Get Faster, Stronger, and Fitter with Arlington’s #1 Outdoor Workout
Arlington Sports Conditioning (ASC) has helped thousands of men and women burn fat, build lean muscle, and get faster, stronger, and fitter. ASC has been the #1 outdoor workout in Arlington, VA for over 10 years.
ASC proudly welcomes people of all ages, fitness levels, and backgrounds. However, ASC typically appeals to people with certain preferences.
ASC is probably not for you if:
- You prefer working out indoors.
- You prefer working out by yourself.
- You prefer treadmills, rowing machines, and stationary bikes over functional, athletic movements.
- You prefer coaches who have a rah-rah cheerleader personality.
ASC is right for you if:
You like spending time outside. While we offer some indoor workouts in the winter, most of our workouts are outdoors. We train at the best outdoor training locations in Arlington. We also do ASC Field Trips to train at scenic outdoor locations beyond Arlington.
You like feeling like you are part of a team. All ASC workouts include partner and group drills. You leave each ASC workout feeling like you are part of a team. ASC also organizes social events throughout the year to help members connect with each other outside of workouts.
You want to train like an athlete. Unlike most group exercise programs, we never use treadmills, rowing machines, or stationary bikes. Machines might burn calories, but they don’t improve your core strength or athleticism. We focus on dynamic, athletic movements and functional equipment, such as dumbbells, kettlebells, and battleropes.
You want to be coached by an athletic, credible expert. You won’t find any junior coaches or rah-rah cheerleaders leading ASC workouts. Our Founder has 15+ years of experience coaching thousands of people. He has also written two books and 300+ articles.
You enjoy supporting small, local businesses and your local community. ASC is one of the only fitness businesses to be started and led by an Arlington resident. In addition, ASC shares its revenue with Arlington County Parks and Rec. By joining ASC, you also support Arlington’s parks, trails, and nature areas, and you keep Arlington clean, green, and healthy.
How ASC Got Started
ASC started in 2012. At the time, ASC Founder Pete Leibman was teaching a weekly Sports Conditioning class for Gold’s Gym in Ballston. The class had become extremely popular, often getting over 100 people per class (photo below).
One day, Pete asked the group if they would be interested in doing a workout outdoors. Everyone was interested. Three days later, Pete hosted ASC’s first outdoor workout.
Since then, Pete has led hundreds of outdoor workouts for thousands of people in and around Arlington.
While most of our members have been with us for years, we are just getting started…
Workout Formats
Every ASC workout is different. However, there are two formats for ASC workouts:
ASC Fast improves your speed, endurance, and athleticism. These workouts include sprints, body weight exercises, and partner/group drills. We usually run bleachers, too. These workouts are outdoors all year long at the stadium (turf, track, and bleachers) at Washington-Liberty High School in Arlington, VA.
ASC Strong improves your full-body strength and athleticism. We bring a full gym (dumbbells, kettlebells, battle ropes, etc.) to these workouts. These workouts are outdoors at Lubber Run Community Center from April to October and indoors from November to March.
Workouts are designed and led by ASC Founder Pete Leibman (featured below next to the ASC van aka “the Buff Bus”).
