Fitness & Gyms near Poolesville, MD

“I love working out at Anytime Fitness! Their equipment and facilities are pristine and their trainers are the best. I train regularly with Ashley and have had great results. I also attend small groups with Brooke and Bryce and love them both. My teenage son has attended the SPARQS program with Maddie and has done personal training with Ashley and Rachel. They treat him so well. I recommend all of their trainers whole-heartedly! If you have extra time, the sauna is a great treat!”

“I recently joined Fit Body Boot Camp in Broadlands, VA. I am enjoying the 30min interval cardio/strength workouts. The duration is perfect to fit in my busy day. The class has been well designed and the instructors are very good. Despite a fairly large class size and a short class duration, the instructor walks around throughout the class to give form corrections. I probably will not push myself to go through the rigor of this workout without this class. I highly recommend this fitness studio.”

“I’m new to rowing, and I absolutely loved this class. The instructors and staff are incredibly friendly, always smiling and happy to help. During my first class, the coach took the time to show me how to use the machine, explained everything clearly, and supported me throughout the session. I highly recommend Row House to anyone looking to get started in the world of rowing.”

“I love OTF Sterling. Such a relief being at a gym that truly wants the best version of you without pressure to do anything you aren't comfortable with. Its a workout that anyone can do! -- Coach Lindsay and Coach Ellie are my favorites and I highly recommend trying out a free class with them!”

“From day one, Orangetheory Leesburg made me feel like family. The welcome was genuine, and this studio has built something special.

Staci, Jheanelle, and the 5 AM crew bring enough grinning energy to power all of Leesburg. The coaches are motivating, and the members are inspiring, supportive, and friendly. If you want a workout, this is the place.

Public advisory: the 5 AM crew has completed a full workout before most people have emotionally accepted being awake.”

“I’ve been working out at Burn Boot Camp and I absolutely love it! The group workouts are amazing you get to exercise with people of all ages, which makes it really motivating and fun. The trainers truly push you to do your best while still being supportive and encouraging.

The trainers are very knowledgeable and always ready to help if you have questions or need modifications. The staff is also super friendly and responsive, which makes the whole experience even better.

One of my favorite things is the childwatch,it’s such a huge help for moms and makes it so much easier to stay consistent with workouts.
Highly recommend Burn Boot Camp to anyone looking for a supportive and motivating fitness community!”

“I'm on week 3 at Burn, and I love it! The environment is completely judgment-free, and everyone is incredibly supportive. The constant high-fives throughout the workouts felt a little unusual at first, but now I find them motivating and encouraging. There's a real sense of camaraderie, and having others cheer you on makes a big difference. It's a welcoming community that helps keep you motivated and coming back.”

“I’ve never paid to attend a gym, but due to struggles with my weight, I knew I needed extra help even though I have a free gym at work. The first week of doing this program, I felt it instantly. I had never been so sore in my life but it was worth it. I felt like I was getting some energy back and I had a new routine that helped break up my day to day. The pro couches are amazing and will step in to correct your form and make sure you are doing everything correctly because if you aren’t , you won’t see progress. They are very friendly, down to earth people. They check on you when you don’t show up showing a level of care but also adds a layer of motivation if you fall off the horse. People who attend classes are friendly and welcoming as well. I never felt embarrassed or ashamed if I couldn’t preform to the level of the others. And while the couches push you, they don’t over extend you. It’s hard to picture going back to working out a lone again.”

“I cannot recommend Marena and her women’s group strength training enough. The gym itself is beautiful and well maintained but the real value is in the programming. Marena is incredibly knowledgeable and brings a high level of thoughtfulness to every session. She focuses on functional strength and proper form, making sure everyone feels challenged but supported. Beyond the workout, the community of women that has developed is amazing. As we focus on getting stronger together, there is a camaraderie that is very special. This gym, Marena and the women I get to share this experience with has changed my health and my life for the better. If you’re looking for expert coaching in a top notch facility, this is it.”

“The halfrox was perfect in preparation for the real thing and it was really organized. I don't regret it and plan on signing up for the next one. Everyone was super supportive and we also got a sweat towel, finisher patch, and redbulls!”

“I love this place. Coach Seth is great.
Tru=Strength is well-maintained, and equipped with high-quality equipment for everything from strength training to functional fitness. The atmosphere is welcoming, motivating, and free of the typical gym ego. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about helping members succeed. Whether you're just starting your fitness journey or you're an experienced athlete, this is a great place to train. Highly recommend Tru=Strength to anyone looking for a professional, supportive, and results-driven gym.”

“I have always loved F45. I have been to almost all of the gym training centers in the area but nothing feels home like F45 does. They are so patient and kind to me. They helped me after my postpartum so much that I love going to Gym every day.”

“I was skeptical at first—Body20 sounded too good to be true. But after giving it a shot, I’m so glad I did. Kevin, the owner, is fantastic to work with—professional, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what he does. The trainers are knowledgeable and supportive, always pushing you just the right amount.

The workouts are only 20 minutes, but don’t let that fool you. I feel like I’ve been at the gym for hours—and the next day, my body definitely agrees! It’s efficient, effective, and I’ve already noticed a real difference in how I look and feel. Highly recommend to anyone looking to maximize their time and results!”

“The gym is not overly crowded during peak hours of 5-6pm. Basketball courts are not crowded either , which is amazing. Feels awesome to have the option of getting cardio in after my workouts by playing ball instead of the treadmill. Mostly working professionals are here. Rarely are there kids or teens here. Best gym I’ve found in NOVA.”

“I've been training with Dave Mikel at Performance Edge for almost a year, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best fitness experiences I’ve ever had. What truly sets this gym apart is the personalized attention and genuine care you receive.
I deal with some old injuries, and Dave has been incredible at working around them without compromising the quality of my workouts. He tailors everything to fit my needs, always ensuring I’m challenged but never pushed past my limits. His knowledge, patience, and focus on long-term progress make a huge difference.
The atmosphere at Performance Edge is motivating, the equipment is top-notch, and the support from the staff makes it a place I actually look forward to going to.
If you're looking for a gym that prioritizes smart training and real results—especially if you're working with any physical limitations—Performance Edge in Lansdowne is the place to go.”

“The past three months at Noble Fitness have been incredibly rewarding and transformative. The community here is uplifting, and the trainers are not only attentive but genuinely invested in your progress. They’re awesome!!. This experience has completely shifted my mindset around fitness. I highly recommend Noble to anyone looking to get back into the gym. It was challenging at first, but it only took one class to reignite my consistency and dedication.”

“Everything at this gym just makes perfect sense, from the coaches to the admin. What a great experience! they take the time and walk you through everything from start to finish- you're never alone throughout the process! Highly recommend!”

“I’ve had a great experience going to this gym! The coaches have been very motivating, friendly, and knowledgeable. They make sure to pay attention to form so I don’t injure myself and encourage me to push myself harder. The other patrons that I’ve met at the gym have also been very friendly and respectful. Really happy to have found this place!”

“Life-changing! Can’t even express the gratitude and appreciation I have for this studio! The vibe and feeling of camaraderie is amazing. The workout is phenomenal. Your body, mind and soul will thank you! Don’t hesitate… Go!!! Kathy is the best!”

“I absolutely love my gym! Coach Cory goes out of his way to make sure every exercise is suitable for all age groups and fitness levels, and he always ensures everyone feels comfortable and supported.

All the coaches are superb...they are knowledgeable, encouraging, and make every workout enjoyable. The atmosphere is positive, motivating, and welcoming, which makes coming to the gym something I truly look forward to. It really feels like a community here. Highly recommend!”

“I’ve been working out with Ralph for nearly 8 years. When I came in I hadn’t worked out or lifted weights in 10 years. His reasonable approach makes the daunting task of getting into shape and sticking with a routine very attainable. Simply put, you won’t regret giving Ralph a call, it could change your life.”

“Still the best gym in Northern Virginia. Sure it could use a sauna, and the locker/storage situation isn't ideal, but it has enough machines and space that it's rare to have to wait.”

“So I've been coming to Oak for about 2 years now officially in May I believe. I don't know why it's taken me this long to write a review but here it is... This is not your typical gym. And I know that may be a cliche but it isn't. This is a community gym. The atmosphere is kind and supportive no matter who you are or your fitness level. For reference I am a 30 year old woman and have friends here that are twice my age. I've never felt pressured, bullied or creeped out once. Now let's talk about the staff... Brent. Brent, is the manager and has been since I joined. He has built a wonderful team and as far as I can tell a pretty positive work environment for everyone. He always remembers my name despite the fact that I've hardly ever worked with him directly. Wendy. Wendy is exceptional with members and our community. She always waves and stops to talk to me when she passes. And I'm pretty sure she knows everyone at this point :) I've made friends with many of the trainers here and so will you. Let's see who we've got... Zoe. Zoe is someone I've known for two years now and have actually become close friends with. She is without a doubt the nicest woman I've ever met. She knows a lot about running and cardio, so if you've got the thrill for a race she is your girl! Dan. Dan is a character and who many people turn to for advice about basic movement mechanics and health. Oh and he is pretty much athletic in everything. Just ask what he does in his free time. Haha Chris. Chris is a rockstar. He does classes in the early mornings along with a few other trainers and is consistently a happy guy. He will always try to make you laugh...don't tell Dan I said that. Stacy. I don't know Stacy very well but I know she works hard and is an early bird that loves to run. She has always been very sweet and kind towards everyone. I can't list all the people that make this place great but these are definitely the people that have influenced me the most. For the first year at Oak I worked out almost every day and every day I was greeted with the same kindness and support. Without that I'm not sure I would have stuck out with my journey. I can now do 5 pull ups in a row, deadlift over 220lbs and hip thrust over 300lbs. These are just a few of the goals I've set and reached for myself and I'm so glad I was able to accomplish them in such a place as Oak. If you have toured the place you already now how clean it is and that there are countless showers and lockers to choose from. Equipment is kept clean and ready to use. I hardly see a broken piece of equipment. And if I have it doesn't stay broken for long. Not all gyms are great so if you thought this place doesn't have enough to offer I think I can gladly state that it does. So if you are thinking about joining please don't hesitate. It's worth it. Courtney”

“Planet Fitness is the only place that makes waking up early feel worth it.

The morning staff deserves a standing ovation. They’re upbeat, welcoming, and somehow full of energy before the sun even clocks in. Walking in feels like you’re entering a vibe-filled morning show where everyone is rooting for you to have an amazing workout. They greet you, they help you, they actually see you — it’s the kind of positivity that makes you want to stick around longer than your workout requires.

The gym itself is stacked with plenty of weights and machines, so I never feel like I’m waiting around or improvising with equipment that isn’t there. Everything you need for a solid workout is ready to go.

And the cleanliness? Immaculate. This place is so spotless in the morning you’d think they reset the entire gym overnight — shiny machines, fresh floors, and everything in order.

If you want a gym that’s clean, well-equipped, and run by morning staff who are basically sunshine in human form, Planet Fitness is it. ??✨”

“My daughter has been coming here for about a year now, and overall she enjoys the gym environment, the space, and the friendships she’s made. However I feel like I’ve seen very little progress in her gymnastics skills despite how passionate she is about it.

It often feels like she rarely learns anything new from class to class, and lately I’ve noticed she’s stopped practicing at home. I worry she’s slowly losing interest because she isn’t being challenged enough or given opportunities to continue developing her skills.
I truly appreciate the positive environment and teachers are nice, but I hope there can be more focus on helping students progress and stay motivated as they grow.”

“Nice gym but they need to do a better job keeping it clean. The machines have dust and hair visible at the bottom. It seems to have accumulated over months without being cleaned.”
