I am new in the area and decided to stop by this gym due to it being closer to my law firm. I usually go in the mornings and while I enjoy the loud music and equipments one thing stood out to me which was the lack of diversity amongst the population. Thus, far I’ve only seen one black young female who works out there consistently (I never got the chance to speak to her to receive her name but she always wore her hair in long braids and she squats way more than my old legs could ever go ). I think this gym definitely has potential I would like to see MORE diversity.

I really do love this place, its my second home in the city for sure. Fun and challenging classes, top notch instructors and facilities. Being a member here, Ive seen results in my energy levels, in how fit and toned I am, and how motivated I am to stay active and healthy because I just want to keep coming back. Thanks! Love being a member of The Shop GYM ...

The gym itself is the most adequately equipped gym I’ve ever been to. 5 stars for the gym.Ownership should be addressed as I have personally seen the “owner” treat staff with absolute disrespect.

The best gym around by far. Equipment is the best. Staff and trainers actually take their jobs seriously. As soon as you walk in you know this is it. This is the place that will take your fitness goals to the next level.

This gym is awesome 💪 its maintained very well and super clean. Theres so many benches and squat racks perfect for when youre there during the peak hours. Its also 24/7 if you pay a one time fee. So try it out if you want to get stronger!!!!❤️

The best around! Gonna miss this place when I move.

It’s very very cold !Fix it!

A small business but a massive gym. Everything you could ever possibly want in a training facility. If you are looking for a truly judgement free zone, this is it. The energetic atmosphere is contagious as soon as you walk in the building. The wonderful thing is though, that you can come in with your headphones on and never say a word, or socialize and connect with other enthusiastic athletes from all backgrounds. It is exactly what you want to make of it.Myself, and many, many others like me consider this place a second home, and for good reason. The owners have poured their passions into this place, and it shows. They are also always willing to listen to suggestions or criticism, and actually take action accordingly.This pandemic is not easy on anyone, especially small business owners. I for one would not even consider canceling my membership during this time. I would be devastated if The Shop Gym was no longer there when all of this is over. I am eagerly looking forward to walking through those doors again!

Very clean gym! Wide array of machines and plenty of free weights. Has turf area, different tires sizes for flipping, numerous squat racks and DL platforms.

Best gym Ive ever been to. Knocks all the mainstream gyms like OneLife and 24 Hour Fitness out of the park. Even the atmosphere is next level! Everyone respects each others fitness journey here.

By far the best gym in the northern va area. If you are into powerlifting i highly recommend you going. The members are great the owners are great and nice people. If you are into bodybuilding you will love it as well for those strongman folks this place is for you too. Definitely my favorite gym to train at prices aren’t bad at all best bang for you buck.If you are new into lifting or just want to feel welcomed and yet feel motivated i highly recommend you drop by.

My favorite gym EVER 💪❤

I get mad and then I come here and then were good.

Comfortable, affordable, but a REAL gym. Definitely not snobby, but the staff and personal trainers are exceptional. Something for everyone!

Best gym in Northern Virginia. Every piece of equipment you would ever need and more. Great for all levels of fitness. Incredible staff and 24 hour access.

Best real gym I’ve been to in VA! Coming from the west cost I struggled to find anything like what I was used to previously. This is now my new home!

This gym is my favorite gym in the NoVa. Whenever Im out here, its where Im lifting.

Best gym Ive been to by far. They literally have everything you need. That being said, I will be ending my membership. Due to Covid-19 the gym has been closed which is to be expected. The fact that Im still being charged, I personally think is bad buisness.

The gym atmosphere is one of a kind. Everyone that works there is helpful and knowledgeable. The gym was also super clean. Everyone that was working out had great gym etiquette. If youre in the area or going on a gymcation. I recommend making this gym a pit stop.

Amazing gym. Been going here since March and couldn’t ask for more. Great thing is now that I’ve grown through different stages in my fitness... I find myself loving the shop even more. There is no gym like this gym when it comes to equipment, staff, and family atmosphere. Great gym for any persons fitness goals. Accommodates all schedules. Highly recommend

Still the best hardcore gym in the DMV! Friendly staff and motivating ambience, loads of equipment and free weights!

The Shop Gym is hands down the best gym that you will find in Virginia.. dare I say on the east coast. This gym has just about every piece of equipment you’ll ever need to train with. ER racks, specialized bars, kilo plates, strongman equipment, a pit shark, a vertical leg press, a posing room... the list goes on and on. Not to mention they play the best music, the members and staff are super friendly.. it’s VERY easy to spend 3+ hours here at The Shop. Once you step foot in this gym, you’ll never want to go back to your standard commercial gym. Ever since I went to the first ever open house last summer, I knew that The Shop would be home. To any serious lifter out there, I highly recommend that you get a membership here!

This gym is sick, any equipment that I have seen over there years, and wanted to try. They have. If youre serious about working out and possibly competing in weightlifting, powerlifting or bodybuilding. This is perfect for all of those things. I felt like a kid in a candy store here.

Finally a gym where I can feel comfortable to work out in. I dont feel like my every move is being watched. The most POSITIVE atmosphere you could ever ask for. Doesnt matter if you are a bodybuilder, power-lifter, strongman, or just someone trying to live a healthier lifestyle; THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU. Oh and you forgot your headphones, no problem the music they play the members pick the songs themselves and you can actually HEAR the music. The Shop Gym makes everyone feel welcomed and part of the family. Just stop in one time and you will be hooked.

Im in awe. This gym has good music and a wide variety of equipment. A powerlifting zone, a turfed zone, general circuit equipment and a more private yoga/posing studio. The monthly membership cost is a steal for what youre given access to. It is absolutely humbling to think you might actually be the most out of shape person in the room as well, definitely a no BS gym with an inspiring focus on training and athleticism. My only gripe is that the water fountains taste a little off and are a little dirty, I will easily change this to a five star review if you guys could have someone come and change the filters and give them a good clean from the inside.

Amazing facility great, friendly staff!! This gym is equipped with powerlifting and bodybuilding equipment and room for Olympic lifting as well as strongman!!! The staff is great about helping you feeling at home and they have great trainers to help you get going!

Just the right vibe.

Large gym with plenty of space to do your workouts. Clean and well maintained equipment. Lots of specialized equipment for powerlifting and strongman you wont find at large gyms. Engaging community that makes you want to come back tomorrow and train again.

The shop is more than a gym, it’s a community of amazing people who want to better themselves day in and day out. If you haven’t been to a gym of this caliber before, don’t be intimidated! The stigma of bodybuilding and powerlifting gyms being full of rude and scary people does not apply here! Everyone is humble and friendly and is always willing to lend a helping hand no matter what your goals are. I love this place and wouldn’t want to train at any other gym.

Why cant my local gym be like this :( this place is so flipping nice. I wish they had a little better locker room or spa of sorts but thats pretty minor.

Great equipment. Great management. Great gym. Well worth the monthly membership cost.

Thank you Jason for the posing tips 😊

This place is the BEST gym in Northern Virginia. You MUST go if you like the old-school rugged gym feel! Love the gym and everyone who is a part of it!

If you havent been here, you are missing out. I have trained at most of the commercial gyms available in Sterling/Fairfax, and none come close to TSG. Environment and staff make it easy for ANYONE to take their fitness goals seriously here.

The best independent gym in VA! 24 hour access, unmatched equipment, knowledgeable staff, and an atmosphere unlike anything else around!

Awesome gym and great people. If your looking for a real gym with a wide variety of equipment that covers every different type of training out there, then this is your gym. The only thing that could use improvement is their hours.

The Best

This gym is everything you ever wanted in a gym.

BEST TRAINING GYM IN THE DMV!!! I live in Quantico, VA and I do not mind driving an hour back and forth on the weekends just to train at the Shop. The energy is great, I CAN USE ALL THE CHALK I WANT, the music wont put you to sleep. Everyone is there for different reasons and goals but we all have the same passion to train. Since day one I have not felt anything but welcome at this place. This is more than a gym, its a community and if the gym is part of your life style, this is the place to be. I am trying to get all my friends to try this place out because once they train here I am pretty sure a commercial gym will never feel the same.

Almost 30,000 sq/ft of serious strength toys for anyone who loves powerlifting, bodybuilding, strongman, Weightlifting, or just enjoys trainjng in a more serious atmosphere. Jason and Tim’s passion for their facility is palpable the moment you speak with either one of them. The facility is well designed, always clean, and filled with anything you could ever dream of. This is a strength sport oasis. Do yourself a favor and sign up for a membership already.

This is the training facility of my dreams. I cant even use the word gym because it doesnt do this place justice. By far the best equipment under one roof. The place is a massive nearly 30,000 sq ft. I see people from all walks of life and their disciplines all vary from Powerlifters, Strongman, Bodybuilders, Crossfit, you name it. The community and atmosphere are like nothing Ive ever experienced. So much love and support flowing throughout this establishment. This is a family-owned business, not a commercial gym, and the owners are on a first name basis with every member. We are all literally one big family there! They often seek input from us to make sure we have everything we need so we can train the way we want to train! I cant stress this enough....if you havent been to The Shop, stop whatever you are doing and come!!!!

Best gym. Best people. Best atmosphere. Best Music. Did I say best gym?

Joined for training sessions and left because the trainer was unprofessional.I left unsatisfied and not helped by the staff.

The best gym Ive been to in over 10 years of training.

I love this place, best gym I have ever worked out at, if you want spas, pools, this isnt your gym. If you want to work out and change your life, this is the place for you, they have turf inside for any kind of work out you can come up with, power lifting set up and all the gym equipment you could need . Great environment and awesome, friendly people!!

Loved everything here. All of the training essentials anyone could want and plenty of speciality handles and bars. Fantastic atmosphere and friendly staff.

Awesome gym. Great atmosphere. Decent space.

Just a local bouncing around finding the right gym.My Shop review goes like this..The layout and the energy in this wide open facility are amazing. There’s every piece of equipment you could need and want. The mn’s room has an odd smell and I noticed the gentleman before me didn’t flush or wash his hands. (You’re at a gym and just touch you junk; please wash your hands)I had to park on the back of the building, which is fine by me. But as I was paying my guest fee, the young dark haired woman behind the counter walked out to what I would assume is her car parked in the front spot. (Employees I think should take the not so hot spots forparking.And lastly, I noticed a lot of people wiping their machines down as common curtesy, then other big buff guys in groups just waking away in there tank too do their next lift. (Recommend reminding members and guests to wipe their machines down.

Very excellent gym, especially for powerlifting. Only downside is one shower for the whole gym

Incredible place to train. Great environment

I am so thankful this place is only 5 minutes from my house. I mean you cant go wrong with the endless selection of equipment that you dont have to wait on like corporate gyms. As a bonus, theres a variety of events that a Powerlifter can not resist. Most of all, trainers,management, and owners know there stuff and will get you motivated!

If you are serious or a beginner this gym is where you need to be training. Honestly screw all the other typical gyms where you just get lost in that same ole same, there are some many different kinds of lifters here is mind blowing and If you want a gym that has everything and wants nothing more for you to succeed this is the spot.

Nice gym for body builders/power lifters

Great place to train positive environment makes you wanna train hard love this place

Great gym. Has everything needed for all levels of fitness

Amazing gym with a great atmosphere. Everyone here is also really friendly and helpful.

Hands down best gym... as soon as you walk in youre greeted and welcomed... everyone from the owners to staff to gym members are HIGHLY motivating and willing to help with whatever your goals may be. They offer a little bit of everything from weight training to cardio to powerlifting to personal training options. They have events and clinics to help those who compete and several different local vendors/shops who periodically come in and offer samples and advice. They have a pretty awesome posing room with an area to chill and even sit down and eat your food. The front cooler is always packed with protein shakes, energy drinks, and water by the gallon (literally!). They also have pre-prepped meals from meal dealers avail. I could go on but you really have to experience it for yourself, you wont be disappointed!

Finally a gym for serious training. No frills, bells, or whistles, just Arnold style training.

The Shop Gym is the most complete facility in Northern Virginia for those interested in improving their physique, strength training, and overall fitness. I have been a part of many gyms and have been to other great gyms in my training career and this place is bar none the best I have had the pleasure to frequent. Jason, Tim, and Skylar are nothing but accommodating to their clientele and passionate about their craft.They are active in the fitness community, hosting powerlifting competitions, competition clinics for those looking to compete in bodybuilding, massage therapy, and local nutrition stores, etc. They even have a lounge complete with TV, fridge, and microwave for those who are dieting and bringing their meals.This gym has a complete powerlifting area with several power racks, specialty barbells, an ER competition rack with calibrated competition plates, plate loaded sled for conditioning, and anything a powerlifter could possibly need. For bodybuilding, there are several hammer strength machines, specialty machines like a the pullover machine, full sets of dumbbells going up to 150’s, several pieces of cardio equipment, and even their own posing room for those getting ready for competition.Even with all the aforementioned equipment; it is the people and the environment that make this place special. There are athletes in every shape, size, and level of training experience. Coaches for every discipline. I have yet to meet anyone who isn’t willing to help one another or hasn’t been anything besides kind and respectful to one another. The culture that is being built here is something to be a part of if you want to take your fitness to the next level.

This place is very very spacious and more than accommodating!!

Lots of equipment and options...still needs a locker room

Im so glad I joined the shop. I have been hitting prs since I have made the switch. Whether your a powerlifter, body builder, strongman, or anything in between it is a must. Plenty of deadlift platforms benches and squat racks. There is also a monolift, dumbells that go up to 150 pounds and a reverse back hyper. Good music plenty of space friendly people and owners that actually listen to the opinions of the members. I will add this in as well. Im a powerlifter and meeting new lifters has been one of the best things about the shop. Ive been able to take in new information and add in to my program. Why cut yourself short because you wanna save 20 or 30 bucks. 55 dollars a month is more than worth it. What else can you ask for you. I wanna add in best gym in Virginia hands down.

Great place to get in a good work out

Great atmosphere, wide variety of equipment, and friendly staff and members

Best gym ever!

Good workout 💪

Great training facility

It is the East Coast Mecca in the making

Best gym in Northern VA

Love love love it!!
