Vida Fitness Reviews

Great gym with extremely deceptive business practices and weirdly out of date weight lifting equipment. I love Vida, it’s gotten me back into a great gym routine and the U St location has pretty much anything you’d ever need. However, like other reviewers have noted, the sign up practices are awful! They make you pay an initiation fee that gives you access to a New Member package, but I and most others never receive this package. I’ve given up on trying to get the package, it’s a sunk cost. Don’t expect to receive anything for signing up. The only other issue at Vida is that the weight lifting equipment on floor 3 is falling apart and I get afraid of catching tetanus from it. It feels like they should invest in renovating that equipment. Also the floor 2 turf area is lacking bands and TRX straps, which belong on the turf… Overall it’s an expensive but good gym with bad sales practices! The clientele is fine; there’s not much community but everyone is nice and keeps to themselves.

This is a really great gym overall, but they play the same repetitive boring music every single time I’m here, which is 4-5 times per week. Rather than motivate me to work harder I want to run from the place screaming. Please update your playlist to music more conducive to a good workout ! Thanks !
