Mask required. Social distance by 6 to 10 feet. Thermometer at entrance but they don’t check for temperature. You have to reserve a time slot and its good for 1:15hr (hour and fifthteen minutes) to allow the workers to come in and sanitize for the next group. They’ll give a 10 minute warning before your time is up

Absolute nightmare. When I initially requested they freeze my membership (about three months into the pandemic) they ignored my request and continued to charge me. After I persistently called and emailed them, they then agreed to give me a refund for those erroneous charges. But, instead of refunding me they charged me the amount they agreed to refund me. Fed up with their antics, I decided to cancel the membership completely. Six months later they are now charging me again for a monthly membership.This only scratches the surfaces of my endless attempts to contact them during the nearly one year that this has dragged on -- virtually all emails and what phone conversations I could actually get with a manager is handled by a different people, who often understand and commit to different things. Absolute nightmare.

Good customer service but boy what a basic gym this is. I was a member at foggy bottom location and I can say that I have seen hotel gyms bigger than this. This is a very small gym for the membership cost. Machines are always being used and this gym gets crowded. I wouldn't recommend joining this gym during Covid. People are literally on top of each other. Not safe at all.

They have a swimming pool, sauna and beautiful locker room. It was not easy to locate since it was inside a hotel on their lower level.

Really enjoy coming to this gym. Everything is always very clean, and the staff are friendly. It can be a little tricky to find it since it’s entrance is through the Fairmont, but would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a gym in the DC area.

Hands down the best gym I've ever used/been a member of. The locker room in the Foggy Bottom location is always pristine and has beautiful showers, clean warm towels, hair dryers, deodorant, hair spray, makeup wipes, cotton balls, q-tips, lotion, straighteners - anything you could need. And there's a sauna in the locker room!The classes were my absolute favorite part, though. After awhile, I almost exclusively was going to their classes, every day, sometimes twice a day! The instructors are so awesome (especially Kathleen, Chris, and Sarah!) and there's such a good variety of classes (lifting, bootcamp, cycling, bodypump, yoga, HIIT, crossfit, barre, pilates, and more).The location was beyond convenient for me, too. I unfortunately had to move out of the area after only 7 months of being a member here, but honestly, this gym is the one thing I miss the most from living in DC. I looked forward to every day because I knew I could start it with a killer workout at this gym.
