Edit: dropped the review even lower because of what they did to the big turf area (formerly the CrossFit zone). It is now sectioned off from regular gym users and is now only for those who have paid for personal trainers and people in a lifting class. I've seen the schedule for the classes, they run at the most 2-3 times a day for an hour at a time and usually have around 2-3 hours between each session. When they aren't having classes this room is completely empty aside from when a trainer takes a single client into the room. In that room there are 4 squat racks and deadlift platforms (half of the platforms in the entire gym) that are not able to be used for the bulk period of the gym being open.I don't see why I can't use this equipment during off class hours, there was no problem before. I pay money to use the gym and now I pay the same amount for even less equipment. FantasticEverything below this point was in my initial review and so far everything is still the same.I've been working out here for about 2 months almost daily and this is what I think so far. The gym is fine and has enough equipment to fulfill a variety of training styles, however I do have a few gripes that I think would massively improve the gym if they were addressed.1. 2/3 of all the deadlift platforms are attached to the squat racks and are close enough to each other that neither can be utilized at the same time. If management is reading this, please separate these because no one wants to deadlift 6 inches away from someone squatting.2. Barbell clips are almost impossible to find anywhere other than the CrossFit zone. Usually this means if I want to use clips for a pressing movement, I have to walk all the way to that zone in order to get clips.3. The barbells themselves have very smooth knurling and no middle knurl which makes squatting awkward and deadlifting more grip intensive (chalk is also not allowed which is a deal breaker for some people.)

Front desk lady that reads books and closes needs to learn customer service. Doesn’t acknowledge customers and rude. Gym itself is great, I’ve been going here for years.

Love this gym. If you are an active gym goer and want a great place to workout then this is it! The facilities are amazing and the staff is very friendly.(Would be 5 star but 2 because of this) However, I highly recommend finding a different gym if you have children. Onelife princess anne does not have a good kids club. It used to be great back in 2016,17,18 time frame. Now, it is a wild juggle where “kids” are watching your children. The management does not prioritize the kids club and safety of the children. The management can’t get a handle on their staff using their cell phones while they are supposed to be watching your kids and making sure they are okay. The issue seems to be ongoing and I doubt they will ever take the time to change it.Other than this I love this gym and have been coming to it since it was a golds gym.UPDATE:Nothing has improved. Changed to 2 stars. The management doesn’t care to make any improvements to the kids club. The “adults” watching your children are blatantly on their phones out in the open. I walked in one time while one worker was holding a baby and on her phone at the same time. My kids leave the club and tell me that the workers ignore them and don’t listen to them when they try to talk to them. This gym is great but the complete disregard for the well-being of the club members children who go here is completely unsatisfactory. I’ve mentioned to management (my wife as well) that workers were watching videos on their cell phones with the children (one time while hiding in the slide so no one could see) but to no surprise, nothing is ever done.In short, if my children couldn’t talk to me and tell me what is going on in the kids club, I wouldn’t bring them. The ratio of “workers to children is usually 1:10 if not more. If you are okay with a warm body watching Tiktok next to your children “watching” over them then this place is perfect for you.

The absolute worst gym etiquette patrons and inconsistent staff ive ever experienced!

My workout buddy is out of town this week so I will be going to the rec center where they properly maintain the equipment and I don't have to tighten loose bolts to prevent being hurt by aging and neglected maintenance.

I haven’t gone in yet, but I’ve been considering restarting my membership, haven’t been since Covid started. I love one life especially bc of the childcare! The greenbrier location was my go to previously, but this location is closest to my home. Until reading the reviews regarding child care, my daughter is 4, I’d be terrified to leave her unattended. Anything could happen. One life, this should be treated like a real daycare. Ensure you have a least 2 adults based on the volume of kids. Adults that want to be in there, that like kids, or have experience.

I have tried to call, email, and send a Facebook message to cancel my personal training since my contract is up and nobody ever gets back to me. I was told my last payment was supposed to be last month and they still charged my account this month. I'm at the point where I want to contact my bank and see if they can help.

The gym itself is nice and spacious. But like someone else said on here I definitely wouldn’t recommend leaving your children in the play area. It’s just not safe at all. The staff doesn’t pay attention at all. It’s only a matter of time before a kid gets snatched up. When we dropped our kid off one night a staff member said right in front of us to another “Omg only 1 hour left till we’re off”. Also the night staff is awful. The same two girls never greet you when you walk in or leave. Their heads are stuck in their phones and they’re too worried about telling everyone every 10 min what time the gym closes.
