Rating corporate gyms in the DMV area solely off the one thing that matters to me: temperature. I…read morejust moved here about a year ago, and the one thing I've noticed is that no gyms in this area are cooled properly. Yes--cooled. The temperature should be from 60-65, and anyone getting a good sweat and workout in would understand why that's ideal. Here, I was literally dripping sweat after a couple of sets on the leg press. No cardio before. Ridiculous. Oh, and the towels to dry off all the sweat? They were full size. That's all they had. No regular towels for the hot gym that causes you to drip sweat. I've lived in Texas, California, and Arizona--all of which were just as if not more hot than the DMV, with sufficiently cooled gyms. All I keep getting from gyms around here when I ask are excuses. I'm tired of it. It's unacceptable for a large corporate gym. If anyone knows of a COLD gym to lift at please, let me know.

I called the club and asked to cancel, they referred me to their Gm who confirmed via email that my membership was cancelled (with 30 days notice which was fine with me). Life is good right? Then the drama starts... This email was on 3/11/25 so any reasonable person would thing it was cancelled 4/11/25. Instead they hit my Amex on 4/25/25 for the nexts months membership. I email the GM multiple times with no response (again I'm now traveling constantly so coming in person is not an option). Finally at my wits end I dispute with Amex. Amex approves the dispute with my proof in writing (and blocks all further charges from them). Then not only did they ghost me. Their 3P harasses me for payment on a membership I have clearly cancelled (in writing). And threatens me with collections. When I forwarded them the written confirmation of cancellation they stated that it wasn't sufficient and not in the clubs policy - I have to pay $450+ despite having written documentation my cancellation. WHAT?! So hear me out - an employee, at the club. With a club email said my membership was cancelled. Why am I now being threatened with collections for $450+ because of this and they refuse a Golds gym email as proof of cancellation! No one will call me back from the gym, and their 3P is abysmal. This is the horror story you hear about gym memberships. People screw up, but honor the screw up - especially when it's in writing. Spend the $ and go to equinox - this gym and their admin function is trash

I remember once time she informed me that I had a sprained ankle. Mind you I had went to urgent care a few days before and they couldn't tell me what was wrong with my ankle. Smh... and I never even shared this info with Tina so for her to explain to me how my ankle was inflamed and I should be careful running before I injure it more, I was impressed. She also puts me to sleep with her massages. :::)))) best naps ever! Can't wait to come again!!!! Happy Yelping!

He is an…read moreexcellent trainer who will push you to perform to the best of your abilities.  His passion for educating others on health and fitness is inspiring. Chickaro is extremely knowledgeable and his experience is evident. He helps you really understand the movements, connecting your mind and body in a ways that helps you learn just how the move should feel, targeting your muscles in a way that gets results! Chickaro has really good energy, positive and calm which support his teaching of form. He encourages you to perform movements slow and controlled, really targeting specific muscles, helping you to feel good form and understand how to perform moves of increasing complexity while still maintaining good form.  His attitude is always positive and supportive. He's not one of those trainers who will yell at you or force you to abandon solid form for speed. His smile goes a long way to making workouts fun. His experience and enthusiasm show through; you can tell he thoroughly enjoys teaching and spreading the message of health and fitness.  My physical fitness (muscles, form, endurance, and recovery) have all greatly increased since I began working out with Chickaro!

Hands down this is still the hardest workout I've ever done. I've taken over 80 classes and it…read morestill kicks my butt every time. It's a serious core workout but you definitely still workout your arms and lower body, specifically your glutes. The moves can be a little tricky but the instructors try to put you next to people that have attended a number of classes. Also once you register for a class you only have 10 hours before that class to cancel without a $30 fee. Pro tip: If you really want to see change in your body I would recommend doing your first month unlimited and try to go at least 15x. I know it sounds like a lot but I lost 7 lbs, inches all over and toned up!

Tried a class here on classpass and lived through it to tell the tale!…read more Instructor was friendly, encouraging, and upbeat, which made the workout that much easier. It was difficult to hear her at times, and/or understand the form or what to do next. I think that may be a given if you're new to the machine. The workout itself was challenging but fun, and made me ache for 3-4 days after. There is really an intense focus on your core, and that's something I usually don't work out in my typical gym session. Only downside is that the classes are quite expensive, and can be super challenging for a beginner (a bit difficult to scale down). Overall, I recommend trying this out to see if you like (and can survive) pilates on crack.

I found DivaDance in a random Google search of dance classes in the area, and my expectations have been absolutely surpassed in every sense. DivaDance is such a wonderful community, and every class is such a comfortable and judgement free zone (which is important when you are throwing it down and shamelessly trying new moves & choreo). DivaDance has been amazing for my work-life balance, and for pushing my homebody self to step away from my computer, get moving / trick my body into exercising, and meet new people!! As a side note, DivaDance classes always feature really amazing & wonderful women, as a woman in STEM I don't see a small number in my daily life, so dance has always been my favorite way to meet more diverse sets of people, and DivaDance has certainly been a great source of this in my life since they value empowerment and confidence.
