Also, I am not sure why the reviews are so low for this gym. This gym itself is modern, clean, and well-equipped with state-of-the-art cardio machines, weight lifting machines and equipment galore!.....not to mention, there are dedicated strength training areas (like squat racks and weight machines), specialized sections for CrossFit training, cardio workouts and surprisingly a hydro-massage room. For the price that I scored during their membership drive, I think it's a great deal for the price...$11.99/mo. (bi-weekly). In addition to the state of the art equipment and workout gear in this facility, the staff are very welcoming and as a new member answered a lot of questions that I have about the gym and use. The front desk manager (sorry I forgot his name --Latino guy with glasses) was very helpful in addressing an account issue (to my fault) on the spot and even getting me a refund processed due to my error during my first visit to this location. So I must say, between the customer service and great equipment.....This gym exceeds all my expectations for the price. And believe me, I've had memberships across many gyms in the DMV area and other US state lines to know the difference. I've even taught classes at a number of gyms around the DMV area to know the inner workings and operations as well, and I must say that this gym seems to be very efficient. Yes, there's no pool, there's no smoothie bar, and there might not be an onsite spa/massage center included..... but that's not what you come here for. You come here for a good workout at a gym that is spacious, has adequate equipment, and even fitness classes to break up the monotony between your workout routines. That's more than enough to better your health and meet your goals. In all, you can't go wrong with a membership at this gym. So far, I had a good workout and a big check mark from me is that this gym is not as crowded as many of the other Golds gyms around the city.... Especially during peak hours! So get off your butt and give this gym a try! I think you will like it.

A few months after becoming a member, I tried spinning classes, which were fun and challenging. I…read moresoon noticed the seats, set parallel to the floor, didn't fit my anatomy. I was sliding forward uncomfortably. I brought a wrench, raised the front of (just)one seat a notch, and then it didn't feel as if I were struggling to stay on. I chose the narrowest, least padded style, similar to a racing bike saddle. The owner told me I was the only one who preferred that kind. There used to be a 'needs fixing' sheet for members to list equipment problems. Some had written complaints that the bike seats were 'tipped.' So, the staff flattened all the seats. I went to Lee, the manager, and asked politely if I could have one seat (just one seat!) adjusted to my comfort. I was met with an expression of surprise and mild annoyance. Denied. The classes were never full so nobody would've been forced to use a 'tipped' seat. But even if all the bikes in the spinning studio had been taken, there were four more in other parts of the gym, which I never saw in use simultaneously. One seat on any of those could've been adjusted without forcing anyone to use a 'tipped' seat. And of course, the seat posts are interchangeable. So, on it went: I'd adjust a single saddle, a staff member would flatten it, and the charade would begin anew. I politely raised the issue with Ruby, the owner; she said she'd put a note on a saddle to not flatten it. A week later she reneged, implying Lee wouldn't allow it. The reasoning: If one was changed, then all could be changed and Lee wasn't willing to deal with that. Denied again. BUT, he accommodated all those who complained about 'tipped' seats. That's not fair. He could've easily worked with me and gotten to 'yes.' The seats are adjustable for a reason. The entire business is BASED on human anatomy, including its--ahem--variations. I was 'nudged' by the former manager shortly after starting my membership. Under my original 4-star rating on this page, she added a note asking me what it would take to add a fifth star. Consistent, prolonged and respectful treatment as a valued member, I would've told her. But, my reasonable requests were repeatedly ignored. A couple of the staff(K and K) seemed to view me as demanding, difficult, and treated me with veiled hostility. And then there's this: The two managers, Lee & Jen, plus Lee's wife, wrote 5-star reviews on this page. These are conflict of interest violations per Google usage rules. Owner Ruby added praise and thanks below these 'reviews.' P.S. The managers' illegitimate reviews and owner-added comments have been deleted. October 2023.

Pretty decent for the price…read more Since gym membership ranges from $10-$22 per month, one should not expect too many fancy things. For the price point, I think this location is pretty good. This two-story location has a wide variety of cardio equipment, a moderately sized weights area, and a few stretching areas. There two tiers of membership $10 per month vs $24 per month. The latter tier gives you access to other gyms in the location, tanning beds, massage chairs, and discounts for selected products. From my understanding, the yearly membership dues are around 40 bucks, and you can quit at any time. For the most part, the gym is clean; however, you may find some dust bunnies in some of the stretching areas. That said, I didn't see anything that would gross me out. I will say that about 95% of the members do a great job with wiping down the machines after using them. Also, the location does provide plenty of paper towels and sanitizing solution through the gym. Unfortunately, I wish the weight area was a bit larger, but I guess there is not much I (or the gym) can do about the size at this point. I was a bit disappointed that the gym has only Smith machines for bench presses. However, the representative pointed this out to me when she gave me a tour of the facility before I purchased my membership. I will say that this location does have PLENTY of cardio machines. Pretty much the entire lower level is full of cardio machines. Although I've only visited a couple of times, I did not see any machines or equipment that was out of order. Overall, I think this location is good for getting back into a (mostly independent) fitness routine. Before signing up, I highly recommend doing a tour just to make sure the gym has all of the things you want. Customer service-wise, I thought the representative who gave me a tour was very informative.

In most cases location management states they can't fix any facilities issues (including when they don't have enough, or the right kind, or working equipment). And when I tell them that corporate told me to address it with them they say they are limited by corporate or the franchise owner. [See my review of Gallery Pl., Chinatown location ~"we are stuck with the same machines for about 10 years or until they break, even if we ordered too many and two few" --------- This location used to be the best for for the first couple years it was open. my only complaint during the first few years of operation was frequent temperature/ HVAC outages and fluctuations. The spa area would be uncomfortablly cold most of the time while the locker room was disgustingly hot and humid. The AC would be out or barely working for long periods of time in certain sections. I know there isnt much PF could do about it, sadly they are limited due to the building which they don't own. The best part about this location is the plentitude of machines and the very large space for PF 360/ stretching and aerobic activity upstairs. After three years the cleanliness of this location really started to suffer , as well as the insanely frequent breaking of urinals in the mens locker room. The exercise areas were maintained well enough but the locker rooms and especially the showers and toilet stalls were usually really gross and neglected looking. The is something I almost never see at most locations except PG Plaza. Also in the first few years this location used to have really energetic and outgoing staff, that was so great that we would have regular conversations. But it's really gone downhill since then. Most of them tend to be/ act introverted and not friendly.

IMPORTANT UDATE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS REVIEW!!…read more Don't let the slick marketing and design fool you. These people are predatory sheisters who don't give a damn if you injure yourself and will keep billing your credit card long after your membership is cancelled. Below is a breakdown. 1) Poor injury prevention. Warm-ups are purely cursory and there is limited to no supervision during workouts, leading to frequent preventable injuries. I personally was injured twice in one year. 2) Predatory business practices. When I requested a temporary membership freeze because I was injured, I was forced to sign a draconian new contract that required me to continue paying some dues during the freeze and extended the notice window for canceling my original contract, meaning that I would have to continue paying dues even if never recovered from my injuries. 3) Ongoing credit card charges. In the eight months since I've cancelled my membership, they have continued to charge my credit card for monthly dues. My repeated emails about the problem have gone unanswered and the problem persists, even though I cancelled by membership in late 2025. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. UPDATE 6/25/26: THE STUDIO CONTINUES TO FRAUDULENTLY BILL MY CREDIT CARD AND IS NOW THREATENING TO SEND MY ACCOUNT TO COLLECTIONS. FOR BLOCKING CHARGES, ALTHOUGH I CANCELED MY MEMBERSHIP MONTHS AGO AND HAVE SENT COUNTLESS EMAILS DEMANDING THAT THEY STOP BILLING ME. UPDATE 7/26/26: OT HAS SENT MY ACCOUNT TO COLLECTIONS, ALTHOUGH I CANCELLED MY MEMBERSHIP IN NOVEMBER AND PAID ALL DUES OWED THROUGH THE END OF MY MEMBERSHIP 30 DAYS LATER.

I…read morewill say the coaches and (some) of the front desk people were cool, but the management team is a complete nightmare. I initally cancled my membership back in march due to a sentive vulnerable medical reason which i explained to the staff. The staff somehow cohersed me into freezing my membership rather than canceling it. When they gave me this option, I was very hesitant because I just didn't know if freezing would make the most sense being that I don't know what the future of my health would be, but they convinced me to freeze my account, leaving out the fact that that means I would be committing to a new month once I came back and finished the month that I had frozen. I will admit that I did not fully understand the freeze process and I missed a lot of information regarding so, there was a lot of miscommunication on both parts and when I tried to get it resolved with the management team it was a horrible conversation. As soon as I got on the phone, the "manager" had a very condescending tone and when I tried to explain why I was upset and confused she kept cutting me off and talking over me. And when I met her with the same energy, she tried to spin it like I was the problematic one. she was not listening to understand, but rather continued on with the conversation to state "facts" and read from her false notes. She gaslighted me the entire time, kept saying "you keep talking over me" as if she wasn't doing the same exact thing, invalidated my experience and feelings just to prove a "point" Breanna or Brenna whatever your name is, if you are reading this, I want you to know that you lack conflict resolution skills, you lie a lot and manipulate your words to prove your point, which tells me that you lack integrity and communication skills. I left the conversation in tears, and later had a horrible panic attack because of how traumatizing that conversation was. She almost even conned me into keeping my membership with them and "waving the fee" something that was never offered to me before . I almost fell for it, but after my panic attack, I reflected on the conversation and realized that I do not want to patronize a business that has that type of management team. It lets me know that if there is an issue, it will be poorly handled because of the type of person the manager is. if you have any sort of auto immune disease that is induced by stress like myself, then I definitely do not recommend this studio because they will send you straight into a flare just like they did with me. I lost out on $200 but I would rather let that money go to waste than to be affiliated with a management team that treats and talk to their members like trash. The management team is more concerned with making their quota than actually doing what's best for their members.

I joined this gym because it was convenient and close to home. At $41.40 per month, I expected a clean, safe, and professionally run facility. Unfortunately, I left extremely disappointed. My experience started on the wrong foot. When I signed up, I was charged about $180, which I was told included my first month's membership, application fees, a personal training session, and a meal plan. While I received gym access, I never received the training session, or meal plan I paid for. The facility itself is outdated, poorly maintained, and extremely cramped. There is only one cable machine, located in the middle of the gym, which constantly creates congestion. Several machines had torn seats repaired with duct tape, and broken equipment was often left sitting on the floor instead of being repaired or removed. I also regularly saw broken dumbbells left on the floor. Downstairs, the squat rack sits extremely close to the bench press and has no safety spotter arms. The assisted pull up and dip machine was also broken, with the assistance platform sitting on the floor instead of functioning. The atmosphere also became uncomfortable over time. Although the staff initially promoted a family oriented environment, I often felt watched rather than welcomed. Staff frequently swept or cleaned directly around me while I was working out, and whenever I needed assistance, I felt dismissed rather than helped. The music was consistently far too loud, and the locker rooms often had no paper towels. The incident that ended my membership was the most disappointing part of my experience. I brought a friend as my guest and paid for his guest pass. Before we even started working out, I was repeatedly asked whether I was personally training him. I explained multiple times that I was not a personal trainer and that we were simply friends working out together. During our workout, we were sharing the gym's only cable machine and taking turns between sets. While I waited for my turn, I gave my friend a few pointers on his form, something many workout partners naturally do. The manager later claimed I was personally training him because I wasn't actively lifting at that moment. From my perspective, that made no sense because we were simply alternating sets on the only cable machine available. Despite repeatedly explaining this, our workout was cut short after about 20 minutes, and we were asked to leave. Unfortunately, the problems continued afterward. The incident occurred on June 10, and I never returned after that day. I was not refunded for the remainder of that month's membership or for the guest pass, even though our session had been cut short. Then, despite the manager telling me my membership would be canceled, I was charged for another month. When I returned to resolve the issue, the manager was unavailable, and the front desk could not assist me or provide me with a way to contact him. Overall, I paid for services I never received, dealt with outdated and poorly maintained equipment, broken dumbbells and broken equipment left on the floor, an overcrowded layout, disappointing customer service, and unresolved billing issues. I genuinely wanted to like this gym because of its location, but my experience was consistently disappointing from beginning to end. Everyone's experience may be different, but based on mine, I cannot recommend this gym. For the price they charge, I expected professionalism, proper maintenance, good communication, and fair treatment. Unfortunately, that was not my experience.
