Had a BLAST. The instructor, Bakari had such a great sense of humor! He kept us focused and I was engaged. I chose this during Yelp fit club because it fell on my birthday weekend. 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. read more

See all

I took a free Yelp class to try my first cross fit class. This was awesome!! We had a good size group 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! read more

So my best friend decided to wanted to do a boot camp intro class for her birthday and like fools, our other friend and I agreed to join her. I'll be honest, the workout was fun, but I feel like death! That was the longest 12 minute circuit of my life, but I'm glad I did it. Our instructor Bakari was fun and encouraging, and so was everyone else who participated. I'm not sure I would do it again because I am pretty out of shape and I JUST made it through. But, if you are even just a little motivated, I definitely feel like it's worth a shot. read more

The CrossFit classes, instructors and programming are great but this place is way more than just your average box. Regardless of whether you want to try CrossFit, barbell (Olympic lifting), yoga, or RVAFit (boot camp-style workouts) classes, you can be confident that each class will be expertly taught in an inclusive setting, no matter your fitness level. read more

I started going to this gym thanks to a friend! The environment is warm and welcoming I joined the gym and drive 20 minutes everyday to participate in a group fitness class. The instructors are motivating and will definitely make sure you meet your goals. If you are nervous about working out in a group setting check this gym out for a comfortable fun motivating atmosphere! read more

Good sized gym, good WOD, nice enough people... Just not overly friendly or personable, especially the owner. They come off too much like they're all about the business side and not the health/wellness/community aspect of a box. read more

I went here yesterday for the Yelp Fit Club! I have to say I thought it was going to be a Crossfit workout BUT it was still great! Bakari did an awesome job keeping a huge group engaged and accountable. We had a stretch warmup that lasted 20 minutes, then we had a 12 minute circuit- 1 minute on 20 seconds off. Lastly, we finished with a minute of burpees! It was a wonderful workout for beginners! He made sure to incorporate moves that worked out the full body. This is a perfect gym for beginners and more advanced folks. I'll definitely be dropping in for a WOD one of these days! Thank you! read more

Had a blast today with my daughter. Our first cross fit training was awesome. Looking forward to more sweat days, lol. We enjoyed the first day of boot camp with our group. Being in groups make it so much more fun and encouraging. Let's keep getting fit RVA!! read more

I have never struggled and felt so motivated at the same time. CJ is an incredible, patient, and dream come true of a trainer. The entire facility is top notch as well as every person I've encountered thus far. Cannot wait to continue working towards actual goals and see what's next! read more

The best! Lots of space, great equipment, great coaches, great people! I have been to a lot of CrossFit boxes around the country, and CrossFit RVA is seriously one of the best. read more

I have been consistently impressed with these guys over the past 2 years. They have helped me recoup from shoulder ROM limitations that stem from an old injury years ago. Rather than shy away from my incessant questions, the instructors are always super informative with advice and scaling when needed. The move to pair everyone with specific instructor so they can have individualized coaching while working on long and short term goals was an attention to detail that I didn't expect. It has helped challenge my athleticism and increase my skill set in ways that I was not expecting. I highly recommend CrossfitRVA to both new and seasoned athletes who enjoy cross-training. read more

We came for my bff's birthday outing and completed the yelp fit club boot camp with Bakari. Broke me ALL the way down but we had a great time. read more

First time trying crossfit and it was a great experience. I really enjoyed how supportive everyone was. Bakari, the instructor, did an excellent job making sure the exercises were done properly. Really had fun with the workout, will definitely recommend to others to at least give it a try regardless of what you may think about crossfit. read more

Best group of people around that love pure exercise. And the social aspect of it is even better!! You never find that in a global gym

I was in town visiting Richmond and decided to drop in to WOD at RVA. Best part of my trip to area! These guys have a great environment, loads of energy in the class and above all, great coaching. If I'm ever in town again, I will make a point to come back in. Thanks for the awesome WOD! read more

When I work out on my own I get bored every every 2 months, suffer through the 3rd and then try something new. Crossfit RVA is the cure. Camaraderie, support, personal challenge, competition and lots of fun BS-ing is the name of the game. Working so hard has never been so easy. All I have to do is show up and the current sweeps me through a painful, sweaty, exhausting and very fun workout, with friends, every day. I have never pushed myself to the limits (physically and nutritionally) that Crossfit RVA does anywhere else. There are team diet challenges that have got me down to 11% body fat (= RIPPED)! read more

Been going to RVA CrossFit for a few weeks and am already seeing great progress in my conditioning, coordination, and energy levels. CJ and the rest of the team are truly personable and great coaches to show you fundamentals and make sure you get a great workout! read more

Everyone here really is great. I came from a gym that was very much a family and thats rare, so I really wasn't expecting anything like that after moving here. I was wrong and couldn't be happier about it. I started off with Bryan Munoz, who is thoughtful, patient, personable and supportive. I warned him that I'm not very coordinated and kind of a slow learner and it didn't slow him down at all, he worked with me patiently and never got frustrated. Almost everyone says hi or offers encouragement (all the employees, some of the other gym-goers), which is huge. It can be hard to stay motivated but everyone here is so friendly and supportive that it makes it ten times easier. I love it here! I always leave tired, sore and feeling like a part of the team. read more

This gym is bigger than the others I have visited. Also, the instructors here compared to most gyms actually pay attention and care about meeting your goals. The bonus to me is that they are very well educated and they go over and beyond to satisfy my needs. It is by far the best gym I have worked out in. I have so much fun and I get into shape. I've become friends with many and we all live a healthy and positive life! I encourage everyone who reads my review to go check them out. My personal story is that I was once 273lbs. And struggled with losing weight and getting in shape for about ten years. I tried every gym from ATL to RVA. While attempting a neutral diet every three months or so. Everything was a failure until I walking in CFRVA. I felt like a big fat loser and I wanted a change so badly. I was so happy I found this gym. I never felt alone. We all had some kind of goal and we grouped together to make that happen. From friends, new comers, trainers to owners we all supported each other. My favorites are partner wods. Saturday's Burpees and Brunch. Social gatherings outside the gym and the performance nutritional challenge. They have so many events to go to from SuperFit to weightlifting meets. After one year with this gym TODAY I WEIGH 211lbs. And I thank every team member at CrossFit RVA for not giving up on me and teach me not to give up on myself. read more

Amazingly spacious with extremely helpful and knowledgeable Instructors who provide support, and scaling suggestions, if needed. This place has now become my happy place filled with good people whom are now great friends! read more

I was a CrossFit hater for a long time. Then I got tired of not getting any stronger "lifting" on my own. My best friend finally convinced me to try CF and I was instantly hooked. If you have a competitive nature about you and are looking to foster friendships while working to better yourself, this is the place to do it! And the coaches are awesome, fun, super smart, and extremely helpful! If you've ever thought about trying CF, give them a call and set up an intro session. You won't regret it! Don't think you're up to tackle CF but would still like to reap the benefits and join a fitness community? Try the RVAFit class at CrossFit RVA. This bootcamp style class is still very challenging yet fun! RVAFit will help you meet your fitness goals and can serve as a stepping stone for CrossFit classes. read more

CrossfitRVA is a great place to learn good fundamentals and basics if you are a beginner and also a great place if you are a serious athlete. The facility has everything you need to reach your goals and the staff present to help. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone if they are looking for a good atosphere and challenging workouts to make you better at you. The owner Jake is receptive to as well and will fix any reasonable issue the members may have as well. read more
