Its been motivating for me  4 Star Rating - Very good

I'm been going to the YMCA and just wasn't loving it. I finally got trial to the O2 Creedmoor Rd location and have had a great experience. The staff that greets me is nice, chatty, remembers me (what else could I ask for). The daycare staff is genuinely night. They remember my kids by name and welcome them in and the have a great time in there. My kids are 2 and 3 and they look forward going to the gym every day. That say a lot from my two kids.

I don't think the floor staff/trainers are all the friendly but I don't take it personally. They are working and I'm sure they don't want to just chit chat with members who are also trying to work out.

The people who work out there are not overly friendly. There seems to be a couple fo cliques that is what it is.

My only gripe about this place is the grossly overlooked rule of restacking your weights. When you are done with a machine PLEASE take your weights off! This is so beyond rude. And so far I'm seeing it several times every day. It's getting hard to keep my mouth shut!

Up Close and Personal  3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

I would agree with what I have read so far. I paid for the 24 session and I found it to be just ok but again it ready depends on the trainer and your dedication. The two trainers I had weren't that great but I have seen some very good female trainers there more then male trainers. They (males) really didn't push me and for the most part they reflexed in some way or another that they didn't want to be there. But the manager Dennis is great he will do his best to resolve any and all issues that are brought to his attention.
I've found the the evening crowed to be more friendly then going during the day as far as the classes go great and the staff great. I always feel welcome.

Better than I expected!!  5 Star Rating - World class

After reading the other reviews I decided to go ahead and check out O2 Fitness in Falls Village. The reviews made me nervous but once I step into the club I was shocked! We're they talking about the same place? The staff is friendly and extremely helpful. Just ask and anyone is available to help you out if you need it. I must say, the trainers here are outstanding... they do the most interesting workouts and are well worth the money (if you feel you need a trainer). The classes are great and instructors make you feel as if you belong! Many of the members have been long term members, going for years... definitely in shape and pleased with the club which is always good to know. I've found the members NOT snooty but friendly as well as focused on their workout. Some might call it pricey but it is definitely worth the money. Another plus is that O2Fitness handles their own billing.... which I don't know if you all have heard of clubs such as peak who have ABC financial handling their billing... what a hassle/mess that was!! Amazing atmosphere, intelligent - certified trainers, super pleasant staff and tons of new friends.

Snooty, snooty, snooty...  3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

If you have more than 5 pounds to lose, you will feel uncomfortable here. The employees are nice, but forcibly so. The members are SO snooty. I am one to always say hi and smile to everyone. If you're like this, DON'T expect the same in return. I can honestly say that no member has even so much as spoken to me.
The trainer I paid extra for is great, but don't expect help with the machines and such if you didn't purchase training sessions for a substantial cost.
The childcare is an afterthought and I only left my child there once for that reason.
The facility is nice with lots of choices, and the cost of the membership was lower than I expected it would be after seeing the place.
They will hit you with a facilities improvement fee that will probably surprise you in addition to your monthly fee.

Top Notch Facility  4 Star Rating - Very good

I expect people look for different things in a fitness center but I can't find many negatives at this facility. The staff is friendly and courteous. The decor is upscale and modern. It has a club atmosphere with individual rooms and is not one big open gym with equipment in the middle of the floor. There's a ton of equipment available. I've never found it to be crowded.

PROS: Clean, above average staff, good atmosphere for working out.
CONS: Cost a few dollars more but is worth it.

soso for a gym  3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

I think the availability of promotional specials makes it appealing. Beyond that, you will find a variety of classes, equipment, and opportunities to get fit. It is also somewhat of a meet/meat market, so just be careful. The environment is very upscale, but do not feel intimidated; rather, enjoy the surroundings and try to relax and focus. Plenty of friendly people around too that are supportive.

PROS: equipment, atmosphere
CONS: price

Over-priced and misleading  2 Star Rating - Wouldn't recommend

I should have realized they weren't really dedicated to helping people lose weight and get fit when their workout clothing selection was all size L or smaller. Without going into all the specifics, I was told things when I signed up that turned out to be untrue. I also discovered that many other gyms (with better hours and free personal training) were cheaper. "Rules" were not enforced (like men wandering around in the "women's only" area, outside food being allowed in the nursery), broken things went unrepaired. Poor experiences with staff. Except Scott Smith. He's awesome. But the rest - pffft. Perhaps they have improved, but I won't go back.

Amazing Gym!  4 Star Rating - Very good

O2 fitness is a wonderful club! The environment is elegant, and refreshing. There are not only workout machines, but classes too! The yoga and pilates studio are my favorite. Many people recommend the 30 minute Oxygen Express Workout! I would definitely check this club out if you are looking for a new gym, or even switching over from your current one!

PROS: Offers a 30 minute express workout
CONS: Expensive
