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.

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.

The reason I give it two stars is because they put so much pressure on you to join. In fact, I asked to have my account dropped for the unforeseeable future, and I get a call yesterday that they will put it on hold like I will come to my senses come February. I specifically asked to be dropped completely from my monthly auto payments and turned in the proper form to do so. Sorry, but at the end of the day, no means no.

Even better is that I can see results in the mirror and when I slip on my clothes. I used to work out in a gym on cardio machines but it didn't do a thing for me. These smaller mom classes are so much better. So far I've gone to classes taught by Kathy and Janet, both are excellent. The only thing I don't like about Studio PinkFit is the distance, I have to trek out there from Centreville. It would be nice if they were closer like in Chantilly or if they sublet through a space like Centreville Dance Academy.

So, I got recommended by a friend who goes to OTF -- no idea which studio he attends but that's def a talking point imo. FNT (for next time) and all dat. I a new member and been going for a week or two by now. I joined when they had that March promo going on. Promo sux TBH, but workout doesn't so. It's pretty solid / decent actually. One minus, they messed up setting up my profile (adding my HR beats thingy and made a typo on my e-mail which caused there to be a dupe one or something). Also price is a minus, they charge me way too much. Like bro I'm not made of money, I'm just a poor boy trying to lose some fat here. Lastly and a pain point of mine, none of the trainers stop you when you're doing something flagrantly stupid. I'm talking bursting past max heart rate and hovering around 200 BPM, which is dangerous I've recently learned. Now I'm going to take it easy and go 6-8 max on the treadmill, but a bummer as I wish the trainers (or anyone there) would start yelling and maybe slap some sense into you when they see something like that. Anyway, cool story of mine. I hope to stick around, I like losing calories and training weights, trainers are pretty decent, approachable and most are even nice, app is great all around no problems so far. High ten, OTF! Up high! Heck yeah. -- UPDATE (9/25/23): Updating my review to 3-stars because I've struggled with getting along with other members here, and I have yet to make a single acquaintance or friend here. Also, front desk people are not really kind to me and pointedly avoid my eyes at times. There is also something to be said about waitlists for a class. I booked a class last minute bc I was busy with an unavoidable chore, and spent 20 min. driving to the studio. Only to be told "don't procrastinate, book earlier" by head coach here, in response to the fact that the 20 min. drive was a waste of my time (and gas). This response irks me as well as the fact that I decided to "stick it to them" and proceeded to last-minute book the next class more than one hour later at 7pm at the South Riding location, and attended class that day there. Seriously, waitlists at this (the Ashburn) studio are brutal and just the worst. Coaches are uncompromising and never kind to me, and other members largely ignore me as a whole. If I can make at least one acquaintance I can consider bumping up the rating to a 5-star, but honestly I don't see that happening anytime soon, and so the rating sticks and the review stands as it is for now. UPDATE (10/31/23): it's gotten consistently better I feel, still have no friends at OTF and don't really know anyone at the work outs, but there was at least one day where I felt good and everyone was nice to me. Then today, last day of Hell Week -- also Halloween -- I dressed up in costume, and even just two people, the coach and studio manager, commented on it. None of the members did, then again everyone's a stranger so it's hard to build rapport. Anyway, updating my review to 4-star to be fair because I have had a pleasant experience with Ashburn as my home studio so far.

I took a really good Sculpt & Flow class here one morning with Erin…read more The class was great. I had never been to this particular location before, and given the area demographics, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I actually really enjoyed the class and got one of the better Sculpt & Flow workouts I've had in a while. The class was pretty packed for 8 AM on a Sunday, but we worked so many different things and I burned more than 400 cal. The instructor was just super nice overall and did a great job motivating quotes and also demonstrating the moves. If you've been to a YogaSix before, it's the same jam: Flow water dispenser, restrooms, one studio room, decent heat. I would def return.

I love that they dimmed the lights, which set the mood. The music was loud at times, so a bit hard to hear the coach, otherwise perfect. They definitely take pride in their studio by keeping it clean. After each class, they go in and clean/sweep the studio. They sell alo mats, but everyone can bring their own mats or rent one. A drop-in class is $10, which isn't too bad. I didn't get a chance to find out about the memberships as I booked through ClassPass. There is plenty of parking directly in front and also shared by surrounding businesses. Would I return? absolutely!
