The Worx By Maia

You really feel like family. The Trainers take the time to learn your name and encourage you before, during and after class. The classes are TOUGH but doable, regardless of your fitness level.

I attended my first class here last Saturday (9÷26÷2015) as the start of a 21 day trial for $ 21 bucks. I didn’t exactly know what it would entail and lo and behold, I was attending an hour long Insanity class.
While completely freaking out on the inside, I am sure I kept a cool exterior. I shrugged, thought, «Let’s Do This,» and gave it all I had. I’m still sore today, 3 days later. It’s not the «Crossfit can’t walk right for days» kind of sore though, it’s the type of sore that let’s you know you did what your body was meant to do. The class was highly engaging, you were free to modify the moves as needed, and each move was demonstrated thoroughly.
I’m going back today for bootcamp!
Relli was an outstanding instructor. I highly recommend this gym. I think I have found my home for the next 6 months!!!

Wasn’t sure what to expect from the Worx but it was an A+ experience.
The gym staff is very friendly and Maia led us through a basic Worx class… and works is definitely what they do and we also did cardio too. Needless to say, it was a very intense and FUN hour!
The trainers were upbeat and positive. Loved the focus that the staff placed on incremental improvement e.g., being better tomorrow than today, rather than being a current master of the activity. Another refreshing difference was the team environment and team spirit — I loved the team focus and team including each participant in the training — not just the training staff.
Thank you Worx for creating such an inspiring and motivation environment.

I went to a Unilocal Event at the The Worx By Maia on 5÷17÷15.
I am a bit of gym rat and was familiar with some of the activities (e.g. TRX, burpees) that Maia (the owner), trainers and her volunteers (for the event) had me do. That being said the work out introduced me to some new activities (I had seen but had never done) like pushing a very large tire or swinging ropes.
The gym is very convenient to where I live (and happy Unilocal introduced me to it). I liked the fact that the gym offers in addition to traditional circuit training other classes like P9X (which I plan on trying at a later date).
The gym is in an industrial area which is perfect for this «cross fit like» gym. Parking is also plentiful; and, although I did not take the metro I think you could walk to it from the station.
I can’t speak to this personally from what it means to be enrolled in one of their programs but from what I saw and experienced at the Unilocal event; it is a great gym if you’re new to fitness or are working to lose weight.
It is a very supportive environment (which you could tell from the trainer I worked with (e.g. we got high fives everytime we completed a circut). The personalization and variety of the circuit training (exercises) was also very good.
The majority of the cardio activities are not done on equipment but rather using your own body (e.g. running in place, suicides). As an individual who is into fitness, I think this is really great. Although equipment is useful, a lot of people will use not having equipment as an excuse for not working out. I loved when Maia said «the goal is to just keep moving». I truly believe in this. (I am that person who will park further away from a store to force myself to walk and get some exercise.)
In a nutshell a really good gym with motivating staff that challenges you and keeps you accountable when it comes to incorporating exercise into your daily routine.

By far the best 30min workout in the city! Love the staff and the price can’t be beat. This is a great facility with staff truly dedicated and interested in your health and physical well being.

A girlfriend suggested I join her for a bootcamp-​like workout session at the Worx because her boyfriend was teaching the Tuesday evening class.
I was a bit skeptical at first, having gone to a different «bootcamp» gym in Fairfax a few months ago which ended up being the most useless session of my life.
But not the case here. They really challenge and push you to your limits for the one hour that you’re there. There are people of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds but everyone is equally motivated/​hard working – making the environment so fun and pleasant! It makes the workout less intimidating and you go at your own pace to do the best that YOU can. There is no judgment and down talk here. The teacher and other coaches really guide you to ensure that your technique/​form is correct so that you stay on the right track. The actual session was split into six stations of alternating group work so everyone motivates and encourages one another and the variations of the different workout stations allows you to really target different areas of your body. They also play really good, upbeat music which is an added bonus. Your first class is free and if you bring three friends, you get three classes for free. I believe it’s $ 5 per session, but they also have monthly plans available. They have class times in the morning, afternoon, and evenings to cater to everyone’s needs.
A good challenge, positive and friendly people makes for a great workout environment– I surely had a great time!

Going to the Worx is probably the best thing that could had happen to me. I joined the Worx family in December 2014, at first I would go here and there but really wasn’t eating right. I talked to Maia about it and she suggested I do the 60 day journey, where you change your way of eating and are held accountable for what you eat and how many times you show up. Best decision of my life! I quickly saw how much I had mistreated my body! Now I’m on the road to a better me! This place pushes you to the limit and every class is a challenge! Every single person there will motivate you and help you achieve your goals! Come in and see what you can do!

It only took 3 classes for me to realize that coming to the Worx is the best move I’ve made to better myself in a very long time. When my friend asked me to check it out with her I immediately googled the place and felt like I would be too intimidated by the intense workouts. But I signed up and went anyways. I’m glad to say I was dead wrong. I have never worked out in such an intense yet supportive environment.
After struggling for years to get the motivation to lose weight I walked out last night almost in tears because I was so proud of myself and because it felt so good to be in a room full of people high fiving me and helping me get through. After the first class the instructors and owner already remembered my name and it was pretty cool to hear them calling it out and supporting me when I was on the verge of giving up.
Now don’t get me wrong, the classes at this place are TOUGH! Its no sissy workout! But its hard in a great way. If you are a long time couch potato like myself you will sweat like never before and probably think you’re about to die, but the feeling of pride you get the second it’s over makes it all worth while.
I highly recommend the Worx if you are serious about reclaiming your health and body.

Maia is such an awesome coach. She’s built a team of likeminded, true hearted, caring people willing not only to work out beside you, but keep you on track and stay motivated. I feel like I’m hanging out with friends at the Worx. Thank you Maia, and thank you team!

I’ve been attending The Worx for 3 days in a row and I’ve completed about 5 classes. I love how the people in class and trainers set an amazing atmosphere. It’s encouraging and positive so it keeps you motivated to challenge yourself and keep on pushing to reach your goal (s). It’s guaranteed that you can get the results you need as long as you put in the work.
I also love the schedule, it’s very fitting if you work, there are early classes and evening classes. Everyone is also very friendly, the trainers/​coaches manage to know you personally– which i truly appreciate. You won’t regret coming here :)

My fitness journey started when a friend’s seven year old daughter asked me if I was pregnant. There and then I knew I would have to do something about losing those extra pounds I had gained around my belly by eating chocolates all the time. Going to the gym and jogging started to bore me in 2 weeks. I knew I needed something exciting and fun to keep me motivated and that was when a friend introduced me to Worx which turned out to become a part of my life later.
I started going to The Worx in October 2011. I went there to try out a workout but little did I know that I was about to change my life around. I have not only looked better by working out with the Worx family, I have met and made friends forever. I was challenged there every time but the support from Maia and my friends/​coaches has given me the strength to get through the challenges and be where I am today – a different person, a better person, stronger than ever. I have moved away from the Worx for over five months and have tried other workout studios, but nothing can beat this place.
If you live in Northern Virginia and find yourself at a suitable distance from The Worx, consider yourself lucky and go ahead and try out the variety of workouts they have to offer. If you are serious about changing your life around in 2015 then this is the place to start.

If you want results then this place is for you. From TRX to Tough WorX there is a program for you. Built off a HIIT base The Worx gives you the toughest workout with the greatest results while changing up from day to day to keep the work out fresh.
This place is based on the principal of «doing you». Meaning you get in there and go as hard as you can but rest when you need to. This way your ALWAYS giving 100%.
Also, if you’re looking for a dose of motivation just drop in and you’ll be sure to get what you need from any one of the coaches teaching. I always manage to leave feeling way more motivated then when I came in.
To sum it up, go to a class. Sweat out the evil of the day. You’ll see what I’m talking about. AROOOO!!!

I’ve been with The Worx since June 2011 and you couldn’t pay me to leave. Before The Worx, I had no accountability to do at home workouts or go to a gym. The Worx taught me about accountability when it came to working out. Now, its always penciled into my schedule. I plan my schedule around The Worx! I came a long way from when I started. If I could do it, anyone can! I stayed accountable with a program The Worx’s offers called, «The Journey.» I recommend it for anyone who needs accountability and motivation to work out at least x4/​week! It’s all about consistency!
Since June 2011, I lost the weight I wanted to lose, but after I did. I stayed, because it’s my «happy place.» After a long day, I come to The Worx to unwind… get an awesome workout in, and get my mind right for the next day! All the classes they offer are awesome, but my favorites are Bootcamp, TRX, and ToughWorx. The Worx is a wonderful community where they all motivate and inspire you. Each member and instructor has something special about them that adds to the Worx community. I’ve been with them for a number years for just that. The Worx motivates you to get out of your comfort zone. It’s not about anyone else, but you! That’s what they strive for — they motivate you to be the best version of you. YOU deserve it, so «you do you!»

The Worx really works! I reached my weight loss goal after 4 months and I tightened up and became strong. I feel great and plan to continue the Worx as a permanent lifestyle choice. Thanks Worx team!

The Worx is the only gym where I have been able to stay motivated. The team and the people overall are very supportive. It’s like a big family! The environment is great, and you will want to push yourself. The energy and determination is contagious!

If you’re looking for a fitness home that is friendly and homey, yet challenging… the WorX is for you. Maia and all the coaches/​instructors will push you to do your best. Classes are never boring because they always change it up — tabata, HIIT, TRX, ToughWorx, bootcamp, weight training – you name it, they got it.
I love the WorX because it definitely tests my limits. I’ve tried home workout videos, and if a move looked too complicated or difficult, I just wouldn’t do it. At the WorX, I am encouraged and motivated to try new things without being intimidated or judged.
Honestly, the coaches/​instructors believed in me even before I believed in myself!
Joining the WorX was the best thing I’ve ever done for ME. I consider it a priceless investment for my health and future. Maia offers a free week of fitness to newcomers! I suggest you come try it for yourself. After each workout you’ll leave feeling like a million bucks!

What a great motivator! I discovered The Worx by Maia when driving past Landmark Mall a few summer’s ago and saw the P90X billboard for her classes. I thought I might as well give it a try. She is so nice and very encouraging. Her classes have a great vibe and she has lovely instructors as well. Don’t worry about feeling unknown, out of place, or think that you can’t do it. You can! And the folks at the Worx will help you. They recently moved over to this location on Eisenhower near the metro. Trust me, you’ll love it!

The Worx is the most fun, supportive gym anyone could ask for. Maia and the team have helped me stay focused on my goals so I have been motivated to stick with the program. Classes are challenging and I always leave feeling accomplished. Most importantly, The Worx is an amazing community and it’s always the best hour of my day.

I LOVE The Worx! I recently moved to Texas, and I miss it dearly. Maia and all of the fabulous coaches are motivating, inspiring and working hard for you to reach your goals. You won’t find another gym like it anywhere in the DMV. Do a Journey and see results!
