There is a very small amount of meatheads that grunt and drop weights. Its a lot of older neighborhood folks and I love that. They keep their equipment in good shape. They have regular classes that I've really enjoyed. They are even right next to the best deli in the area so you can get a Rueben when you're done working out!

I really love this gym. This is no cookie-cutter chain gym. This is a unique neighborhood gym and…read moreall of the instructors and the staff are awesome. There are flowers planted outside, house plants in the bathroom, it's always very clean. The people who come here are friendly. The sauna is nice. The facility is never too busy, you will always get a machine. The classes are top-notch and offered at a good range of times. I've done several of the yoga classes and a sprinkling of other classes. It's inexpensive. It's easy to get to, with plenty of parking available. They also have a very easy to use app for signing up for classes.

One of the newer Golds Gyms in the DMV area. I joined this gym as part of a great offer during the…read moreBlack Friday / Cyber Monday weekend and I must say I am quite impressed with this gym. Also, I am not sure why the reviews are so low for this gym. This gym itself is modern, clean, and well-equipped with state-of-the-art cardio machines, weight lifting machines and equipment galore!.....not to mention, there are dedicated strength training areas (like squat racks and weight machines), specialized sections for CrossFit training, cardio workouts and surprisingly a hydro-massage room. For the price that I scored during their membership drive, I think it's a great deal for the price...$11.99/mo. (bi-weekly). In addition to the state of the art equipment and workout gear in this facility, the staff are very welcoming and as a new member answered a lot of questions that I have about the gym and use. The front desk manager (sorry I forgot his name --Latino guy with glasses) was very helpful in addressing an account issue (to my fault) on the spot and even getting me a refund processed due to my error during my first visit to this location. So I must say, between the customer service and great equipment.....This gym exceeds all my expectations for the price. And believe me, I've had memberships across many gyms in the DMV area and other US state lines to know the difference. I've even taught classes at a number of gyms around the DMV area to know the inner workings and operations as well, and I must say that this gym seems to be very efficient. Yes, there's no pool, there's no smoothie bar, and there might not be an onsite spa/massage center included..... but that's not what you come here for. You come here for a good workout at a gym that is spacious, has adequate equipment, and even fitness classes to break up the monotony between your workout routines. That's more than enough to better your health and meet your goals. In all, you can't go wrong with a membership at this gym. So far, I had a good workout and a big check mark from me is that this gym is not as crowded as many of the other Golds gyms around the city.... Especially during peak hours! So get off your butt and give this gym a try! I think you will like it.

We absolutely love Orangetheory, and Dana and Christine are a huge reason why. Dana always knows…read moreexactly what music will get me moving -- when I really need to push, she'll put on hip-hop beats or even an Eminem track just to get the energy going. Those little touches make the workouts so motivating and fun. Christine is amazing when it comes to form and technique. She's always watching and giving guidance, helping us choose bigger weights when we're ready, and encouraging us to reach our goals. Both of them are incredibly supportive and genuinely care about helping you get the most out of every class. Every session with Dana and Christine is challenging, energizing, and enjoyable. We feel so lucky to have coaches like this, and it really helps getting over any "beginners nervous" They make Orangetheory such a rewarding experience, and we look forward to every class. Unfortunately, our experience with coach Marco was extremely disappointing. This was only our second class, and we clearly told him we were new and didn't know what we were doing. When I asked for help twice, he simply said, "read the paper," and walked away. Meanwhile, he stood nearby chatting casually with another member instead of assisting us.It was frustrating, uncomfortable, and honestly insulting. If this had been our first class, we likely wouldn't have joined, meaning we would have missed out on the amazing coaching from Dana and Christine that we now love.
