Open since December, 2010, membership is month-by-month, with no contracts and no new member fee. Constantly growing in equipment, they just recently added a Monolift for heavy squatting. It has bands, chains, kettlebells, lots of heavy iron and a welcome, hardcore attitude that encourages you to push to be your very best. It's been one of the very best things about my move to Kentucky from California.

If the staff were half as friendly and competent as the members, I would almost have one thing positive to say about this gym. If you actually decide to waste your money here, God forbid you try to cancel your membership as they will put a hold on your account, rather than canceling it, so they can continue to charge you monthly as well as tack on additional "annual" and "equipment" fees. Once you go back for the second time to try to finally cancel your account, they'll hit you with almost $50 worth of "Cancellation" fees, as if they haven't stolen enough of your money already. Plenty of other exceptional gyms to chose from in Richmond that I would recommend to a friend in a heartbeat, unless of course you just need to waste some money.

An updated review of Planet Fitness here in Richmond. The staff is amazing. Super friendly and…read morehelpful. The hydro bed is great and there's usually not a line for it. The massage chair hits the spot if you are aching or just need to loosen those muscles up. The tanning beds are ok. Bed 4 is really scratched up on the surface but bed 5 is good. Still haven't tried out the stand up beds but plan on doing so in the future. It's always clean inside which is a huge plus. The reason it doesn't get 5 stars is that the gym is more focused in cardio training than weight training and for me that's causes them to lose a star

This place was modern, well-designed, clean spaces, and very new machines! I loved that I was able…read moreto control the elevation on the elliptical machine, which many others do not have yet. Also the stair-climbing machines were very modern and good to use for HIIT workouts. Be sure to bring a padlock as they do not have the lockers with the combination locks attached.

Edge is the BEST thing that has happened to me, in my fitness journey. I wasn't a fan of…read moretraditional gyms or really even working out. I was gaining weight, felt crummy, and just generally needed to work on my health. I joined EBBC in February but didn't adjust my diet. I could tell a difference and I was definitely starting to feel better but results weren't coming as quickly as I would've liked. I joined the Summer Shred and I have loved it! The shred has shown me how to eat healthy, without forgoing the things that I love. I'm still able to have all my favorites but I'm more aware of what fuel my body needs. I feel SO much better and I feel so much more informed about what I'm eating. Some things are such simple substitutions and I will never go back to how I was living. I have burned fat, toned muscle, and overall lost inches simply from following simple macros. Jules teaches you all about macros, weight loss, and how important it is to fuel your body with what it needs. She is always there to answer questions, day or night. Having a plan and having people to hold you accountable makes all the difference. I was told results are made in the kitchen and I couldn't agree more! I can tell I'm getting so much stronger in (and out of) the gym - mentally, and physically! The Shred isn't just physical, it is mental just as much. I had to make a choice for myself and Jules shared early on, that time was going to pass no matter how we responded and it made me really consider where I wanted to be 6 weeks from now. I'm so glad I took the plunge and I am so happy not only with my results but to keep working on my goals! EBBC as a whole is great and there's no place I'd rather spend an hour a day. Exercise is hard, "dieting" is hard, but EBBC and the group that comes with it, makes the process so much more enjoyable. 10/10 would recommend - come sweat with me ... it's just your fat crying

On a personal note, my buddy who also went there for a while and I later saw the head dude in town and said hi to him and called him shifu (instructor-what we called him in class) and he replied that since my friend was no longer a member he "didn't have the right to call him that" -- I thought of several other titles that seemed fitting. I was also a bit freaked out by how gross the mats were. When I wrestled in school we had to really clean the mats before we put them away so that people didn't get warts from them. I know no one likes cleaning, but it's a pretty important part of running a gym.

I've come in multiple times before trying to get information about enrolling my kid and the director is never there/not enough employees to be able to step out and help me.

Why have a business if you're never there and the staff can't help me because they don't have access or the answers i'm looking for?
