This is one of my favorite locations in the area because I generally get on the machines I want, and it is truly 24/7. I also appreciate the rep counter on some of the machines.

PF also offers the massage chairs, tanning beds, and uv treatments offered by other high end brands. I highly recommend PF, and this location is great.

The facilities are generally clean, the equipment is in working order, and the staff are friendly. If the goal is to get in and get out efficiently, this probably isn't the right fit. The low price point brings in a lot of newcomers, which isn't a bad thing in itself, but it does come with a total lack of gym etiquette. It's common to see people sitting on machines for long stretches, scrolling on their phones between sets, or taking multiple sets of weights into a corner and doing the same. There's little to no enforcement of basic rules, and realistically, the front desk staff aren't in a position to manage that. The app isn't very reliable either. It may show the gym as "not busy," but certain areas can still be completely packed. As expected, weekdays after 5 PM are consistently the worst times. While still paying for the membership, I've ended up using my apartment gym instead, since going to Planet Fitness often feels like more hassle than it's worth. Overall, you get more than what you pay for. Just know what you're signing up for. If consistency, efficiency, and basic etiquette from others matter, this setup will likely be frustrating, and waiting on equipment will be part of the routine.

Whether it was Ballys, Golds, World Gym, Anytime Fitness, Washington Sport, etc....I have seen a lot of different types - all with different costs and hours. So, when walking into Snap Fitness, I kind of known what to expect: inexpensive, low maintenance, just enough equipment, etc - again, I had been a member @ a 24 hour gym before (and I actually prefer them). The good: -Gym is clean -Gym has a vast selection of equipment for the size -Gym is open 24/7 The bad: -Smaller than normal (or compared to other 24hr gyms) -Not cheap for size, especially considering there are a lot of other gyms nearby -When I approached the staff to ask if they had a particular machine, they were a bit snotty and rude. I was informed they would NEVER have one of those (pull up assist machines) I never went back, and don't plan on having that place as even a back up gym. One Life fitness and Planet Fitness are cheaper and offer more - with nicer staff.

I was a member here for about 4 years or so, off and on. I had an unlimited membership at one point…read moreso throughout the duration of my membership, I hit well over 300 classes. It can be fun because it is motivating to exercise as part of a group fitness class. The workout itself was mostly good, but after a while classes became repetitive-- this was a fault of corporate bc that's who creates the workouts. The reason I ultimately left was because of the poor music selections at this studio. I know that every member is different and has different music tastes, but coaches should be more receptive to requests and suggestions. Music is my biggest motivation to exercise, so once I started hearing Eminem and Irish fight songs a little too often, I had to dip! Lol it was like the instructors were totally unaware of any current musicians with uptempo music (like Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, Doja Cat, etc.) or even any throwback artists (like Missy Elliot, Britney Spears, etc.).

We stayed in Downtown Alexandria and the gym was around 15 mins away (walking). Such a great cute little women's studio. We did the Bosu class and it kicked our butts.

This was such a loaded experience. As someone who frequents many small studios like this in various…read moreparts of the DMV, especially the V, I definitely have my likes and dislikes. Likes: Anna-Maria, the instructor, was very sweet. She was warm and welcoming, very encouraging throughout the workout, and had an interesting playlist. It was also a pretty good workout with the core/upper body sections being better than others. Format: Surge Strength. It was very much a "lift to the music" while bringing in cardio elements workout. I like having music blaring but being on beat (or striving to be) annoys me because you're pressured to break form and not move meaningfully. I probably looked crazy, but I was seconds behind the other people in class because I wanted to actually lift, not swing my arms around. Also, some of the moves (mostly lower body), when moving that quickly, just don't target the areas I want to strengthen meaningfully. For some moves, I'd opt for slower, more controlled, classic moves so I could get it right. We were using "light to heavy" dumbbells - I think the highest is 15 pounds. Also, the "stop, grab your mat, unfold, and do floor work for a couple minutes" thing was kind of disorienting at times. Facilities/equipment: this is my second biggest gripe. While it looked mostly visibly clean, the floors were dirty AF, covered in stringy hairs. Ew. During the floor sections, I could see hair and other debris on the floor and it would even get on me if any part of me even slightly came off the mat, or hairs would be hanging from my weights when I picked them up.yuckkk. Also, the mats were funky. Very clear that they rely on folks doing the one-wipe swipe after sweaty workouts for cleaning and that's gross. They don't have a water cooler or even a cool Flow Water station or anything - they have two water fountains that are relatively low pressure. And they're connected, so only one works at a time. And they looked a little dusty. Vibe: It's a no for me, dawg. Outside of Anna-Maria, there was like NO diversity in the room (maybe one Asian woman in the front) which feels VERY WEIRD when the playlist is VERY Black with a little Brown sprinkled in. On top of that, the women in there were stuck up and some were, frankly, obnoxious. I got multiple stares (Yes, I'm Black! OMG lol) and when I was attempting to fill my water at the ratchet fountain, before I knew they were connected, this one white studio member, in such a condescending way, was like, "hi, yeah, they're actually connected, so..." Girl, bye. Oh, that brings me to another point: It was my first time at that location. I checked in and received no orientation/guidance from the girl at the front desk. I ended up entering the studio room and, thankfully, Anna-Maria was able to help me get set up. I think the girl at the front desk heard me receiving instructions and ran in just as the workout was about to start and apologized for not introducing me to things. But it was very much an afterthought and if I was someone who was super anxious or thrown off by stuff like that, I would've left. Oh, and it's def the type of place where the same people show up for the same classes (or multiple) regularly. To be honest, I disliked the vibe so much initially, I considered leaving like five minutes into the workout. But a player has goals, so I stayed. It seemed pretty clear who this space is intended for. And I've pretty much NEVER felt that way before, even when working out in tiny studios in places like Del Ray and Loudoun. I was less uncomfy towards the end, but initial impression plus hair: ew. You'll get a cute workout in but this vibe? Not for me.

Rundown: Class Type: Signature Hot Instructor: Virginia Class: 3.5/5 - enjoyed class. My only semi-complaint would be the temperature. This room doesn't get very hot. I'd actually consider it more "warm" yoga than hot. Virginia was a good instructor. I didn't experience or witness any hands-on assisting but that may not be her vibe. But that room... so not hot. Compared to a Corepower or even the heat at some other studios, I needed more. It was worsened by one person in my class who entered/exited five times during class after coming in late. But flow was good. Studio: 4.7/5: So clean, warm and welcoming! I LOVED the tea area - such a nice touch and way to keep your nervous system settled after class. And the tea options were solid! There are two very clean restrooms (with face towels, deodorant, bathroom spray, lotion, dry shampoo, and period products), a photo opp/chill area, self-locking cubbies, and swag for purchase. I forget her name but the woman at the front desk was so nice! Now, the heat may not compare to a Corepower but the experience was better! Great diversity of people: bodies, ages, backgrounds, skill level. And it was just very friendly and less transactional. I'd def return and am looking forward to coming back!
