Today we’re toasting VIDA Fitness, the D.C.-native health and wellness club, which is opening its newest location at 4040 Wilson Boulevard in Ballston early next year.
Here are some reasons we think they’re the GOAT:
- It’s really nice. I mean, have you been in one of the D.C. clubs?
- It’s a welcoming place for everyone and anyone
- There’s a spa and a smoothie-and-bowl bar, too
- Customized personal and partner training with top notch trainers
- Nutritional counseling with registered dietitians
- “The reason I like VIDA is that it is well-run and people are friendly. Each time I’ve approached the management, they were extremely helpful, effective and attended to me immediately” — testimonial from Justin
- They help ARLnow hire professional, full-time local news reporters and bring you the local happenings week in and week out

Have you noticed a striking sculpture at Monroe Street and Wilson Boulevard? It’s the Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington’s newest installation, Make Your Mark, by Arlington artist, Adam Henry. This sculpture celebrates MoCA Arlington’s rebranding and brings the museum’s energy outdoors.
On February 11, come inside when the museum’s galleries reopen with two new exhibitions: Rebecca Rivas Rogers: Grey View and Crisis of Image.
Grey View, in the Wyatt Resident Artist Gallery, is an homage to “gray” and a snapshot of the artist’s process. Consisting of photographs, collage, and a site-specific installation, this show is an outgrowth of Rivas-Rogers’ visual investigations into places you see on your way to somewhere else.
On the main level, Crisis of Image features artists who seek equity in today’s saturated visual world by developing new methods related to the production of images.
