I'm updating my review to add back a star to 4 total. Some improvements I've noticed lately:…read more - More frequent communication on social media and elsewhere digitally to members about happenings at the gym - Equipment repairs and even replacements of things like rope attachments for cables are happening quickly - Cleanliness overall is really good; I almost always see someone cleaning something when I'm there - Staff has been very friendly and helpful I also recently got a second gym membership at Planet Fitness* and have tried out several of their locations in northern Virginia since. And it's very clear what the difference between a ~$20 membership and a ~$60 membership get you. Compared to the 'chain gyms,' TFE is: - Way cleaner and better maintained, especially the locker room - Has a sauna, always a big bonus - Has additional strength training equipment, 1:1 cables, and weights that go up higher for those of us who are more experienced *Three big reasons I sprung for the outside membership: 1) TFE hours are rough sometimes to fit into my schedule especially the weekend hours. 24/7 gym is a necessity for me sometimes, even if I have to settle for a slightly less intense facility. 2) The day passes are so expensive. I imagine I can't be the only person who has a significant other or family member who doesn't live in the area but visits frequently enough to want to come to the gym. My girlfriend lives in Arlington so it'd be crazy for her to pay this gym's membership price to workout on the weekends with me, but it's actually cheaper for me to get a black card at PF than to buy even a couple day passes at TFE. I would recommend to TFE to think up its own version of a black card to allow for unlimited guests, perhaps throw in some massages at the salon inside the facility, etc. 3) It's month-to-month so there's no risk involved to try it. I understand why non-chains can't do this though as they likely rely on the people who sign up and then never come to keep crowds down but stay operational. Overall, TFE is great and you seem to get what you pay for compared to cheaper chain gym options, but I would love better weekend hours and more flexibility in bringing occasional guests as part of the membership.

This review is for Lifetime in Sterling, VA. First of all, didn't even know there was a lifetime in…read moreSterling. This gym is massive. I didn't even know it existed. It's down a dirt road but im assuming, pretty new and everything is so clean. I prefer the classes over the actual gym and they have tons. They also have a pickleball court! It took me a minute to find a parking spot but again, lot of very big for the size of the facility. When checking in, there is no questioning for guests, which I liked. I didn't have to talk to anyone or fill out a form. I just got to go and do the classes. When walking thru the main level, there is a whole basketball court, pickleball court, child care, FULL locker rooms (that are huge). You go upstairs and huge weight training room and group fitness classes. I love Heidi's Barre classes. Everything is so clean, looks so nice and welcoming. The reason for 4 stars is the price of the membership. $170 seems silly.

I hired Vanessa for PT and she's someone who not only is an expert in her craft, she holds a penchant and passion for training. She knows how to accommodate my extreme hypermobility (hEDS) to avoid injury yet build muscle. She's a delight to be around and always brightens my day (even while making me sweat!). Steam room and sauna and hot tub are all located in the locker rooms. My only complaint is they had to close down the pool - I'd love to see that reopened! Highly recommend this location!

So I've been coming to Oak for about 2 years now officially in May I believe. I don't know why it's…read moretaken me this long to write a review but here it is... This is not your typical gym. And I know that may be a cliche but it isn't. This is a community gym. The atmosphere is kind and supportive no matter who you are or your fitness level. For reference I am a 30 year old woman and have friends here that are twice my age. I've never felt pressured, bullied or creeped out once. Now let's talk about the staff... Brent. Brent, is the manager and has been since I joined. He has built a wonderful team and as far as I can tell a pretty positive work environment for everyone. He always remembers my name despite the fact that I've hardly ever worked with him directly. Wendy. Wendy is exceptional with members and our community. She always waves and stops to talk to me when she passes. And I'm pretty sure she knows everyone at this point :) I've made friends with many of the trainers here and so will you. Let's see who we've got... Zoe. Zoe is someone I've known for two years now and have actually become close friends with. She is without a doubt the nicest woman I've ever met. She knows a lot about running and cardio, so if you've got the thrill for a race she is your girl! Dan. Dan is a character and who many people turn to for advice about basic movement mechanics and health. Oh and he is pretty much athletic in everything. Just ask what he does in his free time. Haha Chris. Chris is a rockstar. He does classes in the early mornings along with a few other trainers and is consistently a happy guy. He will always try to make you laugh...don't tell Dan I said that. Stacy. I don't know Stacy very well but I know she works hard and is an early bird that loves to run. She has always been very sweet and kind towards everyone. I can't list all the people that make this place great but these are definitely the people that have influenced me the most. For the first year at Oak I worked out almost every day and every day I was greeted with the same kindness and support. Without that I'm not sure I would have stuck out with my journey. I can now do 5 pull ups in a row, deadlift over 220lbs and hip thrust over 300lbs. These are just a few of the goals I've set and reached for myself and I'm so glad I was able to accomplish them in such a place as Oak. If you have toured the place you already now how clean it is and that there are countless showers and lockers to choose from. Equipment is kept clean and ready to use. I hardly see a broken piece of equipment. And if I have it doesn't stay broken for long. Not all gyms are great so if you thought this place doesn't have enough to offer I think I can gladly state that it does. So if you are thinking about joining please don't hesitate. It's worth it.

I have been here over a year now and feel like now it's the best time to write a honest review…read more This is the cleanest and most organized gym in the whole Nova area!! Roxanne and her cleaning crew are the best for this facility. This ensures that everything runs smoothly and that there are no unexpected interruptions. This level of organization reduces the time you spend looking for equipment and allows you to focus more on your workout. The overall atmosphere is one of a kind and everyone who works here treats everyone with respect, making it a place where you can feel comfortable and motivated to achieve your fitness goals!!

I am coming up to my 3 years of going to The Shop in Ashburn. I have had many gym membership for…read morethe last 30 years and it is absolutely the best gym. I am always greeted by someone at the front desk, which is so important to feel welcome and part of a community. The music always pumps me up. I love the mix and the volume. I believe the volume is perfect so I don't hear other's conversations; hearing just the banging of plates and the music is bliss. The equipment selection is absolutely incredible. The Shop in Ashburn is always adding and changing equipment. They have equipment that I have never seen or experienced before and now can't imagine training without. The shop is so well maintained! They fix their own equipment, so it is not out of order for very long. This gym is also incredibly clean! I mean really clean. Not only is there pride in maintaining this gym but the members (for the most part) are considerate and clean off the equipment and rack their own weights (I have experienced gyms where people don't rack their weight at all). Staff clean the gym as well. The staff are either cleaning the mirrors, moping the floors, wiping down the equipment or walking around with vacuums on their backs. After you have been a member of the Shop you will find other gyms out right disgusting. The staff are always willing to help. I had several occasions that I needed assistance and they always solved it. Another aspect that I really appreciate is the shop does not price gouge for gear nor the protein drinks etc. I really appreciate that. The community (for the most part) are a great bunch of people that work hard and do their own thing to reach their goals. It is really cool, that others watch my lift and cheer me on or want to chat. It is a fairly friendly gym. I even get help to load and deload my lifts, I never experienced that anywhere else. I travel quite a distance to go to the Shop and for that reason I have separate membership to a closer gym. The difference is night and day. The shop is the far superior choice if you care about lifting. If there was only one mark down to my glowing review is it is unacceptable to have tripods filming when it is busy. Especially set up in the middle of the walkways. It is a concrete floor and what if my gym bag hits it and topples over their camera or phone. Members should't have to worry about damaging other property when they don't walk so straight after leg day.
