I'm so happy I found this studio when I moved to Richmond! It's become my happy place where I can sweat away the stress of the workday. I was looking to get back into the swing of things after a decade-long hiatus since I quit dancing competitively, but wasn't sure where to start. Knowing how difficult it can be to find studios that offer dance classes for adults in most cities, I feel lucky that I did. I've never been a huge fan of traditional fitness classes and I've tried nearly all of them...Pilates, kickboxing, CrossFit, you name it. But I'm also not too keen on working out by myself at the gym because let's face it--it gets pretty boring. I wanted the social aspect of going to classes and meeting people who would hold me accountable to show up---and I knew my only shot at staying in shape was finding something fun that didn't feel like work. I used to find myself coming up with excuses to get out of other fitness classes that I had taken in the past but going to Turn is something I actually look forward to. It's become much more than a fitness routine for me--it's a community. read more

I was super excited when I saw that the Mind Body app had a free first class for this studio! It's right by my office, so I popped in after work to check out Urban Ballet. It was so fun! I have a background in dance, so it was pretty easy to jump into class as I was familiar with the terms. The instructor was super helpful though, so don't let being a beginner deter you! Urban Ballet was a great was to get my body moving after sitting at a desk all day at work, and the studio has such a fun and inviting atmosphere (shout out to the stranger who took my photo)! I am trying to make Urban Ballet a staple in my week, and I am looking forward to trying the other classes this studio offers like surf fit! read more

Turn Cardio Jam Studio - Dance Studios Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Wohooo! I've been to Turn a few times over the last year and it just gets better and better every time. I went to a bootcamp class this week that definitely left me winded and sore in the best possible way. Sandi, the owner, is a doll and was gettin' down and dirty with us throughout the class. Add a bangin' playlist to that and you've got yourself a 5 star workout studio! I love the variety of classes offered, the location, and the space itself. I can imagine it would be awesome to have the garage doors open during warmer weather! I'll keep dropping in to Turn whenever I feel like my workout routine needs variety. read more

I have been able to try a variety of classes here through a special I signed up for on their website. 10 classes for $50! Amazing deal for starters. Equipment is provided for you for each class if needed (Yoga Mat, Kettle Bells, Weights, Jump-ropes, etc.) I have taken the Pound Class (45 minute cardio w/ light weight sticks to todays music), Yoga, Urban Ballet, Urban Sculpt, Urban Boot Camp with this deal. For those that like Zumba or just dancing to upbeat music try the Dance Trance class!They have recently added Barre Classes! The instructors help you throughout the work outs as they are directing the class. The walls are lined with Full Body mirrors. I find this beneficial to see your body movements and make sure your aligned correctly! They are the only studio that offers Surf board Workouts in Richmond. Every exercise on the board is designed to engage your core & stabilizer muscles and shock the system to create real change inside & out. When you register online your account is set up to view all the classes,your schedule, workshops, appointments and also online store. Each class you click on gives a brief insight into each class. They also have a Facebook and Instagram account so you can see how some of the classes work and reviews from others. read more

I just finished the 2 weeks for $25 offer and LOVED it! First, for that price everyone should be signing up (I already recruited 3 friends to do it with me). Second, the atmosphere at this place is just fantastic. All of the instructors are fabulous...shoutout to Emily and Adrianne who have been pushing me to my limits :) The comfort level I immediately felt among both the instructors and the clients creates such a fun workout environment. The only place I didn't feel comfortable was in the ballet class - though that's due to my lack of experience. They have so much variety in both classes and times for their one room studio that it's impressive. As with all classes, not all instructors are equal. Some push you to the limit, while others are more easy on you...while still getting a good workout. That's why the new client offer is the best...it lets you find who you like. I will definitely be back to Emily's class for a butt kicking workout!! read more

A true opportunity to dance and move like nobody's watching, but hey... if someone is watching... who cares because you're sure to find and learn the routine to that song or songs that you know you look good dancing too! TCJS has several unique class options that your inner musical being will fall in love with! At Turn Cardio you can go into a trance while dancing to several different beats (DANCE TRANCE), become that hot drummer you always wanted to be while building some sexy hips and thighs (POUND), gracefully move across the room and elegantly dance on the bar (Urban Ballet) , or hardcore fitness with a gentle side... called active breaks (BOOTCAMP), and other fun classes! Music is an art that touches 95% of our population ( a recent study showed 5% of people aren't affected by music). That being said, at TCJS...you're bound to be touched and moved by all genres of music! read more

I took my first class here tonight, and it was amazing! It was a mix of hip hop and a cardio workout class and I loved it! I am dancer and teach dance classes as well as fitness barre classes and I thought the studio and teachers were great. The dances weren't too hard to follow along but were challenging enough to make it interesting! The class was way too fun to feel like a workout! If you love hip hop or are looking for a change in pace for your workouts, check TURN out ASAP!! Thank you for a great class read more

Love TURN!!! As a newcomer I have been SO welcomed by the staff & the attendees. Everyone knows your name & makes sure you get a killer workout! The environment is all support. I'm not a dancer by any means but love that they have an eclectic mix of classes that can be modified to any fitness level. The student discount is amazing! Love being able to register for classes and see the schedule from the Mind-Body app. There is ample street parking in Scott's Addition as well as behind the studio. Amazing instructors, wonderful workouts -- TURN is a hidden gem in the RVA community! read more

I cannot say enough great things about the Turn Cardiovascular Jam Studio. The environment and aesthetics of the studio are akin to what you would see in New York and other popular dance venues. The eclectic variety of dance classes offered ensure that you target all areas of the body which are critical to a cohesive workout. The best part is that attaining these results are never drab due to the courses emphasizing an entertainment atmosphere. The staff and patrons are friendly and helpful so you always have a sense of belonging. The owner is incredibly supportive and individualized cultivating a personal and intimate feel- the antithesis of those other big box gyms. read more

I love this studio. The instructors are nice and welcoming plus it's a lot of fun. There are plenty of classes to choose from whether you want to dance or do yoga. I would suggest trying all the classes to see which you like better. read more

I was in town visiting family and needed a place to work out that was unique and different. I'm so glad I found Turn Cardio! They have an amazing studio in Scott's Addition and although fairly new to the area, their studio is wonderful! Huge space, bathrooms, open studio with new mirrors, awesome lighting, bumping sounds, and great floors! I had a blast doing Urban Ballet (think Barre but harder and with a dance element) and Dance Trance. I know the Pound Fitness classes are always popular and there's a program for everyone. Prices are comparable to monthly gym memberships. The instructors and the students are so nice and inviting! read more

Best studio around. Super chill and not intimidating in the slightest. I get a little nervous with small gyms that I won't fit in, but not a worry here. Urban Sculpt will kick your butt and POUND is my jam. All of the instructors that I've seen are very accommodating and will work with you no matter your skill level. Totally recommend. read more

Hallelujah I have found a forever (workout) home! I've been around Richmond, I've tried yoga at various studios and barre at Richmond Barre and Pure Barre, but I was looking for something more affordable, more fun/varied, and closer to the city. Turn delivers on all these, and then some. I love the variety of classes, from Dance Trance to Pound to Bootcamp, and now yoga! The instructors and staff are so helpful and kind, and I don't think I've ever felt nervous or unwelcome coming in like you do at other gyms (especially when you're not a "regular" like everyone else seems to be!). The studio space is also a huge plus-- the floor is gorgeous, and the sound system is amazing (and pumping most of the time!!). Most of all though I have to say that the main reason I keep going, and keep telling my friends to go, is because of the diversity in clientele. There are women (and a few men) of all ages, shapes and sizes, ability levels, etc. And somehow the instructors manage to tailor every class to that diverse clientele and make it challenging for everyone. Oh-- and the Scott's Addition location is perfect! Parking on the street is always easy and the location is only 7 minutes from the Fan in rush hour traffic. I LOVE TURN!!! read more
