Fitness & Gyms in Alexandria, VA

“Jake is great ! I love his strength class.

Unreal! 7223meters in Brian’s full row today . I’ve never rowed 7000+meters. It’s Brian’s coaching . I keep improving.

Brian is a professional sharing his passion, expertise and coaching skills. As a result I perform my best in his classes and keep improving. So thankful for Brian at row house.

I love watching Sophia grow as an instructor. I watched her perfect rhythm and form grow while she sat in the front row next to coach Brian. Then I discovered she was studying to become a coach. Yay! We all need mentors!

I LOVE Brian’s coaching!! I do love all the coaches but somehow I do my best with Brian.

Brian is the best! His cues, music, coaching, and love of rowing is inspiring.
I always excel in his classes.

Jake is fantastic! I love his strength class.

Brian is GREAT!! Love his coaching.

Brian is the greatest coach

He’s great

Peter is great! I’m glad I had an opportunity to take his classes. I will certainly take more.”

“I rarely post reviews but I felt compelled to shout out the team publicly. Went to my first class today via the Classpass App. Coach Adam (who is also the GM) and Herman at the front desk couldn’t have been more friendlier. It was such a warm, welcoming environment from the moment I stepped in. I’ve gone to many different gyms and had the best first time experience here.

I’m a big believer in correct form. Coach Adam encouraged and corrected me throughout the entire class and he was doing that to everyone. I love that type of coaching and genuinely enjoyed every bit of my experience.

Lots of compound movements. The jump rope for warm up for super fun. Plenty of free street parking (I went on a Tues at 630pm). Definitely going back.10/10, highly recommend”

“I just loved how cool stepping into the F45 gym felt. When you walk in your right inside the gym. Everything is well organized and the lighting and colors are on point. There are towels available for your workout. The instructor early Thursday morning 4/18 was so nice and welcoming. She did a great job demonstrating each move and checking on everyone’s form consistently. I was able to get my 45 minutes in, take a shower (with tons of supplies) and walk out ready to start my shift at work.”

“When I came to Foundation Fitness it was the first time I had ever walked into a gym. The twice weekly sessions have been terrific. Ester is so very good at what she does. She is very focused on form and provides excellent feedback to be sure I am doing the exercises correctly and getting the most out of them. Ester is encouraging and positive and just a pleasant person to be around. There are never more than a few people training at any given time and everyone is very friendly. CJ (owner) is very responsive if you ever need anything. I am so grateful to have found this gym and to have been connected with Ester.”

“I was hesitant to try out a workout class but decided to take advantage of the free week trial. With just 2 classes I was hooked! I started at E60 after having a baby and wanted to rebuild strength. I have been taking classes 2-3x/week for 4 months and feel stronger than I've ever been! I love the class structure - it's great to go to a workout where I don't have to think or plan because it's all done for me. It feels like a fun group setting where you have your own personal trainer and can go at your own pace and weight. These classes are the fastest hour of my day!”

“While traveling, I had the pleasure of dropping into this OrangeTheory location for the 7:00 AM Saturday session—and it was nothing short of fantastic. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with kindness and professionalism, setting the tone for a great experience.

Coach John led the class with energy and precision. His motivation was contagious, and I especially appreciated his attentiveness on the weight floor—he made sure my form was solid, which elevated the entire workout.

I will definitely be returning whenever I am in town.

One friendly heads-up: the bakery next door is dangerously tempting. If you grew up in Europe or simply have a deep love for fresh bread, consider yourself warned—it is hard to walk past without indulging.”

“We have been having outstanding experience at My Gym! From the moment we walked in, the welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff set a positive tone. The facility is clean, spacious, and well-equipped, with ample mats and equipment suitable for all skill levels.

The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about gymnastics. They provide personalized attention to each student, ensuring everyone feels supported and encouraged. I was especially impressed with how they foster a safe learning environment while maintaining enthusiasm and fun.

The class schedule is convenient, offering flexible options for various age groups and skill levels. My child has made significant progress in their skills since joining, and they look forward to every practice!

Additionally, the community at My Gym is fantastic. Parents are involved, and it's easy to connect with other families during events and competitions.

Overall, I highly recommend My Gym for anyone interested in gymnastics, whether you're a beginner or more advanced. It's a great place to learn, grow, and make lasting friendships. Thank you, Ms. Katie, Ms. Jasmine, Ms Daniele, Ms Sofia and Ms. Radhel, for providing such a wonderful experience!”

“Was recommended this studio by a friend who lives locally and dropped into MVMNT for a quick early morning class while in town. We stayed in Downtown Alexandria and the gym was around 15 mins away (walking). Such a great cute little women's studio. We did the Bosu class and it kicked our butts. The instructor made sure we had the right form and led a fast paced high intensity class. Would definitely recommend! Please note - there's only one bathroom for the studio which includes a shower.”

“Best way to describe it is a modern day Golds Gym. Weight lifters dream. Would be nice to see some other amenities for the price but otherwise clean and a good place to realize your goals. 24/7 is amazing.”

“There are lots of CrossFit Gyms in the Northern Virginia area. What makes Sand and Steel stand out above others is the coaching and care they provide to the members. They just don't throw you in to workouts and expect you to figure things out.Instead, Paul, Dawn, and the rest of the coaching staff take their time to make sure you scale appropriately. The coaches make sure you work on mobility and nutrition, along with your workout. In my case, I have had a series of prior injuries, and moreover, I had consistent cramping and dehydration problems during workouts. No matter what supplements I took or how much water I drank, I would get light-headed, and my muscles would cramp. In short, my body simply refused to hold water. For years, I thought there was something medically wrong with me.Paul recommended a great supplement as a pre-workout, and then the cramping was gone. Like Magic. Now, my conditioning, strength, and overall performance greatly improved.So, like I said before... coaching makes a huge difference. This gym comes highly recommended.”

“D1 has been a perfect gym for me! Its small size and small class size makes everyone feel welcome. The class schedule is convenient to be able to fit in a workout around work/life demands. Starting as a beginner, the coaches were great at working with me on form and modifications. The workout programming keeps the classes interesting and you are able to build skills and your strength. I’ve never been stronger! The best part of D1 is the community. Everyone is so friendly and encouraging. If you want the feel of personal training in a small group environment, this gym is a great fit for you.”

“I've gone 3 or 4 times now and have enjoyed each class. I love how there's different instructors, different workouts, and always a different playlist. You're doing everything at your own pace, but I never fill out if place. If there's an exercise you don't understand, they come and explain it without hesitation. So far it's been a great experience. I'd like to try other locations but mine isn't far from home.”

“I started going to F45 Old Town through ClassPass. I loved it so much, I became a member! This place is great for anyone new to fitness and fitness enthusiasts. The workouts are challenging and the coaches are really friendly. It's nice to go to a gym where the coaches are attentive and pushes you to be a better you. Can't wait to see how my body transforms with F45.”

“The Worx it’s not just a gym for me… it’s my happy place! I’ve always been so intimidated by lifting weights and now I love it! I am taking the semi-private sessions and I am stronger than ever! I am a mom of 2 kids under 4yo and the 11am class fits perfect with my schedule and our group is THE BEST! Every single class is different, more a more challenging and fun! I am really happy I found you all!”

“Trident coaching is always excellent. As no longer a spring chicken, I appreciate all the coaches at trident attention to proper form, safety and scaling to avoid any injuries. They know my body’s limitations yet they push me enough to get stronger each day. Thank you to all the awesome coaches at trident.”

““I’ve been to several OTF studios, but OTF Bradlee stands out as the most fun by far. The staff is incredibly friendly and organized, and they go above and beyond to make the experience memorable. Hell Week has been a blast, filled with raffles, dress-up days, and tons of creative ways to keep us laughing—even while we’re being pushed to our limits. Highly recommend!””

“Great place to guarantee a full blown workout. I walk out dripping in sweat Everytime. The coaches are fantastic and can each offer something different. Your first class is free with everything prepared for you such as gloves and welcome signs. They have different classes through out the day, the last being 645 which comes in handy if you work late like I do! The best thing I’ve gotten out of Mayweather boxing and fitness is confidence I can’t get in the gym by myself. I have trouble pushing myself when I go to a big gym, here it’s a smaller group of non stop motivation. It is a little pricey but they have different kinds of memberships and it is a private boxing gym!”

“Cara, thank you thank you!! What a great experience. Very friendly and inviting environment and great for beginners and advanced lifters. Something for everyone, plenty of space and great coaching with immediate results! Very clean and neat layout, can’t wait to go back!”

“We met Lans Fofana almost six years ago when he was working with individuals at a day program for adults with severe disabilities. We quickly noticed the rapid improvement in his clients’ physical and mental states and soon hired him to train our 30 year-old daughter.Lans has worked five days a week with our daughter in one-on-one sessions for over five years. When the day program closed due to covid, he transitioned, with precautions, to our home. During that time of otherwise isolation, she consistently gained physical strength, improved balance, and enjoyed a healthy mental attitude.Lans’s extensive knowledge of anatomy and physiology coupled with his motivational skills is what distinguishes him from an ordinary trainer. He takes a wholistic approach directed to the individual’s needs. His work ethic and can-do attitude inspires clients regardless of their age, malady, or physical/mental state.Better health is a commitment. Training can feel overwhelming without the right person by your side. The words “personal” and “trainer” are of equal importance with Lans. Individuals draw from Lans’s positive attitude, expertise, and personal drive. Our daughter looks forward to her workout and literally pats herself on the back at the end of the session. Lans has made a big difference in her life.”

“Nikki is an absolutely amazing instructor!! I strongly recommend taking her VXN class. I'd be taking it every day if I could. She is so much fun to dance and hang out with. Not only is it the best workout, but Nikki has also built an incredible, welcoming community. Fire playlists and choreo, friends, and fun! There's just something so unique and special about it. You won't regret it!”

“In a short time, Coach Brenda has guided my 7 year old to GROWTH by lovingly encouraging her to step outside of her fears and comfort zone. I'm so excited to see where this new adventure takes her!!!”

“I was having a lot of issues with my back, I had them help me moving easier with less pain in my lower back, they worked with me, helping in my movements, and teaching me things that have helped immensely,, lowering my pain level. If your having back issues and have had physical therapy, and still having problems, come knock on there door, They are awesome!”

“The gym beat out all my expectations. Usually community gyms it’s a couple treadmills, worn out benches and some free weight. Yet, Kingstowne continues to be above and beyond all my expectations. The gym facilities is honestly all you need. If you are an Olympic style lifter I will say it does not meet your needs that and CrossFit.”

“I had a great review of the AnyTime Fitness facility today. Johnathan did a wonderful job walking me through all of the equipment within the facility and explaining options to join. I was extremely pleased with the presentation and signed up on the spot. Johnathan also explain how I will have access to 5,000 other worldwide locations which was another plus. I am really looking forward to getting on a better exercise routine and happy to have the opportunity to do it at AnyTime Fitness. Thank you.”

“Great fitness center they are open 24hours a day 7 days week great lochion very easy to get to.very clean very helpful staff and trainer's very convenient to get in after you join resonbull cost to join with over 2000 lochions throw out the USA your membership can get you into any of them. I highly recommend you give Snap fitness a try they have no contract to lock you in with like outher fitness centers so that gives them an adge up on the others as well.try them you will like them.”

“I'm a proud member of Planet fitness. I enjoy the equipment that is provided by the Gym and I enjoy everything that this place has to offer. I enjoy the discounts drinks and discounts for clothing brands and Electronics good. When it comes to Cleanness, I'm glad that this is there top priority. I'm happy to see how well educated employees they have at Planet fitness and how they go out thier way in showing other members how to use equipment properly. If there's any questions and concern and you need information on where to start, their team are ready to help you reach your goal. Thank you for allowing me to be part of this awesome team and allowing me to achieve my goals. Thank you for making the Impossible, possible!”

“This is a very fine and well operated gym. The equipment works optimally and is maintained daily and the facility is very clean. Planet Fitness supplies paper towels and disinfectant and I see all gym participants use these products. The staff is attentive and pleasant.

The only problem is the gym closes way too early on Friday and Saturday nights. Friday nights the gym closes at 9 PM - the time I have to begin exercise. Saturday and Sunday closing is even worse; the gym closes at 7 PM. These truncated hours are a real slap in the face 3 out of 7 days during the week.”

“I absolutely love this place!! Lele and Phil are great they are very personable and make you feel at home and comfortable. No matter your fitness level. The Trainers (Josh,Krista,Kamau and Nate) are all great and have different styles that all can enjoy! Its the best gym(I’ve gone to many) in the area affordable, great schedule, staff (Maria at the front desk always makes sure the place is decorated for all occasions ) and all members are all kind and fun to be around. I Love The Camp Alexandria !!!”

“It's not bad for being part of the HOA. I think they should replace that weird angular sit-up thing with a hamstring glute developer. If they did that I would give it five stars. When a fitness center is that small they need to be more deliberate with what they offer that angular thing is supposed to do the same thing but just doesn't.”
