Onelife Fitness - Alexandria: Opinions

Fantastic experience: Love it here! I've spent several weeks in Alexandria for work over the last two years, and this has become my gym away from home. There are lots of squat racks and deadlift platforms, and great machines. Their short-term membership options are very convenient, and they've even customized a package that works for me and the duration of my stay - thank you Leland!
Hi Arielle, thank you so much for your kind words! We’re honored to be your “gym away from home” during your time in Alexandria. It’s great to hear you’re enjoying the squat racks, deadlift platforms, and machines — we know how important that is for a great workout. We’re also glad Leland could help customize a membership package that fits your stay perfectly. Thanks for being part of the Onelife family, and we look forward to welcoming you back anytime you’re in town!

Fantastic experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had such a great experience at Onelife Fitness, all thanks to Leland C., the General Manager! He was extremely nice, welcoming, and went above and beyond to be helpful. You can really tell he cares about both the members and the gym itself. It's rare to meet someone in management who's so approachable and genuinely wants to make your experience a positive one. Big thanks to Leland for making my visit so smooth—I’ll definitely be coming back!
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words and 5 stars, LIL-MIT! We’re lucky to have leaders like Leland who truly care about our members and go the extra mile. We’ll be sure to pass your message along it’ll mean a lot to him. Can’t wait to welcome you back to Onelife Fitness!
Fantastic experience: Great gym. Love the gym location, staff, and most of the members are really nice.
Thanks, Matthew! We’re happy you love the location, staff, and community. We appreciate having you with us at Onelife!
Fantastic experience: I want to give a huge thank you to the cleaning team at One Life Fitness. The gym is always extremely sanitary and spotless, which makes every visit a great experience. The women’s bathrooms are consistently impeccable, and it clearly shows the effort and dedication the team puts into their work. The morning staff, in particular, are very kind, professional, and attentive—they always ensure everything feels fresh and pleasant. Their hard work truly makes a difference and creates an environment where members feel comfortable and valued. Thank you for always going above and beyond!
Thank you so much, Nury! We really appreciate you recognizing our cleaning team and morning staff. Their hard work and dedication make all the difference in keeping Onelife a clean, welcoming place for everyone. We’re grateful to have members like you who notice and appreciate their efforts!
Fantastic experience: What a blessing it is to have coach Ronny and coach Allen! Since 2022 I've competed six times with no coaches due to the many gyms/clubs focusing on cardio fitness and monthly tuitions. Finally, there's an affordable, reliable, fun, and dedicated group of people willing to help people like me follow their passion in combat sports. Although old for the sport, I am learning so much and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to train and be apart of such a great program. Strike Studio is the future of combat training.
Thank you so much, GitaMarie! We’re honored to be part of your journey and proud to have coaches like Ronny and Allen supporting passionate athletes like you. Age is just a number your dedication is inspiring! We’re excited to keep helping you grow in the Strike Studio community.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of this gym for a couple of years now, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. The front desk staff is always so kind and helpful, greeting you with a smile and making sure you have everything you need. I’ve seen them handle difficult situations with professionalism and patience, which really speaks to the quality of the staff and the gym as a whole. The community here is fantastic—everyone is welcoming, whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned gym-goer. It’s a great environment to work out in, and I always feel motivated when I’m here. Overall, I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a great place to get fit and be part of a supportive community!
Thank you so much, Antoinette! We’re thrilled to hear that our front desk team and overall community have made your experience so positive. Creating a welcoming and supportive environment is very important to us, and it’s wonderful to know you feel motivated every time you visit. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to continuing to support you on your fitness journey!
Fantastic experience: Clean facilities, neatly placed equipment and super friendly staff !
Thank you for your 5-star review, Noah! We're happy to hear you appreciate the clean facilities, neatly placed equipment, and our super friendly staff at Onelife Fitness Alexandria.
Positive experience: Yet another gym that blasts Drake 24/7
Thank you for your review, Edward. We apologize for the music selection and will address this with our team to provide a more varied playlist.
Positive experience: I wanted to make this location my home after having a bad experience at the Skyline location, but unfortunately, that won’t be the case. Overall, the gym itself is great—the facilities and equipment are well-maintained. However, the front desk staff consistently come across as unfriendly. There’s no greeting when you arrive or acknowledgment when you leave, which may seem small but makes a big difference. As a paying customer, I want to feel welcomed where I choose to spend my money. After a particularly negative encounter with one staff member, I reported the issue to management and was assured it would be addressed. Unfortunately, when I returned, I experienced the same treatment. Because of this, I’ve decided this will be my last month as a member, and I’ll be giving Gold’s Gym a try instead.
Thank you for your review, LaDreeya. We apologize for the unfriendly experience with our front desk staff and understand your decision. We'll address your concerns with our management team to improve our service.
Positive experience: Adao was very attentive and listened carefully, to be more aware in helping assess my health & exercise needs. i enjoyed my session with him
Thank you for your review, Silvia! We're happy to hear that Adao was attentive and helpful in assessing your health and exercise needs at Onelife Fitness Alexandria.
Fantastic experience: Amazing staff!
Thank you for your 5-star review, Jack! We're happy to hear you find our staff amazing at Onelife Fitness Alexandria.
Fantastic experience: Great Gym and location is perfectly near my house. Super clean and friendly staff. Happy with the renovations but I wish they had a steam room. The sauna is always HOT but crowded on a busy day. Love the boxing classes with Damian! Glad they have a separate area just for the Strike Studio and it’s so much bigger than the other studio locations. Plenty of equipment and I like openness of the gym.
Hi Natasha, thank you for the great review! We’re so glad to hear you’re enjoying the gym, the convenience of the location, and the updates from our recent renovations. We appreciate your feedback about the steam room and sauna we’ll definitely keep that in mind as we continue to improve. It’s awesome to hear you're loving Damian’s boxing classes and the Strike Studio setup we agree, the space makes a big difference! Thanks again for being part of our community. We’re lucky to have you with us!
Fantastic experience: A gym that is clean, crisp, and offers a variety of equipment to work out on. You can have your own space and not worry about getting in the way of others while they work out. Five Stars and get a membership if you find the time.
Thank you for your 5-star review, Joseph! We're happy to hear that you appreciate the clean environment and variety of equipment at Onelife Fitness Alexandria.

Fantastic experience: Working out at OneLife Alexandria is great! There is a lot of equipment and everything is well-maintained.

Fantastic experience: 10/10
Hi Garrett,
Thank you for the 5-stars!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Fantastic experience: I've been a member of this gym for over five years, and I can confidently say it's the best gym I've ever joined. The facility is always clean, modern, and well-maintained, thanks to the incredible leadership of Leland and Clayton. They are truly exceptional managers—always attentive to members' feedback and committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment. Beyond the fantastic management, the training staff is equally outstanding. My son has been working with the best personal trainer, Luke, and the results speak for themselves. In less than a year, Luke has helped him achieve his fitness goals—building muscle, improving agility, and increasing endurance. His hard work paid off when, as a freshman, he earned a spot on the varsity soccer team! I can't stress enough how excellent the staff at this gym are. Their dedication, professionalism, and genuine care for their members make all the difference. If you're looking for a gym that prioritizes both fitness and community, this is the place to be.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic staff and overall great experience. Will be coming back!
Thank you for your 5-star review, Brooke! We're happy to hear you had a great experience with our fantastic staff at Onelife Fitness Alexandria. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Fantastic experience: The women’s bathroom is always spotless clean in the mornings through the afternoon. Always smells amazing and fresh
Fantastic experience: Great gym! Super helpful and kind service.
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! The general manager was very kind, helpful, and set me up. Would highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I love the variety of classes. Ny personal trainer Kevin is awesome. He knows his stuff.
Fantastic experience: I come during the mornings and what I love most about this location is the cleanliness. The locker rooms and bathrooms are kept clean
Positive experience: Edit: This gym has made improvements to facilities and machine upkeep. Overall it’s a great value for what you’re paying. The only feedback is to continue improving on paper towels + cleaning solution . And thanks for listening and actioning customer feedback
Hello Em,
Our Club Manager has been made aware of your review and will be conducting a walk through to submit work orders for any machines that need fixed. We are sincerely sorry for your recent experience and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. If you have any further feedback that needs to be addressed, please email our Club Manager at [email protected].
Fantastic experience: Solid gym with good machines and access to weights off-peak times. Love the knowledgeable and helpful trainers (shoutout Jalen and Q), friendly front desk folks, and boxing studio coaches I’ve worked with (Damian, Blue, Marcus, Alan, and Ronnie)! I’ve been wanting to get into boxing for years and finally found a community with this gym.
Thank you for your 5-star review, Reni! We're happy to hear you enjoy the gym, trainers, and boxing studio at Onelife Fitness Alexandria. Thank you for being part of our community!
Fantastic experience: If you’re in the market for a basic commercial gym with a nice variety in equipment, trainers, and classes this one is definitely worth checking out. They stay on top of keeping the place clean and fixing their machines quickly. Staff is friendly, but not up your ass. Biggest plus, I haven’t noticed a lot of extremes with personalities. I don’t know if other people care about that, but it drove my girl and I out of a couple other previous gyms with cheaper membership models. FYI: Crowds change depending on the time. My experience is with the midday crowd and my girl is part of the early morning crowd.
Thank you for your 5-star review, Daniel! We're happy to hear you appreciate the variety of equipment, trainers, and classes at Onelife Fitness Alexandria, and that you find our staff friendly and the environment welcoming. We appreciate you sharing your positive experience!
Fantastic experience: Great club, but better customer service! Bryanna at the front went above and beyond!
Thank you for your 5-star review, Josh! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the club and appreciate Bryanna's exceptional customer service!
Fantastic experience: Great place. Went it and spoke with the general manager who was super helpful and made me feel right at home. Would recommend to anyone.
Thank you for your 5-star review, Andrew! We're happy to hear you felt at home and found our general manager helpful at Onelife Fitness Alexandria. Thank you for your recommendation!
Fantastic experience: Been working out here for over a year, helped me reach a lot of my goals. Spacious gym, the equipment I need to use is usually open.
Thank you for your 5-star review, Siegz! We're happy to hear that Onelife Fitness Alexandria has helped you reach your goals and that you find the gym spacious with available equipment.
Positive experience: Didn’t like this location. I usually go to Madison st location but this time I decided to check this one out and it wasn’t good. A lot of equipment is old and the gym was open until 7pm while an employee shut off the lights at 6.57 and literally everyone was forced to leave. That’s not cool. Madison st location never does that they will let you finish your workout while they are working on closing the gym. And would never do that
We apologize for your experience, Nick. We appreciate your feedback on the equipment and closing procedures, and we'll address these concerns with our team to improve your experience.
Negative experience: Severely overcrowded at all times and impossible to find space to work out or get a machine. Also I’m not sure they ever clean as there are always giant balls of dust on the floor.

We apologize for your experience, Amanda. We appreciate your feedback. We understand that during certain hours the gym has a higher volume, however we hope you are still able to get a great workout in! If you have any additional questions or concerns, please speak with one of our managers. We're here to help!
Fantastic experience: Excellent experience I had at the Pike & Rose location. I loved the atmosphere, the staff was always very kind, and the facilities are in excellent condition.
Thank you for your 5-star review, Carla! We're happy to hear you loved the atmosphere and found the staff kind and facilities in excellent condition at Onelife Fitness Pike & Rose.
Fantastic experience: Love this gym
Hi Nahu,
Thank you for the 5-stars!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Fantastic experience: Great experience at onelife fitness!
Thank you for your 5-star review, Nick! We're happy to hear you had a great experience at Onelife Fitness Alexandria.
Positive experience: This gym is simply OK. The staff is nice and there is a lot of equipment, but it’s usually over crowded and pretty dirty and the cardio equipment is frequently broken. It gets the job done but I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here.
Fantastic experience: I ❤️ the classes at OneLife and the instructors are awesome. I wrote this for you — Why I Do Yoga (And Why You Might Want to Try It Too) The room is dark, warm, pulsing with the kind of music that makes you feel like you’re either about to ascend to enlightenment or collapse from dehydration. Sweat drips, muscles scream, and somewhere in the madness, the instructor whispers: Leave it on the mat. A noble idea. But easier said than done when your brain is a carnival of deadlines, regrets, and whatever hellish cosmic joke put you in this room at 6 AM. Still, I try. Because yoga isn’t just bending yourself into impossible shapes—it’s a fight. A battle against the noise. A way to lasso the chaos and hold it still, even if just for a moment. What Yoga Gives Me: Laser Focus – Ever tried standing on one leg while your hamstrings threaten to mutiny? There’s no room for thinking about taxes. Yoga forces you into the moment, or it drops you on your ass. Strength & Flexibility – Don’t be fooled by the slow pace. Yoga will break you down, stretch you out, and spit you back stronger. It’s the perfect antidote to too many hours hunched over a screen, plotting your next move. Stress Exorcism – The tension leaves, whether it wants to or not. Holding a stretch long enough makes it surrender. Same goes for whatever garbage is weighing on your mind. Mindset Reboot – Some days, I roll in feeling like a derailed train. By the end, I’m put back together—maybe not perfectly, but enough to keep going. If you need an escape, a recalibration, or just a solid excuse to breathe like a lunatic for an hour, yoga’s got you covered. Do you do yoga? What’s it done to your mind, your body, your sanity? Let’s hear it.
Thank you for your 5-star review, Raymond! We're happy to hear you love our classes and find the instructors awesome at Onelife Fitness Alexandria. Your reflection on yoga is inspiring and captures the essence of its benefits beautifully!
Fantastic experience: Great layout. Even when busy there's plenty of equipment to use. Clean, we'll maintained. And I good vibe. Have yet to try the strike classes but from what I can see it looks challenging and well organized.
Thank you for your 5-star review, Lawrence! We're happy to hear you appreciate our layout, equipment availability, and clean environment at Onelife Fitness Alexandria.
Fantastic experience: Been going here since 2017. Plenty of equipment/weights and room to use whatever you need. They upgrade the facilities and equipment fairly regularly and for the most part everything is kept pretty neat and orderly. If they run out of things like paper towels in the bathroom, as long as you alert the front staff it's taken care of pretty much immediately. The trainers there are great and really make you feel at home and welcome. 99% of my workouts are at 5am though and it's definitely a quieter vibe and much less busy than say 5pm. I've been here a handful of times with the after work crowd and it can definitely be a bit hectic. Probably comes with the territory in this market though. All in all I think this gym gives the best value for the money in the area.
Thank you for your 5-star review, Jon! We're happy to hear you appreciate our equipment, upgrades, and attentive staff at Onelife Fitness Alexandria!
Negative experience: I was informed that I would receive my first month free, but this was not the case. Instead, I have experienced ongoing difficulties in attempting to get a refund. The customer service has been extremely disappointing. Additionally, I was misled into signing up for the wrong gym location, and when I tried to switch to the correct one, they refused to honor the price difference. If this continues, I don’t see this franchise thriving for much longer. I hope you take my feedback into consideration and work to improve your services.
Fantastic experience: Great location
Thank you for your 5-star review, Rey!
Fantastic experience: Excellent facility and staff. Leland is amazing, Mia wonderful, Damian spectacular. Tatiana is magnificent!
Thank you for your 5-star review! We're happy to hear that you appreciate our excellent facility and staff, including Leland, Mia, Damian, and Tatiana at Onelife Fitness Alexandria.
Fantastic experience: They are so nice at front desk and very helpful.
Thank you for your 5-star review, Vanessa! We're happy to hear that our front desk team is nice and helpful at Onelife Fitness Alexandria.
Fantastic experience: Love this gym! Everyone on the staff is so nice
Thank you for your 5-star review, Jake! We're happy to hear you love our gym and appreciate our friendly staff.
Positive experience: Spacious clean gym with welcoming staff. Just wish they had more free group classes (boxing is almost daily but costs extra) late morning and at lunch time.
Hello Passionately! Thank you for the 4-stars! Our General Manager, would be happy to address your concerns further. You can drop in to see him at the club and/or email him at [email protected]
Fantastic experience: I love it this gym
Hello Tamana! Thank you for your 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear you love Onelife Fitness Alexandria. We look forward to seeing you at your next workout! Thank you for being a member of the Onelife Fitness community!
Fantastic experience: Great experience working out at onelife fitness Alexandria. The amenities were exceptional, plenty of space and machines to make my workout quick and efficient. I recommend joining this gym if you live in the area for work or visiting. One last important detail is a worker named Clayton was very supportive everyday I attended this gym as I didn’t know if I wanted to come here at all, he deserves a raise!!
Fantastic experience: Great gym and super friendly staff! Has everything you need.
Positive experience: Recently moved out of VA but was a member of this gym for about a year. Pretty good gym with responsive staff in terms of questions regarding membership and fees. Free classes are nice, they do get crowded so get there early. Would suggest that anyone joining to thoroughly read all information, but I do appreciate Lisa specifically for assisting me throughout the process of transitioning out. In summary, no major complaints as a mid-20s gym user.
Negative experience: A bit disappointed. I drove 30 minutes out of the way to come here after speaking to a membership advisor. Asked a bunch of questions to make sure they’d have the equipment I need for Olympic lifting. They didn’t have women’s barbells and all the platforms face mirrors no matter which way you turned. A bit misleading and wish they would’ve double checked the questions I was asking. Front desk didn’t really seem to care about the inconvenience and no one was present until past 10am to help me in the office so I just left.
Hello Amanda, we apologize for the inconvenience and miscommunication. We are sorry that we didn't have the specific barbells you require for your training. Thank you for your feedback, and we will work on improving our communication and ensuring accurate information is provided to our members. Our Club Manager would be happy to speak with you directly, he can be reached at [email protected]!
Fantastic experience: The front desk staff member, John at OneLife Fitness Alexandria is truly outstanding! He consistently greets everyone with a warm, welcoming attitude and contagious smile, whether it’s 5 am or later in the afternoon. His positive energy and attentiveness to gym members is undeniable, ensuring that everyone feels valued and comfortable. John’s dedication and kind personality create an inviting atmosphere and strong community feel that keep my husband and I coming back to this particular gym, despite other gyms being closer to our home and more convenient. What a fantastic asset to the OneLife team!
Hello Sarah! Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with John at the front desk. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to him, as his dedication and welcoming attitude truly enhance our community atmosphere. We appreciate you and your husband choosing Onelife Fitness Alexandria, thank you for being loyal members!
Fantastic experience: Awesome facility and staff. Highly recommend!
Negative experience: Avoid this place at all costs. I have never seen such old and outdated equipment in a gym, especially one that claims to have been newly renovated. Lots of the machines' safety features are nonfunctioning, and are generally in rough shape, if they’re operational at all. The machines are also really dirty, probably due to the fact that this gym has no wet wipes, but instead has members spray down paper towels and wipe machines with that instead. That really doesn't do much to clean the machines, and just sprays chemicals around while everyone is breathing heavily. As others have mentioned, there aren't enough weights, and you constantly have to steal from other areas in the gym to be able to properly rack a set. That happens no matter what time you go in. You can probably get what you need done here, but you'll constantly have to rework your sets to accommodate the lack of weights or functioning equipment. Editing to add, in the 8+ months I’ve been a member, the state of the gym has only gotten worse. Machines are still old, faulty and dirty. The only update this place has gotten is a turf replacement after the shooting that happened. Don’t believe all the random 5 star reviews that came in to try and hide bad reviews filling the shooting on the gym floor. If you have any other option, take it, otherwise you will always leave here frustrated and disappointed.
Hello Stephen, Thank you for your review! We're sorry to hear that your experience has not always met your expectations! Your concerns have been noted and will be addressed immediately. We understand it can be frustrating to have equipment out of order however, at times it takes longer than anticipated due to having order parts. We have a high standard for cleanliness within our gyms and we will continue to train our team with an emphasis on this to improve our members' experience! Our General Manager, would be happy to connect with you to learn more about how we can improve your experience with us at a club level. Please don't hesitate to reach out directly at [email protected] - we're here to help. Thank you!
Negative experience: This gym has paid towel service but almost never has clean towels in the afternoon.
Positive experience: We are almost there. I see the changes. Some new equipment. Hopefully more dumbbells on the main floor. I have an idea for you guys. Just throwing it out there since there are ongoing Air Conditioning problems. Either buy some floor fans like the ones upstairs or buy the industrial A/C units that can be placed anywhere and moved around. Like most complaints, it's too damn hot on the main floor. 80 plus degrees inside a gym is diabolical behavior while trying to train.
Thank you for your review and suggestions. We apologize for the ongoing air conditioning issues and will discuss your feedback with our management team to improve the comfort of our facility. We’d love to assist you, but we weren’t able to locate your account. When you have a moment, please email us at [email protected] with your full name, member number, and a copy of your review. We’ll make sure the right team member follows up with you as soon as possible. Thanks again for bringing this to our attention!
Positive experience: Love the gym…nice & spacious. The customer service is not the best though. On their phones and not greeting the customer and turns their heads when I leave. They are selective about who they greet. Several (4) men at the counter and none of them say anything every time…I don’t feel welcomed at this location.
Hello Art, Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you love our spacious gym, but we're sorry to hear about your experience with our customer service. We'll address this with our team to ensure a more welcoming atmosphere for all members. Thank you for being part of the Onelife Fitness community!
Negative experience: Horrible gym. Please don’t waste your money and find a better gym. This gym is full of weird people, including the employees. Their customer service is horrible. The employees at the front desk never greet customers, and all they do is flirt with each other. Most of the equipments are broken, and they take forever to fix them. Also, not long ago, a shooting happened inside the gym and two people lost their lives as a result which makes the gym even more uncomfortable. I suggest to joint other gyms like lifetime or golds gym.
Negative experience: Yes there was a recent shooting; could the owner or its workers have controlled it? Probably not; but it’s quite disgusting there are comments that we should “deal with and accept it” and to also “never leave your house,” because believe me, as an introvert, I wish I never had too, as I’d rather spend time with my wife and dog; yet what makes it even worse, I have yet to see One-Life/US Fitness Holdings put out any type of follow-up in reference to anti-gun violence statements. Control what you can. However, this is not reason for my review. It’s to warn the current and potential members of this owner and this outdated disgusting gym, which in the recent months has seen its board of directors go out of their way to seek the service of AI to boost its ratings, most of these “5 star” ratings that you’ll see claiming “phenomenal customer service,” with “great, new equipment,” “very spacious,” and a “great place to get fit” It could not be more obvious these reviews were AI generated. What customer service? New equipment? And a great place to get fit? Really? It’s a gym, obviously people go to these types of establishments to get fit; and in regard to customer service - is it referring to the once a month “hello” that members get upon entering and checking in? Or is it when workers constantly (won’t even say consistently) because it’s a constant, fail to refill the spray bottles and paper towels to clean equipment Or is this great customer service when they let members save equipment for themselves from across the gym? Also, the “new” equipment? Most of the equipment would only be new if we all took a time machine back to 1990. The only truth is that this gym is spacious, however the placement of the machines has been done incorrectly and not only do you feel on top of people while working out, there’s a significant amount of wasted space, so yeah it’s definitely spacious and a whole fleet of buses could be parked in there. So, the shooting was the last straw for me, and it has been two months trying to cancel this membership. I am forwarded to a new person each time even though I have been emailing within the same email thread. First, a Leland, forwarded me to a Melissa, and in an email from Melissa, I was told that July would be my last payment. Then I was charged for August as well, so I reached back out to Melissa. This time, a Patricia emailed me back stating there was confusion, and per my signed membership agreement that I would be charged for August. I am paying a month to month membership, have given plenty of notice, and in a written email from member services associate, Melissa, told me the final payment would be July - so I requested a copy of this signed membership agreement. It has been 7business days since I last heard from a Patricia, a Melissa, or a Leland - so if any or all of you could email me back to clarify and get me a signed copy of this membership agreement that would be great. Thanks.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, clean club and plenty of equipment. Love it!!!
Hello Mark! Thank you for the positive feedback! We're thrilled to hear you enjoy our gym's clean facilities and wide variety of equipment! We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to our awesome team! We hope to see you again soon at Onelife Fitness Alexandria!
Fantastic experience: Great facility! Staff here are super friendly and welcoming!
Hello Gerald! Thank you for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoy our facility and the friendliness of our staff. We hope to see you at your next workout!
Fantastic experience: Great location with a ton of amenities! Staff is super supportive and genuinely cares about their members!
Negative experience: Use this location for convenience and good verity of equipment but gun shot was fired yesterday and was covered with police cars… yesterday, 6/29/24, may not be the safest location and will opt to use other locations.
Fantastic experience: The gym is great, but the staff make Onelife Alexandria stand out above the rest. Shoutout Leland and Xavier!
Hello Matt! Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you enjoy our gym and will definitely pass your shoutout to Leland and Xavier. We hope to see you at the club again soon!
Negative experience: ACTIVE SHOOTER: There was an active shooter in this gym 29 June around 4pm. I am triggered and traumatized. I will be cancelling my gym membership. This gym is not safe.
Fantastic experience: I am seeing a lot of negative reviews due to the shooting that happened and I am confused. In today’s world, can we really blame a business for some crazy individual deciding to commit a violent crime within the business grounds? This is happening everywhere, every day. It is not the business’ fault. It is a bigger issue and we cannot put the blame on Onelife. Unfortunately, this could have happened anywhere.
Fantastic experience: Great gym and staff work hard to make it a great place to work out. The Onelife team is always making improvements to this gym and I love all the open space. Best option in the area. I would recommend the plan that gives access to any Onelife location in the area, as it is very handy to have their huge network of local gyms as it makes it easy to work out after meetings around the city. Highly recommend Onelife, very happy member here!
Fantastic experience: Awesome location! The staff is friendly and the place has an awesome variety of equipment, even a boxing ring.
Hello Brett! Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you enjoy the variety of equipment and amenities we offer, including our boxing ring! We'll be sure to pass along your kind words about how friendly our wonderful staff is! Thank you!
Negative experience: It’s a great location and has good equipment but the locker rooms are in absolute dire need of renovation. There’s no ventilation so all the nice smells of a gym and bathroom are right front and center while you change and wash up and the lockers themselves are literally crumbling due to the excessive moisture cause of lack of ventilation overall this gym could be so much better if they just invested in the up keep of it
Hello! We are happy that you enjoy the Onelife Fitness Alexandria club with our wide vareity of equipment! We do appreciate you bringing the locker rooms to our attention, we have passed along your feedback to our Club Manager who will address the concerns as soon as possible! If you have any further concerns you would like to address or any suggestions it is always welcome at [email protected]!
Fantastic experience: The gym has everything I need, but I mostly appreciate the great customer service provided by staff members. The recent event that took place is unfortunate, but it is something that was not really within their control. Such things happen everyday, but how entities choose to handle matters is what counts most.
Negative experience: I cancelled my membership, not because I don’t feel safe at this gym. But because I can’t pretend there wasn’t a murder suicide in front of 60 ppl less than a week ago. I respect the staff and people who work there but not decision of Onelife to open so soon. Great gym, hope everyone is ok and take care.
Negative experience: I understand gym employees are worried that negative reviews are going to make the place look bad, but an active shooter at your location is pretty justified for your members to leave a bad review. Having OneLife staff members review bomb your Google reviews is kinda sad. Btw, there was black mold in the showers last time I was there before I cancelled my membership. Better than getting shot, I guess.
Fantastic experience: Onelife Alexandria has friendly staff, state of art equipment, and is in a central location in the City of Alexandria. I’d recommend this gym to friends or family.
Hello Sarah! We are thankful for your kind words about Onelife Alexandria! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience and appreciate your recommendation. We're delighted you enjoy your workouts with our state of the art equipment, we'll be sure to pass along your kind words to our team at Onelife Fitness Alexandria!
Fantastic experience: My wife and I were in town for a few days and found this gym through a search. Reached out to them ahead of time and I cannot express enough how accommodating they were to us. Very friendly and helpful from emails to in person. The gym itself had everything we needed and there's enough equipment to hit whatever you need. Their gym family was also friendly and had great gym etiquette (which you don't get at the big box gyms) - wiping down, reracking weights, etc. And their cooler drink selection was amazing too! Highly recommend this gym to locals and visitors.
Hello! Thank you for the glowing review and recommendation! We strive to create a welcoming environment for both locals and visitors, and we're delighted to hear you and your wife enjoyed your experience with us! We truly appreciate your acknowledgement of our gym family with their amazing etiquette! Thank you for being a part of the Onelife Fitness community, we hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going here for 5+ years and have only good things to say — the staff, trainers, and environment are supportive and they take the time to listen to member feedback, such as adding new equipment. Overall, the gym has transformed my fitness journey for the better. It feels like home. Edit: I’m genuinely a member. I rarely write reviews because, like most people, when things are working and good they don’t notice it and don’t feel compelled to go out of their way to even acknowledging it. It’s surprising to me, people are taking the time to throw accusations of others being employees or bots. Personally, I wanted to support the gym I go to daily for the last 5 years after a tragic event, because while I never took the time to say it before, I do truly appreciate the community the staff and other members foster there.
Fantastic experience: It's a great gym with excellent equipment, wonderful staff, and it's super convenient. I've been going to this gym for the last three years, and it has never let me down. It has everything you need to burn calories and become the best version of yourself.
Hello Derald! Thank you for sharing your positive experience! We're thrilled to hear that our gym has been consistently meeting your needs for the past three years. We are thrilled that you enjoy your fitness experience with us; our staff will definitely be happy to read what you wrote!
Fantastic experience: For the few who left negative reviews regarding the recent tragedy and think it is not safe, I suggest you never leave your house and definitely don't get into a car and drive anywhere, just stay home and hopefully no one will break into your house. For those few who don't understand why so many people recently posted excellent reviews, perhaps it is because so many of the patrons at this gym truly appreciate the staff and all that they do every day to try and make the gym experience a good one for all. By the way, that was NOT an active shooter incident, but a targeted attack by one individual on another that can happen ANYWHERE. What exactly would some of you have done to prevent such a tragedy if you were a staff member at OneLife? That's right...you could not have done a single thing to stop it. Shootings occur every day in the National Capital Region and they happen everywhere and unfortunately, very little can be done to stop them

Positive experience: Nice place
Hello Michael! Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled you enjoy our gym. If there is anything we can do to further improve your experience, please let us know! Our Managers are avaliable at the club and always able to talk to our members! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Large warehouse-style space with lots of equipment options and plenty of racks. It gets VERY crowded during peak hours and sometimes the equipment breaks/is out of order, but for the most part, everything works well and you're still able to get a workout in regardless of crowd. My only gripe is that there should be a v squat machine and more leg press machines. Another hip thrust machine would be amazing too.
Hello Jack!
We appreciate the 4-stars! We're happy you like the variety of equipment and fitness machine options! We understand that during peak hours the club is at higher volume, we always hope our members are able to fit in a great workout! We will take your feedback regarding the v-squat machine and additional leg press and hip thrust machines onsite at Onelife Fitness Alexandria! if you have any further suggestions or concerns you would like to address, please feel free to email out Club Manager at [email protected]. Thank you for being a Onelife Fitness member!
Negative experience: The "one time" a year maintenance fee is a joke...they say its to buy equipment etc etc...one Smith machine for the whole gym...try getting that anytime much less peak hours...there are far better gym choices in the DMV
Hello Barry, We apologize for an experience less than you expected! We're always open to constructive feedback to learn how we may improve. Our General Manager would appreciate speaking with you directly, please feel free to email him at [email protected] or you can stop in at the club to speak with him! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I am professional athlete and i love to train in this location. The staff is very nice and i really enjoy my training there. Thank you!
Hello Neli! WOW thank you for the 5-stars! We're so happy that you love to train and workout at Onelife Fitness Alexandria! We're so happy to read your incredible words about our great staff - we'll be sure to pass along the feedback! Thank you for being an awesome Onelife Fitness member!
Negative experience: I hate to sound cliche, but there is definitely a pre-COVID and post-COVID experience at OneLife, and it has significantly gone downhill since 2021. Pre 2020: The gym was very clean, spacious, an abundance of friendly staff members, so many fun group classes, etc. And there was a basketball court! I'm not sure why certain business decisions were made but at some point right before the pandemic, there was an atrocious decision to install a full-size boxing ring smack down in the middle of the gym, and that caused a rearrangement of the machines and things got so crowded. They scattered equipment everywhere and that was when things started to change around here. Post 2020: After about a year or maybe they got a lot of complaints, they decided to tear down the basketball court and replace that area with a boxing studio and some green turf that's adjacent to it. They also added more squat racks, barbell weights and benches. And while there is "more space," it seems more crowded than ever. After going through so many changes, the layout of this gym is awful and things don't seem to have a seamless flow. It's hard to get a decent workout in when there's limited amount of weights, or you have to walk around the entire gym to find something as simple as a barbell clamp! It's also extremely filthy and there doesn't appear to be an upkeep of maintaining equipment. Something is always either broken or making a loud, squeaky noise when you use it. They don't have wet wipes and you have to use a filthy spray bottle and some paper towels (as a germaphobe, touching a bottle that has been touched by hundreds of others during the day is just gross for me). Oh, and they're always out of paper towels. So basically, your only option is to just leave things sweaty and dirty. All in all, the maintenance and integrity of this gym has decreased and it's evident they are short staffed. I miss its glory days when I first joined several years ago, but unfortunately I can't keep up with this gym's decline. I'll likely have to part ways but I did have fun and had great workouts while the time lasted.
Hello Tiffany,Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. However, I'm unable to locate you as a Onelife Fitness - Alexandria member or guest. Our General Manager, Leland, would be happy to speak with you directly - you can reach him at [email protected]. Thank you and have a great day!
Positive experience: Great gym but all of their membership services is done remotely. Please alert members at 1 year and check in to let them know they’re membership is still active. Since I hadn’t used it in so long I didn’t remember if the membership deactivated on its own or if I had to cancel manually. So I was paying for over 6 months after thinking it was already deactivated. And the team would not reimburse me which was unfortunate.
Hello Andrea!We are glad you enjoyed the club! We apologize if any part of your membership agreement was confusing. Your feedback regarding the 1-year check in call has been noted and will be passed along for further review! Thank you!
Negative experience: Pros: Plethora of equipment options and workout areas; modern-looking facility; helpful staff; hot sauna; can generally find parking. Cons: Women’s locker room smells like mildew and black mold can be seen building up on A/C vents, blowing dirty air. You can smell it throughout the entire locker room, bathroom, shower, and sauna area. Stopped going for this reason. Not safe— please do something about it!
Hello! Thank you for your review. While we are very happy to read that you did enjoy the vareity of equipment options and our workout areas, along with our many amenities, and helpful staff; we are sorry to hear your experience did not always meet your expectations. Your concerns have been noted and will be addressed immediately. We have a high standard for cleanliness within our gyms and we will continue to train our team with an emphasis on this to improve our members' experience! Unfortunately with no way to contact you we can't address your review directly, we would appreciate the opportunity to connect, please don't hesitate to email our General Manager at [email protected]. Thank you.
Negative experience: Teach this location’s front desk team to accept payments for monthly membership via credit card. Other locations’ front desk teams know how to do it.
Hello Jeffrey, Thank you for bringing this to our attention - we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. We will look further into this matter with our Front Desk team - thank you!
Fantastic experience: For selfish reasons, please do not join this gym, or at least this location, as I would like it all to myself. Thank you
Hello Jacob, Thank you very much for the 5-stars! We are so happy that you love your workouts at Onelife Fitness Alexandria! We can't wait to see you again soon!
Negative experience: 1 star is too much for this club. It is very difficult to cancel membership. You cannot directly reach out to them. Their customer service,Management are really bad- they are not giving proper information. I was trying to cancel my membership since November. I am pregnant and cannot go to gym+ we moved to different city. I even sent my pregnancy doc - they did not accept. Asked alternative doc - no response. I definetly not recommend anyone.
Hello Funda, We apologize for any confusion during your cancellation process - we're sorry to see you go! Upon investigation it looks like you requested a membership freeze in November which we processed. When you requested a cancellation in January we stated the necessary documents needed in order to end your Membership agreement prior to the 12-month term. We were transparent on what the doctors note needed to state. When you requested the cancellation due to relocation we informed you to please attach an accepted document as proof, once your document was received we followed all procedures promptly to cancel your membership. If you have any further concerns or questions regarding the membership agreement please reach out to our membership services department at [email protected] - we're here to help. Thank you!
Negative experience: Good facility, but as one of the prior reviewers stated, there aren't enough machines and dumbbells to compensate for the crowd at peak hours. The frustrating part is that the staff does little to help. No one is monitoring the floor. So, people hog weights and machines, don't rerack weights, and you end up wasting time either looking for a set of 10 lb. dumbbells that could be anywhere on the floor (and are ultimately being hogged by the member with three sets of dumbbells around them) or waiting for a machine because the person on their phone that's just sitting on the machine waiting to do their next set doesn't understand the concept of allowing someone else to work in and wants you to wait for them to complete their full set of exercises even though they're giggling at a TikTok between sets. It can be a very frustrating experience. Oh, and there is only one piece of equipment on the entire floor for calves. So, good luck getting calves done as a part of leg day. 11/22 - got a response from someone at the gym to connect via email from which the respondent noted they’d be adding more light weights and another leg machine. Well… no progress today. I spend more time looking for dumbbells under 35lbs than getting sets done. They need to purchase a full rack of light weights. More people use the lower weight dumbbells. They need more. Even during light traffic hours it’s a challenge. We pay a membership to workout, not to do a treasure hunt for weights. As an aside they were having weight done in the foyer a few weeks ago and propped the door open with a 90 lb. dumbbell… and it’s still propping the door open. No one missed it because we are all looking for light weights!
Hello James,Thank you for your review! We're sorry to hear that your experience has not always met your expectations! Your concerns have been noted and will be addressed immediately. We do hope that despite the crowd during peak hours you are still able to get a great workout in! Our General Manager, would be happy to connect with you to learn more about how we can improve your experience with us at a club level. Please don't hesitate to reach out directly at [email protected] - we're here to help. Thank you for being a Onelife Fitness member!
Fantastic experience: Very clean. Front desk staff very helpful and knowledgeable.
Fantastic experience: If you are new to this gym, make sure to try Elissa's bodypump class. She is absolutely the best.
Hello RHT! Thanks for leaving us such a wonderful review! We are thrilled that you loved your experience; our staff will definitely be happy to read what you wrote! We're delighted to see how much you have enjoyed your Bodypump Class with Elissa - we'll be sure to pass along the feedback! It makes our day reading about your awesome progress! Our mission is to deliver the ultimate fitness experience to every member, every time and your review reaffirms the hard work we put in every day at Onelife Fitness - Alexandria!. Thanks for your kind words and we look forward to seeing you at the club soon!
Negative experience: Horrible horrible gym. Do not go here. They were only supposed to charge my credit card for 3 payments of $600 they proceeded to charge me 6 times total. I had to file fraud charges against this business. Do not patronize this place. I was told the GM was on medical leave and the guy Damien never got the district or regional manager to contact me like I asked.
Negative experience: Once you are a member they will give you trouble to leave. The owners lack empathy and only care about the money. Worst gym in the DMV area when it comes to costumer service.
