Master Nago (Center and Regional Manager) is fantastic and has decades of experience. The benefit to your body, mind and internal self is critical to your "total" health and well being. This is the place to be folks. Body & Brain is so much "more" than just a yoga stretching or a Tai Chi/Qi Gong/DahnMuDo martial Art training. As a mere humble student/member, I can say this is a place of healing and energy. It helps, strengthens, heals, builds, teaches and so much more. Highly recommend you stop in and talk to the Center Manager to see how this amazing journey will benefit you. You will probably see me in my usual spot in the back of the room participating and learning. Welcome all!

I booked a prenatal massage with Ginger, and it was very relaxing! The massage started with choosing an essential oil, that was placed under the headrest. Ginger checked in with me during the massage regarding the pressure and provided information on why and what she was doing. I recommend booking a prenatal massage here for a relaxing experience!

I feel like she's the only masseuse that takes on prenatal, but despite her busy schedule, she's always been attentive to my needs and takes the time to find out which areas I want to have worked. The location itself is somewhat hard to locate as its in a suite in a cluster of buildings that look virtually identical to each other. Parking is no problem. Scheduling online is easy and expect to pay after your massage. My only complaint is the lack of more sound proof rooms. There was some group of kids outside the window during my second visit and they were ridiculously loud making the environment less relaxing as I could hear them for about half of my appointment. Now that I am not specifically searching for a prenatal massage, I'll have to return for a regular massage to compare.

Background: 4 years, 15 to 20 hours a week in a CrossFit box…read more I did a session with the Olympic weightlifting crew while visiting Washington D.C. First and foremost, I loved the atmosphere; it feels of CrossFit at its roots. There's a large open matted area. With only a single garage door to the outside world, the air is warm and vibrant. Speed ropes, mobility equipment, lifting platforms, rings, etc. are all as expected. I greatly enjoyed the coaches and supportive athletes. Tom was focused, constantly providing constructive and tactful feedback to his team. Even when people weren't lifting, they wouldn't just wander off on their phones. Rather, when it wasn't your turn to lift, it was your turn to motivate. I wasn't there long enough to get a sense of how competitive this box is. At the very least, there's plenty of open gym time.

The box is tucked away at the very end of an industrial park in Springfield, right off Braddock road, there is ample parking on both sides of the building, and it comes equipped with everything you would expect of a Crossfit box, plus they have all sorts of fun Strongman stuff. In addition to Crossfit and Strongman, they also offer Olympic Lifting classes, Yoga, personal training, and complete the spectrum with additional nutrition classes. The owners, Erin and Sarah, really make an effort to get to know each new person and push you to perform each movement to the best of your ability. I love their programming, their desire to see you succeed and their ability to foster such a warm and welcoming environment to everyone-regardless of fitness level. I also love the emphasis on team building with blog entries, Facebook groups and weekly emails letting you know what's coming up. Trust me, if you are thinking to trying NOVA S&C you really should! Chances are, you will not regret it... I know I don't.

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.
