The building looks brand new. They have a 50-meter pool. I could not find the 25-yard as a warm-up,…read morebut they talk about it. The building has a good gym where you can work out, and there is a nice spot to sit next to the pool or on the lawn to watch.

This place is horrible. I pay $28,000 in tuition every semester, and you're telling me I can't use…read morethe SINGLE ab machine in the entire gym? Wtf? I walk in and see a huge part of the place "under construction." Keep in mind I have a fractured elbow and other injuries, and the only way for me to train abs right now is with an ab machine which is locked away in a room labeled "under construction." Why can't you just move the only ab machine out of that room and put it in the main area? Is it too heavy? Does it not have wheels? I genuinely don't get it. And every time you walk in, something is always out of service. The Smith machine has been broken since August and it's now the end of the semester. All this money, and the only thing they can do is tell you "you can't do this, you can't do that." At this point I'm seriously considering getting a membership at a private gym. I can't stand this place anymore. If you go to GMU or plan to, seriously consider the fact that the fitness facilities, not just the Aquatic Center, offer horrible service with pointless "safety" rules and regulations that make everyone's life harder. Hope this helps.

I am a person that pays a attention to small details because I am also an operations manager…read more LA Fitness took over the Xsport gyms in the Fairfax area and shut down all the pools but our membership cost did not go down at all - NOT ONE PENNY. What the heck is going on?!?! Reopen the dang pools or lower the rates!! I literally joined XSport in 2023 for the pool and then never got to use it because at first it kept needing repairs, then LA Fitness took over and closed it completely. I thought it was just that location (Strawberry Ln.) so I came to this one and it was closed too! So far, the only plus at this location is all the machines are usually in service (unlike strawberry ln, which has now closed completely). There's a 35lb kettlebell with no companion. All weights should have a companion. This is an easy fix that has never been addressed. Unlike Strawberry Ln, only ONE of the front desk staff is friendly and personable. I don't know his name but he's a gentleman with locs, he always greets everyone when they come and go. I've seen 2 trainers greet as well if I wave first. The other front desk staff just sit at the desk on their phone and say Hi - that's about it. Staff overall should be more personable and welcoming. Further, the plumbing is not good. The toilets can't even flush the toilet paper on the first flush. I have to press the button at least 5-7 times. There's almost no pressure. Highly unsanitary. The ladies locker room never smells like it's been tended to no matter what time I've been there. There's no trash but is anything being wiped down? Mopped? disinfected?! It doesn't smell like it. Only person I ever see cleaning around there is the guy who vacuums the floors, because he's often doing it during the evening rush. Operationally, he should probably vacuum before or after that evening rush or someone could trip over the extension cord he uses. He'll vacuum right around your feet while you're mid-movement. He's done it to me several times when I'm at the benches doing a set. It's distracting and dangerous. Because of the Strawberry Ln gym closing, this one is even more crowded. I hope they have plans to expand if they're not going to reopen the pool. Get rid of it and add more machines or something. It's highly unfair for the pool to be advertised and that our membership was partially based on that, for it to not even be available! Lastly, the signs still say Xsport even though it's been LA Fitness for over a year. Update your information!

Was a member of XSport back in 2017 and eventually quit the gym a few years later when better…read moreoptions came around. Decided to try it out now that LA Fitness took over - in hopes that it was cleaned up and a better overall gym. This. Place. Is. Disgusting. I did a free trial and went in the morning. The bathrooms were gross with full sanitary containers in the stalls. Soap was empty in all but one of the dispensers. Someone left food just sitting, opened and spoiling, on the counter. Clearly whoever cleans before they lock up decided to omit the cleaning part. The gym space has so much potential but everything is insanely worn down and DIRTY. I've been to 'run down' gyms and you don't need new, fancy equipment to be clean. Also, the person that closed the night before clearly didn't care to put anything away. Looked like a toddlers play room after a candy induced episode - stuff all over the place. This place needs to shut down, revamp the entire interior, and just start over. I hate that the closest, most convenient gym makes you feel like you need a tetanus shot after a work out.
