Livingwell Health Club ADA

About

The Livingwell Health Club, located at 1919 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC, is associated with the facilities of the Washington Hilton. It offers a well-equipped fitness center with cardio and weight training equipment for various workout needs. The club also boasts a large seasonal outdoor heated swimming pool and tennis courts, providing options for both indoor exercise and outdoor recreational activities. The 'ADA' in its name suggests a commitment to accessibility for all patrons.

The health club features a large seasonal outdoor swimming pool that is heated for guest comfort. While an exact, constantly published temperature is not typically available for general hotel pools, heated recreational pools of this type are generally maintained at a comfortable temperature, typically ranging between 80-85°F (27-29°C) during its operational season.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? This fitness center receives mixed reviews. Positives include friendly staff, a pleasant environment, and a highly praised, excellent, and heated pool, which is a significant draw for swimmers. The gym, shared with hotel guests, generally offers adequate equipment, and cardio machines are not often full, though an occasional wait or broken equipment was noted. However, several critical issues are raised, notably the lack of day passes or the ability to try the facility before committing to a year-long membership. One highly negative review describes a chaotic atmosphere with loud cell phone use, screaming children, wet floors from the pool area, and dirty dressing rooms, with the manager being unhelpful and the facility being more expensive than competitors. Despite some operational issues, many value the community and the standout pool facilities.

If you like to work out while people are making personal, loud calls on their cell phones, screaming children are running near your workout machines, the floors are wet from swimmers from the pool area nearby, and the dressing rooms are dirty and full of used towels, this is the place for you! I have been a member at this terrible place, which charges 30 percent more than nearby fitness centers, for a year and the chaos never ends. The manager said much of the chaos, such as cell phone use, is hotel policy and he cannot do anything. (It was unclear if the screaming children running around were also part of Hilton hotel policy.) And when I complained, he offered to cancel my membership rather than address the issues. Apparently, Living Well supplies fitness centers for Hilton hotels. Read the other bad reviews at other locations. But don’t complain because you might be expelled. What they don’t understand is that this is a legal issue. The conditions are harmful to peoples’ health — a bit ironic for a company called “Living Well”

How weird. You have to get a membership and they don't offer day passes. I wonder how much money these business owners are losing by not having guest passes. But whatever, it's their business. They're just not getting mine in a bunch of other people wanna lay out by the pool or swim. How do you even know if you wanna be a member if you can't even use the facility?it one time?

Super friendly staff make this a great environment. The pool is excellent, even heated so it's open until end of October. Gym is shared between hotel guests and local members, but the cardio machines aren't full too often. An extra treadmill wouldn't hurt, but when I do have to wait it's not too long. All in all a great community.

Pleasant & smallish fitness club that has everything most anyone needs. Some equipment is broken and you do have to commit to a year. Signup was very quick & easy. I go during off-peak times so I can’t comment on how busy it gets during peak hours.

Pool! Pool! Pool! A typical but larger hotel gym inside Hilton (open to the public too). If you are a swim person, you just can't afford to pass it up. they have a fabulous pool (don't be deceived by Vida Fitness/U St's facade & shills on Yelp, they're overpriced yet mediocre). 5 stars if they open till 11pm.
