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.

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

Neutral, Informational Review…read more I want to share my experience so future members know what to expect. The gym facilities themselves are fine, but I found the membership process and information provided at sign-up to be unclear. I did my best to get all of my questions answered upon signing up and trying to cancel. I'm still working on that right now. There is an annual $88 amenities fee, and memberships here are contract-based. There isn't a month-to-month option. If you want an unlimited guest pass, that comes at an additional cost. The gym also uses a tier system that affects which locations you can access. I wasn't made aware of these details until I tried to cancel right now. When I tried to ask questions or make changes to my account, I often had difficulty getting clear answers. It made handling membership matters more stressful than it needed to be. This is your basic experience of what everyone says "why do gyms make it impossible to cancel" this is one of those gyms. I'm sharing this so others can go in fully informed and ask the right questions before signing. Transparency at the beginning would make the experience much smoother for everyone.

11/23 today there was completely different staff at the front desk and so I made it a point to walk…read moreinto the gym without headphones and leave without wearing my headphones to see if anybody would open their mouth and speak to me. This is the only one life location I have come to that staff refuses to acknowledge you. I pay over $50 a month the least that the employees could do is provide the most basic level of customer service why am I not even getting smiled at? I was reply to by the business owner advising me that they would talk to their staff and yet I've seen zero changes and today I went as far as even asking the front desk, lady, why is she refuses to speak to me and she just stood there looking at me, dumbfounded, looking around for somebody to save her I said to her you know you are the only one life location that I come to that refuses to speak to anybody walking into the gym she looked at me like a deer in headlights. Her name is DIANE. train your staff to speak to people. It is literally the bare minimum that your staff should be doing a good morning. Have a good day goes a long way. This is bare minimum customer service. If I did not have to come to this location I would never step foot into this gym, but I refuse to drive 40 minutes every day to Manassas where they actually have trained staff that actually acknowledges their customers and isn't actually 200 times better gym, but I'm stuck here. It would be fucking nice to be greeted. I hate this location. Still being ignored walking into facility :) 11/19 And it's always the same employee. Very clear management could care less. No better location than Manassas and Fort Totten in DC. I recently moved to Herndon so I've been having to try to go to a gym. That's much closer to my house instead of driving for 35 minutes to Manassas and honestly I don't care how petty this makes me customer service should still be at the forefront of all of your businesses. There should be no reason why I'm walking into your establishment early in the morning where I can't even be told, Good morning I just get ignored because your front desk staff is just sitting on their phone , but let their friends come into the building and then they're all attentive and chatting and friendly but if you're not one of their friends, you're not gonna get spoken to I don't appreciate that whatsoever. Customer service is a huge deal to me if it's not obvious from my reviews. Not to mention that this location is huge, but it is completely laid out incorrectly. I'm not really sure why they need for a whole physical therapy office in this gym. If so much space and all the equipment is so freaking close to each other. You don't have any privacy when working out you don't even have personal space forget privacy because you're at a public gym but there is NO PERSONAL SPACE. You can barely even walk through machines you have to completely go around.

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.

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!

I'm updating my review to add back a star to 4 total. Some improvements I've noticed lately:…read more - More frequent communication on social media and elsewhere digitally to members about happenings at the gym - Equipment repairs and even replacements of things like rope attachments for cables are happening quickly - Cleanliness overall is really good; I almost always see someone cleaning something when I'm there - Staff has been very friendly and helpful I also recently got a second gym membership at Planet Fitness* and have tried out several of their locations in northern Virginia since. And it's very clear what the difference between a ~$20 membership and a ~$60 membership get you. Compared to the 'chain gyms,' TFE is: - Way cleaner and better maintained, especially the locker room - Has a sauna, always a big bonus - Has additional strength training equipment, 1:1 cables, and weights that go up higher for those of us who are more experienced *Three big reasons I sprung for the outside membership: 1) TFE hours are rough sometimes to fit into my schedule especially the weekend hours. 24/7 gym is a necessity for me sometimes, even if I have to settle for a slightly less intense facility. 2) The day passes are so expensive. I imagine I can't be the only person who has a significant other or family member who doesn't live in the area but visits frequently enough to want to come to the gym. My girlfriend lives in Arlington so it'd be crazy for her to pay this gym's membership price to workout on the weekends with me, but it's actually cheaper for me to get a black card at PF than to buy even a couple day passes at TFE. I would recommend to TFE to think up its own version of a black card to allow for unlimited guests, perhaps throw in some massages at the salon inside the facility, etc. 3) It's month-to-month so there's no risk involved to try it. I understand why non-chains can't do this though as they likely rely on the people who sign up and then never come to keep crowds down but stay operational. Overall, TFE is great and you seem to get what you pay for compared to cheaper chain gym options, but I would love better weekend hours and more flexibility in bringing occasional guests as part of the membership.

"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!

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!
