    Great gym for the true gym rat looking for a place to get serious work done! My friends and I split our group workouts between Va Beach and Richmond because one of our group lives in RVA. So this time around we were on the Richmond side and this was the gym he chose. Here's our criteria for a good gym: 1. Lots of free weight 2. No judgement/restriction on using heavy weights or making noise while working out 3. Old school iron gym atmosphere Body Creations hit every mark! The equipment is time tested, traditional stuff you know gets the job done if you've been in the lifestyle for a while. The atmosphere is old school, friendly, inviting members and staff, loud music, and everything you need to get a good workout in. The location is small, so if you have issues with being in close quarters with others and sharing space than this may not be the place for you. But if you've been training a while you've been to a place like this and have no problem moving equipment around to do what you want to do and they had no problem with us doing so. The prices are PHENOMINAL both for day passes($5) AND membership($100/yr no contract) for what's available and they have trainers on staff if you're just starting out and need some guidance/motivation. Great place to train and we will definitely be back.

    Pretty solid gym. It has pretty much all the equipment you need to keep yourself in good shape. I like the old-school gym vibe.

    Five stars plus ! Ana is an amazing trainer. She doesn't let you quit or give up on yourself…read more Her background in psychology gives such an interesting perspective and compliments her nutrition programs. The best thing I have learned as a nutrition coaching client is to not give food more importance than it deserves. "Eat when you're hungry and stop when you're full" is the mantra. She encourages mindful eating and smart choices that are sustainable rather than a diet mentality. As far as the fitness part of the experience well she packs a great workout in just one little hour! You leave feeling energized, strong, and powerful. Every workout is different and more challenging than the one before. The small groups are the best, I love working out with 2-3 other people- it makes the workout more fun! I can do exercises I never could have done 6 months ago. All the workouts begin with mobility, then have a strength component, then finish with high intensity conditioning. I have lost 35 lbs in 8 months. I am stronger than ever and so happy I chose Ana as my trainer ! You will not be disappointed.

She always says, "Start where you are!" This quote makes exercising less overwhelming and discouraging. It reminds you that you will transform and be able to do more or better in the future. The small group personal training that SimplyLiv Studio offers has been a wonderful fit for me. I've been able to learn from Ana and enjoy the other like-minded members. You'd be lucky to find a trainer and coach like Ana! She's truly a gem.

    My training partner John and I visited Mayhem for Strongman Saturday. This was an event that…read moreinstructed us on how to properly perform various strongman movements and to try out some unique movements. We had an absolute blast and now we are both preparing for our first Strongman competition in August. Without this experience, we'd never have felt comfortable doing anything like this. The atmosphere was pure motivation, fun and high energy. We will be back. Count on it. Thanks, Coach Sean Murphy!

    What is this place? I have never heard of it until I stumbled across an ad on Facebook. Initially,…read moreI doubted it because it looked scammish but I went ahead and provided a contact number. The ad stated limited spots so it was a sign that people were signing up and when I clicked on the link, it appeared as if there weren't any left.. However, I was fortunate and received a call back. Again, I was skeptical because FB ads are tricky and that's to the general look of ALL ads I saw on FB. I was contacted a day or so after directly and appointed a time to have a consult. The place was tricky to find but it's tucked away where other warehouses are and sporting facilities. Who knew there was an area back there. Anywho, after consulting and learning about the type of exercise, the time offered, and discussing my goals, I went ahead and signed up. Again, I was very hesitant because I was nervous about group exercises and fearful of appearing unfit or ashamed but I took a leap of faith and said , Yes! Jumping ahead, the people are SO welcoming and the trainers are absolutely supportive and very easy to speak to. Yes, they encouraged me to push hard but it was the kick in the butt I needed. The coaches were never pushy, they were attentive to my limits and personal goals. Lindsay and Sean were who conducted the classes and they both complement each other well in terms of personality and gym environment. Pricing.. yes it can be viewed as expensive but it is not quite different in comparison to the amount you would spend on a personal gym trainer. Now if you're looking for more of a gym such as Crunch or YMCA where you are mainly independent or have a different fitness focus, then you may doubt membership here. This gym is VERY diverse in workouts, uses body exercises, and lifts. Each day offers something different and that is why I absolutely have yet to be bored from it. The workouts are challenging but you are never asked to go beyond your comfortable limits both physically and emotionally. The gym itself is just very fun, cool, and casual. They have a range of equipment from weighted balls to squat racks. If you like the pump, the burn, and sweat I believe you will enjoy the experience. Nutrition advice is offered as well and more independent plans if wished for. The facility has been open for I believe 6 or 7 years now which is a fantastic sign. The vibe is very familyistic and everyone truly is impacting. I would recommend the place to all of my friends and family just to at least give it one day's try. Anywho, I love it!

    I'm extremely disappointed in this Crunch franchise (JF Fitness of North America) for their…read morecomplete lack of transparency and customer service. While my trainer Chris Patterson and the staff have been fantastic, management--especially Fitness Director Nick May--has been the opposite. I have 44 fully paid, unused personal training sessions at the Glenside location. I was told in writing that my sessions never expire, yet no one disclosed that they cannot be used at any other Crunch location. After moving to Norfolk, I learned that these sessions are locked to this single franchise, something that was never mentioned when I signed up and something most customers would reasonably assume would transfer between Crunch gyms. How come I can use any crunch gym with my membership, but my sessions won't transfer? JF Fitness has offered zero real solutions--just "sell your sessions" or drive hours back to Richmond. No one will buy them, and I no longer live there. I even tried to coordinate a transfer and was initially led to believe it might be possible, only for management to completely dismiss it. The lack of honesty, accountability, and basic customer service from Nick May and upper management is unacceptable. This feels misleading and unethical, and I will be reporting it to the Better Business Bureau for failure to disclose critical information. Shame on JF Fitness for taking advantage of loyal members and hiding behind franchise loopholes instead of doing what's right.

Before I met Jacob Byrd my body was screwed up due to poor lifting habits with…read morean old trainer, bad knees and a weak back (I'm on my feet all day and I travel a lot for work). I've worked with 2 other personal trainers in the past at Crunch and I joined a crossfit gym for a year before I started training with Jacob. What sets Jacob apart is how efficient and effective his training sessions are. I didn't realize that most of my pains were due to poor performance while working out. Jacob has taught me proper body position while lifting plus how to strengthen areas that are weak or need more attention. In a year my body has really transformed due to his training method and how he approaches/customizes every training session. If I had to describe Jacob Byrd in 3 words it would be professional, passionate and knowledgeable. I do appreciate that he's super knowledgeable and aware of the human body. I'm very happy that he's my personal trainer and I've recommended him to all my friends/family!

I arrived for my scheduled 7:00 a.m. session with the assigned trainer, only to discover that he had quit. I immediately requested a refund and canceled the personal training services. Although another trainer was later assigned to cover the missed sessions, I requested that all future personal training sessions be canceled in accordance with the contract. Despite this, Crunch continued to withdraw funds from my account for personal training services through August 2025, even though no training was provided. I have been requesting a refund since August 2025, and as of January 2026, I have not received it. I have received no resolution from staff at the Brook Road location, and I am being repeatedly redirected without results. If this matter is not resolved promptly, my next step will be to pursue this issue in small claims court.

    Hope this message finds you well. I am extremely disturbed by an experience I had today, September…read more3rd, upon arriving at the facility. Normally I am greeted warmly by a wonderful staff member, but today an unfamiliar staff member named Jake approached me in a manner that was deeply unsettling. As soon as I walked in, he fixed me with a harsh, almost hostile look. He then rushed over to me and abruptly asked, "What gym do you usually go to?" His body language and the way he looked me up and down were aggressive and inappropriate, leaving me feeling highly uncomfortable, unwelcome, and singled out. What made the situation even more distressing was that just moments later, two other individuals walked past him and he made no effort to stop or question them. It was very clear that I was treated differently, and I cannot help but believe this was because of my skin color. This encounter was not only unprofessional but extremely disturbing. It made me feel discriminated against and as though I was not wanted in a place where I had every right to be, especially considering that I could have easily paid for entry that day. I am bringing this to your immediate attention because no member, guest, or visitor should ever feel targeted or harassed in this way. I recommend ANY other Golds gym in the area!!!

I honestly can't imagine why anyone would give this less than 5 stars. This was a very good gym when I came to it in high school 20 years ago. It has improved and evolved since then with the really nice lifting platforms. As someone who uses a powerlifting gym, this is pretty accommodating for someone who typically doesn't use globo gyms. You can get everything you need to a variety of strength and cardio equipment.
