Greetings to all associated with the Reston Penthouse, especially Wayne Wyatt and Karen. My…read moredaughter, Janelle Pace opted to have her 30th birthday celebration there on 24 April 2026. Everything was very professional and the staff was totally on point. I expressed gratitude to Wayne who was appreciative, but he quickly passed the credit to the entire team. I asked Wayne to text me the info so I could send a positive review. His text spoke volumes as he listed all responsible, starting with Shawn, who greeted and provided guest access to the Penthouse. He listed the Bar Tenders: John, Owen and Rosstin; Ryan an Assistant GM; Josh, the Head Chef; and Karen, Penthouse Director. It was truly a TEAM effort that resulted in a very positive experience for all in attendance. Respectfully Submitted, William E. Pace, Jr.

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

Came here as I was visiting near the area with a friend. I usually go to the OneLife in Clinton. I…read morewas very surprised on how small and cramped this gym was. I truly hope the members are not paying the same price as we do in Clinton. It feels like it was an old gym that OneLife came and bought. I went midday and it was not crowded. They have all of the machines you would need but about half of the machines look like they were from the 90s. I would come again but I think with many other gyms close by, I would think they need a bigger space and more updated equipment.

Editing to reply to business owner: Alleging you can't find…read moreme in the system when I'm issuing my literal first name on here is essentially trying to say I'm lying on this review lmao but whatever. I pay way too much monthly to come into a one life gym that still has this style of equipment. Maybe because my home gym is for totten but this is ridiculous. This equipment is all older than this gym itself. The gym smells like a sewage drain. I legitimately had to work out with a shirt over my nose and ended my workout early because I couldn't stand it anymore. The layout of the gym is always chaotic as hell. Yes there's a lot of machines, they are all old maybe 10% of what's in here is "new". Studio has no fans, neither does group studio. That makes no sense to me. First time at this location, I unfortunately moved to this area, but I won't be coming back, I'd rather make the 25 minute drive to the Manassas location where is actually clean, and new equipment Editing to add that there is in fact not a single fan in this gym, even the treadmills, don't have a built in fan. Might be the reason this location SMELLS as bad as it does. I'm

Cool huge facility, pickleball courts are nice but the balls bounce off the surface a little oddly…read moreand the division of open play courts is confusing for newcomers.

Life Time isn't horrible, but recently I have been noticing some very annoying things…read more 1. The basketball court was completely removed, which I was highly looking forward to using after getting my membership. Turns out it was replaced with a pickleball court. The thing that bothers me is the fact that half of the basketball court area was already a pickleball court, and they probably only replaced everything to make more money off pickleball lessons and stuff. 2. Things haven't been changing in a positive way. Like I said before, the basketball court was removed purely as an extension of the already existing pickleball court. Also, some of the gym equipment is pretty outdated and not getting fixed. Furthermore, the staff really don't care about members and just completely listen to the people who are ruining the experience for others, and getting people kicked out of a spot they were already in. The staff also tend to listen to the older person without understanding whats really going on. 3. Most of the Life Time membership is really just giving you access to more purchases instead of owning up to their slogan, "Healthier way of life." The whole Life Time experience really just seems to be a cash grab instead of what it promises.

To preface, I like most things about this gym as a regular member who knows what they want to do…read morehere. The equipment is decent, members are friendly. No billing issues thus far. They could add some machines but if you don't go at 5pm you'll probably be fine. But the purpose of this review is to warn others of the awful personal "training" practices here. TL;DR there is no oversight on trainers and they do whatever they want with clients seemingly not to the clients' benefit, imo they are lying and stealing money from those who don't know any better. The ANNOYING: To say the group fitness classes are a nuisance is an under-statement. There are TWO "special" rooms that non-premium members are not allowed to use because they are reserved for classes. Sure who cares I'm not using that space anyways. But frequently the classes are held outside of these rooms and take over as much space as possible. Every Sunday morning, the turf is nearly inaccessible because a group class is being held. The turf is the only open place for members to warm up, sled push, use some of the non-machines, etc. Unless the group class should be held there. Then you have to hug the wall and watch a circus. And good luck getting any equipment because they're using all of it. The exercises they do would be easily adjustable to fit in one or both of the studios but either out of laziness or entitlement on the instructor's part, they are not. The saddest part is that the group could probably do their own thing for free outside in a park, or at least get the same benefits because I'm betting there's a big "fun" component rather than a productive one. If I was attending these classes and still couldn't do a full push-up after a year of trying, I'd be pretty upset but they don't seem to be bothered. Everyone seems to be putting in some effort but are not being set up for success which really bothers me as a former coach. If someone is struggling with form, it's the coaches job to make an adjustment or regress it to a point they can do it, not have them flop on the ground week after week expecting that maybe someday they'll be strong enough. They do not understand progression in the slightest, and all do the same thing regardless of ability to actually perform a movement. If you are a regular non-class attending member the class instructors and goers will act like they are better than you or have some protected class status, it's very odd and entitled. The PREDATORY: You get a trainer to train you and make progress toward your goals. And if they're really good, teach you enough to be successful on your own- and those things are where the "trainers" here fail. As someone with 5 years of personal training and athletic coaching experience, you are being scammed out of your money if you sign up for training in any capacity here. The "trainers" (with the exception of Whilem he's chill) do not know what they are doing, no matter how hard they will make it seem like they do. If you don't understand exercise and hire a trainer for help, that would make sense. But it is incredibly easy to seem like an expert to someone with no knowledge, which is what I believe the trainers here do. One "trainer" in-particular hides behind gimmicky exercises and big words to trick his unaware clients and disguise the fact that he doesn't have a clue how to actually train someone to make progress in the gym. I've seen people over-complicate exercise but this guy is a whole new level. He frequently invents worse versions of exercises that already exist to an absurd degree. I feel the worst for the paying clients here because it's not their fault and they don't know any better. I've heard him give exercise cues that are either completely incorrect or downright dangerous. The clients look the same as they did a year ago and still lift the same weights. Maybe they're not doing what they should be outside the gym or maybe they just aren't doing anything productive in the gym, both are the responsibility of the person they are paying to help them be successful. I'm there at the same times consistently and have seen the same stuff every week, frequently changing exercises, under-loading, and over-explaining everything to their clients, while they spend tens of minutes of their hour-long session, not working out. I have never seen a client or class attendee do a full session without poor form on something, and the "coaches" do not know how to adjust an exercise to the point where their clients can actually do it. Some of the worst form I've ever seen at this gym has been in a class or with a "trainer" and a correction is never attempted. It's shameful on them and sad to see so many people throw their money down the toilet when they think they're doing something to help themselves. If you know what you're doing, you'll be fine here. But if you don't, take your time and money elsewhere because you won't learn anything from the charlatans here.

This is a great spot and space for a gym although it could be cleaner it's really disappointing…read morewhen you see the common areas where the clothing, supplements, and especially the seating area and tables are dirty and have not been cleaned for months so disappointing. This brand is treated so poorly, although it is still in a great space it is ill-equipped some machines they have duplicates of some of the most popular machines. They only have one. when it opened making management aware, but they have not made changes.
