New Gym Opens in Tysons Corner

By Alex McVeigh

Whether you're a longtime fitness enthusiast or trying to maintain your New Year's Resolution into February and beyond, there's a new option in Tysons Corner, the recently opened Crunch Fitness.

With a philosophy of "No Judgments," Crunch Fitness aims to provide a workout experience that keeps people on their toes, but also feel welcome every time they set foot in the gym.

"Our goal is to deliver the ultimate fitness experience to every member, every time. That means not only a welcoming atmosphere, but a clean facility, clean locker rooms, the staff knowing your name," said Kirk Galiani, co-CEO of US Fitness. 

One of their most popular pieces of equipment is the MotionCage, which contains different pieces of equipment at every edge and corner, from trampolines to bounce medicine balls, TRX suspension training and other exercises that can often only be found in gyms designed for professional athletes.

"We're big on making sure your workout doesn't get stale, which means we've got a wide variety of machines and features on the cardio equipment like television and iPod hookups," Galiani said. 

Crunch’s classes include standards like Zumba and spin, but also newer ones like barre and Surfset, where participants strengthen their core and balance by using a surf-board style device.

"It's easy to get bored on a workout plan, which is why we have such a vast variety of equipment, which makes it very easy to change up your routine," Pappalardo said. "One of our popular programs is our Fast Fit 20 minute circuit that we have right in front that has 10 machines. It's easy and it's fast. We're finding that people can stop in for a quick workout in the morning especially with the circuit. Doing that a few days a week is definitely a good game plan."

Crunch Fitness in Tysons Corner is located at 8371 Leesburg Pike, Vienna, and can be found online and on Facebook.
