Swipe through to see the breakdown:
🫁 Tuesday — Engine: cardio-respiratory work. Running, rowing, skierg, paired with HYROX elements.
💪 Thursday — Endurance: sled pushes, lunges, push-ups. Building the muscular endurance you’ll need late in the race.

HYROX DC is 8 weeks away.
If you haven’t started training, the experts will tell you you’re in trouble. Reality? You’re going to be fine — but you need to start now.
Three tips to get moving today:
🏃 **Run your 1Ks.** HYROX is eight 1K runs broken up by stations. Find the pace you can repeat over and over without redlining — that’s your baseline. Skip the 5Ks and 10Ks for now, they’re not what this race is about.
💪 **Build your strength.** Squats, deadlifts, push-ups, pull-ups. A stronger engine makes everything else easier on race day.
📍 **Train with us.** Classes Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday at Urban Athletic Club. Link in bio for a free week — come show up, then we’ll dial in the specific skills you need.
8 weeks is enough time. Let’s get to work.

When I read through these reviews, a few themes keep showing up.
People talk about the coaching.
People talk about the community.
People talk about feeling welcomed from day one.
As the owner of Urban Athletic Club, that's meaningful because those things don't happen by accident.
Over the last 10 years, we've built this gym with a team of coaches who genuinely care about helping people. Some of us work in fitness full-time. Others coach because they love it and want to help people get stronger, healthier, and more confident.
We don't expect everyone who walks through our doors to be an athlete.
Some members are returning to fitness after years away. Some are training for their first race. Some are chasing personal records. Some just want to feel better and have more energy for life outside the gym.
What connects them is that they're doing it together.
So whether you've been here for years, just joined, or dropped in while visiting DC, thank you for trusting us with your fitness journey.
And thank you to everyone who has taken the time to leave a review. We read every one of them.
❤️ Graham King & the UAC Coaching Team
