Would've been in it regularly when I was competing in triathlon. Now, probably not so much unless I feel like I need some serious cross training. I keep hearing it's a nightmare during peak hours, so I haven't been during peak hours. UPDATE: Just got back from a peak hour visit, and it is indeed a mad house. There is also no semblance of order or organization of equipment. Also, there's no culture of wiping down equipment here. Ugh! Reasonably priced thanks to tons of competition. HATE their stupid policy of soliciting all of your information before they even show you around under the guise of it being a liability waiver, which is BS.

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. Couldn't recommend both more!

I'm extremely disappointed in this Crunch franchise (JF Fitness of North America) for their…read morecomplete lack of transparency and customer service. While my trainer Chris Patterson and the staff have been fantastic, management--especially Fitness Director Nick May--has been the opposite. I have 44 fully paid, unused personal training sessions at the Glenside location. I was told in writing that my sessions never expire, yet no one disclosed that they cannot be used at any other Crunch location. After moving to Norfolk, I learned that these sessions are locked to this single franchise, something that was never mentioned when I signed up and something most customers would reasonably assume would transfer between Crunch gyms. How come I can use any crunch gym with my membership, but my sessions won't transfer? JF Fitness has offered zero real solutions--just "sell your sessions" or drive hours back to Richmond. No one will buy them, and I no longer live there. I even tried to coordinate a transfer and was initially led to believe it might be possible, only for management to completely dismiss it. The lack of honesty, accountability, and basic customer service from Nick May and upper management is unacceptable. This feels misleading and unethical, and I will be reporting it to the Better Business Bureau for failure to disclose critical information. Shame on JF Fitness for taking advantage of loyal members and hiding behind franchise loopholes instead of doing what's right.

Otherwise the gym is always clean and the staff is very positive and attentive! 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.

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.
