Gym is small and horrible and it was, without a doubt, the worst gym experience I've ever had. From the moment I walked in, I could tell this place was a disaster waiting to happen.First off, the equipment is ancient and poorly maintained. The machines are broken, the weights are scattered everywhere, and cleanliness is clearly not a priority. The entire place smells like a mix of sweat and mold, which makes working out even more unbearable.But the real deal-breaker was the staff, specifically one incredibly weird and obnoxious employee. This guy never shuts up and has absolutely no sense of boundaries. Every time I tried to focus on my workout, he would come over and start talking about the most disgusting and inappropriate things. From graphic descriptions of his personal hygiene habits to crude comments about other gym members, it was beyond revolting.On top of that, he was an absolute jerk. He'd make snide remarks if you were using a machine he wanted, or criticize your form in the most condescending way possible. He seemed to take pleasure in making everyone around him uncomfortable, and it completely ruined the atmosphere of the gym.It's clear that management does not care about the quality of their staff or the satisfaction of their members. If they did, this guy would have been fired long ago. Overall, this gym is a nightmare. Save yourself the trouble and find a better place to work out. This dump isn't worth your time or money.

Was unsure of signing up due to quite a few bad reviews, but decided to do a guest pass since this is the closest gym and NOVA traffic sucks.This is my experience going at around the same time of day each time: It's overall a good gym. Plenty of machines/racks and the locker room is clean. You'll be hard-pressed to find a better gym than this for the same cost.App kind of sucks, but that's out of their control.Would love it if there were competition-grade Kg plates, but I might be in the small minority that would use them.

Posting this review here because it's been hidden on Google reviews (presumably by the business). Been coming to this gym consistently for a year averaging 3-5 days per week since April 25, 2023 per recommendations from a couple friends. I decided to cancel my membership and leave quietly since my annual contract is ending soon but after today's experience with the owner I gotta air out my grievances. I had a friend visiting from out of state and I decided to bring him with me to the gym to work out together the 2 days he was staying with me with guest passes. He's into Olympic lifting. Snatches, clean and jerks, the works. We were working out separately because I follow a bodybuilding regime and at some point I saw the owner go up to my friend and the conversation looked serious so I walked up to see what was going on. Much to my dismay he was getting pretty aggressive at my boy and straight up being disrespectful. My friend had to eject out of the bottom of a snatch and dropped the weights on the platform (with bumper plates). The owner was shouting at him and insinuating that he slammed the weights on purpose and saying he's going to kick him out and threatened to cancel his membership on the spot (lol) if it happens again and he doesn't want to hear any excuse from him. Using hyperbole and saying things like "I felt the entire complex shaking when I was on the phone by the front desk" and "I've known guys come here with 500lbs on their deadlift and they're quiet and don't make a sound." Which is straight up a lie because I have SEEN and HEARD people slam heavy weights at the gym myself. My friend calmly tries to explain to him it wasn't on purpose and the lift was sketchy so he had to eject. The owner isn't even listening and continues to shout and starts to go on a power trip saying "you know I'm the owner right?" As if that gives him an excuse to be hella disrespectful and be rude about it? I understand if the noise is a problem and the gym is on the second floor. It was the FIRST time he had to drop the weight. If the owner just told him to be careful and watch the noise and ended it at that it wouldn't have been a problem and I would understand him being heated if my friend was doing repeated offenses but he was already going to lower the weight anyways afterwards without having someone all up in his face telling him how "he needs a spotter" and "just go lighter don't lift heavy" bro. Anyone who has an ounce of Olympic Lifting knows YOU DO NOT SPOT THESE LIFTS. They are ballistic and dynamic in nature and the whole point is the lifter safely fails out of the lift if necessary, which is exactly what my friend did ONE TIME. Then he tries to shake our hands asking for our names so what, he can go look us up in the system? I just don't think he needed to be so aggressive about it. It completely ruined the mood and we left without even finishing our workouts. My membership ends in 8 days but I won't even use the rest of it. I refuse to go back to a gym with someone like that at the helm. Also be wary that equipment maintenance can be pretty dicey. The assisted pull up machine has been broken since 4-5 months ago and I've asked three times about it since that time, each time getting the same response of "it takes a while to get the parts to fix it." Almost half a year of the machine being broken? Really? The rear pec fly machine doesn't even latch the right side pin in securely and one time it popped out mid set. The bilateral pulldown machine next to the water fountains has so much rust built up in the seat adjustment pin it's an absolute pain to adjust it. The Cybex leg press machine's weight adjustment dial doesn't even work to increase by 15lbs because the dial is partly broken. Honestly I can tolerate malfunctioning equipment to an extent, but 4-5 months and still being broken on the assisted pull up machine is just ridiculous. Zach and the other staff do a

As one of the original members of this gym, I highly recommend IMP Fitness. Joe and his staff are all friendly, they keep the beverage and supplement dispensers well stocked, and they are very responsive to emails. Great selection of cardio equipment. Multiple rows of machines and racks of dumbbells for all levels of fitness. Ample parking close to the entrance. And the best feature -- they are open 24/7. Give them a try - you won't be disappointed.

Trained there for a decade. Great gym with a solid amount of resistance equipment. The staff is very friendly and Zach is a great dude, very knowledgable. During Covid Joe the owner kept the place immaculate and seem to have people cleaning it every morning. As someone who has trained for 30+ years in a dozen different gyms across the country one of the cleanest and well kept facilities Ive seen. Very convenient and always open! Enjoyed my time there thoroughly.
