Had a laughably bad experience trying to join this gym today.
I went in and asked the guy at the front desk for a tour because I wanted to join and he said "have your ID" so I gave it to him, and then he just looked at me so I shrugged and said "I guess I'll show myself around." Looked around, the gym was fine or whatever, but normally they'll have someone show you the equipment, tell you about classes, etc. This is your chance to sell me on your gym, but they passed on the opportunity to do that.
I came back to the front to pick up my ID (why they needed it in the first place I'll never know) and asked how much the monthly membership was. He said he didn't know. He said I'd need to book an appointment with a manager.
Outside of being completely unhelpful, they didn't even pretend to care about the opportunity to get new business, which is why this is laughable.
Anyway, I walked around the corner and joined another gym.
Shady membership policies, with unannounced increases to your membership dues. Contracts are fraught with contradictions and discrepancies, so that you need to fight with the club just to cancel. Do not join this club, join another one that is run more transparently. Look up the history of legal disputes Town Sports International has had with its members before joining.
Great Staff, open and lots of space + machines. Also have an amazing sauna area downstairs. Best WSC in the DC area!
Great place to work out, at least they have new equipment now.
This is one of the better clubs in this chain--spacious and rarely problematically crowded, even in the morning and post-work evening rush. It's not the cleanest and upkeep is clearly not a strong suit here. But, you get what you pay for, as the price point is significantly lower than the more premium clubs in the area like MINT or VIDA.
Great location need to update equipment
Unlike those over-priced yet plastic "boutique" gyms in U St/Dupont (Vida, etc.), this gym is big, real & down-to-earth, professional equipment, great spa, nice staff, yet affordable rate (half of Vida's)........WARNING - Vida is not a gay gym any more, has monitor cameras in locker room & collects your biometrics too (Is it legal?).

It's been a while since I have been here but I've had a lot of good experiences here working out on the elements of core fitness and cardio routines here. The hamman room was fantastic and didn't have to bother anyone for a towel.

W/ Vida Fitness's environment increasingly hostile to gay men (e.g,, cameras in men's room) & str8 women/feminists' overrun, this old school WSC gym (& the S. Dupont one) is more & more popular among gay men. Great rate at $60/month only (Vida's at $116/month + pricey mandatory programs/political donations + hidden fees, eg. eco fee).

Reasonable price, various locations, pretty good group exercise classes nut spotty maintenance and services.

MAKE SURE YOU CANCEL TWO MONTHS AHEAD OF ACTUAL CANCELLATION. Everything was great up until i moved out of state; the cancellation process is the most unbelievably ridiculous thing i've ever encountered. Basically i ended up paying for two months that i didn't need (being that i moved across the country and all). I cancelled my membership in early january, and was fine that they needed to charge me for that full month. But i just saw ANOTHER charge on my credit card for february. Now, that's not even the part that upsets me the most. What really disappointed me was the way i was spoken to when i called this gym/location to ask about it and all i got was attitude and her response was "because that's the way our memberships work" and when i said that it seemed completely silly to have a 45 DAY cancellation policy, and asked why they would need a month and a half to cancel one's membership, she again said "because that's just the way it is." Really. Okay cool, well thanks for nothing and thanks for your bad attitude. This company needs to work on customer service, and rethink that asinine 45 day thing...makes absolutely zero sense, i'm pretty sure it doesn't take 45 f'ing days to click the "cancel membership" button on your computers, but if they're fine with losing members this way, that's on them. When a member wants to cancel, have them pay out the rest of that month, fine. But why you need to continue charging them afterwards is beyond me. I would have continued my membership in my new state, but they just lost yet another customer because of this anti-membership retention plan - so even if you don't know you're going to need to cancel in the future, do it anyway so you're not stuck paying $180 more than you planned on.
Great place if your serious about working out
Excellent locations, machines, facilities, customer service, hours, specialized individual and group training options, sauna, steam rooms, pools, and much more.
Gym is huge. Lots of equipment and weights but the pieces seem to be scattered all over the place. The placement of the equipment doesn't make sense to me. Plus the locker room could use cleaning up, towels all over the place. Overall give this place a chance.
Good gym - good range of classes, big locker rooms, lots of machines and areas to stretch, and staff is friendly.
My only problem is cleanliness. The showers don't ever get a good scrubbing (which I'm basing on the fact that there has been soap scum on the floor of some of the women's showers for months now), the machines are pretty dusty in places, and I really doubt that the sauna ever gets disinfected since I've been staring at the same spot on the tiles for a while now...
All in all - if you're looking for a relatively cheap & accessible gym, this one will be fine.
Nice coed wet area . Street parking
The best gym in the region for the price.
