This gym is filled with the most amazing people both members and trainers. Each trainer has an amazing light and force about them that makes you want to be better. I had the best time every day and made life longer friends. I got my health on track in a way that I never knew was possible. I was able to overcome many fears and made amazing accomplishments. This will always be my gym in my heart I'll always be a Brickhouse member. Ryan runs an amazing gym.. taking classes with Donald taught me so much.. and 530am class rocks. If you ever have an opportunity to go to this gym do it.. it will change your life.

From the moment I walked through the door the coach and members were inviting, encouraging and absolutely amazing. Not only that, the programming was solid, the coaching A+, and the facility itself up to date with everything you could need for a CrossFit workout. They even went out of their way to recommend a great breakfast spot after the WOD! Make sure if you're in the area you make this your Crossfit spot!

I had an appointment with the trainer but was running a few minutes late. I sent a text to my trainer, saying, "on my way". I was about 6 minutes late. Not to mention, I drove 30 minutes to get to the gym. When I arrived, the trainer was already gone. The owner told me that I had to pay for the session anyway. She had a habit of interrupting my training sessions- on a regular basis, for which time I was paying additional fees. I never had any compensation to make up for her extended interruptions, but yet when I was a few minutes late, I had to pay more anyway for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! I quit! I found a much better gym with classes for the same price that I enjoy very much.

We were in town recently visiting my parents and needed an activity for my two boys to get some…read moreenergy out. I did a Yelp search of the area and this place popped up. Our experience wasn't great - but I think that's largely because from the online photos we were expecting something closer to what we've experienced back home at our local climbing gyms. The whole facility is much more catered to serious climbers than kids. I was amazed watching some of the adult folks who came in and tried the huge bolder walls. We came in about 2 in the afternoon. It took almost 30 minutes just to get checked in, rental equipment, MANY statements about how my children could be harmed or die, and then a whole bunch of instruction on how to do the harnesses. That was new for us - every other climbing gym we've been to has staff to assist children with this. Then we were faced with the fact that there are only 5 climbing paths that have safety harnesses - this didn't end up being too much of an issue because no other kids came in, so my boys had free-reign to swap between the paths, but if there had been more kids - I anticipate we'd have been waiting around a lot to take turns. Also my arthritis was quite unhappy with me after over an hour of fastening harnesses. If we end up back in town, would we do it again? Maybe - the pricing was fair, and the boys did end up enjoying it. But if you're looking for a child-specific activity, that's not really what the vibe of this place is.

It was kind of like a trippy meditative kindergarten naptime. Every other class I've taken--Hatha, Hatha Flow, and Yin--has been just the right amount of challenging but also mellow and kind. The space is inviting, they have student discounts, and there are quite a few classes offered. The downtown location is convenient. The teachers know what they're doing. What a pleasant place.

Best yoga studio in Roanoke. I've been a 3yr devotee. Highly recommend Jill's classes. She…read morechallenges you spiritually and physically. The studio is vinyasa/hatha based with some heated classes (warm like 80s, no hot to the 90s or 100s). I love this studio and particularly Jill's classes because of the smart sequencing to music and peak poses. Most of the time I feel like I'm almost dancing fluidly through the asanas! The instructors (particularly Jill, Steve, Sarah, Kimberley and Wendi) challenge you to inversions, arm balances and binds. The studio definitely has a cult following and this is evident if you go to the Saturday 930am class!

Nicole and Keala are wonderful people, and I will greatly miss In Balance's community. I also love that a primary focus of their studio is geared toward supporting the community either through donation flows or making yoga accessible for those on tight budgets. They also handled their response to COVID-19 responsibility and ethically by quickly moving their classes to Zoom. I highly recommend this studio for anyone looking for a community that's focused on supporting your personal growth, giving back, and having fun!

I was introduced to Pilates many years ago but just recently started taking classes more seriously. Rachel will start you out privately to get to know your body and movements and then you can move into classes (no more than 2 other people).

She's been teaching Pilates for over 20 years and has a tremendous amount of knowledge. Because of her vast knowledge, she is able to address any specific needs and physical limitations you have as an individual. She really cares that people learn how to do Pilates right. The correct form is very important to her. She keeps her classes small enabling her to give everyone individualized attention. She has several classes throughout the day so if you miss your scheduled class it's easy to make it up. Every class is fun, and I've met so many great people in her classes. I highly recommend Energy Within...I wouldn't go anywhere else!!

Muscle Up Fitness has got to be the greatest fitness business to every hit Rocky Mount. In an area…read morewhere fitness center opportunities are sparse this is a gym that provides unheard of value. The head trainer, Kelly, has tons of experience and expertise in the fitness world and is constantly learning and improving her routines for her class attendees. The classes are crossfire like, but I would say are challenging and reasonable for people of all ages. The gym itself looks like something out of a construction yard, but that only adds to the charm of the place. The personal attention and energy you get from Kelly and her husband cannot be beat. Whether you are a fitness star or just starting out they will work with you to tailor their daily workout to what you need. The workouts change every day so you can always expect something different. At $10 or a month rate of $70 per class the value simply cannot be beat. In a major metro area you would pay double those prices for probably half the quality you get from them. So if you are in the Rock Mount area they are alway glad to welcome new people even just for the day! Check me out!
