Looking for Arlington or Alexandria gym recommendations

[Anonymous]

I'm looking for one that isn't super expensive and offers classes like yoga and pilates.

Golds gym - pick the option that lets you work out at 14 of the local Golds. There are branches in South Arlington, Rosslyn, Clarendon and Ballston, and there are good yoga classes most days, though not all at the same branch. there are mat pilates classes, and machine pilates is an option, but you have to pay extra for it. I really like golds, though it can get crowded on Monday evenings and certain times on weekends.

Mount Vernon Athletic Club - like $40/month (no annual contract), tons of great classes, awesome personnal trainers, a small spa area and tennis (but that's extra). It's a smaller gym (cue music) where everybody knows your na-ame, da, da, da....

It's tucked back behind where the new Costco is being built on Rt 1 (Alexandria). We've been members for about 8 months now and my kids love the FREE daycare room! That allows me or DH to go whenever we want since we work such opposite schedules. I go typically 6 days a week between personnal training and classes (Zumba classes rock if you like that kind of thing)

Tell Jaime or Sarah that Tracy F. recommended you if you decide to join. Of course, like any gym, I do get a little bonus if someone uses my name as a rec but I really do love it or I wouldn't be going 6 days a week!!
