The staff is super friendly and down to earth, they definitely took me by surprise! If you go at the right time, the gym is practically empty too; nice spacious, ridiculously clean & modern areas that you only have to share with a few others. I don’t use any of the amenities for your comparison purposes, to include the locker room.

Overall I really like the gym facilities. Up to date and clean. Love the locker rooms they provide everything you need! The staff is friendly and the app is really awesome. I wish the pool hours opened later on weekends…at least until the sun when down at the Navy Yard location. My only issue has been getting my questions answered to certain questions. No one has retuned my calls, emails, or in person inquires so that has been frustrating. Also, the parking garage they have is kind of small. Many times I have gone and it full leaving me to wonder around for a while looking for parking and unable to use Vida’s parking validation. Overall I am satisfied with the gym, it’s location and amenities. It is pricy, so not sure how long I will keep my membership, but I do like that they offer monthly to month and not a contract.

I love how friendly and professional the staff is. SUPER clean facilities. Gym equipment is top of the line quality.And I must also highlight General Manager Antoine Robinson - his genuine, positive energy is reflected in the club. Very welcoming!

Extremely overpriced. The only reason you’d spend $130 a month for this gym is if you just feel like spending money. It’s nice but nothing special. Oh and if you’re planning on using the pool, the membership is even more.

Vida was quite nice before Covid. Since Covid theyve made changes to cut corners and save money but they are still the most expensive gym membership in DC with dwindling amenities.

Great pool day!

The Yards has been a great location for me. It sits comfortably on my way out of DC. Great staff, clean and not overcrowded. Ive enjoyed my experience.

I love this location in the Navy Yard this location has parking too! The gym has nice friendly staff, they keep the large facility very clean.

Ive really enjoyed being a member of VIDA Fitness at The Yards. The staff, instructors, and classes are great. VIDA is not only concerned about their clients weight loss goals but their overall well being. I love how VIDA Fitness is proactive with the community as well as their commitment to diversity and inclusion.

The Staff at the gym is great! Everyone I have encountered have been very friendly and professional. The gym is pretty top notch. I just cant wait for COVD to backoff so we can have full use of everything the gym has to offer.

Beautiful clean facility with a lovely ambience. I am very pleased with the results. They offer specials and a payment plan! Ask for Ms. Brooks.

The young lady at the front desk in the evening is extremely rude and very disrespectful.

Large, airy facility with big windows and lots of natural light. Excellent selection of equipment. Nice, spa-like locker rooms. Cheap parking in the garage with validation.

Great! Fix the sauna

Nice pool atmosphere!

Da Yards. Excellent.

I have been a member for almost a year now. Overall the gym is very nice. Membership fee is very high but you get quality. 4 stars for additional fees for construction/improvement (?!) Which makes me wonder what the membership fee is for. This needs to be disclosed up front in the prices when signing up

Great gym. Friendly staff and super clean - even BEFORE the pandemic.

Great atmosphere

Super awesome trainer Diana; very knowledgeable.

Full gym with great staff and a wide variety of machines and options. The one downside is the cost, but this is comparable to any other high end gym.

I was a loyal member at the Vida for almost two years.I unfortunately have to let anyone new to DC know that Vida does not care about you the minute you try to cancel. You are guilty until proven innocent and they deliberately charge you extra (including a cancellation fee).I cancelled over the phone and then was told months later I was being charged hundreds of dollars for not cancelling. After showing proof of the cancellation form I filled out, they refused to reimburse me. In fact, they told me they needed written traffic via email proving the form was legitimate... Talk about treating your customer base poorly (especially a loyal one).Do not let Vida steal your money. It was an endless battle with them. Be sure to block them on your credit card when you cancel to ensure you do not fall victim to what I went through. The classlessness is beyond me.

Best gym Ive ever been to. Great facilities, locker room, classes, and staff. Top-notch all round with low lighting compared to other gyms, which really makes a difference. Great place!

My favorite gym in DC. All the equipment is new and functional. I attend a lot of classes and Ive found them all engaging, challenging and fun. The staff is super friendly too. After your workout is done, the locker rooms have everything you need including a steam room, a sauna and nice shower products. Great place.

Be careful! Dishonest business practices. After being told I cancelled, I was told it did not go through and despite never going to the gym was billed for another 4 months. I then went back to the gym and was told you cant cancel in person because it requires a hard copy form and they are only digital. You can sign up digitally. I then gave them a signed cancellation form. A month later I was told it wasnt process because a new charge had occurred during the preceding period. I then went online paid the balance and sent the general manager a confirmation email. Then when I asked for confirmation of my separation later I was told that they decided to keep billing me because they said despite having a confirmation email they thought there might have been a bank reversal. Then after trying to contact them again was told their assistant manager quit and so there was only one person on the planet that could cancel a membership so I would have to work around his schedule. In 20 years of gym memberships I have NEVER seen such a dishonest and ineffective system. Stay away!

Great

Beautiful but expensive gym. You have to pay for parking - it is validated, but youll still pay something. There’s a rooftop pool but only open to members at certain times of the day unless you’re willing to pay extra. If you’re gonna go to any class, look up Kelly Moyers! Anything she teaches is amazing! You won’t regret it.

Even during the pandemic, Vida continued to provide online support to its patrons. After the Phase II reopening, even when they opened the gyms, Vida continued to provide online classes for people who are not yet comfortable to step in the physical gyms.

The facility is beautiful, especially the roof top pool. My review is low only because of an incident of extremely poor customer service I experienced with a shorter blond male manager. He snapped at me and behaved in an extremely rude and unprofessional manner. Its a shame to see such poor standards for customer service in a such a nice facility.

This is my gym. I LOVE this place and the people. Everyone here treats you like you are their BFF!

Nice gym. Its always clean and well organized. Kinda cruise-y, if you know what I mean. Park in the lot underneath the building.

Started out with great management staff & gradually has declined. VIP rooftop which I paid extra became am employee friends and family gathering spot. On my lone visit last summer I had a salad from sweetgreen. Clearly visible the front desk checked me in, the VIP roof top host checked me in with salad in hand. I get a poolside chair start eating my salad my server comes over and takes my drink order. About 10 minutes later some young woman comes over and without introduction proceeds to aggressively inform me of the policy in regards to outside food. When I correct her and try to advise her how she should 1st introduce herself before she starts correcting a paying member of Vida she gets offended. About 3 hours later the manager Colleen Paloma comes and asks to have a word with me. Long story short in was asked to leave. Reason is I said something offensive to the woman who approached me that I corrected. Ms. Paloma refused to tell me what it was that I said that was offensive. When I asked how long was I being banned from the Vida she informed me someone would contact me. I then asked her to cancel my membership which she was more than happy to do. I still have not been contacted by anyone from Vida fitness in regards to this incident.

VIDA Fitness is one of the more affordable gyms (still not as cheap as the $10 a month Planet Fitness fee, but much cheaper than Orange Theory, Crossfit, etc) in DC. This location is in Navy Yard just a few blocks from the Navy Yard Metro.The gym itself is nice, clean, and well laid out. The lobby is on the first floor with two levels of free weights, machines, and studios above it. The penthouse houses the rooftop pool thats very popular in the summer.Theres a main studio on the second floor with better-than-normal classes like bootcamp, hiit, and other classes. The locker rooms are on the third floor with a small sauna, steam room, and towel service.The staff are friendly and helpful.

Gym wasnt bad. The problem was that after my contract ended, the gym decided to keep billing my credit card. Then after MONTHS of trying to get them to stop billing me they said the charges would stand and that there was nothing they could do about it. Its ok--check out the BBB scores for VIDA online. F for a reason. I filed a complaint and got my money back through my credit card. They admitted in writing that my contract was over but did nothing to remedy the situation--downright rude about it. Stay away. Gym is scum.

Lovely place, they have excellent view and service is incredible. The pool is one of my favorites spots . check them out.

Love VIDA at the Yards! Staff are so awesome and the locker rooms are great. Love the space for lifting and cardio and have had a good experiences with classes.

Watch out for all the extra fees they tack on

They have everything. Love it. Best for people who love fitness.

Best gym in the city. Its a bit expensive but the amenities are very nice. The staff and trainers are also top notch.

Great steam room and dry sauna . Parking first 2 hours $2 3 hours $3 validated

I love being apart of DCs best gym...

Nice gym... Crowded at night and hard to get on certain machines. A touch pricey. But, its pretty.... As are the people!

Love this gym. The nice views definitely help me get through my workout.

Great facility. Minus one GIANT star for charging members for parking. $100+ per month AND an hourly rate for parking. Thats a major minus.

The gym is great, but if you decide to cancel your membership be prepared for a long, drawn out battle to get your auto pay stopped. I continue to be charged after canceling, rebates promised for over payment that never appear after weeks go by. Random charges are still appearing and its been 2 months since canceling.

The gym may seem pricey, but I think its worth it. I did personal training all summer with Push (give him a pay raise). Hes great, and in general, the staff was always friendly and helpful. You can bring your friends up to the pool on the weekend. The pool drinks and food are excellent. There are occasionally parties on the roof, e.g., during pride. The gym never felt intimidating.Also, those showers are A+... theyll change you.Note: there are two ways to enter. You can either enter through the vida/harris teter parking underground or through the entrance past sweetgreen facing the river.

This is a great gym. And the staff is super friendly.

Great gym. Lots of options for equipment and classes. Staff is friendly and responsive.

Friendly front desk, great trainers - A judgement free zone

Love this location. Parking not great n limited

I was a Vida member at various locations for 3 years. I never had an issue with the facilities (aside from City Vista), any of the staff or personal trainers... until I tried to cancel my membership.Im the type of person that takes the time to read contracts I sign, especially when I know how often people have trouble cancelling gym memberships. I was a month to month member, and I fully understand that I needed to provide 30 days written notice to cancel.My April dues were billed on 4/4. I called to find out how to cancel my membership and was told I needed to send back a completed cancellation form, and that they are lenient within a day or two of the 30 days notice. I filled out the form and sent it back on 4/5 - the general manager, Dan Andrews, acknowledged receipt of my information and told me Jaramis would handle everything from here.I never heard anything from him... but on 5/5 I saw a charge for May dues. I called VIDA to speak to someone and I was told the membership advisor was out because of an emergency and the manager was out on vacation. Assuming I was getting the run around, I contacted my credit card company and disputed the charge. I then sent Jaramis a follow up email letting him know what happened and that AmEx would be handling everything going forward. He responded on 5/6 apologizing for dropping the ball and said hes closed my account.A few days later, AmEx got back to me and told me the dispute was resolved in Vidas favor. They were citing that I cancelled my membership on 5/5... which fell short of the required noticed. I submitted all correspondence between Vida and myself to AmEx for further investigation including my original cancellation dated 4/5. AmEx responds to me telling me that VIDA is citing my cancellation date as 5/5. We ended up having to settle the issue as a fraud charge because Vida was submitting false documentation which resulted in me getting a new credit card number and having to update all billing with other companies... After the second issue, I contacted the general manager Dan Andrews, asking for a response from him as Jaramis clearly wasnt helpful... I have not heard back from Mr Andrews.Again, I never had an issue with VIDA in 3 years... except for when I tried to cancel... just make sure you save all correspondence with them... and Id advise having your monthly dues taken from a credit card... that provides a little bit more protection than having it withdrawn from your checking account...

Keep expanding vida. Dc loves you. Dcwebdesign.guru

Very clean, cool and helpful staff, good variety of equipment. What more could you want?

This is the closest a fitness facility will get to EOR (East of the River) at this time. Keep in mind that it is a luxury fitness club.

Warning: [1]. Vida films you in the locker rooms; [2]. Vida harvests your private info & biometrics, but leaked at least certain a congressmans to Facebook, caused his office to protest (according to Vidas staff).

Great Staff and group class offerings.

The reason I like this gym is because of the sauna and steam room.

Very trendy gym. Has club lighting which is annoying.

I would like to know why it cost to cancel your membership after your contract is up ?????
