The Women’s Club

I love love love The Women’s Club and am so grateful to have found it when I moved to the area.
The club is always spotless, the price is extremely reasonable, and the classes are a blast, with great and personable instructors.
I’ve never experienced an issue with broken equipment or packed classes — yes, some are more full than others, but never too many people to have to leave a class.
The club has a spa with facials and waxing available, but I’ve never used it myself. I do see quite a bit of women who do though.
I’ve also never had to use the showers, but from what I’ve seen and heard they are very clean.
I would definitely recommend!

I was a member of The Women’s Club for almost a year when I lived in Chantilly, VA. It was, arguably, the best part of my experience living there. It’s a congested, busy and often frustrating area, but going to The Women’s Club always melted away my stress. It was like stepping into my own little oasis. It’s the cleanest gym I’ve ever seen and I am super picky about cleanliness. The staff is wonderful, friendly and encouraging. Although the gym was rather small, I always had enough room and never waited on equipment. The atmosphere is unmatched. It didn’t have that «gym» feel of intimidation and pressure. I was also a member of the spa and received monthly services from the talented and amazing Saima. I miss this place a lot.

I give it 5 stars. I joined this club as a trial with a groupon, but now I am a regular member. I love the group classes. I also take personal training from Hajer. She is awesome and I have been in a very good shape after I joined her classes. She takes group classes as well and I try to make it to all of them.

I came here today on a guest pass and took my first ever spin class; my instructor was Angie and the class was packed. Having arrived early, I made sure she knew I’d never taken a spin class before. Angie immediately welcome me and set up my bike according to my size, explaining the different functions and what to expect in class.
As class filled up, I saw that she warmly greeted everyone there. Once it was time, she got us started. The music was exactly what you need for a spin class. A great mix of rock, pop and techno.
Angie often explained what we’d be doing before the next switch. She modeled proper form for me throughout. Having never taken a class like this before, I felt very comfortable following her lead.
Angie has a lot of great energy and enthusiasm. She had a disco ball going and color of light changes with each song. She works her bike as hard if not harder than all of us.
After the class, we did some great stretches and Angie took me on a tour of the facilities. They’ve recently been upgraded and not only was everything aesthetically-​pleasing, it was immaculate. The showers each have shampoo, conditioner and body wash and outside each stall there is body lotion. This is typical today in many gyms, but I felt it deserved mentioning.
There is a sauna and even a spa. Most of the fitness equipment is new, all of the weights and weight machines are.
Lovely lounging furniture in the front. Several full glass canisters of courtesy, fresh lemon water throughout. This does not feel like a typical gym, yet with the variety of classes offered and all of the fitness equipment, this all-women’s club is awesome.

Ok so really I don’t use the gym… But I cannot more highly recommend getting a massage from Hong. She’s amazing. I always get deep tissue, but I’m sure she’s good for anything else. I’ve never had a problem here with anything. Everyone is nice and takes care of you. Every time I get a massage I walk out feeling like a new person. 10 stars.

The Women’s Club is life changing! As a member for almost five years, I can honestly say this place is like a second home. Both the people who work here and the members are always friendly and helpful. Where else can you work out, do yoga/​pilates, spin, have a personal trainer/​nutritionist, take education classes, and get massages?! And for such a decent price?!
If you want a real treat, get a facial with Saima… you will never want anyone else to touch your face again! For a great massage, ask for Hong. She is incredible.
If you have any hesitations about joining this club, DON’T! It is worth every penny.

I have been getting facials here for two years straight. Best place to get a facial, massage, or wax! I have been to many spas and nothing compares to the women’s club. I get my facials with Natheina and when she isn’t there I go to see Saima. Both are fantastic!!! I have become addicted. My skin has never looked so beautiful:).
Saima does my brazilian waxes. She is amazing and so quick. I got my first brazilian at another spa and it took one hour!!! Saima is done in 10 minutes. Plus she makes you feel so comfortable and you can’t stop but laugh the entire time because she is hilarious!
I see Natheina for for my facials. I get done the microderm facial along with the brightening peel, and eye contour! Omg amazing. My skin looks bright, smooth, luminous. I first began seeing her once a month and now I see her twice a month:). Woman has to look her best, right?:).
I had a rhinoplasty done 4 weeks ago and had a hump developed which was scar tissue buildup under the skin on the bone. It was bothering me and looked huge. Well I saw Saima for a wax and she told me do the lymph drainage. I went ahead and bought a package of 4. I have already seen Natheina twice for it and it’s 50 percent almost gone!!! I couldn’t believe it. These girls are so honest and they do make you look your best and recommend only what you need!!! I will never go to another spa. I recommend this place to every female!!!

I’m glad that I joined — this is a very clean and user friendly gym and the atmosphere is just different than all of the other gyms I’ve ever belonged to — different in a good way. Lots of renovating has been taking place in the last year as well — it’s always fun to work out on new machines!
I took the boot camp that was offered to me when I first signed up and it was a great experience — the leaders of the class were experts and very motivational. I’d be taking that throughout the year, but it is pricey — so I’ll stick to the gym and its free classes.
The front desk attendants are friendly and helpful and so is most of the staff. My only complaint is that while upon sign up the club promotes the fact that programs are in place to help motivate and encourage users to succeed in their goals, in reality — due to an injury I haven’t been to the gym in months and on one has reached out to schedule the monthly weigh in/​measurement/​free training session that is due every member. I guess I just need to be more proactive, whereas when I signed up I got the impression that they do some nudging as well.
If you are looking for a comfortable environment to attain your fitness goals — I definitely recommend checking this place out.

The entire staff are friendly and I had nothing but a positive experience, if you’re looking for the beast facial and eyebrow shaping Saima shaheen is the one I didn’t know my self she really knows what she’s doing!
Can’t wait for my next visit.

The gym was adequate in terms of equipment and machines. I got a massage here due to my terrible back pain and i really needed some deep massage for my knots. The woman that i got didn’t seem to listen very well so she didn’t focus solely on my upper back and neck. And she wasn’t strong enough, it felt like i was barely being touched, instead of really putting her weights into it and release the knots.

I originally went in for a spa week massage and then became a spa member, paying a fee 2x a month to get 1 monthly service. I always looked forward to my massages. I never joined the gym, because they don’t offer the exact group class I really like. I did try a barre class once and it was pretty good.
Their spa is pretty decent – I’ve gotten facials (though the woman was a little rough with the pimple-​popping. My skin is sensitive & scars easily). The only complaint I have is that the walls in the spa are a bit thin and I can hear people talking in other rooms, which can prevent me from relaxing.
Their locker room is amazing and it’s super clean – the staff is constantly in there, cleaning up. There’s a sauna, plenty of showers/​bathroom stalls and a plenty of fluffy white towels. I just wish there was a hot tub for full muscle relaxation, but I guess you can’t have everything.
I must give them props for letting me use their showers/​locker room when my power was out, once. It was a life-​saver.

This gym is the best thing to ever happen to me! Okay, maybe my husband and kids rank higher, but this is close up there. With young kids, it’s hard to find time to work out. We have a treadmill at home, but my routine was always interrupted by a baby crying, a toddler wandering off to «explore» (never a good thing), or other neediness that can’t be told to wait «a few more minutes». Before I had kids, I belonged to one of the larger, name brand gyms, and I just didn’t like it. It felt cold and sterile, and I always felt intimidated by the machines, not to mention feeling like I was in the way of big, muscular men who wanted to use them.
On the recommendation of a neighbor, I checked out this gym and have been extremely happy. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, who works here is very friendly. The receptionist knows your name, the personal trainers are so incredibly helpful and encouraging, and the ladies working in the Kids Club are fantastic. My kids are excited to come to the gym and are always actively engaged and having fun while I get to work out.
The gym isn’t huge, but that adds to the charm of the place. It definitely feels more like a community, not a huge warehouse of people working out. Despite it’s smaller size, though, I have never had a problem getting on the machine I wanted or getting my weight lifting in.
It’s also the little things that make this place so nice: cold lemon water available at all times; fresh towels in the locker room; shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the showers; hair dryers and q-​tips for afterwards; and fresh cut flowers everywhere. I anticipate going to this gym for many years to come!

This is by far the best Gym I have ever gone to and I will probably never join another gym as long as I live in this area. Working out is difficult for me. I have a hard time getting motivated to go to the gym. Usually, I don’t even last 3 weeks at a co-​ed gym before I stop going.
The women’s club is different. I’m“m overweight and have been for most of my life. The people who work there were and is very encouraging from the beginning. I had received a groupon as a gift. On my first visit, Jennifer was great and showed me the layout of the gym. Then they set me up with a Personal Trainer.
Now I have a problem with my ankle, I get calcium deposits in my joint which causes it to be swollen and painful all the time. Somedays, I can’t even walk. I’ve had this condition for 2 years. The personal trainer was very concerned and she worked with me to solve this problem which my own doctor hasn’t been able to do. She suggested meals changes and going to another doctor and seeing the physical therapist at the gym. Within the first week, my ankle stopped looking like a balloon. The pain went away. It’s been 4 weeks and my ankle hasn’t swelled up and it feels strong enough now that I can run on it. This was not gout.
Then the personal trainer went through the exercises with me and on weight safety. I didn’t much like the weight because my arms were sore everyday for 2 weeks. But Natalia was very encouraging and told me to stick with it.
Today, I overdid the weights and I was in pain in the locker room and I didn’t think anyone noticed. After I got out of the sauna and shower, the staff asked me about it. It made me feel great that they were so concerned.
This gym is so friendly, they know everyones name and they tried to help each other. The women at the gym who come to exercise are also super friendly and helpful. They constantly try to motivate me and encourage me.
I find myself looking forward to seeing everyone at the gym now. That’s a tough one because none of my friends could ever get me to go hiking or exercise with them before and I just want to invite all my female friends to come with me now. Since I’ve been at this gym I’ve lost 4 lbs. Not a lot but when you’re fat, every lb counts.
They have nutrition classes and babysitting for women who have children and want to work out. That is really awesome. They also have a spa, so you can get body wraps and massages. You can also drop in to the classes whenever you want and if you’re not a member, they charge you a small fee.
Overall, I can’t find a single thing wrong with this gym. Just wonderful people here.

I bought a groupon a while back for a 30– day membership + a Swedish massage. The process of activating the groupon is you would have to schedule an appointment with the wellness director so that they can gather your information and give you 30 day pass which you would have to give to the receptionist upon entering the gym each time.
Pros (+):
— Cycling class Mondays and Wednesdays with Angela Thomas! She is very upbeat and makes the class fun, do take the class w. her if you haven’t done so yet!
— Free towels
— Lockers
— Not crowded when you go at the right time
Cons (-):
— Hours
— Yoga class– I tried the Fitness Yoga class and it just was not much of a workout for me. From the name of the class, I was expecting a class that similar to Power Vinyasa that is more fast– paced than a beginners yoga class, which is what it was.
— It seems that it is very difficult to ask for the cost of a gym membership here. I asked someone at the front desk but they told me that I had to make an appointment with the wellness director to get that information. It would be ideal to have that information readily available for any person that asks b/​c it can be inconvenient to have to make an appointment just to get a rough estimate of the cost of a gym membership when I just do not have the time!
— Not many weight machines (basically only 1 of each type) that you would have to wait your turn when you go during peak hours.
** The groupon and Unilocal offers are only for NEW customers and those offers cannot be used together. If you used the Unilocal deal before, you would not be able to use the groupon offer**

I love the women’s club! I love the girls at the front desk, and I especially love my personal trainer Meredith. I have gone through a lot of hard times that led me to losing my self physically. Meredith and many of the ladies at the women’s club have continued to motivate and inspire me throughout this process. The only reason why I gave the women’s club 4 stars is because of price. I am a student and I only work part time so the price is really hard for me to make each month. I wish they offered some kind of a special for students, because I don’t know where I’d be without my trainer/​classes and I don’t know if I can continue to afford coming year-​round.

I really love this gym, it’s a women only fitness center and they even have lemon water outside the locker room. There is hardly ever anybody here and sometimes when I stay until close I am the only person there! I love not having to fight people for a treadmill or have some burly guy staring me down while I’m using the weight machine that he’s waiting for. This place is so relaxing and carefree. If you suffer from «gymtimidation» this is the perfect place to start a workout routine! I only wish they had longer hours especially on the weekends, and that some of the extra classes weren’t so pricey. Most of the classes are free but they offer some special classes sometimes that cost extra and the bootcamp is the same price for a member as it is for a non-​member, I think members should get a discount.

I haven’t been a member for long but I am already crazy about this place! I’m a stay at home mom so I needed to join a gym that had childcare. Against my better judgement I joined Gold’s gym because it’s a bit cheaper. What a mistake! My 1yr old daughter couldn’t stand it there. At least once a week my workout would be interrupted because my daughter was so upset. I’d come into the childcare center at Gold’s and the ladies were visibly annoyed like, «Oh god! Here comes that lady with the screaming kid!» Since I’ve been at The Women’s Club I have yet to see my daughter even frown. When I drop her off at the Kid’s Club she wiggles around in happy anticipation! At the other gym I’d spend my entire workout worried that my daughter was freaking out without me. id Anxiously be looking over my shoulder in anticipation for one of the childcare people telling me to pick my kid up because she was screaming so loudly that she was upsetting the other kids. At The Women’s Club I can zone out on a cardio machine, take a cycle class, I can do strength training, AND most importantly I CAN SHOWER with peace of mind! This place is definitely worth the extra loot. Oh and the place is spotless! Seriously, if you need to join a gym that provides childcare while you workout this is the place to be.

This is my happy place! As a mother with a 2 month old baby, I was struggling with finding time to work out, not to mention shower. Finding this place was life changing. The daycare is EXCEPTIONAL and take wonderful care of the children of all ages. Unlike other gyms they will even change or feed the baby if needed! For the older kids they have activities, music hours, fitness outings.
The facilities top notch and staff is great. Excellent array of classes offered, in addition to plenty of quality gym equipment. As a former fitness competitor and current marathon runner I have seen a lot of gyms. This place is on the TOP of the list. If you are a mom in the area, it is the BEST investment you will ever make in your healthy, well being and sanity!

I got an Express Facial and Massage package on Groupon for The Women’s Club, which also includes a 30 day club membership. I really enjoy going here and actually looking forward to come and exercise everyday. The facility is very clean, and well equipped. I especially love the fact that they provide towels, lemon water, and good shampoo and conditioner (not the crappy and soapy ones that will strip all the moisture out of your hair that other places have). Also, it’s 5 minutes from my house. YAY!
So enough said, I’ve decided to get a gym membership here (even though I’ve already got a free one at George Mason)
The only thing I wish The Women Club would improve is their fitness classes. I love Zumba but they only have it for 4,5 sessions a week and with my schedule, I can only go to the one on sunday. If they add more Zumba or other dance fitness session (like in the morning), I’d give them a million start :)

I have been going to this gym/​spa for over eight years. While it is a great value, the real reason I go once a month is to see Saima for a facial. Not only does she know her stuff when it comes to skin care, she is hilarious! I highly recommend her at the risk of making it even harder than it already is to get an appointment with her. If massage is more your thing, Hong is awesome. She’s all business, and does a great job! This place it definitely worth a visit. While it doesn’t look like much from the outside, the inside is clean, well maintained and the staff is great. And you can’t beat the prices for this area.
