“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!”

“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.”

“This review pertains to Elise. Elise was my personal trainer for almost a year at Brazen Fitness. I had a fantastic experience. I achieved all the objectives that we had set at the beginning, from reduction in body fat to muscle growth to increased stamina. Elize is very knowledgeable, effective, professional and holds you accountable. What I appreciated in particular was the design of the workouts in a way that allowed to hit all the different targets. I strongly recommend Elise, no matter what your fitness goals are.”

“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!”

“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.”

“I've been a dedicated member of F45 Training Pentagon Row for years, and it's been an absolute game-changer for me! The focus on functional fitness has really helped me level up in my fitness journey. What I love most about this studio is the attention to detail and the friendly atmosphere. Having visited several F45 studios nationwide, I can confidently say that Pentagon Row stands out from the rest. It's those little touches, like personalized motivation and a tight-knit community, that make every workout here feel like a win. If you're looking for a welcoming place to crush your fitness goals, F45 Pentagon Row is the spot to be!”

“Evelyn was such a fun instructor to take class with. Her playlist was high energy and she had a great flow for seasoned and non-seasoned runners. I also loved her streching/yoga incorporation at the end of class. Will be booking class with her again!”

“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.”

“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 am workout junkie! I’ve done all kinds of fitness from lifting, to dance fitness, Zumba, spinning, HITT etc. F45 is by far my most favorite studio/gym. The workouts are intense but you can go at your own pace and the coaches engage a lot to help you with form. Great environment and if you put in the work you will def see results!”

“Who knew boxing could be so much fun! I've been going for a little over a month (10 sessions or so). Haven't had a single bad workout yet!The coaches are knowledgeable and more importantly, energetic (shout out to coach Amanda for consistently great sessions)! Most if not all of them take time to ensure newcomers are getting the movements right - stance, position, balance - and you can workout at your own pace until you find the right rhythm. Most of the floor exercises are presented with alternate simpler movements which is again great for first timers but also if you are low on energy on that day.It can be tricky to pick-up the right boxing moves in the first 3-4 sessions but it is surprisingly not too difficult after that. I also recommend doing the Bash 101 session where each boxing movement is discussed and taught in detail, and really helps when you are just getting started.I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a good workout regimen!”

“If you are new to CrossFit or already have experience, this is a great gym to join or visit. I joined as a newbie and really enjoyed the foundations course. The classes are fun and challenging, and the instructors are top notch.”

“BASH boxing is unlike any other group fitness experience. I started going there in early 2022. They are community focused and you’ll feel it in every single class. They have different workouts, formats every single day so you’re always in for something new and always challenged to grow. The studios are always clean and staff is always welcoming. I highly recommend going.”

“We joined in January 2024 and absolutely love this gym and the community. It's a large space with great coaches and friendly people. While we sadly had to leave this gym due to moving, we still love to come back every now and again to work out. Under new ownership, there have only been improvements to the programming and the gym as a whole.

The community here is unparallel to anywhere I have been before and I would highly recommend joining or dropping in here.”

“Professional and complete. In my travels I use both the Bodymass Composition facilities in the Arlington, VA and Chapel Hill, NC areas. They are very professional and extremely helpful for me with muscle mass, and bone density. Very Professional staff. Thanks for the data and analysis!! Terrific.”

“Nice gym. As for those stating that "benefit slobs" need to go elsewhere and we don't rate... Well, got news for you. We do rate. And guess what hot rod??? You'll be one of us at some point. Or maybe not. You'll probably be kicked out anyway. Respect your elders and the vets that came before you. Think about that.”

“A phenomenal gym with the best trainers we've ever had. My husband and I are stronger and more flexible than we've ever been thanks to Michael Johnston, Michael Lin and yoga instructor James. Michael Johnston takes a great long-term approach to fitness and is extremely knowledgeable about form and muscle groups. Plus, sessions are really fun! They're like our shot of caffeine in the morning!”

“Great clean gym. In the winter (even the summer) the cardio room is mad cold for whatever reason. The equipment selection is great with a true CrossFit room and tons of equipment. Though you won't find a conventional pulldown/row cable machine”

“Without a doubt, OrangeTheory Pentagon City has changed my life. Head Coach Natalie makes fitness fun every single day - she knows exactly how to help each person depending on their goals and needs. The front desk staff is sensational and always treating everyone with such care and kindness. This place feels like a family - and I’ve managed to convince three other friends to join OTF because of how great the workouts are. I’m stronger, faster, and healthier thanks to this location. I love it!”

“We had an amazing time at the Arlington Country Fair at the Thomas Jefferson Community Centre! The event was a perfect blend of local vendors, tasty food, and entertaining activities for all ages. The community atmosphere was wonderful, and we loved supporting local artisans and businesses”

“As someone who was terrified of working out, and workout classes more-so, I cannot say enough good things about this studio. Tried this on a desperate whim ~3 years ago and today cannot imagine not having it in my life!

The coaches are helpful and encouraging, but still let you go at your own pace/comfort level. Shoutout especially to Tony who is always a ray of sunshine, especially after a tough day at work (or a hangover).

If you’re intimidated of trying this place, don’t be! You rarely have to talk or interact with anyone if you don’t want to. Everyone’s there just putting the work in.

Thanks OT Ballston!”

“5-Star Review for Coach Aric

I reached out to Aric for help with a nagging issue—a winged right scapula that had been bothering me for a while. We live far apart, otherwise I'd be at his gym every day, no question. Despite the distance and not even seeing my shoulder in person, Aric listened carefully to my description and immediately knew what to do.

He sent me three exercises tailored to my issue, and on the very first day of doing them, I already felt a noticeable difference. No guesswork, no fluff—just precise, practical guidance from someone who clearly knows what they're doing.

Sometimes, the insight you need doesn’t come from a doctor—it comes from a wise coach who genuinely understands the body. Aric is that guy. Can’t recommend him enough.”

“I've been a member at VIDA Fitness - Ballston for about a month... and I've been impressed in several ways.I want to give a shout out to my incredible personal trainer, Brandon Doyle. With a blend of tailored workouts, empathetic support, and evident expertise, Brandon stands out as an exceptional trainer. I have a history of patellar tendinitis - and Brandon tailors my workouts to make sure the exercises remain in a safe range of motion.Brandon carefully pushes my boundaries and has introduced me to machines I never would've approached alone. Yes, I'm a cardio-nut, and would likely never creep over to the weight section without an outside force... treadmill, yay!I highly recommend Brandon! Be prepared for polite soreness... it hurts so good!”
