They called me immediately after signing up…read moreseveral times to schedule my first class and even when I did finally schedule, they were still calling me trying to get me to follow there Facebook, and confirm that I was coming to my class. The staff also would call and ask me several questions about why I'm choosing this gym and just all kinds of unnecessary things in my opinion so I had to quit answering the calls. There's nothing wrong with selling but sheeshhh, the sales thirst is real here. When I arrived to my first class I was given the grand tour then I received my free pair of gloves which were in the color black. I wanted pink instead and had to pay 15$ extra for that. You will also need to purchase wraps for your hands. so keep that in mind. when you purchase the bundle, only the gloves will be free. Long story short, I made it to my first class and loved it. The instructors are really good, and take there time with you. But of course after completing my first class more sales pitching was pushed my way. I wish they would start trying to sell you the membership after your last class which makes sense because damn Pam, its my first class, can I try all 3 to determine whether I want to join or nah? What was more annoying was the membership fee which was a whopping 145$ per month for 12 months! With an initiation fee of 150! but if you sign up your first class (hence why they pitch the member ship to you so soon) the initiation fee will be brought down to 50$. I was sooo looking forward to getting a membership here. I really like this place, its a very fun way of working out compared to the gym but 145$ a month is not affordable for me. I used to belong to Title Boxing and there membership was only 74.99 so I came in expecting a price point of that nature not 145$. Oh well, back to the gym I go.

The "rule" is 5 min before class they lock the door and no entry, no exceptions. This "rule" is not in the contract but on a note on the front door that you can't read in the dark doorway. Drove 30 mins to be turned away; although the class had not begun and the person at the front had the time to explain the rule at the front door to my face after unlocking said door, she was unrelenting about the "rule". I'm new to the place so I'm very disappointed that this person felt so self empowered to enforce this "rule". Rude is an understatement ! Angry and frustrated is where I am. OMy name was on the class register that day so it's not like I was a random drop in. I have a 3 month contract that I WILL NOT BE RENEWING!!! BE FOREWARNED ABOUT JOINING THIS MILITANT PLACE AND PAYING A VERY STEEP MONTHLY FEE TO BE DENIES ACCESS TO SERVICES YOU PAID FOR! Bravo ILKB Chesapeake

Wareings is by far the best gym I've ever been to. Great staff/owners/members. Wareing's has more…read morecharacter and charm than any other gym. It has all the equipment you need with a bright and open layout. Classes are also top notch. I've had 1000+ questions and the trainers have always be enthusiastic to help. Shoutout to Chris Ullom, the head trainer. Even while I was away at school and not paying gym dues he would still give me advice on different gym topics - things like that have made me a Wareing's lifer. Also, very pleased the gym rolled out extended hours. About time! Closing at 2pm on a Sunday was ridiculous.

Tons of equipment, from machines to free weights, plus they had a full size boxing ring upstairs - how many health clubs/gyms have one of those on site? Come in for a workout, get all warmed up, go for a run (for me, usually 3-5 miles), then back for a shower! Now live in Texas, outside of Fort Worth and work out at an old style gym - a few machines and free weights. Texas Fit is the name. Good people here too - always helpful, but no boxing ring! I'm now closing in on 80 years old and can't wait to get to a gym, just wish Wareing's was nearer! John M Stanley, USN (RET), Burleson, TX.

Great studio, great location, great instructor!…read more How did I find this place? Funnily enough... Yelp. I don't live locally but visit family frequently enough to want a go-to studio in Virginia Beach. I found 3 on yelp - none of which had any reviews. Chose Pilates Fitness Club solely based on the website: it was really easy to find the schedule and the class options are super convenient. Plus a prominently featured intro deal for new clients: 5 classes for $25. Worth it? Yes. I haven't tried the other studio to compare, but I'm fairly positive I made the right choice. Not intimidating at all (the other studio pretty much required you to call in advance if you were a brand new student) and awesome instructor (Chris) - whether there are 2 students or 12, he really focuses on making sure you're doing the movements correctly and makes the 50 minutes of class fly by. Proximity to the oceanfront is an added bonus.

The instructors were very good and took you through the movements and made the appropriate adjustments. They made the class fun and approachable even for beginners like me. They had a $25 for 5 classes for first time customers deal so you really don't have an excuse not to give them a try. Be warn though because you'll likely come back often. The classes are generally scheduled every hour and can be easily booked through the website. On the last day, I brought my 60 year old mother to class and Christopher took his time to work with her on the various Pilates positions. She has not even heard of Pilates and she had a great workout. This is on my to go list when I am in the area.

They employ coaches who genuinely want to see you reach your best, and understand everyone has their own fitness level. I've worked out most of my life, but I've never seen the results I gotten from working out here. There are 4 different rooms where they hold classes, open gym and some additional classes. They offer different class time each day, and include open gym time for those who want to work on their personal programs. They post the daily WOD on the website, along with the schedule. Each class is scheduled for an hour and is broken into phases. First, there is a warm-up and stretch phase. Second, there is a strength phase which normally consist of the current strength cycle. Lastly, there is the expected WOD. There are different Crossfit workouts daily. I was a member for a year, and don't remember repeating many WODs. There is also a F.I.T. class, which is a hybrid of Crossfit and HIIT training. Mostly women attend these classes. However, it definitely isn't "weaker" workout. It just has a different focus of training. Think of a Crossfit WOD consisting of lighter weight, more reps, and fewer rest periods. I used to try to fit in an a F.I.T class, so I can improve my cardio and muscle endurance. There is a lot more I can say, but this post is getting long lol. If my work schedule didn't change, I would still be a member of the gym. The gym is always evolving. Dawn and Jim are always looking for ways to improve the experience it's members.

I was very…read moreimpressed from the start, when I had signed up for a class just two hours before they were able to give me a call to discuss the first class I had signed up for. They also asked me further questions, like my fitness goals, history, and health status. Walking into the studio for my complimentary Foundations Class was a little nerve wrecking only because I was the only one signed up for the class! However, my instructor Julia, made me feel comfortable that it was just her and I this evening. The Foundations Class is the initial class you should take before jumping into the three other classes they offer. I still got a full body workout with the initial class, my legs were still shaking from the intensity, I left sweaty, but I do not feel overworked. I left my Foundations Class with a new membership to Pure Barre! I'll be here 3x a week, hopefully - wish me luck with my fitness journey, y'all!

They unfroze it without my knowledge after a while, so I called to cancel my membership knowing that I would probably not get back to that area.

How is a letter any better than me calling? Why is cancelling a gym membership this difficult? The customer service here has always been mediocre at best.
