Bethesda

The St. James Performance Club is a performance training and recovery destination - built around a methodology, not just a collection of equipment. Where a traditional gym gives you access to a floor, we give you access to a complete system: expert coaching, group training classes, an Olympic-size pool, a professional-grade recovery suite, and more. It's the difference between showing up and actually progressing.

Not at all. Our members range from competitive athletes to people who are simply serious about how they feel and how they age. What they share is an intention to train with purpose - not a specific fitness level. If you're ready to show up, we're built for you.

Signature gives you full access to the training floor, 80+ weekly group classes, the indoor lap pool, personal training sessions, and select recovery services. Performance includes everything in Signature plus unlimited access to the full recovery suite — cryotherapy, cold plunge, infrared sauna, contrast therapy, compression, and red light — with no session caps. It also includes access to both Bethesda and Springfield locations. If recovery is a priority — and the research suggests it should be — Performance is the membership built around that.

Select recovery services are included across all membership tiers. Unlimited access to the full recovery suite is available with the Performance and Recovery memberships. Our ambassadors can walk you through exactly what's included at each level.

Month-to-month and flexible membership terms are available. We offer a 12-month agreement for members who want to lock in the best rate, but we'll never pressure you into a commitment before you're ready. Start with a complimentary workout, talk to an ambassador, and find the right fit before you decide anything.

Weekday mornings from 6–9 AM and evenings from 5–7 PM tend to be the busiest. If your schedule is flexible, mid-morning and early afternoon offer a quieter experience with full access to everything.

Yes. Validated parking is available for up to two hours — just ask at the front desk when you arrive.

Your complimentary visit includes full access to the training floor, 80+ group classes to choose from, the indoor lap pool, and a guided tour of the club. No commitment, no pressure — just an honest look at what your membership would include every single day.

Yes. We offer membership discounts for families, military and first responders, students, seniors, and corporate partners. Reach out to a membership ambassador to learn what's available for you.
