Worst gym. Equipment always broken. Staff is not friendly at all. Closes for a full month a feels like you owe them dues for that. If you are not perfect, you do not belong there.
I absolutely love this gym. The positive energy is overflowing, and all of the members and staff have been so kind and courteous. No one stands around taking selfies and everyone is respectful of the equipment. No equipment hogs here!! The facility is always clean, locker room (as well as shower) is stocked with anything you may have forgotten at home, and the sauna and steam room are always working perfectly. Keep up the great work VIDA!
Located in the heart of U street/AdMo, this high quality facility features top-notch equipment and plenty of space to accommodate all kinds of training. Immaculately clean with a friendly staff. Well worth a trip and as good or better than most high-end gyms.
VIDA is life, literally. Its the best money you will EVER spend because the return on your investment is priceless. Words can't describe the happiness this place gives me. VIDA is church. The energy is magnificent, the space is amazing and the equipment flawless. The rooftop is gorgeous the facilities very clean and staff is great. And I've made some amazing friends there over the years too. I own three small businesses hence I understand and appreciate what it takes to oversee an operation of this caliber. I wouldn't change anything about VIDA because it does not get any better. To say I love VIDA is an understatement. I'm coming up on five years membership in a couple months and joining VIDA is unequivocally one of the best decisions I ever made. Trust me, VIDA will change your life.

Amazing place with an amazing staff. Full gym with all the essential and service that a Gym can offer. Machines are well kept , and great workout vibe.

The most decent gym in DC. But lately, they have been faking short especially when it comes
To maintenance. It feels like each day there is something not working.

Financially desperate (9th St. branch just has closed.)? Oversold membership, yet still open house & run full-paged "news"/ads. The signs saying "Limit Yourself to 30 Minutes" are all around the cardio machines. You'll have to wait in line to take a shower. The cleaning staff are ALL Latinos (cheap labor). FYI - HVAC NEVER WORKS!

Best gym in DC hands down. Equipment, facilities, instructors and personnel alike remain a constant at the U Street location. Vida offers a number of different group classes from spinning, TRX, yoga to pilates reformer, all of which are available almost around the clock and come with the cost of membership. This is truly a destination gym. Rooftop pool membership is an obvious Yes. Easy to spend 3-4 hours here at a time.

The AC system has been an issue off and on for over a year now. Overall, the gym is great, but it gets hot inside and at times is unusable because the system is broken. They've tried to fix it, but it's an ongoing problem. I wouldn't say it's a reason not to join, but something to be aware of.
UPDATE: Most recently, I tried addressing this with management and they seemed to brush off my concern and were unwilling to offer anything in exchange for the gym currently having no power or AC. They've made the other locations available for use, but that's not helpful for members who joined this location for convenience and proximity to work/home. I'm now considering joining a gym that has a reliable HVAC system.

Dion Jordan's cardio dance class is
simply awesome!!!!!
What a terrific way to spend your Sunday afternoon. A little jazz, a little
hip hop, a little Zumba all wrapped together in a package of high energy great music , and the best workout ever!!!
RETAIL RACISM? If you are not white, especially not dressing in a middle-class style, you'll get extra scrutiny, scan your finger print > once, even be bullied and harassed by Vida's front desk when checking in - Yelp has more. The cleaning personal are all Latin. Blacks are trainers. All the managers are white. Go figure!
I was a loyal member at the Vida Metropole and U Street locations for almost two years.
I unfortunately have to let anyone new to DC know that Vida does not care about you the minute you try to cancel. You are guilty until proven innocent and they deliberately charge you extra (including a cancellation fee).
I cancelled over the phone and then was told months later I was being charged hundreds of dollars for not cancelling. After showing proof of the cancellation form I filled out, they refused to reimburse me. In fact, they told me they needed written traffic via email proving the form was legitimate... Talk about treating your customer base poorly (especially a loyal one).
Do not let Vida steal your money. It was an endless battle with them. Be sure to block them on your credit card when you cancel to ensure you do not fall victim to what I went through. The classlessness is beyond me.

Fab facade by tons of bogus 5-star online reviews by shills & PR co., yet poorly trained/paid mgt/staff, hard cancellation, cameras in men's room, bad HVAC, crammed floor, broken equipment, weak steam room & $106/mo + mandatory pricey packages + political donations + hidden fees.

Spacious, clean. Great classes included in membership. Staff is rather aloof. Very rarely acknowledged by the front desk.

Best gym I've ever been to. Great facilities, locker room, classes, and staff. Top-notch all round with low lighting compared to other gyms, which really makes a difference. Great place!
Huge facility, very clean and well maintained. Wide variety of equipment, beautiful rooftop pool and bar, friendly and knowledgeable staff
This club is clean and well maintained. The staff is helpful and the clientele generally are respectful of each other. I appreciate the layout of the u st location better than the others as it helps improve the flow of people interested in specific workouts. Unfortunately with great amenities comes great cost, so expect to pay well over 100 a month in club dues as well as an annual fee to cover maintenance.
I love this gym; great classes, great equipment and ambience. The staff and management seem committed to constant improvement and attention to detail. When I start my company (not fitness related), I will use the Vida Fitness management model.
Great place to work out! Great class options, clean, friendly, fun!
I have been to this gym for 2 years now. The gym has lots of equipment to use, free weights and machine. The gym is kept clean, staff is friendly and the temperature seems to remain at a comfortable level. I did buy lessons from Mike a personal trainer and would recommend his services. The General Manager does a great job keeping the gym operational and clean for these reasons I will continue to use this gym.
Just moved to DC and contacted the gym at U Street to see about a membership. Unable to get a voice on the phone and when I asked about a pass to check out the facilities I was told I could buy one. The staff acted as if they were doing me a favor; can't stand the fake, bougie ambience.
