“This is an amazing group fitness gym! The trainers do an amazing job of motivating you while helping to adapt the workout to your level of experience and ability to make it the perfect challenge. Great variety in the workouts as well to keep it from getting stale. Staff is super friendly, it is very clean and it is one of the best communities I have ever experienced in the fitness world.”
“I LOVEEEEE 9Round! Best gym in Charlottesville and the entire world pretty much.
If you can dedicate 30 mins to improve your wellbeing, I totally suggest this place! You WILL NOT regret it!!!!!”
“I actually look forward to my workouts at Ironwolf! Laura has thoughtfully planned each workout (every one is different) and maybe more incredibly, she’s created a hard-working and kind gym community.”

“I dropped in for a morning WOD while in town for work. Excellent Coaches and they were very welcoming. The WOD was well worth my time and the space is great. I met a few of the members and all were kind, welcoming, and interested to hear about other boxes l'd belonged to around the country.
Strongly recommend to anyone traveling to Charlottesville, Virginia and wanting to drop in for a WOD or two, or three.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Ps. 6 mins drive away. You can get amazing coffee at Mudhouse Speciality Coffee Roasters.”

“I dropped in on one of their Saturday partner workouts with my partner, who is a member (I am not a member, but they allow members to bring in non-members for the partner workouts free of charge - super awesome)!
Brendan (or Brendon - not sure how to spell his name) was an awesome coach and teacher and really helped me with my form as a beginner. He catered to each of us individually and it was overall just a great time. Would recommend!!”
“After 26 years, this is still my favorite form of exercise. Jazzercise stays up-to-date with the latest research, bringing us an incredible mix of cardio, strength, and stretch--all in one hour class. I love working out with a variety of ages and exercising to really fun music. (Added benefit is that I keep up with what is new in the music world!)”

“I really enjoyed going to this gym. I will return when I can afford it again. It is quite expensive but being someone who works night shift I loved coming here after work and it was so peaceful! You really do get what you pay for though so I am not really complaining!”
“One of the coolest gyms I’ve dropped into in a long while. The atmosphere was fantastic and the members I met were extremely kind
Kaylynn, the owner, was very gracious with her time and gave us all the guidance we needed to get going, even during unstaffed hours
All of us hit PRs during the session and YOU will, too”
“Orangetheory is so much more than just a great 60-minute high-intensity workout class—it’s a community. From day one, I was welcomed with open arms by both the coaches and the front desk staff. They genuinely take the time to get to know you, remember your name, and make you feel like you belong.
The coaches are incredible. They bring energy, motivation, and expertise to every class while making sure members of all fitness levels feel supported and challenged. They truly care about helping you reach your goals and celebrate your progress along the way. What sets Orangetheory apart is the people. The members and staff create an environment that feels like family. They encourage you, hold you accountable, and make showing up easier!”

“I was in town for the weekend and looking to train somewhere with access to a deadlift bar. Owner responded quickly to my questions about equipment and how to access a day pass. Fantastic pricing for the equipment at this location. A no frills gym in terms of aesthetics but has exactly what you need if you're looking to build strength. Would recommend to others and would definitely visit again when back in the area.”

“Nice location with almost everything you need for a good workout. Bring your own towel if you plan to shower. While the facility is usually clean and kept up, sometimes soap in showers, paper towels, and trash cans need attention. They don't have full-time janitorial staff, which explains these minor issues.”
“Fantastic food; ordering apps that work seamlessly, incredible efficiency, friendly staff. An amazing dining experience! A wee bit pricey, but high-quality food, so worth it IMO.”
“I really enjoy working out at Slaughter Recreation Center because the facility offers a fantastic, energetic atmosphere.
The indoor basketball courts are always well-maintained and perfect for jumping into a quick pickup game.
Additionally, they have a solid selection of cardio equipment and weight machines lined up right next to the courts.
The vibrant student vibe makes it a highly motivating environment to break a sweat, even when it gets crowded during peak hours.
I highly recommend checking it out if you want to shoot some hoops or get a solid workout in!”

“Although it’s a bit pricey, it’s probably the best gym/fitness center around town (other than ones from the university). You can definitely get your money’s worth if you take advantage of everything they have to offer. Downtown location is nice. Staff is helpful and kind. Equipment is solid. Classes are enjoyable. I would recommend people to join.”
“LOVE! Lynette gave me a tour of the gym and my next pay check I’m joining the black card. Lynette made the gym feel fun l, she told me every thing I needed to know and answered my 10,000 questions without getting annoyed like other gyms and and made me feel like I was already apart of the community already! Thank you, Lynette.”

“Cleanliness is generally good, especially in the morning shift. Staff seems to take quick rounds to tidy up machines. I did notice sweat wipes running out once or twice in the evening. That was quickly restocked after mentioning it. The gym feels structured, not chaotic, which helps me stay focused on workouts without distractions.”
“I have attended several gyms in the area, but this one is hands down the BEST. Perfect and extensive equipment selection, whether you're a beginner or a bodybuilder. Lots of friendly faces, access to energy drinks, and extremely clean. HIGHLY recommend.”
“Sat in the Cafe and got some school stuff done while I was in Charlottesville for the day. It was refreshing to see all the kids doing something productive and getting along instead of going crazy in the streets and trying to hurt each other. Seems like a good place.”

“I've been going here for a month and I've really enjoyed this gym. They have everything you need for weightlifting. The cost is reasonable and everything I've needed has always been there. Would love to have towels for wiping down machines, but otherwise this gym is perfect.”
“I've been a member at Solidarity for 3 years now, and it's hands-down the best gym I've been to. The coaches program workouts with intention, and each day's warm-up is catered to the movements in the workout, which isn't something I've found at every gym. The coaches are all extremely knowledgeable about the movements, which also means they are great at providing modifications to any exercise/movement that might be needed. The community at Solidarity is very friendly! The folks at every class are extremely welcoming, and there are lots of opportunities throughout the year for the whole gym to socialize and get to know people in other classes.
I highly recommend anyone looking for a gym (at ANY level) to give solidarity a try!! look forward to going everyday!”
