The bathrooms and locker rooms are well-designed and clean, and the co-ed sauna and steam room are a major plus. The filtered water stations are always cold and well-maintained, and the smoothie bar is convenient. The reception staff are always friendly! SweatBox is intense, well-structured, and thoughtfully run. The music and variety keep me coming back. Providing ear plugs and cold eucalyptus towels are the many small touches that go a long way during this high-energy HIIT workout. Coach Gwen and Coach Mike are excellent instructors -- clear, motivating, and attentive to form. There are 3 other class studios and dozens of more fitness classes. I have enjoyed the yoga classes, especially Restorative and Deep Stretch. Chris also runs a great BodyPump class -- strong pacing and consistent energy. Overall, VIDA Ballston combines diverse programming with quality facilities and good service. Yes things break or require maintenance, but the team is constantly communicating this and working to upkeep their facility. Highly recommend!

Received a terrible sports massage today from Nova Therapeutic ~ Courthouse. I put in my intake…read moreform that I am an athlete & have a race coming up in four days. I asked for and booked a sports massage & firm pressure. I did not put down my specific areas in intake form b/c I feel as though ppl don't read them. I prefer telling the massage therapist what is going on. I did. The therapist came in, did not introduce herself. Nothing. I said; "my hips are tight, I believe it's my psoas and lower back and glutes". "Can you spend time on my right hip" She kept massaging my back. okay, I thought.. she will work her way to my leg. NOPE. I asked again. Can you please massage my legs, esp my lower back and hip. She rubbed my neck. I repeated my self... my legs. She rubbed my head. After the fourth time, I gave up. So pissed off. Massage therapist did not speak English so did not know what I was even saying. I found this language barrier issue out when I told the front desk and manager that I was upset b/c she did NOT give me a sports massage. Manager responded. Can you stay and we can work your legs now. I said; NO. I have to go and I don't have time to get undressed again. So annoyed. They gave me a gift cert. Why would I go back to a place that provided crappy service to begin with. Worst massage place I have ever been to. As an athlete that has been to a number of massage establishments ~ waste of time & money. Do not recommend if looking for good sports massage.

Got a half hour massage and facial from Maggie. But I didn't know her name until I was finished…read moreand came out to pay and asked the receptionist, cuz Maggie only said about 4 words to me during the hour. She never asked about pressure. She never asked what I wanted. It was bizarre. The massage felt very "phoned in" and not at all specific to my muscles or needs. A large part of it was just general "rubbing" through the sheet. When she finally got the oil out, even when I could feel her hit a ropey muscle (and she could obviously feel it too) she just skipped it and kept the general rubbing. The scrub and facial were better, but oddly she left the room twice without telling me. I thought I heard the door, which was strange, and finally after about a minute I looked up to find myself alone in the room. Never had that before in a massage or other service. When a person came back and started up again I had no idea if it was her or someone else. And she asked NOTHING about my skin - dry, oily, sensitivities... She didn't know I had contacts in (I wondered if I should tell her, but it was so oddly quiet...). She did know my age (wouldn't she need to know that to know what types of things to use??). But now that I think back on it I realize: they use the same products on everyone I bet. One scrub. One oil. One cream. One lotion. One lip treatment... Nothing at all personalized. My partner got an hour massage and sadly, felt the same. His therapist also never introduced herself. In fact, she never said a word. For both of us, it was clear the therapists had not read our intake forms. The whole place is very "factory-like". While I waiting for my partner to finish, the receptionist assigned a therapist to a massage by saying, "Room one - new client". No name. No details. No info. Not a great experience. Not worth the price. My partner just came up with a great description of the experience - it is like a CAR WASH where you roll up, put your car on the tracks, and roll through. Every car treated the same, rinsed and scrubbed. The car wash of massages.

When I moved to Arlington I wanted to scope out all of the gyms in the area, which the city isn't…read moreshort on gyms. I ended up choosing Gold's Gym because of price and the fact it has a sauna. Though it sucks that unlike Planet Fitness, Gold's Gym isn't 24hrs. Which is a shame because this place is almost always crowded unless you go before the crack of dawn, which is what I decided to do. I would go in sooner but they don't open until 5am on the weekdays and I have work at 6:30am. I feel that there's an appetite personally to have this gym open 24hrs personally. I do like that there's free parking and compared to the Gold's Gym in Claredon, this location is leagues better. There is also a sauna which is great and there's 3 main floors that offer different options to do your workout. Towels are available but you need to ask front desk for one which feels like a pain. I feel they could just leave the towels somewhere in the locker room but they don't but that seems like an easy fix especially considering that there's a bin for the dirty towels to go.

Alexandria, VA - my third time floating and I finally decided to try a float pod. Previously I had…read moreexperienced the more open float cabin. Sort of like stepping into an extra, extra big shower stall but with a float tub instead of a shower. I wondered if the pod would be claustrophobic when I shut the lid but not so. Firstly, I could sit up if I wanted without banging my head on the lid. Secondly, the lid has a pretty lighted star pattern. So when I laid back and relaxed into the just the right temperature water, it felt like I was looking out onto a big window of stars. And then I closed my eyes and had the very most relaxing hour. If one wants complete darkness theres a button for the starlight too. I will definitely return in the future.

And if Jodie Foster comes here, it's Fly Fly Fly Fly Fly Little YMCA Starlington. So there you have it. I have a little love affair with this YMCA because even though the Reston one is bigger and fancier, it's also about 74 times busier than this one, and that makes this one much more relaxing to use. This YMCA is on a little back street and has its own parking which is rarely full, and is right in the heart of the Washington DC Metro Area - close to several Metro stops, actually, and within walking distance - rather than the Reston one which is way way out near Dulles Airport. I also love this location because it usually is really quiet so even though it's not my favourite and it is partially underground and a little stuffy, it is also very friendly and family oriented and everybody knows everybody, and it's one of the nicest little community gyms I've used. They just about have all of things I need although some of them are falling apart. What they don't have in equipment they make up for in character. There are some great people here both in terms of the employees and be patrons. They have the bikes I like, as well. Only 3 of them, and it's stuffy using them, but it's enough. Oh, and the fact that I was never grilled about whether I was a member, and they never called my home location, is a "big plus", like the flag of Switzerland.
