I go there and enjoy it! I recommend scheduling their free visit, it was what helped me ultimately decide. They are currently remodeling, but the actual gym area is essentially untouched and it's mostly only the administration area that's under construction.

The gym itself is really clean and when I visit around 10AM-2PM everything I want to use is typically available with space to spare. Not sure how it is around peak times, I'm currently WFH and try to avoid the 5PM crowd. The crowd is mostly men, and I've had no issues with people being creepy or having poor gym etiquette. The classes have also had great atmospheres, and I haven't felt awkward even when being terrible at Zumba. Easy to schedule your position using the app, and most classes are free with membership.

That said it's definitely on the pricier side and stuff like the juice bar, apparel, and personal training are all similarly expensive. I don't use any of that cause of how crazy the membership already is. You really are paying for the "status" of going to VIDA, and if all you want to do is work out there are better priced places I'm sure. You do get access to all locations and U street is the nicest, but be aware you don't get access to the rooftop pool unless you pay even more $$$.
