Small group weight training is top notch, with tailored workouts for to meet your physical (and arguably mental) health needs. Trainers are unbelievably competent and supportive! I have significant health concerns, and I truly believe that this gym is part of the reason I stay well. Also, they have really cultivated community, so I have become friendly with so many of the people who train alongside with me. This gym is a gift to yourself. I hope you check it out soon!

I've been a member of UA since Feb 2016. At the time, I was on the cusp on turning 50 (OK, so you…read moreall know my age now!) and I knew it was (past) time to get serious about my health/fitness. I had done exercise programs on and off (mostly off) over the years. I knew how important exercise was but I hated it. It was either boring, or it wasn't convenient, or it was hard to stay motivated. Today, I have never felt stronger or more confident. In fact, to my huge surprise, when my job was causing serious stress, all I could think was, "I NEED a workout today." I have never said that in my life! The coaches at UA are top-notch professionals. They take their work seriously, celebrate with you, and are encouraging. I look forward to seeing the coaches -- they are energetic, friendly, supportive, and have taught me a tremendous amount. This contributes greatly to me staying motivated to keep coming back and improving. Getting a new program each month also helps stave off the typical boredom of a "regular" gym. Something else that was unexpected but great nonetheless -- there is a wide variety among UA's members (age, gender, physical shape, natural ability, etc.). I am inspired by and feel comfortable around my fellow UA-ers b/c they each face their own challenges. I highly recommend you give UA a shot. (The also have a location in Sterling, VA.)

*Atmosphere: I've been going to Halo Fitness since October…read more2024. For CrossFit specifically, the energy is great, and you get to learn how to do the movements correctly, but at times (mainly when I first started), I've felt a bit judged and lost. It really depends on the instructor and the time you go. Hyrox, on the other hand, is great since you're usually in groups, which makes it feel more structured and supportive. All of the peak instructors I've had have been really friendly and motivating! The owner is also very welcoming and encourages bringing friends, offering a free trial class so you can see if it's a good fit. *Workouts: Classes usually have about 10-25 people, and you can go at your own pace. I typically go 4-6 times a week, switching up which classes I take. When I first started, the workouts felt tough, but over time, they've become much more manageable (results, yay!). Personally, I'm one of the most unmotivated people when working out alone, and they do a great job of encouraging you to show up at least once a week. The classes are a mix of bodyweight exercises, weights, and cardio, so there's always variety. *Pricing: I pay $159 a month for unlimited classes (~$6.65 a class if you go 6 days a week), which also includes 24/7 access and amenities like massage chairs and saunas. When I first started, I was on the $99 plan for two classes a week, which is a good option if you're not ready to commit fully. *Overall Thoughts: Halo Fitness is a great option for anyone looking for that little extra push. If you're new to CrossFit and have the time, I'd HIGHLY recommend going a bit early and asking questions so you don't injure yourself and don't feel so lost walking around, wondering what you need for the workout and which stations aren't taken.

Let me start out by saying that Jon Ces has been a wonderful trainer for more than four years…read more Foundation Fitness on the other hand has been terrible. Their equipment is falling apart. I have asked them to fix or update their equipment since I started there four years ago and they have completely ignored me. I recently moved across the country. I told them In August of 2021 that I would be moving and asked them to stop charging me. They charged me in September, October, and November. In October I asked them again to stop charging me and to refund the charges. They told me they could not do so and then had the audacity to charge me again in November!!! They refuse to refund me and I'm having to dispute the charges with my credit card company. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH FOUNDATION FITNESS

Due to having RA I…read moreexperience limited mobility that caused me to begin to lose strength as I wasn't able to lift heavy objects. Foundation Fitness let me know that they would work with me to find ways to regain strength. Bald Jason has been incredible in helping me the past five months. I went from limited mobility to being able to lift more than I've been able to in years. From Jason's modifications in exercises when needed to his flexibility in modifying days when I'm unable to work on what was planned, I can't recommend Foundation Fitness enough. As a VA transplant, I truly hit the jackpot as a member of this gym family and being able to be trained by the ever optimistic and knowledgeable Bald Jason!

There's a number of large rooms if you want to host a conference or a community fair. There's also a bunch of classes you can sign up for, for a fee. (Vienna residents pay less.) I also like how close this place is to the center of Vienna. You could ride your bike here since the bike trail passes right by it. You could walk here right after going to the library. You could grab lunch and then walk over. You could hop over while your kid is playing baseball. In fact, car is probably the most annoying way to get here since the parking can be a pain, especially if you come during the Saturday morning farmers market when part of the parking lot is closed.

I like the statue of kids reading. There are some nice benches as well. When my son was younger, took him here for a music and puppet show. That was fun and the arts thrive here. Definitely a nice community center, although I wish they could add a few activities.

Staff doesn't want to hear complaints, problems, or issues and to get rid of you they will tell you that they just can't meet your needs. Apparently, enforcing their own rules is just too much to ask of them. I have seen boys in the women's locker room as old as 9 years of age but they do nothing to curb the behavior contributing to this. Better to invest a little more $$$ to go to a nice, well-run facility elsewhere and avoid the stress you're sure to endure at Oakmont.

Onelife gyms expanded to purchase a lot of locations of other region gyms and in doing so their styles differ a bit between gym - which may be jarring for some. But you don't have to notice if you get the cheaper membership with fewer gym choices. Classes are good and offer varied options, but you may have to hunt for which gym works for your time schedule as getting to one on time is a chore with our traffic. Including all the basics you may need and more, like child care optional extras for the families that need it. At this pace this is set to be a good gym for you for the next ten years easily.

I joined for a couple of months and had mixed feelings about the place. The facility is in need of a major overhaul...it could be fabulous. Now- It's dark and dated. Hasn't been updated since the 80's or 90's. The women's locker room in particular is so small and uncomfortable. I really liked the pool itself, though. It was sparkly clean, set at a good temperature, and it's for adults only. You schedule your lane time online. It's actually pretty hard to find a nice pool like this in our area, and this one is really nice. The locker room is small and uncomfortable. Even do, I may go back. The answer may be to skip the locker room entirely? Membership plan was available on a month by month basis, running about $90. There are other plans which cost less monthly but require a 12 month commitment and a membership fee up front. I may well rejoin this place. If things have changed, I will update this review. I want to mention that Yelp has "hidden" a number of 5-star reviews from 2023. I suggest you take a look at those as well.

I primarily play tennis there & have taken many classes in the past. The tennis courts are kept in good shape & are cleaned regularly. The restrooms are also clean.

Also, non-members may take lessons for a slight up-charge over what a member pays for lessons.
