So… we love the VIDA Fitness Penthouse Pool, but we know that whole ‘must be a member’ thing makes it a little hard for everyone to handle. Well, the gym gurus must have read our minds, because this summer, they’re opening up a little part of their paradise… and making it a workout Washington destination.
