***I would actually give it 3.5 stars***…read more Background: I work out about 6x/week and I'm a runner. I completed the 7 day free trial period with my friend and that's the basis for this review. Pros: -Great for people who enjoy working out in groups -Efficient 45 min workout -You sign up for classes via their dedicated app, then it can be added to the calendar in your phone -The raised padded floor is great for those of us with knee problems, it makes for a soft landing - they have child care -you can complete workouts from home video chat -they have women's only classes -unisex bathrooms with baby changing tables -they offer one-on-one support with nutrition (not sure how often) Cons: -Not so great for people who need more instruction because the class moves quickly -About 5-7 mins of the 45 mins is dedicated to warm-up and instructions, which makes for a short workout for some - The app doesn't tell you what the focus of the workout is going to be, so if you work out on your own you risk working on the same muscle group you already focused on by yourself -only class based workouts, no cardio machines, no time to stretch or do anything on your own -not open on Sundays -No locker room/showers Overall: This would make for a great secondary gym for someone who can't focus/doesn't have the motivation to complete HIIT workouts on their own (seeing as how there are plenty of free options online). It's a no frills, no thrills type of gym, get in, do your workout, and leave. They don't even have towels you can use. It's all about community here, so if that's what you're looking for, then this would be good for you. You must wear a face mask everywhere except while on the padded floor.

I initially got hooked as I was unfocused at the gym. The daily variety with the protocol sets up a whole week of great workouts. Complimentary child-watch for those with kiddos - allowing you can have 45 mins of time for you for your workout! Always tons of high fives and encouragement from everyone during the workout and overall such a great vibe!

I cannot speak highly enough of Elliot, Kevin, Ari and the entire staff at TFN. I joined the studio…read morea few months ago and have been impressed by several points: 1) The space: At first, I was taken aback that this is not a full gym, but rather a modestly sized studio. What it lacks in comparison to a larger gym, it makes up for both in focus (e.g, squats, bench press, deadlifts) and expertise (e.g., squat shoes, professional grade equipment). 2) The atmosphere: Upon arrival at the studio, I am reminded of the TV show "Cheers", where one is greeted with warm hello's and welcomes. Everybody knows your name. Also noteworthy - the other guests at the studio are of all ages and capabilities. I recall a moment where everyone stopped their own routines to cheer on a 60 year old woman as she hit her personal best in a deadlift. I had a cheering section as I struggled with a push-up challenge. It is a warm, inclusive and supportive environment. 3) The expertise: Kevin and the team have a methodical, evidence based approach to building strength and technique. He, along with Elliot, Erik and others, have helped me see the finer points of how to lift safely. Rather than piling on the plates, they make me earn the weight with good technique. We progressed through body weight and kettle bells, onto dumbbells and then Olympic bars, only advancing once I demonstrated proficiency with the technique. In addition, I engaged Ari to help me reflect on my nutrition goals and how to integrate my diet with my weight lifting. All of the staff are available online, which helps when I'm traveling. I would encourage anyone to visit TFN and take a few sessions. They effectively blend professionalism, expertise, and warmth; I am excited about my progress in a short period of time and hope you will experience the same.

Mike really knows his stuff and has been able to tailor programming to my needs very well. No cookie cutter programming here! I initially sought out training at TFN because I was having some pain with lifting, and Mike tweaked my technique and gave me lots of helpful cues that helped me to lift pain free so I can keep getting stronger. Highly recommend for any experience level!

Just cancelled after almost four years of working out here…read more This gym has gone downhill significantly over the last year, especially since the renovation. What used to be one of the best gyms in the area has turned into an environment that feels more concerned with appearances and social media than fitness, respect, and basic gym etiquette. Too many people that don't re-rack their weights, wipe down machines, or return equipment where it came from. There's always some ego-lifter slamming the machines or letting cables go halfway through a rep causing equipment to break. There has also been a huge increase in the amount of people in their teens and early 20s who seem to have little to no awareness of basic gym etiquette. They leave their stuff at a machine, walk away to go goof off, and then come back after 5-10 minutes and expect you to let them back on the machine like they have it reserved. And it's not just the younger guys, there are plenty of older lifters who should absolutely know better. And people are constantly filming themselves during the busiest times of the day, which slows everything down. I don't want to be in the background of a stupid video of you doing 5 sets on the same machine while you try to get the best angle. Dork. They actually hired a girl to go around the gym and do one or two reps on each machine and then post to Instagram like she works out there. It's pathetic. The gym posts rules that claim to monitor equipment and charge fines for not re-racking or wiping down, but clearly there's no enforcement. Management needs to focus less on appearances and catering to social media personalities and more on maintaining equipment, enforcing basic rules, and restoring a culture of respect. Until that happens, it's just not worth coming here when there are other options just a couple of blocks away, less expensive, with a better atmosphere. Sorry Fabi and Ken, but the people you let work out here are insufferable

My mother and I joined Bounce this year and so far we are LOVING it!! Our trainer, Colin, is…read moreincredible. I was worried because I have had many, MANY injuries in the past and my body has a lot of limits to what it can do. Colin listened and immediately had alternative exercises to do. And if I feel a discomfort with something mid-exercise he asks me where it hurts, corrects my form, and/or remodels the exercise to something I can do. I love the flexibility of having him come to our home after work. Part of our problem was when we got home we didn't WANT to go out to the gym. And so we didn't. Now we have no excuse and having Colin come just gets us super pumped up for the day. We also have Linda who is our wellness adviser. She is excellent! I've been having problems trying to remember to eat and she has me making a food diary. Yes, I could have done that on my own but it makes SUCH a difference when I have to report to somebody. She also has a super fancy scale that measures body fat percentage and all sorts of things like bone density. I can't say enough about Bounce. It is an investment, but something I can't see myself without now!

I have worked with a handful of different trainers over the past year and have found a "keeper" in the Bounce Fitness team. They are knowledgeable, reliable, encouraging, motivating... and so much more! And, you get fantastic and consistent fitness and WEIGHT LOSS results. Jon is not only professional, incredibly knowledgeable (about exercises, movement, anatomy, fitness, etc) but he also has an incredible energy and spirit that could motivate a dog to do a burpee. His workouts are intense and hardcore, yet he recognizes his client's limits and tailors the workout to their needs and capabilities. In addition, his workouts are filled with a variety of exercises to keep you engaged- the session never feels like its "inchworming" by. Christina has transformed healthy eating and drinking into something habitual and doable. She holds your hand through the stress of dieting and makes sure you're on track with regular emails/texts and monitoring your food journal. Her ability to address her client's nutritional needs and recommend healthy recipes is unparalleled. And, her wellness sessions keep you "in-check" and encouraged. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Kinda ironic that these…read moreGYM-goers don't like stairs and walking hallways and it is not like you actually get lost or something. I have been a member almost a year now and I come here pretty much everyday, never had an actual issue. If there is an AC issue, or water temperature at the pool, "things breaking" can happen at almost every business, they are immediately taken care of. Awesome crew, on point cleanliness, actively renovating older spots,bathrooms, lockerrooms, etc - i have personally witnessed all of these in the past year. As for parking, of course, in the middle of McLean, at peak hours any business is going to have limited parking. This is common sense. Besides the peak hours, there is always space to park. One thing I would suggest tho, is to open up the pool registration hours to earlier hours as well, like 5am when the gym opens. I cant register for sooner than 7:15. Other then that, keep up the good work!

However, the facility itself was in dire need of renovation. - pool: covered outdoor pool that works as indoor pool during colder months, but the condensation is much, you can't see anything. (See pic) - it is like a maze: hard to navigate easily and it reminds you of your public school set up - group classes itself were nice, but the AC AND the fans on the ceiling don't work, so imagine how hot it gets.. like 77 on my group class day. It was so uncomfortable. - if you need tennis or other courts: this is your best bet! They have so many tennis and other sport courts. So choose this location if you like tennis, squash etc. not a good fit for those who just wanna workout in group classes or swim in comfort. $90 a month plus $100 or so for initiation fee. 3. Indoor cafe available 4. Parking is a nightmare. Such a small lot for the number of people it serves. Those who live in McLean should just walk there. Then the walk itself will your workout!

Equinox Tysons Corner -- BEWARE…read more Extremely shady cancellation practices. I went into the club four months ago specifically to cancel my membership. I spoke with an employee, clearly told him I wanted to cancel, and was told I was good to go. Now, four months later, Equinox is claiming there is no cancellation request on file and telling me I owe four months of membership fees. Convenient. This also isn't an isolated issue. The BBB has numerous recent complaints involving Equinox and cancellation problems, continued billing, and customers being sent through unnecessary hoops just to cancel. A luxury gym with a premium price should have premium customer service. Instead, this feels like a deliberate game of "you can join easily, but good luck getting out." Document everything if you're a member. I would not recommend Equinox Tysons Corner.
