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 fitness 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. ASC Founder Pete Leibman has 15+ years of experience coaching thousands of people. He has also written two books and 300+ articles on peak performance.
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.
