One of the newer Golds Gyms in the DMV area. I joined this gym as part of a great offer during the…read moreBlack Friday / Cyber Monday weekend and I must say I am quite impressed with this gym. Also, I am not sure why the reviews are so low for this gym. This gym itself is modern, clean, and well-equipped with state-of-the-art cardio machines, weight lifting machines and equipment galore!.....not to mention, there are dedicated strength training areas (like squat racks and weight machines), specialized sections for CrossFit training, cardio workouts and surprisingly a hydro-massage room. For the price that I scored during their membership drive, I think it's a great deal for the price...$11.99/mo. (bi-weekly). In addition to the state of the art equipment and workout gear in this facility, the staff are very welcoming and as a new member answered a lot of questions that I have about the gym and use. The front desk manager (sorry I forgot his name --Latino guy with glasses) was very helpful in addressing an account issue (to my fault) on the spot and even getting me a refund processed due to my error during my first visit to this location. So I must say, between the customer service and great equipment.....This gym exceeds all my expectations for the price. And believe me, I've had memberships across many gyms in the DMV area and other US state lines to know the difference. I've even taught classes at a number of gyms around the DMV area to know the inner workings and operations as well, and I must say that this gym seems to be very efficient. Yes, there's no pool, there's no smoothie bar, and there might not be an onsite spa/massage center included..... but that's not what you come here for. You come here for a good workout at a gym that is spacious, has adequate equipment, and even fitness classes to break up the monotony between your workout routines. That's more than enough to better your health and meet your goals. In all, you can't go wrong with a membership at this gym. So far, I had a good workout and a big check mark from me is that this gym is not as crowded as many of the other Golds gyms around the city.... Especially during peak hours! So get off your butt and give this gym a try! I think you will like it.

There are flowers planted outside, house plants in the bathroom, it's always very clean. The people who come here are friendly. The sauna is nice. The facility is never too busy, you will always get a machine. The classes are top-notch and offered at a good range of times. I've done several of the yoga classes and a sprinkling of other classes. It's inexpensive. It's easy to get to, with plenty of parking available. They also have a very easy to use app for signing up for classes.

I've been going to this LA Fitness for about a year and a half, and the quality is inconsistent…read more The weight rack is always disorganized, the gym sometimes smells, and equipment is occasionally broken. The front desk staff can be hit or miss--sometimes they're helpful, other times unresponsive. It's probably the most affordable gym in the area, but also likely the worst LA Fitness within a 20-mile radius. I've been to four others nearby, and this one falls short in comparison.

Sitting in the locker room while I just got my 3 day pass, unsure if I want to stay or not…read more Customer service here is weird... no greeting, just asking if I was a member when I walked over to my relative, waiting for me on the side. When I was with the sales representative, I asked if they needed my ID. He didn't answer. Later, he mentioned I had to take a picture for the pass. I asked him "why" and he didn't answer. He just pointed the camera towards me and took the pic despite me really giving any type of consent and still no explanation as to why (which I'm sure is for legal purposes of course. Still weird how he literally said nothing despite him being a "representative"). I know it's a gym and all, but isn't customer service kind of what brings more memberships here besides the equipment here itself? Why would someone want to feel inclined in returning to a place if no questions are answered and staff don't seem to enjoy themselves here or the members/potential new members? I was also lied here from the front desk guy when I asked who was the manager, and he told me this one guy at his desk. When I went over to the manager, I was informed, he was indeed not a manager. I ended up leaving. Why did I get a call and a voicemail from a "Kyle" and when I called back, I was told "Kyle no longer works here". I don't know who hires the people here but definitely weird service

Philoy is a great instructor and the facility is clean, but this place isn't for me. Jeff has an…read moreunpleasant personality and is a sheer opportunist. I had to rest for a few minutes during my first workout in months, and Jeff took this opportunity to try and push personal training. When I questioned him about two sessions a week, he grew overtly indignant (clearly hoping for more sessions to put money in his pocket). Honestly, this initial encounter really made me adverse to the gym space. I know it's a business, but feeling like you're just a means to an end isn't an incentive to join.

Go through the second set of doors on the left, up the stairs, make a left and then. Right to suite 131 (Green and Black doors). I am one class away from finishing up my five class pack from Groupon and I'll definitely continue coming. The staff is well-trainer, friendly, and accommodating. If you ask, they will give alternates to any workouts that you may not be able to do. The weekday morning classes have been the perfect size for me and Saturday morning was a bit crowded. I haven't tried the weekday evening classes so I'm unsure about the class sizes. Overall great gym to be apart of, plenty of parking, not located near a metro but there are bus stops around.

If I could give a 0/10 I would. Unfortunately my exit from this company was very traumatizing. I…read morewill say the coaches and (some) of the front desk people were cool, but the management team is a complete nightmare. I initally cancled my membership back in march due to a sentive vulnerable medical reason which i explained to the staff. The staff somehow cohersed me into freezing my membership rather than canceling it. When they gave me this option, I was very hesitant because I just didn't know if freezing would make the most sense being that I don't know what the future of my health would be, but they convinced me to freeze my account, leaving out the fact that that means I would be committing to a new month once I came back and finished the month that I had frozen. I will admit that I did not fully understand the freeze process and I missed a lot of information regarding so, there was a lot of miscommunication on both parts and when I tried to get it resolved with the management team it was a horrible conversation. As soon as I got on the phone, the "manager" had a very condescending tone and when I tried to explain why I was upset and confused she kept cutting me off and talking over me. And when I met her with the same energy, she tried to spin it like I was the problematic one. she was not listening to understand, but rather continued on with the conversation to state "facts" and read from her false notes. She gaslighted me the entire time, kept saying "you keep talking over me" as if she wasn't doing the same exact thing, invalidated my experience and feelings just to prove a "point" Breanna or Brenna whatever your name is, if you are reading this, I want you to know that you lack conflict resolution skills, you lie a lot and manipulate your words to prove your point, which tells me that you lack integrity and communication skills. I left the conversation in tears, and later had a horrible panic attack because of how traumatizing that conversation was. She almost even conned me into keeping my membership with them and "waving the fee" something that was never offered to me before . I almost fell for it, but after my panic attack, I reflected on the conversation and realized that I do not want to patronize a business that has that type of management team. It lets me know that if there is an issue, it will be poorly handled because of the type of person the manager is. if you have any sort of auto immune disease that is induced by stress like myself, then I definitely do not recommend this studio because they will send you straight into a flare just like they did with me. I lost out on $200 but I would rather let that money go to waste than to be affiliated with a management team that treats and talk to their members like trash. The management team is more concerned with making their quota than actually doing what's best for their members.

A forgettable Y, old and run down and needs a major facelift. Definitely one of the less enjoyable YMCAs I've used and despite how old and run-down it is, it's also busy so you will have to wait for certain things on certain days at certain times more than you would in the average YMCA location. And some of the other members are not so friendly. A good parking lot though, and nobody bothers you in it if you're hanging out in it for awhile.

I have nothing against barre. The workouts in and of themselves are fun and challenging. However,…read morebefore taking classes or entering a membership at this Pure Barre, I'd like to warn you all against a few things. 1) I signed up for a 3 month commitment membership, which came with a set of extra classes. What I was not told, however, was that the extra classes expired after 30 days. Luckily, the studio manager gifted those extra classes back to me - all the same, it would've been nice to know ahead of time. Second of all, I was not made aware that there was a 30 day cancellation notification requirement. So, despite the fact I cancelled 28 DAYS in advance, I was still charged $99 for a membership the next month that I have no intention of using. Please be aware of both of these policies. In my time as a fitness instructor, I've never seen studio so clearly exploitative. 2) While the instructors are nice, many of them give the impression that they don't want to be there. Again, from a fitness instructor perspective, the energy that the instructors bring to class is critical, and when I can tell an instructor doesn't want to be there, it can make the class substantially less enjoyable. If you're considering barre, I'd honestly encourage you to try a different studio than Pure Barre.

I emailed the silver spring location and the corporate office multiple times but they refused to refund the extra charges and even added a "late fee"!! They either didn't respond at all or would dismiss me and try to justify the charges (why would any business justify charging a customer$200 for a $35 single class???) I've never in my life witnessed a business turn away new customers like this. Horrible customer service and I'm still filing didoes with my credit card company.
