I have been to a few gyms in the area (from Stafford to Fairfax) looking for the right place, with…read morethe right trainer, a meal plan that will educate myself about nutrition and help me stay on track; a flexible schedule that can accommodate on the daily to my limited free time (mom of 4 athletes) and most importantly the RIGHT WORKOUTS that I need to accomplish my specific goals, and I must say that I've never felt more satisfied across the board. Edwin, our trainer, does a phenomenal job, knows his stuff, gentle enough to teach you the proper form, but as strong as it gets when pushing you to work your hardest...the best trainer I've had thus far (I'm 40 years old, worked out most of my life). I'm super motivated and excited to see where this journey takes me! This fitness studio "little hidden treasure" is located on Rt. 28 in Manassas very close to Centreville, Fairfax, Woodbridge and only a few miles from 66. I would say... I'm pretty sure once you join you won't want to quit... if you love feeling great and looking good, of course! Oh did I mention that he also offers those famous "6 week challenges"? Best prices, and worth every penny. Highly recommended! Give it a try!!

Both Edwin and Chad are very professional and foster a fun, personable, judgement free environment. I've been working out with Chad, several times a week, for just over a month. He did an initial assessment, assisted me with setting goals and he continues to tailor my workouts to assist me with achieving my goals. For the first time ever, I'm excited about working out!

You can go there anytime. The rep there remembered me when I checked out the place last year! (Talk about customer service) the place is clean. It has everything you really need to get in shape. It's limited space but big enough to workout and get your fitness on! My only one minor gripe is, there are rubber coated plates.... and the seem to be falling apart. Some rubber missing or coming apart. But other than that. I love this place.

***I would actually give it 3.5 stars***…read more Background: I work out about 6x/week and I'm a runner. I completed the 7 day free trial period with my friend and that's the basis for this review. Pros: -Great for people who enjoy working out in groups -Efficient 45 min workout -You sign up for classes via their dedicated app, then it can be added to the calendar in your phone -The raised padded floor is great for those of us with knee problems, it makes for a soft landing - they have child care -you can complete workouts from home video chat -they have women's only classes -unisex bathrooms with baby changing tables -they offer one-on-one support with nutrition (not sure how often) Cons: -Not so great for people who need more instruction because the class moves quickly -About 5-7 mins of the 45 mins is dedicated to warm-up and instructions, which makes for a short workout for some - The app doesn't tell you what the focus of the workout is going to be, so if you work out on your own you risk working on the same muscle group you already focused on by yourself -only class based workouts, no cardio machines, no time to stretch or do anything on your own -not open on Sundays -No locker room/showers Overall: This would make for a great secondary gym for someone who can't focus/doesn't have the motivation to complete HIIT workouts on their own (seeing as how there are plenty of free options online). It's a no frills, no thrills type of gym, get in, do your workout, and leave. They don't even have towels you can use. It's all about community here, so if that's what you're looking for, then this would be good for you. You must wear a face mask everywhere except while on the padded floor.

Complimentary child-watch for those with kiddos - allowing you can have 45 mins of time for you for your workout!

Disappointing experience. I finally worked up the courage to go into Fusion to inquire about…read morepersonal training. The manager took my information to send via text information about pricing, contract terms and conditions, etc. that I asked about when I walked in. I received only pricing information the same day (Wednesday, 6 Sep). I replied via text same day with thanks and asked if Joel was available the following week for the initial assessment and was told that if anything opened up, I'd receive a text (and that another trainer might be available). I responded that I didn't mind waiting for Joel and said the waiting list is fine, but could I get on the schedule for his next available opening -- just to be sure there was something confirmed on the calendar at some point because what if I couldn't make it to a spontaneous opening. I did not hear back. So I followed up via text two days later, Friday, 8 Sep... I kindly reiterated that I'm happy to have my name on a waiting list, but could I also just secure a date for an available time in the future -- even if it's a couple weeks away -- for the peace of mind ... otherwise I'd just consistently have to hope that something might open up and that my schedule would align (a likely challenge!). The manager responded and thanked me for my patience, again saying she'd try to get me in next week and that Joel is booked. AGAIN, I said that I didn't mind waiting, but could I Please. Just. Schedule. A. Known. Open. Slot. (in addition to the waiting list, fine). Once more, the manager either missed or disregarded my point entirely, saying once again that she would try to get me in soon and to be patient. Two and a half weeks later, and I haven't heard back since... Patience wasn't the issue -- I said multiple times that I didn't mind at all to wait (I didn't expect him to be available the next day!); I just wanted to secure a future spot without relying on the hope of a random opening. That's not unreasonable for a person with a full-time job. I spoke with a friend whose experience reflected a similar challenge--said that every week, it was a struggle to get on the trainers' calendars. Seems they've got plenty of business to keep everyone busy, so that's great for them as a small business in a competitive industry, but boy am I disappointed at this approach to business operations and (prospective) customer service. I was excited about picking up my wellness journey here; it's a shame.

Just the right way of doing fitness as business. Joel,…read moreAnthony and Gloria are amazing and hard working. The whole 45 minutes of intense exercise is very well designed class, aimed to push you to the limit (not easy to do while coordinating 8 people and limited space) . Personal training for a reasonable price is excellent as well. The workout usually target whole body which is great (no separate leg or upper body days) Fusion beats the pretentious and $$$ Lifetime, where the classes are not during convenient time and expensive. The cheaper version to be considered is N-Zone - thats smelly other people socks though and not overly clean. Another choice perhaps would be a private friend-of-a-friend-woman-owned gym - a very questionable quality and fitness knowledge. There is no doubt in Fusion's trainers expertise - Joel and Anthony are extremely fit. Joel, Anthony and Gloria rock! Great business value proposition and fitness done right. XO
