Gold's Gym

They've moved recently to 13653 Lee Jackson Memorial Hwy, Chantilly, VA 20151. More crowded now, seems smaller and no natural lighting.

They participate in the Silver Sneakers program, which reduces my cost to zero due to my Medicare supplemental plan.

This Gold's Gym is one that solves all of the issues that I have ever had with previous gyms that I have belonged to. It has every machine—and plenty of amenities—that I could ever want, and it is a well-maintained, well staffed place to work out.

First of all, the staff at this gym is great. At other gyms, staff members seem unfocused and less than professional. The staff here is attentive and they always look busy doing the things that you might expect them to do. They are easy to talk to if there are ever any questions or issues, and it is clear that the management is great as well. The manager of the gym is always around and has a very pleasant demeanor. This location definitely delivers on a good customer experience.

The gym itself has all of the machines and equipment that I like to use in a decent quantity. The locker rooms are adequate, clean, and safe. The classes (instructors especially) are awesome, and the cardio theater is a really cool way to unwind, watch a movie, and get some quality cardio in.

I've been a member for about a year, and any issues I have seen with the gym or any of the equipment was remedied quickly. There are the occasional issues with small things, but the overall workout experience allows me to look past any superficial or temporary flaws.
