I left another main gym chain (which shall not be named) shortly after covid began due to their…read morelack of following guidelines - staff and members not wearing masks, etc. I found Foundation Fitness and cannot believe I wasted years at the other chain! It was like going from an a Honda to a Rolls Royce. These people actually know me and treat me like family. Better yet, they're actually CLEAN! I actually look forward into coming in. I train with Kevin sometimes and love working with him. I actually feel like he knows what he's talking about, instead of most trainers that just parrot phrases at you. He pushes me, but not so hard that it's discouraging and makes me hate him - just enough that makes me feel like I got a good workout without wanting to die. 10/10 best gym ever!

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.

So I've been coming to Oak for about 2 years now officially in May I believe. I don't know why it's…read moretaken me this long to write a review but here it is... This is not your typical gym. And I know that may be a cliche but it isn't. This is a community gym. The atmosphere is kind and supportive no matter who you are or your fitness level. For reference I am a 30 year old woman and have friends here that are twice my age. I've never felt pressured, bullied or creeped out once. Now let's talk about the staff... Brent. Brent, is the manager and has been since I joined. He has built a wonderful team and as far as I can tell a pretty positive work environment for everyone. He always remembers my name despite the fact that I've hardly ever worked with him directly. Wendy. Wendy is exceptional with members and our community. She always waves and stops to talk to me when she passes. And I'm pretty sure she knows everyone at this point :) I've made friends with many of the trainers here and so will you. Let's see who we've got... Zoe. Zoe is someone I've known for two years now and have actually become close friends with. She is without a doubt the nicest woman I've ever met. She knows a lot about running and cardio, so if you've got the thrill for a race she is your girl! Dan. Dan is a character and who many people turn to for advice about basic movement mechanics and health. Oh and he is pretty much athletic in everything. Just ask what he does in his free time. Haha Chris. Chris is a rockstar. He does classes in the early mornings along with a few other trainers and is consistently a happy guy. He will always try to make you laugh...don't tell Dan I said that. Stacy. I don't know Stacy very well but I know she works hard and is an early bird that loves to run. She has always been very sweet and kind towards everyone. I can't list all the people that make this place great but these are definitely the people that have influenced me the most. For the first year at Oak I worked out almost every day and every day I was greeted with the same kindness and support. Without that I'm not sure I would have stuck out with my journey. I can now do 5 pull ups in a row, deadlift over 220lbs and hip thrust over 300lbs. These are just a few of the goals I've set and reached for myself and I'm so glad I was able to accomplish them in such a place as Oak. If you have toured the place you already now how clean it is and that there are countless showers and lockers to choose from. Equipment is kept clean and ready to use. I hardly see a broken piece of equipment. And if I have it doesn't stay broken for long. Not all gyms are great so if you thought this place doesn't have enough to offer I think I can gladly state that it does. So if you are thinking about joining please don't hesitate. It's worth it.

I have been here over a year now and feel like now it's the best time to write a honest review…read more This is the cleanest and most organized gym in the whole Nova area!! Roxanne and her cleaning crew are the best for this facility. This ensures that everything runs smoothly and that there are no unexpected interruptions. This level of organization reduces the time you spend looking for equipment and allows you to focus more on your workout. The overall atmosphere is one of a kind and everyone who works here treats everyone with respect, making it a place where you can feel comfortable and motivated to achieve your fitness goals!!

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

The next visit, I was greeted and assisted by multiple staff. Everyone was very nice and welcoming and great at remembering names! I love the atmosphere and lighting of the studio. They definitely maintain the location very well. Everything was organized and clean. My first ride, I loved the use of the weight bar in between cycling. I also enjoyed Nora and Isaiah's classes. While I didn't enjoy the connect class (too much choreography to follow!) I loved the playlists and energy. Would I return? for sure!
