One last thing - I always make sure to workout on their Open House days monthly because they give us free treats like mini, delicious cupcakes or blueberry muffins.

No matter what shape you are in, who you will be entrusting your body to is very important. I can say with full confidence that every single one of the what? three bad reviews? Of Sweatbox  should be cast aside because they are irrelevant since none of them talk about the actual sweat method and what it does to your body. Firstly, if you are worried if fat shaming/ageism exists here. The answer is a firm NO. I am older, I am overweight , and I was  welcomed with open arms, made a part of the family immediately, and that has not changed since the first class. I went to one OrangeTheory location a year or so back and was full on fat-and-age shamed and that made my self esteem spiral down into dark abyss for a very long time. Because words hurt, because I am already so vulnerable and frightened to cross the threshold of the gym, I need support, not otherwise. SweatBox is all welcoming, all inclusive type of place. Yes, they are located inside an exact copy of the Globo Gym from Dodgeball, (I got jokes) but just walk to the back of the first floor, to the Sweatbox counter, as far as I understand, gym and them are two separate entities. I purchased a 7-day, $34.00 unlimited trial pass online, came 30 minutes early for the instruction session (important to come early, instructors won't say no to you if you show up 5 minutes prior to class, but ultimately you are shorthanding yourself on the instruction part - don't you want to know as much as you can about bike set up, and components of training? And remember that instructors have other student s  to take care of prior to class) I began my training on Tuesday, September 3rd, 2019 and I made sure to come every day, dragging my self in sometimes, even if my body screamed to go get nachos instead. The instructors I've experienced during the trial week were: Alexx G Shawn M Kevin D Ashley D I loved all the instructors, Alexx is all tough love, just as described in his bio, but I love his light show and music choices. Kevin has an amazing aura and energy and makes you feel included. Then comes Ashley, wow. I don't know if she somehow hypnotizes the class, but you get in the zone, stop thinking of outside world, and all you focus on is her voice, her example poses, and her corrections, nothing else. At the end of the class, when you finally come to, you realize that you worked out for a full hour and  never looked at the clock once! Shawn is a rare soul. I have my collection of special, big hearted people, the list is short, but Shawn is on it. First of all the energy during his classes is through the roof, he is so charismatic, you WANT to do good to show him your appreciation. But my experience with him is also more personal. When I felt embarrassed, questioned myself, felt weak, cried like a baby after second class, Shawn in the gentlest of ways supported me, was there for me, helped me get past those hurdles and I cannot be more thankful. He always has words of encouragement, listens with attention, he is present. What an amazing human being. To sum up - 15 lbs. down (results will vary of course) and I signed up for an unlimited monthly. They got me good.

I signed up for a free intro class with my girlfriend who normally does these things. For my first…read morespinning experience, I liked how hard spinning pushes you. Combined with the music and the trainer giving you encouragement, spinning can be a really good cardio workout. It almost feels competitive with all the numbers and colors on the TV screens too. However, I don't understand the hype with $20-40 spin classes when I can do the same workout at the gym and push myself just as hard. I suppose it's worth it if you need that extra push, but I can't really afford $20-40 per class when i can get a membership at the gym for $30 a month. This was more of a hybrid spin/core class that utilizes TRX trainers, so there's that. And they do provide you with a heart rate monitor strap that gauges how hard you're working and calculate what intensity you should be at based on your endurance. The class itself was a 1:1 that introduced everyone to how a real class would go. We learned the basic movements on the TRX trainers and then were taught how to use the bikes. But it felt really rushed. The trainer was speaking so fast, I couldn't even really understand half of what he was saying. All in all, i got a good workout in though and I enjoyed the cold scented towel at the end.

They have plenty of cardio machines with two stairmasters, quite a bit of treadmills, and several elliptical machines. I usually always get access to a squat rack as they have five racks. They do a lot of classes here, including Pilates, yoga, cycling, HIIT, etc. I haven't been able to attend one yet but from what I have seen, they look good. The price is a little steep, but I love that this gym isn't always fully packed. It's small but mighty. My favorite touch is that they offer a minty cold wet towel for you to cool off with and have a coffee machine if you need a little boost after your workout.

Customer for years... What has happened?…read more The customer service at Living Well Health Club is abysmal. Even simple questions, like whether they have towels, are met with a dismissive "I wasn't here yesterday." The front desk staff is either absent or completely unhelpful. The management lacks basic training in simple tasks like updating my credit card. I've spoken to management more than once in the past 90+ days. I was given their email to help with communication. Not surprisingly, the disappointing customer service begins at the top. Two weeks later, I still haven't received a response. Lifeguards appear inconsistent in enforcing rules. Some are so diligent that they engage in heated arguments with guests when their children splash or require an infant flotation device, while others are too preoccupied with sunbathing and playing on their phones to care.

To say that joining Ultimate Performance about 18 months ago was one of the key moments in my life…read morewould not be an understatement. For over the last decade - I have been yo-yo'ing with different strength trainers and diets in an attempt to regain the same level of fitness that I had in my 20s. Unfortunately - over that time I have seen my weight increase by over 80 lbs. Since joining UP - I have seen the weight drop in a slow, steady and most importantly sustainability manner. UP is able to accomplish this because they have a system that combines strength training, cardio, nutrition and sleep. All of this is wrapped around an application that you use to track a variety of metrics (sleep, diet, steps, etc). This information is reviewed daily (if not more often) by your trainer - they make sure that you are on the correct path. If someone had told me when I started all of this - that in a year I would be running, doing metric century bike rides, and would almost be under 200 lbs - I would have laughed at them. If you want to change your life - come give UP a chance. You will be blown away by how supportive everyone is, how fast the results come, how sustainable this is, and how much better you will feel.

I recommend UP in general and Zach in particular. UP is different than other gyms to which I've…read morebelonged. You come in at specific times to work with your trainer doing specific lifts; the focus is on lifting rather than cardio. I wasn't sure about the approach as my primary goal was fat loss, but it has both been successful and gives a great return on investment of time. The gym itself is better equipped than any facility I have seen, and the UP app is been helpful in tracking nutrition and workouts. But I think their trainers are the key. I started working with Zach last summer, and have been very happy with the results. I've lost over 30 pounds and have never been stronger. He is a great resource regarding technique in lifting and motivation during sessions, but also makes them enjoyable. Zach developed and adapted workouts and nutrition throughout, modifying to help me continue making progress, and helped me understand nutrition (which I thought I did before, but didn't). The program at UP worked better for me than anything else ever has, which I find remarkable as I am in my 50's with a busy life including job, family, and travel.

For starters.......I will just say....GREAT GYM and HAS EVERYTHING...you need under one roof!!…read more This place has a unique, open floor plan and there's a lot of great standard gym equipment within two-levels of space. In addition, there are also loads of fitness/cardio equipment, a group fitness studio and crossfit station(s) to complete just about any of your fitness interest and goals. Most importantly.....MY PLAYGROUND/SANDBOX .....is the free weights section! This area is standard and adequate enough to meet your needs. What I like most about this gym is that, although it is off the metro line, it never seems croded. This is something that is a major problem at other Gold's Gym locations around the DMV. Workday evenings from around 5pm - 7pm at best, is the most I've seen this gym get crowded where it can be a hassle to get a good workout in or may find yourself having to wait for equipment. So, to sum it all up: THE POSITIVES * Great Customer Service - Very friendly staff and helpful. * Cool Vibe - Non-intimidating. Beginners, Novice, Bodybuilders and Advanced Fitness Enthusiast...would all fit into this utopian environment. The gym is has an open floor plan and great exercise equipment, in well thought out space. * Great Locker/Shower Space - Uber, super clean and does not wreak of $#!% for now. THE NEGATIVES * No Added Amenities - Pool, B-ball Courts, Boxing, or Racquet Ball Courts. * It is located downtown DC where parking can be a hit or miss; but on the positive side it is directly next to the Farragut North Metro. At any rate, if you read this review this far......Get your butt up off the couch and sign up for this place....you will not be disappointed.

First, yes, I saw clear results in my strength and cardio: I increased my running endurance by a mile and beat my best time, leveled up in my upper body strength enough that visibly improved my posture and defined my biceps, and I had a smaller waist that meant I could wear ALL my pants again lol. More than that, Errick's supportive coaching improved my positive self-talk, resilience, and motivation in ways that have helped me in my personal and professional life. I never used to say to myself "you can do this" out loud until now and it's allowed me to work through more ambitious goals. If you're looking for a perfect balance of cheerleader and challenger, an uncanny ability to spot incorrect form (my squats have gotten so much better), unconditional enthusiasm, and a music mix catered to your tastes, Errick is your guy. I so enjoyed working with him that I plan to restart sessions soon!
