YMCA Fairfax County Reston

Fantastic experience: I spoke a front desk staff, I miss her name, a very polite and professional front desk assistant, 03/19 at around 3pm, She took her time to explain my enrollment options, the services within and was almost certainly going to give me a tour before I explain I would have to come back. I will definitely enroll. Tony.

Fantastic experience: This gym is great for families. The group exercise schedule is diverse, and I have had many good instructors. The front office staff is friendly and helpful. If you are single, and looking to meet people to date, this is probably not the gym for you. But if you want to work out in a comfortable atmosphere, with people of varying fitness levels, and expose your children to coaches and staff who truly like working with kids, then this is your gym. (member since 2008)

Fantastic experience: It's an all around good gym with state of the art workout equipment and a nice pool. The court is also well maintained just make sure you check the gym schedule before you go.

Fantastic experience: Terri Timanus has been wonderful in keeping up active thru water aerobics since the pool reopened. I’m grateful

Fantastic experience: My favorite, friendly, inclusive gym! I've been a member for 20 years and appreciate the Y's mission, outstanding group classes, and first class facility. Favorite's are Lisa's 9:00 Saturday Kickboxing class and mornings at 6:15!

Fantastic experience: Great facility

Fantastic experience: I come here all the time and I love it!

Fantastic experience: Have been a member since it first opened. I particularly enjoy the water aerobics classes. Over the many years, I’ve had many instructors. One of my favorites is Terri. Love her rock and roll music. She makes the classes fun and is reliable. Right now she is teaching all of the classes except 1. We need more instructors and weekend classes.

Fantastic experience: I have had excellent experiences at this Y. The water aerobics for people with arthritis is excellent. Terri is the teacher who brings her own music and designs the best set of water set of exercises for people like me. She is warm and friendly. I recommend anyone who needs to build core muscles but have chronic pain to try the water aerobics classes with Terri at the Reston Y. And I must also gives a hats off to the great life guards!! They watch over us, and help me get my cane after class. They open doors when I am moving slowly and have the best attitudes. I leave the Y with a big smile due to being with such good people!!

Fantastic experience: Big fan of the water aerobics program. Safety and hygiene protocols during Covid were excellent. Terri is a super instructor. Jodi is great as well. Just wish they offered more classes now that enrollment has increased.

Fantastic experience: 5 stars for Terri & the water aerobics classes. I returned to the Y after my retirement for the Water aerobics. Terri is an awesome instructor. My strength & stamina have improved greatly. I can now pick up & carry my 30lb granddaughter!! I really feel so much better after class!! I do wish there were more morning classes. Sometimes it's hard to switch gears in the middle of the day to get to class.

Fantastic experience: After a 2 year hiatus, I re-joined the Y in February 2022. I'm so glad I did. I'm thrilled with the new group exercise classes being offered for all levels and led by AWESOME instructors (David, Sean, Mimi, Lisa, Sarah to name a few) under the guidance of Melinda who brings passion for teaching the classes she leads. I love the fact that the instructors provide an atmosphere of encouragement and guidance to motivate us to enhance our wellbeing and that's huge to me. Also, I'd be remiss to not mention Vince at the front desk, who cheerfully welcomes every member by name that walks in. Thank you for all you do!

Fantastic experience: Staff is great and the community is great. Would appreciate later hours on Friday though

Fantastic experience: Yeah nice people and facility

Fantastic experience: I come here all the time when I’m in town, love it! Plenty of excellent equipment, not too busy, and the pool is great.

Fantastic experience: Clean facility and LOVE their mask policy! Child watch is amazing for the parents with little ones. HIGHLY recommended!

Fantastic experience: I just want to say how clean and safe the Y is since we have reopened, all members and staff are vigilant about wearing masks, cleaning the facility, and even checking temperature before anyone comes into the facility. Definitely worth checking out if you are looking for a clean and safe place to workout, swim during the pandemic.

Fantastic experience: Good Place to Workout

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and lots of equipment! A great workout every day.

Fantastic experience: I’ve used YMCAs all over the northeast and this one is exceptional. Friendly staff, excellent selection of equipment, very clean, etc. Couldn’t ask for more except perhaps additional parking. Child watch is awesome!

Fantastic experience: Have been coming for years. I like the mission and sense of community, the windows from the class studios and the pool are great, and I have found some great trainers that keep me coming. Lots of people remain members for many years.

Fantastic experience: Great weight set up for leg work and an army of cardio equipment. Track is a bit small. Great staff and really clean

Fantastic experience: Update: free weights area got a big renovation. Plenty of racks now, but could still use more space in the dumbbells area as it is hard to find a spot there. One of the best gyms that I have been to with the renovation complete. Improper allocation of resources and space. First, the free weight area is much too small compared to the cardio/machines. There's only two bench press stations and two squat racks, one of which has to share use as a deadlift station. To make matters worse, the squat racks are home to the only pull up bars in the facility, making a long wait for the squat racks. Instead of having 200+ unused machines, they should have two more squat racks that actually see use. Second, yes they just renovated, but it appears the free weight area got no attention. The dumbbells area smells like hamster feces. The dumbbell handles are so small I cannot fit my hands properly in them. The benches are so low it is uncomfortable to squat down that far with a heavy load. They are also wobbly and dangerous to lift on. The track is so small you can barely take a single stride without having to turn. This increases the likelihood of shin splints and other inbalances. +1 star for being half the price of lifetime and having a sauna.

Fantastic experience: Love this Y! Everyone is so friendly and the recently renovated facilities are top notch.

Fantastic experience: Better than I expected. Typically used to better accommodations while traveling and I just loved the facility!

Fantastic experience: Very good

Fantastic experience: Great place. Love it

Fantastic experience: I travel quite a bit for business and love the YMCA brand in general but I really enjoyed the gym and the staff of this Y, I usually in Canada pay extra for the "PLUS" section with free towels steam and razors etc- This Y has a fantastic locker room- must have been newly renovated. I want to make special mention and thanks to Paul Raker membership Dir for welcoming me well at least on FB. Great gym

Fantastic experience: Jarrel and Brooke at the front desk went above and beyond to help, very kind

Fantastic experience: Great place for the family to grow and develop. Even better partner with the community in northern Virginia.

Fantastic experience: I was a CIT at the summer camp program and it was very fun. The people are all really nice and I hope to go back next year. I definitely recommend for you to enroll your kids in summer camp here.

Fantastic experience: YMCA workers are very kind and helpful. Especially my son loves to go there to play basketball after lifting

Fantastic experience: Friendly, and affordable for retirees and others.

Fantastic experience: I am a member of this Y and also use other Y's when I travel which is a nice benefit. The facility is nice but if you are looking for ultra fancy you won't find it here, it's a Y. There is a ton of cardio, weights, machines, free fitness classes, a great pool, sauna and steam room and you can also get a massage. The hours are good too. Recommended!

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a good neighborhood gym with essentials, kids programs, classes and swimming, THIS IS IT! The essentials, with super-friendly staff. Our family loves the Reston Y!!

Fantastic experience: Good Gym. Their Staff is very good & friendly. Good Workout equipments, pools, Basket Ball Court & Kids Care
