Onelife gyms expanded to purchase a lot of locations of other region gyms and in doing so their styles differ a bit between gym - which may be jarring for some. But you don't have to notice if you get the cheaper membership with fewer gym choices. Classes are good and offer varied options, but you may have to hunt for which gym works for your time schedule as getting to one on time is a chore with our traffic. Including all the basics you may need and more, like child care optional extras for the families that need it. At this pace this is set to be a good gym for you for the next ten years easily.

I've been coming to this OneLife Fitness location for quite some time and have always had a good…read moreexperience... until today. I came in for my regular workout around 8:00 PM and started a warm-up on a machine in the personal training area. I understand that this area is prioritized for personal training between 6 AM and 7:30 PM, but at that time (8pm)there wasn't anyone using this specific machine. I even asked another member nearby, who confirmed he was not using it. A trainer with tag name under Michael L approached me in a very aggressive and confrontational manner. I had my headphones on and barely heard him yelling out, but before I could even respond, he walked up and pretty much forcefully pulled the machine cord and told me to leave this machine because he claimed to be using it for his trainee. What made the situation worse was that even the trainees he was working with appeared uncomfortable, and another member who witnessed the interaction told me not to mind him and kindly offered me his machine instead. This was a very disappointing experience and not the level of professionalism I expect from someone representing this gym. I hope management addresses this, as it reflects poorly on an otherwise good facility.

I love Orangetheory- escpecially this location! I've been going a couple times a week for almost 3…read moremonths now. I've lost 10 pounds, I feel good, and I actually WANT to go to the gym. The instructors here are always helpful and friendly too, which makes a huge difference. I usually go to early morning classes on weekdays but I've been to a few classes on weekends as well. The workouts change every class but the equipment and activities are similar enough to make any class doable for anybody! Typically the rotation of activities goes from treadmill exercises to the rowing machine to the floor with weights, but things change. They also give modifications for the floor, which is great if you're not super comfortable with weight exercises. I think my favorite thing so far has been the special days they offer each month and the unique challenges offered by the studio. Orangetheory did 'Hell Week' in October where members could complete 5 classes in a week and get a sweet t shirt or tank top. I typically would never work out 5 times in a week, but this was a really cool way to get people motivated to work out more! Every month they have new days like partner workouts and PR days that make coming back to the studio interesting. Overall, I'm really happy with Orangetheory Fitness and I highly recommend giving them a try!

I've been a member of UA since Feb 2016. At the time, I was on the cusp on turning 50 (OK, so you…read moreall know my age now!) and I knew it was (past) time to get serious about my health/fitness. I had done exercise programs on and off (mostly off) over the years. I knew how important exercise was but I hated it. It was either boring, or it wasn't convenient, or it was hard to stay motivated. Today, I have never felt stronger or more confident. In fact, to my huge surprise, when my job was causing serious stress, all I could think was, "I NEED a workout today." I have never said that in my life! The coaches at UA are top-notch professionals. They take their work seriously, celebrate with you, and are encouraging. I look forward to seeing the coaches -- they are energetic, friendly, supportive, and have taught me a tremendous amount. This contributes greatly to me staying motivated to keep coming back and improving. Getting a new program each month also helps stave off the typical boredom of a "regular" gym. Something else that was unexpected but great nonetheless -- there is a wide variety among UA's members (age, gender, physical shape, natural ability, etc.). I am inspired by and feel comfortable around my fellow UA-ers b/c they each face their own challenges. I highly recommend you give UA a shot. (The also have a location in Sterling, VA.)

From Jason's modifications in exercises when needed to his flexibility in modifying days when I'm unable to work on what was planned, I can't recommend Foundation Fitness enough.

I have never met a group that cares so much about the health and well being of others that they spend nearly every waking moment studying and teaching people about how to move better, faster, and stronger. The training programs they write are based on years of study and research and they individualize it to a persons needs. They first give you an assessment in which they take videos and analyze specific movement patterns to find strengths and weaknesses. They then use the information to design an intelligent, safe and highly effective program to you or your athlete the competitive edge. If you are unsure just go and talk to them yourself and you will instantly see their passion and devotion to make you and your athlete better. Don't hesitate and go and get that edge.

One was already in college and just wanted to get fit, the other was a swimmer who was getting ready for his senior year in high school. Their training was instrumental in his getting personal bests during high school swim and helped get him on a DIII college swim team and he was sad when he finally had to give up SAPT to go to college. Our daughter continued to get ready for her club volleyball season, but suffered an ACL tear an had to have full reconstruction surgery in January of 2021. She was back at SAPT only about two weeks later, with the doctor's blessing, and they worked on her upper body and healthy leg. When she was able to start PT on her knee, Hunter, her SAPT coach, was able to work with that PT so the PT worked on flexibility while SAPT worked on strength. She shocked the doctor at her check ups, as there is usually significant atrophy in the injured leg but she hardly had any. She came back stronger than ever, thanks to her trainers at SAPT, and had an amazing u17's club volleyball season and it looks like she'll be playing DI! I would highly recommend SAPT for any athlete, or anyone who just wants to get into shape!!!!

Was a member of XSport back in 2017 and eventually quit the gym a few years later when better…read moreoptions came around. Decided to try it out now that LA Fitness took over - in hopes that it was cleaned up and a better overall gym. This. Place. Is. Disgusting. I did a free trial and went in the morning. The bathrooms were gross with full sanitary containers in the stalls. Soap was empty in all but one of the dispensers. Someone left food just sitting, opened and spoiling, on the counter. Clearly whoever cleans before they lock up decided to omit the cleaning part. The gym space has so much potential but everything is insanely worn down and DIRTY. I've been to 'run down' gyms and you don't need new, fancy equipment to be clean. Also, the person that closed the night before clearly didn't care to put anything away. Looked like a toddlers play room after a candy induced episode - stuff all over the place. This place needs to shut down, revamp the entire interior, and just start over. I hate that the closest, most convenient gym makes you feel like you need a tetanus shot after a work out.

What the heck is going on?!?! Reopen the dang pools or lower the rates!! I literally joined XSport in 2023 for the pool and then never got to use it because at first it kept needing repairs, then LA Fitness took over and closed it completely. I thought it was just that location (Strawberry Ln.) so I came to this one and it was closed too! So far, the only plus at this location is all the machines are usually in service (unlike strawberry ln, which has now closed completely). There's a 35lb kettlebell with no companion. All weights should have a companion. This is an easy fix that has never been addressed. Unlike Strawberry Ln, only ONE of the front desk staff is friendly and personable. I don't know his name but he's a gentleman with locs, he always greets everyone when they come and go. I've seen 2 trainers greet as well if I wave first. The other front desk staff just sit at the desk on their phone and say Hi - that's about it. Staff overall should be more personable and welcoming. Further, the plumbing is not good. The toilets can't even flush the toilet paper on the first flush. I have to press the button at least 5-7 times. There's almost no pressure. Highly unsanitary. The ladies locker room never smells like it's been tended to no matter what time I've been there. There's no trash but is anything being wiped down? Mopped? disinfected?! It doesn't smell like it. Only person I ever see cleaning around there is the guy who vacuums the floors, because he's often doing it during the evening rush. Operationally, he should probably vacuum before or after that evening rush or someone could trip over the extension cord he uses. He'll vacuum right around your feet while you're mid-movement. He's done it to me several times when I'm at the benches doing a set. It's distracting and dangerous. Because of the Strawberry Ln gym closing, this one is even more crowded. I hope they have plans to expand if they're not going to reopen the pool. Get rid of it and add more machines or something. It's highly unfair for the pool to be advertised and that our membership was partially based on that, for it to not even be available! Lastly, the signs still say Xsport even though it's been LA Fitness for over a year. Update your information!
