Best Gym near Herndon, Virginia

Worldgate Athletic Club offers a great variety of machines and classes, and I really appreciate how clean they keep the gym. There's always someone around making sure the space is spotless, which is a big plus. My only complaint is that I wish members were more mindful about putting back their weights, and some of the machines could use an update. Overall, I recommend this gym for anyone looking for a clean and well-maintained facility with plenty of workout options.

This is my experience as a person who cares about tennis and accessibility of tennis courts, Jan 2025. I signed up on their deal for $119 year round for two people mainly for the tennis courts. Even with a membership there is a $25/hr fee 9-4 pm then $34 from 4pm after. With a second tier membership for tennis where you pay $130 a month to get $10 off per hour for court reservations. All this while kind of annoying not too much of an issue. But let's say you and a buddy wanna go but your buddy doesn't have a membership well then they have to pay $15 just to come in and play for a maximum of 2 hours since that's all they allow you to reserve. So if you play 2 hours you'll pay the $25/$34 an hour fee then have to pay $15 for each person who isn't a member joining you. With a regular membership you're allowed a 24 hr window to book so if it's today is Friday I can ONLY book for Saturday. Unless I pay them that $130 a month then I can book a Wednesday session on that Friday instead. Me personally I couldn't stand for this and had to cancel because it's just kind of ridiculous. Everything else about them is subpar. Lockers require you buying your own lock unlike LifeTime. Some showers have shampoo conditioner and body wash and others just have body wash and conditioner. They have a weird robot distribution for towels but if you're done you have to leave the changing room to put it away there isn't a bin for used towels IN the changing room. Just spend the extra money on LifeTime because at least they give you a crazy price but include everything not require you to pay for each extra thing you want like classes.

Really disappointed with this gym the past couple months! It was so great when I started but the cleanliness and amenities have gone down hill. The steam room in the men’s room has been malfunctioning for over a month. I have asked the front desk if they are aware and the employee said they’ve had multiple complaints… no results. Still the steam room barely feels the temperature of a warm shower. The hot tub has brown scum on top so bad that other members have said that they completely avoid it. I know that it’s unreasonable to police every member that leaves behind their hair all over the sinks but something needs to be done about the overall cleanliness of the locker rooms (lockers dusty/dirty, sinks have hair clogging drain, and hair all over the sinks) Please fix and we’ll be happy!

World Gate has been my main gym for at least 3 years now. It's not the cheapest gym I could go to but for all the facilities and options offered plus the proximity to me, I cannot find another. The membership price is reasonable considering all of the facilities. However, it's not reasonable if you don't use all the facilities! Sometimes, I feel like I'm paying for some stuff I'm never interested in using - like the racketball rooms, the spa, yoga classes, dance classes, etc. There's another gym that's like 2 minutes away from me and costs like 50% of World Gate but they don't have a sauna which is essential to me. The facilities that I use regularly are the weight room, the sauna, and showers. I do like having the ability to swim sometimes if I want to. World Gate has a lot of options. I don't enjoy the price I'm paying but I also do not see another gym with all my non-essentials at a better price so I continue to go here. What's missing though is the actual cold plunges - not cryotherapy chairs. If they can manage that, I'd not be complaining about my membership price. I'd have everything I need.

World Gate Athletic Club is a great place and offers a lot more than just a regular gym. The price is very cheap for how much you as a member actually get. They also keep it nice and clean which is a great plus.

Excellent gym, the owners are constantly looking how they can improve the place through desired equipment, community building and other aspects. Great place to get strong, has barbells dumbbells and a lot of fun machines. This is a gym if you want to get your squat bench and deadlift up to some solid numbers, or just want to pack on some muscle, hells yeah dudes rock

REPFIT is honestly the best gym in the Reston and Herndon area. Rony and Jen the owners are amazing people and the gym has a nice family setting. There is a nice selection of machines, free weights, squat racks and cardio machines to get a great workout. The gym puppy is always a plus. Overall a great gym and atmosphere.

Best gym in the area! Everyone makes you feel welcoming, and are always there to help if you have any questions regarding on how to use a machine. Highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for an environment were you aren’t just a “member” but a part of a family!

Great gym. Rony is the best!! So glad I canceled my other expensive gym memberships and switched to this very affordable and high quality gym. Always involved in the community and inspire greatness and consistency! Trainers are kind and compassionate people and I couldn’t ask for anything better. 💯💯

Amazing gym! Machines are always open (have never had to wait for a machine). Staff is very accommodating and are always in good spirits. Love this gym!

I had stopped going to gyms in the area for a little over year since many of them started letting men come into the women's locker rooms, where women and girls were undressing, because they claimed to be women. Lost all my gains and got fat. Well, I came upon Snap Fitness. They don't have showers or locker rooms here but I wouldn't change it for the world. This means I no longer have to worry about being seen undressed by creepy, greasy men in the locker room. I was like a kid in the candy store the first day I came in to work out. I feel safe again. Love the equipment here. People are cool. And the staff are welcoming.

Amazing gym! Top notch equipment, incredibly friendly staff, and owners who really care about your fitness and enjoyment of the facility. I used to belong to a large chain gym, but switched to Snap Fitness at Franklin Farm when I discovered they have all the machines I need. Just love it there, and appreciate how hard the owners work to create an outstanding place to work out. When you see an owner walking around keeping things clean and making sure equipment is working as expected, you know they care about the place--and it shows! Plus effective trainers who know how to help you improve, but in a supportive environment that keeps you coming back for more. Check it out, you'll be glad you did!

I came home from school for a month this winter. Lifting weights and fitness is one of the things that I look forward to during the week so I knew I had to find a gym for a month coming home. Most places in Northern Virginia want you to sign up and lock into long contracts. Snap Fitness was month to month and allowed me to workout while I was home without a long contract. The staff including Nelson, Joe and the owner Sean were all super helpful and supportive. I was able to walk in, sign up, and start lifting the very first day. They also gave me all the information before I got into town. The equipment is all well taken care of and patrons put away their weights and respect others. Most of the time I was working out there were just a few others in there with me. Snap Fitness had all the equipment I needed to complete my workouts. There are also multiple sanitation areas and everyone practiced proper hygiene there. I definitely recommend snap fitness if you are looking for a gym in your area.

The owner is a true professional, this is the place to be if you want to be valued.

The facility and staff are pretty good, but the customer interactions needs improvement, especially during a pandemic. The equipment inside the gym has a lot of machines and some free weights, including 2 power racks. This usually is good enough given that it's a relatively small gym, but it would be much better if a third power rack or a deadlifting platform was added (I think this could be done with some slight rearranging). Of course, this isn't a major issue, but there have been quite a few times where I've come to work out but none of the power racks were available. There have been a few times where I waited up to 30 minutes for them to open up, so it would be helpful if a third station was opened up. Other than the power racks, the other machines are all usually available. The staff are pretty nice; the personal trainers were friendly and gave me some good tips. I had some sessions with Jon, and he helped me work on my form for deadlifting and squatting. However, I would note that one of the staff members (I don't know his name) seems to not really care about safety during a pandemic, even though the gym claims that their "priority is safety for all our members and staff." I usually stay away from him, but I often see him walking around without a mask on (even though the gym says "masks are required for staff") and he seems pretty nonchalant about getting within 6 feet of people and even making physical contact with them. This staff member's carefree attitude towards the pandemic made me feel a bit wary of the gym and whether or not they actually took actions to prevent the spread of COVID (for example, they said they implemented hourly cleaning of all equipment, but I have yet to see any staff member ever wiping down equipment). The only area that is a bit lacking in my opinion is customer interactions. Previously, this didn't really matter to me because I never had to actually call the gym, but during the COVID pandemic, I prefer to call the gym and check how many people are inside so that I can avoid going when it's crowded (my personal threshold is 2-3 other people since the gym is pretty small). However, about 50% of the times that I call, no one picks up, and I end up having to go in-person and check myself, and a good percentage of the times that I go in-person, there are too many people inside already and I end up just leaving. Every time this happens, it's essentially a waste of my time and my gas money. Though I admit that it could be my fault for not wanting to work out when there's too many people inside, I'll still prefer to not take the risk of being infected. I often try to go around 12PM - 4PM, and that's when I call the gym. The sign on the door says that someone should be in the gym's office from 9AM - 7PM or something like that, and I just noticed that the gym's website says that no one will be inside between 1PM and 3PM. In my opinion, (a) this change in office hours should be noted on the gym's actual sign, and (b) the times that no one is inside should be more consistent with 1PM to 3PM. I've called as early as 12:30 and as late as 3:30 and not gotten a response, so it would be nice if they could stay in-line with the 1-3 PM. I really like this gym because it's not too far from where I live and the facilities and staff are pretty good, but these past few months have been a bit frustrating for me because of how the gym chooses to handle the pandemic. My main issues right now are with not being able to contact the gym consistently and some of the staff not seeming to care about the pandemic, though I do point out that these are pandemic-specific problems, so my current review and rating is based my experiences during this time. My rating would be higher if there wasn't a pandemic happening.
