I've been a member of this gym since the day it opened, & I continue to be very pleased with it…read more One of the biggest pluses is that it's HUGE. The building is a repurposed elementary school. So it has charm as well as enough space that I never feel cramped. I also appreciate that staff members go out of their way to make sure I have a positive experience. They are courteous as well as professional & personable--always ready to talk baseball with me when I want! Finally, I want to mention that the owners/managers are constantly updating both the facility & the equipment.

First, the good. I've been a member for about a month now, and there is a lot to like about the…read morefacilities. Everything is what you would expect for the price point of the gym, and free parking was an important part of my decision since I drive in from east of the river (we only have planet fitness over there, sadly). The complementary training session is good, I know it's meant to sell personal fitness sessions, but if that is something you are into, it might be worth it. Now the gross/ugly: There is a stated policy that "regular swimwear is required" to use the spa in the locker room. Some women have decided not to follow this policy and get in naked, without showering off first, no less. When I said something to the staff, she rudely told me that it was DC law that they couldn't enforce that, told me I could follow her upstairs to talk to a manager while I was standing on only a towel after showering off from the hot tub. And of course, she lied. The law says the opposite, I looked it up -- D.C. Code § 7-431 expressly defines a "spa pool" as a structure intended for bathing or recreational use whose water is not ordinarily drained and replaced after each use and may instead be recirculated. The same statute defines people using a swimming or spa pool as "bathers." More importantly, the District's Aquatic Facilities Regulations, 25-C DCMR § 202.1, specifically provide that rules for admission to spa pools and saunas "shall be enforced." The regulations also require bathers to shower before entering a spa pool or sauna. The regulations further address contamination directly. Under 25-C DCMR § 201.4, aquatic-facility personnel are required to restrict the introduction of "dirt, excreta, and other extraneous matter" into the water and to exclude people showing apparent signs of infection such as open cuts, wounds, rashes, or blisters. The same section specifically requires protective clothing for incontinent bathers. When I brought this to the attention of the membership manager (on duty) she just gave me the GM's card and corporate's email. I have contacted them and cited all DC laws which require them to enforce their stated policies. I know it's uncomfortable to ask people to follow rules, especially when they are naked, but by not enforcing their own rules (or enforcing them selectively, like insisting that nobody have a cell phone in the spa), they risk a decline in the quality and cleanliness of the gym, which is why people pay extra -- for a classy environment that is comfortable for everyone. So I give a huge thumbs up to the classes and the facilities, but unfortunately several of the attendants (all female, sadly, and I'm a girls girl) are at best unfriendly and often rude, and they selectively enforce their own health and safety policies to the detriment of the members.

Though the equipment is not brand-new (don't expect a personal tv on your treadmill) and the space is limited (only 4 treadmills, 2 ellpiticals, and 2 bikes) Waterside Fitness is a neighborhood gym where the staff will recognize you and you'll get to know others who attend as well. The gym has a few classes including aerobics, yoga, and strength and there's no extra fee to attend if you're a member. All in all, it's just what I need on a daily basis. But if you're looking for a cutting edge place like WSC where there are rows and rows of equipment and a full schedule of back-to-back classes, you'll be disappointed. The membership fees are around $50/month and they'll give you a guest pass for a day to check it out before you join.

They also have two locker rooms near the indoor pool (which is not insulated) and I'm the main gym area. Towel service is included with your membership! I actually like that it is a regular, basic gym and not high tech and fancy. Two minor issues is the showers by the indoor pool take a bit to warm up, if at all...and some do not have shower curtains. The second issue, again with the same locker room is it's hard to find a working one. Initial fee pp is $75 and we got the family membership for $120/month. For the holidays they are offering 50% off your initial fee if you bring in 5 canned items!

I would not recommend Equinox Anthem Row/K Street based on my experience. As a Black man and…read morelongtime Equinox member, I left this location feeling racially profiled, humiliated, and completely dismissed by management. After already being inside the gym for hours, I stepped outside to take work calls and had difficulty being allowed back in. I asked the front desk employee to simply look up my membership profile and photo, but he refused. When I asked for a manager, the assistant manager immediately defended the employee without genuinely listening to my concerns or attempting to resolve the situation. Instead of being treated like a paying member with a legitimate concern, I felt singled out and publicly embarrassed. The situation somehow escalated into my membership being terminated companywide, despite me never threatening anyone or using profanity. For a company that markets itself as a luxury experience, the treatment I received was anything but professional. My concerns about racial profiling were dismissed rather than taken seriously. I expected much better from Equinox.

I remember once time she informed me that I had a sprained ankle. Mind you I had went to urgent care a few days before and they couldn't tell me what was wrong with my ankle. Smh... and I never even shared this info with Tina so for her to explain to me how my ankle was inflamed and I should be careful running before I injure it more, I was impressed. She also puts me to sleep with her massages. :::)))) best naps ever! Can't wait to come again!!!! Happy Yelping!

We initially had a reservation in the Presidential Dining room, but it was closed that day, so we ended up visiting the grill. We were greeted by a very nice woman who gave us our guest pass, and layer checked in on us to make sure everything was great. Then the service at the Capitol Hill Club was amazing! The night we went, they were having a happy hour with a free appetizer buffet and discounted beer and cocktails. We really liked this, and I recommend the Pina Colada. Another cool thing was that they had a basket of popcorn on every table. I don't know if they do this every night or if this was part of the happy hour, but I love popcorn, so I was thrilled. After the drinks and appetizer buffet, I was really full, so I ordered the guacamole and chips for dinner. It was a really great night, and the club was not crowded.
