The…read moreinstructors are awesome--they know their stuff, cheer you on by name, and give great modifications (they even kept me moving through pregnancy!). The vibe is super welcoming, not cliquey at all, and you'll see all ages, sizes, and body types in class. It's the first workout I've ever stuck with for more than six months, and the classes + music keep me motivated. Pro tip: early mornings usually have plenty of room, and try each format a few times--you'll get more out of it once you learn the movements. Pure Barre is such a great workout for strength, stability, and overall fitness. For me, I don't count this as my cardio. My heart rate gets up, but not consistently in the cardio range so this is a supplement to my cardio.

I love a Club Studio. I really do…read more I'm really impressed by the equipment floor of this location. I like the layout of this location better than the one in Arlington. I've been to a few classes here - like Arlington, it depends on who your instructor is but I'd say I like the Arlington instructors better. That said, many teach here, too, so you can catch them. Also, there have rarely been waitlists at this location for classes compared to Arlington which is now seemingly always full. The showers here feel super small and I'm not sure if the saunas are co-ed or not. The locker room set-up is odd and I didn't want to risk being seen naked by entering into a sauna where men could also go. I'll explore next time I'm clothed. Parking is free when validated but is usually pretty easy. I think the manager who worked there last year and was a nightmare is gone, so everyone I interacted with was super nice.

GENERAL RTR Pilates is a fantastic addition to the heart of…read moreVienna! The studio is located in a cozy, vibrant part of Northern Virginia, offering a variety of classes that provide a solid workout every time. The instructors are friendly and attentive, ensuring everyone can participate safely, whether managing an injury or catering to specific needs. I particularly enjoyed classes with Sheri, Benedicte, and Alyssa Gail. Their classes were not only challenging but also fun, creating a positive and constructive atmosphere that made each session fly by. SCHEDULING The RTR app is user-friendly and easy to navigate, allowing you to track both completed and upcoming classes. You can book classes weeks in advance at any RTR location, not just Vienna. Currently, early morning classes at 6:15 a.m. are only offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays. As an early riser, I'm excited to see more early morning options as the studio expands! CANCELLATION There's no penalty for canceling a class 12 hours in advance. However, if you cancel within 12 hours of the class start time, you'll lose the class credit, and if you don't show up, you'll lose the class credit and be charged a fee. The cancellation process is quick and easy through the app. CHECK-IN PROCESS The check-in process is simple with an iPad at the studio entrance. For first-timers, the instructor will give an overview of the equipment before class begins. BATHROOMS The bathrooms are clean and well-maintained. They are located down the hall and shared with neighboring offices and studios. PARKING There are about 15-20 parking spots next to the building. Additional parking is available a couple of blocks away, with street parking options as well.

This will allow me to try out the different styles and instructors here. I was thrilled to see that one of the classes is similar to Ashtanga. I chose this as my first class because I was looking for a more intense workout. The instructor ensured I was doing the postures correctly and helped me with the more difficult ones. I also liked that there were an equal number of men and women from all backgrounds practicing together. I still feel great (albeit slightly sore) the day after my first class.

If you are looking to go to an OTF in northern Virginia, I would go elsewhere…read more I signed up with a founders rate at another local OTF studio whose opening has been delayed - I'm supposed to get a free HR monitor when it opens. I had been a member back in Chicago pre-pandemic 2.5 years ago, but gave it up due to COVID concerns. They checked and since it was over 6 months, I was eligible for the founders rate. Given the delays, they were able to secure a temporary membership for 1-2 months with their sister studio at the regular price, but said I could go anywhere, so I've been going to Dunn Loring, as it's the closest one to my work. My home studio said I could borrow a HR monitor until i received mine when they open- I called Dunn Loring and confirmed this was true, I went about 10x without issue, borrowing and returning the HR monitor after the class. Then on Thanksgiving Day, I walked in for the 7am 90 min class and the sales associate told me they couldn't let me borrow a HR monitor anymore. She said they had "found out" that I was a member in Chicago (2+ years ago, where I lived previously) and now the sister studio temporary membership, and that they never should have let me borrow a HR monitor and that I "had cost them about $200 in revenue at this point". They went on to say that they had called my new home studio -- but oddly didn't bother to email me or call me at that point, instead throwing accusations at me on THANKSGIVING MORNING and trying to make it seem like I did something dishonest and sketchy when I literally did nothing wrong. I find working out to be pretty intimidating and enjoyed the friendly OTF community. I really liked the coaches and how close it was to my job, but that encounter soured the entire experience for me. OTF was great stress relief for me, but I can't imagine walking past that hostile front desk ever again. I emailed afterwards and cc'd both my new home studio and the Dunn Loring studio - even though my new studio was wonderful and reassuring the experience there will be different, there has been radio silence from Dunn Loring. Anyway there are a ton of studios in the area and it's probably better to visit another one instead.

I am moving to CA at the end of the month and am so sad to be leaving this gym.

Finding this location based off Waze app was a little interesting. Brings you to Tesla building. You have to drive to the end of Tesla building and then you will see a sign for "Tyson's playground." I can see how parking would be come an issue if I wanted to sign up here. But honestly after not even being able to get into the facility due to no staff to ring me in, I lost interests all together.
