MINT, Washington

A hint of Mint is in the air at this spacious, limited membership gym and health club in downtown Washington DC. The light-filled facility offers up the whole nine yards of gym options, from free weights to Life Fitness cardio equipment to Cybex machines. Classes range from Pilates to yoga to spinning, but what sets Mint apart is its emphasis on overall wellness. The upscale workout spot offers nutrition counseling, and there’s an on-site spa featuring massage treatments. The spa is open to non-members, but if you want to be a short-term member, day and multi-day passes that don’t cost a mint are available.
