I signed up for the one week trial and had a great time! I was only able to attend four classes,…read morebut enjoyed each one. The instructors were really helpful and gave me some modification options. It would probably help to have some background knowledge of common lifts, but the instructors show the movements and they play on video screens if you need it. Everyone attending was generally in their own zone, so there isn't a lot of chatting because you really focus on getting the exercises done in the set times. I will say that the classes go by super quickly because you're always moving. Cons: The programming is set for the whole month. So each day of the week has its set program and you do that each week for the whole month. For me, this would get old (I really need variety). On the plus side, it does mean you get to see active gains throughout the month. The membership plan is a little pricey. I get why it costs so much, since they do have to cover rent and you only really attend during the class sessions. It isn't a type of gym where you just drop in when you want to use certain equipment. The unlimited monthly membership is $299, but in reality you are getting 30 or 31 classes depending on the month. Since the classes are the same all day, it is unlikely you would do two classes in a day, right? So the pricing is about $10/class if you do the unlimited monthly pass and you go every day. Some of the equipment was pretty smelly. I was at one station that honestly made me gag a little... I think the bench or maybe the dumbells had never been thoroughly cleaned with a bleach solution.

Classes that always have a different workout to keep you on your toes. Fun and friendly regulars to get to know in classes and social events the gym puts on. I actually just moved, and one of the hardest parts was leaving this place! I'll be coming back from time to time. I also just completed a Nutrition Challenge with the gym's nutrition coach and a team of gym/community members, and it was a great experience. Michelle is an awesome coach. She's very encouraging, available with helpful tips and answers to any questions to get you through the day, and she is also kind and doesn't let you be too hard on yourself! The challenge group has kept me accountable, and I've had great results: I'm feeling better and I've lost weight.

The team is super easy going- I know I can go to them with any questions and they will happily help me out. They are supportive and fun to spend time with. I enjoy thinking of going to workout at the end of each day, which probably is not true for your average person going to a workout class. The team does a great job of individually onboarding new clients to help them get started. They explain the workouts well at the beginning of class, as to accommodate people of all experience levels. Otherwise, the space is great and is always clean and organized. I would highly recommend anyone in the area test out the gym.

As soon as you enter, it's obvious it's a nice studio with a welcoming vibe--the class instructor checks you in, and there's free tea and animal crackers to take while you get settled in and hang up your coat. There's a free lending library in the lobby, too. They don't charge for using their mats and props which was a pleasant surprise. And the classes themselves are great! A well-rounded practice and not over-crowded with attendees. They have a wide variety of class options (yin, Hatha, kundalini, pre-natal) as well as multi-week workshops and events. They offer classes both in person and live online. For a little studio they have a lot to offer! It's not the cheapest yoga spot in DC, and there are only about 5 classes per day, but it's been a great experience so far. I'm glad I took the leap and got a membership (also because the first month is half off!)

This is my second review since attending Lighthouse back in September. The growth I have seen…read morewithin myself since attending is nothing I have ever experienced. For the last 10 years I have been studying my own psychology and using Cognitive Behavioral Therapies to overcome the narcissistic abuse from my childhood home. Although understanding my circumstances has helped me overcome a lot, the growth that I have come into since joining this studio does not compare. Over the last 3 months I have stopped coping with my pain with the use of Marijuana. Through the intentional movement, breath work, and meditation on a regular basis I am now able to see my own projections and even those of others which has allowed to engage with the relationships in my life differently, more productively. I have also stopped disassociating in intimacy something I did not realize I was doing from being a victim of sexual assault and rape. This place has taught me how to come back to my body and be present in my life without bringing my past back into my present. I cannot say enough of how eternally grateful I am for this place that has become a community of support and guidance. Thank you to all the instructors who brought light back into my life. Even my trajectory of my current career path is changing. Manju Sadarangani, Kate Judson, Jenna Tomasello, Jen Skillicorn, Ametisse Gover-Chamiou, Alicia McBride, Meredith McCullough, Colleen Brisport Sequeda, and of course Rebecca Henry only to name a few you have all taught me more about my alignment, my breathing, my mind more than you know. You are not just teachers, you are angels and gifts and I do not take you for granted. Thank you all for what you do for our community to help make this world a better place. This place is one of recovery and peace in my soul. I can honestly say, I have finally reach a place of contentment and deep connection with myself which is leading to deeper connections with others. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

The gym is conveniently located, within walking distance of my house. It has plenty of strength training and cardio equipment, which I use on a regular basis. The rest of the staff are very good, too. Personal Trainers, Phil is respectful and professional with his clients and so is Thomas, who is also a Physical therapist, and he is excellent with his older clients! I can't recommend this location enough. They have classes, sauna, pool, towel service, and grab and go sports drink fridges! I wasn't sure why this location doesn't have a higher rating so I wanted to give my personal experience. You should definitely give it a try!

between a 2.5 and 3 stars…read more I decided to check out the facility and aerobics classes today as I live nearby and they have a good deal for local residents ($150/quarter). I was sorely disappointed. First, the building from the outside looks big, spacious and bright. On the plus side: The pool looks great -25yards and wasn't that busy on a Saturday morning. The locker room was ok. plenty of lockers (they give you keys to), showers were clean. On the not so plus side: the weights/cardio room is just one room, not all that big and limited in what it has. It felt like what you'd find in a big hotel versus what you'd expect a University to have. There were maybe 4 treadmills, 2 ellipticals, a few bikes, and some loose weights. The aerobics class was ok if you are 65+ (which almost everyone there was). The instructor started 10-15mins late, then ended 5mins late thereby starting the next class late as well. The instructor lead an ok class for a senior fitness group but she needed to loose at least 50lbs and therefore her form on lunges or even squats was awful. So, if you are a senior this is a 4* gym, costs only $85/quarter! If you are younger, and have to pay more, it is more like 2* and I would not recommend.

It's 'OVER THERE' ..... there's a *SIGN*" and in a passive aggressive tone that was really unnecessary gestured toward a big sign on the door that directed people looking for Ace Hardware to go nextdoor. I said "nope, I'm actually looking to learn about Pilates," but it was such a turn off that I turned and left. I assure you, lady, I can read the sign. And your judgments about who you think and perceive to be a potential customer was very disrespectful. It says a lot about the biases and prejudices you don't mask very well. Good luck!
