Slated for opening in 2024, VIDA Fitness will occupy approximately 50,000 square feet on three levels of 1845 Reston Row Plaza, the fourth Trophy Class office tower at Reston Station and the first building scheduled for opening in Reston Row District.

Plans for the best-in-class fitness and wellness facility include VIDA’s Penthouse Pool Club on the rooftop, featuring unrivaled views of the Reston and Tysons skylines and the Blue Ridge Mountains. VIDA’s Penthouse Pool Club will be the first rooftop pool club open to non-resident members in the Dulles Corridor. VIDA will also offer outdoor fitness classes at Reston Row’s Central Park.

The Reston Row location will feature VIDA’s signature SweatBox, a new and innovative workout experience that combines intensive cardio and strength training intervals. Additional offerings include a first-of-its-kind hyperbaric oxygen treatment and recovery center featuring IV treatments, cryotherapy, and compression therapy, as well dedicated spaces for VIDA’s signature brands: VIDA Fitness studios, Bang Salon, Aura Spa, and VIDA Pilates.

VIDA’s new Reston location will include state-of-the-art fitness machines, expert personal trainers, a spin studio featuring Coach By Color® bikes, which provide riders customized fitness settings, and a weight room designed for strength work on free weights with ample space for stretching. The fitness studios will host a full suite of workout classes including Yoga, Pilates, Barre, Zumba, and Body Pump. Reston Row will join the roster of VIDA Fitness locations in Washington DC and Northern Virginia, which include Ballston, City Vista, Gallery Place, Logan Circle, U Street and The Yards.

“We are beyond excited to launch our newest location at Reston Station,” said David von Storch, President and Founder of Urban Adventures. “It is clear to me that Comstock is creating a world-class urban environment at Reston Station with a retail tenancy consisting of the best forward-thinking local and regional operators, and office tenants that provide thousands of potential VIDA customers. We look forward to bringing VIDA Fitness and its affiliated brands to Reston Station, the perfect retailing opportunity to expand our market reach.”

Aura Spa, VIDA’s tranquil day spa brand, will deliver signature facials, sports and Thai massages, waxing, body scrubs, cupping, and CBD oil treatments. Bang Salon, voted Best Hair Salon in DC by Washington City Paper, will offer clients cutting-edge styling services that include cuts, color, and highlights.

Modern amenities also include luxury locker rooms, steam, and sauna rooms, and wi-fi access throughout the facility.

“We are thrilled to have VIDA Fitness and its suite of signature brands join the Reston Row District,” said Timothy J. Steffan, Chief Operating Officer for Comstock. “The integrated combination of health, wellness and beauty represents another significant merchandising addition to the retail component of the Reston Station neighborhood and will provide an array of fitness and wellness opportunities to Reston residents and guests at the JW Marriott next door.
