I arrived early to check in and get a sense of the layout of this gym - they're all so different, but I was pleased to see this space was a decent size (much bigger than the postage stamp sized F45 I regularly go to). Plus it's in a shopping plaza with a ton of free parking. I was able to get in my regular Saturday workout, with the same level of great coaching I am used to. I especially loved the industrial sized fans scattered throughout the space. Definitely recommend this F45!

I love that you can get a workout in and get on with your day in only 45 minutes. Monday, Wednesday, Friday are cardio, Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday are strength, and Saturday is a 1 hour hybrid workout. There's so much diversity in the workouts you never get bored. The trainers push me to my limits every class, it's great. F45 Dumbarton has truly become something I look forward to every day. If you're not sure, give it a try. I guarantee you'll love it.

The equipment and amenities are all top notch--from the benches, weights, and cardio equipment, to the straightener/curling iron and makeup remover wipes in the bathroom. This gym is inclusive in all aspects, not to mention so much fun and a great workout. They offer a variety of classes and always mix up the different workouts to prevent you (and your muscles) from getting bored. The classes are all tailored around YOUR personalized "base code," which allows you to workout in a community, but challenge yourself according to your level of fitness. I am SO happy I met Matt and Kellie and that I found this gym. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun community or a way to mix up their workout routine!

Wonderful gym, wonderful staff…read more I've been working with Ashlee for almost a year. I came in with a history of awful knee injuries, multiple surgeries followed by iffy recoveries, and little to no faith in the muscles in my lower body. In less than 12 months I've gone from constantly worrying about those shaky knees to feeling real confidence in my movements. Doubling my PRs has just been an added perk... Ashlee has been awesome in creating tailored programs for me and what I need. Just as important, she fosters a welcoming and encouraging environment in the group training sessions that make them more enjoyable than they have any business being. If you want help with nutrition, she's got you. If you want suggestions for good obscure metal bands, she's got you there too. When you look at my Yelp history, you'll notice that I've only ever reviewed moving companies. Couldn't be happier that my first non-moving related assessment is ReDefineRVA and Ashlee.

You come in, do 9 rounds of 3 minute each and have a 3 minute break in between. The trainer teaches you each round and will be there for anything you need during your workout. 30 min and you get a great full body workout with muscle work as well as cardio. You get a heart monitor you can wear and shows on the tv to help you see how you are doing along the way. Jess is the owner and she's awesome and super helpful. The other trainers are fantastic as well, good people all around. It's the best workout and nothing like it in town.

As far as personal training, I joined the gym in August 2017 but only started training with Waleed in the past few months. I learn something new every time I go in for training and never cease to be amazed by the knowledge that Waleed has about general fitness and strength training. He always seems to be one step ahead in thinking about your physical and mental progress (and is very efficient with scheduling). His passion for helping others succeeding in their goals really shows through.

The trial period was great, and I really wanted to become a member. The only thing that kept me from joining was .... gas. I live around 30 minutes away from the location and as you already know... making excess drives is not feasible right now. I really like that a person can log themselves to a bag using the Wrap app, keeping a log of their progress per session. It also makes it a lot easier to sign up for a class as well. They are in a very quaint location, but there is limited roadside parking, and you can't park on one side of the building due to it belonging to one of the businesses on the strip. You can park in the location closest to the restaurant that has outdoor seating. Very happy with the upkeep of the restrooms. I'm always going to give a heads up about a bathroom if I go to it, lol. Overall, I would say that you easily burn a minimum of 200 calories, and it is great accountability to stay active.

As a VCU alum, I get a pretty decent deal on gym memberships at VCU fitness facilities, which includes both MCV and CSG. While MCV is more convenient to where I work/live and is much less crowded, the CSG is much better equipped. The cardio machines are mostly the same as MCV, there is just a much larger quantity. There is a much better variety of weight equipment, which is very much appreciated. Perhaps my favorite part of CSG is the pool. While there are only a few swim lanes, there is a big open area with a deep end that allows me to get in some pool running. The only other such pool I am aware of in the area is 20 minutes south of town. My biggest complaint is the crowdedness of the gym when school is in session. Even with the large quantity of equipment, popular machines and racks can still be hard to find, particularly in the evenings after work. Additionally, while I love the self-locking lockers, half of them don't work.
