Onelife Fitness Old Town

Too expensive. No pool.

To be honest this facility is TRULY A HIDDEN GEM!! Compared to most gyms which may be at a lower price point this Sport & Health offers all the BANG FOR YOUR BUCK and money is not wasted at all. The service from Colleen Lemorie (Sales Consultant) was nothing pushy but eye opening knowing that just for a little extra I would save more in the long run but also make sure I would save my body and get the results I aspire for with her team. The Persoanl Trainers truly take note of what your goals are and make sure you achieve them, overall the whole staff there is one big family that truly cares for clients and making sure they get the service they need but also attaing there goals that much easier. I will recommend everyone I know to come to the Old Town Sport & Health and see the wonders they work.

I'm absolutely astounded by the negative reviews here as they simply do not mirror anything about my experiences with this gym.I started working out here in 2011 after suffering through a miserable back injury from a bicycling accident. I was weakened, 25 pounds overweight, out of shape, and knew that I had a long road to recovering my health ahead of me and I was feeling overwhelmed by the size of the task ahead of me.Fortunately fate was on my side and this gym happened to be nearly across the street from my office and they gave me a free workout with a personal trainer as part of the signup deal. I was nervous about re-injuring my back and was frank with my trainer Jamaal about that, but also how I was feeling about myself and what I wanted to accomplish.My goal was to get back to a healthy weight, and to learn to workout in such a way as to just take care of my body. I had no aim to become a bodybuilder at 44 years old; I just wanted to learn to take care of myself physically. He listened, and created a high intensity workout for me that we would go through on Mondays and I would repeat on my own two more days during the week. We developed a warm friendship and that helped motivate me to push myself when we worked out because I trusted him and believed in what we were doing.So that workout addressed both the need for aerobic exercise and strength training. The next area for me to address was my diet, which this gym also helped with by providing access to Diet To Go. That program was exactly what I needed; structured, nutritious, prepared meals that I could pick up at the gym, take home with me and enjoy.The weight poured off me, I went from 210 to 185 in just a few months. I have come to somewhat enjoy exercise and have made it a way of life. I may never love it, but have learned that it’s simply a necessary ritual that allows me to enjoy the benefits of good health. Though I’m not in love with working out, this gym has helped me stick with it. And they do so by providing a clean, spacious, well-equipped facility that also happens to be in superb location.But most importantly the staff makes me feel connected to a community there. I have barely a foot in the door before I am greeting by name by smiling, friendly faces of people enjoying themselves at work. I was away for 2 years and was glad to see that nearly every staff member there was someone who had been there back when I first joined in 2011. That speaks volumes about a place of business, and I know from experience that I can ask any of the trainers for advice on technique or anything else I need help with. It’s first rate facility and the membership is well worth it. I’ll be coming back as long as things remain as they are.

This gym is awful. Totally outdated; equipment isn't maintained. The clientele skews older, which is fine, but it can lead to a very demotivating environment. Personal Trainers are rude- they completely take over the free workout space and don't give members who aren't with trainers space to workout alongside them. Completely overpriced for what you get.

Friendly staff, clean facilities with a great variety of classes and top-notch trainers -- including, but not limited to --Evie, Katy, Meghan, Cindy, and Blue w/TNT. My only complaint (minor complaint, so I guess my rating should be 4.5) is that the weights are sometimes left on the equipment by the previous member. Although I would like to think I could squat 200 pounds, I know it would not be wise (or pretty) so I end up having to put away Superman's weights. Like I said, it's a minor complaint.

Most military unfriendly gym I've been too. And this is Virginia.

I love this gym. It has everything but a pool. It's clean, there are tons of classes, and everyone is friendly.

At one point, I loved this club. I think its because I didn't know any better. I joined when we were still relatively new to the area and I couldn't bother shopping around. It was easy enough to get to, there were some good class choices, and the opening hours worked for me.In the few months since I started, I realized I am overpaying for poor quality. Classes get canceled or start late regularly. The personal trainer was insulting and condescending before we even started training. I can handle tough love when we're actually working out, but what is the point of telling me I'm an amateur when it comes to fitness? There are an unnecessary number of hidden costs and fine print. If you lose your cheap plastic membership card, there's a charge (that is way more than the card actually costs). They boast about their overnight lockers, but there's a fee. All the extra commitment programs and some of the pilates programs also have extra charges. Just so you know, these are not really nominal fees. Reformer pilates cost the same as going to a pilates studio without a membership and paying for classes, so the gym membership didn't really provide any sort of discount on that front.The "benefits" you get with your first month like meal planning are not good. The meal planning didn't work for awhile and when it did, it was a clunky program that was difficult to use and worse than free meal planning programs on the internet. The initial "training session" was 20 minutes of questions and hidden insults, 10 minutes of actual training and stretching, and 15 minutes of trying to sell me on a personal training package. I will not pay $60 for a session to get insulted by someone. I can insult myself for free.The tipping point came with the change in hours. Seemingly without notice, they opened half an hour later every weekday and an hour later on weekends, without extending hours. So, they cut 4.5 hours of service for members without anything to offset the reduction in access. I notified them of my complaint and got the standard response (which some of you may have gotten on here). They also claimed that they didn't change any hours, but I had been under the previous schedule and they also listed the old hours on their Facebook page.I did not break my contract early, but rode out the last couple months. It was very easy to not renew my membership. One of the few "great" points of this club. The reason I'm giving this 2 stars and not 1 is because there were several great group classes. Apart from the scheduling/timing of those classes, the substance was actually fun and a great workout.

After 2.5 years of membership, I've grown incredibly disappointed with this gym. For starters, their monthly premiums are outrageous. I have found a cheaper rate (literally half the price!) at a nearby gym. I called their member services hotline to negotiate a better rate so that they might not lose my membership to another gym. But, alas, they could only offer me a $5 reduction in dues. A joke! Secondly, this gym opens at 5:30 a.m. on weekdays which is entirely too late for many Washingtonians. Even at 5:15 a.m. open time would buy those few extra, precious minutes in the morning. Furthermore, I had my keys with my membership card on it stolen and they will only replace for a hefty fee-- this ON TOP of exorbitant monthly dues. The LEAST they can do is replace my stinkin' card! They clearly do not value my business and I am out the door... (oh and don't even get my started on the broken equipment).Their prices are FAR from competitive. Do NOT join.

I truly enjoy Old Town Sport and Health. I have been a member for a year now and I have never had an issue with staff, as a matter of fact, most of the time I don't have to scan in because they know who I am and do it for me. The facilities are well maintained and the mens locker room is top notch.
