Fitness & Gyms near Montclair, VA

“I stopped by on a whim today without an appointment, and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcome and taken care of. I expected a long wait, but they got me in surprisingly fast. Everything felt smooth and well-organized, which you don’t always find when walking in somewhere for the first time.

What really stood out was the level of professionalism and genuine friendliness. They didn’t make me feel like an inconvenience at all—in fact, it felt like they were happy to have me there. The space was clean, inviting, and had a calm, positive atmosphere.

I wasn’t sure what to expect as a walk-in, but the service exceeded my expectations in every way. I’ll definitely be coming back, and next time, I’ll probably book ahead—but it’s great to know that they treat spontaneous visitors with just as much care and attention.

Highly recommend!”

“It’s been an amazing experience! The gym has all the equipment you could need to get started, and the atmosphere is great. Our trainer Ryan is fantastic — super helpful and motivating. The owner, Joe, was awesome in getting us up to speed and even followed up before and after we joined to make sure everything was going well. Really glad my wife and I decided to join here!
I would highly recommend anyone looking to join a gym in the area to consider Unleash’d Strength!”

“I was visiting from California, and my friend who’s a member of Fit Body Manassas brought me along to meet her team. I’m so glad she did!

A big thank you to Coach Bryan for making me feel like part of the family. He welcomed me with open arms, and his great energy filled the entire class. I had a great time even though I miss my Alhambra Fit Body team back home, Coach Bryan made me feel right at home here in Virginia. He even took a group photo with the whole class, and of course, I had to get a picture with him too!

I also attended the Saturday class with Coach Heather. While I didn’t quite feel the same welcoming vibe, the workout was still solid and the people in the class were really friendly.

Thank you, Fit Body Manassas, for the warm experience during my visit!”

“Gold’s Gym in Lake Ridge has such a great environment! Induce joining last year, I have only encountered 1 unfriendly person and he was a rude customer whom the manager quickly corrected. The staff, the environment, the other customers are all great. It’s a very comfortable environment for all ages, sizes,m and shapes!!! I love-hate my coach, Mark, who has helped me see great results!”

“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.”

“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!”

“I’m approaching my first full year of at BBC Woodbridge and I have no regrets! Something that really impressed me about this location is how quickly they addressed my concerns. I felt that when I initially visited the gym, there was a sense of urgency from the staff to get me to join. So I had ample social media features, lots of attention from the trainers, and all the desk assistants did their due diligence to make me feel included. Once I committed all of this came to a sudden stop. The nail in the coffin for me was when I wasn’t given any accolades for hitting my 50th camp! (If you know you know).I reached out to the location’s help desk via email, expressed my concerns, and got a very remorseful response the next day. By the time I returned to camp the next week, it was a complete 180!! The trainers knew my name, I was having my form corrected during classes, and I’ve even seen an uptick in my social media features.

Pros:
1. Receptive to feedback
2. All fitness levels welcome
3. Great trainers that push and motivate you
4. Supportive atmosphere
5.Free Childcare Watch
6. Inclusive (have black history month gear/celebrations)
7. Active owners - I’ve seen them workout with us before! (Worth mentioning since I’ve heard nightmare stories about the owners of burn bootcamp Chantilly)

Cons:
1. Questionable hygiene of the floating floor which unfortunately can’t be helped at times
2. PRICEY!
3. Camps can get crowded especially on Saturday’s

In summary if you’re looking for a welcoming workout environment then this is the place for you. Jess, Ash, Jenn, and Abby are great! All the desk assistants are super friendly as well.”

“Anytime fitness in Woodbridge is a great, clean, and organized gym. I’ve been going there for about six months and really enjoy going. Jamal is my personal trainer and he’s been fantastic, I’m really seeing a big improvement with the workout plan he’s designed for me. I’m seeing fast results and plan on keeping it up!”

“Joining Orangetheory has been a game-changer for me. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was greeted by friendly, enthusiastic staff who made me feel like part of the community right away. The energy in the studio is contagious.

The coaches at Orangetheory are amazing. They’re not just knowledgeable about fitness and heart rate-based training—they’re also incredibly motivating and supportive. They explain everything clearly, help with form, and encourage you to challenge yourself without ever making you feel overwhelmed. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, they meet you where you are and help you grow from there.

Each class is well-structured, upbeat, and never boring. I love the mix of cardio, strength, and endurance—and the fact that you get real-time stats to track your progress just adds to the motivation.

If you’re looking for a welcoming environment, professional guidance, and a workout that actually keeps you coming back, I can’t recommend Orangetheory enough!”

“Hard to choose a single favorite: 1) Instructors are knowledgeable and genuinely motivated to see you succeed. 2) workouts are hard but doable 3) Music is a great distraction 4) It’s an hour workout but feels like 20 minutes !”

“Today’s class was so much fun! I could tell that the coach was well prepared to instruct one of the hardest movements to coach, handstand walks. Class flowed very nicely and was ran very well.”

“Really enjoy working out here. Broad selection of equipment, the staff is friendly and it is generally kept clean. Not giving a 5 out of 5 because the weights need to be re-racked after use more. Some of the patrons like to leave them wherever they used them. Poor gym edicate. Guess it's a pet peeve of mine having cleaned a gym on weekends as a teenager. Its just good courtesy for your fellow gym mates.”

“Great local gym. Helpful and friendly staff. Our family has been going here since 2017. Free weights, squat racks and multiple other machines spread across 3 floors. Fitness trainers and classes offered for gym members. Beautiful view of trees and wildlife outside gym windows is a nice bonus.”

“This isn’t my home gym as I’m on travel for work. Out of the 3 AF in Woodbridge area, this is the cleanest and best equipped. The equipment is functional as intended, most padding/coverings are NOT ripped like other locations in the area, and the machines are wiped down. I’ve seen the cleaning guy come through almost every time I was there. It’s not crowded at least in the morning. People are nice and respectful.

This in contrast to the other two locations where equipment is worn and appear as though they haven’t cleaned the gym in a year+. One particular location has an odor issue as I went there several times and every single time, whether crowded or empty, it smelled like a an old locker room. Long story short, I would pick this location over the other two anytime…”

“The BEST CrossFit community there is. Not to big so you are not overwhelmed and everyone is welcomed. A space where you can reach new fitness goals and be encouraged to get out of your comfort zone.If you are looking to start a journey in CrossFit or need a new box from PCSing….look no further.”

“I have been a member for about 2 years and before joining I didn’t even know how to
hold a barbell and had no idea what to expect.
The coaches are extremely accommodating and no matter where you start or what you can do, you can always guarantee that you will get a great workout and most importantly results!
All workouts are scalable and going in just 3 times top/week helped me tremendously with weight loss and postpartum recovery!”

“Friendly staff. Nice community amenities. My only con would be their handicap accessibility. For one they have no handicap parking near the pool or gym, its on the other side away from it. But i guess they had to pick a place and couldn't have it on both sides? Also, their adult pool (which is the closest pool to walk to) is not accessible for independent handicap use and exercise. There's no stairs or way to enter the pool except by jumping or kneeling in to get in. I saw the chair lift but if you just have problems with your legs you want to be independent and not dependent on an apparatus that draws attention to you and makes you dependent. So you are forced to go to the kiddie pool which makes it difficult to move around and exercise (because of children but it's their pool so you can't be mad) and also the depth cause it only gets so deep and so some of the exercises aren't easy to do (i.e., frog jumps). It wouldn't be so hard I would think to make an accessible way people that are physically challenged could access the adult pool nor to add a couple of handicap spots on the other side of the parking lot.”

“I love this gym! I am there in the early morning hours and Sarah and her staff are always pleasant. I have been going to this gym for more than 15 years and was very pleased when it became Method Gym. The entire facility was redone and new equipment put into place. The female restroom facility is always clean when I attend. It is a clean and welcoming facility with lots of activity and classes. Can’t go wrong purchasing a membership here. I continue to remain a fan of Sarah and Method Gym!”

“Absolutely amazing gym. I was in the area for a little while in search of a good gym and this one hit the nail in the head. Great lighting, great equipment, and wonderful owners. They welcomed me with open arms and were extremely helpful. This place is definitely one of the best gyms I've been to and should I ever come back around will definitely reach out again. 10/10”

“Awesome UFC Gym. Everyone is super helpful and knowledgeable. My son went here for a while and loved it - unfortunately he wasn't able to keep attending. The gym made freezing and cancelling the account very easy! All the coaches are very friendly and approachable - I never felt out of place here. Totally recommend to anyone!”

“Super nice staff. Great atmosphere, Very nice equipment placements, and some equipments are fairly new. Everybody is focused on their own workouts and It’s not too packed even in busier hours which is plus. Overall a great place to get your workout in :>”

“On a recent visit to Onelife, one of the front desk associates named Brendan was so helpful, professional and kind. He deserves a raise :) just because he’s a cool young man.Robin Lujan was patient, pleasant and helpful and followed up to make sure my membership concerns were taken care of. I admire her dedication and I would recommend her to anyone wishing join Onelife fitness.”

“We stopped at this location to help a client when we arrive we notice not to many people, the machines are brand new and like ..... futuristic ?it was clean and we'll mantein also has 24 access with magnetic key ..... trainer and all the stuff :-)”

“Decent Equipment and almost always available. Staff is always personable, although I wasn't aware of all of the services that they offer! My bad! Will check with them about their personalized services!”

“My husband & I joined in 2022, I’m in this gym on average about 5/wk, my hours are mostly mornings but I’ve been there in afternoons too. Immanuel has been great to give us info on equipment when needed. Yesterday it rained really hard & he went outside to clean water-moisture off the windows so patrons could see outside. Other staff mopped the wet flooring at the entrance. It’s been clean & we have been super pleased with the staff. I don’t know anyone else by name but they greet us upon entrance & exit & we are happy with this fitness center!! I did let them know that some of the equipment doesn’t read heart rate correctly & should repaired. Keep up the good work! Thanks”

“They installed new AC units. Classes are great. Nice inspiring teachers. Love Hatha yoga, Vinyasa yoga, Swimming, Zumba and Body pump. It's a pity the pool is closed for an entire month for maintenance.”

“I came into LA Fitness with major gym and social anxiety, having not worked out in years. From the start, Hector (personal training manager) made me feel at ease during my assessment. He really listened to my goals, considered my personality, and thoughtfully matched me with a trainer who would be the best fit. I’m a few months into my personal training and he’s continued to check in, which shows how much he genuinely cares about clients’ comfort and progress.

I was paired with Daniel, and I couldn’t be happier. He makes every session fun with his great sense of humor while still pushing me to improve. His knowledge and expertise are obvious — he’s always ready to answer my questions and provide helpful insight. Daniel is also incredibly professional, always prepared and on time for our sessions. Thanks to him, I feel more confident in the gym and I actually enjoy coming to workouts (even if I complain along the way ?).

Thanks to Hector and Daniel, what once felt intimidating has become something I truly enjoy. I’m so grateful for the encouragement, support, and positivity they’ve brought into my fitness journey.”

“I have been a member over 6 years and still my favorite gym..very nice staff, just added new equipment and I love it...I hate that they charge such high maintenance fee and don't give warning before charging your card”
