The Equinox is clean, has great equipmet, friendly greeting staff, and hightl competent trainers. Bill Dougherty, a Level 3 Master Trainer, is world class.

Best, Bernie Fisken

Crunch of Chevy Chase is not on your list but it should be. This place is terrific. Not only is it much less expensive than other gyms, but it's clean, the staff is very friendly, the class schedule is awesome, and the teachers are fantastic.

How could you leave ZenGo in Bethesda off your list of favorite local workout spots? It has high-end indoor cycling classes that are amazing! You get a great cardio, strength training and core development workout. The instructors are unbelievable and its the best part of my day!

The Go Figure Studio in Park Potomac needs to be on the list! This unqiue hybrid method combines the best of Pilates, yoga, ballet, and orthopedic exercises to build strength, increase flexibility, and truly change your body.

Zengo Fitness is the best new workout in town!!! Why isn't it on the list? The cycling classes are amazing! All of the instructors are all incredibly talented. After one class at Zengo, you'll never take another spinning class at your local health club.

How is ZenGo not on this list? It is by far the best place to work out in Bethesda!! I have been going since early December and have seen amazing results. The classes and instructors are amazing! You are not going to get an accurate poll without adding ZenGo!!!!

I agree - why didn't they include ZenGo? Its the most welcoming/challenging environment I have ever experienced. Everyone is so friendly and helpful and the space is gorgeous.

Ifit Bootcamp which takes place in Norwood Park. Billy Isola has been teaching bootcamp classes for more than 20 years and his program is the best boot camp out there.

Thanks for your write-in votes everyone! We will tabulate these as well, so make sure to tell your friends to come vote!

Don't forget the WSC at 6828 Wisconsin Avenue in Bethesda.

You're missing the Washington Sports Club on Wisc Ave & Bradley--that's my favorite place b/c they have a pool built right into the membership! And everything is sooo clean and wonderful in there.. plus, the staff is friendly and fun. the best gym I've ever belonged to! :)

So many places are missing from your list unfortunately. Where are Balance, ZenGo, Chic Physique, Fusion Yoga, Bikram Yoga Bethesda? What's your definition of workout spots?

Trying to vote for CrossFit Bethesda but the link takes me to Equinox!!

Zengo Fitness on Cordell Avenue in Bethesda - Best all around workout in the area. Cycling and Barre classes - awesome instructors and great owners.

Jacki Sorensen's Fitness Classes which offers Aerobic Dancing & StrongStep classes are in Chevy Chase, DC. Please check us out! http://www.jackis.com/ My Facebook Fan page gives more information: http://www.facebook.com/JackisDC

Just left one of the gyms on your list to spend more time at ZenGo Fitness. Why is that not on the list? Absolutely the best workouts around! Cycling is addictive and the barre classes are great too.

ZenGo Fitness in Bethesda is the best! Amazing total body work out with even better instructors and owners!! This should be at the top of your list!!

ZenGo Fitness in Bethesda should be added to your list! Incredible workout, body and mind!

Life Time Fitness in Rockville MD is the Place to be! They incororate everything you need to achieve an incredible and thorough mind and body workout. I love they they take the time to help others learn about the nutritional benefits to help move along the process in truly living healthy. They have the best instructors, the top of the line equipment, and the best programs when it comes to health and fitness center. Life Time Fitness should really be added to the list!!

Rock creek sports club is my favorite. It has a very friendly atmosphere. It is very convenient to get to and has much free parking. It has classes and workout equipment for every interest.

Caryl Raport's pilates reformer classes at Precision Health and Fitness is the best workout around. You would be amazed at the how fit the people who take her class have become. Those that have been taking it with Caryl for several years have the strength and fitness level of people at least 10 - 15 years younger. If you want a great workout that is different each time you take it (never boring), try out Caryl's class...You won't be sorry.

I can't believe you didn't list Lifetime Fitness in Rockville: It's larger than any you have listed;, has more classes, the price is right; large parking lot; no fee for parking; more classes; excellent instructors; more machines, if that's what you want; immaculate; beauty salon; sauna and hot tub; cafeteria. What's not to like?

ZenGo on Cordell Avenue is hands down the best ... it's led by a fantastic group of people, has an energetic and enthusiastic environment and you get an addictive and invigorating workout second to none. Thanks, marc and team!

LEVEL FITNESS in cabin john should be added to the list. an upscale full service unique fitness club located on macarthur blvd. LEVEL offers classes, personal training, yoga, pilates, spinning and so much more. LEVEL is unlike any other gym .

While it is out of the area, Parris Island, South Carolina has a work out program like no other, complete with challenges physical and mental that cannot be beat.

It will change you forever.

I love my Bethesda-Chevy Chase Ymca for the best workout facility.
All the staff is smile and so helpful, they helped me to get back to my workout routine for no time and now I feel amazing. They offer rich variety of Healthy -Living programs considered with your physical capabilities.
If you need new start, create the new for you I will strongly recommend my Y in Bethesda!

Village yoga has changed how I feel about fitness. Freddy is encouraging, supportive and motivating and the class regulars are now friends. Even better, my body looks better than it has since high school.

The Bethesda YMCA is a great place for everyone, kids and adults. And the outdoor heated swimming pool is fantastic - you can swim outside even in winter!

Y-M-C-A!!! It can't be beat, everything in one place for everyone in my family. Swimming, yoga, guitar, rockwall, outdoor polar bear swimming, adult sports leagues. My family gets it all done at our Y.

The Bethesda YMCA has the best pools, especially the outdoor pool where you're able to swim outdoors even in Winter, when the temperature is above freezing. And the Staff treats you like family - it's a great place to work out.

I love all the tv on the machines, its great it helps me workout.

Must add ZenGo fitness to the list. Best spot in Bethesda for indoor cycling. Great music, great instructors, terrific workout!

ZenGo now has a listing up in the Patch Places directory: http://bethesda.patch.com/listings/zengo-fitness. Be sure to visit the directory listing and leave a review for ZenGo!

Great aerobic classes available for no extra charge not to mention the Zumba, always full.

Definitely Zengo Fitness - it is by far the BEST workout in the area - love the environment, the music, and of course the amazing instructors and ownership!
