VIDA - Reston Station — Local services in Reston

In all areas for luxury gyms VIDA is honestly the best gym in the dmv area, you get top notch service and it’s always kept clean, beautiful facility, and really nice amenities plus a rooftop pool which other luxury gyms around the area do not have. The cleaning lady Opthelia here is a gem and class act- she never rushes me out like the staff at another gym (Life Time), and never makes me feel pressured and treats people well. The level of friendliness and service is significantly different than other corporate gyms in the Reston area and it’s what makes VIDA so refreshing. You get a warmer, more laidback vibe compared to the cold and uncaring corporate vibe of other gyms like Lifetime.

A 5/5, just wish for a couple things:

1. Later hours! If this gym closed just ONE more hour later on weekdays (and weekends if possible) that would be amazing and would allow night owls like me to fit in their workouts without rushing through because I don’t finish work till late. I really hope the manager sees this and can make it happen because that would really be a game changer.

2. The floors at the squat racks are too slippery. I think it’s the wood on the platform but I find myself slipping a bit sometimes and have to wear grip socks or I can’t get the grip I need on the ground when I’m squatting with socks/no shoes etc for stability. If they could replace these or find a workaround to make it less slippery, that would be great.

Shoutout to Leah one of the bartenders here, Karen one of the managers for their friendliness and genuine care for gym goers! People here, gym goers included, seem friendly and open creating a community vibe. The gym layout is spread out and it wasn’t too crowded when we went on a weekend. They validate parking all day on weekends and for 3 hours on weekdays. I like the relaxing vibe/calming music being played in the locker rooms, it gives it a nice lounge feel. I would love to see them be mindful that the social aspects they provide don’t overcast the gym’s naturally relaxed vibe, to ensure it doesn’t get too noisy or high energy for gym goers. For me I usually just prefer a focused environment to work out while also having a peaceful space to recover and unwind. Ideally a place where we can come in and work out, maybe socialize a bit, and also maintain a relaxed, not obnoxious environment would be super ideal, with a quiet vibe in the sauna/working spaces. Just a bit worried it might take on too much of a party vibe if the social aspect gets out of hand, so I am curious how they will go about that. I do like that they emphasize getting to know members and love that there are spaces to work too.

Overall VIDA is amazing and you won’t regret...

I’ve been going to the gym for about two weeks ago and tried majority of what it offer through the unlimited membership and I have to say this is one of the very few luxury gym out there that delivers without a doubt a 5 stars.

TLDR: Equipment - 5/5 Staff - 5/5 Amenities - 5/5 Food - 3/5 (this is more a preference thing more details below) Vibe - 5/5

Equipment: Pretty much has everything you need and the crowd never gets too busy to the point I have to wait for someone to finish to use the machine. The equipment and dumbbells are also in very good quality.

Staff: I couldn’t find a single bad experience when dealing with a staff member whether from the bar to fitness instructors or even the staff that handles the check in process. I give props to Caroline, she has pushed me to a limit I didn’t know I have while doing classes. Always keeps me in check once I start lacking or falling behind or just straight up doing the wrong form. I could go on and on about other staff member like Jasmine but I think this review is going to be too long.

Amenities: The shower/locker room is my favorite part of amenity so far. It became my therapy after a very hard workout (looking at you Caroline after Sweatboxing). Always clean whenever I go but I go at times where there isn’t a lot of traffic and even with a slow traffic I always see a staff member cleaning up the place or getting the towels to wash them.

Food: The It’s healthy lol too healthy just not my type although I only tried the bowls so far. I love the smoothies though. Now the penthouse food is a completely different topic. I love the five course meals that is offered there and the staff there makes me feel pampered.

Vibe: Everyone seems really nice and haven’t encountered anything aggressive or ego lifting or dropping weights like crazy.

It is a relatively new gym so I hope this quality will continue over time but as of right now, I love this place. Sorry for the long review (I never done this before) but I believe this place...

As a founding member of VIDA Reston, I couldn't be happier with my decision to join this incredible fitness and wellness center! This gym is truly a gem in the heart of Reston, offering top-notch facilities and a welcoming atmosphere. The gym is spacious, clean, and equipped with state-of-the-art machines and free weights. The staff is friendly and always ready to help. I absolutely love the Morozko ice bath 😌 It's perfect for muscle recovery and reducing inflammation, and I always feel rejuvenated after a session. The health benefits, like improved cardiovascular health, enhanced mood, and boosted immune function, all included. The heated yoga studio is another favorite of mine. Practicing yoga in a heated environment helps increase my flexibility, improve circulation, and detoxify my body. The instructors create such a calming and supportive environment that each session feels transformative. The full-service bar and café offer healthy food options, wine, and VIDA signature smoothies, making it a great place to relax and refuel after a workout. Sound bath sessions are a unique and soothing experience, available for a low fee. They help reduce stress and enhance mental clarity, making them a special addition to the wellness offerings. I also enjoy the game nights with card games and other activities. It's a fantastic way to unwind, have fun, and connect with fellow members. The laughter and friendly competition are great for reducing stress and boosting mood. The combination of the gym, Morozko ice bath, heated yoga studio, bar with smoothies, sound bath sessions, and game nights offers a holistic approach to fitness and wellness, supporting both physical and mental well-being 😗 Overall, VIDA Reston is more than just a gym; it's a community dedicated to health and wellness. As a founding member, I highly recommend it to anyone looking to elevate...
