Outstanding gym. And I've been to a lot of gyms over the years, especially for treadmills and weights. I was visiting a relative in town and was just looking for a place to run and work out in that wasn't outdoors in 90+-degree weather. (We Southern Californians are weather wimps.) It was so nice and cool - which is not true of all DC-area gyms. It was also clean and felt very safe for my first indoors post-pandemic workout. Best of all, the people that worked there were super helpful while being low-key. And it wasn't crowded both times I went, with the customers also seeming to be pretty low-key while being focused on their workout. (No grunting loudly every single rep and slamming weights down at the end of the set, which, any pro will tell you, honestly means you need to take the weights down a bit until you can control them.) I just wish I could transport Energy Club to Southern California. But if you live in the area, do yourself a favor and check them out. read more

Energy club is by far the best locally owned gym around. They conquer the trifecta of quality, value and convenience. If you're new to the area, or just in a physical/social rut from winter doldrums, joining this gym can really shake up the mundane. They offer monthly member socials, parents night out, running clubs, and lots of challenges (boot camp, anyone?) and special sessions (hip opening yoga for runners). Facilities are extremely well maintained. Take a reliably hot shower in the sparkling locker rooms. Forgot a razor? They'll hook you up. Wind down in the sauna. Most of all, it's the team members, led by Joanne, who make this place great. I've had David as a personal trainer, and his calm yet persistent coaching really maximizes the impact of each session. If you love to dance, you gotta try Zumba with Karmina- it's hoppin like a Puerto Rican dance club and I always leave in a great mood. Body pump with Joanne, Cindy, and others is by far the most effective workout for women looking to tone, get lean and stronger. I've been a member since Snowmageddon 2011 and though I try lots of boutique gyms for fun, I'm forever loyal and faithful to the Energy Club. If you give it a try, and try a variety of offerings there, you won't look back. read more

Have been a member now for about 6 weeks and can say that this is the best gym I've been a member of. The equipment variety is endless, giving you a ton of creativity with workouts so you never get bored. The facility is clean and very well maintained. Not only is the entire staff incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming but so are the rest of the members. There is zero judgment or ego here. read more

I have been a member since mid-February and I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Energy Club. Everyone at the front desk is so polite and always answers any questions I have about the gym. Additionally, I have noticed their staff cleaning the equipment thoroughly and regularly. It really eases my mind knowing I am using sanitized dumbbells and machines. Anyone looking for a gym? ..use the Energy Club in Shirlington! read more

I became a member here about a month ago and it has been a great experience so far. Andrés, the assistant membership director, gave me a tour and answered any and all questions I had during the membership process to ensure everything went as smooth as possible. He was easy-going and great to work with! The rest of the staff is all very friendly and the equipment is up to date and clean. I highly recommend this place read more

Andres was wonderful. He was very informative and made the application process quick and easy. He gave great information on club services. Highly recommend. The club is very clean and relaxing with good music selection playing as well. read more

Excellence. Excellent classes/ instructors. Excellent trainers. Excellent gym. Quality instructors, sense of community, and cleanliness/ orderliness is what you will find at the Energy Club. We recently moved to Sacramento, CA and I have quickly learned touring several gyms here, the high quality of the Energy Club is a rare find. If you want to find a community at a gym, Energy Club is the place. I highly recommend all of the classes, but especially Tabata taught by Matt and HIT taught by David. Be ready to work though! I was a gym goer prior to joining the Energy Club in 2011, but the team at the Energy Club taught me what it meant to really give fitness my all and make it a regular part of my routine. I recommend starting with a trainer and going from there. They have an all star team of trainers at the Energy Club; you are in good hands with anyone there. The only negative is the child minding availability, but overall it is a great place. We miss this gym and all of the familiar faces! read more

I love this place! I moved to the area about am onth ago and I've been looking all over for a good gym to join. I looked at all the major chains, WSC, Gold's, Bally's, Sport & Health, etc. Some of them had pretty cheap rates but wanted me to sign a 2 or 3-year contract! That's not quite what I'm looking for. The Energy Club is a spectacular facility with some of the nicest and up to date equipment. They even have a little "Energy Cafe" so you can pick up something to drink or a protein bar. The trainers are really nice and knowledgeable. They all know awhat thery're talking about and the training rates are cheaper than most gyms in the area. With my month to month membership here, I've got no obligation and can cancel with no problem if I get relocated again. Without a doubt, it's the best gym in the area. ** IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A GYM, THIS IS THE ONE TO JOIN!!!! read more

I've been a member of The Energy Club for 6+ years. I go daily. The instructors/trainers are excellent...... knowledgeable, professional,creative, and fun! They have kept us sane during Covid by offering many outdoor options like Spin, HIIT, boot camps, yoga, Zumba, Pilates.....! I'm so thankful for The Energy Club. I can't say enough good things about it! Thank you to all the staff and trainers. read more

Very much a boutique gym. Great classes and instructors. Amenities in the bathroom are great for those that want to get a workout in the morning before work. Really enjoyed my time there and would recommend it to anyone. read more

SUMMARY I've been a member of the Energy Club for about a year now, so I figure I'm due to write a review. In summary, I've had a very positive experience with this gym, and I'd recommend it to anyone. I think it's the best gym in the area, and the best gym of which I've ever been a member. If you want the deets on what makes the place great, feel free to read on. DETAILS Facility: The space is admittedly small, but they've organized it very cleverly to make the most of it and I've actually never had to wait for a machine. Even more importantly, everything is noticeably clean which is a big deal for me. The bathrooms are especially nice, and they come well-stocked with razors, lotion, hair dryers, etc., which is a great luxury. The lockers also have coded locks, so you don't have to bring your own lock, which is so nice. It's the little things, guys :) Classes: There are TONS of great class options--zumba, yoga, pilates, tabata, spin, body pump, traditional HIIT classes, and so on. A full schedule is available on their website if you want to see what's currently offered, or you can sign-up to get a free three-day trial pass and try out some classes before you commit to a membership. Some classes fill up fast, so you have to register online beforehand, but I've never had a problem getting into the classes I wanted. Community: If you're looking for community, you can find it here, with tons of classes, socials, workshops, running clubs, etc. And because it's a small community gym, virtually all members live in the area, which is kind of fun. But if you're like me and you sometimes like to throw on some headphones and not be bothered by anyone, people also respect that here. I was a member of LA Fitness at Pentagon City before this and actually cancelled that membership primarily because I could never work out without someone wanting to chat. So I've been happy to find both a sense of community and privacy at this gym. Price: It's true that the gym is more pricey, but you get what you pay for. For me, the beautiful, clean space and huge range of class options makes the Energy Club worth it. Besides, one yoga class at a studio would run me $15-20 a pop, so I think the pricing is actually great if you attend classes frequently. Drawbacks: -1 star as WiFi has been a perpetual problem since I joined the gym a year ago, and I now get zero service or WiFi once I enter the building. It's not a deal-breaker for me personally, since it can be nice to work out without the distraction of constant phone notifications, and because Amazon and Netflix both now offer the option to download content beforehand, so if I want to run for a while on the treadmill, I can still watch my shows while I do so. But this is something to be aware of. Overall: Again I've had a great experience here and would recommend it to anyone in the area. I'd encourage my fellow Shirlington-area neighbors to sign up, or at least get the three-day trial and see what you think. read more

I go to the gym for cardio machines and classes. If I wanted weights and a cheap membership fee, I would go to Gold's. I used to like this gym because it was clean, the machines were nice, it felt new and I liked having fresh towels available. When I went today, the first elliptical I got on had gum on the front of it and some trash in the cup holder. I'll blame that on sloppy, previous users and not the gym. I threw away the trash and decided to ignore the gum...then I realized the sound didn't work on the TV so I stopped my workout and switched. The second elliptical had an "out of service" sign on it. I skipped to the third and started doing my thing. Within a few seconds, the rubber casing on the arms started flopping off because they are over used and had not been glued down. I was losing time so I decided to just ignore the problem though it was very distracting. Fast forward 30 minutes and I go downstairs for a class. There is a wait outside the studio. When the doors finally open from the previous class, everyone rushes in to get a spot. I grab my gear and set up only to realize I am off by a day and it is not Body Pump but Tabata, which I have never taken. The instructor first makes fun of me and says "this isn't a step class, crazy". I explained that I had the days mixed up and then asked what I needed for Tabata. He said I needed a yoga mat and directed me to the area where they normally are but had all been taken. I decided just to use a towel and started looking for a spot. I felt like a kid on a school bus as everyone kept saying "this space is taken...no room here". The instructor made no effort to help me find a place. With no room available, I left feeling crappy and embarrassed. I went back upstairs to use a treadmill and while the sound worked, the monitor did not. It's hard enough to get to the gym at the end of the day when you are tired and miserable. And the Energy Club let me down big time. The machines are old and broken, the instructor was not welcoming, there wasn't even room for me and I left feeling depressed. Oh, and to top it all off, when I got home I had a letter in the mail saying they were raising their rates. Must be for the laundry services; they always have plenty of towels. I think I will be looking for a new gym tomorrow. Gold's couldn't be this bad. At least you get what you pay for. read more

I've been a member of the Energy Club since March 2008. For the first year, I was incredibly happy with the all of the extras that other gyms don't have: towel service, clean and inviting locker areas, helpful staff, and no crowding during peak times. However, in the past six months, the gym has gone under new management, and the classes have suffered as a consequence. I used to attend 3 yoga classes a week, but now I'm looking for other options. They've changed the schedule without notifying members, and can't seem to keep instructors. I'm going to continue my membership with Energy for a few more months, hoping that things will settle down. If you're joining for the classes, you may be disappointed. Otherwise, if you're just looking to get your sweat on, this is the place to be. read more

I've been a member here for about a month now, and have to say I'm pretty pleased. It doesn't quite compare to my last two gyms (Equinox or Vida) but to be fair, I don't think any other gym in the DC area can compete with those two in terms of equipment or amenities. The membership dues are very reasonable. It's about the same I paid to go to the YMCA, and this is a much nicer gym than the Y. It's also less expensive (and in my opinion a better facility) than the Verve Fitness across town in Rosslyn. I like the Energy Club. It's small but I never feel cramped and the staff is nice, Michelle in particular. It's well maintained, clean, and like another reviewer said, it doesn't feel like a warehouse or a storage space or something like that that was haphazardly filled with workout materials and called a "gym" (LA Fitness, I'm looking at you). I am also thankful for the digital locks on the lockers, because I'm terrible at remembering lock combinations. I haven't taken classes or personal training yet, but based on reviews from other reviewers I'm looking forward to doing so. Extras like the happy hour, wine tasting, and things like that are a nice touch as well. I am looking forward to eventually getting certified to use the rock climbing wall, which I'm impressed they manage to fit in the building despite its small size. My complaints are minor; one, I would like to see slightly newer cardio equipment, specifically the treadmills and bikes. Two, parking can sometimes be kind of a pain in the butt - not a problem if you live in Shirlington/within walking distance, but if you're like me and you live in Pentagon City and drive you are limited in where you can park in the adjacent garage before 6pm. Other than those two, though, I have no really major complaints. Recommended. read more

I love this gym!! They have all the fun equipment like kettle balls and tires to flip for everyone use. Unlike other places who reserve the best equipment for those who pay for trainers. They have a great schedule of exercise classes! My favorite is Tabata (sorta like high intensity training) with Matt. There is something for everyone, yoga, spinning, zumba, boxing, etc. One of my favorite feature is the locker rooms. Very CLEAN! And they stock them with towels, shampoo, hair spray, blow dryers, etc. Almost everything you need is there. So you don't have to pack a huge bag just to sneak in a workout before heading to your job in the morning. They have WINE TASTINGS! The Curious Grape next door comes over once a month for free wine tastings. read more

I enjoy being a member of this gym. The equipment is always clean, the classes and instructors are fun. The bathrooms are equipped with anything a girl could need. ***Before you join, you should be aware there is NO cell phone service in the building at all. Energy Club NEEDS to improve their WiFi.*** If you intend to workout to any streaming music, YouTube, pandora- you need to connect to their wifi which is unacceptably slow in my opinion. Other than that issue, it's a great gym. But having music to work out to is extremely important to me so until they improve their spotty wifi, I can only give three stars. Having strong WiFi these days should not be difficult for a gym that costs a fair amount a month to belong to! read more

I checked out this place a few months ago. The pros are that they have a good bit to offer, aren't too busy, and have great amenities. The cons is the cost, it's very expensive for a small amount of space. I think it's something like $70 a month. Go to Xsport Fitness for at least half the cost per month and 5 times the space and equipment. I actually acted new a couple months ago and got a free workout here. I snagged a free razor too! read more

I've been a member at The Energy Club since May of 2008 and am very pleased. It is on the pricey side, but it's worth it to have a very clean, well-run gym with lots of well-maintained equipment and classes with knowledgeable instructors. They do have neighborhood discounts, and regularly send out promotions for reduced or waived enrollment fees. I tend to go at off-peak hours, but even when it's busier in the evenings I do not have to wait for machines or treadmills. There are always plenty of trainers on hand if you have questions, and the receptionists are friendly and know me by name. The locker room (the women's at least) is very, very clean with towel service and other high-end perks like complimentary razors and shower products. They even have hair dryers with diffusers, which I've never seen at the gym. read more

I will agree with the 2014 review of user "AB S," below, the Energy club begs to be inside of a larger space. Wifi is a problem. In 2016, a review of the gym's cramped space and its wifi delivers the gym a 1-2 star rating. My two cents ... the gym should relocate / expand or keep its membership at more rational levels given its small size. The machinery and equipment is usually in working order. The gym is cleaned by dedicated cleaning staff. The staff is friendly and seem to enjoy working here. The members are nice. Classes are plentiful. These aspects deliver the gym a 4-5 star rating. On average a 3 star rating is fair ... A 4/5 star rating would be fair if the gym had wifi and a space to stretch and jump rope without being stepped over by other members. read more

Due to recent events in my life, I had to cancel my membership prematurely - something I was truly disappointed I had to do. Chris and the team responded with nothing but kindness and generosity. It's hard not to feel like businesses these days care more about their bottom lines, but that's not The Energy Club. They put their people and community above all else. That's the kind of place I definitely want to be a part of. read more

The Energy Club maintains a focus on a fun neighborhood atmosphere. The staff is super friendly, during my first two visits, I met the owner, the manager, the marketing director, and several trainers. Membership is all inclusive. (Seriously towels, shampoo, shaving cream, razors, Q-tips, built-in locks on the lockers, everything) They also have a great mix of hi-tech cardio machines, the latest-greatest aerobic classes, and weight training equipment. One of the coolest features though is that they partner with other local businesses like Robeks and The Curious Grape for frequent food tastings and happy hours. How can you beat a gym with free alcohol? All that, plus a 30 foot climbing wall, come together to form a really unique gym that keeps you engaged and never bored. They also have a little mascot dog named Lincoln. read more

Fabulous, fabulous club! I visited this club on a 3 day guest pass and was NOT dissappointed. While I ultimately chose not to join, there's a ton of stuff worth noting. *Equipment - New and plentiful! They even have a booty builder and an enclosed olympic lifting area! *Location - In Shirlington, free parking, and across from a bus station! *Cleanliness - SPARKLING, everywhere *Staff - Carol at the front was a doll! And so was the Thursday AM yoga instructor! *Locker Rooms - Clean and functional. The women's room had everything! Tampons, pads, razors, mouth wash, towels, deodorant, lotion, shampoo, conditioner, shampoo (not that 3 in one shit either), and even shaving cream! The only thing that kept me from joining was the size. It's a small place jam packed with equipment, but absolutely a hidden gem! read more

Coming from a privately owned gym on Long Island that was voted the best group fitness classes 8 years in a row it was hard to relocate and try to find that kind of gym again. Then I found the energy club. It is on the pricier side BUT they offer a variety of classes all day long which makes it easy for anyone to attend, no matter what your schedule. My favorite class (along with pretty much everyone else) is tabata with Matt. He has made my transition to the Virginia area gym scene so much easier just by being himself. My other favorite class is energy combat, which is the most intense boxing class I've ever tried, and I kickboxed 4 times a week for the last 5 years. The only thing I don't like is the fact you're only given a 3 day pass. For someone who is heavily into group fitness I think you need at least a week to try different classes and instructors just to see if it's the right fit for you, especially given the monthly membership fee. If you're looking for a great gym in the alexandria/Arlington area, look no further read more

I've been a member of Energy Club for a year and a half or so. I will say it is true that there is little to no cell service in here. That's a separate issue from wi-fi though. Even if you have wi-fi, your phone calls aren't going to come through regardless. This is a similar issue at many gyms and studios like my Barre studio in Del ray. Get over it. I've always been really impressed with the cleanliness of this gym. The bathrooms are always clean. They have all the products you'd ever need (razors, shampoo, conditioner, tissues, hair dryers, mouthwash). I could actually shower here and not think I'll get a disease. Would never do that at Golds or other large gyms. The staff is also very friendly. Positive vibes all around in here. Nice, small boutique gym and while I was worried it might get too crowded, I feel they have maintained a nice level of membership to keep it feeling comfortable and not overcrowded. Tabata with Lindsay is really good but crowded. If you're into Zumba, all of the instructors are great. The spin classes are all solid too. read more

I lived in Arlington previously and was a member of Sport & Health (Bailey's Crossroads). It was a typical larger gym with a lot of members and some benefits that I didn't particularly care for or use. I recently moved back to Arlington and decided to join The Energy Club over Sport & Health, Bally's, XSport, and Sportrock (I'm a climber). Why did I choose Energy? -it's smaller, so no crowding issues, always clean, much more staff:member interaction than a large gym -not inundated with TVs (who needs a TV on their treadmill) and not loud music -it has a 35 ft. rock wall with a few routes on it, great for me to get a warm-up on (has auto-belay devices). If I had joined just Sportrock, I wouldn't have had the benefit of working out in other ways with my membership fee. Plus, I want to climb more outside! -small classes so more individualized attention from instructors -open houses, wine tastings, happy hours where you bring your dog! -proximity to Fairlington neighborhood- it's a scenic one-mile run -doesn't have the "stuff" other gyms have that I never use and there is room between machines! Overall, The Energy Club is incomparable to the bigger gyms. I was never pressured into getting a membership, unlike another recently opened big gym. Getting a membership is a quick and easy process. The Energy Club has never had a negative thing to say about other gyms because the Energy staff understands they offer a unique gym experience with quality service/equipment and individualized attention. You may pay more because, in essence, you get more. read more

I've been a member for 7 months, and I'm really loving this place. The staff is friendly and helpful, most of the class instructors are excellent, and the equipment's clean and well-maintained. Yes, Energy Club has a small footprint; it's an urban fitness club, and space is at a premium. But, the layout is cleverly designed. Also, the locker room is roomy, beautiful, and packed with amenities. A couple of suggestions for management. First, any health club needs a dedicated stretching area, complete with a padded floor and a big clock with a clear second hand. There were rumors that you were going to create such an area during January 2015 renovations, but it never happened. It's just wrong that people need to do their post-workout stretching on the floor between machines. Second, the downstairs is dark and dingy. You might want to add some color, and put something on the concrete floors, to make it more inviting. read more

I love this gym. It is the answer to the cons which I've noticed in other gyms. Here is why: - SIZE - Energy club is small; not that it lacks anything, but it is not a warehouse filled haphazardly with fitness machines. It's small enough that you will meet people and feel like you are really a part of the gym. -LIFESTYLE - From the time you enter the gym, you feel as though this gym can easily fit into your lifestyle, from the class schedules to the happy hours which are set up for members. The philosophy of the gym is that the work outs which you do are for a life time. The people which you see, you will get to know. It is not a gym for people who work out for 2 months out of the year and stop using their membership all together. - STAFF- Michelle, who signed me up for the gym is the face to know, and she always greets everyone who comes in. Due to the size of the gym and the mission, they staff at the gym makes it feel like another home for you. -Extra Gym Perks - include Happy Hours, Parent's night, wine tastings, Rock/wall climbing classes, fitness work shops, running shoe fittings. - PERSONAL TRAINING - GREAT EXPERIENCE. I used my two free personal training sessions when I first joined and loved it. Unfortunately, I could not afford the package that I wanted at the time, but I found it extremely helpful. My trainer's name is KENNY, and at the first session, we discussed my goals, meal plan, measurements, exercises to get there, and how to properly warm up and control my pulse rate. He was not pushy at all, and really taught me skills which have been helpful to me. -CLASSES - Instructors are great. There is a main room, Yoga room, and Spin room. The classes are challenging - They will make you sweat. As mentioned above, you tend to see the same faces in the classes and because most members stay at the gym and continue working on there, there is not huge turnover and the veterans really make you feel welcome and help you. - LOCKER ROOMS - have everything you need from shampoo, soap, lotion, mouth wash, etc. Overall, this has been my favorite gym. It is a motivating environment which I want to go to and makes me feel like working out. Having said all of that, it is pricier than some, but if you commit to working out the classes are great and you will most likely make some new friends there as well. read more

If you are looking for a smaller gym with personal attention and great trainers and instructors, then this is the gym for you. I have been here for 5 years and was in no way a gym rate before I joined energy club. When you join you receive a free consult with a trainer. It was really helpful to get recommendations on where to start. I began with body pump, body jam and a bunch of other classes. Jim Scott's Friday morning HIT class is the best. Great personal attention and its fun. Everyone in the class is really nice and supportive. All of the HIT classes are really good - David is tough and Eben is great too. Laurie is a great spin instructor as is Cheryl, Megan (who is new) and Kelly. They really kick your butt and keep you motivated. I started training with Lisa Bush a couple years ago - she is amazing (though sadly on leave right now). So I moved onto Ish who is great. Very fun and gives you a great workout (I am in small group training with him). Tom and his entire staff is amazing and supportive. They make you stronger, healthier and you have fun (or as much as you can while working out). This gym is all about motivating their members. They know your name, ask where you have been when you slack off and make you want to come back. It's why i am still an active member after all these years. Yes, its more pricey then other gyms in the area but they make it worth it. They have social gatherings, athletic competitions, weight competitions, etc. The gym is always clean with plenty of towels (which apparently are not included at other gyms). The locker rooms are extremely well kept and while the gym is smaller i rarely wait for equipment or machines. Just do it. You won't regret it. read more

I joined The Energy Club 3 years ago and was 40lbs heavier at the time. Since I have joined, I lost the weight and kept it off thanks to the helpful staff and great equipment. There is always free equipment and the facilities are kept incredibly clean. In addition to this, the gym is a great place to meet other great people and hang out at the happy hours and wine tastings. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to get in shape or is just looking for a place to workout. read more

I've been a member of the Energy Club for about three months and I'm really pleased with the facility, the staff, and especially the equipment. My work out time is mornings before work and I never have to wait for equipment like I have at other facilities. It is pricier than others, but I have found it easy to accept that when everything is clean, the people are nice and very helpful, and the equipment is top-notch. I also did a month of personal training which I highly recommend for those of you getting back in the groove after a break. The trainers there are all total kick-butt...you might be sore, but you'll know you got your money's worth! I'm a free-weight person and I think the equipment is very good and diverse. But if you're a big dude throwing around 200lb dumbbells, then this may not be your first pick. I didn't give it five stars because it's not very kid friendly. There are limited child minding hours and it is geared towards tiny kids and babies (the person watching the kids was very sweet, though). The I'm not able to go to the classes I want to because they don't offer child care during those prime hours. When I tried it once for a quick work-out, my eight year old looked at me like "Really? You want me to hang here for an hour with the babies?" They do have a program for pre-teens to train them on the equipment but I found very little kids between 5ish and 12. Oh, the rock wall is currently not being used because they are looking for somebody trained to use it - I hope they do that soon because I'd love to start climbing again. If child care is not an issue, I highly recommend this gym! read more

I've been a member here for a few months now and really love this place! I don't feel intimidated when I'm in the weight area, it never feels crowded and the environment is filled with energy. I see a lot of other members working with trainers (I used the one free pass and really liked the advice the trainer gave). I've heard horror stories about some of my friends' gyms and I'm lucky that I only have good things to say about this place. The only downside it the cost...but the convenient location and environment are worth it for me. read more

Great gym, clean with nice equipment and friendly staff. Also you can normally get what you need without having to wait for it.

Clean, friendly, solid equipment, great classes, awesome staff who either knows you by name or will soon after you join...not the pumped up meat market lik other gyms in the area (I've been a member of Golds, Sport and Health, & Xsport) I def like this gym over the others...everyone coming here is pretty much in the neighborhood or works close by . I recommend it for folks looking for a gym in the Shirlington/Arlington areas. read more

This place is really great - from the process of trying it out and sign up to using it day-to-day. The Energy Club has the opposite business model of most gyms, which make money when customers DON'T come. read more

I've been going to Energy for about 9mos. now & it's a great place to workout. The atmosphere is welcoming & encouraging and you can't help but feel good about your workout. Their classes are great - I personally love TABATA with Matt & Spin with Txu....both instructors know how to blend a hard work with a lot of fun, so you walk out feeling awesome & smiling. I've also just taken HITT with David on Saturday mornings & why have I waited so long?...There are a number of other classes too, like Zumba, various styles of yoga, & cardio boxing - so if you like group classes, you'll definitely find the right one for you. There are also a number of personal trainers who are always happy to help you succeed and get you beyond what you thought you could accomplish. The physical aspects and amenities of the gym are wonderful...the equipment is current & there are nice perks like free towel service & all the shower supplies you could need post workout. Unlike so many warehouse type gyms.....Energy is a nice change...you feel like the staff want you enjoy your workout & get the most out of it. read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review about this place yet! I've been a member since September 2013 and really have enjoyed my time there. I've tried a lot of the classes and have also worked with a trainer. I did Crossfit for a short period of time too, but unfortunately it had to be eliminated due to lack of space. I absolutely love Zumba with Karmina! Her energy is unlike any instructor I've ever encountered. If you're having a bad day just take a class with Karmina and you'll feel a lot better! I can't wait to take Piloxing with her this week! I love to take Tabata with Matt during the warmer weather because it's held outside on the roof of the parking garage. There's a ton of space for a lot of people. Unfortunately, once the weather changes the class is moved inside and you have to sign up due to limited space. During this time I choose to do other things. I tried Body Pump for the first time tonight with JoAnne and loved it! I'm definitely looking forward to doing this class regularly. She's bubbly and personable and I didn't feel like I stuck out like a sore thumb. All in all, I really love this gym. They did a mini makeover recently and added some new equipment so understandably the membership fee increased, but only by $5. I'd say that's a small price to pay to be a part of such a great gym. read more

Very nice private gym , the energy club is a good place to invest money on . Because, if you invest in yourself you will feel more self worth, with much more energy and good a different person. I haven't been at Ambitious Athletics long, but I love it already - I've never belonged to a gym where the trainer seemed to actually care that I don't get hurt or burn out too quickly like I have every time I've attempted a gym or program in the past. I also love the different classes they have in the morning. I am pretty shy at first, but people have been inclusive and helpful, giving me pointers and motivation. Overall great gym read more

I discovered this two-story gym because of a Living Social deal, and I am glad I did. The Yoga classes are absolutely amazing, and are offered for all levels. Further, the gym is clean, with showers, sundires, and auto-lock lockers, and unintimidating. Everyone is nice and friendly, and it is easy to integrate yourself into the atmosphere, especially because they have social events every so often, inlcuding wine tastings. Classes are offered all throughout the day and evening; the 7:30pm Yoga classes are perfect for anyone who works long hours and needs to unwind. There is a variety of equipment offered, and though I've heard some guys complain about the selection on weights, all in all this is a great place to work out and refresh. read more

I've been a member of the Energy Club since they opened back in 2005, but it seems to be going downhill as of late. Fist the positives. It's always clean and the Tabata class taught by Matt is great. Matt himself is great. I wish he'd go open up his own space and teach Matt classes all day and all night. Now the negatives. Something they could easily fix....their web site. It's so outdated and so unhelpful. I've even asked them to update it. Nothing. The manager featured on the main page has been gone for months. Teachers who aren't there anymore are still on the schedule. If there is a holiday, it would be nice to go online and check out the special hours, but no, you have to make a phone call. And no one wants to make phone calls anymore. If you do call to check on what teacher will be subbing for a class you plan on attending, the front desk normally has no idea. Lately they have been having a hard time retaining good teachers because they don't seem to care what the club members WHO PAY THEIR SALARIES want. A spinning teacher recently left after 8 years with the club. Great class, popular teacher but she dared to ask for a raise - it would have been her first one in 8 years but they told her to hit the road Much as those of us who regularly attended begged them to get her to stay, it fell on deaf ears. My point is....I don't think they care so much what the clients want once they have your monthly fees. Management seems to think that just existing for us is all we are owed. If you are just into lifting weights and using cardio equipment it's probably not too bad but if you plan to take classes, try not to get too attached to any particular teacher and try not to make any requests cuz they just don't care. read more

I have been a member at this gym since 2005 and I have been very happy with it until recently. There are other gyms in the area that have higher fees. Despite what a few other reviews say about the gym being messy, it is a clean gym and the staff does work throughout the day to keep it clean. I have seen far dirtier and more expensive places. I am no longer happy with the gym because they have rearranged all of the equipment to free up a large space for what appears to be intended for the personal trainers working with clients. All of the free weight equipment is now crammed so close together that two people cannot work on benches that are next to each other. There used to be a couple of racks of the smaller dumbells. Now there is only one and it is situated upstairs in an area with very limited space. If one person is working in that space, no one else can be in it, but there are at least three peices of equipment there and a bench. When the new year's resolutioners show up in January, it will be particularly ugly. I'm starting to think that I need to shop for a new gym. read more
