Best Gyms with Free Parking near Arlington, Virginia

This review is really 3.5 stars. I've been an on and off member of this location (last attended Vida regularly in 2023/started back up this Jan 2025) and the overall upkeep of the gym has gone done a bit. With a monthly membership upwards of $120+ there shouldn't be 5-6 broken treadmills. I've gone to the gym during peak hours and non-peak hours throughout the week and people are waiting for equipment to free up, so they can do some level of cardio. Depending on the timeliness of repairs, I'll gladly edit my review. Vida Fitness-Ballston is a great gym, just was disappointed to see the overall quality of it go down since coming back... The recent reviews of the Steam/Sauna are a little fabricated, because they do feel clean. The cleaning staff does a great job and they definitely deserve the shout out for all that they do.

This gym and it's staff are absolutely top notch. I have been a long time member of VIDA and have been to various locations over the years. The Ballston location is hands-down the best. The facilities are always super clean, the staff is so kind and helpful (shout out to Isaac being the GOAT), the selection of equipment is vast, the restorative spaces of the spa & saunas are spotless and always smell nice, and the entire gym's layout makes sense with room to spare. Thanks again for all that you guys do!

I like this gym. Been going for 2 years. I do wish the steam room was cleaned more often. Update: I steam room has only gotten worse, its almost never clean even though there is a sign that says its cleaned daily. Also, there is a new manager here and he only hits on the good looking women, including my wife. No one ever sees his speak to male guests and whenever there is a good looking girl working out, its guaranteed he will mozey on over and start a conversation 10/10x. Like bro, this is not tinder… the steam room needs to be cleaned but this guy is thinking with his you know what. Pic of him in action today:

Vida Ballston is a beautiful and well outfitted gym and the employees have all a been very kind and helpful to me! Especially Isaac, my membership specialist, was extremely helpful for me in terms of navigating my new membership. A great gym and a great team!

Been a Vida member since 2018 and they've been nothing but spectacular. I've been a frequent member at every single location while moving around DC and now living in Arlington, I've been at the Ballston location for 2 years now. My trainer Jonas has helped me reach my fitness goals and then some! Front desk dude Sam is all smiles as you walk in and makes sure to have your smoothie ready when you're leaving. Gwen the Sweatbox instructor/manager has an AMAZING Sweatbox class and really motivates you to keep going. They also keep getting new equipment to keep it fresh! Loving everything about it!

Very supportive coaches. Nice environment. Good parking option.

Excellent gymnastics facilities with talented staff. The spectator gallery is clean and airy. There is an exercise/ weight room that can used (checkin at the front desk, probably a usage fee). Clean restrooms and locker room. Excellent outdoor facilities include sport park and tennis courts. Easy parking.

First off I love this gym for the facilities and the opportunity to have my kids do gymnastics. However the problem is they don't have enough staff to actually staff their classes. My child has been enrolled for two sessions totaling 12 classes and actually only attended three because they constantly cancel. In the last session the director told parents they fired a teacher (which is not entirely professional to share) and then canceled the final 4 classes. Then we did not get any priority to sign up again and had to wait through the whole process of sitting by the computer as soon as registration opens for the County. This session we were let me know last week a couple hours before class the class was canceled after planning our entire weekend around it. Then tonight we show up and there was a crazy storm had knocked out power and its canceled again- by no fault of theirs-but it's just frustrating to have this consistently happening.

There is a workout facility available with an inexpensive membership. The gymnasiums are for gymnastics. Arlington County offers classes for any age. There is a mezzanine from where classes can be observed. A great facility in a very nice park. Also, there is a nice playground. There is food available from a vending machine.

I like this place. The coaches for gymnastics are great, dedicated and supportive. This is a real gymnastics club so don't expect the usual tumble you get at other county provided gymnastics classes in the area.
