    YMCA you have got to do better
    Kassie E.

    The gym rooms are compartmentalized. It's small spaces and I'm always bumping into someone. But I can work with it cause its the only nearest gym in Takoma Park. If you can stand the downtown traffic for the SS Sports Club I'd suggest going there but the Y works for me. The staff is friendly and I feel like I'm at home. I love the yoga classes especially with Diane on Sunday mornings.

    Jail cell wall? No its the dungeon-like one at the SS Y *thumbs down*

    Whomever is in charge of cleaning is doing a bad job. I have a very bad infection and I'm directed to this being the one possible vector.

    If I could give a 0/10 I would. Unfortunately my exit from this company was very traumatizing. I…read morewill say the coaches and (some) of the front desk people were cool, but the management team is a complete nightmare. I initally cancled my membership back in march due to a sentive vulnerable medical reason which i explained to the staff. The staff somehow cohersed me into freezing my membership rather than canceling it. When they gave me this option, I was very hesitant because I just didn't know if freezing would make the most sense being that I don't know what the future of my health would be, but they convinced me to freeze my account, leaving out the fact that that means I would be committing to a new month once I came back and finished the month that I had frozen. I will admit that I did not fully understand the freeze process and I missed a lot of information regarding so, there was a lot of miscommunication on both parts and when I tried to get it resolved with the management team it was a horrible conversation. As soon as I got on the phone, the "manager" had a very condescending tone and when I tried to explain why I was upset and confused she kept cutting me off and talking over me. And when I met her with the same energy, she tried to spin it like I was the problematic one. she was not listening to understand, but rather continued on with the conversation to state "facts" and read from her false notes. She gaslighted me the entire time, kept saying "you keep talking over me" as if she wasn't doing the same exact thing, invalidated my experience and feelings just to prove a "point" Breanna or Brenna whatever your name is, if you are reading this, I want you to know that you lack conflict resolution skills, you lie a lot and manipulate your words to prove your point, which tells me that you lack integrity and communication skills. I left the conversation in tears, and later had a horrible panic attack because of how traumatizing that conversation was. She almost even conned me into keeping my membership with them and "waving the fee" something that was never offered to me before . I almost fell for it, but after my panic attack, I reflected on the conversation and realized that I do not want to patronize a business that has that type of management team. It lets me know that if there is an issue, it will be poorly handled because of the type of person the manager is. if you have any sort of auto immune disease that is induced by stress like myself, then I definitely do not recommend this studio because they will send you straight into a flare just like they did with me. I lost out on $200 but I would rather let that money go to waste than to be affiliated with a management team that treats and talk to their members like trash. The management team is more concerned with making their quota than actually doing what's best for their members.

    Ultimate Performance Personal Trainers - Bethesda

    What can I say about UP Bethesda? I honestly feel like I got my wings back---wish I'd made the…read moredecision sooner! So I'm an 48-year-old IT professional and when I first walked into Ultimate Performance Bethesda in late October 2025, I was sitting at about 216 lbs 6 ft tall and roughly 29% body fat--pretty standard unkempt dad bod. Post Covid life had just crept up on me the last 5 years or so and hated what I saw in the mirror . Fast forward five months to later and I'm now @ 178 lbs and sub 18% body fat (It's Late March 2026 now). Honestly, it's been an amazing transformation and I didn't think I'd get such results so quickly. What really stands out about UP is their approach. The training is very focused on hypertrophy, but more importantly, they are big on form and technique. Every rep matters, and they make sure you're doing things the right way. On top of that, their nutrition guidance is super dialed in. They keep it very precise with calorie tracking, which makes a huge difference because that's where most of the results come from. All of the trainers there are experienced and know what they're doing, but I especially want to call out my trainer Mo (Mohammed Ahmed). He's been awesome--great motivator, very knowledgeable, and he knows exactly how to push you without overdoing it. I'm honestly so encouraged by the progress that I'm sticking with it through the summer to try and get to my best shape ever. Yes, it's not cheap--but if you actually follow the program (diet, steps, training), you will get results. Think of all the wasteful "training sessions" you've done at your local gym. It's all basically a waste. You simply won't get these kind of results---no way. The UP method guarantees results----how far you take it though is entirely dependent on you ! Even committing to 3 months here will put you in a much better place than where you started. Highly recommend!!!

    Incredible Experience with Mo (Ahmed Mohammed) at Ultimate Performance…read more As a physician and someone who contributes regularly on media regarding health and wellness, I've had the opportunity to explore countless fitness programs and approaches. But nothing--and I mean nothing--compares to the experience I've had training with Ahmed Mohammed, better known as "Mo," at Ultimate Performance. When I first started with Mo, I was looking to regain strength and lose weight in a sustainable, science-backed way. What I found was not just a trainer, but a partner in my health journey. Mo's understanding of the human body, his clinical-level attention to form, and his obsessive focus on injury prevention are exactly what set him apart. As a doctor, that attention to biomechanics and safety isn't just appreciated--it's essential. With Mo, I've not only shed pounds I thought I'd never lose, but I've gained a level of strength, confidence, and mobility I hadn't felt in years. He's methodical, incredibly observant, and knows exactly when to push and when to scale--something that requires real expertise. He tracks every rep, every improvement, and every variable, so the results are never left to chance. Beyond his technical skill, Mo brings genuine positivity and relentless focus. You feel like your goals become his goals. And that kind of accountability and encouragement makes the difference between a temporary fix and a life-changing transformation. For anyone who values precision, safety, and performance--and especially for those of us who've spent time talking about what "health" really means--Mo is the gold standard. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

    This gym is hands down the best in the area. I'm really glad I tried free passes at multiple gyms…read morebefore getting a membership here, so I can confidently say that. It's the largest Anytime Fitness I've ever been to, and never feels crowded. The staff are friendly and helpful, always saying hi, and the place is kept very clean. You can tell they really care about the gym. There are many new machines and lots of space to work out. The bathrooms are typical of an Anytime, pretty small, but I've come to the gym at all hours and there's never a wait for the bathroom or showers. It's on the pricier side for a monthly membership, but definitely worth it!

    A few months after becoming a member, I tried spinning classes, which were fun and challenging. I…read moresoon noticed the seats, set parallel to the floor, didn't fit my anatomy. I was sliding forward uncomfortably. I brought a wrench, raised the front of (just)one seat a notch, and then it didn't feel as if I were struggling to stay on. I chose the narrowest, least padded style, similar to a racing bike saddle. The owner told me I was the only one who preferred that kind. There used to be a 'needs fixing' sheet for members to list equipment problems. Some had written complaints that the bike seats were 'tipped.' So, the staff flattened all the seats. I went to Lee, the manager, and asked politely if I could have one seat (just one seat!) adjusted to my comfort. I was met with an expression of surprise and mild annoyance. Denied. The classes were never full so nobody would've been forced to use a 'tipped' seat. But even if all the bikes in the spinning studio had been taken, there were four more in other parts of the gym, which I never saw in use simultaneously. One seat on any of those could've been adjusted without forcing anyone to use a 'tipped' seat. And of course, the seat posts are interchangeable. So, on it went: I'd adjust a single saddle, a staff member would flatten it, and the charade would begin anew. I politely raised the issue with Ruby, the owner; she said she'd put a note on a saddle to not flatten it. A week later she reneged, implying Lee wouldn't allow it. The reasoning: If one was changed, then all could be changed and Lee wasn't willing to deal with that. Denied again. BUT, he accommodated all those who complained about 'tipped' seats. That's not fair. He could've easily worked with me and gotten to 'yes.' The seats are adjustable for a reason. The entire business is BASED on human anatomy, including its--ahem--variations. I was 'nudged' by the former manager shortly after starting my membership. Under my original 4-star rating on this page, she added a note asking me what it would take to add a fifth star. Consistent, prolonged and respectful treatment as a valued member, I would've told her. But, my reasonable requests were repeatedly ignored. A couple of the staff(K and K) seemed to view me as demanding, difficult, and treated me with veiled hostility. And then there's this: The two managers, Lee & Jen, plus Lee's wife, wrote 5-star reviews on this page. These are conflict of interest violations per Google usage rules. Owner Ruby added praise and thanks below these 'reviews.' P.S. The managers' illegitimate reviews and owner-added comments have been deleted. October 2023.
