Very clean locker rooms/bathrooms, well maintained and regularly cleaned equipment and a very nice little patio outdoor area. You can't beat the staff or this location right by Cleveland Park Metro.

Following up: I want to commend OneLife Tenleytown management for making substantial progress…read moretowards addressing many requests/complaints from the Crunch members (including me) who joined last month at the close of the Crunch Friendship Heights gym. Management reached out to me personally after my review and took time to we meet and discuss the issues noted. That week OneLife had already announced & added several classes requested by Crunch alumni, retrofitting them into time-slots that helped reduce overcrowding in the original schedule. The two weeks following, even more classes were added. OneLife also brought over some of the former Crunch instructors which helped several of us with the transition. Fair to say that we're still adapting and hoping that there's more to come, but I wanted to make a call out to the management for coming through on these additions!

First of all, there's always piss in the men's sauna, sitting in a stinky yellow puddle in the…read moredrain. I think an old man pisses himself in there every day, and the gym does nothing about it except clean it once a week. They should have a sign that says 'if you're incontinent, don't use the damn sauna!' And last, they don't tell you that you're signing a twelve month lease with them upon sign up, and that ending your subscription results in a 353 dollar charge that they pull out of your account with no warning. They didn't even send me an email. They pulled almost four hundred dollars out of my account without talking to me. I worked out my entire life, and Onelife fitness has unequivocally done more damage to my motivation than any gym I've ever stepped foot into since elementary school. P.S. Brittany is a snake slithering in the grass, and she will do anything to eek more money out of your account. BEWARE OF BRITTANY

I've been to other gyms and am tired of the same old "crap shoot" when it comes to your trainer and their knowledge. It is a studio and not an old warehouse - it's more personal and private, though it still has all the amenities you need to shower and secure your personal items. All the equipment (weights and cardio) are NEW, top of the line, clean and work!! I've been to too many gyms where that is NOT the case...I'm sure we all have! If you are serious about your training, your results and are tired of meat market gyms, this is the place to get serious. In the end, you have to want it and going to the same gym day in and day out can get challenging - which brings me to my final point about Tidal EPC - the owner and staff are so much fun to be around...lets face it, good conversation is not required...nor is laughter - but what a difference it makes!

Ok: the functional fitness area is a lot smaller than expected. It felt like the emphasis was on group fitness. The recovery options were limited to theraguns, sauna foam rollers when I visited. Disappointing: for the monthly fee, I'd expect a pool. I don't think any of the Equinox locations in the DMV are particularly stellar in comparison to other cities.

I've heard the NY ones are even better, so I'm excited to check them out the next time I visit New York! The Wisconsin one is the best one in the DMV area, in my opinion. It is brand new (about 6 months old) and offers free 2 hour validated garage parking. The DMV membership gym gives you access to multiple equinox gym, including the ones I go to: Tyson's corner (free all day parking), Wisconsin Ave (2 hour free parking), and Bethesda (paid parking). Benefits of Wisconsin Ave: - Brand New - Next to Wegmans (can grab a snack) and King Street Oyster (happy hour) - Free 2 hour parking - Large range of classes and timeframes - Great bench spot for people who WFH - Steam Room Downsides: - No pool - More limited personal trainers tiers (they're still hiring) - Only 2 hour parking (about one class + a shower could fit in this timeframe). - Traffic into DC can take awhile Why I decided to join Equinox in general: - Fantastic bathrooms - cleaned 3x/day with Kiehls products (some of the best skincare/hair stuff) - Provides measurements and fat-muscle ratios - Has Eucalyptus infused towels - Luxury aesthetic and feeling - Overall lifestyle Equinox is truly a lifestyle, not just a gym. You're surrounded by likeminded people!

I'm actually paying for a separate Nutritionist who I visit about every month. I started here about two months ago, and I've been much more committed this time around. It's even more motivational that the gym.is located literally across the street from my apartment. It's a decent gym and they have almost everything that I need, minus the abs machine. I do have the Gold membership and I think that it's a good fit for me since I rarely have ever participated in any type of gym class. They do offered the classes here, and I've seen a number of people leaving from a class. I appreciate that the gym is available for whenever I need it, and even more importantly that they're located so close to me.

Fit360 is a great model of a community gym -- the staff is friendly, the owner is a local, and fellow gym goers are courteous. I am someone who benefits from classes to help me push myself and I especially love their lift classes, which are typically small (under 10 people) and mixed gender, with varying levels for each station based on your fitness and expertise. Jonathan and Nino both do a great job as instructors helping with form and technique. This year I also added in some personal training with Kwame and it has been fantastic so far. So glad this gym is part of my community.

I really like the instructors who…read moreprovide hands-on corrections unless you prefer not to receive them, who will challenge you and motivate you. I've been complementing my gym workouts with solidcore and has been great for core strengthening but there are daily muscle focuses that are tough too. Membership isn't cheap but I've found having a not-so-committed membership (4x per month) in addition to classpass (for flexibility of either doing solidcore or something else) is a good pace for me. Edit: after reading some reviews, I wanted to say in the classes I've been to, there have been heightened attention from instructors to ensure people have correct form. If you don't, you may get injured. That's with any sport or workout. Also, if you're new, look around to see if you're doing it wrong. Hell, 50+ classes in and I still look around sometimes. Lastly, nearly all the exercises are slow movements. Unless the instructor explicitly says to go fast on army crawls or up downs, you aren't trying to break the record for most reps. Some classes, I've seen people breeze through. First, you're likely not getting a workout and second, you're increasing risk of injury.

I've been coming to Solidcore consistently for the past 7 months, and it's hands down the most…read moreeffective workout I've ever done. I've always been active and played sports growing up, but I struggled to find something that kept me motivated as an adult. Solidcore changed that. With no major lifestyle changes (I work a desk job, eat decently, commute mostly on foot/via transit and still drink most weeks), I've seen a huge transformation in my body. I am probably the most fit I have ever been. The coaches are great - Sam is the best, but you can't go wrong taking a class with Alethea, Sofia or Mary Kate. The vibe is always supportive but challenging, and I actually look forward to going. I also really appreciate how receptive the team is to feedback. On the rare occasion something's come up, they've been quick to address it and super responsive. No substantive complaints about the studio itself - especially considering it's one of Solidcore's lower membership tier locations. It's technically in NW DC, but it's billed at the Maryland tier, which makes it a way better deal than the other DC studios with more expensive memberships. The only thing I'll note is that this location doesn't have a live phone line, which can make it tough to get ahold of someone quickly if something comes up. Not enough to deduct a star, but I do wish they'd fix that. If I had one suggestion for the company overall, it would be to remove cancellation fees and shorten the cancellation window. Life happens, and a little more flexibility would go a long way for members. In short; If you're looking for a fun workout that will push you and actually deliver results, this is it. I even brought my 55+ year-old dad to a class and he loved it. Highly recommend.

I especially enjoy the cleanliness of the showers and restroom areas. The heart monitor is another great addition to the gym, it gives me a clear idea on if I should increase or decrease my exercise intensity. The app is also very good. It makes keeping track of stats and workouts easy, and syncs my the Apple Watch. The staff and studio manager here are all friendly, informative, and helpful. Every staff member at the Orangetheory Tenleytown are excellent but Arbyana stands out to me the most. Her attention to the customers and vibrant energy really makes the difference between this and any other Orange Theory. Her positivity is definitely a reason why myself and probably many other members keep coming back to this location to workout and feel good about our exercise progress. I attend most classes with Coach Julie. She is a former Olympian, great motivator, and wonderful at showing examples of the workouts. I like attending Coach Aitana's classes as well. She is a great motivator and cares about members doing the workout correctly. She puts in extra effort during themed workout classes and her costumes make the class fun and enjoyable. The new coaches Oscar, Jonathan, and Mia were great additions to the gym this year too. They followed Julie and Aitana's workout methods in making the members of the gym feel like they're not left out of the workout. The workout community at this location are also very inviting and open. I can see myself continuing to enjoy coming to this gym for years to come. I enjoy coming to this location so much, I barely notice the passing of time during each session. Thank you.

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!
