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.

Pick up is any time until 6pm. Our daughter loved to he coaches and activities. They'd play in the gym, do obstacle courses, and go on excursions to playgrounds, Anacostia Park, and more. She always came home happy and excited to tell us about camp! Also, the price wasn't as steep as other camps.

Super convenient location and friendly staff. However the space in the gym is VERY poorly allocated…read moreand the layout was a bad design from the start. The barbell area set aside for deadlifts and squats was like added as an afterthought - it's in a small, cramped, crowded corner at the back of the free weights area. It's like a tight little nook with all artificial light, and it's very awkward and demotivating waiting your turn in such a tiny space crowded to the max with sweaty bodies and weights. Meanwhile, the outer portion of the gym where the treadmills and cardio machines are is huge by comparison, but at any given time only a few people are using the treadmills with many unused. They could have put more of the barbells and squat equipment there to alleviate the crowing and calustrophobia in the free weights area. There's no breathing room in such a crowded environment! BTW, to be fair, the location in Old Town Alexandria is MUCH bigger and uses their floorspace much better. Even though it's a little farther away from my house, I go their whenever I can. The layout is awesome, you can breathe, and concentrate much better on your workout, instead of fighting crowded bodies and metal equipment everywhere you turn in a tiny little corner of the weight room. As a member of OneLife's all-access plan I'm grateful I can go there too. It's a 5 star location. Overall, not complaining about OneLife as a whole, just the layout of the Crystal Park location which seriously needs to be redesigned.

Checking in after a little over a year with Carmen at Ambitious. Simply put, there is a reason I…read moreshow up every morning I am in town. I have been in some sort of athletics since I was 5. I have been coached by professional trainers for the majority of that time, including D1 and Olympic coaches. I am happy to report that the entire team at Ambitious has kept me engaged, supported, and challenged the whole time. This is not only true of the coaching, but of the other members as well. At this point, they are friends. The workouts are programmed in a way that keeps me pushing myself while letting me scale back when needed. The coaching staff is always there to ensure form is solid or to offer an alternative if my body isn't 100% there that morning. Having worked with many strength coaches over the last 15 years, I am confident in saying that your well-being and safety are their top concern. This is coming from a former springboard and platform diving coach, whose first concern always had to be safety. On the member side, or team, as I like to think of them, I cannot say enough positive things. If I am out unexpectedly, people reach out to make sure I am okay. Everyone is there to see everyone get better, which brings incredible accountability. As someone who is not a morning person by any measure, I get myself out of bed for the 7:15 class willingly. 7:15 vs. the world. This has been a wonderful, impactful year with Ambitious. I am happy to keep life as my sport.

Other climbers were respectful and nicely cheered me on. So I popped in on a Wednesday afternoon and it was busyyyyy! There were people everywhere and because it was 80 degrees outside it was pretty warm and stuffy inside. They have everything here at Bouldering Project so that you can actually spend your whole day here. A day pass includes assess to the climbing, their gym, group fitness classes and coworking spaces. And then there's a couple of restaurants right across the alley. I really appreciate that there's so many activities that you can do. I'm looking forward to going back and getting better at the climbing part.

Really great fun climbing gym with really friendly staff and community. Everyone is really…read morerespectful of space and encouraging. I like that there are a couple areas to climb that helps with spacing out people. At my beginner level of V0-3, there were plenty of options to attempt which is really nice but there were plenty of challenging ones too, from what I observed. 5/5 for climbing. 3/5 for the gym. The gym is decent sized with a few squatting and benching areas. A couple negative aspects to the gym though--it's usually pretty packed. Also, the furthest squat/bench has water dripping down from pipes above which was an unpleasant surprise when I lied on the bench for bench press and pipe water dripped right next to my mouth.

I'm writing a review for the body composition and RMR side of the house. I went in separately…read morebecause I goofed on my acronyms, so did the DEXA with Mike C and the RMR with Waseem. Both of those guys are top notch and know their stuff. (Side note: I don't give out five stars for much... I'm a fussy yelp reviewer when I bother to write a report.) I went in because I took up fitness during the pandemic and built up a decent strength and cardio game, but the body fat just isn't shedding. My home gym, and a weight loss program my doc referred me to both use Inbody, and I'm kind of tired of it. Mainly because when I started this whole fitness thing during the pandemic, physiologically I was a wreck. However, I've made a lot of good changes, and... the Inbody just doesn't move. Everybody always told me that the DEXA is the latest and greatest, and it was just a matter of finding one. Bodymass had the nearest one at a decent price. (There's others but they are $$$). My DEXA scan aligned really closely with my inbody report, so that itself wasn't an issue (now. Three years ago, different story.) But where things really go off the rails is with the BMR/RMR calculation. The Inbody report read 500 calories below my actual RMR! The real helpful thing from those guys was getting a target daily protein intake. They gave me a number I was never going to get on my own. With these guys, you get what you pay for and then some. They'll happily talk about other things they offer, but they're not in the business of upselling you on things you don't want. (That said, if I still can't get things moving in the right direction, I'll give their personalized macro thing a try and see what happens.) As I said above, I don't hand out 5 stars for much, but these guys earned it.

The instructors are very hands on and really watch your form and give corrections where needed.

I so appreciate the lack of needing to do some insanely hard weight just because, forgoing form in the process. Love the instructors, love the workouts, love that they incorporate stretching as well.
