A very weird experience in a very nice gym. first, the good news: the ACAC location is clean,…read morewell-maintained and has everything anybody wants in a workout. I visited upstairs and did the elliptical, some free weights and a leg press. all worked great. I was disappointed to learn that ACAC as a multi-location workout facility doesn't have a membership tier that is inclusive for temporary/non-residents. it's either, you buy a one-time pass for $25; a three-day one; or a full monthly. nothing in between. Charlottesville itself is known for having a very transient, ever-changing population so this policy doesn't make sense to me. When I was there, some weirdo was on the stairclimber making this god-awful coughing noise about every 10 seconds. look, I know everyone has their workout quirks but spreading your germs around knowingly (in the age of airborne viruses like COVID) is a bad idea. I brought it to the attention of the desk attendant and she did not seem particularly phased by the news. ACAC Downtown is within walking distance of my flat/crashpad so I will go back. but I'm just hoping they either bring back the punch card or institute a program for non-residents to make life a bit easier.

I started at ACAC from PT and I did not continue after my 60 days. It is a very dirty facility…read more You see women cleaning all the time but I don't know what they are doing. The women's locker room is disgusting, it smells and there is hair all over the floor and on the shower walls and floor. The hot tub is dirty too. The locker room is way over due for an overhaul. The lockers are dirty and don't get cleaned out ever. It doesn't make sense to have kids in the women's locker room either. Have a family area for changing clothes. Also, the pool is always overrun by kids and it's loud. Terrible gym don't waste your time or money.

He is the laziest employee they have. He acts like he is going out of his way to answer a question. All he wants to do is click on membership cards and stand there. I also don't like they allow kids in there. Some are running around screaming on the track and could knock over someone that is in rehab from a stroke. Kids do not belong in there using the equipment and rarely are the parents around. Make a gym for kids if you want them in there, otherwise have them go to the Kid's Zone.

This is the premier gym in town. With several locations, this gym offers a whole slew of amenities…read moreto include a couple 24/7 locations and clay tennis courts (which I use often). The staff are all courteous, respectful and helpful. I've been to three different locations and each one is clean and well kept. Despite the heavy foot traffic, it doesn't ever seem packed and I rarely have to wait for any equipment. Parking is also fairly ample. Glad we got a membership here (although generally more expensive than I normally would pay for a gym membership) and I do recommend the family rate since it's the most cost effective. Enjoy your workouts!

No other gym offers such a consistent no cost workout. So I think I speak for myself and the other burn members when I say it's addictive, the good addiction. :). So here's the runs down, 45 minute group exercise that changes daily. You don't get bored, you never know what to expect (except for a exceptional workout). The trainers are amazing and offer support throughout the sessions and offer weekly focus meetings (also free) to help with your progress. I can't get enough this place. I highly recommend them. Definitely check them out, if you don't trust reviews go see for a 14 day FREE trail... they are that confident you'll love it!

I originally tried Burn Boot Camp a month after it arrived in the area, October 2019, so I've been obsessed with returning ever since. I recently signed up for their new member 4 week Ignite Your Life and I have no regrets. The music is up beat and the workout is always different, yet challenging. I love that its full body - you're able to get in your cardio and weight training all in one - as I've always been the one in the gym weight training or taking a conditioning class at the gym which is now made so much easier. The trainers are all super friendly, helpful, and encourage you (in a non-pushy manner) to push to your max. Burn Boot Camp is the ultimate package for a gym!

I trained with Drew for several months while he was working in Washington, DC. When I first…read morestarted with Drew, I was in a complete rut; I couldn't lose weight on my own; my workouts were boring; I had no inspiration. Training with Drew changed everything. He designed workouts for me that were fun, creative, challenging, and effective. Each week, I saw myself progress and my confidence shot up. I was doing things I never thought possible. Other gym members were amazed (and jealous, I think!) of the awesome workouts I was doing. Even though Drew is not in DC anymore, I continue to do the same workouts he taught me. Drew is passionate about personal training and clearly loves to help people meet their fitness goals. He is a fun and dynamic trainer that will motivate you and change the way you think about working out. I can sum it up by saying: DREW IS AWESOME!

I was visiting Charlottesville and needed a yoga home for the next few nights. I came across this…read morefabulous studio and was very in awe with the instructors and the community. The space was very lovely, spacious and convenient parking wise. All the teachers and students were friendly. During classes I appreciated each teacher as they all have their own personality and provided a safe place to really re-ground.

As a beginner yogi, I am always wanting feedback on my form, and I appreciated that the instructors would stay after and answer any questions I had and also give me additional feedback. However, my latest experience after the 30 day trial wasn't the best, and I don't think I'll be returning. I attended my first aerial level 2 class, and I felt like a burden the entire time. It appeared that everyone was already well bonded--which was fine, but there wasn't much explanation behind any of the poses, and it was expected that I know poses that were completely foreign coming from level one. This was really discouraging, and I know I have a lot of room for growth in my practice, but I'd rather do it in a space where I feel comfortable with where I am in my practice.
