I'm giving this super-modest community center a whopping 5 STARS. If I could give it a 10, I…read morereally would! It's totally old-school and that's why I like it. I used to work in the fitness industry for well over 10 years. In my former career, I was as a personal trainer, group exercise instructor, and also part of the fitness management team. I've been to facilities all over the USA, including South America, Europe and the Caribbean. I have quite the insight about fitness equipment, brands, what motivates people, and so forth. My point is, this modest facility has everything one could possibly need, but without all the overly- pretentious- unecessary-fluff and without the weirdos. They offer plenty of cardio options. The ellipticals were modern, in perfect condition, smooth and well maintained. Treadmills were smooth. Recumbent bikes and spin bikes were available. As I was checking in on yelp, there was a Spin class in progress. Folks were respectful on the indoor track. Interactive sports was a whole vibe! There were several pick-up basketball games happening, like 2 or 3 going on. And folks were talking plenty of smack! I was low-key watching the basketball drama as I was walk-jogging around the indoor track. Totally entertaining and hilarious. It was awesome! 2 Pickleball games were happening as well as volleyball games. In another room there was also a bunch of tables, I think it was a ping-pong room...?? They also offer an indoor skate night. I have no idea what that means or when it happens, lol!! I just saw a bunch of signs for skate rental, and a bunch of racks which housed thick plastic covers for the floor, I guess to make it smooth for indoor skating?? They have a machine weights circuit, a free weight/squat and leg press room, another weight room with dumbbells and other free weight exercise machines. There was an area for group-ex classes, so lighter dumbbells, steps, stretch mats, bands, weighted bars. I used this area to use the hand-held weights, cool down and stretch. And plenty of space on the side of the indoor track to do your own thing. I saw folks practicing volleyball, pickleball, and just independent exercises. This "community center" truly has it all and seriously, competitively compares to other fitness facilities in the area. It may not be as sleek, posh, and modern as your overly-priced $80 - $200 per month facilities, and lacks towel service, steam room, sauna, and locker rooms. However, the equipment is the same! And you have an indoor track, which most gyms do not offer and plenty of social and interactive sports. I came on a Wednesday evening after work, and it was not overly crowded inside. Outside parking was a pinch tricky, but I was able to secure a spot. I enjoyed working out here. I would like to come here once or twice per month, to offset the monotony of my current X-Sport, recently bought out by LA Fitness gym membership that has a lot of run-down, broken equipment for months without repair. It reminds me of going to the campus gym in my college years. Very nostalgic! Anyways...highly recommend.

I'll say it definitely needs to be upgraded. Time is back in the day there, with outdated options for especially young folks. There is good parking here. Before you laugh, Arlington is known for this being a major challenge. For once you can pull in, without a meter or parallel parking! There's some okay basketball hoops here. Also little kids will enjoy the climbing and playground equipment. This is a family friendly place. My hope is they will update it in the near term.

Has a nice sized commercial kitchen and another smaller room that opens for a bar. There is a long side area with a wall of windows like a long indoor sunroom area. Can't recommend this place enough. They do have strict rules for cleanup afterwards perhaps that's why it's so well maintained.

I came here a few weeks ago to help a local animal shelter with a fundraising event and I wa pleasantly surprised with the size of this building.

Okay Landover! This community center is right near where my friend just moved to a few years ago…read more After a day of working at his place, he wanted to work out, and invited me to join him at his local gym in this community center. I had no idea what to expect as I had never been! We were able to walk from his spot -- a good 10-15 minute walk I'd say. It also happened to be Early Voting day, so we saw plenty of signs on our way in. Once inside, I saw a sign for all these classes they have, including swimming, tennis, archery, dance... it's quite the variety! I also saw a bunch of rooms down the hall, which I imagine are used for a myriad of activities. We had to check in at the desk, and then we made our way to the gym. It's got everything you need -- TVs that occasionally play music (someone was blasting go-go on a bluetooth speaker, that was fine lol), plenty of treadmills and other cardio machines, plenty of dumbbells, and machines targeting specific muscle groups. My friend and I were there for a good 90 minutes or so, so it definitely had everything we needed. In fact, I'm still pretty sore now! It's great for the locals, and I believe it's ~$120 for a full year's membership. Not bad when comparing to most other places! If you happen to be in the area, give it a shot.
