What better way to celebrate than to stay healthy (or to try at least?). The exercises were challenging, but he emphasized to do what worked best for us and our bodies. I loved this Yelp/ RVA Performance Training experience! The atmosphere was comfortable and the staff were amazing! Another win.

I took a free Yelp class to try my first cross fit class. This was awesome!! We had a good size…read moregroup and he worked us out... he said it was a lighter version but let me tell you.. my legs have been sore for 6 days lol!!! Our instructer was awesome, great personality, kept the class fun and interesting. Most of us were beginners but he told us to do what we can, dont try to out do the person next to you. We did so much.. butpees, threw a heavy ball up the wall while doing squats, sit ups, pull ups, pull ups on rings, lunges and more. I loved the flow of the glass although there were moments I had to break, I still kept up! This crissfit gym is hidden but is a great place to work out!

My local YMCA (John Rolfe) closed recently and we don't really like Tuckahoe because it is usually…read moretoo crowded. So we checked out acac. This is a fitness Mecca! Here's my impression after the first week: Signing up for membership was challenging. The price we were quoted over the phone was different than what we were told when we showed up to join. And actually we had an appointment with the membership director and he was on vacation and everyone from membership was gone so one of the front desk attendants gave us a tour. They also gave us a pass to the weekend to make up for the debacle. When we showed up on Saturday we met with someone in membership and that's when the pricing changed because what we were quoted only covered 3 people. So we paid extra for the fourth and our fifth couldn't join because the cost of their membership was too high and she is a student (my daughter). She is 26 so that's why she has to have her own membership. I get it. Also the hot tub and rooftop pool is extra, so be aware. They also have a Recovery area that includes infrared saunas and cold plunge, plus a variety of other equipment. That's an extra charge too, but the first month is free so you can check it out. Other than that miscommunication, it's been pretty seamless. Every staff member I've encountered has been professional and super helpful. Kudos to the center for hiring great people. Any kind of exercise you could possibly want to do is under the roof of acac or at one of their other facilities. The classes and yoga studio is top notch. I've done a few classes and also yoga, signed up for the egym and have used the hot tub, sauna, plunge, etc., and it's all been good. It's only a week in and I feel right at home and motivated to work out every day. I still have so much more to try! I love that I can do something different everyday so I don't get bored. Joining acac costs more but so far it's worth it for us.

Living in the sauna... love the convent location the people are great she'd the staff helpful.read more

The owner, T, is an amazing coach, inspiration and teacher. He wants you to succeed and knows when to push and when to encourage you.

CO2Fit is my favorite way to exercise and get on track to be healthy! Seo is a great motivator and…read moreteacher. The classes are the perfect size - not too crowded. I've belonged to Gold's Gym for years and have found myself not going at all anymore, and just going to CO2Fit classes instead. Seo changes the exercises up regularly so you aren't bored doing the same thing all the time. She is also really good about working with your specific fitness level / needs. I have weak wrists from years of doing gymnastics, so it's hard for me to do exercises where my full body weight is on my wrist. She is so good now that she just automatically gives me an alternate exercise when we have heavy wrist weight activities! I regularly go to CO2Fit Xpress, Surf, and Running Group. I've also gone to Pound and BootCamp. I have no complaints about any of them!

There are a variety of different group activities that you can try here. They like to stay up to date and try new group exercises that their clients might like. There is something for everyone here.

We love CityRow! My husband and I recently moved to Richmond and have been going for a few months…read more I was very new at rowing before attending CityRow classes, but after the first few classes - I felt like I was getting the hang of it. All of the instructors are helpful and willing to break down the motions for you to make sure you're doing it correctly. It's a great full body cardio and strength workout, isolating muscles I was apparently ignoring in my home workouts. You can get the technique down with the first few classes and CityRow offers the first three classes free, which is so generous! There are a variety of levels there every class and I don't feel like I'm judged. Everyone there is so friendly and encouraging. No reason not to try it out!

They have such a healthy,…read moreholistic, and realistic approach to health and fitness, and they're both so down to earth and lovable. I trained with them for a little over 3 years and they were always supportive and adaptive to my changing goals in the gym. Joanna makes nutrition make sense and Niesha writes great workouts that really challenge you and help you meet goals. They were able to adjust my workouts to accommodate injuries and limitations while still ensuring I got good work in and felt pushed/challenged. I highly recommend them for anyone new to the gym or nutrition tracking, or people looking for a fresh new challenge in their fitness journey.

All of our check-ins started with "how are you feeling," which really alleviated my obsession with scale-only accomplishments!

Definitely recommend working with them!

If you are looking for a community, friends, family, or a place where people will hold you…read moreaccountable for the goals you've set for yourself, you've found your forever home. I've been to a lot of CrossFit gyms in the area as well as in my new hometown Colorado and I've yet to find something as special as SoGo. You are greeted with pure joy the moment you walk in. The coaches genuinely care about you and your growth along your fitness journey. You will be pushed past your limits, exceed all your PR's, and come out with the best friends. That's not all! The programming is by far the best I've experienced. You get strength, olympic lifting, and WOD's all in one. Or maybe you just want to do WOD's, that's ok too! And last but not least, the swag is epic. Who doesn't feel like a stud wearing a shirt that says Suns Out Guns Out. You will be missing out not only on opportunity to meet cool people, the massive gains you will make in your strength, endurance, and stamina. The ball is in your court, go try it out.

This CrossFit box reminds me of some in Florida - garage doors that open to outside air, great…read morecoaches, and outstanding competition. If you want to better yourself everyday, this is the "gym" for you! Coaching is outstanding. Motivating and keeping you safe at the same time. Programming is on point. Follow it, push yourself, and you cannot help but to get stronger and improve. Need to be more flexible? Who doesn't? Every Thursday we do ROMWOD to improve flexibility and range of motion. Feel better - do ROMWOD!!! Need a partner to hold you accountable? Every Saturday is bring a friend for FREE day! Partner workouts are challenging and fun!! Now they even have CrossFit kids classes. The whole family can get fit. Pricing is very reasonable for all you have access to - there really is no reason not to give SOGO a try!

This was an event that…read moreinstructed us on how to properly perform various strongman movements and to try out some unique movements. We had an absolute blast and now we are both preparing for our first Strongman competition in August. Without this experience, we'd never have felt comfortable doing anything like this.

What is this place? I have never heard of it until I stumbled across an ad on Facebook. Initially,…read moreI doubted it because it looked scammish but I went ahead and provided a contact number. The ad stated limited spots so it was a sign that people were signing up and when I clicked on the link, it appeared as if there weren't any left.. However, I was fortunate and received a call back. Again, I was skeptical because FB ads are tricky and that's to the general look of ALL ads I saw on FB. I was contacted a day or so after directly and appointed a time to have a consult. The place was tricky to find but it's tucked away where other warehouses are and sporting facilities. Who knew there was an area back there. Anywho, after consulting and learning about the type of exercise, the time offered, and discussing my goals, I went ahead and signed up. Again, I was very hesitant because I was nervous about group exercises and fearful of appearing unfit or ashamed but I took a leap of faith and said , Yes! Jumping ahead, the people are SO welcoming and the trainers are absolutely supportive and very easy to speak to. Yes, they encouraged me to push hard but it was the kick in the butt I needed. The coaches were never pushy, they were attentive to my limits and personal goals. Lindsay and Sean were who conducted the classes and they both complement each other well in terms of personality and gym environment. Pricing.. yes it can be viewed as expensive but it is not quite different in comparison to the amount you would spend on a personal gym trainer. Now if you're looking for more of a gym such as Crunch or YMCA where you are mainly independent or have a different fitness focus, then you may doubt membership here. This gym is VERY diverse in workouts, uses body exercises, and lifts. Each day offers something different and that is why I absolutely have yet to be bored from it. The workouts are challenging but you are never asked to go beyond your comfortable limits both physically and emotionally. The gym itself is just very fun, cool, and casual. They have a range of equipment from weighted balls to squat racks. If you like the pump, the burn, and sweat I believe you will enjoy the experience. Nutrition advice is offered as well and more independent plans if wished for. The facility has been open for I believe 6 or 7 years now which is a fantastic sign. The vibe is very familyistic and everyone truly is impacting. I would recommend the place to all of my friends and family just to at least give it one day's try. Anywho, I love it!
