Parking Instructions

You’ll see…it’s only a bit difficult the first time you do it.

The General Rule:

In general, you will park in the Main Parking Garage of the Two Bethesda Metro Center Building, located on North Lane just off Woodmont Avenue in “FitnessWise Reserved” spaces.

If you arrive before 7:00am or after 4:30pm on weekdays, or anytime on weekends, you will park in the Short-Term (Alternate) Parking Garage in “CCLC/FitnessWise Reserved” spaces.

You MUST display a FitnessWise Parking Pass to park in any FitnessWise spaces or you may be towed. See information below for more details.

The Specifics:

The Main Parking Garage is run by LAZ Parking and is to your right as you turn onto North Lane from Woodmont Avenue.

Main Parking Garage: located on North Lane (opposite Bethesda Metro pick-up area)
Park there:
Monday -Friday: 7:00am-4:30pm

Once you pass through the gate of the Main Parking Garage, you should park immediately to your left in spaces marked “FitnessWise Reserved.” (if you can’t find it, ask the parking attendant). We have stack parking; you can take your keys with you unless you block someone. If you block someone, please leave your keys either in the ignition or with the parking attendant, who will move it only if necessary. If a space is not available in our reserved section, you should park in any other non-reserved parking space in the garage.

We are happy to validate your parking ticket for the Main Parking Garage. We design your exercise program to take no more than 1 ½ hours and schedule you for exercise appointments of up to 1½ hours. We have rearranged validation so you will have ample time to change prior to and after your exercise. Should you need to eat, shop or visit other areas of downtown Bethesda, please ask at the front desk…if you don’t, you will be charged by Colonial Parking for any additional time you are parked (see parking attendant for details), without exception.

Short-Term (Alternate) Parking Garage: located on East Lane
Park there:
Monday-Thursday: before 7:00am or after 4:30pm
Saturday/Sunday: during our business hours

The Short-Term (Alternate) Parking Garage is located on East Lane, which is the continuation of North Lane before you reach Montgomery Lane. From Woodmont Avenue, you will turn left onto North Lane, turn right onto East Lane and make an immediate right into the Short-Term (Alternate) Parking Garage (near bank ATM).

You can park in any space marked “FitnessWise/CCLC Reserved.” You may be towed if you park in the Short-Term (Alternate) Parking Garage and are not in the center or if you arrive and park there when you should park in the Main Parking Garage.

We will provide all Silver, Bronze, Passport Plus and Passport clients, as well as weekly and bi-weekly clients and students, long-term Parking Pass to display on the passenger side rear window. The Parking Pass will serve to identify you as a valid user of our reserved spaces. Your sticker is the property of FitnessWise and must be returned if requested; please use it judiciously. If necessary, we will provide all other clients whom we meet Temporary Parking Passes for the Short Term (Alternate) Parking Garage. You may be towed if you do not display your Parking Pass or sticker.
