Also it's next to Kitty Pozer Garden, and the historic old town hall. A spot to kick back a bit, although I wish there was an ice skating rink or something. Space is limited, but not as well done as the old town Manassas one is. On a plus note Woodys Ice Cream is across the street. The tables are fairly comfortable. This is a delightful venue for "Rock the Block," and other events. Also the streets in old town are quite pedestrian friendly. Do be wary, but by all means enjoy the best part of Fairfax City. Get that ice cream or other foods from so many close by restaurants. The fountains add a look of intrigue.

This isn't to say it's a bad place, as quite the opposite, it's a truly safe park. Located right next to the Fairfax City police department, I have a lot of happy memories from here. Taking my kids to this park was fun, and so was sledding on the hills in winter. Some parts of the trail need to be repaired, but otherwise it's in great condition. Kids of all ages will like the skate park, and the basketball hoops. Also the fields are fun for kite or drone flying. This is a rather large park. You can get exercise on the tennis courts, or cook on the grills here. The covered patios with tables, make for a decent birthday celebration spot. Also there's a volleyball area too. If in the area stop on in, and hours are dusk til dawn.

When I began at Fairfax Pilates, I had never done Pilates before. I chose FP because it seemed to…read morehave good reviews, was a small, very clean studio and was close to home. BOY! Did I get lucky! I've been going now approx 4 weeks. I have learned so much from the obviously experienced and educated instructors. This isn't just exercise, this is schooling in muscle structure, strength and in class explanation and direction of how each "Pilates move" is performed, specific muscles targeted and why they are important. Classes are small allowing the instructor to correct form and encourage each of us; so we get the most for our effort. I'm working hard, learning so much, and being challenged to do each "move" better by dedicated instructors who make the entire experience so fun and enjoyable. Fabulous! And thanks so much Fairfax Pilates.

Pilates is amazing for the body however it is critical that the instructors have had extensive training. I did a lot of research when looking for a studio to ensure the instructors were professionals and certified before choosing Fairfax Pilates. I have found that every one of the instructors know what they are doing and do an excellent job of making sure students use the correct form.

I have asked them to fix or update their equipment since I started there four years ago and they have completely ignored me. I recently moved across the country. I told them In August of 2021 that I would be moving and asked them to stop charging me. They charged me in September, October, and November. In October I asked them again to stop charging me and to refund the charges. They told me they could not do so and then had the audacity to charge me again in November!!! They refuse to refund me and I'm having to dispute the charges with my credit card company. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH FOUNDATION FITNESS

Foundation Fitness let me know that they would work with me to find ways to regain strength. Bald Jason has been incredible in helping me the past five months. I went from limited mobility to being able to lift more than I've been able to in years. From Jason's modifications in exercises when needed to his flexibility in modifying days when I'm unable to work on what was planned, I can't recommend Foundation Fitness enough.

I used to love this location (Fairfax) of Kaize . However, recent changes have made me decide to…read morepull my kids out and go to a different location. My kids are in the youngest age group (under 7). They used to be taught by adult Sempais, and I could see them gaining skills, self control, respect, etc. But this location recently changed to allowing older kids to serve as Sempais and run the class. These kids don't have any experience with teaching children - they're still children themselves. The focus of classes has shifted from learning skills to just "conditioning" - running, sit-ups, push-ups, etc. And these child instructors just don't have the self-control to serve as instructors. At the end of most classes, the Sensei/Sempai ends with a fun game to conclude on a fun note. But recently, the child Sempai leading a dodgeball-type game got carried away and way too competitive and was throwing the ball full force into little kids' faces. I saw a 4 yr old get slammed in the face (by the Sempai) so hard she fell down. And the Sempai appeared to like it and continued to throw full full force at other 4, 5, and 6 year olds. That was the breaking point for me. The other Kaizen locations are good, and we'll stick to those ones.

Najim, the coach is great. He is very technical in his instructions but still very understanding that it takes time to learn the techniques. Plus he has a strong competitive record: Multiple Sabaki (full contact Enshin Competition) wins and multiple Muay Thai Titles. It should be noted that some of the techniques are modified compared to pure Muay Thai to more of a Dutch style of Muay Thai. The classes run one hour, with about 10 minutes of warm up and stretching, about 40 minutes of technique training, and then about 10 minutes of calisthenics at the end. The varieties of techniques vary class to class ranging from the very basics to sparring for the more experience students. Also available are: Children and Adult Karate - I don't know a ton about these but have seen Najim coaching the children's classes and the kids seem to be learning alot of good techniques and still having a ton of fun. Also Enshin Karate, being a combination of kickboxing and Judo, does teach many techniques that are very real world usable should the students need them in an actual self defense situation. Gracie Jiu Jitsu - These classes are taught by Toney Waldecker, a blackbelt under Relson Gracie, son of Helio Gracie - the inventor of Gracie Jiu Jitsu. I don't know a lot about these classes either but Toney seems to be a very good trainer and Relson visits the dojo a few times a year it seems.
