    Had my first visit, scheduled time with Leo who gave me an extensive tour and showed me how to use the less common machines properly which I really appreciated. We went over membership options after I did my leg day there and signed up right away! PROS: -Large variety of rare equipment, especially leg machines -Never overly crowded - it was busiest right after work -Do not have to wait to use any machines -24 hour access -Cardio equipment -People re-rack weights -Day passes $20 for non-members CONS: -I wish they had a water fountain that had a vertical filling station. -Prefer wipes instead of paper towels and cleaner so most people do not wipe machines after use so that gets a little gross. -Sometimes it gets really hot in there even with the large fans. I'm excited to achieve my fitness goals here!

    I absolutely love this gym! I originally purchased a week membership since my friend was in town and needed an Olympic lifting platform. Well, it was such an awesome place that I signed up for a membership! The gym has the type of vibe that'll get you motivated as soon as you walk in! I was a little intimidated at first, but the people and the owner are so welcoming and friendly. They make you feel comfortable! Best gym in the area hands down!

    I drive 30 mins(1hr total), from MD, almost everyday and it is worth it. This is my Mecca, top quality gym with an owner who instills craftmanship and pride.

    I would like to formally report ongoing behavior at the gym that has created an uncomfortable and…read moreunprofessional environment for me. I am asking management to please review the security cameras because I believe the footage will support what I am describing. On multiple occasions, I observed an employee spending work hours working out instead of properly cleaning. One specific incident involved him barely vacuuming before returning to floor bench pressing. I directly asked him, "Are you cleaning or working out?" because it appeared he was using work time for personal workouts. I also want to address damage done to my brand new "One Day" Crocs. I checked them carefully before bringing them into the gym, and they were not damaged beforehand. I have previous experience working in clubs and gyms, and employees were only allowed to work out during breaks or after shifts ended, never while actively working. The main guy tall African American gave a glance look at my left damage crocs note with a sad reaction. I knew and gave me the proof to see what type of man the Muslim cleaning dude really is. There have also been repeated situations where this individual entered rooms exactly when I did multiple times, creating discomfort and concern about personal boundaries and respect for personal space. One time after I was told "this needs to stop," he was standing near the middle bench press area watching me in a way that felt inappropriate and confrontational. I responded by asking, "What the fuck are you looking at ?" because the behavior had already become ongoing and uncomfortable. Check the camera above the main lobby desk Additionally, I have noticed him repeatedly using the emergency exit located between the family bathroom and women's locker room area in a suspicious manner. People notice these actions, and it contributes to an uncomfortable atmosphere in the gym. I want to make clear this is not about religion, race, or background. This is about professionalism, respect, boundaries, and maintaining a safe gym environment for members. I am not gay at all. Since I have been attending this gym, I have not personally caused problems or had complaints made against me, but this situation has continued escalating due to his actions. I would appreciate management taking this matter seriously, reviewing camera footage, and helping resolve the issue professionally because the current environment has become uncomfortable due to these repeated actions. I just enjoyed my unnecessary vacation.

    I rarely write very negative reviews unless I am strongly compelled to resolve a serious & very…read moreunsatisfactory experience based on hard facts. Unpleasant experience here. Unethical and unsatisfactory customer services from employees there. When I tried to resolve it, they refused to fix the problem, refused to take responsibility for their actions, and didn't want to investigate the evidence & facts. Big red flag. Instead of fixing the problem they were responsible for, they tried to get me to sign up for membership there with a discount as a solution. Very unprofessional. My experience here was very unsatisfactory. Yet, I am grateful I decided to never get membership here due to people telling me their personal problems with LA Fitness and my own experience. The matter was addressed privately and immediately with corporate customer service and district manager. An apology was issued to me from the district manager as well as a free 7 day pass ( I refused the free 7 day pass yet thanked them for it .), and employees were reprimanded by the district manager from what was communicated to me. From personal discussions with people and their experiences in LA Fitness, there has been several, worse, and unresolved problems in LA Fitness than what I encountered. If your health insurance is paying for your gym membership here or if you never had a problem with LA Fitness, this might be a good gym for you if the pros outweigh the cons. Yet out of all the gyms I have went to in my life, this is the worst experience I ever had at a gym. Strongly suggest to just seek out all your options and get the free 3 day pass online for LA Fitness (if you want to sample it before getting a membership).

    I must say, I am pleasantly surprised!…read more This LA fitness location is by far one of the better locations in the DMV. I stumbled on this gym after stopping to the Springfield Mall to pick up an online order from the nearby Target. Since I was out doing weekend errands anyway and had the gym on my list of "to-do's", I figured why not stop here for a quick workout. From the beginning, I walked in and was immediately greeted by staff. The location was very open and clean, with tons of equipment and exercise machines everywhere. It is split between two levels, with the main entrance including a lounge area and most of the exercise equipment on the second level. Talk about a gym junkie' play ground. This is it all packed in a semi-small floorplan and footprint, but at the same time a well planned-out gym and layout. I consider myself a somewhat heavy lifter (375 lb Bench and up to 80lb Dumbells) and not only did they have all the weights I needed, they had a few surprise things I wasn't expecting such as CrossFit equipment and a well equipped indoor HITT training area....in addition a full basketball court! Another pet peeve of mine is clean locker rooms, a gold star for this location and clean as expected. Oh! And, let's not forget a lap pool for swim enthusiast. In all, you cannot beat this location for all the amenities that they have. Initially, the gym appears small at first glance until walk to the main lookout floor on its lower level. It is here that you can find any and everything you need to have a productive workout and change things up every now and then. The only two drawbacks that I noticed about this gym was the broken sauna and the parking which can get tight....because it is shared with the mall parking. If only I lived closer, this would definitely be my gym!

All of the dance moves have changed in one way or another, but this to be expected. I did not know all the new steps, but it doesn't matter as long as you are still moving to the music. Hell even the instructors get mixed up, but are still smiling and having a great time.  $7 dallors gets you into the groove and into the classes. Robert's twin brother has returned from his country to also teach classes. I really enjoy the snippets of basic merengue steps Robert's brother included in the various dances. Today there were many people here that want to go through the process of being an instructor. Most of the people wanting to be instructors were women, but there was one or two males in the group. I really only remember one of them. His dreadlocks and light skin stood out for me; as well, as looking like force to be reckoned with.  This was a great day to reestablish my return to Chakaboom.  I even saw new merchandise being sold. These lavender t-shirt were for fighting alzheimers disease and they looked to be selling out of them quickly.  I think next time I am there and they have sweaters, I might just buy one.

    Pros: Great space, light and equipment…read more BIG CON: POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE! I was approached by a trainer named Pat (an older white woman) on the morning of May 13th in an unfriendly, rude, condescending manner for making light contact with the gym wall with a sign that reads "Do Not Lean". I was not leaning on the wall as I simply lightly touched the wall while stretching my legs and her unacceptable tone and manner to reprimand me was completely unnecessary and uncalled for. The sign does not read "Do Not Touch" the wall. She approached me while I had my headphones on, stretching, aggressively pointing to the sign, invading my space. I am completely dissatisfied with the manner this was handled as I was spoken to like a child. I even felt there was an undertone of racism towards me since I am a Hispanic woman. I highly suggest Anytime Fitness to provide Pat with some customer service and some basic communication skills courses to improve on how she speaks to gym attendees. Had I been a white woman, or had this been done by a white man, would she have addressed it the same way? In addition, she did this infront of one of her older clients. How embarrassing. It's very simple to kindly approach someone. In summary, corporate will be hearing from me on this unfortunate experience.

The layout is spacious, clean, comfortable, and aesthetically appealing with ample workout zones and top notch like new equipment. Bathrooms are also clean and well maintained. Red light therapy is awesome as well as their aqua massager which is a total game changer to have all in one place. Other members present were respectful and quietly doing their own thing. The amenities and incentives are really spectacular. I can't say enough great things. Anyone interested in regaining some self care, or just looking for something new, I highly recommend checking this place out to see if it works for YOU, and schedule an IC with trainer Lindsay.
