Aquatic and Fitness Center - Fairfax, Virginia

Great Olympic sized competition pool ( open hours are scarce but pretty clean ), good recreation pool. Locker rooms are pretty decent and clean. Gym is average, some weights and equipment seem to be getting old and rusty . If you have a membership, Id recommend the RAC, they have newer equipment and weights). Overall good.

I am taking away one star because of the negative and very disrespectful attitude of the young Asian women who is at the front desk some mornings during the fall 2024 semester. The girl is outright RUDE. How this condescending behavior is tolerated is bewildering considering she is a front desk person. She is a very big contrast from all the other employees. They are all very nice. The facility is always clean. The showers do not get warm at all but aside from that and this nasty girl everything else is great and I love working out here every morning. It does get VERY crowed with teams and students constantly coming to work out. Usually people are considerate and share the equipment or don’t stay on it for long periods with the exception of an inconsiderate person here and there. All in all I highly recommend this facility and GMU as a whole. This girl needs to be retrained or replaced!

Update: she told me that I could not bring a foldable electric scooter inside. Keep in mind people walk around campus all the time with them. It is smaller and slimmer and lighter than my gym bag. I asked why? She said it is just policy and it is not up to her and that I can’t bring it in. I actually read the policy before going that morning. There is NOTHING mentioned about electric scooters being banned. Only food, drink, attire and behaviour are mentioned. I pulled it out on my phone and asked her to show me where it says that a rechargeable electric device is not allowed? She then tells me I can go in this time, as if she were doing me a favor and says she won’t let me in with it the next time. I thanked her and asked her name. My intention was to diffuse tension between her and I. She tells me her name and says “I read your review and you are the one who was rude. You had your bag in the way and people were trying to check in”. I had my bag next to me on my left side. The people had ample room to check in as there are two check in stations. Anyway I told her I disagreed that I was rude and that I thought her and I should limit our interactions. She is a confrontational person and I am not. Updating this because google asked me to after I put it into my GPS and taking a second star away!

A person also asked for further information about my experience and I asked she be educated instead of dismissed or punished. She is better served correcting her behaviour than just losing a job!

Great modern facilities with three pools and accompanying services. the campus is gorgeous with plenty of green spaces hikes and trees. There are even very nice small streams but Also plenty of parking space for large events. There is a good and fairly priced cafeteria. The only thing is that it is a good 40 minutes away from the city which makes it a bit of a commute but also very quiet and Serene.

A very popular place for workouts and water sports at Gorge Mason - the facility is extremely well maintained. The staff and lifeguards are dedicated and friendly.

This gym is very nice very helpful staff. They have two stories and there is a very large selection of equipment. This gym is amazing because of the staff that is very helpful. I go here multiple times a week. Very great and clean gym. Defiantly recommend!!!

Disappointed by their bizarre July 2024 hours. Big bummer for my wife and I who have been going consistently at a certain time/day only for the pool to be closed during that time (3:30 PM on Tuesdays).

Amazing experience with the pool and stuff. Only requirement is the Mason ID to enter. Floating devices are free to use. A life guard is always present monitoring the place. There is a big 4 feet pool, a sauna and a hot whirlpool
