We joined Fox Mill Swim (#foxmillswim) and Tennis club 4 years ago and love it. There are a good number of kids but it's never gotten so crazy that we've felt over run.

George Mason University Recreation Center comes close to offering everything students and faculty…read morecould possibly need. This is my third visit for the purpose of attending the Virginia High School State Swimming Championship. Parking can be a challenge for visitors depending on timing. There is a lot of close surface parking. The lot was overall pretty clean with minor debris. The building although dated to the early 70's is in great condition. The majority of the facility is for the GMU competition pool. It was fully renovated in the past 15 years. The primary pool and diving well is for George Mason Swim and Dive team practice and competition. However, faculty and students can use the pool. They also have a Masters swim group that uses the competition pool. The spectator area is extremely compact, but spans the entire length of the pool and well. A 25 yard training pool is also offered. A nice size tiled in hot tub, sauna and fitness room is on the same level. The Olympic size competition pool is 50 meters with movable bulkhead, platform diving and well. The aquatic complex consist of approximately 145,000 gallons of swimming capability. The Long Course pool has eight lanes for competition. What I did not see was indoor basketball courts. However, they do have multi purpose areas in the building. They also have offices and classrooms. The locker room area is somewhat small, but was pretty clean. There were two malfunctioning items. A sink was closed off and a non flushing urinal. Day passes are offered to visitors for $10. This covers the entire pool and fitness areas in the building. 3.5 rounding down.

The GMU Field House is a nice break from the Aquatic and Fitness Center (AFC) where everyone else…read moregoes. I think it is safe to assume the Field House is where most of the people playing sports for GMU go. The Field house is open to all students and AFC members but this place is for serious athletes only! You won't see dudes with tons of hair gel and girls caked up in tons of make up here (unlike at the AFC.) You also won't see many machines here. There's a huge weight room, in and outdoor track, and four indoor multipurpose courts. There probably is a little more than what I've mentioned because I usually hit up the weight room with one of my friends then leave. If you end up going to a GMU athletic building you won't be disappointed!

I had called Manassas Park Community Center since we were visiting the area and had asked if it would be a problem bringing 7-10 people with me who didn't know the game- Dawn said no problem! They even have the wooden paddles, balls, nets. I thought wow- what a jackpot. We went and what a disaster. The person in charge is BONNIE- and she is very passive aggressive. BONNIE even tried to sabotage us using the facility paddles, almost getting in the middle physically so that they would not give us paddies. We had to go to the front desk for their assistance with this- as Bonnie didn't want us to use them. Even though they had around 30 paddles. BONNIE did not welcome us and got hung up on us setting up a net for three people instead of four. No one needed the court or our space- BONNIE was just being a nasty old lady. BONNIE was very cruel to my family and had such bad energy. Even the regular people that go and play pickleball said how "Everyone has their own Bonnie story". Bonnie should be ashamed of herself- this is a game that people come to have fun- not to be tortured every step of the way. We were new to this gym and very excited to come to- we didn't know all the ins and outs- but after meeting this horrible leader - we def won't be back. We asked for our money back and Dawn wouldn't refund us.

Worst experience ever. My daughter has been enrolled here for about 4 months. Everything from the…read moreOwner, to the organization of the competitions, information shared about rules, schedules, changes of schedule, to the gym facilities, which is in a shady warehouse, is handled in an amateur, unprofessional and rude fashion. They only see you as a cash cow, not as a customer (and the membership is twice as expensive as the fanciest gym) and if you complain about anything, they have zero accountability or interest to resolve it. The gym has no limit of people there, they accept everyone, making the experience crowded and not personalized. And yet they don't renovate the facilities nor upgrade their employees. For example, competitions time are scheduled with less than 24h of information. This is unacceptable. They make you drive your child 3h ahead to a far place which is chaotic from an organization standpoint, they put the teams waiting in hallways for to perform less than 2 mins with a team of about 30 people at a time. They don't communicate that they don't want parents in certain areas. There's a woman, Coach Jessica, who treats athletes and parents in a bully and rude way. Both me and my daughter experienced this from her. She doesn't ask, she yells at you, she undermines girls self-esteem and when you complain, the owner's response is unprofessional and protective, instead of acknowledging that there's a recurring issue with this person who works for him. I have never experienced such a poor behavior from a business like this. They post pictures of your kids on their social media without permission and block you from taking pictures of your own child. They shouldn't be in business.

Fitness Center. I only use the the club for fitness. This could be the best kept secret in Fairfax…read more The potential is untapped. Simply there is no observable management supervision of this part of the facility. I wish there were a true stretching area. The closet size space is simply inadequate. The stretch pad provided by the gym is at least 18 months old, soiled and disintegrating. They have a small room adjacent to the the larger gym area that could be used, but is currently off limits and partially used for storage. They have plenty of machines. Lots. They are reasonably well maintained. Some of the equipment and hand weights in the free weight area are RUSTY. The current benches are worn and should be replaced. All the negatives aside I really like this place. Is is very clean. The very small staff is quite friendly, but appatrently powerless to implement change. I have always had plenty of room to work on occasion I have been the only person exercising for extended periods of time.There are so few people using the fitness area I fear it will be closed. The few trainers-two of which I have used-are knowledgable, friendly and encouraging. They have access to a completly separate set of "Trainers Only" equipment that by observation is well maintained. So if you are searching for an under used, well equipped, well lighted and clean and inexpensive fitness facility, then this is your spot,

I joined for a couple of months and had mixed feelings about the place. The facility is in need of a major overhaul...it could be fabulous. Now- It's dark and dated. Hasn't been updated since the 80's or 90's. The women's locker room in particular is so small and uncomfortable. I really liked the pool itself, though. It was sparkly clean, set at a good temperature, and it's for adults only. You schedule your lane time online. It's actually pretty hard to find a nice pool like this in our area, and this one is really nice. The locker room is small and uncomfortable. Even do, I may go back. The answer may be to skip the locker room entirely? Membership plan was available on a month by month basis, running about $90. There are other plans which cost less monthly but require a 12 month commitment and a membership fee up front. I may well rejoin this place. If things have changed, I will update this review. I want to mention that Yelp has "hidden" a number of 5-star reviews from 2023. I suggest you take a look at those as well.
