LA Fitness

‼️‼️‼️Warning: Think Twice Before Getting a Membership Here‼️‼️‼️ If you’re considering a membership at this gym (XSport Fitness, now managed by LA Fitness), please read this review carefully. When I joined 12 years ago, this place was well-maintained and enjoyable. Unfortunately, over the years, it has deteriorated to become one of the worst gyms in Northern Virginia. When LA Fitness took over, the front desk staff misled me, claiming the new management would invest heavily in renovations and improvements, promising a transformed gym in just a few months. On their word, I signed up for a 2 year membership, only to discover later that LA Fitness has a terrible reputation nationwide. Under XSport’s management, the gym wasn’t spotless, but at least the equipment was functional. Since LA Fitness took over, the gym has become much worse. Equipment remains broken for months without repair, and this isn’t just at one location, I’ve experienced the same neglect at their Fairfax, Merrifield, and Alexandria branches. The hot tub and pool have been closed indefinitely, and the bathrooms and steam rooms are consistently filthy. Adding to the frustration, the gym is no longer open 24/7. The current hours are inconvenient and impractical, especially for people who work non-traditional schedules. It’s disappointing to see a place that once had potential fall into such disrepair and mismanagement. If you value clean facilities, well-maintained equipment, and transparency from gym management, I strongly advise against getting a membership here. There are better options in the area that will respect your time and money.

Only reason I’m giving it a one star because I have I too this gym is horrible only reason I go to it because it’s close to my house. Everything is broken sauna has been broken for a year now, basketballs are not even basketballs, rims are broken they got duct tape and wires all around the gym, water fountain is broken. Only good thing about this gym was it was open 24/7 but that’s changed too now. Only thing that can help this gym is if it gets permanently shut down also the management is horrible definitely seem uneducated or they couldn’t get any other job so they had to get this one due the lack of their skills in any kind of work. The picture below it’s been like this for months now

Getting worse by the day. This place is like a Petrie dish. Old machines that barely work, have parts missing on almost each one. The treadmills are usually half broken. The water fountain is usually overflowing. The TV’s are never on. The air conditioning stopped working several years ago and they never bothered to fix it. The swimming pool is filthy. They recently removed the paper towels and disinfectant and replaced it with tiny towelettes that are horrible.

Equipments mostly sucks, climbing wall has major life threatening issues, they don’t have proper basketball equipment, massage seats don’t work, overcrowded, AND MORE!! I was hoping things would change after the XSports has been acquired by LAFitness but I was wrong. However, this is what you get for the price so..

The pool, sauna and steam room has been closed for almost 6 months. The bathroom is dirty with trash bins overflown most of the time. The refreshment freezer is always empty. Few cardio machines are always going through maintenance. Feels like for $40 a month, the services and facilities are terrible. I thought with the LA Fitness takeover, this Xsport location would have improved. It's even worse now.
