This is the worst maintained facility in OneLife I have ever been to. For more than 3 days we have…read morebeen without towel service because of a dryer failure. One of the hydrobeds was out of commission, one of the two RedLight recovery rooms was out as well. The manager was rude, defiantly caustic to me upon hearing these complaints. Last week they notified patrons that power was out in the locker rooms via email. When I asked the manager to refund my fee, he rudely stated that I should complain to the power utility. He is making the case for switching gyms every time I go to the facility. At the very least this individual should attend classes in hospitality. Save your money and your sanity and pick another gym.

I gave this facility a chance...a full year of membership. But today I'll be canceling. Somehow…read moremanagement thought it would be ok to have someone use BLEACH IN ITS POWDER (A CAUSTIC CHEMICAL) to scrub the BLACK MOLD from the side of the pool INTO THE POOL WHILE PEOPLE WERE STILL SWIMMING INSIDE!!!! This was the last straw. So much poor management I've witnessed throughout my time, especially with the pool. The water is always milky and has an overpowering scent of chlorine which leads me to suspect the pH is very off and they don't properly check and maintain pool cleanliness. They had their cleaning people use strong chemicals to clean the pool deck and windows during open hours. Random times they would shut down the pool without any prior notice via email or postings or otherwise. Lockers rooms always stank. This is not the case at other gyms I've been to. The premier memberships options like the recovery room and towel service were subpar compared to other Onelife facilities. Many times the hydromassage beds were not working and the red light recovery room's ambient temperature was way too hot. They should be offering eye protection for the red light like other facilities instead of just having a sign that says 'use at your own risk.' Plus one of the coat racks in the red light room is chipped and has an exposed nail that had been that way since they opened it (for months now). Their towels are tiny and would only cover the body of a child and are super rough like they overstarched them. Not to mention there were times where the towels ran out and when I asked a staff member about it, they just said that I'll just have to wait. Didn't bother to check if the dryer has clean towels, which it did when I asked a manager.

Been really enjoying this gym so far! It's definitely on the pricier side, but the amount of…read moreequipment, space, amenities, and how clean/well maintained everything is makes it feel worth it. Staff is super friendly, the music is good (not too loud), and the overall atmosphere feels calm. Afternoons get pretty packed, but mornings are much better. Love that they have saunas too. Only downside: no phone number, email being the only contact option is a little annoying. Other than that, great gym overall!

But the equipments take up a lot of floor space if you just need to stretch or do kettle bell workouts.

I have been training with Mariam for over two years, which has been the best health and fitness…read moredecision I've ever made. Mariam has crafted workout routines that were tailored to my ability and pushed me to reach my initial fitness goals and milestones. With each reached milestone, Mariam has assisted me with the development of new fitness goals. I train with Mariam once a week and each session contains workout routines that are both fun and challenging. Mariam also provides me with weekly "homework" workouts.  What I appreciate about Mariam as a trainer is that she pays attention to detail. She ensures that my form and technique is correct, provides advice on ways to improve nutrition, and is passionate and dedicated to her clients' fitness and health journey. Mariam is a trainer and fitness expert in every sense of the word! Since training with Mariam, my gains have been visible.

I immediately felt at-ease and comfortable that he was an expert in his field. I have now been training with Kevin for over a year and it is so worth the time.

There aren't a million machines to try to learn! Kevin is able to use the gym equipment in so many different ways to tailor each workout to what you need that day. I have never felt stronger or more comfortable in my own skin than the last year working with Kevin.

Previously I was doing workouts on my own and CrossFit, however always ended up being injured. We worked on form, lots of variety in our workouts (eg Indian clubs, kettlebells, etc), and progression. It's never static. Despite not dying/injured after every workout, I've become stronger and more fit in every aspect of my body. PT should push you in just the right way not to overdo it but to condition and strengthen you! I've been doing personal training sessions and it's been a game changer for me. Very affordable. Plus weekends I do a couples workout with my partner as a bonding experience. They offer small classes as well in person and online. Addicted to their Hyrox and kettlebell classes, currently, and breaking through my plateaus! My shoulder pain I've had for 2 years is completely gone. Love it here at FuncFit!!

The bathrooms and locker rooms are well-designed and clean, and the co-ed sauna and steam room are a major plus. The filtered water stations are always cold and well-maintained, and the smoothie bar is convenient. The reception staff are always friendly! SweatBox is intense, well-structured, and thoughtfully run. The music and variety keep me coming back. Providing ear plugs and cold eucalyptus towels are the many small touches that go a long way during this high-energy HIIT workout. Coach Gwen and Coach Mike are excellent instructors -- clear, motivating, and attentive to form. There are 3 other class studios and dozens of more fitness classes. I have enjoyed the yoga classes, especially Restorative and Deep Stretch. Chris also runs a great BodyPump class -- strong pacing and consistent energy. Overall, VIDA Ballston combines diverse programming with quality facilities and good service. Yes things break or require maintenance, but the team is constantly communicating this and working to upkeep their facility. Highly recommend!

They have a wide variety of gym equipment and weight, squat racks, etc. they also offer personal training, which I have met a few of the trainers who are super nice and welcoming.

I am so happy here. I've been coming to Foundation for about 3 months for training once a week, and…read moreI feel that my form in weightlifting has improved tremendously. I train primarily with Patrick (who is the co-owner), and I've also trained with Angelo a few times. Both are amazing to work with and so positive and upbeat (even when they are making you lift hundreds of pounds!). They push you hard and encourage you to build confidence to try things you didn't think you could do. Patrick has a remarkable gift with remembering names, and he is constantly circling the gym checking in with people about their goals and how they are doing in their lives, both in and outside of the gym. You can tell he knows personally and cares about every single member, and he makes an effort to recognize and celebrate every single person there. It's a small fitness community, so everyone also knows each other and supports each other. People are always cheering for each other if someone across the room hits a PR or does something amazing or new. Patrick also makes a point of welcoming new members by introducing them to people and checking in to make sure they feel welcome. Being at Foundation is the highlight of my week, and in the few months I've been there, I've already hit new milestones and PRs I didn't think I was capable of. I really love it here!

Even though they aren't my trainers, they're very engaging, fun to be around, supportive, and are a part of my fitness journey. Steven has a great attitude and impeccable customer service. I'm glad I chose Foundation Fitness because I don't think I'd be as committed to working out if I didn't start here. A welcoming, challenging (but not in a scary way), fun, focused, and collaborative environment have been key to my success so far. Whether you're an exercise newbie or serious bodybuilder these capable trainers will help you achieve your goals and set new ones. Bonus: all the clients I've met are really cool too. Lastly, an honorable mention to Angelo (now at a different location): he's a great trainer, kind person, and very knowledgeable. COME TRY FOUNDATION FITNESS!!!

I have been a member of Gold's Gym for over 20 years. We started at the original Bailey's…read moreCrossroads location, then Seven Corners, and then the new Bailey's location. If it was not for the personal trainer my wife uses, there is a strong possibility we would change to another gym. There are a decent number of machines, free weight stations, etc., but since the location opened (I think 2 years now?) I have not seen one new piece of equipment. Suggestions to management appear to go unnoticed. As for the free weights, they are often scattered amongst all of the machines or stations, and no one seems to ever clean them up. As for managers, I have not seen a single one last more than a month. That is if you can even find one. Currently I have been trying to convert my membership to Silver Sneakers. The front desk personnel say I need to speak with a manager. They also say that they have not seen the current manager for days. Maybe that is why there has been no toilet paper in the restrooms, the hand sanitizers by the front doors have been empty, and I can't make the transition. I did go to the main webpage for DC Gold's Gyms to use the Member Services link (as instructed by someone I spoke with and by the AI operator). What I loved was clicking on it and only getting a Cancel Membership screen. Not a great way to keep your members when the services is to ask for them to cancel. In addition, there is no other way to contact the main owners of these metro gyms on the web page. Are they tired of hearing from their members? Again, other than the lack of management, investment in keeping this gym interesting with new or changed equipment, the people that do work here are great, especially folks like Jay at the front desk and John the personal trainer (the best!). Hopefully this will get the attention of the owners.

This review is long overdue, because I've been working out with Bobby since late July, and by…read moremid-September, I've gained 2.2 pounds of muscle, decreased my body fat by 1.3%, and increased my basal metabolic rate. These may not sound a lot, but I was already lean (female, 20.9% body fat) and I'm very petite, so even 0.5 pound of muscle gain isn't easy for me, let alone in such a short time. In fact, Bobby may be the first trainer who doesn't want me to get leaner but to gain some weight to be healthier... and because of that, I trust that he has my best interest in heart. These stats show the results - which is why we seek dedicated personal trainers in the first place, but what also matters to me is that Bobby truly cares about my health, my athletic performance, more than looking good. I also really enjoy working out with Bobby in Cygma because I feel like an elite athlete here. First of all, Bobby has tons of fun and effective workouts. He uses a combination of weights, circuits, cardio, and equipment. Training with Bobby is never boring or static. Second, Cygma also has great equipment and a very athletic vibe. It's definitely not a regular gym. I've had trainer in the past and I still see dozens of trainers in my apartment's gym. Bobby is at an entirely different level with his strategies, movement, and tools. I joke that the other trainers and gyms are very "vanilla" whereas Bobby/Cygma is like "triple-espresso double-chocolate with whatever toppings that suit your body." Though Bobby challenges me quite a bit, he also takes into consideration my injuries, body conditions, past hormonal issues, and adjusts the training, which I always appreciate. I'm also amazed at the depth and breadth of nutrition knowledge that Bobby possesses. Being an avid reader of all sorts of nutrition tips and news, I thought I'd known enough and didn't initially sign up for Bobby's nutrition training; however, during one month in which I injured my shoulder and had some hormonal issues coming back, Bobby sat me down and calculated the macros that I should be eating - he also imparted important stress management skills, which turned out to be key to improving my overall health and fitness. Best of all, Bobby gave me all the knowledge without extra charge and he asked me not to obsess. Now, I really enjoy chatting with Bobby about nutrition, destressing, sleep, fitness, etc., while training. One of Bobby's biggest strengths (there are many) is that he's very articulate, and since he knows a lot and is very logical, he's good at looking at things from multiple perspectives and breaking down data and information in easy-to-digest bits and pieces, which I always appreciate. Bobby's passion for nutrition, fitness, and service is also very contagious. Finally, I really appreciate that Bobby respects where I am - I only train with Bobby once per week due to my current budget and super busy work and lifestyle, but Bobby said he'd make sure that I get the value out of this one hour each week, which is true. Though eventually I hope to train a bit more with Bobby, currently, I feel more motivated and effective even in my own sessions without Bobby. He taught me so much since the beginning. I cannot recommend Bobby enough. If you are serious about your health and your physique, and you want to have fun while seeing results, and you want to feel like an elite athlete with reasonable payment, definitely try Bobby and Cygma!
