I have since attempted to cancel my membership through the gym's posted contact methods but have not received a response or confirmation of cancellation. It is frustrating that my membership was repeatedly questioned when I tried to use the gym, yet I am now having difficulty ending that same membership. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this gym.

I have been a Crunch member for 4 years now, and have been super happy by the group classes,…read moreespecially their Zumba instructors. I am very impressed by how they have adapted during COVID. I was impressed by the measures in place to protect me and the staff. These measures include temperature check, mask required throughout. The gym has fewer classes with fewer people allowed at one time. Patrons are required to clean equipment before and after use. There are spray bottles and paper in buckets around the gym conveniently located. In addition, the gym has invested in a special air filtration system on the main workout floor. All instructors, trainers and staff are proactive and deeply caring about the health and well-beings of their members. Manager Skyler was very helpful. I highly recommend this gym for the quality of its classes, supportive staff, and clear commitment to adapting to our new COVID reality.

We needed someone experienced as she has limitations to manage. The trainer had her doing things in a fashion that caused strain and pain. She advised her to continue despite her concern. Indeed my wife came away with injuries that required doctors intervention, diagnostic imaging and weeks of PT. We attempted to withdraw our memberships. The company delayed and obstructed. Finally we had our credit card company cut them off. Poor training, greedy biz practices, and terrible customer device. Steer clear of this biz.

Pulse fitness participates in this, and it's about 5 credits a class through ClassPass. I've been able to take a variety of classes here, from the TKO Boxing to the different styles of yoga, and the pilates machine! I like it because it's super close to my apartment and parking is never an issue. It's a really cool spot and never feels super crowded. They have separate spaces elsewhere in the building that holds the pilates machine as well as a cycling studio. The instructors are good and responsive to any areas you want to focus on. Would definitely recommend swinging by to take a class here or join as a member!

Following up: I want to commend OneLife Tenleytown management for making substantial progress…read moretowards addressing many requests/complaints from the Crunch members (including me) who joined last month at the close of the Crunch Friendship Heights gym. Management reached out to me personally after my review and took time to we meet and discuss the issues noted. That week OneLife had already announced & added several classes requested by Crunch alumni, retrofitting them into time-slots that helped reduce overcrowding in the original schedule. The two weeks following, even more classes were added. OneLife also brought over some of the former Crunch instructors which helped several of us with the transition. Fair to say that we're still adapting and hoping that there's more to come, but I wanted to make a call out to the management for coming through on these additions!

First of all, there's always piss in the men's sauna, sitting in a stinky yellow puddle in the…read moredrain. I think an old man pisses himself in there every day, and the gym does nothing about it except clean it once a week. They should have a sign that says 'if you're incontinent, don't use the damn sauna!' And last, they don't tell you that you're signing a twelve month lease with them upon sign up, and that ending your subscription results in a 353 dollar charge that they pull out of your account with no warning. They didn't even send me an email. They pulled almost four hundred dollars out of my account without talking to me. I worked out my entire life, and Onelife fitness has unequivocally done more damage to my motivation than any gym I've ever stepped foot into since elementary school. P.S. Brittany is a snake slithering in the grass, and she will do anything to eek more money out of your account. BEWARE OF BRITTANY

Potomac Pilates is my favorite addiction. I started doing Pilates last January (2014) because yoga…read morejust wasn't cutting it. I immediately fell in love with Potomac Pilates and their teachers. I would go every single day if I could! The instructors are knowledgeable, welcoming, and give you a GREAT work out at low impact. It's the first time in a long time that I actually get excited and look forward to working out!!! I would shout out my favorite teachers but I would basically be listing the entire Potomac Pilates staff! Over the past 9 months I've lost 11 pounds and the only thing I've been doing differently is Pilates, so I'm proof, it really works!!! I was concerned my new job would get in the way of my Pilates schedule but because they have early morning and late evening classes I am still able to squeeze a class in before or after work which I'm so grateful for. It's the perfect way to start or end my day, Potomac Pilates is my happy place. I love Potomac Pilates! Definitely worth the cost.

This studio is an absolute joke…read more If you actually want a legitimate Pilates workout I would highly recommend taking your time, bandwidth, and $50 (if you factor the class and transportation/parking) elsewhere. There's zero value unless you're a senior citizen and want to stretch for an hour with a instructor who just likes to hear herself talk. There's NO workout experience and the so called workout is like going to a intro class for a stretch session on a reformer with an instructor who has zero regard for you wanting to sweat or actually do work. Not to mention there's zero front desk, no reply to communication, and worst of the there isn't the slightest bit of a welcoming environment. Location is also poor and hidden. If you have a strong background in Pilates, be it: reformer, mat, even lagree, you will leave frustrated. I've taken classes in major cities that do not even have the slightest bit of entitlement that I experienced from the rude instructor 'lead trainer' here. What a shame.

I've been to other gyms and am tired of the same old "crap shoot" when it comes to your trainer and their knowledge. It is a studio and not an old warehouse - it's more personal and private, though it still has all the amenities you need to shower and secure your personal items. All the equipment (weights and cardio) are NEW, top of the line, clean and work!! I've been to too many gyms where that is NOT the case...I'm sure we all have! If you are serious about your training, your results and are tired of meat market gyms, this is the place to get serious. In the end, you have to want it and going to the same gym day in and day out can get challenging - which brings me to my final point about Tidal EPC - the owner and staff are so much fun to be around...lets face it, good conversation is not required...nor is laughter - but what a difference it makes!

Like all bikram studios it does stink during (and you stink after). Why? Go to a class and find out for yourself. The instructors do what they can to help... I wish they had watermelon after the 6am class cuz let me tell you, they don't! While the changing area is clean, the women's only has 2 showers and a very tiny little area in front of a mirror.

He adapts them based on your goals. He is flexible and works with your schedule which is key because I am a busy doctor with a new baby. He also offers virtual appointments if you are truly in a time crunch. His prices are extremely reasonable for the level of expertise he has.
