Anytime Fitness is the best! Here are the top 5 reasons why I like AF Rosslyn:
They are open 24 hours. I used to go to a gym in Rosslyn that would close at 7 pm on weekends. To me, that is an extremely early time to close a gym in such a densely-populated area. Sometimes I work weekends and I am not able to go the gym until after 7 pm. Having a gym that is open 24 hours is a huge benefit for the neighborhood.
The machines work! I know, it's such a simple item. But you would be surprised how many gyms in the area have signs on the machines or simply have broken machines on the workout floor. The machines are brand new and they all work!
The staff is super friendly. At my previous Rosslyn gym, the front desk staff would not even lift their head up from their phone when I would check-in. Now, I don't need the front desk to hold my hand and ask me how my day is, but acknowledging my existence while I patronized a business would be a nice start. Russ, Peter and Tyler are all extremely helpful and friendly. I've personally worked out with Peter and Tyler and they will give you an intense workout if you decide to go with a personal training session or group training session.
They gym is in a convenient location. It's located right in the Deloitte building. It's walking distance to most condos and apartment buildings in the area. I've seen a few members bike to the gym and there's plenty of bike parking around. And for those that drive to the gym, there is free street parking after 8 pm on surrounding streets. Worst case scenario is you pay a dollar or two and pay for street parking.
The members are easy-going. There are members that lift heavy weights, members that only run on the treadmill and everyone in between. That being said, everyone who I've said hello to or ran into has been super nice and laid-back. It's not a huge power-lifting gym, although there are a few power lifters. What I like best is that people put their weights back after they use them. AF Rosslyn has more of a 'community' vibe to it where everyone is there trying to improve themselves and most people don't have an ego when it comes to putting weights back or wiping down machines when they're done using them.
I became a member before the AF Rosslyn was even open because I was looking for a gym in Rosslyn that was clean, had machines that were working and had good personal trainers. The gym has easily checked those boxes and much more.
I would highly recommend Any Time Fitness Rosslyn to anyone looking for a new and better...
   Read moreI currently go to 3 gyms do to traffic and needing access to a gym for convenience. I go to planet fitness which is 24/7, anytime fitness which is 24/7, and onelife fitness not 24/7.
From 1 to 5 five being awesome
Planet fitness gets a hard 2 maybe 3 I judge most places by how clean their bathrooms are. And well it's not usually stocked or cleaned. Customer service needs a lot of work Machines tend to be broken and no one is ever at the counter for me to use my massage chair. Classes none existent, parking is great.
Onelife fitness. I would give a 4 I go to onelife fitness because I love the amenities I get with this club they offer yoga, pilates, cycling, and more all inclusive my particular gym even has a pool. Onelife biggest downfall to me is I dont like to be sold. I feel like I'm at a car dealership sometimes with the trainers trying to get me to get sessions uhhhhh NO. Parking is great never an issue . Anytime fitness in rosslyn 5 out of 5. The gym is smaller and I thought that would be a concern but honestly it's not a problem. Out of all my gyms they always have the cleanest bathrooms. Machines are never broke. The staff and trainers genuinely cares about your well being and health and life goals. And arent looking to rob you of your money to gain more business. Dont get me wrong they have a business to run here but their approach to it is sooooo much better and I think them for them. It actually makes me want to just donate money lol. Rosslyn is not a cheap area so even though the classes they offer arent free well they got Bill's to pay and a wonderful facility they need to upkeep for us to enjoy lol. I work in the rossl . Area and parking is non existent. So I cant blame the. For not having the ability to not offer parking maybe in the future who knows. So overall it's small but the value you get from the staff is well worth...
   Read moreBoth the gym and the personal training services (from Peter) are top notch. The employees are friendly, the gym facilities are always clean and well-stocked, and they've done an excellent job navigating working out safely in a COVID environment.
As far as the training is concerned, Peter has blown me away with both his knowledge and ability to convey information in a way that is easy for my body to adapt to. Plenty of trainers have the knowledge, but Peter is the first trainer out of the half-dozen or so I've worked with (including some high-intensity full-time military trainers) who trained me to think about which muscles to engage and how to actually think through a lift. As a result, lifts like my bench press actually feel like they're working the muscles they're supposed to, and lifts like my deadlift no longer result in lower back pain. They're small tweaks, but ones that no other trainer has caught up to this point.
Hands-down one of the best investments of my...
