About Alcove Fitness
A New Kind of Gym in Washington, DC
Alcove Fitness was created around a simple idea: the gym should feel personal, predictable, and stress-free.
Why We Built Alcove Fitness
For many people, traditional gyms are overwhelming—crowded rooms, unavailable equipment, and the constant pressure of working out in front of others. We wanted to build a better way to train: one that gives people space, time, and control over their own workout environment.
Fitness is hard enough without the friction. Waiting for machines. Adjusting around other people’s routines. Navigating busy floors and unpredictable peak hours. We believe your workout should be the most dependable part of your day—not the most stressful.
Alcove Fitness was designed to solve these problems through privacy, structure, and thoughtful design. Every detail of the Alcove model exists to make exercise feel easier, calmer, and more intentional.
The Alcove Model
Alcoves are private, bookable workout suites equipped with premium strength and cardio gear. Each reservation gives you guaranteed access to the equipment you need, uninterrupted and on your own schedule.
Before and after your session, you’re welcome to warm up or finish accessories in The Bay—our open, flexible training area.
Your time is your own. Your space is your own. Your workout is your own.
Our Mission
Our mission is to redefine what a neighborhood gym can be by making fitness more personal, more accessible, and more enjoyable.
We aim to create environments where people feel comfortable training at any level—beginners who want privacy, lifters who need equipment certainty, professionals on tight schedules, and personal trainers who want a focused space for their clients.

Alcove Fitness is built for anyone who values privacy, structure, and quality:
Lifters who want guaranteed equipment access
Beginners who prefer to learn and grow without crowds
Busy professionals who want efficient, predictable workouts
Personal trainers seeking an elevated space for sessions
Anyone who wants fitness without the chaos of a typical gym
