"TL;DR"? BODY20 is the real deal. Truth in Advertising…read more Longer version: having learned of their existence in 2023, after I'd already gotten in the pipeline for gastric sleeve surgery, I held off on setting foot in their Sterling/Potomac Falls location. A week after the procedure (Feb 19, 2024), so Feb 26, I contacted BODY20 expressing my interest in trying them out, once I exited certain post-operation "phases" and could engage in more intense exercise again. I was immediately struck by their enthusiasm, almost frustrated that at the time, I couldn't match it. Fast forward a little further to late April and hitting my halfway point in terms of desired weight loss. I made an appointment and set foot in their location May 6. Kevin rolled out the red carpet and showed me everything that would be involved if I signed up, from their high-end InBody scale and all its measurements, to the real focus, the proprietary "suit" to deliver the electrical muscle stimulation and all the promises attached to it. Now I walked in plenty skeptical, as the chain makes some tall claims about getting "1-2 hours" of traditional exercise in a 20 minute window. What can I tell anyone other than, despite how seemingly unrealistic that claim may initially sound - they underpromise and overdeliver?! I'll never know what my highest body fat percentage was, as only my weight and BMI were measured during the pre-surgery process. I can say with no fear of contradiction, that in the nearly 9 months since I set foot in the Potomac Falls location: I am down an additional 60 lbs overall, and *all* of that is fat, as measured by the InBody scale. Body fat percentage has dropped from 46 to 30%. Visceral fat, that most life-threatening form, is down from 24 to 11, well within the healthy range. All this has been accomplished while maintaining muscle mass to within 2 lbs of where I started - a minor miracle in itself, given the limited calorie intake necessary to the gastric sleeve recovery process. As I've shared with the staff at different times, with the role that muscle mass plays in avoiding "regain" down the road after this sleeve process, BODY20 is proving to be a great insurance policy to help make certain that my success is not reversed down the line. Their monthly membership is like a premium I pay to help increase my likelihood of success. From Lisa to Seth to Fahmida and Kevin, everyone I've dealt with to date at the Potomac Falls location has been equal parts knowledgeable and informative, they know what they're doing and they know how to get the best out of you, so long as you show up and do your part. I can't recommend them highly enough so if you're on the fence - get off, make an appointment, and try them for yourself. I wasn't sure they'd be able to deliver on their promises, but they've gone from being something I intended to use "in the background" of my other fitness endeavors, to being the backbone of the latter, and I work my other efforts around them!

Let me start by saying I've been a Northern Virginia resident for many years, though it seems…read moreGoogle had me signing into Yelp as if I were in San Francisco--I'm not sure why, but I've definitely been living here for a while now. Over the years, I've been a member of many gyms, but after joining Body20 just over a year ago, I can honestly say I've never felt better. I've trimmed fat, built muscle, and even like to joke that I have a "4-pack" for my abs. If you're after a workout that actually delivers results, look no further! The intensity of the Body20 workout is no joke. While you might not feel sore the next day, trust me--the day after, you'll definitely feel the burn. It's the kind of workout that leaves you feeling accomplished and empowered. Even better, the results come fast and are incredibly noticeable. What truly makes Body20 stand out, though, is the staff. They're patient, encouraging, and always know how to push you just a little further. Kevin, the owner, is amazing--he treats his employees with respect and is always available to answer any questions you might have. His commitment to both his team and customers is evident and adds a lot to the overall experience. If you're curious about Body20, Kevin offers free demo sessions, so there's no financial commitment to try it out. It's the perfect chance to see if this workout works for you. Living in the DMV area can be stressful, and maintaining my health has been essential for staying balanced and positive. Instead of letting stress get the best of me, I head to Body20, where I can burn it all off and get into the best shape of my life. I highly recommend Body20 to anyone looking for a real change. You will definitely see results!

I shouldn't have to I was ready, and I came in at the same time the other girl came in, sooo why do I need to reschedule? I could have stayed, I just think they was kind of rude and didn't help me out at all, highly would not recommend!

Though you can do drop in classes the marketing to keep you coming back can be quit aggressive, but if you do have the means to do so it's worth signing up.

I've been a member at VIDA Fitness for about a year now, and my mom is actually a founding member,…read moreso I've seen the gym from both a long-term and more recent perspective. When I first joined, the experience felt aligned with the "luxury" brand they promote. The classes are still a highlight because they're engaging, well-run, and one of the main reasons I've stayed. I also genuinely like the bar area, and most of the food I've had has been solid. That said, the biggest issue for me, and it's a major one... is cleanliness. It's honestly disturbing to see the same stains on the gym floors day after day. I understand the flooring is a neutral color, but that's not an excuse for it to look visibly dirty all the time. The areas near the windows and equipment are especially bad. At $200/month, I expect a consistently clean facility, and that standard is not being met. The bathrooms are no better. The floors often look stained and unclean, and there are almost never toilet seat covers available in the women's restroom. It feels like basic upkeep is being missed regularly. The cold plunge has also been an issue!! I've gone to use it before and noticed a visible film, which made it completely unusable. That shouldn't happen in a facility marketed as high-end. On top of that, the staff isn't particularly welcoming or attentive, which adds to the overall disconnect between the brand and the actual experience. To be fair, not all of this falls solely on the gym.. many members don't wipe down equipment after using it. But that's exactly why there needs to be stronger oversight and more consistent cleaning protocols in place. During the summer, the rooftop pool gets extremely crowded. The pool itself is nice, but it's clear they need more staffing during peak months. Service becomes very slow, which takes away from what could otherwise be a great amenity. As someone who works in facilities and understands operations, this feels like a management issue. There needs to be more attention to daily maintenance, cleaning standards, and overall quality control. Right now, it simply does not reflect the luxury experience being advertised. I'm willing to give it a little more time to improve, but based on my experience so far, I would rate it a 2.5 out of 5

Repost from Google for people that use yelp instead:…read more Here is a long review since I feel there is a lot of things to say. Started off is that for ME this is a five star experience from the first day that I stepped foot in this gym. I am someone who treats the gym like a second home; lift for a couple hours, cardio after, and stretching and recovery. I was tired of all the overcrowded commercial gyms and this place really fit the bill. This gym, in my opinion, is not for everyone though. The $199 price tag per month is over triple the amount of over any other commercial gym in the area, so unless you have more disposable income or really take the gym fairly seriously, then I would think twice. With that said, the price, in my opinion, is well worth it. The staff have all been super nice and Katie was there to hold my hand each step of the way, figuratively, showing everything from the app and amenities, to how to validate the parking. Before I even signed up she made me and my Fiancé feel like VIP guests. Equipment wise there are so many hi-low cables, LAT pulldowns / rows, and leg machines than any other gym 10 times the size would just fill with 100 treadmills rather than equipment people actually use. Machines are PREMIUM and have the best resistant curves and arm paths that I have ever felt. Don't like leg day? I guarantee you'll look forward to them here! Five different squat machine variations, every isolation machine you can think of, they probably have it, and if you don't like machines, well they have five, I think, deadlift platforms that double as squat racks, then and additional two power racks on top of that. I don't think I have ever needed to wait for a machine or piece of equipment besides their gym80 lateral raise machine (oh this machine makes the membership worth it itself) The trainers all seem knowledgeable and are all super friendly if you have a question for them in passing, and I also have seen Tess for their in house nutrition, who was great in giving me the information I needed to reach my goals. Between the gym, PTs, nutrition the only way I can fail is my own willpower to stay consistent. Cardio wise I have never really seen the treadmills completely full, but there aren't too many and there are multiple different brands of treadmills that will spam and minimize your workout until you log in and create some account with them, which is actually super annoying (looking at you technogym!) and I have accidently hit the stop button more times than I can count, which might just be a skill issue, but I haven't had that problem anywhere else so I am nitpicking there. The few times I have used the sauna and steam room it was clean and the people using it were all respectful of space and being sure to cover themselves appropriately. Making it much more comfortable while I am about to pass out while chugging water in the sauna. I have not used the cold plunge nor think I would ever want to so no comment on that. So yeah.... that's it I think. TL;DR: Gym is expensive but if you take the gym and health seriously then it is well worth the price tag, or if you just are in that higher tax bracket lol. So many high quality machines it'll bring a tear to your eye when you first use them. People I have run into are very nice and respectful.

Owner (Tommy) is cheap and rude with a superiority complex: he is condescending to members and…read morespeaks possessively of his staff. Even his staff (the few that have remained) don't like him and say things like "if tommy gives you athletic advice, just smile and nod". Everything to him is about MONEY. His members are dollar signs. He charged for the CrossFit Open (maybe illegally?). Upped everyone's membership price for "upgrades" - aka poorly painted bathroom. He'll even try to charge you even when you quit (several accounts of this- so take your card out of wodify). There are COUNTLESS stories of people he's wronged. I made friends and a community there, but was personally reprimanded by Tommy when I suggested advancing my athleticism and was insulted for getting my L1 weightlifting cert. Overall, there is a lack of culture and coaching at this gym. Gym is closed for any possible reason (snow days, any possible holiday - eg Mother's Day). I respect and appreciate the knowledge Joe - owner of Epic- has. But it doesn't outweigh the temper and egotistical attitude of Tommy. I'd suggest trying CrossFit 286 or CrossFit Reston instead.

I never…read moredreamed in a million years that I'd be the kind of person who would be excited about working out - the kind of person who looked forward to going to the gym rather than dreading it like a tax audit. BSP changed everything for me. I used to go to the gym and wander back and forth between the treadmill and the stair-climber. I had no experience with weights, knew nothing about strength training, and didn't know a barbell from a kettle bell. When I first joined I was clueless and worried that I'd feel intimidated. I didn't - I felt empowered! I worried that I wouldn't be able to execute any of the exercises in my first program. I could - I had no idea how strong I could be! There are a million reasons I love this place, but a few of the standout differentiators for me are these: Personalized approach - programs that are tailored just for me, and only for me, to challenge me each and every time I come in based on MY goals, MY strengths, and MY limitations The coaches!!! - the most knowledgeable, professional, approachable, and encouraging coaches - every single one of them. The BSP business culture values constant and consistent learning, and that's abundantly clear in every interaction with these talented people Fun, friendly, non-intimidating environment - this community of fun-loving and outgoing people - coaches and clients alike - who call out your name when you walk in the door, who cheer you on when you reach a goal or hit a PR, who are genuinely glad to see you and share in your excitement over crushing fitness goals - they create a social scene of accountability and motivation Honestly, BSP is more than a gym for me - over the past 2+ years it has become a family and a major part of my life.

I would randomly lift at the gym, but there was no structure or consistency to make progress, so it felt pretty pointless, and I'm sure I wasn't building an effective routine the few days I would go work out. Since coming back (I was a member years ago before moving out of the area), I'm in a happy place... Workouts are fun, I love that each program is like its own mini-challenge to push through, and I can see progress every time I read my sheet (even if it's small changes in weights lifted going up). I'm no longer bored or writing off workouts because there's that feeling of "whatever, I can do it later, it's just the gym". The community is unreal. I've never been in one place with so many people that are allies and champions for each other, coming from so many different places with so many different goals. And of course, the coaches are awesome and help build a supportive environment that's incredibly welcoming and realistic. I've never felt pressure to be perfect, only encouragement to be mindful of decisions so I can make better ones to reach my own goals. The camaraderie from coaches and members alike is something I've never felt so naturally anywhere else--it's just there without being forced upon you. I've never seen someone walk out of BSP unhappy, even when I know we've all come in on rough days a time or two and wanted to be anywhere else. I could gush on and on... but if you want a judgement-free place where you can set your own pace for progress and have a ridiculous amount of knowledge and resources to help, this is it!
