Fitness & Gyms near Annandale, VA

“I've been a gold class member here for about two months, and thankfully I have been more motivated than in the past. It works for me because they are located on my route to work, so I'm able to hop over here before work. They open at 5am which is very convenient in that regard. I rolled in this morning on this extended holiday weekend, and there was barely a soul in the gym. This isn't usually the case, but I didn't mind. I typically stick with the stair master machine and several of the chest and abdominal workout machines. My body appreciates it! Also, I've never had a wait issue, and 9 times out of 10 I'm able to hop right onto the machine that I need”

“Here's a quick reason to join: Is your life busy? Are you short on time? Not enough mental energy to figure out workouts or wait for hours at the gym? CrossFit has got you covered. Classes are quick and efficient. You have your own station, and the workout is ready for you.

And what about the staff? They're fantastic. So, come join us! I look forward to seeing you for a quick workout soon!”

“The gyms great. Friendly staff and all good people in there. I’ve found the environment motivating and am looking great due to it! My only wish would be a renovation of the locker rooms and saunas :)”

“Great CF gym in the Fairfax area! There’re many sessions during the day so it gives perfect flexibility for me under different schedules. Every coach was very supportive and helpful and every CFer is also friendly and helpful to others. Even if I don’t have a long history of CrossFit training, I think this is a great place to stay and build up my skills and get stronger.”

“I love Orangetheory Fairfax Station! The coaches are super motivating, the workouts are always challenging and fun, and the energy in the studio is amazing. I’ve seen real progress and always leave feeling stronger. Highly recommend!”

“Starfit has helped me get on track with strength training in a welcoming, supportive environment just for women. While I run, swim, cycle, I have not been able to stick to at-home weight training. This studio is a great fit!”

“I've been going to CrossFit for over 6 years so when I moved from Tennessee to Virginia I did my research on local gyms. When I joined CrossFit Route 7 I was immediately impressed with how friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive the coaches are. The CrossFitters there are passionate and kind, and they always make you feel welcome. Unfortunately I had to leave the gym do to life circumstances, but the owners were extremely generous and gracious about my situation. We need more CrossFit gyms like this one.”

“Hands down the best CrossFit gym I've ever experienced! The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, guiding every member to reach their full potential. The community is unbeatable, fostering a welcoming atmosphere that motivates you to push beyond your limits. From challenging workouts to top-notch facilities, this gym truly sets the standard for CrossFit excellence.”

“Excellent gym supported by motivating and engaging coaches. Great variety of class times and class focused (weight focused, cardio focused, hybrid). Highly recommend!”

“A great neighborhood gym! The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. I had a free fitness consultation with Coach Tony, where he recommended some exercises for me. Although the gym’s footprint is small, it has all the necessary equipment to get a good workout.”

“Gold’s Gym Lorton is always clean and spacious with plenty of equipment. The classes are great, and the instructors make them enjoyable. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is relaxed but motivating — exactly what you want in a gym.”

“Joining Halo has been transformative. Honestly, I have felt rather stagnant and a bit bored at the gym over the past few years. I have over 20 years of fitness experience, but for the first time in 2 years, I feel like my workouts are actually helping me meet accelerate my fitness and health goals. My Wife and I love the Peak program, and we love that you just show up and knock it out. We are so glad we are supporting this small business, and will Continue to recommend it to our friends and neighbors.”

“I had an amazing experience at Orange Theory thanks to LaNita LaDais! Her exceptional customer service made my visit enjoyable and stress-free. She was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed. Highly recommend her for a fantastic experience!”

“I joined Hodges Fitness back in August of 2022. It’s an honor to continue to be a member of this amazing community. I have so much love for all my Hodges Fitness coaches. If it wasn’t for them, I would not be in the amazing headspace that I am right now. I’ve learned how to stay consistent with an active lifestyle and have gained strength and confidence while still on my journey to become a healthier and happier human being. Their workouts change every month which I appreciate so much because the hard work all the coaches put into play while creating these one-of-a-kind workouts shows the dedication and love they have for all the members. Not to mention the Affirmations they have at the end of each class is the best way to start or end your day. I will always highly recommend for anyone to show up for their self and give it a try.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Done a few classes with Valentina and I have yet to be disappointed!!
Amazing workout!
Amazing music!
Amazing atmosphere!
Guides you through every step of every workout so everyone's always on the same page! I Always feel better and stronger after every workout with her!
10/10 Highly recommend all her classes!”

“I have been a member at this studio for over 3 years. No two workouts are the same, so there’s no room for boredom and your body is always challenged in new ways! The coaches are engaging, supportive, and knowledgeable — the tweaks that they have made to my form have been so helpful to maximize muscle growth and prevent injury. All of the members are so friendly and the overall energy of this studio is great. I’m sticking around for the long haul with F45 Vienna!”

“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!”

“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!”

“Joined a few months ago and I actually look forward to going to the gym?? What?? The music is fun, and it doesn’t even feel like a group class most of the time (in a good way - I’m competing against myself and not self conscious). A lot of people think OTF is intimidating but I would recommend trying it to see if it works for you.”

“My husband and I joined this gym in December and have been very impressed. I’m completely new to group classes and the staff make it so approachable and give me modifications for the exercises as I build endurance. Highly recommend.

Special shout out to Victoria, her classes are excellent.”

“I travel cross country for work so I frequently and most often use my membership for showering. This is a really nice gym and it was super clean! I could not find the parking garage people speak of but I was able to find a pay parking spot which I was lucky was free cause it was night time. One of the best showers I've ever had! Clean, hot water! I will definitely be stopping here again when I'm in town.”

“I’ve been an Orangetheory member since 2018 and have tried several home studios over the years—but Dunn Loring is hands-down my favorite! The coaches are all incredible in their own unique way: some check in with you after class even if you're not new, others sprint up and down the gym to cheer you on during your treadmill block, some could easily be motivational speakers, and a few will have you laughing your way through the workout. No matter who’s coaching, you always feel encouraged and challenged.

The front desk staff is just as amazing—friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything you need. The whole team creates a great community. I highly recommend giving OTF Dunn Loring a try!”

“The staff at F45 Shirlington is great! Very friendly and informative. They always greet you by name with a smile on their face (even at 5:30 in the morning). Love the intensity and variations of the workouts, and the ease of scheduling sessions online.”

“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.”

“We had an amazing experience at our team workout class at SPENGA! The instructors are energetic and motivating, and the facility is top-notch. It is also right next to our office which we LOVE! We loved the combination of spin, strength training, and yoga, making for a well-rounded workout that left us feeling energized. Highly recommend SPENGA for anyone looking for a unique and challenging fitness experience! We’ll definitely be back!”

“I have been a client at XBA since 2021 and have taken about 4 classes a week every week since then. It is a kind, positive, and friendly place for everyone, where you will feel supported on your fitness journey no matter what you look like or what your goals are. XBA clients are a diverse group of mostly women (and some men) ranging from 20ish to 70+. XBA really has something for everyone.

First - the workouts. From classic barre classes (which include strengthening/toning, flexibility, and cardio elements), to trampoline fitness classes (which include low-impact but intense cardio with weights and toning mixed in), to bootcamp-style HIIT, pilates-inspired toning, and TRX, there's a class for everyone. The classes are challenging no matter how fit you are, but can be adapted for any fitness level. I was totally out of shape, could barely walk for ten minutes recovering from surgery when I started at XBA. I think I've been so consistent because I am never bored; there's a huge variety of classes, and the classes themselves move fast, change up the movements, and keep me entertained. It's amazing how far I've come and now in my 40s I'm the fittest I've ever been.

I also want to mention that I am disabled and have had nothing but good experiences at XBA, and I have taken classes with all the instructors. Not all of these instructors are specially trained in adapting exercises, but they are all accommodating and welcoming. It can be scary as a disabled person to try new gyms and studios, and while XBA doesn't directly market itself this way, I find it to be very disability friendly and would recommend it. No one at XBA has ever made me feel like a burden or an annoyance, which is unfortunately a very common experience for disabled people in the fitness world.

You can definitely come just to work out - you'll be warmly welcomed, sweat your booty off, and you can head right out and forget about XBA until your next workout. But XBA is also a community where you can make close friends who live in the neighborhood and share interests beyond fitness. XBA regulars see each other nearly every day and form strong friendships that extend beyond the studio. It's hard to make friends as an adult and I met most of my closest friends in the area at XBA. If you like working out and you're looking to make new friends, XBA is a great place for you.”

“Really great gym! I did the free 1 week trial and I enjoyed it so much I bought a membership. All the workouts have some sort of strength training which is what I was looking for and each workout is different. Could not recommend enough!”
