  Wife and I have been members at this gym for about a year. Gym is good. However there is a major problem my wife and I have discovered after speaking to multiple folks over the last few months. It appears that different members are being charged different monthly rates for the same exact membership and services. The pricing seems inconsistent and unfair, with some people paying significantly less than others for no clear reason. Membership pricing should be transparent, consistent, and fair to everyone. It shouldn't feel like the price you pay depends on who you speak to, who is working that day, or whether staff decide to offer you a better deal because they like you. Members are paying for the same facilities and services, so there should be clear and consistent pricing policies. This kind of inconsistency makes it difficult to trust the business. Management really needs to address this issue and explain why members are being charged different prices for the exact same membership. My wife and I have proof of this even of members signing up on the same exact day for the same membership and receiving different rates.

  First, the good. I've been a member for about a month now, and there is a lot to like about the facilities. Everything is what you would expect for the price point of the gym, and free parking was an important part of my decision since I drive in from east of the river (we only have planet fitness over there, sadly). The complementary training session is good, I know it's meant to sell personal fitness sessions, but if that is something you are into, it might be worth it. Now the gross/ugly: There is a stated policy that "regular swimwear is required" to use the spa in the locker room. Some women have decided not to follow this policy and get in naked, without showering off first, no less. When I said something to the staff, she rudely told me that it was DC law that they couldn't enforce that, told me I could follow her upstairs to talk to a manager while I was standing on only a towel after showering off from the hot tub. And of course, she lied. The law says the opposite, I looked it up -- D.C. Code § 7-431 expressly defines a "spa pool" as a structure intended for bathing or recreational use whose water is not ordinarily drained and replaced after each use and may instead be recirculated. The same statute defines people using a swimming or spa pool as "bathers." More importantly, the District's Aquatic Facilities Regulations, 25-C DCMR § 202.1, specifically provide that rules for admission to spa pools and saunas "shall be enforced." The regulations also require bathers to shower before entering a spa pool or sauna. The regulations further address contamination directly. Under 25-C DCMR § 201.4, aquatic-facility personnel are required to restrict the introduction of "dirt, excreta, and other extraneous matter" into the water and to exclude people showing apparent signs of infection such as open cuts, wounds, rashes, or blisters. The same section specifically requires protective clothing for incontinent bathers. When I brought this to the attention of the membership manager (on duty) she just gave me the GM's card and corporate's email. I have contacted them and cited all DC laws which require them to enforce their stated policies. I know it's uncomfortable to ask people to follow rules, especially when they are naked, but by not enforcing their own rules (or enforcing them selectively, like insisting that nobody have a cell phone in the spa), they risk a decline in the quality and cleanliness of the gym, which is why people pay extra -- for a classy environment that is comfortable for everyone. So I give a huge thumbs up to the classes and the facilities, but unfortunately several of the attendants (all female, sadly, and I'm a girls girl) are at best unfriendly and often rude, and they selectively enforce their own health and safety policies to the detriment of the members.

  Anna has been an amazing trainer. The attention to detail was always top notch. I saw results quickly and felt better within weeks. If I hadn't moved out of DC then I would def. have made sure to keep going specifically for her and her approach. I absolutely suggest asking for Anna when looking into a trainer. The facilities are really nice and straightforward
