Fitness Near You
Fitness classes are everywhere, maybe even right around the corner from you.
So for anyone who has been following my adventures around the area exploring ways to get fit, you have probably realized that, although I go to a particular class at a particular place, that class may be held in many various gyms or fitness centers. So here’s a recap of where we’ve been so far with some of the various places you can find those classes being offered.
Way back at the beginning, I tried a Spinning class for the first time, at the Sharron Baucom Dale City Recreation Center. You can also find Spinning or cycling classes at:
- Sport & Health Clubs in Dale City or Woodbridge
- Chin Aquatics and Fitness Center (including an “intro to cycling” class)
- Bally Total Fitness in Woodbridge
When I tried out yoga, the Dale City Recreation Center was giving a free month of classes and offering multiple levels of yoga. More yoga can be found at:
- World Gym in Dale City
- Powerhouse Gym in Woodbridge
- Chin Aquatics and Fitness Center (including a “gentle yoga”)
Body Pump is a very specific barbell exercise class. There are other weight training classes available at many gyms, but Body Pump specifically can be found:
- Powerhouse Gym in Woodbridge
- Gold’s Gym in Woodbridge
- Sport & Health Clubs in Dale City or Woodbridge
There are several places you can find a Jazzercise class besides the Woodbridge Elks Lodge where I took it. You can check out the Jazzercise website to search for one near you. Here’s a few I found.
Core Fusion was specific to the Dale City Recreation Center, but other core/abs classes are available:
- Chin Aquatics and Fitness Center
- Powerhouse Gym in Woodbridge
- Gold’s Gym in Woodbridge
Pilates is pretty popular and can be found many places. A few I found were:
- Bally Total Fitness in Woodbridge
- Gold’s Gym in Woodbridge
- Sport & Health Clubs in Dale City or Woodbridge
Another very popular class (and no surprise!); some places offer almost nothing but Zumba. Beyond the Sport & Health, it can also be found:
- World Gym in Dale City
- Sharron Baucom Dale City Recreation Center
- Chin Aquatics and Fitness Center (including a “Zumba Kick”)
The Boot Camp I went to was led by two personal trainers trying to help people “Get Fit for Christ.” But there are a few other boot camp style workouts in the area. I was only able to find two, but let me know if you find more!
- Powerhouse Gym in Woodbridge
- Sharron Baucom Dale City Recreation Center
I only found Tae Bo specifically at the Woodbridge Sport & Health Club. But there are other cardio-boxing inspired classes available:
- TurboKick at Powerhouse Gym in Woodbridge
- Kickboxing at Bally Total Fitness in Woodbridge
- Kick it Up at Chin Aquatics and Fitness Center
The Dale City Recreation Center seems to have the market on TRX classes in the area. I couldn’t find one being held anywhere else in the area. Tell me in the comments if you know of other places that host it.
