Herndon Community Center

The Kid Zone (Wednesday AM) is excellent time for toddlers to run around, kick balls, jump of squishy stuff, and engage with other tots. The staff is always super nice!

My Toddler is enrolled in the Happy Feet soccer class for ages 2 – 3 years old. She loves Coach Jeff but I wish the room it was held in was larger. Having the kids plus their parents in there can be pretty cram. I can understand why the basketball court would be too big for toddlers to pay attention in but the activity rooms are just too small. The center is clean and the renovated playground is very nice. The front desk could use some perking up as they do not seem friendly or enthusiastic about being there. The pool is small and the gym is cram. It looks like it’s stocked with outdated equipment. Otherwise, we’re enjoying the Happy Feet class but would much rather take swimming lessons at Claude Moore since the pool is bigger and has more to do.

I had expectations of this place and then I visited. The desk attendant was rude to me and it was the first time I had been there. Then I went back to the gym and was shocked at how small it was. I have been a member to many gyms in the area and was not happy about this place. The machines are about 20+ years outdated, extremely cramped around each other and there were only 3 treadmills… There was also no music playing. It was very awkward. Not going back!

I haven’t used the other facilities but the classes are great and very cheap, especially if you live in Herndon. The Toining Barre class is particularly great.

It’s a community center in a relatively affluent looking area.
The gym is decently appointed as is the pool.
There are courses offered in all sorts of interests, from yoga to guitar.
Needs a bit of sprucing up, though.
Used it for a quick shower after landing at Dulles as it’s only 5 miles away. I landed at 6 am and was only getting to my final destination at 7 pm, so it suited me perfectly.
Memo: bring towels.

Very good place for exercising. The staff is very friendly.
The pool is a marvel and a delight. You know how hard to find a decent lap swimming place these days.
I have visited this place for more than a year and have no complaints about it at all.

Taking a hula hoop dance class so I haven’t experienced the rest of the facilities, the classes are great, the classroom/​basketball courts seem nice, there is good audio in the classrooms and I love the bright windows. I’ve walked around and the tennis courts seem great, they also host a large variety of events and classes.
I like the drive and I always feel calm after going. Will definitely look into other classes and potentially a membership.

Strictly a review on the workout area (gym) and nothing else.
I’ve had a few yearly passes to the Herndon community center. I used to get them because of the gym. since my mom has been a member for over 10 years, I would also get a yearly pass as it was convenient and I didn’t know any better.
The gym stinks. It is outdated, small, and doesn’t have enough machines. If you’re paying $ 400 for a yearly pass, you expect a little more from a gym. I get that the price includes the use of the locker rooms and swimming pool, however, that is all. You still have to pay extra for the classes and the badminton courts.
After feeling like I’ve been getting screwed, this summer I started looking for a new gym. I found one close enough to my house that was brand new. It was still under construction when i first joined which wasn’t ideal but who cares? $ 23 a month for a year that includes free classes cannot be beaten! New equipment, very friendly staff, great prices, and two story gym is amazing!
I will NEVER go back to the Herndon community Center after knowing how a gym should really look.

They said in our contract that we’d have time to set up before our party, but then they booked a birthday party in the room up until our time.
The whole place just seems overly crowded with shady characters and looks outdated and dirty. I guess it’s a decent value if you need a room for something, but they obviously are not very organized, and it’s not really state-​of-​the-​art or that nice or anything.

This is the best community center I have seen in Northern Virginia. Staff are nice at the front desk and the place seems clean and spacious. Prices are reasonable also.

I visted HCC when I signed my infant up for a Mommy & Me swim class. I was impressed with how large the locker rooms were, there are plenty of showers, lockers, and changing rooms. They even have a Family Locker Room as children over the age of 5 are not allowed in the locker room of the opposite sex. The pool is pretty large and there is an extensive «training pool» area for the little ones. The center itself is huge and hosts a variety of activities including preschool, a teen center, summer camp, and other classes for adults and children. There’s a decent sized fitness center with cardio equipment and weights, and a drop-​off childcare center so you can leave your kids and work out in peace. The only downside is that if you don’t live in the «Town of Herndon,» you have to pay a little extra.

$ 6.25 for a day pass, its hard to beat that. If you live in Herndon its only $ 5, but personally you would need to pay me a lot more that $ 1.25 to live in Herndon (but then I don’t drive a minivan and don’t have a child who is a honor student in some-​elementary-​school-​name-​here).
I’ve used the gym here few times. They have all the basic in free weights — barbells, dumbbells, benches, smith machine, and a cable machine. They also have the full set of fixed equipment also. There also seem to be plenty of the cardio stuff for those who like to run/​bike/​ellipsis indoors (the WO&D is right outside also).
The locker rooms are clean (well the guy’s is, they wouldn’t let me inspect the ladies even after I told them I was a Unilocal reviewer — maybe if I was elite :). You’ll need two quarters to use the locker (conveniently included in the $.75 change that happens off a $ 6.25 door fee).
They also have a 25 yard pool, basketball, tennis (including cover), and racquetball courts. They also do classes. Heck of a lot of stuff for six and change. Its all listed on their website (which I’ve added to the description).
