MINT DC - Club and Spa Retreat Review

I ve taken 5 classes at the MINT DuPont and all have been great. The instructors are super friendly and give different options... I also
Dig the lemon and mint infused water!

I really enjoy going to MINT, it has a friendly non-intimidating atmosphere and great, clean facilities. I only go for classes and I really like the number of classes they have available later in the evening so I can come after work even if I finish after 6pm. They also have a good variety of classes, and I took advantage of the 5 day trial to try out a few different classes. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a workout schedule that can be flexible with their schedule.

Love this gym and its community feel. They have a great spot up near adams morgan (Dupont location) and a downtown location. They've got clean and up to date equipment. They also have an awesome community feel, with community partners, great customers (who also enjoy the community feel), and uplifting trainers/instructors that motivate and push you farther. Overall fantastic gym.

I've been working out at MINT for many years and it is by far one of the best gym experiences this city has to offer. From day one, I was welcomed into the spacious and comfortable environment. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and always helpful. The instructors and trainers are top notch and there are plenty of great class options.

Great gym and great staff. I typically only go during off hours. Shout out to Stacey for offering above and beyond customer service.

Great community gym. Tons of open space with a wide range of workout equipment. Studio classes as well.

Great facilities, very clean change rooms, they provide towels and a lot of other free amenities. Staff are incredible, cannot recommend highly enough.

MINT Dupont is the best! There are tons and tons of classes, and all the instructors are fantastic. The concierge staff and management are all very nice and helpful, too. The facilities are great; locker rooms include lotion, mouth wash, razors- anything you need! There's also free coffee and mint and lemon water. It's in a great location, near many bars and restaurants- many of which are community partners, which means MINT Members get special benefits. It's also right across the street from a soccer field, which means a lot of the boot camp classes are outside, which is really nice. I would, and do, recommend MINT to anyone.

MINT has been adapting their virtual and in-person offerings to maximize client experience and safety, from the start of the pandemic. I used to go occasionally to in-person classes at the Dupont location and started going to the Power Playground classes once my virtual fitness routine got stale and the virtual platform, class format (no equipment necessary!), and instructors were so great that I ended up buying a class pack. It's been great to feel challenged again in a workout!

I've been going to MINT for about 9 months now, but I recently tried the Barre class offered on Saturday morning. The instructor was very welcoming and helpful when I told her I was new to Barre. The class was rigorous but not overwhelming for a beginner. It was a great strength builder and I plan to start taking this class regularly. I love that I am always welcomed to try a new class at MINT!

The best gym ever! What I love most are the classes and super friendly staff/instructors. Mint is a community, so expect a pleasant experience.

They hire top notch talent who deliver unique and highly effective instructions. Since the downtown gym closed, the central one in Adams Morgan has become congested, and I hope there can be a solution to that soon. My
solution is to go at other times or use the 14th street location more frequently. I absolutely love the TRX Pilates class. Liz, the instructor, is super cool, knowledgeable and challenging. It s a terrific workout, especially for recovery days or general core/hip improvements. I ve noticed it s positive impact in a short period of time.

I joined Mint when they reopened after the pandemic and the gym has been fantastic. There is plenty of space and equipment that you aren't on top of other members when you're working out. Even before the pandemic Mint took cleanliness and sanitation very seriously and have ramped up their procedures even more so now. The best thing about the gym is the windows that wrap around the whole building so that its drenched in sunlight. Very different feeling when compared to the dungeon weight room of Sport and Health NW in Tenleytown.

Every class I ve taken has been fun and challenging in its own way. The instructors are great, the facility is new and clean, and the mint towels are amazing!

I adore this gym. The vibe here is different from other gyms I have been to- for me, this place feels like a community. It is a supportive and friendly space. The Spin and PowerPlayground classes are my favorite. The instructors and trainers are top-notch -- inspiring and motivating. I cannot recommend MINT enough. Give it a try- they run a 5-day Free Pass so you can experience the facility and all of the classes yourself. That's how I got hooked :)

MINT is exactly what I was looking for in a gym. MINT has it all. There is plenty of opportunity for high-energy intense workouts, but there are also peaceful spaces for when I'm more in the mood to slow down my busy work day with a relaxing session of yoga or meditation. When you're having a hectic day at work, there's nothing more comforting than having an oasis to turn to, and MINT is my oasis!
I love the free coffee and tea, the scented chilled towels, the mint-infused water, even the refreshing mint scented shampoo and soap in the shower really makes going to MINT a special experience.

I ve been a member here for about a half year, and I absolutely love it. It s beginning to feel like my third place, where I know the faces and they know me. The amenities and instructors are great, the place is sparkling clean, and there is always a class that interests me at a time that works for me. The membership fee is arguably high, but can be a bit less scary if you front-load your dues with a discounted gift card.

I am not a gym person but I want to stay healthy as I age and still be able to enjoy outdoor activites. I joined MINT because I wanted a variety of group classes at a fair price.

I love being a member of MINT! Everything is great. My one and only critic in the year and a half that I have been there is the air conditioner could be blasting a little more in the summer :)

This gym is always pleasant to attend. The gym offers a lot of natural light, staff is friendly, and the it's clean! The power playground class is my favorite. I highly recommend this space.

Nothing but a positive experience at MINT! The facilities are always top notch, and the instructors are great!

A small space for shared exercise, group or not. This place is a lovely spot for a quick workout or class. The amenities are fabulous and so are the people!

Clean, friendly, and safe! What more could you want out of a gym during a pandemic? I was cautious at first when considering everything going on, but the dedication of the staff at MINT to provide a safe environment is apparent at every turn. This has been a huge help during these crazy times!

Clean and has all the equipment you need! A great room with TRX, sliders etc to use during non class times as well.

The staff and management at MINT are amazing. They're very approachable/friendly, and willing to work with me to provide a holistic approach to health and wellness. I feel lucky to live so close to this studio! I also love that the owners are local.

Mint is fantastic! The variety of classes is great as I lack self structure when I try to workout alone. The instructors are very motivating and work with all skill levels. They all have a good knowledge base to modify workouts for people with injuries which I appreciate. They also have a child care, full amenity locker rooms, and a coffee machine. It is rather expensive for memberships so I would suggest using ClassPass to try it out before fully committing. Their memberships do also include the 14th St location!

I really enjoy the environment at the DuPont location. The staff is super friendly and the lay-out is open, which is amplified by all the natural light. It's nice because you have space to do partner exercises without crowding anyone on machines.

The class schedule is ideal, both in terms of variety and time. They've recently started adding more of the bootcamp style classes which has been a great addition!

Also, they have a dry sauna. Heck yes!

Just finished my first class at MINT and I am signing up for more! I felt welcomed and included as soon as I arrived, and the facility is great. Clean and inviting. And I was sufficiently challenged in the class to know it's the right place for me.

Such a great place! Really nice to go to a local, family-owned gym that is really set on delivering great health and wellness to the local community! What I especially love are the outdoor classes that are being offered in the time of Covid. They are safe, in small groups, and outdoors! And I really need the exercise after having been inside for so many months! Thank you, especially to Lauren for offering a fantastic outdoor workout!

Have been utterly disappointed in the responsiveness of management here. They are very keen to take your money, but if you are due a refund no one -least of the all the manager- responds despite multiple emails/calls. I have been a Mint member on and off for several years and previously have had really good experiences (thank you Gabe!) including personal training (Steve, Kiana). It's a pity that the management sucks because indeed this is a great local gym.

Absolutely love this gym. Welcoming staff, clean equipment and locker rooms, excellent variety of classes, and bright and well-lit atmosphere. What I enjoy the most is the culture there- welcoming environment, there are no "starers" or "macho-steroid drinking lifters" there. All members seem to be very down to earth that just like to exercise. I do not feel intimidated in this gym, even when trying new classes. If am new to a class, I have always been welcomed by the instructors and other members. This gym actually motivates me to workout, and I genuinely enjoy being there.

I really enjoy this studio, specifically the classes with Myke. They always great you, good locker rooms, and love the lemon or mint water. One of the better studios in DC!

Excellent classes at Mint
James and Roger are wonderful teachers and I recommend them and the gym.

Best gym in the area by far. Amazing staff and clean equipment. 1 squat rack, 1 power rack, and 1 barbell bench is enough for the mornings

MINT offers a wide variety of classes, so you can stick to the same workout with your favorite instructor or try something new from time to time. I really like the amenities: showers, towels and vanity kit allows you to hit your workout and afterwards go back to your day fresh. And they offer complimentary coffee!

This is the best gym in DC. There is a wide variety of class times and types, the workout equipment is new, and it rarely feels overly crowded. What's more, the locker rooms are so clean and have everything you could possibly need. There is even free coffee! It's easy to go straight from this gym to the office.

Been taking virtual classes from New York. Amazing workouts, very friendly and welcoming teachers, and good class times. 100% recommended.

Great gym, bright, airy, variety of classes (and instructors), and it's never too crowded. Pretty much everything you would need. The only thing I can't comment on is the spa. No clue

Good gym. Little expensive for what it provides but does the job

Welcoming atmosphere, great locker rooms for getting ready for work in the mornings. Power Playground with Lauren was excellent!

Clean and well run, I appreciate the cold scented damp wash cloths

Amazing gym with extremely friendly staff. I started with the five day free trial and love being a member. Wide selections of cardio, strength and classes offered. The barre classes are a must try and are fun and challenging. I love the variety available and that the gym is never too crowded. They think of everything from infused water, towel service and toiletries to heart rate monitors. The sauna is amazing and the showers are clean and have great water pressure so it feels more like a spa than a gym.

The classes alone are worth the membership! Incredible instructors, especially the bootcamp and barre teachers. Everyone is SO friendly. I couldn't run due to a stress fracture for 2 months, but was able to maintain my fitness level by attending the Mint classes and working with the instructors to come up with alternative exercises.

Also, the scented cold washcloths provided are a great way to end your workout, especially on hot humid summer days!

The gym facilities are beautiful and really expansive. They have dedicated spaces for yoga/dance, cycling, barre, and cross-training. My yoga class was not as physically challenging as I was hoping, but the instructor gave helpful adjustments throughout. Overall, I would recommend trying MINT out!

I love Mint for my general gym needs. The space is bright and airy. Very chill crowd and staff without the pretentiousness associated with a much better known local chain in town. The main issue I've had with them is some poor customer service with my past billing, but it just took a few calls to clear up.

Agni classes are fun and challenging. Her instruction is very precise through. She it attentive with cueing students how to make modifications. She is also excellent at cueing breathing. She is an excellent pilates teacher.

Nice facility with common sense precautions for COVID-19. Always able to get the machines you want. Would recommend to anyone over the guy big guy down the street.

Myke s flex strength class is the best!!! Always know I m going to be sore after a Tuesday!

Had a great first experience through Class Pass! Tried out the beginner yoga class and really enjoyed the atmosphere, instructor, and practice. Excited to try more.

It's hard to come by a gym in DC that has great equipment for personal workouts as well as a huge variety of classes at this price. It's never too crowded and the equipment always works well and is clean. I'm a huge fan of the classes (ride, barre, and their original Power Playground specifically), and the instructors are all super helpful. All in all, definitely worth trying out, especially since you can get a free five day trial!

Best health club in DC! Excellent instructors, wide variety of classes, and kind atmosphere. With three locations, it offers so many opportunities to find the workout or class you enjoy, from classes to free weights, to cardio equipment. It also greatly invests in local community partnerships so that members can get discounts/perks from other local businesses. What I think sets it apart from other gyms is its kind, neighborhood feel, and extreme cleanliness. I have never felt "judged" or "looked down upon" for trying out a new class, or a new weight lifting machine. The founders created MINT as a family business, and that family atmosphere has trickled down to its members and staff team over the years, and remains the main reason why I continue to go to MINT. Absolutely love this health club, and I encourage everyone to give it a try if you are looking for community, encouragement, and motivation to reach your health goals!

Not a discount gym but mint is a steal if you take classes. Also the cost means the showers are amazing and the equipment is always in pristine condition. Free gourmet coffee is an added perk and the instructors for classes are top notch, aka legit certifications and tons of experience.

Definitely try the bootcamp style classes. Liz, James, Tara, and Brooke all have excellent energy and they will kick your butt!

Mint is the coolest little gym with a wide array of workout classes. I personally love the dance classes they offer (Doonya & Zumba).

I adore this gym. The vibe here is different from other gyms I have been to- for me, this place feels like a community. It is a supportive and friendly space. The Spin and PowerPlayground classes are my favorite. The instructors and trainers are top-notch -- inspiring and motivating. I cannot recommend MINT enough. Give it a try- they run a 5-day Free Pass so you can experience the facility and all of the classes yourself. That's how I got hooked :)

MINT Dupont is a very classy gym. However, it costs a lot if you want to use cardio, strength, and classes. And they will charge you steep fees if you sign up for a class but end up not being able to make it.

I love attending Mint for a great work out and phenomenal classes. Whether I join a cycling class, Power Playground, Zumba or yoga, I am always getting a great workout with great direction from the instructors. Mint is always so clean and welcoming.

Great space, very clean and well equipped. Staff is very friendly and always willing to help. Lots of different classes with excellent instructors.

Had to downgrade from four to three stars. The gym is nice and has good equipment, but has become absolutely crammed at peak hours since the downtown location closed. Cleanliness is also an issue. No one expects a gym to be extremely clean, but the floor in the locker room is often full of dirt and is unlikely to be mopped in a timely manner.

MINT is so much more than a gym. It's a community. In the three years since I joined, MINT has become a indispensable part of my life in DC. The staff are friendly, the facilities are immaculate, the equipment is well-maintained, and the classes are super fun. The best way to experience the studio is through the classes! Even if you have no experience with spinning, calisthenics, barre, etc., you ll thank yourself later. After a workout, you can cool down with one of their refrigerated scented towels, or hop in the sauna. For those concerned about price, the cost of membership is lower when you factor in the savings at the abundance of DC community partners. MINT members enjoy discounts on everything from happy hours to dentistry to dog grooming. I would recommend MINT to anyone!

I tried Barre, Pilates, Zumba, and TRX at MINT - all of which were great! Caring instructors who correct your form and encourage you to push yourself. Music selection was good. I really like the lemon water and sauna as well.

One of the best gyms in DC with 2 locations you can take advantage of.

Mint has a great choice of classes to choose from: spin, their signature power playground (type of bootcamp), trx, yoga, pilates and more.
top notch trainers
excellent choice of equipment, that although gets quite busy during peak hours, I've never had to wait to use anything!

Other amenities include:
Lockers with built in locks
nice showers and changing room, including towels
coffee
and discounts from amazing community partners

Mint has made me enjoy working out. I love the amenities and the instructors.

The MINT experience is awesome, and it truly is an experience! I've been going there for about 6 months now and am totally hooked. Their facilities are really clean and well-maintained, their instructors and other members are super friendly, they have complimentary coffee and locker rooms with everything you need. I really go for the classes, of which there are plenty that range in levels of intensity. Definitely try it if you haven't already; you get way more bang for your buck here than the other gyms and studios in the area and it's everything you could want in a gym.

MINT is great. Lots of space, a good array of classes, reasonable prices, and a nice steam room and cold towels to boot.

I have been going to this gym for almost 1 year now. They recently renovated it and updated the space which looks great. There are plenty of free weights and cardio machines, as well as lemon water, cold minty towels, sauna, and showers. My favorite part is the group classes. The instructors are amazing- very knowledgeable and encouraging but they will push you. My favorites include Power Playground, TRX boot camp, and outdoor boot camp. These are very intense but they also have plenty of cycling, Pilates, and yoga classes. They are constantly adding new classes and improving. I would highly recommend this gym, especially since the dues are comparable to other area gyms.

This has been my go to during quarantine for zoom workouts - challenging classes, instructors are so helpful and encouraging! Planning to continue these workouts remote from NYC :)

Really enjoy Mint Dupont and especially Master Trainer Mary Dorsch!!!! Mary is super knowledgeable, professional and a delightful person to boot. She is a terrific motivator and patient in helping clients to learn how to move and how to use the equipment properly so they are getting the absolute most out of their workouts. I am in my mid-60's and only now figuring out how to exercise. I've had a few good trainers in the last few years, but Mary is tops in my books. Worth giving Mint a try to meet her and see how she can help you really get into shape. Also, importantly Mint Dupont is a friendly place with all kinds of different folks and trainers. Its not an intimidating "scene" like some gyms. Best of all, there are real windows so you can workout and see daylight. Cool minty cloths to wipe the overheated brow are a bonus too!

MINT is great. Lots of space, a good array of classes, reasonable prices, and a nice steam room and cold towels to boot.

No cameras in men's room like Vida. No mandatory programs rip-off like Vida. No hidden fees like eco fee like Vida. Membership not oversold like Vida. Better classes, personal trainers & staff. 5 stars if they had some more weight machines. PS. Mint offers a generous 5-day free trial pass for 1st time visitors (NSA).

Great facilities, very clean change rooms, they provide towels and a lot of other free amenities. Staff are incredible, cannot recommend highly enough.

Mint offers a variety of classes that meet everyone s needs. I ve done high intensity classes, Zumba, power/strength classes, and have continuously been impressed with the trainers. The gym is clean and has everything one might need!

Nice facilities, good classes and amenities, and long hours.

Love all the yoga classes. Teachers are amazing. Staff are the nicest and most helpful.
Impeccable Management.

Ending membership here is a long, convoluted process.

Great facilities, amazing classes, friendly staff. It's always very clean, well-stocked with cool scented towels and flavored waters, and has convenient hours.

This has been a great gym so far. I signed up a couple of months ago and I splurged for the membership that allows me to sign up for any class which I highly recommend. I wish I had more time in my day to take advantage of them all! But it's great to just sign up, even at the last minute, for an awesome class. Most importantly, the people at Mint are fantastic. Really down to earth, helpful, and friendly. I'm really fortunate that this is my neighborhood gym.

Mint Health Club & Studio's Dupont location is a fantastic gym. It has everything you need from weights and modern cardio equipment to challenging and fun classes. Mint has something for everyone, but is never too crowded. The TRX, Burn, and PowerPlayground classes are especially great. The showers, locker rooms, and sauna are always clean and there's never a shortage of mint or lemon flavored water and fresh towels.

I just started taking classes at MINT on Classpass and ended up buying a package myself. It is great! The variety of classes is awesome and the gym itself has great amenities (large super clean locker room/showers, lemon and mint water, cool minty towels for after your workouts!) I am lucky to have this gym less than a ten minute walk away from my house.

I work out at Mint Dupont almost every Saturday morning. There's a great energy in the gym and there are usually lots of familiar faces -- but the gym is never crowded like some other places. There are lots of classes, including circuit training, core workouts and spin. I also heard that they're building a dedicated Barre studio, coming this August. There's always something fun and exciting to do at Mint!

I have been a member of MINT for almost three months, and it has been such a great decision. It is--by far--the nicest gym I have ever joined. The facilities are extremely clean, and all of the staff members I have ever encountered are extremely helpful and welcoming. No matter what time of the day, it never feels overcrowded. MINT also just completed various renovations to open up floor space without sacrificing many machines. The locker rooms are also extremely clean, and it has a "spa-like" atmosphere. Great place to work out and relax!

Love this gym. Classes are fun (try Zumba!). As others have noted, the amenities are fantastic--sparkling-clean bathrooms, razors/mouthwash & other helpful necessities provided, water with lemon & mint in it (don't worry, they have non-awesome water, too), and, yes, the awesome free coffee machine. Usually busy AM & PM, but not obstructively so.

The staff is ok. They werent overly friendly and the class instructor wasnt too motivating either which can be a downer for a newcomer.

Awesome classes, clean facility, and friendly staff! Love the outdoor options- they re such a treat during this time of COVID. Thanks, MINT!

Good class selection. Studio has everything you need. Engaging teachers.

Mint has been such an awesome discovery! Their classes are upbeat and motivating, facility is high quality and the customer service knocks it out of the park. I m hooked, they are an awesome find that I highly recommend.

I really enjoy the ambiance of this DuPont location. It has a lot of natural sunlight and the air circulation is great. There are a lot of classes offered and all the instructors have a passion for what they do. I highly recommend this gym.
