OneLife is a great gym - wonderful quality at an affordable price. The north Bethesda/Pike & Rose is one of my favorite locations - there’s call your mother, summerhouse and south block across the street. Parking is easy and they validate for 2.5 hours. They have a great kids club, no reservation required. This location has a beautiful relaxation wing with massage chairs, yoga studio, and cooler with eucalyptus infused towels. I love the BodyPump classes, but I’ve seen great personal training going on and an abundance of fitness equipment.
Terrible experience. I just came in after work and Richard asked me if I was going to change i said I wasnt planning on it. Felt extremely judged. He said my boots would "scuff up the platform". Yet these boots are brand new!! I dont understand why im not allowed to wear this kind of footwear in the gym. I've been to multiple Onelife's in maryland and they have had no problem with that at all. Overall, just him being hostile from the beginning made me feel uneasy and unwelcome. Great place to sign up if you want to be judged. Will not be back.
I moved from Richmond six months ago and joined this gym four months ago. I started with yoga classes and instructor is top notch. I recently started body pump express. Every instructor here is so friendly and professional. It’s not a gym, more like a community here where everyone greets each other and catches up with daily life.

Do not sign up for Gym. As A pro boxer, Professional athlete, I thought I could sign up for this gym as an alternative for my boxing gym I own. From the moment I got there, I felt judged and it felt like a lot of people didn’t want me there or like I was in the way. Then the general manager named Skyler, A week later came up to me and asked me to not hit the back so hard Because it’s bothering other clients at the gym. As a fighter, The way I train is how I’m gonna perform in the ring. So any bad habits or lack of training can risk my safety in health. This was my first encounter with him. There was many more. The next one, He accused me of sparring when there was zero contact with anyone, and my friends were just holding admits that I was punching which I’ve seen other trainers. They are due as well, so I did not see the problem in this. He then tried to say that it was based off insurance policies, which I can understand, but the way he approached me the way he yelled at me, And the way he handled that was not away. A general manager should de-escalate a situation. And as an owner of a Gym, I am well aware of The insurance policies and what could happen so I understand the risk and why he had to say something but the way he did it was totally unacceptable. Then on top of that me and paying member, I was with he then tried to cover his ass and label us on the system instead of owning his accountability and making us feel welcome in the community. He decided to blacklist us and totally list us and his explanation. I still have all the emails As proof. And as a Spanish man in this world, I felt a little racism there as well, This gym is predominantly white with maybe one or two members there every time I went that are not white. If you are a minority, you will feel very out of place whether you want to or not whether they intended or not, It is very out of place. Then let’s add that the general manager is a very toxic human being. The equipment is half broken. They don’t even try to replace it. They just fix it so they can hide it, but it doesn’t really work. Most of the treadmills glitch out and you have to switch mid run. And their solution to fixing the equipment is buying more equipment and cramming that work out area. Their trainers just stare at you if you’re in better shape than them and then complain that you’re working out too hard to management. This place is not worth the price they charge do not go there. And until Skyler is removed, this place will only go farther down the drain.

The gym is good and my original trainer was solid. The communication around my training package was the problem.
My confirmation emails didn't match what actually happened. About half my sessions never generated one, and three bookings that never took place did. I lost track of my count because of it, which is partly on me. After a mid-package trainer change, I was booked for a session after my package had run out, and only told afterward. They charged it at my package rate, which was fair, but a heads-up before the session would have been easy.
If you buy a package here, keep your own count, and ask the front desk to show you your session history. It's more accurate than the emails.
