But after getting an initial acknowledgement from them, I hadn't heard back, and I was actively looking for a new gym. So I went with another -- but in fairness, it was only like 12 hours later, and they were really good about it when I told them I'd made other plans. It was just that I needed a new gym soon, as my old membership had just ended. I have a good feeling about these guys, so when the time is right, I'd like to give them another try.

Hear me now and believe me later. Seriously, Christa and Jeff are the founders of Breakaway Fitness. I know there's as many personal trainers in our area as there are cars sitting on the beltway at 5 p.m. What sets them apart? Both are former NCAA Division athletes and Olympians who walk the walk. If you're looking to set a new PR for the Ironman or just don't want to feel out of breath when reaching for the remote, go see them. They're right in the heart of Tysons Corner and their facilities have state of the art equipment, a massage therapist and a sauna. Extra points for being super clean. Also, I LOVE the treadmills with the built-in TV screens... takes my mind off how much longer I have to suffer. Additionally, Jeff and Christa help train a few local college teams.

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.

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.)

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 studio is located in a cozy, vibrant part of Northern Virginia, offering a variety of classes that provide a solid workout every time. The instructors are friendly and attentive, ensuring everyone can participate safely, whether managing an injury or catering to specific needs. I particularly enjoyed classes with Sheri, Benedicte, and Alyssa Gail. Their classes were not only challenging but also fun, creating a positive and constructive atmosphere that made each session fly by. SCHEDULING The RTR app is user-friendly and easy to navigate, allowing you to track both completed and upcoming classes. You can book classes weeks in advance at any RTR location, not just Vienna. Currently, early morning classes at 6:15 a.m. are only offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays. As an early riser, I'm excited to see more early morning options as the studio expands! CANCELLATION There's no penalty for canceling a class 12 hours in advance. However, if you cancel within 12 hours of the class start time, you'll lose the class credit, and if you don't show up, you'll lose the class credit and be charged a fee. The cancellation process is quick and easy through the app. CHECK-IN PROCESS The check-in process is simple with an iPad at the studio entrance. For first-timers, the instructor will give an overview of the equipment before class begins. BATHROOMS The bathrooms are clean and well-maintained. They are located down the hall and shared with neighboring offices and studios. PARKING There are about 15-20 parking spots next to the building. Additional parking is available a couple of blocks away, with street parking options as well.
