Comments on: Strictly Scuttlebutt – Results Gym on U Street to be Replaced by another High End Gym in 2011 http://www.princeofpetworth.com/2009/11/strictly-scuttlebutt-results-gym-on-u-street-to-be-replaced-by-another-high-end-gym-in-2011/ Welcome to the beautiful life Fri, 10 Feb 2012 03:05:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: ZZinDC http://www.princeofpetworth.com/2009/11/strictly-scuttlebutt-results-gym-on-u-street-to-be-replaced-by-another-high-end-gym-in-2011/#comment-141974 ZZinDC Sat, 28 Nov 2009 19:23:41 +0000 http://www.princeofpetworth.com/?p=8994#comment-141974 AH - the rooftop pool! Talk about being late to the party - that was a big promise made by Results when it first opened on U St, back in... 1995(?) - it was 'still in the works' for a couple of years, before it was finally dropped. I always doubted it could be pulled off but maybe Vida's membership fees can support it. In any case, I wouldn't be joining Vida for the pool, until I saw actual construction begun.

So sign me up if there's a new pool, but don't charge over $75 a month.

It's no more expensive than Results and marginally more than WSC. Rooftop pool? I'm switching locations too! I wouldn’t call Vida a “high-end” gym.

This included comments on a roof top pool. Results is supposedly relocating in the U St corridor. I am sorry that the Vida owner closed down the cafe in the building. I don't like dark retail space. Vida owns Bang Salon, Vida and the building at 1612 U St NW and is also owner of the Capital Brewing Company (or whatever the proper name is).

Even the people I know who have a lot of money complain about how much these places cost and how they're not really worth it. Are high-end gyms really capable of being successful in this town?
