every detail. As you can imagine, it was both fun and exhausting but we wouldn’t have changed it for anything. We enjoyed becoming a more integral part of our community, tailoring the business to the community’s need.

As the community grew to love MINT there came time where we wanted to spread the love. We found the location that was to become MINT Downtown and couldn’t resist opening a second MINT. And although saying goodbye to our second location is sad, we are beyond thankful to have had the incredible team we did and for all of the lessons opening a second location has taught us. A huge thank you to Skip, Bresni, Lorenzo, Wilder, Jen, and many others for all of your hard work and dedication to MINT over the years. We couldn’t have done it without you. Though many of our Downtown staff will be staying with us and transitioning to Dupont and Manhattan Laundry we are sad to say goodbye to our longtime Downtown general manager Skip Dority, who started with us in 2007. We will miss him tremendously.

We’ve loved meeting so many truly inspiring people over the past 8 years at MINT Downtown. Thank you to our members for your business, encouragement, and commitment. We are very excited that so many of you have decided to continue with us! We’re equally excited that all trainers and the majority of instructors are coming to MINT Dupont and MINT Manhattan Laundry.

MINT was founded on a principle of positivity and inclusion. With the closing of Downtown we are going back to our roots to focus on quality over quantity. MINT Dupont and our close-by new concept MINT Manhattan Laundry will receive 100% of our attention and we will continue to be the best fitness club in DC.

We are proud to support healthy lifestyles in our hometown of Washington D.C. and we look forward to seeing you sweating and smiling next to us at a MINT soon.

Meet Justin Yampolsky, our MINT member of the Month

How has your experience been with MINT?
I talk A LOT about how much I love MINT. It’s a great gym, with great staff, and I feel happy when I’m here. I’ve had a lot of firsts at MINT like my first workout class and my first 10k run. I like sharing MINT with friends, meeting new people in my classes, and also just being here alone with my thoughts. Compared to other places I’ve lived, DC can sometimes feel very cerebral like we’re all brains walking around detached from our bodies. I like MINT because, like a nice hike or a swim, being here engages all my senses and makes me feel at home in my body.

Fitness goals and how you have started working your way towards them?
I don’t have any specific fitness goals that immediately come to mind. I guess like everyone I want to feel good and look good. When I was a kid, I wanted to play in the NBA, but adulthood is different because I unfortunately have less time for delusions. It’s nice though to still feel connected to my NBA dreams by pretending I’m training for the championship or something. I guess my abstract fitness goal is to remain connected to that youthful feeling of coming home from school with a ton of energy and spending all afternoon running and jumping around the neighborhood with friends. The group fitness classes remind me of that feeling, and I work towards my goal by attending as many classes as I can.

Classes you like?
Plyofit, TRX Bootcamp, Power Playground, and FLEX-Upper Body.
