Generally clean, decent array of equipment and amenities, and usually friendly staff. Over time, I did think sometimes equipment took a bit long to repair, and the lack of simple basics like paper towels in the bathroom was something I wished they had. I also just found myself having to wait on equipment way too frequently, even when the gym wasn't that crowded because they only have one version of some machines and they have a much older crowd at this gym that likes to just sit there talking or scrolling their phones and doesn't seem very serious about working out. Having to navigate the One Loudoun traffic and parking garages also felt like a chore sometimes. At the end of the day, if this gym were a little cheaper I might have considered renewing after my initial term. But it's 1:1 the same cost as the brand new OneLife in Ashburn that has way more equipment + dozens of locations, open space, aquatics, recovery room with compression, red light, and hydromassage, towels included, and more, with a convenient parking lot only one exit farther down Route 7 to boot. I've actually seen 20+ regulars I knew from TFE now working out at OneLife so I think most of the serious gymrats have picked up on the fact they can get more for their money and jumped ship. Farewell, TFE. You were a good gym, I'll always cherish our times together.

Been going to Power Train since June (so two months now) and it's been one of the best decisions…read moreI've made. In conjunction with a very healthy diet, lots of rest and 64+ ounces of water a day, I've seen significant improvements in my physique, energy levels and overall fitness level. What I like most about the gym itself is that it's very clean (well-maintained), spacious and very well laid out. One of the things that is noticeable upon entering the gym is the absence of the typical "gym smell". Meaning, the flooring and bumpers are either done off-gassing or Power Train has invested in higher quality products that don't off-gas. Also, the ventilation must be exceptional because it doesn't have a musty smell (even though there is plenty of sweat produced there). Whoever designed the layout of the workout areas did us all a favor by allowing for more than adequate space between equipment. The area with the exercise balls is not crammed between the benches, the racks aren't on top of one another, the dumbbell racks aren't in the way, etc. Essentially, moving around the gym is not a hassle and working out on a machine will not, in any way, encroach on other people's space. There are two things I'd improve, if I had to get nit picky: 1) the showers could use some love - there are no outlets in the showers and no fans (i.e. no ventilation). Not a deal-breaker, but not optimal because we're forced to go to the bathroom to use the outlet to plug in a hairdryer, for example. 2) we could use space to hang clothes - there is no place to hang clothes when you are working out, so the only real option is to go to the car to get your clothes after you work out (before you shower) That being said, the best thing about Power Train are the people. Jimmy runs a tight ship with some very motivating and talented personal trainers. In the 45 sessions I've had at Power Train since June, I haven't had a bad workout or one where I left wishing I hadn't gone - they have all been great sessions. Additionally, after two months of moving weight and doing boot camps, not a single injury nor any ligament or tendon pain, which is outstanding. I recommend going to Power Train for anyone who's looking to improve their overall fitness level or get their health back on track. Hands down, probably the best decision I've made in years.

Anthony does a fantastic job of customizing my training to my specific needs, focusing on ways to identify & strengthen my weak spots.

Ben is also great at customizing these sessions based on what areas are taking on the most strain. Adding cryo sessions on top of that is like having a reset button to start the next week of competition training. Elite is the best!

I'm not a big fan of co-ed gyms, because working out with weights in front of dudes kind of weirds me out. Especially deadlifts. Oh, and when you stand there for 10 minutes awkwardly trying to figure out how to use the machines. Ugh. So, I figured, I'd hire a personal trainer to at least get me started in learning how to do things the right way. Of course the fear then was, what if he's some guy who preys on lonely middle aged housewives? Well, I figured I needed to do something, and would give it a try. I found Jaime (owner of TruFit) on Yelp and he offered 2 weeks free to give his services a try. Luckily, he wasn't a weirdo preying on lonely middle aged housewives (not that I'm lonely or a middle aged housewife, but its totally ok if you are). Anyway, we sat down the first session and talked about goals, and what I was looking to get out of this whole deal. I officially signed up for a 6 month package. Jaime gave me a heart rate monitor to track sessions, hooked me up with an online "Fit Log" so you can see your progress...and guiltily see clearly when you don't hit your activity goal for the week, and he does monthly progress sessions. I feel a lot stronger, and just overall more fit. Actually, I know I'm a lot stronger from the monthly progress sessions. Yes, I have a ways to go, but feel like the building blocks and knowledge are there to help me keep moving forward. Oh, and another plus, is that when you need equipment, he'll stop by Dick's and pick up what you need and just bill you. Its soooo helpful! Have you ever tried walking out of Dick's with two 30 lb dumbells and getting them to your car!?! Anyway, if you need some motivation and help exercising...or just taking yourself to the next level, give Jaime a try!

They are always just sitting or standing behind desks and never look up or acknowledge anyone. I actually tried signing up here a couple years ago and sat in the waiting area for 20 minutes but no one would come talk to me so I gave myself a tour. That led me to go elsewhere. However, I recently joined the new OneLife in Ashburn so I have access to this location and have tried it a few times. Walking into this OneLife is like going into an alternate universe. I have been to four other locations in Virginia and Maryland, all of which are spacious, clean and have modern equipment. However, this Sterling location is cramped, messy, and the equipment is so worn out. Many machines have handles falling off of them, or benches are tough to adjust, that kind of thing. Personally, I will only go here if I have another reason to be next to it, and otherwise will just go to the Ashburn location.

From TRX, to Weight LIfting, to Kettlebells and Medicine Balls and a myriad of different training modalities, you were sure to get Strong and Fit at Exsurgo. Immie Cross, an Elite Spartan Racer, a Les Mills International Trainer and Instructor, is such a caring and compassionate trainer. Whether you want to train for an Obstacle Course Race, or just improve your overall health, this is a great place to train with personalized attention that you cannot get at every 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.
