OTF Sterling is a cool studio, in a decently remote location…read more I enjoy interacting w/ the people here most of time. The front desk and coaches are amicable and outgoing in general. Members are hit or miss but is generally the golden rule across any studio you'd consider. There's a nearby walkable Lotte Mart, useful for grocery stopping, and Korean BB.Q chicken -- recommend trying it if you haven't. Otherwise, good spot, bit out of the way, that may not be everyone's cup of tea, but for me that's acceptable as is the commute on my end. I'll revisit and update the rating in case my experience changes.

I've been a member since this location opened. Its sad to see the changes that have taken place…read moresince the new owners, Empire took over. Coaches and staff are over worked with these changes. The vibe in the studio is off. Coaches who once had energy enthusiasm and encouraged members to reach their potential have checked out. It's not just at this location. I have seen it at other locations that Empire owns. Empire is trying to increase the revenue by cutting back on employee pay, which is impacting morale in the studio and will thia eventually drive members to leave. Members options are not valued and feedback is ignored. Bring back the tank tops for Hell week and stop charging for hell and every challenge offered

Staff are welcoming upon entrance…read more I like the layout, one level. The machines are a little too close to each other, but relatively easy to find. The machines are on the older side, but still in working condition and well maintained. The lobby is oddly large, almost wasted space, not sure if there's a reason for this. The locker room is large and well maintained. They offer different classes which is always a plus. Plenty of parking available, shared by neighboring businesses.

The staff here are weirdly impersonal compared to other locations and other gyms I go to in…read moregeneral. They are always just sitting or standing behind desks and never look up or acknowledge anyone. I actually tried signing up here a couple years ago and sat in the waiting area for 20 minutes but no one would come talk to me so I gave myself a tour. That led me to go elsewhere. However, I recently joined the new OneLife in Ashburn so I have access to this location and have tried it a few times. Walking into this OneLife is like going into an alternate universe. I have been to four other locations in Virginia and Maryland, all of which are spacious, clean and have modern equipment. However, this Sterling location is cramped, messy, and the equipment is so worn out. Many machines have handles falling off of them, or benches are tough to adjust, that kind of thing. Personally, I will only go here if I have another reason to be next to it, and otherwise will just go to the Ashburn location.

BSP is the antithesis of any of the other mainstream gyms that I've ever experienced. I never…read moredreamed in a million years that I'd be the kind of person who would be excited about working out - the kind of person who looked forward to going to the gym rather than dreading it like a tax audit. BSP changed everything for me. I used to go to the gym and wander back and forth between the treadmill and the stair-climber. I had no experience with weights, knew nothing about strength training, and didn't know a barbell from a kettle bell. When I first joined I was clueless and worried that I'd feel intimidated. I didn't - I felt empowered! I worried that I wouldn't be able to execute any of the exercises in my first program. I could - I had no idea how strong I could be! There are a million reasons I love this place, but a few of the standout differentiators for me are these: Personalized approach - programs that are tailored just for me, and only for me, to challenge me each and every time I come in based on MY goals, MY strengths, and MY limitations The coaches!!! - the most knowledgeable, professional, approachable, and encouraging coaches - every single one of them. The BSP business culture values constant and consistent learning, and that's abundantly clear in every interaction with these talented people Fun, friendly, non-intimidating environment - this community of fun-loving and outgoing people - coaches and clients alike - who call out your name when you walk in the door, who cheer you on when you reach a goal or hit a PR, who are genuinely glad to see you and share in your excitement over crushing fitness goals - they create a social scene of accountability and motivation Honestly, BSP is more than a gym for me - over the past 2+ years it has become a family and a major part of my life.

Prior to joining BSP NOVA, I totally got into a slump. I wasn't feeling motivated, I was doing very…read morepassive workouts that weren't making a difference mentally or physically, and I felt old, fat, and tired--not at all like myself! I would randomly lift at the gym, but there was no structure or consistency to make progress, so it felt pretty pointless, and I'm sure I wasn't building an effective routine the few days I would go work out. Since coming back (I was a member years ago before moving out of the area), I'm in a happy place... Workouts are fun, I love that each program is like its own mini-challenge to push through, and I can see progress every time I read my sheet (even if it's small changes in weights lifted going up). I'm no longer bored or writing off workouts because there's that feeling of "whatever, I can do it later, it's just the gym". The community is unreal. I've never been in one place with so many people that are allies and champions for each other, coming from so many different places with so many different goals. And of course, the coaches are awesome and help build a supportive environment that's incredibly welcoming and realistic. I've never felt pressure to be perfect, only encouragement to be mindful of decisions so I can make better ones to reach my own goals. The camaraderie from coaches and members alike is something I've never felt so naturally anywhere else--it's just there without being forced upon you. I've never seen someone walk out of BSP unhappy, even when I know we've all come in on rough days a time or two and wanted to be anywhere else. I could gush on and on... but if you want a judgement-free place where you can set your own pace for progress and have a ridiculous amount of knowledge and resources to help, this is it!

Generally clean, decent array of equipment and amenities, and usually friendly staff. Over time, I did think sometimes equipment took a bit long to repair, and the lack of simple basics like paper towels in the bathroom was something I wished they had. I also just found myself having to wait on equipment way too frequently, even when the gym wasn't that crowded because they only have one version of some machines and they have a much older crowd at this gym that likes to just sit there talking or scrolling their phones and doesn't seem very serious about working out. Having to navigate the One Loudoun traffic and parking garages also felt like a chore sometimes. At the end of the day, if this gym were a little cheaper I might have considered renewing after my initial term. But it's 1:1 the same cost as the brand new OneLife in Ashburn that has way more equipment + dozens of locations, open space, aquatics, recovery room with compression, red light, and hydromassage, towels included, and more, with a convenient parking lot only one exit farther down Route 7 to boot. I've actually seen 20+ regulars I knew from TFE now working out at OneLife so I think most of the serious gymrats have picked up on the fact they can get more for their money and jumped ship. Farewell, TFE. You were a good gym, I'll always cherish our times together.

"TL;DR"? BODY20 is the real deal. Truth in Advertising…read more Longer version: having learned of their existence in 2023, after I'd already gotten in the pipeline for gastric sleeve surgery, I held off on setting foot in their Sterling/Potomac Falls location. A week after the procedure (Feb 19, 2024), so Feb 26, I contacted BODY20 expressing my interest in trying them out, once I exited certain post-operation "phases" and could engage in more intense exercise again. I was immediately struck by their enthusiasm, almost frustrated that at the time, I couldn't match it. Fast forward a little further to late April and hitting my halfway point in terms of desired weight loss. I made an appointment and set foot in their location May 6. Kevin rolled out the red carpet and showed me everything that would be involved if I signed up, from their high-end InBody scale and all its measurements, to the real focus, the proprietary "suit" to deliver the electrical muscle stimulation and all the promises attached to it. Now I walked in plenty skeptical, as the chain makes some tall claims about getting "1-2 hours" of traditional exercise in a 20 minute window. What can I tell anyone other than, despite how seemingly unrealistic that claim may initially sound - they underpromise and overdeliver?! I'll never know what my highest body fat percentage was, as only my weight and BMI were measured during the pre-surgery process. I can say with no fear of contradiction, that in the nearly 9 months since I set foot in the Potomac Falls location: I am down an additional 60 lbs overall, and *all* of that is fat, as measured by the InBody scale. Body fat percentage has dropped from 46 to 30%. Visceral fat, that most life-threatening form, is down from 24 to 11, well within the healthy range. All this has been accomplished while maintaining muscle mass to within 2 lbs of where I started - a minor miracle in itself, given the limited calorie intake necessary to the gastric sleeve recovery process. As I've shared with the staff at different times, with the role that muscle mass plays in avoiding "regain" down the road after this sleeve process, BODY20 is proving to be a great insurance policy to help make certain that my success is not reversed down the line. Their monthly membership is like a premium I pay to help increase my likelihood of success. From Lisa to Seth to Fahmida and Kevin, everyone I've dealt with to date at the Potomac Falls location has been equal parts knowledgeable and informative, they know what they're doing and they know how to get the best out of you, so long as you show up and do your part. I can't recommend them highly enough so if you're on the fence - get off, make an appointment, and try them for yourself. I wasn't sure they'd be able to deliver on their promises, but they've gone from being something I intended to use "in the background" of my other fitness endeavors, to being the backbone of the latter, and I work my other efforts around them!

Let me start by saying I've been a Northern Virginia resident for many years, though it seems…read moreGoogle had me signing into Yelp as if I were in San Francisco--I'm not sure why, but I've definitely been living here for a while now. Over the years, I've been a member of many gyms, but after joining Body20 just over a year ago, I can honestly say I've never felt better. I've trimmed fat, built muscle, and even like to joke that I have a "4-pack" for my abs. If you're after a workout that actually delivers results, look no further! The intensity of the Body20 workout is no joke. While you might not feel sore the next day, trust me--the day after, you'll definitely feel the burn. It's the kind of workout that leaves you feeling accomplished and empowered. Even better, the results come fast and are incredibly noticeable. What truly makes Body20 stand out, though, is the staff. They're patient, encouraging, and always know how to push you just a little further. Kevin, the owner, is amazing--he treats his employees with respect and is always available to answer any questions you might have. His commitment to both his team and customers is evident and adds a lot to the overall experience. If you're curious about Body20, Kevin offers free demo sessions, so there's no financial commitment to try it out. It's the perfect chance to see if this workout works for you. Living in the DMV area can be stressful, and maintaining my health has been essential for staying balanced and positive. Instead of letting stress get the best of me, I head to Body20, where I can burn it all off and get into the best shape of my life. I highly recommend Body20 to anyone looking for a real change. You will definitely see results!
