I started JB Fitness with a groupon and absolutely fell in love with the classes. The studio is…read moresmall so the class size is not that big so you are able to get a lot of attention. Classes are about 1hr and you are sweating the whole time. Jonese is a great trainer and keeps me motivated the entire time! I highly recommend you come and try out the classes, you will be HOOKED.

Long overdue review, where do I begin?…read more It is very hard finding a personal trainer with their own gym/studio in the upper Marlboro/Clinton/Waldorf area. I found Johnnie Boi Fitness (after the birth of my son and when I was in desperate need of a new community of associates and support). After the website and investigating a la Google, I still needed a push. I begged my husband to gift me my first set of classes. My husband is a negotiating fool. Anyone that can patiently work with him is talented. After his initial call, he called me and said, "I have a feeling you're really going to like this trainer." I do. I love Jonese and the Johnnie Boi Fitness team. What I love most is: 1) Smaller classes that allow for more one-on-one attention. I tend to be disordered and sometimes lacking confidence. I need my trainer to check on me a little. When you're standing behind 25 other people, that can be hard to do. At Johnnie Boi Fitness, it's just the right amount of personalized attention to correct you, push you a little harder and to make sure you're not injuring yourself 2) Guest instructors/class variety - Jonese offers a wide variety of classes. Perfect for someone like me who gets bored eating leftovers. Patrons can try new classes, be it yoga or boxing. These classes can be taught by other fitness experts. This allows you to throw a curve ball in your routine and not hit a plateau. Also, I like a one-stop-shop type of gym without the big Walmart feel---easy to get in, get out, work out and go. Not spend an hour looking for a parking spot, searching inside for the location of your class, and when you get there, everyone is ho hum *yawn*. Ohhh and did I mention that one day, we had hydrolyzed protein shakes made for us post workout. Sooooo good! 3) No worries if you forget something - Just like Hilton, if you forget a toothbrush, the front desk has you covered. Jonese does provide water, towels (very nice ones might I add--and nice hand towels), mats, etc. I try to remember my own supplies, but sometimes, my mind plays tricks on me. Nice to know I won't have to wipe my sweat with my sleeve. 4) Common sense - Jonese has a lot of it. The classes I attend weekly are challenging, but I'm not concerned that I'll have to get knee replacements by age 40. Over the past decade, the number of knee replacements has increased by more than 160%. I'm not concerned that my knees, hips and other joints will require major surgery because Jonese made me do 150 burpees in 10 minutes. 5) Fresh Air - we workout outside too. Nice change of scenario. I'm learning new techniques and workout strategies 6) Cost- Jonese is EXTREMELY reasonable with the cost of her classes for first timers and ongoing patrons. Affordability will never be a concern. In fact, Jonese is very accommodating, humble, friendly, compassionate, intelligent, and professional. 7) The equipment and bathrooms are ALWAYS clean. Lockers are provided to store my purse and other items. 8) The music is respectable- I'm not easily offended and don't care either way, but I love that I can bring my aunts or others to class with me and they won't hear derogatory language. I'm used to working out to Luke "I wanna rock" at home so even if Jonese decided to play a little Future or Tupac, I'm in there. Client for life! I thought I would be intimidated at first and chicken out. Best decision ever was joining Johnnie Boi Fitness! I'm very happy!

Attended the class learned 3 new moves. Instruction was clear well articulated and shown until thorough understanding.

They mentioned they are moving to a new larger gym which is exciting for them as they have a great group of folks training

Coach James is pretty laid back but he's serious when he comes to instructing me and my teammates. I've seen not only my body become stronger and my stamina improve but my skills have definitely gotten better. I've really fallen in love with the sport and a great reason as to why is because of the continuous support from everyone in the gym including coach. We'll have family fight nights and watch the fights together and teammates bring their children along. We also do carpool arrangements to help get each other to different matches, to support the different teammates that are fighting. Coach James is a fair and reasonable guy. Very approachable. Any time I needed support or have had questions for him he has assisted me or partnered me with someone who could sharpen my skills. I'll be coming here for as long as I can. The familial support and the light-heartedness of the gym can't be beat. 1, 2, 3, AMAG!

However, with my 1+ hour commute after work, even trying to get there early is difficult.

I…read morewas going about 3 times a week until my first month ran out and then I purchased the 3 month baby-on-board package. They also have 3 month Bride to Be and new mommy packages. The instructors are all SUPER friendly and helpful from the very start. My favorites are Katie (she's an owner), Carly, Brandy and Jamie. My aunt was the one who suggested Pure Barre to me because she said there were a few pregnant women in her Philly class. I chose to do this over prenatal yoga since I felt like it was a better variety. All the exercises are low impact (with a few pregnancy modifications) and a great muscular workout. I disgaree with a previous reviewer who said it was all repetitive because in the 2 months I've been there they've switched the routine 3 times. The exercises focus on small movements but trust me when I saw that they really really burn! I do cardio other times during the week on my own so I like that I get a good mix of muscle and toning work at Pure Barre. Lift, tone and burn are the motto here and I feel all of that every single time I go! I'm sure some of the complaints about sold out classes are for the night time classes (I usually go in the morning) because I rarely have any problems signing up for the classes I want. Katie told me that they are also opening up a new location in Clarendon which should help some of the volume of Arlington attendants. I HIGHLY recommend that you give Pure Barre a try, you definitely won't regret it!

I have only attended two classes so far, but I already love OTF Carlyle! Abigail and Chelbie made…read moreeverything so easy for my first trial class. Chelbie helped me on my first day and made me feel so welcomed and valued-- I seriously love her! Coach Allie made me feel super comfortable for my first workout and is also so, so nice. Abigail helped me before my last class and she was amazing, as well. Those girls are honestly one of the reasons I love OTF so much already! As far as the workout, it is the perfect intensity for me. It is an AWESOME, challenging workout but everything is doable and you can cater everything to your fitness level. I like seeing my heart rate and being able to easily know when to possibly pull back and when to push harder! I was amazed at how many calories I burned in the class! I don't think I have ever burned so many calories in a single workout! I think the price is very fair for the value. I'm looking forward to many more classes! :)

Never give them your contact information!…read more So my review is mixed. My sister and a friend of mine love orange theory so I decided to give it a try and went to a class. The class itself was a great work out but overall it wasn't a good fit for me. Still-- I can see why a lot of people love orange theory and are losing a ton of weight from doing it. My problem stems from the relentless harassment after I tried the class and decided it wasn't a right fit from me. I get constant calls, texts and emails from them multiple times per week for over a year- no matter how many times I tell them I"m not interested. I have to keep marking the calls and texts as spam and then get calls from another location of theirs the next week. Not even sure why the Vienna location is calling me constantly now as I only ever went to the Carlyle location. So if you are definitely going to join this probably won't be an issue but if you are just trying it out along with other gyms- be wary of giving out your contact info- they will be calling you and texting you for the rest of eternity. Spamming not a great business model.

I've definitely met a lot of people that really love it, which is great. Finding an activity you can stick with is the key! I'd have given more stars, but there are a few things that I wish were different: - It's loud. It's so, so, so loud. I wear earplugs, and even with the earplugs, my tinnitus is roaring after class. I basically flee the building as soon as I can. - Cramped. I wish there was more than 2-3 ft of space per person. People adjust sideway or move around to make it work, but it's weirdly cramped. The instructors are fine. Not much correction or assistance, IME. There's not any gym-chat (maybe partly because it's so loud it'd be very difficult to talk to others). Everyone I've been in classes with seem unwilling to interact. So, not a social/CrossFit-like option. If I could find a good weightlifting class anywhere else, I probably would give up going because of my sensory sensitivities, but for now, it's an okay option.

But the quality of the workout doesn't change. I can personally say that the coaches at this location have helped correct my form, including on the rowers.

I really like that they offer 45 minute classes at noon.
