Harassment , embarrassment and bad manners of the staff manager Kyle. I would like to share the horrible experience I had at pure fitness So I got a day pass for a few days. Suppose to be 05, 06, 07 and maybe 08 . Wasn’t my first time there, and I never had any problems . Actually the staff always seemed friendly specially the guy with red hair, Max . But unfortunately, at the day 06 my perception of this place changed . To clarify I like to have my work out carrying a small back pack , and I would like to affirm ITS SMALL and A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE TO DO THE SAME . It’s something normal. I just believe it’s pretty silly having all my gym stuff plus phone , water, ankle straps , towel , snacks in case my blood pressure goes dow things I currently use DURING work out or whatever, spread around, and every gym I ever been nobody never complained and a lot of people DO THE SAME . It’s not a luggage , it’s a SMALL BACK PACK . But at pure fitness they have a pretty silly rule saying you are not allowed to keep any bag with you. What ??? And this guy named Kyle from the staff, came to me at the day 06 , interrupted my class with my expensive trainer to complain about my back pack . I argued that was a gym bag with stuff I was currently using but he kept speaking about “rules “ and what really offended me was the tone he had used . He pretty much was acting passive aggressive or maybe like a father correcting a spoiled kid and he ended “ok I will let you keep today but tomorrow not “ . Oh really ? Thanks sir ! I didn’t pay attention to anything because sorry , I have thousands of things to do in my day and the gym what I’m paying suppose to be the good part of my day and not something difficult. For real I suppose to stop my busy day and go after a locker to lock my stuff and have my work out uncomfortably missing easy access to my stuff ? At the next day ( day 07 ) I didn’t even remember about this guy . But as soon I got there here he comes . Again he interrupted my work out classes with my teacher and again he started using that tone from the day before but worst . He started speaking saying “I warned you yesterday “ , “ I told you “ , “you were warned “ , acting like someone superior , speaking loud , and trying to embarrass me in front of everyone . The way he spoke looked like I had committed a crime , killed someone or something serious , but the joke is all that speaking was about …a gym bag . I just said , ok take my bag but I’m gonna write a bad review . Oh my gosh , at this point this man got mad . He kept interrupting my classes , making a HUGE scene saying I couldn’t do a bad review , saying I was rude ? Me ? Rude ? Rude because I was arguing about my right of keep my small gym bag with me ? I can’t write a bad review ? Yes for sure I can it’s a free country and I can give my opinion about something I’m actually paying and I told him that and at this point he started threatening loud to cancel my membership and expelled me . What ? This is harassment. A gym suppose to be a friendly spot that understands the needs of every different person , not a place with stupid rules or difficult questions . And by the way , there were other girls, all of them with back packs , stuff , bottles , GYM STUFF and he didn’t say a word to them . I took a picture and I’m gonna post bellow here because I won’t be quiet about someone chasing me and harassing me about something stupid and closing the eyes to other girls who were doing exactly the same . I don’t know but I really believe that guy had a problem with me or maybe mistreating a small girl made him feel better about himself ? I don’t know, but for sure I’m gonna expose his attitude because he can’t just harassing a girl in a public. Bellow here the pictures of my small back pack ( black ) and the other people stuff spread all around the gym. PS : seems this same guy Kyle used be passive aggressive with another clients, it’s more people complaining about him here at the reviews, looks like he is the kind of guy who likes...

I went to Pure Fitness Tysons last summer to check out their facilities and see whether it would work for my attempt at starting strength training. The facility seems quite new and is always locked. I rang the buzzer and James Jones-Williams, one of the coaches, let me in and showed me around. Very clean facility with lots of treadmills, weight machines, sleds and tracks, in-person and video classes with separate rooms, and a big free weight area. I talked with James several times about the different membership plans and the amenities, and ended up joining the Gym about a week later. I also arranged for James to be my coach.

My goals for weight lifting were to get stronger and not to get hurt or get fat. All their equipment was modern, but I quickly learned that I didn't like their squat racks because the pin locations for holding the barbell were too widely spaced and hit me either too high or too low as I tried to walk the bar in. Similarly, I couldn't figure out how to use their bench press stations safely without a spotter and I didn't always have James with me. Their dedicated deadlift area was quite nice but I ended up using their power racks almost exclusively for all my lifts. Their power racks didn't have safety bars but they kept promising to get them.

My absolute favorite amenity turned out to be their Hydrotherapy "beds" which I enjoyed after every workout. I also enjoyed being able to suspend my membership for vacations and other reason that I would be out of the area for a while. The staff was always friendly and the facility was always clean. I was usually there anytime between 10 and 4 pm so it was never crowed. I don't ever remember having to wait for access to a power cage or hydrotherapy bed.

James kept me safe during a couple of failed squats and bench presses. I really appreciated that he would cancel a training session if he felt the least bit sick. I never had to worry about catching a bug from him.

After 9 months or so, my life began to get busier. I ended up installing a home gym and eventually canceled my Gym membership. It wasn't as easy as pushing a button on the app but, once I connected to an agent in their Chat service, it only took a minute to cancel. My home gym saves me half an hour of travel time to and from the gym and the convenience of going downstairs to work out is just amazing. While I don't have nearly as many exercise options as Pure Fitness offers and I miss James and the people, it's enough for now. I do miss the hydrotherapy beds. Even if you have a home gym, Pure Fitness is a really well-equipped, nice...

If you're looking for a personal trainer or considering one, get in touch with Yulia here at this gym and have her help you towards your fitness goals. She is an excellent personal trainer and will help get you into shape. If you have certain physical conditions like I did when I initially started, I can recommend her even more.

Prior to having Yulia as my personal trainer, I was visiting a chiropractor practice for right shoulder impingement and back issues for about three years. These conditions didn't get worse but they didn't get better either. I was told my shoulder impingement would never go away and I would have to live with it for the rest of my life. I was taught stretching exercises to help ensure my conditions didn't get worse. I was recommended to not perform certain exercises that could make my conditions worse. Due to this, I didn't do much strength training and mostly walked for exercising. I was slowly getting weaker over time though.

My wife recommended Yulia to me as a personal trainer and I initially reluctant. After considering my (terrible) fitness condition at that time, I ended up hiring her as my personal trainer. Yulia has been training me for close to two years now. I can confidently say that my right shoulder impingement and back issues are gone. I've put on a noticeable amount of muscle overall, learned correct exercise forms, learned how to properly diet to support muscle growth and lose weight. I'm extremely happy with my results to-date and feel thankful to have Yulia as my...
