Trident Athletics, founded by co-owners Andrea and Chriss Smith Jr., started with only a handful of members and trainers but has grown into a fixture in the local community and one of the largest gyms in Northern Virginia.
A team of more than twenty-five passionate, committed and dynamic trainers and athletes, we love nothing more than changing people's lives through fitness. Although we pride ourselves on our knowledge, experience, and continual efforts to improve through learning, we are most proud of our ability to connect with and motivate our members.
Established in 2010 in Alexandria, Virginia, Trident Athletics (formerly Trident CrossFit) is an 11,500 square foot fitness facility dedicated to training athletes, mentoring coaches, and cultivating relationships.
As trainers, we promise to scale appropriately, encourage, answer all questions, be patient, pay attention, keep you safe, and listen, ensuring you get as much from your workout as possible. You're here to change your life, and we're here to help.

Although we pride ourselves on our knowledge, experience and continual efforts to improve through independent study, certifications, and courses, we are most proud of our ability to connect with and motivate our athletes.
