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. I use to go to another kickboxing place and this is really great for letting out any frustrations and feeling good after. You get a free first time class so worth the try!

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.

This place is slightly hidden off of West Broad Street and I was a little lost trying to find it,…read morebut I gave them a call and the staff was super helpful in directing me to the exact location. It is in the same shopping center as Bella Rosa Bridal, but on the other side (not facing Broad St.) Also, there are plenty of parking spots! I attended the Muay Thai Kickboxing class with two of my friends last Thursday from 7-8pm. We came a little early to sign a waiver before class and got a mini tour of the facility. The women's locker room is so nice! It is small compared to most average locker rooms, but it is efficient and I like it. No need to bring your toiletries! There are showers equipped with soap, shampoo & conditioner, bathroom stalls, lockers (they do not have locks, so I suggest leaving valuables at home or hidden in your car), hair dryer, towels, lotion, and of course if you are like me that goes to a gym without a hair tie, they got that covered too. The owner and another staff member showed us how to properly wrap up our hands before class and helped us get our gloves and shin guards on. The class instructor was friendly and detailed-oriented. I did not expect him to give my friends and I one-on-one time, especially being in a class with experienced individuals. However, he split the class up and we were able to learn the basics of kickboxing with the punching bag. He offered great techniques and constantly encouraged us till the very end of class. This class was definitely a great cardio workout and I would recommend this to anyone who is interested! Before I left the facility, I used their InBody 230 scale to get my body composition analysis done. This is definitely really cool to see at a fitness center. When I was an undergraduate studying Exercise Science we had a hand-held body comp analysis that only gave me the basic stats. This was definitely more detailed and I was able to learn about my skeletal muscle mass, percentage of body fat, total body water etc. I look forward to attending more classes in the future and even try new ones!

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've belonged to Gold's Gym for years and have found myself not going at all anymore, and just going to CO2Fit classes instead. Seo changes the exercises up regularly so you aren't bored doing the same thing all the time. She is also really good about working with your specific fitness level / needs. I have weak wrists from years of doing gymnastics, so it's hard for me to do exercises where my full body weight is on my wrist. She is so good now that she just automatically gives me an alternate exercise when we have heavy wrist weight activities! I regularly go to CO2Fit Xpress, Surf, and Running Group. I've also gone to Pound and BootCamp. I have no complaints about any of them!

I was in Richmond visiting my sister and wanted to get some training in while I was up there. I…read moreusually train in Miami, so I reached out to Mongrel BJJ through their website just to see if I could drop in. Frank actually called me himself and we started texting from there. He made it easy and told me to come by. When I showed up, JB took care of me right away. He gave me a full tour and made me feel like I had been there before. The space really impressed me. Two large mat areas with plenty of room to move, heavy bags set up, and a full strength and conditioning area in the back. They even have a massage therapist right next door. It is honestly one of the nicest setups I have seen. JB ran the class I attended and he stood out immediately. Super personable, remembered my name, and just had that easygoing presence that puts people at ease. You can tell he has a deep well of experience, but he carries it in a grounded way. He represents what you hope to find in the jiu jitsu community. The training environment was great. Everyone was friendly, joking around, and still serious about getting better. I never felt out of place or pressured. The adult gi class had a good mix of skill levels, and the techniques we worked on were practical with smart variations that I can actually use. After the instruction we got some solid rounds in and I left feeling like I had a real session, not just a drop in workout. What really stood out to me was that the day after I trained, Frank texted me to ask how everything went. That meant a lot. It showed me they are not just running classes, they actually care about the people who walk through the door. I will absolutely be back the next time I am in Richmond. Whether you are brand new or have been training for years, this is a place where you can grow and enjoy the process.

The students and instructors are welcoming and dedicated, and work very hard to make sure everyone feels comfortable. Richmond BJJ covers both self-defense and sport jiu jitsu applications. They also offer muay thai classes which I do not have experience with, but that seem to be well-attended. This gym is extremely female friendly. It can be nerve wracking to come into a male-dominated gym, but not once has any student or instructor made me feel unwelcome or uncomfortable. Liz occasionally hosts women's classes that are great for building relationships with other women in jiu jitsu. Not only that, but it's amazing to be able to consistently train with a woman who is as knowledgeable about jiu jitsu as Liz. She can speak to many questions that women and/or smaller people might have about using technique over strength to defend yourself against a larger opponent. Excellent school all around!
