I used to work out here pre-COVID. I love the classes. She also offers personal training. It's so helpful for me because I'll definitely find a reason to not workout or give it 100%. The coaches are encouraging and the workouts are great. It's such a supportive community for all abilities and levels. read more

Coach Maia and and the other coaches are amazing and helpful. I just completed the 6-week challenge with them and I can guarantee that it is possible if you follow their instructions and work outs. I was able to lose 19 pounds and over 6% body fat in 6 weeks. You also get the support from other people in the gym and that is something I needed in my life. Gym has lot of parking, so that is not an issue. Classes are challenging but not impossible and they will give you alternates so you do you. They have all the equipment needed for each class. I recomend you to go check it out. Thank you Coach Maia and to all the other coaches for your support. read more

The Worx by Maia - Gyms Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

An incredible group of trainers! The most well thought out programs for daily classes. Clean and organized. They are so personal. Excellent boundaries! I paid for individual training and that took me to a whole other level of progress. At first it's hard, but then they call you! to do what you can. Maia is so special with her vibes and energy. Yuki is funny and motivating in a way that just makes you forget the sore. Mirenda is energetic and patient. Steven is in your face and perfectionist about form love them all!! It's worth it. Special in a way when you just have no idea where to start. read more

I just completed a six-week challenge at the Worx by Maia and I love the results. I lost 14 lbs, despite taking almost a week "off" to celebrate my birthday. The meal plan was very doable and I didn't feel deprived at all. In fact, I plan to continue to eat the same way because I could lose a few more pounds. Maia, Alison, and all the other staff are very supportive and are rooting for you to succeed. I couldn't work out at the Worx because of the commute, so Maia created special workout videos and sent them to me each week to do at my building's gym. I've been avoiding the gym for years, but the challenge finally broke this evil spell and helped me get back into a workout routine again, and I love that! Gaining control over my eating and restarting my workouts has given my self-confidence a huge boost: I proved to myself that I can stick with something difficult and see it through. This has already cascades into other areas of my life and my business. I'm sure there are fancier gyms with more bells and whistles out there, but few are going to match the genuine expertise, care, support and camaraderie that you'll find at the Worx. read more

The Worx by Maia - Gyms Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I went to a Yelp Event at the The Worx By Maia on 5/17/15. I am a bit of gym rat and was familiar with some of the activities (e.g. TRX, burpees) that Maia (the owner), trainers and her volunteers (for the event) had me do. That being said the work out introduced me to some new activities (I had seen but had never done) like pushing a very large tire or swinging ropes. The gym is very convenient to where I live (and happy Yelp introduced me to it). I liked the fact that the gym offers in addition to traditional circuit training other classes like P9X (which I plan on trying at a later date). The gym is in an industrial area which is perfect for this "cross fit like" gym. Parking is also plentiful; and, although I did not take the metro I think you could walk to it from the station. I can't speak to this personally from what it means to be enrolled in one of their programs but from what I saw and experienced at the Yelp event; it is a great gym if you're new to fitness or are working to lose weight. It is a very supportive environment (which you could tell from the trainer I worked with (e.g. we got high fives everytime we completed a circut). The personalization and variety of the circuit training (exercises) was also very good. The majority of the cardio activities are not done on equipment but rather using your own body (e.g. running in place, suicides). As an individual who is into fitness, I think this is really great. Although equipment is useful, a lot of people will use not having equipment as an excuse for not working out. I loved when Maia said "the goal is to just keep moving". I truly believe in this. (I am that person who will park further away from a store to force myself to walk and get some exercise.) In a nutshell a really good gym with motivating staff that challenges you and keeps you accountable when it comes to incorporating exercise into your daily routine. read more

The Worx by Maia - Outside the gym. - Gyms Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I joined The Worx 1 year ago, their staff is amazing and the environment is welcoming and comfortable. With all the amazing love and support both inside and out of the gym i was able to loose 65lbs. "You do you" is their motto but with the coaches supporting you along your workout everyday you strive for better... thank you! read more

I've been a member of the Worx for 3 years now. It's home. I'm a teacher, mother of an 8 year old, and beyond busy is the best way to describe me. The location is convenient and the Worx has become a necessity to my life rather than a choice. Having a child, it isn't easy to attain my "me" time but coming here has become part of our daily routine. My daughter loves coming with me and doesn't mind sitting in the small "waiting" area because she has full sight of me while there and the clients that continuously come to the Worx are welcoming of her presence. In addition, the owner has created a relationship with the very fun kid indoor play area next door - Scramble so that for a small fee my daughter gets to play as I work out next door! They will even provide her dinner for an additional fee. The trainers are all very friendly and highly motivating. There are continuous challenges, outside the gym activities, social groups and outings that occur among the members that really make you feel part of a "family". The motto of the gym is "do you" so while they push you to go harder, they provide modifications that fit your fitness level. It's an amazing facility with flexible hours to fit your schedule to make fitness become a lifestyle rather than something you feel you have to do. Daily high fives and smiling faces always help to make the battle of staying fit much easier here! read more

A girlfriend suggested I join her for a bootcamp-like workout session at the Worx because her boyfriend was teaching the Tuesday evening class. I was a bit skeptical at first, having gone to a different "bootcamp" gym in Fairfax a few months ago which ended up being the most useless session of my life. But not the case here. They really challenge and push you to your limits for the one hour that you're there. There are people of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds but everyone is equally motivated/hard working--making the environment so fun and pleasant! It makes the workout less intimidating and you go at your own pace to do the best that YOU can. There is no judgment and down talk here.The teacher and other coaches really guide you to ensure that your technique/form is correct so that you stay on the right track. The actual session was split into six stations of alternating group work so everyone motivates and encourages one another and the variations of the different workout stations allows you to really target different areas of your body. They also play really good, upbeat music which is an added bonus. Your first class is free and if you bring three friends, you get three classes for free. I believe it's $5 per session, but they also have monthly plans available. They have class times in the morning, afternoon, and evenings to cater to everyone's needs. A good challenge, positive and friendly people makes for a great workout environment-- I surely had a great time! read more

The Worx by Maia - TRX suspension! One of my favorite workout equipment - Gyms Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I 1st one to start off by saying this is more than a gym, It's a community. I started my weight loss journey January 11th 2019 and I've been holding off writing this review for a while now. I've encountered So many experienced coaches and trainers, that are well educated in nutrition , weight loss and fitness also great motivators. I started off with a 6 week challenge and during that time I lost 16 pounds, I was amazed!. Out of all the Fitness centers, fad diets, personal trainers and Nutritionist; I have never gotten long lasting, life changing results until I encountered The Worx. After the 6 wk challenge I decided to join and I did that for me because I deserve it plus it was working. During my journey at The Worx I gained a healthy mindset, great discipline and my self esteem leveled up. I lost a total of 50lbs from the start of January 11th til August of 2019 . I was ecstatic !! not only did I look better but I felt so much better too. my energy level went up my self esteem went up and I will look great. By all means this gym, No, this community is by far the best choice I have made for my life change. I will recommend anyone who is searching for MORE to give The Worx a try and give yourself a chance. YOU DESERVE IT! read more

The Worx by Maia - Before/After - Gyms Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I never thought I'd say this about working out but I love working out....thanks to The Worx!! Every time I come, I'm challenged and never bored. They offer different classes every day and they kick my butt each time. I leave drenched in sweat in just 45 minutes. I love the group setting of the classes because you work as a team and motivate each other. Great coaches and good people all around. So I say, check it out for yourself. read more

Wasn't sure what to expect from the Worx but it was an A+ experience. The gym staff is very friendly and Maia led us through a basic Worx class...and works is definitely what they do and we also did cardio too. Needless to say, it was a very intense and FUN hour! The trainers were upbeat and positive. Loved the focus that the staff placed on incremental improvement e.g., being better tomorrow than today, rather than being a current master of the activity. Another refreshing difference was the team environment and team spirit -- I loved the team focus and team including each participant in the training -- not just the training staff. Thank you Worx for creating such an inspiring and motivation environment. read more

I have been to The Worx By Maia a few times and I wish you could give zero stars on Yelp because that's what this joke of a gym deserves. I really wanted to love this gym because of all of the reviews I read on here, but they definitely do not accurately represent this awful place. First of all, the gym is so disgusting and run-down, and as someone else mentioned, there is only one bathroom. Yet a membership to this gym is THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS PER MONTH. Absolutely ridiculous. I also found out that the workouts are pretty much all copied straight from Beachbody, and you can find all of the workouts and meal plans from the classes and challenges online for free. This gym is not doing anything special. Oh, and the trainers are not even real trainers. They are all former clients that Maia put through some training program. They don't even advise you on your form or anything, they just show you the moves at the beginning of the class and expect you to do them correctly. As I said before, it's a big joke. Save your money. Also, the owner (Maia) is extremely stuck up and rude. She was super "nice" to me when I was shelling out the money for her ridiculously overpriced gym, but as soon as I canceled my membership her true colors came out. So all in all this gym and the owner are awful and I highly advise you to go pretty much anywhere else. read more

The Worx by Maia is one special location, and the owner as well as the trainers are all amazing in what they do and what they stand for. In past gyms I haven't felt as uplifted, supported, or encouraged as I did working with Maia herself. She works with you in a way that leaves you pushing past the reasons you have for giving up; she wants you to succeed, and you can feel her excitement for helping you reach your goals in her speech and actions. I would highly recommended this gym to anyone who has goals they want to meet and aspirations to achieve. You'll be a whole new person working with this wonderful team of trainers who care and desire to lift you up to your highest self; to a place where you are happy in your skin and content with your quality of life. read more

Love LOVE Love the Worx! I even cancelled my five year XSport Fitness membership to join the Worx Family! The coaches are amazing, they push you, hold you accountable and make you sweat minimizing fitness injuries. Even better, I have formed a new network of fitness friends. read more

After trying out quite a few of fitness studios throughout the years, I can confidently say that the Worx by Maia stands out amongst all the rest! They offer a variety of classes and class times in an unintimidating, yet challenging and motivating environment. You can tell the instructors are passionate about what they do and that pushes you to work harder. I've never been really good at consistently sticking to a workout, but I found myself going to the worx 4 times a week because I loved the progress I was making. After my first month, I felt stronger and more toned than I ever have before! read more

Can you say amazing?!?! I recently lost 90 pounds and was looking to add some strength training to my routine. This studio by far hands down was the best decision I've ever made. You feel at home through the first interaction! I will be a forever client here! read more

I love WorX! It has been 1 year since I joined, so I count as a regular now. Love it, simple! A common misconception is that WorX is a gym for ladies only! "Classes are not for guys!" Jeeezz! Hahahhahaha... Mistake! Workout routines are very challenging for every level! Find it easy? Pick a heavier weight! WorX regulars are ripped and strong! Men and women alike. I first joined WorX after graduating from law school, taking the bar, and being physically unengaged for too long. During the first class, I was literally dying! I was seeing circles... Yet I came the next day and the day after... It was a battle against myself for my direct benefit. I like WorX family because they motivate me. Thinking of those times when I show up for a workout but not really feeling it. It's self-pity speaking in my head: "Ughhh... I can't do any more pushups in this round. I'll lean on my knees until the countdown!" And then I look to the left (or right), and there is this WorXer owning those pushups! Pumping it! "I want to be strong like him/her! I want to be able to "pump it" just like that!" - that's what get's me going. WorX is the tool in achieving your goals! Use it! The trainers are there to advise and answer your questions. The Challenges get you hooked on a good diet and a workout routine. A 200+ pages Nutrition Guide was such a discovery for me! I learned about hormones and macros and metabolic rates and much more. WorX also offers the InBody machine which outputs your PBF, lean body mass, and other fun things inside your body. Come and try it out! read more

Maia has a great personality and dedicates her time to clients. Love the kick start program. Good parking. Super clean, it makes me feel safe during Covid. read more

I joined the Worx over a year ago and I have to say it was the best decision I ever made. Not only did it help me meet my fitness goals, Maia and the rest of the trainers are so supportive it really feels like you are with family. I never liked going to gyms before because they were not very welcoming, but the worx really goes above and beyond to make it feel like your home. If you haven't tried the worx, give it a try! read more

Since moving here last year, I have tried multiple gyms. This is the first that I really love. The classes are only 45 minutes, there's so many options for class times, and you leave feeling like you got a great workout. Highly recommend! read more

The Worx is truly a family fitness environment...full of encouragement and motivation from everyone!!

I started the 6 - week challenge with Maia and it has changed my life. No only did it help me with accountability but it also gave me a safe space to work out. I was very nervous to make the change as I have had two knee surgeries and have had back issues as well, but this was the best decision of my life. Allison took the time to have a special class last week to help with form and technique where I learned so much about my body and how to get the most out of my work out. Carol is tough but so encouraging at the same time which makes it feel so cool as you feel yourself getting stronger. Today I worked out with Yuki and it was the most fun I have had while working my butt off. This team is both professional and helpful by consistently going above and beyond. I know that not all 6- week challengers get the results they want, but to be honest you get out of it what you put into it. I have seen people post that they were traveling and "didn't do so well" but are then surprised when they don't get the results. It is definitely not always easy to stick to the commitments you make, but this team is there to help you anyway that they can. I HIGHLY recommend them. read more

I have been going to WorX on and off but I always seem to find way back there. I love the environment, community and how you constantly build you strength and knowledge with every single workout. I recently took my dad and he loved it. My brother will also join and I'm super excited to bring my family with me through this journey. I'm looking forward to share and create memories with my loved ones and I love WorX! Not only it's a safe environment where you feel included but you enjoy to work out with others that motivate and push you to keep going! I highly recommended ! Maia and Allison are stars as well as the rest of the instructors. read more

I can't say enough about The Worx by Maia. The community support you get is like no where else honestly. I've done the program called the Journey three times and it has changed my life. I look at food and working out completely different. It took me years to get to this point. I have lost over 30 lbs since working out with Maia and coaches. I can't express the gratitude I have for this team. All I can say is that I want to pay it forward. Before starting the Worx I couldn't run non-stop for even 5 mins, now I can run for over 50 mins without feeling like passing out. The workouts are hard work and not easy but you will feel so rewarded afterwards. I owe it all to The Worx by Maia, honestly! If you haven't tried it and looking for something different, challenging, or never worked out before it is the place because they accept any and all levels. Before coming I didn't even know what a burpee or mountain climbers were, now I do and have a love-hate relationship with them. Haha! If you need accountability you need to come. Also if it is your first time, you get a free week to try out all the different type of classes, that range from Tough Worx (variety of ropes, flipping tires, weight lifting, sprints, etc.), Pump, Insanity, Tone, P90x, etc), Bootcamp, etc. read more

It only took 3 classes for me to realize that coming to the Worx is the best move I've made to better myself in a very long time. When my friend asked me to check it out with her I immediately googled the place and felt like I would be too intimidated by the intense workouts. But I signed up and went anyways. I'm glad to say I was dead wrong. I have never worked out in such an intense yet supportive environment. After struggling for years to get the motivation to lose weight I walked out last night almost in tears because I was so proud of myself and because it felt so good to be in a room full of people high fiving me and helping me get through. After the first class the instructors and owner already remembered my name and it was pretty cool to hear them calling it out and supporting me when I was on the verge of giving up. Now don't get me wrong, the classes at this place are TOUGH! Its no sissy workout! But its hard in a great way. If you are a long time couch potato like myself you will sweat like never before and probably think you're about to die, but the feeling of pride you get the second it's over makes it all worth while. I highly recommend the Worx if you are serious about reclaiming your health and body. read more

If you're looking for a fitness home that is friendly and homey, yet challenging... the WorX is for you. Maia and all the coaches/instructors will push you to do your best. Classes are never boring because they always change it up - tabata, HIIT, TRX, ToughWorx, bootcamp, weight training--you name it, they got it. I love the WorX because it definitely tests my limits. I've tried home workout videos, and if a move looked too complicated or difficult, I just wouldn't do it. At the WorX, I am encouraged and motivated to try new things without being intimidated or judged. Honestly, the coaches/instructors believed in me even before I believed in myself! Joining the WorX was the best thing I've ever done for ME. I consider it a priceless investment for my health and future. Maia offers a free week of fitness to newcomers! I suggest you come try it for yourself. After each workout you'll leave feeling like a million bucks! read more

If you want results then this place is for you. From TRX to Tough WorX there is a program for you. Built off a HIIT base The Worx gives you the toughest workout with the greatest results while changing up from day to day to keep the work out fresh. This place is based on the principal of "doing you". Meaning you get in there and go as hard as you can but rest when you need to. This way your ALWAYS giving 100%. Also, if you're looking for a dose of motivation just drop in and you'll be sure to get what you need from any one of the coaches teaching. I always manage to leave feeling way more motivated then when I came in. To sum it up, go to a class. Sweat out the evil of the day. You'll see what I'm talking about. AROOOO!!!! read more

I attended my first class here last Saturday (9/26/2015) as the start of a 21 day trial for $21 bucks. I didn't exactly know what it would entail and lo and behold, I was attending an hour long Insanity class. While completely freaking out on the inside, I am sure I kept a cool exterior. I shrugged, thought, "Let's Do This," and gave it all I had. I'm still sore today, 3 days later. It's not the "Crossfit can't walk right for days" kind of sore though, it's the type of sore that let's you know you did what your body was meant to do. The class was highly engaging, you were free to modify the moves as needed, and each move was demonstrated thoroughly. I'm going back today for bootcamp! Relli was an outstanding instructor. I highly recommend this gym. I think I have found my home for the next 6 months!!! read more

I love, love, love this place! It is not just a gym, it is a family. When I walk in I always receive a warm welcome. I have joined other gyms/ workout centers and I never achieved results. That's because I did not have the support and motivation. Since joining The Worx, I have lost almost 10 lbs and I am in my best shape. I would highly recommend this place to all fitness levels! read more

The Worx by Maia is one of the best Fitness centers/gyms I've ever been to. Maia,the owner,is an inspiration and the motivator. she started the gym after her successful fitness journey and she is such a positive and enlightening spirit. she's an expert in nutrition, motivation, and exercise and she really wants to teach the staff and the members about how to be their best. When she and her instructors teach the classes they are full of energy and push you to work hard. she has challenging classes that motivate you to get better.I love the Boot Camp classes and the toughworx classes. She also has classes that fall in the style of Insanity and P90X, if you follow the beach body programs. I have been a member there for almost 2 years and I have seen changes in my fitness level, endurance , body shape and nutrition. I truly get gratitude out of supporting a small business with such a positive message.you can't compare this gym to many of the gyms in the area including those cheap $10 a month membership Gyms. The Worx keeps you accountable, they are personable, they get to know your name, and they truly want to help you succeed. The business runs more like a family and the only downside to this being a small business is that some of the hours and classes are limited but I found that it works really well with my schedule. they will also give you the options to do workouts at home and online through their interactive website. what gym do you know where you take a picture at the end of class to celebrate your progress and to keep you accountable. as long as I live in this area I plan to stay a member and I will continue to push myself and see my growth with the help of the WorX by Maia Family. read more

I've been with The Worx since June 2011 and you couldn't pay me to leave. Before The Worx, I had no accountability to do at home workouts or go to a gym.The Worx taught me about accountability when it came to working out. Now, its always penciled into my schedule. I plan my schedule around The Worx! I came a long way from when I started. If I could do it, anyone can! I stayed accountable with a program The Worx's offers called, "The Journey." I recommend it for anyone who needs accountability and motivation to work out at least x4/week! It's all about consistency! Since June 2011, I lost the weight I wanted to lose, but after I did..I stayed, because it's my "happy place." After a long day, I come to The Worx to unwind... get an awesome workout in, and get my mind right for the next day! All the classes they offer are awesome, but my favorites are Bootcamp, TRX, and ToughWorx. The Worx is a wonderful community where they all motivate and inspire you. Each member and instructor has something special about them that adds to the Worx community. I've been with them for a number years for just that. The Worx motivates you to get out of your comfort zone. It's not about anyone else, but you! That's what they strive for---they motivate you to be the best version of you. YOU deserve it, so "you do you!" read more

I've been attending The Worx for 3 days in a row and I've completed about 5 classes. I love how the people in class and trainers set an amazing atmosphere. It's encouraging and positive so it keeps you motivated to challenge yourself and keep on pushing to reach your goal(s). It's guaranteed that you can get the results you need as long as you put in the work. I also love the schedule, it's very fitting if you work, there are early classes and evening classes. Everyone is also very friendly, the trainers/coaches manage to know you personally-- which i truly appreciate. You won't regret coming here :) read more

Maia is such an awesome coach. She's built a team of likeminded, true hearted, caring people willing not only to work out beside you, but keep you on track and stay motivated. I feel like I'm hanging out with friends at the Worx. Thank you Maia, and thank you team! read more

The Worx by Maia - Gyms Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

This is a fantastic gym!! All the trainers are super nice and take an interest in you no matter what fitness level you're at. I had been going for about two years but the pandemic and pregnancy made me stop. If you are looking for a HIIT training gym and skeptical about COVID precautions this is the place to go. All the equipment is wiped down after every use. Its one big family and everyone pitches in to keep it safe and clean. Once you join you see a big change in your energy levels and body. It's great! read more
