Beautiful gym. The facility is clean and the staff and clients are friendly and welcoming. I joined to take advantage of the Recovery facilities and have been very pleased with them. This is not just a place for young, fit people; all ages come here, especially those of us who are of retirement age. Ryan and Rich helped me out today when I was charged for an expensive training package that I did not agree to by a trainer; I did not even have an appointment with him until next week. The trainer should be fired for having me unknowingly sign a blank contract and then adding a weekly training package and my credit card information to it. I told him repeatedly that I was not ready to agree to a training package before I had had my complimentary training sessions. I also told him that my wife would never agree to an expensive training package under any circumstances. This was our first week, and we were trying out the facilities with great enjoyment. I know that both Ryan and Rich will handle the trainer appropriately. He’s lucky that I’m not his boss because he would be fired immediately. I look forward to coming back to my “happy place” (OneLife Fitness in Olney MD) every week for as long as I am able.

This is not only a gym, it's a life style. Anyone saying anything other than this gym is great, can't be serious about working out. The capital hill joint isn't the best but the classes are great. They need a strike studio. The one in Clinton is like a gym Mecca. Boxing classes, kick boxing classes, swimming pool, hot tub, massage room, space,great coaches,etc. I mean any and everything to get u right. This is a Life style.

Great atmosphere. Tons of equipment. Great trainers!

I really like this gym! Very friendly and they always greet me coming in and when I leave! More often than not. I’ve had training, my trainer was Kam, he is THE BEST! Very concerned about your workout and they will help you with anything! Once my daughter got sick, she had overworked herself and was nauseous. She regurgitated and they were right there with towels to help. Even on lookers reached in to help and give her water. They are real and I appreciate this staff

OneLife has a fitness center in Old Town, Alexandria Virginia, and I've attended for the past three years. My membership lets me visit other OneLife gyms, and I train (with Trainer Eliot Hyche) at the gym in Crystal Park. I participate in classes at the Old Town gym, and for the past three years I've taken the APEX course taught by Jennifer Foster. The course is intense, flexible, and really, really helpful. I started taking Jen's course because it fit well within my goals: I wanted to improve my balance and resilience, and I wanted to gain upper body strength. This course met each of these objectives. Over the course of 60 minutes, we dive into five circuits, with four exercises in each circuit. Jen does a great job of keeping the music active, and personally does the work with us, so we know exactly what our workout should look like. I trained with the Army Airborne at Ft. Benning in 1974 and found Jen's circuits to be way up to par, equivalent to what when on during basic training and jump school. More importantly, however, is the knowledge Jen brings to the class. Due to degenerative disc disease and an untreated compression fracture of my T4-T5, I steer clear of the impact accompanying burpees and mountain climbers. Jen teaches work-arounds, so that when the rest of the class is jumping and kicking, I can be elevating and rowing. This training is important to me: I've completed five polar expeditions (three in the Artic Ocean and two in Antartica). Each of these involves boarding Zodiac pontoons, where there will be ten passengers and a crew member operating the outboard engine. If we were to be swamped (which does, in fact happen, and happened three years ago in the Antarctic), each of us would need to have sufficient upper body strength, resilience, and balance, to get ourselves out of the frigid water and back on board. I go to Jen's class because it offers that kind of training. Great location, great facilities, and an outstanding instructor. My only comment would be to OneLife's management: recently, the local management allowed the placement of a class that runs from 11 to 11:55, when Jen's class starts at noon, on Tuesdays. Please give some thought to scaling back the Tai Chi class - please end that class by 11:45 a.m., to allow Jen's attendees to warm up without having to deal with the Tai Chi class.
