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 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). Rachel is so patient and attentive, that cannot be matched at the big box Pilates studios. If you've wanted to try Pilates, give Rachel a call! Your body will thank you!

I've been going to Pilates at Energy Within twice a week for over a year, and I love it! Rachel,…read morethe owner and instructor, is amazing. 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!!

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!

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.

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!

There were a good variety of people of different fitness levels which made me feel comfortable since I just started crossfit a couple months ago (not in va). The coach of the night focused on technique and was helpful with any questions. If you haven't done crossfit before, each day is a different set of workouts. The workout of the day was broken up into three different skill levels: I chose the easiest, but you can modify it up or down as you wish! I was definitely feeling the workout the next day. At the end of the workout, we did a little cheer. Throughout the year, they do different optional competitions and team building events. The community aspect is super important when choosing a gym! I will return!

I seriously have not been excited to work out as I have at RVCF. The programming is spot on, with constant variety of movements and workouts-you can't get bored!. It's good to have that extra guidance outside the limits of your mind, pushing you you farther than you could working out on your own. Besides the fitness aspect, there is a strong sense of community. I have never felt ostracized or out of place because I am not in as awesome shape as another member or because I am slower than others or for whatever reason. My confidence is boosted every time I walk in the door because I know I will get the motivation I need to meet the goals that I want to obtain.
