Great facility and faculty. Be careful with the terms and conditions when your contract is ending. I was finishing a two-year contract with them and was moving away so decided not to renew. I called to confirm that was the case with one of their employees. Apparently that information was incorrect as I was charged after my contract ended. I called to clarify/rectify the situation and was told that I needed to send a "30 Days Notice of Cancellation" email to actually end the payments, so the confirmation phone call was incorrect and I was still charged. Seems like they really needed that extra month's fee. That being said, the gym is great, just make sure you are careful and send your email to confirm cancellation (sent to customercare@abcfitness.com). read more

5-Star Review I absolutely love TFE South Riding! The facility is exceptionally clean, spacious, and has an incredible variety of equipment, making it easy to change up your workouts and keep things interesting. The wide selection of classes included in the monthly membership is another huge plus. As a retiree who loves to travel, one of my favorite benefits is the ability to freeze my membership when I'm away for extended periods. That flexibility is a real bonus and makes the membership a much better value for us. The trainers are knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping members reach their goals. Tina deserves a special shout-out--she takes great pleasure in helping you improve, challenging you in the right ways, and celebrating your progress along the way. TFE has a great atmosphere, excellent amenities, and a team that truly cares about its members. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, welcoming gym with plenty of options to stay motivated and make progress! read more

I want to thank TFE for fixing the basketball nets soon after my initial review. They keep the place clean & well maintained. I do prefer paper towels over hand blowers. I use the tissue boxes instead. read more

Defective equipments, no upgrades same old equipments from 10 years ago. Broken and dirty toilets. The service and quality has gone down significantly in the last few years. read more

We recently tried out one of the kids' night out events at this gym for the first time, and it was a fantastic experience! The deal is great--$35 for members and $50 for non-members--for a 4-hour session (5-9 PM). This location offers so much for kids to enjoy, including an indoor ninja warrior gym and a multi-level play gym with thick netting and slides to climb and explore. They even have electronics for watching shows, which is perfect for kids who might prefer a more introverted vibe. I was a bit hesitant at first since we hadn't done any parent night outs before, but our kid was raving about how much fun they had when we picked them up. They loved the idea of a special event at the gym without parents--it made them feel like it was their own little adventure. Also was worn out when we collected them around 8:30 and slept well! This experience has definitely opened our eyes to participating in more of these events in the future. Highly recommend giving it a try if you're on the fence--your kids might love it as much as ours did! read more

Great facility with friendly staff. Lots of parking as well. They have corporate discounts in case you work for a big company that might have a partnership with them. I'm no longer a member there but when I wanted to get out of my contract it was easy. Just found someone to take over my contract and they got my current discounted rate and I paid a $100 transfer fee. Did it all through email and didn't have to go in. read more

I happened to be in the area the other day and tried out this location. WOW, so much better than the One Loudoun location that I wish I lived closer. It's bright, spacious, and clean. Seems like way less broken equipment and newer equipment where you can actually read the labels on weights and such. The staff were very friendly and helpful too, and the locker rooms are a bit nicer. None of the broken shower doors and such like One Loudoun. My only complaints with this location would be that the sauna seemed like it was barely on, and they could use a tad more equipment. Seems like they have all that space but I didn't see a good decline press machine or leg curl machine and some other standards. Their functional fitness area also looked fairly basic. read more

love this gym!!! been going here for 5+ years. best gym in the area by far. I regularly attend many of the classes and love the instructors. It also has all of the weight lifting equipment anyone could need. read more

One of the best gyms in the area. I switched memberships from our rec center as I found it less crowded and really liked the variety of classes available. Everyone is friendly, machines are well maintained and instructors are encouraging. read more

Even when I dont feel like going to the gym, when I get to the Fitness Equation I remember why I rarely miss coming in. All the folks who work here are incredibly helpful, courtesy, and kind. The gym is CLEAN, well maintained, and has more equipment than any one person could use. I don't participate in any classes but even early in the morning I see the same large of regulars attending their classes. The Fitness Equation is a great gym! -RPP read more

Great gym. Plenty of machines to choose from. The staff are really attentive and friendly. I like that they are welcoming and they acknowledge your departure from the gym. read more

Very clean facility. Lots of natural light. Equipment in very good shape. The assistant manager was very friendly and helpful.

Nice facility. Most of the equipment is in good shape. In my expirence, all the people/customers are normal and leave each other alone.

So much to do at The Fitness Equation! Numerous rooms for weight lifting and various exercise classes, as well as a welcoming and very friendly staff! So glad I joined! read more

I would say the gym is good. I'm on a monthly membership, and the price is average compared to other gyms in the area. It feels like the gym might be a bit small, especially during peak hours when every machine/bench/station is busy. It does have pretty much everything you need though. Another basketball court would be a perfect addition. The employees are also all really nice and helpful. read more

The facilities are clean and spacious. The staff and instructors are incredibly helpful and friendly. And the Zumba class that my brother and I participate in is so much fun, the highlights of our week! read more

Very deceptive business practices. One has to ask how to become a member without being enrolled in 3 personal training sessions. Telling me that I would receive 3 FREE personal training sessions when in fact I was billed $55 / session + an additional $192. NOT A HAPPY member and DO NOT RECOMMEND this gym due to the deceitful practices. read more

The Fitness Equation great for me. The equipment is in good shape, the place is always clean, and the vibe good. The sauna was the most important thing for me. Everyone there seems friendly and supportive. I recommend checking it out. read more

Great facility. Very clean. If you are looking for a great place to workout and find everything you need it's great. Amazing people here, highly recommend. read more

Big gym and has everything you need to get a good workout. Super clean and lots of equipment. Great location!

FIRST OF ALL THIS GYM IS NOT WORTH 80 DOLLARS A MONTH....many better options. I've been going to this gym for about four years, slowly I've seen the gym get worse and worse. Many machines are broken and take weeks to fix, and the gym gets way to crowded in the afternoon can barely get my workout done. The WORST part is they're sneaky I signed a one year membership with them and was never told it auto renews. I talked to one of the managers about canceling my membership in April, but he said I had one month left on my membership and to ride it out. So that's what I did because my 1 year membership ended in may. Little did I know I've been getting charged for the past two months because my contract AUTO RENEWS. I was never told this when getting my membership. Read your contract with them thoroughly. read more

I truly enjoy being a member at this gym! The hours are perfect. The entire staff is friendly and helpful from the moment you walk through the doors. I've been to a couple of classes and they really challenged me and help me to push to the next level. They have a daycare which I think is awesome. They also have activity nights for children which enable the parents to have a date night. There is a plethora of equipment on two different floors. The bathrooms and locker rooms are always kept nice and clean. I've noticed that the staff continuously cleans the equipment throughout the gym. If you're looking for a new gym or you're considering this one, choose TFE!! read more

Great location!!!! Clean, wide open floor plan, and the equipment is always in great condition.

I've been a member at this gym for many years. I joined shortly after it opened because it is closer to my home than any other gym. I go to the gym every day and know most of the morning regulars. Bodybuilding/hypertrophy is my main focus, but I do some form of cardio nearly every day too. I've been going to gyms very consistently for alot of years across the US. I'm very frustrated with this gy First the positive: There is alot of square footage. Its clean. The staff are nice. Locker rooms don't stink. The equipment that they have is mostly good. There are only a few pieces that I think aren't worth using. The layout works pretty well. They don't have any overly restrictive rules. Now what drives me nuts: - If something breaks, it takes FOREVER for it to be fixed. They have 4 stepmills, one has been out of service for months. A simple cable issue can take many weeks to get fixed. Its crazy. And things break alot. Right now they have the stepmill, the only Freemotion cable system (extremely heavily used...because there aren't enough pulleys), dip machine, and the only water bottle filler on the top floor are all broken. The only leg extension has a pad thats completly ripped open right where your right leg should go. It should have been replaced 4 weeks ago. I've been using a towel that I bring from home to pad my leg for the past few weeks. - They haven't added any new machines since they opened many years ago. - They don't have enough lifting equipment for a gym that size. They only have one of most of the pieces of equipment that are the most heavily used so there is alot of waiting for machines unless the place is empty. One Smith Machine, one Leg Extension (except for a unilateral one), one seated straight bench press, etc. I feel they should also have a bigger diversity of machines. Some additional Hammer back machines and a darned seated leg curl please! They have TONS of room where they could add equipment. Its especially frustrating when you've paid them so much money over the years...and continue to pay. - The bathroom hardware is horrible. The toilets get stuck blasting water wide open way too often. When they do, it takes forever to get fixed. I can't imagine how much water they've wasted. One of the water bottle fillers was stuck open for several days recently. High volume water pouring down the drain...for days. I'm talking like at least 4 days. Thats happened multiple times. I can't imagine how many thousands of gallons they've wasted. The sinks in the locker room are terrible too, but for a different reason. They are motion activated for the water and they have built in blowers...built into the faucets. You try to wet your hands and get blasted with air. No paper towels at all. The worst part for me is the fact that they need more pieces/machines, they haven't added any (ever), the ones they have break frequently, and when something breaks it takes forever to get them fixed. PLEASE GET MORE GEAR. Those of us who have been paying dues every month for many years deserve it. read more

Large facility, clean functional equipment, equipment. Nice Shower facilities. Lots of stairmaster. People don't act wierd

I would like to highlight Katie, Bella, and Savannah that work in the Kids Gym. I confidently drop off my two babies every single day - 2 years old and 9 months old - knowing that they will be fully taken care of. I have full confidence, in all three of those girls, that they will make my kiddos smile, laugh, and feel safe & loved. They always know what to do to keep them active and busy - like blowing bubbles, coloring / drawing, doing puzzles, and playing basketball with them. I love picking them up because I know that they will be exhausted, right in time for a good nap. Katie, Bella, and Savannah are: 1. Super professional and friendly. 2. Natural at taking care of young children. 3. Excellent at making children feel comfortable and loved, away from their parents. 5 stars for all three of them! read more

This gym has so much potential. Marcus was great when we were members. The down stairs is a mess, people don't put away their weights and the front desk are just on their phone. I've done the fitness class regularly and floors were not cleaned regularly, dirt and hair was built up. Management lacked all the care in the world even after emailing them multiple times. read more

TFE has so much to offer for anyone who is on their weight loss journey! Whether you're there for a cardio day or wanting to get some mindfulness from a yoga class, TFE has it all! The staff is always around to help with whatever you may need, and the facility is spotless every time I go in! I workout harder in a place I am comfortable with and I am proud to call TFE my home gym! read more

One star because that was the lowest. They lie. Do not sign a contract. They will say you can freeze it. BS This place is a scam! You contract is sold ASAP! read more

I am new to the area, and was checking out the local gyms. I am a mother of 3 children 6, 3, and 18 months. I took them to the kids gym and I met the most caring and nice young women running the kids gym. I believe her name was Brionna. I had to come on yelp and just rave about how much fun my children had. As soon as I picked them up, they were elated and filled with stories about the numerous activities and games Brionna orchestrated. I was on the fence with which gym to Join but after seeing how the kids gym was ran. I am completely committed to The fitness equation. read more

I've been going to this gym for 3 years and I really enjoy it the only thing I would say is to please have a working sauna. Every time I go there's a closed sign. I really enjoy the sauna before and after a workout and would be really nice to use it again. Got a note from the VP of the situation regarding the sauna and I completely understand why it's currently down. Nonetheless, I enjoy my classes and the workout overall! read more

Jason contacted me with my concerns. He seemed genuinely interested making sure I was happy with the experience at the TFE. He updated me on the policy about gym bags. A draw string bag is now allowed in the floor while working out. The missing equipment issue has been looked at and they feel there is enough accessories to accommodate. I don't believe there are enough cable handles for all stations. Now that I can continue to bring my bag with accessories, I will overlook that one. Overall, fairly fast response with positive results. read more

Solid equipment! Gotten a little more pricier in the past year, but nonetheless it's a reasonable rate when compared to nearby gyms. Love the sauna, that's a dealbreaker for me. Overall good place to throw some iron around! read more

My daughter transferred over her membership to myself and Sean took the time to make sure everything was accurate with the process! He was very helpful! Front desk very friendly! Have used the gym twice already and love all the equipment! Looking forward to trying the classes! read more

Friendly staff, clean facilities, lots of options in equipment, and best yet don't ever feel judged. Everyone comes in smiles and goes about their workout never feeling like it's a just a social spot where folks hang out (unlike some gyms)! Love it! read more

Great gym. Tons of equipment and lots of space. Not as many group class options available as I'd wish. Very clean. Lots of potential.

TFE is a great place to train and get better. I recommend Obaid Amin as personal trainer and coach. I am a student athlete playing Basketball at Lightridge High School and I have been fortunate to do some training with Obaid and he has helped me gain strength, speed, endurance, and has helped me increase my vertical for my sport which I am greatly appreciative for. I enjoy coming to the gym and learning and improving every day. Thank You TFE and Coach Obaid. read more

Jason, in membership, was very helpful navigating the transfer process. Love the classes and instructors. Front desk staff is always friendly. read more

The gym is great! Well equipped, clean, and a very friendly staff. The membership services team, especially Sean Reiners is very professional. Due to family circumstances, I had to transfer my membership to someone else. Sean made the experience seamless. This is the best gym in the area and I wish I could have stayed longer. read more

Great facility but it's like a HS PE class after 5 and management will take no responsibility for the atmosphere. It's not a member's job to do so. read more
