Vida, Washington, District of Columbia Restaurant Details

Food:

This is a pretty good gym with lots of equipment to use. I Love the fact, that they keep it very clean. The cleaning crew works very hard to make this happen. The gym can get a crowded from 4:30 until 7:30. So avoid those hours if you can. Most of the members here are super nice. Except for a few creeps. Ever since I joined they made a big improvement by adding a small divider between showers. There is still a small gap that can and should be completely closed. If this happens i would give this gym a 5 star

This Vida is an experience. As a gym, it is fine if a little cramped. They also tend to move the equipment around often, constantly trying to make the best use of the space and somehow making the place feel more cramped/confusing. It has all the equipment you need for a standard assisted workout - definitely not a crossfit or power lifter space (which I prefer). Tons of cardio equipment and of different varieties. The men's locker room is very sketchy and as of this writing it is the only Vida not to install dividers to prevent the reflective walls in the shower. Overall a decent gym. Definitely expensive though. And poor cell phone reception (so don't plan on doing your conference calls while you work out!)

Food:

Sexy gym! How can a gym be sexy you ask? Well first, I feel sexy when I am there! Not to mention look better after I leave;) The classes are amazing and I recommend the Sensao- the Brazilian cardio dance class that will have you sweating like you are running through a tropical rainforest or iRide- the cycling class with amazing EDM music & strobe lights that makes me feel like I am clubbing in Ibiza. The best part for me is the locker room. That spa-sized steam room & sauna coupled with custom-made spa grade toiletries and warm towel service have officially replaced my trips to spa world. Plus I can wear my favorite mask in the steam room at this location since it is not co-ed and I dont have to worry about scaring some young fella!

I joined VIDA Metropole after moving closer to 14th St; formerly I'd been a member of WSC Dupont/Downtown at 1300 Connecticut. While VIDA's membership dues are twice that of WSC, it's unfortunately not nearly worth the premium. The cardio area has a low ceiling and is poorly ventilated. Treadmills are often out of order, with broken TV/cable. The manager, Michel, has complained to me that the brand of treadmill preferred by me and a number of other members (LifeFitness) "costs hm too much money to repair" so he's stocking up on (IMO, less comfortable) Precor models. And why does it have to try so hard to be clubby instead of a normal, well-lit gym? My secret wish is for WSC to open a new branch on 14th Street so I can jump ship from VIDA!
