Hands down, the best gym in the area. I've got three degenerative discs in my lower back, and Pete…read moreand Lisa have trained me for over two years while working around my specific issues. Lisa is a nurse with a masters in exercise science, and Pete is a former trainer for Army Rangers. In short, they know their stuff (unlike so many trainers at Big Box gyms who take two month certification course and then offer pseudoscientific advice that results in injury). Since working out with them, my back problems have drastically decreased, while my overall fitness has increased. And not only are they great trainers, they're great people! The gym itself is great. It's small, but it has all the equipment anyone would need for a workout, and they have several unique machines I haven't seen elsewhere. Plus, it's quiet and just has a better feel/vibe than so many corporate places. They don't have rows and rows of bikes, treadmills, etc.; it's not that kind of gym. It's a local business that specializes in personalized training for people who are serious about their health and fitness. If you're looking to get in shape (or in better shape, but with people who know their stuff and can guide you in your path to improvement), do yourself a favor, and hire Pete or Lisa to train you. For me, that decision has been one of the best investments I've ever made. In short, I can not recommend these guys enough!

I have previously worked with personal trainers. However, when I moved to Woodbridge I decided to…read morejoin a big name gym and do it alone. After a few years of throwing money at something I was not really utilizing, I decided to try personal training again and turned to Core Effects. Following my initial assessment, Ariana advised me to join their small women's group to slowly build my strength as my body transitioned out of the sedentary rut I had been in. The small women's group has been the best money I have spent on my health. The times and the program work for me. And I especially enjoy the personal attention and challenge of the exercise routines. Core Effects has really helped me reassess how I look at my health. After the first month of doing the training, I immediately noticed how less tired I was. Over time, I have also noticed how much more muscle and strength I have. I highly recommend Core Effects and the small women's training group to any woman looking to get serious about their health.

There should be a clothing requirement as that is so unsanitary how she spreads her cheeks across that room and makes everyone leave. Members should not be subjected to this to use a OneLife gym. I've never experienced this at any other gym which is why i felt the need to write this. This gym could use better management and hours that are not so restricting giving the traffic in this area.

I want to start off by saying that I am currently a member of the gym and I have been for quite…read moresome time. I am rating the gym ok at 3 stars for a variety of reasons. I am going to start out with the worst thing or most disliked thing about the gym is the programming. The programming has no cycling to it and it seems completely random. You will do a weightlifting movement building strength in some form of rep scheme and then never touch it again workout for months. I have taken the CrossFit level 1 Certificate Course and that is not the way CrossFit is to be programmed. Second thing on programming is the workouts themselves. I would say at least 50% of the workouts have movements in them that only 1% of the gym can accomplish (ring muscle ups, bar muscle ups, chest to bar, rope climbs, etc) and there is no training for outside the 10 minutes or so in the class. Finally I will refer to the workouts again. The workouts that are programmed make you very susceptible to injury. What I mean by this is that one high rep movement, high rep squat movement and then the very next day you will do the same movement with another workout (high rep squats day one and then snatch squats Just yesterday on January 23rd the workout included 150 wall-ball workout and then today January 24th you have programming where 185lbs is over your head squatting with a barbell (another example of 1% of the class being able to do the movement or lift the prescribed weight). As someone who been injured before repetitive movements is where it starts and it will not go away. I will weight the equipment at a 5 and that is what holds my score up to a 3 overall. Almost all of the equipment is Rogue Fitness which is a great brand with one object here and there that is not. I rate the the coaching at a 3 because most of them are nice and truly care for you when it comes to working out and safety but some of them have no idea what they are talking about in regards to weightlifting or cardio work. They do not want you talking to any other gym member about how you learned something (weightlifting, cardio, double-unders, etc). The training has to come from them from their mouth otherwise you are potentially be called out for saying anything. I also find disappointing that they want to pick your pockets for any type of training outside of a normal class. I have never seen this in a gym before ever and it is disappointing. With the cost of this membership there should be no reason to do that. Drinks and food are fair enough to charge outside of membership fees because they have an actual retail cost to them. Every gym that I have been to has always has volunteer movement activities and this is my 7th gym I have been a member of. I know CrossFit gyms tend to be more expensive than others but $200 for an unlimited membership and then if you want to learn a new movement with a limited amount of people is ridiculous. Now they recently came out with weightlifting programming and if you want to do it outside of being with a coach you have "apply" like a job interview. The gym is way overpriced for what you get. This is one of 2 gyms in the Dumfries/Woodbridge area so are forced to choose. It is not worth the time or money to charge to teach a movement. Gym manager is a funny guy and I respect him but there needs to be some serious overhaul in the programming and cost to benefit analysis. The gym has recently gone through a change in ownership with same people who were already leading it and I hope it is for the good. I sincerely hope that they are able to make changes, preferably soon.

I am SO excited to share my experience with Absway Fitness. I've been on a long fitness journey for…read moremany years since college trying different diets and fitness approaches. I had my best success with the help of a $$$ trainer in 2013 (200 down to 158 over a year before my wedding). Ten years and four kids later, I'd been working steadily to lose with diet only, but kept plateauing around 170. I avoided gyms and trainers because of the cost, but then a former trainer reached out with an offer I couldn't refuse. Less than $100 for a month-long fitness challenge that included his on-call support (phone and text), exercises that fit in my schedule anytime and required minimal equipment (mat, roller, bands), optional nutritional guidance, and a weekly live group training session using inexpensive equipment I already had in my house. What a deal!! The Absway Challenge really helped me hone in on my goal by adding in an easy-to-follow daily exercise regimen that included cardio and weight bearing exercises that boosted my weight loss over the month and toned me all over. In conjunction with the Dukan diet I was already following, the Absway approach helped me lose 3% body fat and inches all over my body (especially my waist). I had zero expectation going in except that the contest would be fun and that accountability would be helpful on days I didn't want to exercise. I am blown away at how toned my abs are and the muscles I've already built in my arms. In addition, I also made a big fitness goal: a healthy BMI. This is the first time since college over 25 years ago that I'm at a healthy BMI! I can scarcely believe it. I can honestly say I would not have gotten here without the accountability in this group. I made my 30-Day Challenge Goal of 15lbs lost this month which was huge, but the BMI milestone feels so much bigger. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for all of your encouragement, support, and accountability this month. Many days I'm looking at those stairs for the circuit or needing to start my own squat, lunge, plank challenge and thinking "nah- that looks hard. I can just skip it today." But then I think of all of the Absway community who are tackling this with me and it helps me reframe that this seemingly impossible task is only 15-20 minutes in 20-30 second intervals. It is so empowering to know you're beside me and that so empowering and together we FIND A WAY! If you're looking for a jump start to your fitness goal, need to add weight bearing exercise to help build muscle and reduce bone loss, or looking to break a weight-loss plateau with direct support from a trainer and an awesome community, highly recommend.
