Best Zumba Lessons Washington Near Me

Edward Wendel: Great gym and great trainers. I have been using gym since its opening. I am now 81 (yes, I know, old). Have been training for several years with Razonte Dunn. He may be exceptional at training high performing athletes, but he also has a special gift for taking everyone seriously and taking them to the highest level they can achieve. He not only knows the mechanics of training, he communicates a desire to make you succeed that is contagious. This experience has been life-changing.

Asher Allman: Great gym at an affordable rate. Helpful and responsive staff, both in person trainers and with online/email inquiries. All the equipment you would need, and a really cool atmosphere/space. Big fan!

Paxton Helms: Love this place and have been going for years. Lots of room, trainers are great (if you want to use them), changing areas are large and clean, and price is reasonable. I don't do classes but do love that they have a counterweighted dip and pull up machine. They also have parking! Great neighborhood resource.

Rachael Hunt: I want to give 5 stars to Raz, one of the trainers. I’ve been working out with him in his group classes and it’s been a great experience. He is super enthusiastic and always plans engaging and effective workouts. He is a great motivator. If you are ready to push yourself, he’s the trainer for you.

Flynn Chapman: Love Sport and Health. The gym staff are always friendly and the gym equipment is in good shape. I've trained with Raz for a while now and he's been an excellent trainer getting me in great shape.

Sam C: I do not recommend this gym, they have terribly dishonest billing practices. It borders on a scam. I requested cancellation of my account during COVID, and was told on the phone that "as a courtesy" they would instead freeze my account until I was ready to start coming back. 3 months later, they started billing me again. Shame on me, I only noticed this 4-5 months later. When I contacted them, they said "you are not eligible for a refund without proof of a previous written request to extend the freeze on your account." Despite the fact I was never told I would need to request an extension. I was never told I needed an extension, I was told to contact them when I wanted to come back. Reading through other reviews, it appears this is a common problem.

Lindsey Taylor: This review is specific to Razonte and his semi-private Explosive Performance (EP) Class. I have been taking Raz's EP class once a week for about 4 months and can see a real difference in my strength, how I talk to my body and my confidence in using free weights and the weight room. In total, I have lost about 20 pounds, and Raz's class and his wealth of knowledge absolutely was the catalyst. I have been a life-long fitness class attendee, and when Covid hit, I felt far more lost than I expect as I tried to come up with a consistent workout plan. As gyms in the area open back up I knew I needed to learn the basics of a weight room from a professional. Enter Raz. I couldn't afford personal training, but I could afford EP. I met with Raz and we talk about my goals, and after reviewing the body scan metrics, talked about realistic expectations and set a plan. Sure, the body scan said I needed to lose about 40lbs, but Raz said to me, "Realistically, where can you make small changes in your life that you can maintain to start to move towards whatever goal you have first? That is where we start". I still felt the fun, competitive aspect of group fitness, but I learned the correct form and how much weight I could really throw around, and saw a bunch of non-scale victories that I am very proud of. I think Raz's personality has a lot to do with my success. Each person in the class gets told what weight they should grab for each new movement and each person is getting personally coached or cheered on. You don't feel that lapse of attention, no matter how many people are in the class. There are times when he will push you because he knows you can do more, but never in a way where you feel like you are being yelled at or being called out. He listens to you, offers alternative movements before you have to remind him of your injuries, and all the while picking up on how you like to be motivated. From there he leans in to create a safe space for you to work hard (and it is hard) and push yourself to hit your goals.

Andrew Kugle: I've been a member of Capitol Hill Sport & Health for over a year now along with the semi-private Explosive Performance (EP) Class. My trainer Razonte has been phenomenal in getting me back in shape and building more muscle than I've ever had before. At first, I struggled to finish the hour training sessions that I did once a week. But he encouraged me to keep at it and suggested several workouts that I could do on my own on the days I didn't have a EP class. Now, I am able to work throughout an entire session and have increased my classes from one a week to two. If you put in the work and time with Raz, you will notice a difference in your energy level, your strength and overall health. Every few months, we do a check-in to see how much progress we made and I personally have seen my body-fat percentage decrease and my muscle-mass increase over time. While Raz will push you to work hard, he is cognizant of peoples' limits and abilities, prioritizing one's health. He's also a funny and great guy, who gives out constant encouragement and will hold you accountable. In my opinion, the price for the semi-private classes is worth it. You get to workout with a small group of people and you will definitely notice results if you put the time and work in. The gym itself is clean and has all the equipment you will need. The staff is friendly and encouraging to everyone who comes. Highly recommend being a member and taking Raz's sessions. - Andrew K.

Devon Murphy: Love this gym! Best gym in the area by far. My only recommendation would be to add mirrors in front of ALL the squat racks. It is beyond me why half would have mirrors and half do not.

Katerina Athena: I’m a new member of crunch and I already love it! Everyone has been super friendly so far. I’m doing personal training with Sean. He is very attentive and personalizes my workouts. I have previous injuries to my spine and he really checks in and makes sure I’m not doing anything to further my injuries and incorporates workouts that will help strengthen areas that will lessen my chronic pain. I haven’t used the showers yet but it’s super nice that they provide towel service so you don’t have to carry a soggy towel out with you. There’s a parking lot in the back and you can get validated for 100 free minutes. I got a great deal on a few personal training sessions but I will continue to go even after those are finished!

Jim Manning: I have been going to Crunch for over 5 years and couldn't be happier. Crunch acts like a "boutique" gym: the staff is very friendly; the housekeeping staff is meticulous about keeping everything clean; the equipment is well maintained. We are lucky to have Charles Foggie as our personal trainer. He is full of energy and has a great sense of humor and makes me want to do my best. We have noticed that all the trainers there are 100% focused on their clients and act like there is nothing else they would rather be doing. For anyone looking for a friendly, no drama place to work out, it would be hard to beat Crunch.

Brian Jessup: Can’t say enough good things about this gym. Housekeeping is always keeping busy making sure the gym is spotless. Management always tries to answer questions and resolve concerns as quick as possible. Front desk staff always welcomes you with a smile and most even by name. Trainers are very knowledgeable and attentive.

Zoe Watkins: I've had the pleasure of working with Selina, a wonderful fitness trainer at Crunch Fitness who is helping me reach my fitness goals. She is warm, professional and always ready to lend a helping hand. I was hesitant to work out with a trainer at first but after one session with Selina, I was hooked! I wanted to change our normal workouts a bit and add more weights and she was more than happy to adjust to my needs. If you want a trainer who is dedicated to helping you meet your fitness goals, pick Selina. The entire staff at Crunch Fitness are friendly and welcoming. I always recommend people this place if they are looking for an affordable and quality gym membership.

Scott Shay: I usually go over lunch and it's never crowded, so I'm able to get my workout in very quickly. Staff are friendly and the gym is well maintained and clean. It's a small gym but I rarely have to wait for any of the equipment, whether machines or weights. Lots of cardio choices as well. I've been going to gyms for 30 years and this is one of the better ones I've been a member of.

Mikhail Nowlin: This is by far the best gym I have worked out at since moving too Maryland. Very clean, very friendly non judge mental environment. The staff are great! And for a low monthly price compared too other gyms. Check it out!!!!

Camilo Conde: The vibe of crunch is excellent. My trainer, Sean, and other staff are extremely helpful and positive. The variety of equipment is diverse and gives gym goers the ability to train with a highly varied program structure if desired. Also a short walk from the Friendship Heights metro station.

Marie Moylan: Excellent facility. Always active but never crowded. Great range of machinery and space for exercising. The cleaning staff are of the highest quality and are always working to clean and sanitize the facilities. Covid rules were followed religiously and I have always felt ‘Covid-safe’ working out there. We’ll organized, professional and friendly.

Colton Long: I’ve been coming to this Crunch location since fall 2018, and it’s been one of the best gyms I’ve frequented in the DMV. They’ve handled the pandemic and its ups and downs like rock stars. The only main caveat I’ll add here is that they desperately need squat racks that don’t have fixed safeties. Deadlift platforms are also a huge need, but squat racks with adjustable safeties are #1 on the list in my view.

Smiley Sunshine: Definitely worth the money spent! My favorite is the Sweatbox Class. Lost 14 pounds within a month and a 1/2 just in time for my wedding. Took a month off, then returned and worked out until the day of my surgery. I am recovering and So far, I can only do bike and light cardio :( but safety first. Once I'm cleared to do high intensity workouts, I will go to the Sweatbox. Can wait!

Taylor Hayes: I pay entirely too much money for there to be towels in the floor from a roof leak, a scale in the locker room that has been low battery for a week so I can’t weigh myself, and RUDE STAFF. Will be canceling my membership this month.

David Gershman: In the most appropriate way, I can say that Vida does not prioritize member safety in its steam rooms and saunas.

Joe Kawly: The most decent gym in DC. But lately, they have been faking short especially when it comesTo maintenance. It feels like each day there is something not working.

Mattia Pallozzi: Honestly I have had always a lovely experience, clean fun and the staff especially has always been pretty amazing, from managers to trainers! 👌🏻👌🏻

Harry Longlast: I a had meeting with Paul and all I can say is that I have never felt so uncomfortable and embarrassed before. His rude comments about my " big chunky thighs and lack of motivation " were very unprofessional. How do you even motivate someone by highlighting his/her insecurities? He was very rude and impatient. I am not an experienced lifter, however I was under the impression that the staff and culture at vida fitness were solid. The level of unprofessionalism really upset me and will for sure never come back. He was trying way too hard and pushing me to buy a membership and did not even consider my questions, concerns. I believe as a sales director or rep; you must be able to not only know your product but to hear your clients needs in order to better cater to their need. I run a local blog with over 5,000 daily readers and will for sure write about this awful experience. I understand I am overweight but I want to make the changes in my life that get me healthier; I just wish mr Paul, as a professional would be more empathetic and see me as a human being; not just a number.

Reynaldo Castillo: Positive: ProfessionalismAmazing workout experience from the membership consultation to the quality of the facility. Paul Leiby understood my fitness goals and listened to all my concerns as I came from another gym franchise. I fully endorse the quality of the experience and I guaranty you will see results in your fitness goals.

Jordan Bayless: Absolutely love the gym itself. The facility is large and has a dedicated floor for compound lifts filled with squat racks and deadlift platforms. Unfortunately, personal trainers usually dominate this space and use it for calisthenics and TRX workouts. Granted, they seem very focused on ensuring their clients have a great experience, just at the cost of other members. As a result, there is almost never an open rack or platform. The locker rooms are top notch. With a sauna, steam room, and showers that have excellent bath products, there is amazing attention to detail. The rest of the facility is nice as well. Although, it is devoid of some typically essential equipment such as seated leg curls. These spaces, to include cardio rooms, are often overcrowded and only seem to be less trafficked from 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. Overall, the facility is great, to include the rooftop pool. However, these seem to be used as selling points to encourage new members and after joining, the organization only is invested in trying to get members to spend more money through personal trainers, nutritionists, etc. rather than ensure members spending $180/month have an enjoyable experience.

Robert Mckernan: Pros: They have an entire floor dedicated to power lifting that has squat racks and platforms so you don’t have to wait! One always opens up within 3-5 minutes even at peak hours. The roof top pool is great and so is the food as well. I love those friggin’ wings and drinks! They also never run out of sanitizer, sprays, wipes and towels. Great hours is also a plus. I have a second membership at a competitor for later hours when my schedule entails but vida is definitely my preferred location. The members are super friendly and great and I never see anyone not masked or sassy when they’re required; I’ve made many friends at the pool so keep that in mind. Value is a plus; I’m used to spending ~150-300/mo for other premium/lux gyms and I feel what they charge is very fair. Also a barber in the gym is great and they have quality cuts. Cons: Their billing department is deficient, I’ve never had a issue with a gym not being able to schedule recurring charges, and it seems they have been unable to properly due so. The $150 sign up fee that gets rolled over into credit to use at the gym, it took two months for it to get added into the barber account. I had to follow up about it several times to make that happen. Very frustrating and not a very luxurious feeling to have to deal with that as a new member. Each month billing cycle roles around and i ask them (FD) if everything is squared away and they say yup/yes you're all good. Yet for the past two months in a row they contact me weeks after it’s due saying I have late fees and haven’t paid. Even when I’ve called and spoke to them each time on the phone after the first warning they still don’t properly process it and it ends up back after 10 days in a email; you have late fees, it’s very disappointing. I know they’re able to process my card; they’ve charged that same card “no show fees” when I’ve booked for the pool and it’s canceled due to rain. So it seems sus. It took about 3 weeks of my effort of calling, emailing and talking to the front desk to get that squared away to refund the “no show fee” when they closed the pool due to weather. In that process many emails were not answered. They did however eventually reverse the charges but it wasn’t easy and the communication was absent until finally getting ahold of the billing manager in person as she was taking out trash one day. She was very kind and apologizes and seemed to be the person who gets things done. If I were the owners I’d give her more tools or people to work in her department to make their billing staff efficient, or let someone else take out trash so she can better allocate her skills to where they’re most needed. The rude front desk manager in other posts is most likely John/Jon, he doesn’t listen to guests and always responds with attitude. I tried to review my account today and was met with “well maybe you should try paying your card so it doesn’t decline”, like dude I’ve never carried a balance, and when I paid it with the same card today in person there was no issue. I definitely did not appreciate his less than helpful personality. I would like this late fee reversed but I would happily pay $10 to not have to talk to John/Jon again. **Communication** Forget about trying to leave a message anywhere, inboxes are full at their billing specialists, pool inbox, everywhere on their phone tree. Emails aren’t answered, so your only chance to have them resolve any issue is in person, provided you find someone willing. Penthouse reservations; weekend slots for premium seating are booked quickly and often occupied primarily by their employees; seems sus. If you want a spot; set a alarm for 167.9 hours before you want it and immediately book when it changes to 168 hours, else lose your chance to vibe on a daybed or cabana on the weekend. In summary: it’s a good place and I’m sure they're doing the best they can during this pandemic, but boy it can be frustrating. If it gets better I’ll be sure to update this review. Best Rob

Kathleen Schwarz: After having my first child, I had a hard time finding an exercise class that allowed me to reconnect to my core muscles, adapt moves for my current abilities and range of motion, not strain a recovering pelvic floor, and still be challenging. The classes at barre3 have checked all these boxes! I’m already noticing much more stability in my core and the glute strength I’ve been missing after only one week of attending. I’d definitely recommend this for someone returning to exercise postpartum!

Kristen Sharpe: I've taken several classes with different instructors, in-person and via zoom with Barre3 DC and each one has been great! The instructors give modifications for every fitness level and the workouts are full-body without being hard on your joints. Trust me, muscles you didn't even know you had will be sore!

Nhu Girl: If you’re new, I like to say Barre3 is a mixture of Zumba, Yoga, and Ballet techniques combined. It’s fun, upbeat and challenging. They offer a lot of time slots so it’s easy to schedule a class into your day. Parking is easy to find and love their location.

Jessica Goodman: barre3 DC studios (Clarendon, Navy Yard, Union Station) consistently provide a stellar workout and a wide variety of options to keep me engaged and successful during workouts. The staff and members are very welcoming and non-judgemental. Highly recommend.

Elizabeth Charash: Great classes!! Love an early morning workout and it is so nice to have so many options throughout the week. The instructors are great and the studio is a nice respite from a busy day.

Gwen Cummings: I love this studio! It's conveniently located, immaculately clean, and feels like an oasis after a long work day. I've been to three classes so far and have yet to be disappointed in an instructor. I'll definitely be going regularly.

Mathea Pielemeier: Barre3 instructors are always friendly, energetic, and welcoming! It’s a great low impact workout and good combo of cardio & strength work.

Abby Balmert: Barre3 is by far the best barre studio in the DMV area - much better than PureBarre or BarreMethod. I love the instructors' energy and the combination of cardio, yoga, and classic barre moves. The ball, sliders, bands and weights make for great props and an intense workout. I always work up a great sweat - and shake - while I'm here!

Cally Perkins: Barre3 Navy Yard is a great experience. Impressive studio with plenty of space and fun instructors who keep you energized and going! Highly recommend.

R. Montgomery: We are really enjoying the flexibility of using Foundation Fitness to get and stay in shape. The gym is convenient and friendly and we are enjoying a bonus of couples group training!

Mariana Salas: Positive: Professionalism, QualityThis gym is truly great! They have all the popular equipment you’ll need and a great space to do your own thing. The staff is incredibly friendly and the space is always clean. If you’re looking for a low-key gym this is it. I feel super comfortable and they offer a variety of classes in your membership.

Ben Rissler: This is an excellent gym with friendly staff! The facility is relatively small, but the gym has everything that you need to have a good workout. The gym is always immaculately clean, COVID-19 procedures are followed by everyone, and its online people tracker allows you to see how many individuals are at the gym at any given time. During the pandemic, this is a great feature if you prefer to limit your exposure to others. The outdoor deck is a unique addition which allows you to workout outside, which is rare to find in cities. Highly recommend this gym!

Maureen O'Brien: This gym is fantastic! I've been a member for about a decade. Everyone who works at FF Cleveland Park is friendly and professional. They know every members' name. I started training with Tony about six months ago - best trainer I've ever had. They absolutely helped me get through quarantine - not just because I could exercise, but because of the interpersonal, social atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Shahrzad RoshanZamir: If you live close to the Woodley/Cleveland area, Foundation Fitness is definitely the highest quality gym with the most convenient location!! They have a variety of equipments that can be used by both beginner and advanced lifters. Both the staff and the members are very respectful and keep all the equipment clean, which is a plus. The staff is super supportive and welcoming. They made the environment of the new gym feel very friendly and provided with any help that I needed! If you are in DC for a short time/internship, they will work with you!! Their summer deal saved me so much money!

Danielle Lee: Love this boutique style gym! Been a member for a few years and the staff is always pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable. Clean gym and even an outdoor space for some socially distant fresh air workouts. Imani is my trainer and I’ve grown in strength, endurance and confidence since working out with her. Love her motivation. Keeps me on my toes. And always shares great tips for me to practice at home too. Def check it out if you’re in the area. Worth it!

Kevin Lucey: The gym has everything you need as well as a nice personal feel. The members are very friendly and nice. The workers are enthusiastic and provide a good energy to the gym. The after hours is an outstanding policy that makess it much easier for the member to fit a workout into their schedule. Overall, the gym is a great atmosphere for a workout.

Emily: Everyone at foundation fitness Cleveland park is fantastic!! Imani and Tony are great trainers, they are fun and motivating. They make working out enjoyable. I recommend coming and training with them, they are so personable and awesome. Jenee is so welcoming and friendly. I enjoy everyone here and love coming in!

Edeline D.: I have been a member at this gym for a few months and I am very pleased with my experience. While on the small side, the facility is well maintained and equipped with everything needed to help you look and feel great. The staff is great and they are always happy to help or provide guidance during visits. Another plus is that the gym is conveniently located near the metro stop and the hours are flexible for anyone with a busy schedule. Special shoutout to Jenee, Imani, and Tony who are always welcoming and kind!

Kelly Blackwell: Is it a gym with standard equipment, yes. Is it convenient if you live in Navy Yard, yes. Are the extra perks they promise you worth the over priced membership, NO! Will you get the run around when trying to book your “complimentary training sessions”, YES! Will you get the run around when you want to stop your membership, YES! You’re an adult, make your own choice. Just know this is clearly a place with pressure on numbers so take that for what you want. Don’t go excited to start a fitness program because the trainers won’t respond and it will kill any motivation you have. Just be warned that this is probably not a place for anyone starting a new journey or looking for help. But if you just want a place to go, maybe it’s for you if you don’t mind the high cost.

Michael Cave: Perhaps the worst gym in the entirety of DC. The equipment is rarely racked correctly, the locker room is dirty and the staff is rude and feels inconvenienced by your presence. Additionally, they are requiring boosters as entire countries (the UK) is rolling back their mandates. I guess Vida's PH professionals know more than the UK's? That is very interesting. I would encourage not joining this gym and either working out in an apt gym or if that is not available finding transportation to another gym. I changed to a gym in NoVa and it is the smartest move I have ever made.

Sandie Bonwinkor: I’m currently a new member at this gym, so far I have to say.. everyone has been super nice and the energy of the gym naked me want to go hard (harder of course). The price for the kind of “luxury” gym and energy of the gym I think is worth it. Also, I get gym shy (lol). I quickly got over that because EVERYONE is literally in their own space and world, but super nice. It feels like I’m just kinda working out and doing my thing (which I love).

Spiro Dimakas: Great gym and staff. Clean and newer equipment. Parking is very problematic after 3pm and routinely cars are double parked in the lot. Limited street parking and the larger lot at the grocery store doesn’t honor cross validation so you’ll end up missing a lot of workouts if your plan is to drive after work. If you don’t drive this is a great gym to go to!

Hope Greenleaf: Love the pool, the actual gym is great, the classes are just okay, and my favorite part is the luxurious locker rooms complete with sauna and steam room!

David Gershman: Considering VIDA - on JUNETEENTH OF ALL DAY - made a WATERMELON-based cocktail speaks to the RACISM the company possesses. Can’t imagine what it’s like to carry that much hate. I feel bad for Vida— I feel bad for those whose values are such.

Joe Edward: Amazing gym. If they ever close down, a night club could move in without changing a thing.

Scott Garvey: Vida was quite nice before Covid. Since Covid they've made changes to cut corners and save money but they are still the most expensive gym membership in DC with dwindling amenities. Select cardio equipment goes months without repair with no sign of when it will be repaired or replaced. Towels have stains and still circulated to the welcome station.

Todd Marino: Positive: Communication, Professionalism, QualityThe staff is super friendly and down to earth, they definitely took me by surprise! If you go at the right time, the gym is practically empty too; nice spacious, ridiculously clean & modern areas that you only have to share with a few others. I don’t use any of the amenities for your comparison purposes, to include the locker room.

Candace Avonne: Zumba classes are awesome and full of energy. Come ready to work...there is no working up to it. They start fast and go until the end. Great work out. You will sweat.

Nathalie Arvanitakis: ZSweat is the greatest little gem in Montgomery County!! If you're in shape-or not, if you're wearing a cute Zumba outfit-or not, if you know how to do the steps-or not, the owners/instructors are very warm and welcoming!! The classes are high energy and super fun with music that flows into your bloodstream!! Even the students are friendly with smiles and high fives!! First class is free and the prices are reasonable!! Try it-you'll LOVE it!!

Francesca Leli: Went to the soft-opening 90 minute class on 11/19 and had a BLAST! The Zumba teachers were super high energy, the song chores were easy to follow, and all the students were very welcoming and inclusive. It just opened so the space is super clean, new, and beautiful! Plenty of free parking too. I am purchasing the unlimited membership package!

Ana Robles: Positive: Communication, Professionalism, QualitySince the start of the pandemic Zsweat has been livestreaming zumba and other classes every week that one can follow from the safety of home. A women-owned local small business that is all-around awesome.

Joanna Hoopes: I can’t say enough wonderful things about Z Sweat, the energetic instructors, and the community that Mariela and Nati have cultivated at the studio. I can guarantee you’ll have a GREAT time during class at Z Sweat, dancing, singing, sweating, and laughing! I have never had more fun in an exercise class and Z Sweat is a second home to me and many others. It is, without question, the BEST PLACE FOR ZUMBA in the DMV!

Chelsea Wynter: Did Zumba Toning on Thursday night and I LOVED it! Every part of my body was sore in a good way. Loved the class and loved the high energy. I will definitely be back on Monday after I'm not so sore LOL.

Cynthia Shannon Burke: Best Zumba classes ever! So much fun and a great workout. Everyone is so friendly and the vibe is enthusiastic & warm.

Diane Webber-Thrush: I have been doing zumba for more than 10 years, and the instructors at this studio are THE BEST. Also a fun, energetic group of (mostly) ladies to dance with.

Caitlin Magidson: I love Z Sweat!! Such an amazing community with the BEST energy!! If you're looking for a great workout and new friends, this is the place to be!

April: Personal Training - Thomas Harrington After being out of the gym for a while, Thomas was much needed. He is kind, engaging, patient and knowledgeable just to name a few. What I really like about him, he takes the time to explain the whats and whys. It doesn't feel like he's just "doing his job". Thomas goes above and beyond to explain the mechanics in layman's terms. After each session I walk away having learned something. He loves what he does, and he's happy to pass it on. Thomas gets 10s from me.

Luke Brown: Thomas Harrington was the trainer I needed! Thomas has revolutionized my workout regimen and level of fitness. Not only am I noticeably stronger and more toned, I also have greater self-confidence in the gym, better kinesthetic awareness, and a bevy of workout routines will demonstrated results. Thomas has been a strong balance of expertise and care for me. He frequently spent additional time showing me an alternative exercise, checking-in about my hesitations, or demonstrating an additional stretch for a lingering ache. I actively looked forward to our time together, and I will apply his instruction for years to come. I had been hesitant to pay for a personal trainer, yet investing in my time with Thomas has been a massive personal victory. I would recommend Thomas to anyone hoping to build more effective workout routines, prevent or recuperate from an injury, or develop their confidence in and around the gym. Whether you are looking to fine tune your workouts or turn more heads, I'd invest in time with Thomas.

Conor O'Reilly: I had a personal training session with Phil and he did a great job! He taught me a lot about free weights and stretching. Now I feel more comfortable to use the more advanced equipment. They also have a pool, sauna, and basketball court. Love this place

Terry Chasteen: I joined on a special rate, maybe it was 2018. Due to my own fault, I never used the gym ... not once. I cannot blame that on anyone else, however I would have thought with a new client in a business like this, someone would have reached out; invited me in for a tour, found out why I was paying monthly but never using the facility. No one ever contacted me for the full year that I was billed. That is not the worst part, however, Even though it was NOT in the contract, they automatically renewed my membership without my approval and not only at my original rate but almost $30/mo above. This went on for a year since I never used that credit card and it was paid monthly automatically by my bank. Only bc of sething else on the card did I notice the fraudulant charges and they were too old for my bank to recover.

Benyam Ephrem: Scheduled an InBody scan a week ago (as a non-member), came in prepped for the scan (no breakfast) at 10am - front desk said they did not have an appointment asking if I received a confirmation email (I said I got no calls or emails), then made me scan a QR code on a banner to schedule for another day since apparently the person doing the scans would be in at 5pm. Frustrating experience. Will not be coming back to the gym.

Gregory Alan: Critical: QualityMediocre at best. See attached pictures below. The equipment is not well maintained and does not justify the cost of membership. Also the club hours are terrible on the weekends.

Thaiz Alicia: Do not come to this gym!!! They do not care for your safety!! They will cancel your membership for protecting yourself from weird men that will follow you around ! Stay safe and go to a gym that will help you out and help you enjoy your gym experience instead of canceling your membership!

Mahvash Edrissi: I started going to gym a month ago, first it was difficult to come out after so long time lock down. But after few days I got used to it now i want to go there everyday. Friendy staff, and clean place, and all equipment makes this place great. I do my exercise, take a shower and saunas, afterwards I feel great about myself. Thank you wsc

Bita Kh: The worst customer service I’ve ever seen. Nobody takes responsibility for the actions. They charge me with new fee membership that is more than the original one because of the mistake that made by themselves. I’ve spoke with customer service and sales department several times, everybody already aware of this problem but no action. When I follow up they send me to new person. This is absurd.

David Gershman: Today I signed up and had a great experience. Mike, in membership, not only showed me around- they answered every question with full clarity, gave me far more insight than I expected, and was simply very nice and sweet. I knew I was going to get a membership going in, but it’s nice to get warmth and comfort instantly upon arrival. Felt like I was one of the regular folks

June Wade: Scheduled a spa massage for my friend’s birthday at the Ritz Carlton/ Equinox (Foggy Bottom) location. The staff was courteous and the gym was clean. I was disappointed the spa does not offer champagne or snacks for special occasions, instead we were given “swag bags” full of gym advertisements and trinkets. If you’re not a guest at the hotel, arriving early is highly recommended (parking, etc). Must walk outside to enter Equinox since elevator access to spa is for guest only. My massage therapist was (Donna) friendly, courteous but chatty. I was not interested in talking about where I live, hearing comments about my “poor”elbows🙄 or asking why my shoulders were so tight during my 80 minute massage. Unfortunately , the massage was not good (technique). Ambiance was fair in the room, there was no soothing music or waterfall fountains, just dim lights, and a cool quiet room. The warm bed with robes was a nice perk.Not a fan of the massage lotion (dry paste) used, she had to continuously spend time stepping away from the massage to reapply. I’m giving this spa 3 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️since my girlfriend had a positive experience with her masseuse. In addition, they provided a quiet space and champagne glasses for us to enjoy our BYOB champagne post massage. Would not recommend, lacks luxury for the price. $500+ ( 2 people)

Lauren Arquette: As all the other reviews said, horrible customer service. The club itself is fine, but don't try to bring a guest and don't try to cancel the membership because it's impossible and no one responds. I was a member for all of a week and tried to quit because I was told when signing up a guest of mine could come if I gave them that guests info. Gave them my guests info- they never put it in the system and turned them away at the door without even trying to investigate the problem/track down the person who gave my guest the ok. Was also told they hard certain equipment for rent when they didn't. If this was a planet fitness I wouldn't complain, but this is a $200+/month club that markets itself as elite. Nothing is elite about their customer service. Per the customer agreement you get 15 days to cancel and get a refund- tried emailing the manager for my refund, tried calling the concierge and nothing yet. I'd love to know if they actually even answer the emails they get when they respond to these complaints "sorry to hear about your experience! contact us as at..."

TPMT Associates: Love it here as usual - they take care of the place and most importantly, the people who works out here take care of the place and is clean and tidy and doesn’t trash the place. As usual, it’s the people who come to gyms that are the messy/dirty and this place doesn’t have those ppl - not that I saw anyways!

John Heinemann: You get what you pay for. This gym doesn’t make sense for everyone, no one is a better person for going here, and a free gym in an apartment building is going to do 90% of what Equinox does. But the other 10%? I actually look forward to working out more when there’s both a sauna and a steam room, a saltwater pool, luxury bath products, memory foam floors for stretching, and refrigerators full of Eucalyptus infused face towels. I go for the amenities, and then I just decide to work out because I’m already there.

Lena Fleischmann: Lots of amenities (pool, basketball court, steam room, sauna, soulcyle bikes...), good customer service, they constantly make improvements by adding products in the changing rooms like razors, hair ties, curling irons etc. What I don't like about it (apart from the price obviously): it's pretty much packed no matter what time you go which is annoying - wish they had a gadget in the app that would tell you how busy it is beforehand. Also, showers aren't always very clean.

Izabella Ritz: The club has a pool with saltwater which is very convenient, covid safety is great, the thing why I didn't join is no natural lights in a building, which is very important for me personally.

Gelila Sebhatu: I called to inquiry about membership packages and I found the sales rep, Erica, a little rude and she did not directly answer my questions, which was irritating. Based on the reviews here, I’m not surprised I received this type of experience. I guess I’ll be looking elsewhere. I just wanted a nearby pool 🏊‍♀️

Ebony Williams: Do not work at equinox if you have living situation or just a situation period the manger Duane don’t care if you have living situation problems he even told one of the employees that mid shift is childish because we all going through something sorry if you hired people who have living situation or who gave problems and be careful of the Towels and hand towels they wash them in hot water only no solution that why the towels look a little dirty Yess I use to work their and got fired because I was trying to find a place to stay the days I called out because I was homeless the cleaning manger is horrible at his job and HR needs to send a Secret Santana to see how they clean the place

Tarica Danielle: My body felt so amazing leaving my first Zumba class with the fitness instructor Blair! I broke a great sweat and had fun while doing it. I highly recommend fitness training with Blair as well as visiting this facility!

Muriel Hubbard: This is simply the best gym there is. It’s more than just a place to come and get fit. It’s a community of people who care about each other and revel in each other’s successes and encourage each other to be the best you can be. I love every day I come to The Energy Club even when the work is harder than I think I can handle. And I always learn that I CAN handle it because all that requires is giving 100% whatever that 100% looks like that day.

Jen W: Small gym with excellent equipment, great trainers, and a really nice locker room.

Sarah Humphries: I can't say enough good things about the Energy Club. The staff is amazing, Tom Tomlo, the fitness director, is unbelievable, and they are incredibly lucky to have him. The classes are awesome. I love being there; it is so much more than just a gym. I've been a member of gyms all my life, and this is the first time I've felt such a sense of community and belonging. They care so much about your progress, your fitness level, and all levels are encouraged. They work very hard to make people feel welcome, to host events that build connections, and to offer people the best in fitness. I feel so grateful to be a member- thank you Energy Club!

Stephanie Bredahl: I’ve been a member for about 2 years and can’t say enough great things about this gym. Staff is very friendly and welcoming, easy parking. Amazing classes! Love Patrick’s classes, I train with him too and if you’re looking for a personal train he is outstanding. He pushes you, makes sure you have proper form and makes each workout ‘fun’. Spin classes a great-they got new bikes recently and new gym equipment. Try the rock climbing wall!

Christian Lilakos: The Energy Club is a great value for the cost. They house any and all equipment you need to train, whether you are a competitive athlete or just looking to train for general fitness. There is everything from functional equipment to Olympic platforms. There is even a small rock wall. I’ve been in correspondence with Howard, whom made sure to show me all of the facility and amenities . He also went over and explained the different membership packages, as the club has different options to suit your needs. Highly recommended.

Angelo: UPDATE: Donald (GM) is a true professional. He personally reached out and worked out a plan that would be beneficial to his establishment and customer satisfaction and peace of mind. Thank you Donald. UPDATE: Stellar staff and great amenities, never a wait for machines or weights during the times I workout. Very clean and functional extremely pleased with this gym. UPDATE: Still love this gym, just a quick note, locker rooms have towels, soap, shampoo, and just about anything you can think of or need. Always stocked and clean. Staff always has a smile and ready to help.

Amelia Marple: Probably the best gym I’ve ever belonged to ever. I was a member for about 3-years and referred many people to join this gym. The staff and comradarie among the other members was unbeatable.

Derek Fronabarger: Horrific experience. Not only did they charge extra to leave (I’m month to month) but there were constant issues with people attempting to sell drugs in the locker room. If you want an over crowded gym, with shady people using the locker rooms, any a rude management who would not stop email - then this place is just for you. I would not recommend at all.

Lallie Marita: The staff and trainers at CCAC have been some of the best. A lot of gyms feel very “money-grabber” so-to-speak and I have never once felt this way here, even though many will simply go out of their way to offer a correction or two. This gym also appears to attract everyone, but definitely leans toward a younger to middle-age crowd, all are welcome nonetheless!

Lisa Wu: I live closeby in a neighboring apartment complex and recently joined CCAC a couple months ago after touring the facility and doing a free trial. I highly recommend attending their Strong class with Hayat every Tuesday and Thursday; this has been a game changer for me and my fitness goals. It has helped me tighten up and tone my body all over - especially my core and inner thighs. This instructor is one of the best I have ever taken from and is extremely motivating and personable!

Jonathan Steele: This gym is of even greater value than what you pay for. If you want to be part of a community and actually get to know people within the facility you're signing up for, join this gym. It's a real community that motivates and supports each other. The management is great and I can attest to the fact most negative reviews occurred because people did not abide by guidelines in the contract or clear direction from management. With the current staff and employees, I can confidently say CCAC is well worth every penny. Highly recommend this club and asking to try using one of their personal trainers... I've never been so sore but made so much progress.

Tim Smythe: Just recently joined with some of my friends from AU and a couple guys interning in the area and it's been great. Awesome variety of gym equipment and the staff members are really friendly, chill, and genuine. They'll validate parking for $1 up to 2.5 hours and they have a sauna and steam room which is cool. Middle-age to younger vibe and the owner Steve White is really nice about taking the time to correct form or make things harder... you will be sore though. Check it out.

amelia brooks: I joined about a month ago with some friends and we have loved this place! Super convenient since we live in a house not too far away during the year, and now summer with internships. They just recently started offering a deal for college students in the area, so I highly recommend checking it out - and if you love a quieter time to workout with less people, I recommend the mornings here! Super spacious and the staff is so friendly and personable. Everyone pretty much knows each member by name and they're super encouraging! We've felt really comfortable in this place when it comes to COVID and everyone seems to be doing their part.

JJLindsanity: This club is amazing! It definitely meets all of my exercise needs, so much space! I love all the equipment choices that they have, every time I visit I can't help but to try something new- love at first try! I also love how the staff knows everybody who comes in by name- so nice! This is definitely the place to be (exercise)!

Pete Kaminskas: I recently 'discovered' CCAC when looking for a place to practice squash with my daughter. I was pleasantly surprised to learn about the breadth of equipment and programs beyond the 3 squash courts (which are very nice). Moreover, they recently upgraded their equipment and improved spacing to promote better distancing. CCAC is a hidden gem and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a clean, well-run gym with friendly staff.

Medhavi Bhatia: I would be very careful with this facility. The owners are very bad at managing billing. Look at my credit card statement below. I left the club in Feb and after a couple of disputes which I presumed settled this, I noticed very late that the owner kept charging me. By the time I found out, the credit card company would not refund me between March and May. I informed the club in September and after that not only they did not refund me between March and May, they also kept charging me in Oct, Nov and Dec. The owner was extremely rude and I found that they have done this with other members too. They sign members up and if the member does not meet their revenue generation criteria within a year, they kick the member out and make up the loss via such billing as much as possible. I am $500 down! Please save yourself!

Rebecca Post: Critical: Communication, ProfessionalismSimilar to a previous poster, we canceled our membership and continue to be charged months after. Despite writing several times to Claire, no response. - WOW, that response below is rich given we did all the paperwork on November 23rd and are still being charged.

Sophia Howard: PIES is a wonderful studio for everyone but especially for those that have ever felt unwelcome ANYWHERE! The yoga is a bonus to the Community piece :)

Fred Williams: Not just another Yoga studio, variety is the spice of life!

TL H: Very professional and courteous staff! I’m new to yoga and I purchased a Groupon to try this place. I mentioned it to a friend and she just happened to be a regular at Pies. She suggested that we go to Mellow Yoga, which is great for beginners. First off, if you purchase a Groupon you have to register on the PIES website first. Contact the studio for more details, about 48 hours prior to your first visit. I visited the valley forge location. It was clean and inviting with a cozy decor. The instructor, Kimberly, was fantastic and very friendly. I told her I was a beginner and she allowed for this by incorporating plenty of props and modifications. Mellow yoga was an amazingly relaxing and meditative experience— very soft music, dim lights, very soothing. I’ve already scheduled another class for next week! This was a 10/10 experience!

Duma H: Lovely studio! My family absolutely loves this place. The owner is very nice and we ended up getting lifetime subscriptions so we can always keep coming back. Important note: PIES is actually two studios that are across from each other. Make sure to double check which one your class is at on the schedule before you go there.

Tam Tran: Every class that I have taken here has lifted my spirits. The owner Marsha answered my very first call to the studio and she made me feel welcome. All of the instructors I have met here have been knowledgeable, kind, and patient. The facilities are clean and calming. This is the perfect peaceful place to heal your mind and body with yoga!

Wanda Colbert: Purchased a groupon to try the studio but never received a call back to make the first appointment. After a week or so decided to purchase a class online to check it out and talk about redeeming my groupon in person. My card was charged 2xs in error and figured I would be refunded when I got to the studio. I arrived at the location for it to be closed. The owner was in her car waiting for a solo client by chance and informed me the class I booked was at her other location. She also inforned me that there was a no refund policy even though the xtra $s were taken in error and also my groupon could no longer be used since I booked and paid for my 1st appt. The actual yoga instructor, Maggie, was amazing and I give her a 5 star. I left a msg a few days later to see if I could use the overpmt towards the new customer special and again never received a return call! Contacted groupon customer service to inform them of my experience and my bank to dispute the duplicate charge. The worst customer service ever by a business owner I've ever received!

Alison Arnold Spinney: I've been going to PIES for almost 3 years now, and at the time I was brand new to yoga. There is a wonderful variety of classes offered here for every level, and every interest. The multiple locations in the Alexandria neighborhood make classes very convenient to attend! Never had a bad teacher. Marsha's "My Body Don't Bend That Way" was the PERFECT class for the uninitiated. Now I"m all about Yuki's Vinyasa.

Kristi Schueler: I have visited many yoga studios in several states and I have yet to find one that embodies yoga philosophy so authentically! The community is diverse and accepting of everyone. What I love most is the spirit of servitude and the opportunities they provide for everyone to experience the benefits of physical movement through their $7 community and zumba classes, their yoga therapy for the special needs community, yoga en espanol, and the adaptive/therapeutic classes that are perfect those with some extra challenge from illness, injury or age. The flagship class, My Body Don't Bend That Way with Marsha, is not to be missed if you think you can't do yoga!

J&K: Great studio, particularly if you are new to yoga. Very inviting (and not intimidating) environment. There is something here for everyone. If you’ve been thinking about trying yoga, but have been scared to try, go to PIES!

Emily Coates: Don't get a membership that's annual unless you want absolutely not flexibility or ability to leave or make changes and keep getting charged. customer service is abysmal. I moved far enough away I should have been able to cancel but because my ID had my old address when I enrolled they wouldn't honor it. Now I am being charged for a second year and I haven't even been there in MONTHS!!!!

Bravo Elizabeth: They provide an energy-filled and fun workout experience that I always look forward to every week. I've been going for 8 months now and have seen great results!!

Terry Loveman: Positive: Communication, Professionalism, QualityI’ve been at this gym for eight or nine years. The people are great, and it has a very community feel. And everyone is eager to help you achieve your fitness goals. Great atmosphere and classes, too. I highly recommend it.

Allen Luethke: The employees really care and are always kind to the customers - even on those early mornings when I'm sure it would be better to hide in a cup of coffee. I want to give a special commendation to the employees who are ALWAYS wiping down equipment, cleaning surfaces, and even vacuuming behind gym-goers. Seriously, who does that?! It took me a while to venture back into gyms following COVID, but the team at Onelife Reston has never left me feeling uneasy about my decision to return. They are truly a notch above. I'd also like to note that the culture at this gym is strong. The gym-goers are courteous of each other, and the clients are clearly serious about health and wellness. It's a diverse crowd with guys lifting more than I could ever dream as well as folks who might be venturing into the gym for the first time. Again, the culture is strong, and the people are kind and courteous. All are made to feel welcome at this gym, and I am constantly recommending it to those I know in the market for a new place to workout.

Bob Cochran: Positive: Communication, Professionalism, QualityProfessional, helpful staff will help you or leave you alone, whichever you prefer. Modern, clean equipment. Locker rooms are large and clean. The cleaning people have been there for years and are outstanding. The background music does not cater to old people, but is not too loud. It’s a nice well-run place.

Jane Batten: Everyone is so kind and engaging and dedicated to improving my challenging fitness level. They even went above and beyond recently when I lost my car keys. GM and trainers (including Cat) took the time to check the security tape which showed me walking out with the keys, and Trainer Sam (who said this was one of his talents) found them outside the next morning. Also the gentleman who cleans the gym looked through every trash can. I very much appreciate everyone going above and beyond during their very busy schedules to help me with a personal problem. Thank you…Jane

Dan McGuire: I cancelled my membership after 3 years because I feel the Manager Chris Francis isn't doing enough to enforce the covid restrictions mandated by the Governor and the safety policies of Onelife Fitness. Masks are required while in the locker room yet 75% of the members are not wearing masks in the locker room. The urinals are 2ft apart so you can't keep a safe distance when someone comes up and uses the urinal next to you without a mask. Signage in and around the locker room are poorly placed and no one reads them. I asked Chris to put one of the two urinals out of service but he refused. On top of that, like others have posted, they are charging me for an additional month even though I clearly stated that it was a health and safety issue and they are required to provide a safe environment for its members. The customer service department has been less than helpful in trying to resolve the situation. But that's not all, the gym is old. The equipment is old. It's hot and has poor ventilation. The parking lot is falling apart. In my opinion, this gym should be closed!

Susan Caley: I have been a member of this club since it opened.. I have also used many other Fitness type clubs when I travel and I have never seen a club as well maintained, with super friendly staff and is so amazingly clean! At all times of the day and night the cleaning staff are in attendance, busy scrubbing away! I have had no fear during these Covid times because of the cleanliness, the attention to making sure everyone keeps their distance and making sure everybody wears a mask and has no temperature when entering. I love this club! Great job!

Andrew Shea: This is my last month at OneLife due to relocating for a job - and I’m going to miss it! Having been a member at many gyms over the year - Chris and his team at OneLife have been by far the best. From getting me registered during the COVID-19 pandemic, to all the services they’ve offered - I’ve been shocked at how great a gym this is. OneLife also has a wide variety of equipment, and it’s NEW and ALWAYS maintained! There hasn’t ever been a hindrance to my physical fitness at this gym - I actually look forward to the gym! For the price, location, and the amazing staff - you can’t find anywhere better. Take a chance and give em a visit! Thank you OneLife!

Layth Baheej: The location is perfect. The size of the gym is fantastic. Bathroom are broken and dirty. Shower curtain has mold! Roof the shower has some mold too. Sauna is dirty and I can promise it has not cleaned since December. Broken equipment more than 3-4 months! Common LA Fitness!

James Robert: WORST LA FITNESS IN AMERICA: Most La Fitnesses get knocked for having broken equipment, but this location always seems to have significantly more pieces out of service - both weights and cardio, than ANY other gym I’ve been to. The staff is okay, but rarely greet you coming in or out. The club actually stinks... like, has an odd odor to it. The biggest issue for me is there is no WiFi at this location (in 2021...seriously!?) To makes matters worse, the building has zero cell phone reception. This location also gets a 1/5 on cleanliness (see aforementioned odor). Lastly, they DO NOT enforce mask mandates. People simply walk in with their mask and quite literally take them off once past the front desk. Bottom line: If you’re just looking for a place with weights and aren’t particularly adverse to contracting covid, this is your place. If not, you’ll probably want to look elsewhere. Update: As of 12/15/2021: more than half of the cardio machines have been out of order for MONTHS and there are roaches (photos attached) 1/9/2022: Not that it matters much at this point— BUT as of today the elevators are past inspection (photo of expired cert attached). I only know this because the door momentarily failed to open as I was going between the first and second floor. (When you’re stuck in an elevator you tend to check these things..) I suppose things are just what they are with this gym. Member safety, cleanliness, facility upkeep… are simply nonexistent. Be sure to ask these complaints and others like mine posted here when they’re trying to sell you on joining.

John S: I've cancelled membership at many gyms over the years and my only unpleasant experience has been at this LA Fitness. I called to cancel and was informed I needed to come in between specific hours to speak with the individual in charge of memberships. I did as requested and despite her attempts convince me not to cancel, I was persistent and was finally informed that my membership had been cancelled. One month later, my bank account was charged monthly dues and an annual fee. When I called seeking clarification, the individual in charge of memberships became combative and attempted to gaslight me by telling me we'd never spoken. I understand mistakes happen but the response to their mistake left me wondering what type of training LA Fitness is providing their membership team and whether they actively encourage this behavior.

Rahma Hejja: I like LA fitness in general for Zumba classes and swimming. This one was good location and convenient for me, but I had to cancel my membership. My concern is, they don’t accept canceling on the phone or online, so for one month I was too busy to go , especially after my working hours and I had a newborn baby, and I paid for one month without going any day, so today in my weekend I went to Cancel my membership and guess what?! It was so easy check chak done! So why they couldn’t do this on phone and let me pay $44.99 for no reason!

Lan R: This location continues to be the ‘armpit’ of LA Fitness. I recently visited the gym after a few months and found the sauna door still broken from months ago. Also, on this visit, I noticed the shower curtains in the men’s locker room were moldy, and the lockers had not been cleaned or wiped down in some time as a layer of dust was visible on most of them (photo example attached). The sauna smelled terrible, along with the sauna door that had to be forced open just to enter and exit. It appears this location just stopped cleaning after COVID and takes no pride in its appearance or upkeep. I, personally, will pay a few extra dollars for a gym membership elsewhere where you don’t feel ‘dirty’ just trying to shower and change your clothes. Furthermore, the staff just sits on their personal cellphones at the front desk while you are waiting to be helped or checked in. LA Fitness, you have to take accountability and fix this!!

Martin Geiger: Never seen a messier gym in my life. There is equipment all over the place and the whole gym smells terribly. I’ve never seen an employee cleaning the place and I’m there every day. They just sit at the front desk with AirPods in on their phones

Maya Jones: I stand by the one star. If staff wasn't nice and the Zumba class wasn't so fun, then I would give it zero stars. LITERALLY almost every machine has an out of order note. Fine if you want free wieghts (hahaha) the benches are broken too. All the equipment is rusty. I should have taken pictures but the comment pictures are accurate. Bad equipment that you cannot use. It is literally not worth $5 a month. The zumba class is fun I love Ana. I cancelled my membership today with very little pain after I walked in tried to use the treadmill (all broken), then the elliptical (all broken if not in use), the stair stepper (all broken), and even the elliptical varients were broken too. I was trying to give people space and not use the machine next to them but ironnically all of them were broken too. I gave up and rowed for 10 minutes. Then attempted to use the wieghts and the benches were broken. I then tried the wieght machines and serval were BROKEN. You see the trend its a BROKEN gym. When I was fed up and wanted to cancel...I went straight to the guy at the front desk who looked at my ID and cancelled my membership on the spot. He was very kind and took care of it. I will not be billed anymore and I still can use the gym until Feb. Overall, that expereince was not bad. I do not relate to the theft comments, I always keep my valuables with me and if I leave something in the lockeroom it is just a jacket with no money, valuables, or keys. I will update if they still bill me.

Adrian Mathura: As a member for several years now, I watch this gym’s management rake-in years of COVID19 membership income, while re-investing NOTHING to provide working equipment and hygienic facilities —the toilets, urinals, bathrooms, sauna, and cardio equipment are consistently in disrepair and visibly dirty. Good location and garage parking warrant the single star.

Epic Work: This location looks cool but upon closer analysis it is filthy. What looks like Dog hair all over the mats and equipment. Went home and stray hairs all over my clothes. Not what you expect at the newer Potomac area. Went with a girlfriend and we wiped the equipment and mats with a white towel and it was black after we wiped it. No bueno

Devin Boehmer: I've been a member here for over three years. I signed up because I moved to the Ballston area, but I have continued my membership over the past few years even after moving farther away to 2 other locations in Arlington! I love the variety of group fitness classes and find all the instructors to be professional, engaging and friendly. The only equipment I typically use in other parts of the gym is in the treadmill area, and have never been in a situation where I've been unable to find an open machine (even during peak times). The gym was renovated three years ago (around when I first joined) and I still find the quality of the equipment and facilities to be great. The value you get for the membership rate that you pay has always seemed reasonable to me. During the height of the pandemic in 2020, I greatly appreciated the level of seriousness that the staff took in terms of mask-wearing policies, cleanliness, and group fitness attendance limitations. I even emailed feedback about continuing to enforce mask-wearing policies that I felt was received well by the staff and taken into consideration/addressed. The Ballston One Life makes my fitness/gym experience very enjoyable and I always recommend it to friends and other locals in the area!

Laura Henschel: Brittany and her team and the Ballston location are awesome. They have been so accommodating as I moved clubs from OneLife Rockville to their location, helped me with guest passes, towel service questions, and anything else I could need. I love this location because of the ample free weights section, including the brand new turf section used for stretching, dynamic workouts, etc. and their dry sauna and steam room. The outdoor terrace area is great when the weather is nice. Fun to people watch there or on the treadmills and get a workout in. I also enjoy their workout class selection -- the yoga room is great and the club has lots of equipment for every need -- blocks, pilates tools, bands, barbell pads, etc. and the staff is always around keeping the space clean. Nobody asked me to write a review, just needed to brag about how much I love my gym!

sebastian Benitez: Is look a nice one, unfortunately I wasn't able to come in and do my work out because my recently membership didn't cover this location, they can provably offer me a day pass? yes... but they didn't, very very very mean Latin Guy at the front desk.. and is not easy to get someone at the phone to fix it …. Bad administration, I taking down my short membership. thanks!

Ed: Onelife has nice gyms. However, the gym hours are terrible because they close so early. 10 pm on a weekday? Thats terrible and the weekend is even worse as they close at 7 on Saturday and 6 on Sunday. The price of the membership is not worth it and the customer service could be much better.

Eric C: Excellent facilities and fantastic, engaging staff. Surprisingly larger on the inside than you would think. Plenty of room to get a good workout in even at 5 pm on a Friday afternoon!

Uuganbayar Dashdondog: Too expensive. Literally no point in paying the more expensive plan b/c everyone just uses same amenities. This facility lacks pool and courts. The equipment are dated and basic. Only bright spot is the wellness studio.

Julia Neumann: Best gym to find best trainers! There is a lot of space so it's never super crowded. The group workouts are fun and not overrun!

Kelly Bauer: I've been going to this gym for nearly a year and joined this gym because of all the classes offered. The last THREE times I have been to this gym to attend a class I signed up for on the app I have had to turn around and leave because there is no space in the studio for me to attend. It's super frustrating and a waste of money to have a gym membership when you can't use the services they offer.

D M: Coming from the Reston Onelife (which I would give a 5 star review on), my experience has been mixed but overall negative: Pro's: - very nice location - great views from the cardio room - staff are mostly friendly (or at least no worse than neutral) - Locker rooms are spacious and clean - Large calisthenics area - 5-6 power lifting stations with bumper plates and you're allowed to drop. Con's: - Organization. I put 80% of this on the members but the plates are never organized - you'll often find a 25 lb plate in front of a 5 lb plate in front of a 45 lb plate. Again, I put this mostly on the members but it would be nice if there were more notices telling members it's proper etiquette to put the plates back in the right spots along with periodic organization by the staff. There's also a limited number of plates. I've often had to walk across the gym to find a set of 5 lb or 10 lb plates. Posted picture shows disorganized weights around 5 am, right after the gym opens. - Overcrowding. If you go between 5 and 7 pm on a weekday, good luck using any of the equipment. Before 7 am and probably after 7 pm are really the only useable times of day. Not a huge issue for me being an early bird but I'd still like to have more flexibility. - Consistent operating hours. There's been a few occasions now where the gym doesn't open until 5 or more minutes past the operating hours. As I right this review, it's 725 am on a Saturday and no one is even inside the building. - Parking. I typically go right at 5 am when the gym opens. I can usually find street parking (free before 8 am and on weekends) but if I go later in the day or if there's no street parking it's $1, even if it's less than an hour. Not a huge deal but if you're going later in the day and plan to get there by car, you're effectively adding $15 a month to the membership assuming you go every other day. - Equipment. There's a wide variety of machines but some equipment is noticeably absent. For example, the Hammerstrength machines aren't a full set. It's understandable though with the limited space they have to work with

Jesse Bacon: I was in town three days for a conference and needed a gym to workout in… when we asked about daily passes the staff was super friendly and helpful in allowing me and a colleague to utilize the facility… I was able to complete all of my CrossFit workouts for the three days I was there. The facility was spacious and had everything we needed. Would totally recommend to anyone in the area looking for a gym home or those passing though on business. I’ll visit again whenever I’m in the area.

Michael: It's a great gym, I really don't get why the rating isn't higher. Perhaps the former management can be blamed. Juayla could not have been more welcoming. I can recommend this gym 100% Not too busy It's clean Good variety of equipment Big lockers (gotta bring your own lock) A nice, respectful crowed

J Heather: Very friendly front desk staff and cleaning staff. Location is well maintained (cleanliness and equipment). The location can get crowded especially during rush hours (around lunch and at the end of the day). The other WSC nearby shutdown so their members automatically transferred to this location. Bathroom/lockers may be spotty at times but it depends on the time of the day. They offer membership discounts if you sign up in person (just a warning regarding the annual fee- they cannot waive it).

Linnies World: I give this gym -10/10. A facility were the staff don't care about your safety is not a place to be. Not to mention taking people hard earned money when they were protecting themselves. Let not mention the unprofessional person on the other end of the phone. This makes no sense honestly they guy needs to be fired.

Whittney Dents: A club member was being followed and recorded the interaction to protect himself. Instead of the manager being understanding, he abruptly canceled the members membership and would not give them a refund. In a society where you truly don’t know the intentions of people, recording yourself for protection should not be punished. Shame on this establishment and the manager.

Nesi Smith: This gym feel as if it’s ok for a member to be stalked and you terminate them because they’re recording for their safety!!! As a former law enforcement officer I felt the need to record was justifiable and due to the fact that he didn’t report it shouldn’t matter. You have all types of weirdos working out so the need to report is slim to none unless that person actually starts following and stalking you to point where every move you make they make!!!! Refund should have been given as well as an apology.

Micha-Re Newton: This gym disregards the safety of its members and instead punishes them for taking precautions of their own safety. A recent member had just posted an interaction on social media of how he was followed by a man throughout his entire visit. The man would move to every corner that the member did. Even down to preforming intimidating acts by setting his belongings directly next to the member. WSC then decided that they would suspend the members membership for “recording and posting. & should have taken it to management” yet no actions have been taking on the predatory behavior of the man that was recorded. I can’t imagine how they would treat a woman in this same situation if this is how they treated a gentleman.

Carmen King: Unprofessional. Member felt unsafe and recorded the man following him. The stalker told the manager & the manager canceled the victims membership and refused to give a refund. Didn't ask the victim his side or anything. Not good business & you should feel safe in your gym. 0/10

Tiana Stewart: This club does not care about the safety and well-being of their customers. Your membership will be terminated if you vent about the gym on social media with no refund of your monthly payment. This gym is not safe If you are attending alone. If you do go to this gym, please go with another person so that you were not followed around the gym.

Danielle Eickhoff: I joined Vida Fitness in Ballston about 7 months ago and have been happy with my experience so far. The gym is the cleanest in Arlington, and they have an exceptional COVID policy. The equipment is high quality, and their locker rooms and showers are spacious. They also have a sauna and group classes, but I haven't tried those experiences yet. So far I've experienced mostly kindness and respect from the other members, and the staff are attentive. Even at peak times the gym isn't overly crowded like other gyms in Ballston where you have to wait an exceptionally long time to use the weights or equiptment. I also recommend Aura Spa which is attached to the gym - both for facials and massages.

Quarib Chowdhury: The best gym in Arlington! You really get what you pay for. Super clean environment, from the front door to the lockers to exercise area, everything. As someone with pre-existing medical conditions, I loved the vaccine card check when I went in for my tour. Staff is professional and friendly. Meredith provided a great tour and I signed up on the spot. You can tell by my fellow gym members, everyone is serious about their workouts and getting it done. Very inspiring. World class equipment - Eleiko bars and plates. Apparently they’re adding more platforms. Let’s go! There’s plenty of cardio equipment as well. I need to try out the classes on my off weeks. It has a fun vibe and also a solid serious gym to focus on our workouts. Highly recommend.

Alisha Sheth: If I could give this place zero stars, I would. An extremely ill-informed and disrespectful staff, I would urge everyone to look into an entirely different gym where the people actually treat you with respect and want to help you. As a prospective member, I was told numerous things incorrectly regarding their memberships and treated poorly by their front desk for a lack of them not knowing how to do their job. Devon, the front desk guy was extremely disrespectful and rude to me. Sarah, the manager of their membership services also has a lack of understanding of what is currently being offered in the gym for memberships. An extremely disappointing experience nonetheless. Not worth your time or money!

Angella Daluz: Very nice facility, started to go here because I wanted to get excited about going to the gym. Sweatbox is really intense! Overall I have been loving the experience so far, just very expensive and they do not allow the same guest to come back after the first visit.

Steve E.: Very clean, full service gym including top of the line equipment, knowledgeable staff and personal trainers, a spa, smoothie bar, and multiple locations some of which feature rooftop pool access (with the right membership). The locker rooms are well appointed and the showers include shampoo and body wash with towel service at no additional cost. Most gym showers become nasty after a year or so after opening, but VIDA maintains a high standard that sets it apart from other area gyms.

Katarina Mijic-Barisic: I did not physically go to this gym so I cannot speak for their facility, but when I was shopping around for one, I contacted this VIDA. They were very unwilling to share transparency with pricing and asked me several times to discuss pricing when I arrived at the gym for a tour, despite me explaining to them that I do not have time to do a tour. It was a very salesy vibe which is never appreciated.

Lydia Rossi: Signed up with Vida in Balston and it is truly amazing. I've been working out for over 25 years, it is super clean, all new equipment with a layout that makes it easy to access each area, and windows on three sides with a great view. Worked out with Nick, a personal trainer and got a good feel for the equipment and suggestions for a routine on my own. Membership sign up was easy, no pressure, it took less than 20 minutes. Can't beat the location. Highly recommend this club!

David T: Fantastic gym! I’ve been going for several months & I’ve been very happy.They’ve done a great job modifying things to be Covid Safe - plenty of space between equipment, cleaned constantly & ample disinfecting supplies located throughout the gym. Everyone adheres to the mask policy & is good about cleaning equipment when done. Great selection of high quality equipment, definitely worth the higher price compared to other gyms in the Ballston area.

John Saaty: This is the best workout facility in all of Arlington! Jonas Price is #1 PT and Jimmy runs a great cycling class!
