Why MINT - MINT DC

We Want to Reset Your Expectations

For years our unofficial motto has been ‘the UN-gym GYM’, words directly from our members. We welcome you in, and we think you’ll also immediately get how MINT is different from both other local gyms and the national chains.

MINT Celebrates 20 Years: From Community-First Gym to DC’s Premier Wellness Destination

For 20 years, MINT has been more than a gym – it’s been a community where members have shown up through life’s biggest moments, built lasting friendships, and trusted us with their health and goals. What started with a simple belief that gyms should feel welcoming and personal has grown into something far greater than we imagined. As we celebrate this milestone, we’re stepping boldly into our next chapter: becoming DC’s premier wellness gym with expanded offerings including small group training, in-house physical therapy, massage therapy, red light therapy, cryotherapy, and our new FORMA retail shop. We’re incredibly grateful to every member, instructor, trainer, and team member who has made MINT what it is today, and we’re even more excited about the future we’re building together.

Why are we different? There are a few reasons.

The Atmosphere:

Our members enjoy our friendly and fun culture. Our staff are professional and care about helping you achieve your goals. Whether you’re getting signed in, chatting after a class, or looking for someone to spot while you lift, we’re eager to engage with you! Our members also enjoy our other members. Strangers become friends and work out buddies. We like to foster inclusion, not exclusion.

Our Facilities:

While we know people enjoy our staff and getting to know other members, many people join because they appreciate how clean our facilities are and (during the day) how the main rooms are bathed in sunlight. No dark, stinky, rubber rooms here! Our equipment is well-maintained and our space is open and airy. We believe that our amenities make going to the gym more enjoyable. Who doesn’t like fresh towels and complimentary coffee!?

Membership Flexibility:

DC is a very busy city with people always coming and going. We understand the culture here and offer flexible membership options. We want you to want to come here, not feel like you’re signing away your freedom by being locked into a never-can-cancel-or-get-a-refund-cuz’-you-didn’t-read-the-fine-print contract.

Our Staff:

We talk about more classes with less drama. Our instructors are committed professionals who offer studio-caliber classes. Our trainers are top-notch. They’d never brag, but they’re truly talented and dedicated to their disciplines. Their level of passion helps motivate and inspire others to reach their potential.

Whether you’re ready to refresh your gym routine or get more classes with less drama, MINT can reset your expectations. Come try MINT for FREE. The only way to know if MINT is right for you is to come see for yourself. We look forward to meeting you!
