I had a lot of fun. This was a full class and they brought a lot of energy. Everyone was so helpful being a newbie rider and I really appreciated all the tips. I'm looking forward to my next ride here at Starcycle.

I had been living in Va Beach for almost five years and couldn't really find a place I belonged. Walking through the doors, I knew that would change. The trainers are far superior to any in your local gym. I had a membership at Golds/One Life, a yoga studio, a small women's gym, and the Rec Centers over the years and the programing, training, and overall atmosphere of the Compound is immeasurably better. I will be a member of this facility for as long as they'll have me. I am so appreciative that Compound CrossFit became my second home - my Virginia family!

At Matchbout you can get one on one training sessions to work on your specific goals, 24 access to the facility with keyless entry. There are are boot camp style workouts, step aerobic classes and more! Free parking is available and I love that I can include my son in my fitness regimen. He too can train and get a workout in while building up self confidence, self discipline and learning about health & wellness Overall I highly recommend this sports training facility. Many athletes come here to train and prepare for their semi professional and professional fights. Some come to spar or simply keep in shape I come to keep in shape and one on one training sessions because I love fitness and live a healthy lifestyle. I enjoy smaller boot camp style classes and not going to a large gym. Smaller gyms feel more like home to me vs bigger gyms you can get overwhelmed with all the machines and feel lost in the sauce, if you know what I mean. Lol If you want to try something new and shake up your old workout routine or simply want to join me for a workout I extend an invite. It's lots of fun.

My mind and body are very grateful for Dawn Pilates studio…read more I have needed a physical life upgrade (and mental getaway) for months now. Covid has been a beast. Thankfully, so is Pilates! Since I'm a regular at neighboring Egg Bistro, Red Chair and Elite Nails, I have seen Dawn Pilates studio a few times now and was always curious about getting back into some form of physical activity. So I checked out their website and signed up for an introductory class yesterday evening. The studio is immaculately clean and the equipment is very well kept. They have sanitizer available and the instructors wear masks during classes. As you enter, you'll find cubbies to secure your belongings right up front. Toward the back, they have restrooms and a private studio. They have a selection of activewear, socks and other accessories to aid your practice and make you feel fancy. Personally, I find that cute workout wear inspires me to work harder. You will have to sign a waiver and provide some health-related info before starting. I am glad they ask for this as, without knowledge, you can easily exacerbate injuries if you do not make your instructors aware. They also inquire about your goals and will offer suggestions about how often to practice to reach your goals. They have a variety of equipment (reformer with tower, TRX, Bosu, other mats and balls) so that your classes won't get stale and you will see continuous progress. The introductory class is no-pressure, super informative and a quick way to fall in love with pilates (for me, a 2nd time around). Brande was the instructor and guided my form during the class while also being motivating and encouraging. After we finished, she reviewed the pricing with me (again, no pressure.. thanks, Brande!) and asked if I had questions. Like hot yoga, prices are definitely an investment for memberships, but they have several options depending on how often you expect to take class and are currently offering a 10% discount until the end of the year. I asked about pay-in-full discounts and she indicated that was also an option. I expected to feel incredibly sore this morning and I do, which is such a good feeling! My wallet won't be as happy as the rest of my body though...shew! But I am certainly eager to start taking classes regularly!
