Fantastic box, Amazing coaches, large space, and challenging Workout Of the Day…read more The coaches are fantastic. Jeff and Julie are amongst the best crossfit coaches I've ever had the opportunity to train with. They break down each movement down to its most simple step in order to ensure you complete the movement correctly, helping prevent injury and making you stronger. There are always 2 coaches in every class I've attended, sometimes 3 coaches; this gives you a lot of one on one attention! The box is big with loads of space. When class has a lot of people you still do not feel "crowded." They have a good number of bars at all levels (45, 35, and even 25lbs). The plates are in good shape and in the first 2 months there I've seen new ones come in. Plenty of rack space. Oh and a nice stretch mat! The other athletes are pretty cool people. There are some serious athletes at this box but there are also plenty of regular people and even some children. You decide how hard you want to go. There is no judging or intimidation but lots of POSITIVE reenforcement. I love the 2 "big ass fan" helping keep the place cool. Give this place a try regardless of you experience level.

There are enough athletes at every level to give you something to aspire to. The coaches are approachable and programming never gets boring. There are sometimes time-caps but they are not strictly enforced if you want to go beyond them. There are areas in the back to do stretching and finish up if you want to. You can also do your own work out there if you don't want to do the class (needs 24/7 access level.) I love the Sunday workout. It is usually more cardio, a bit more relaxed, usually almost full, and everyone just having a great time during and after the exhausting workout. CrossFit Fairfax is truly the church of my family - just a great group of coaches and athletes united in a desire to get and stay physically and mentally healthy. CrossFit Fairfax is very reasonably priced for the area with family and military discounts. There is a 24/7 option that gives you access to the gym anytime on your own ($15/mo extra.)

I've been a member at VIDA Fitness for about a year now, and my mom is actually a founding member,…read moreso I've seen the gym from both a long-term and more recent perspective. When I first joined, the experience felt aligned with the "luxury" brand they promote. The classes are still a highlight because they're engaging, well-run, and one of the main reasons I've stayed. I also genuinely like the bar area, and most of the food I've had has been solid. That said, the biggest issue for me, and it's a major one... is cleanliness. It's honestly disturbing to see the same stains on the gym floors day after day. I understand the flooring is a neutral color, but that's not an excuse for it to look visibly dirty all the time. The areas near the windows and equipment are especially bad. At $200/month, I expect a consistently clean facility, and that standard is not being met. The bathrooms are no better. The floors often look stained and unclean, and there are almost never toilet seat covers available in the women's restroom. It feels like basic upkeep is being missed regularly. The cold plunge has also been an issue!! I've gone to use it before and noticed a visible film, which made it completely unusable. That shouldn't happen in a facility marketed as high-end. On top of that, the staff isn't particularly welcoming or attentive, which adds to the overall disconnect between the brand and the actual experience. To be fair, not all of this falls solely on the gym.. many members don't wipe down equipment after using it. But that's exactly why there needs to be stronger oversight and more consistent cleaning protocols in place. During the summer, the rooftop pool gets extremely crowded. The pool itself is nice, but it's clear they need more staffing during peak months. Service becomes very slow, which takes away from what could otherwise be a great amenity. As someone who works in facilities and understands operations, this feels like a management issue. There needs to be more attention to daily maintenance, cleaning standards, and overall quality control. Right now, it simply does not reflect the luxury experience being advertised. I'm willing to give it a little more time to improve, but based on my experience so far, I would rate it a 2.5 out of 5

The Reston VIDA is such a vibe. Overall, it's super clean and usually pretty dead (which is nice)…read more I've taken two heated yoga classes with Stefania and really enjoyed them. She gives a variety of posture options so that you can practice at your level. The music is very regular but given the location and demographic, I get it . Lol Every staff member I've interacted with has been pretty nice. They offer courtesy locks at the front desk if you forget yours. They also offer validation, but if you move too quickly past the front desk, you probably won't notice the little scanner that allows you to just scan your thing. Unfortunately, I paid for parking my first time here because I didn't know and nobody told me, but it's all good. I will say, this location is very different from all other Vida locations I have been to. This one definitely gives a more luxurious feel and can honestly be treated quite a bit like a spa. My main complaints are as follows: the actual restroom section of the locker rooms need work. There is absolutely no reason that every time I have been there, I struggle to find a stall with toilet seat covers. Usually, there is only one stall that is stocked with toilet seat covers. And several of the other stalls are usually full of unflushed feces and urine. Also, I do not know what the small towel situation is here. The first time I came, they had literally no towels. I even asked the front desk and they informed me that they did not have any at that time. Very weird because locations like the one on U St. always have a ton. The next time I came, their towel offerings looked very sad. They had like two or three in each little shelf section of the towel shelf. Again, not what I'm used to from Vida. Important notes: -the steam room and sauna are both co-ed. You've been warned. I was a little shocked the first time I went in there and saw that it was full of men. Some of them were literally just wrapped in a towel from the waist down. No thank you. -they have an ice bath, which is amazing. I enjoy my time in there. You are supposed to make reservations through the app. However, I have been walked in on multiple times despite having the door closed while being there. I also see people just walk in randomly to use it and when I check the app, there are still reservations for that timeslot, so it seems like people just use it whenever they want. I do not like that. Overall, it's a really nice location. You can tell it's newer and they are still working out some kinks. But please get some toilet seat covers.

After moving to VA from TX a little over a year ago, I made a decision to really work on taking…read morebetter care of myself and getting physically fit. Two of my co-workers were going to this gym, and both highly recommended it. The gym did an open boot camp session and I went and got to meet some of the people that already go to the gym, and to see the trainers in action. I was highly impressed and new I wanted to sign up for a series of personal training sessions. I have been going now for almost 2 months and my trainer is Sarah. I have not missed a session, and from my past history with personal trainers, this is a true indication of how much I enjoy working out here. Each session Sarah challenges me to do more and my strength, stamina, core and balance areas are all strengthening. Being handicapped, I was worried about keeping up, or not being able to do certain exercises. Sarah customizes training for me, is very patient and continues to encourage me to do more than I think I can. I recommend this gym if you are looking to work with people that are committed to helping you become the best physical self you can be. Joel, Maya and Sarah make you feel like family, and continually encourage you. Additionally the people that come to the gym are always in a good mood and enjoy their time there. It is a positive and encouraging atmosphere that produces results.

Disappointing experience. I finally worked up the courage to go into Fusion to inquire about…read morepersonal training. The manager took my information to send via text information about pricing, contract terms and conditions, etc. that I asked about when I walked in. I received only pricing information the same day (Wednesday, 6 Sep). I replied via text same day with thanks and asked if Joel was available the following week for the initial assessment and was told that if anything opened up, I'd receive a text (and that another trainer might be available). I responded that I didn't mind waiting for Joel and said the waiting list is fine, but could I get on the schedule for his next available opening -- just to be sure there was something confirmed on the calendar at some point because what if I couldn't make it to a spontaneous opening. I did not hear back. So I followed up via text two days later, Friday, 8 Sep... I kindly reiterated that I'm happy to have my name on a waiting list, but could I also just secure a date for an available time in the future -- even if it's a couple weeks away -- for the peace of mind ... otherwise I'd just consistently have to hope that something might open up and that my schedule would align (a likely challenge!). The manager responded and thanked me for my patience, again saying she'd try to get me in next week and that Joel is booked. AGAIN, I said that I didn't mind waiting, but could I Please. Just. Schedule. A. Known. Open. Slot. (in addition to the waiting list, fine). Once more, the manager either missed or disregarded my point entirely, saying once again that she would try to get me in soon and to be patient. Two and a half weeks later, and I haven't heard back since... Patience wasn't the issue -- I said multiple times that I didn't mind at all to wait (I didn't expect him to be available the next day!); I just wanted to secure a future spot without relying on the hope of a random opening. That's not unreasonable for a person with a full-time job. I spoke with a friend whose experience reflected a similar challenge--said that every week, it was a struggle to get on the trainers' calendars. Seems they've got plenty of business to keep everyone busy, so that's great for them as a small business in a competitive industry, but boy am I disappointed at this approach to business operations and (prospective) customer service. I was excited about picking up my wellness journey here; it's a shame.

The facilities included eight treadmills, four ellipticals, four recumbent bikes, four upright bikes and two rowing machines (concept 2 model D). If I still lived in the area I would be a member! Since I don't live there I am glad they have a daily rate for when I visit.
