“I wish I had joined sooner.
The support, the camaraderie, the community, the positivity. Better late than never. Sometimes life can get tough (I had been missing my work-out partner, someone who was very close to my heart), but the immense amount of support I have received from not only the instructors, but members in just a few weeks of me joining has given me boost I needed. I now have many work-out partners!
Y’all are great.
(P.S. Been loving Thara’s classes! ?)”
“WOW!! I can’t say enough great things about this gym!! Brett, the owner, has the biggest heart and is one of the nicest, most supportive people I’ve gotten to know. I have been training with Maggie and can genuinely say she has become a close friend. She has made me feel comfortable from the very beginning, truly cares to hear about my day, and has helped me reach my goals over and over again. I literally can’t imagine ever working out without her by my side encouraging me along the way. This is not just a gym but really feels like a family!! You won’t regret joining such a welcoming establishment!!”
“I’ve been part of CrossFit NewFound for almost a decade, and it’s hard to overstate the impact this place has had on my life. The coaches are fantastic, knowledgeable, encouraging, and always watch my form to keep me training safely. The community is what keeps me coming back: real friendships, constant encouragement, and a group of people who genuinely want to see each other succeed. It’s motivating, it’s fun, and it feels like home. If you’re looking for a place where you’ll be challenged and supported, this is it.”
“Really great experience at this gym. The staff were friendly and there was plenty of space and equipment for me to get a great workout in. I highly recommend utilizing the different cardio machines they have available, definitely will be back”
“Absolutely love Burn Midlo!! The trainers are the best & the welcoming atmosphere is amazing. You never have the awkward gym feeling, everyone is so nice, the members push and motivate each other. 10 out of 10 recommend!”
“Fantastic coaches at CrossFit Midlo that are dedicated toward helping member achieve goals and are mindful of form and safety. The people throughout the gym that are involved in the community and supporting one another”
“2025 - it’s been almost 4 years since I joined this gym and this is still the best. If I ever have to move out of Virginia, the thought of trying out other CrossFit gyms makes me anxious because I don’t know if any other gym can replicate the culture Joyride has. Joyride people are my only friends in RVA. A lot changed in the last 3 years, including the deterioration of my knees. Coach Gaela was very supportive and understanding of my new needs and let me adapt to a less intensive version of certain workouts. People don’t bully you into working out beyond your physical limits here, they motivate you to be in your best shape. Whether you are a professional athlete or a laidback casual gym goer, it is THE gym for you.
2021 - This place has a very inclusive and supportive environment. I love the fact that it’s run by some amazing and strong women. They are very attentive to my personal goals too.”
“Walking into the Manchester YMCA feels like stepping into a healthier version of Cheers, where everyone knows your name and makes you feel right at home. Just like Norm's warm welcome at the bar, the staff and members at the YMCA greet you with friendly smiles and genuine enthusiasm. The supportive community, private trainer, and fitness classes create an environment where you can thrive both physically and mentally. It's a place where you belong, and every visit feels like coming home.”
“Visited this location on today's date. The gym was exceptionally clean and spacious, locker rooms were great as well. Nicholas, the Team Manager on staff in the afternoon/evening ~4pm is a great man as well! Very professional, hospitable, and kind.”
“Overall good experience. No designated place to stretch, no stretching mats, and no sauna. They did have massage chairs, hydrochairs, and tanning beds. Bathrooms and showers were clean.”
“My man Roger is killing it with my son. Been looking for someone for a while that can help take him to the next level in strength and agility. Kaine gets excited every time it’s gym time. Looking forward to the next couple years training with Roger!!! WVU strong!!!”

“I have major gym intimidation, but the trainers have made me feel so welcome and are truly there for me if I have any questions at all. They’ve given me more confidence and have shown me that I can go a lot farther than I think I can. Absolutely the best gym experience I’ve ever had!!”
“Dropped in for a week while I was in town for work. Great gym with friendly coaches and members. Super welcoming and hard working. Will definitely be back next time I’m in the area”
“I have been a member of the #FitPhil zone inside the MAC for almost 1 year and had an incredible experience from the start. The staff at the MAC have been very encouraging and positive and the personal trainer Phil has been amazing. He takes time to intentionally select workout that stabilize and grow different muscle groups while also teaching individualized advice on diet/lifestyle. The Fit Phil zone has been one of my favorite things I have been apart this past yr!”
“Just an amazing vibe and truly excellent instruction. Rotha is a breath of fresh air — knowledgeable, encouraging, and so easy to learn from. I thoroughly enjoyed every session I attended, especially the yoga classes. Thank you all for being so welcoming and supporting me on my fitness journey. I would highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for great energy and great people.”
“This is definitely the most bang you will get for your buck at any gym in town! Even at peak hours, there is plenty of open equipment, and the selection of equipment is suitable for lifters of any ability. Would highly recommend for anyone in the area that needs a place to work out with great facilities and affordable dues.”

“I took a two month break from working out due to a surgery and decided to visit Endorphasm as my first workout back. WOW! I got a fantastic workout! It was a solid hour of high intensity work. I'm in a wheelchair and the owner Erica, took the time to modify the workout so I could work hard and keep up with the other folks. The staff is great and did a great job motivating me. I highly recommend Endorphasm for a no BS high energy workout!”
“We are proud supports of this facility run by a decent family. We wish the youth all the success this year and a sprinkle of a bit more for good measure. Seek them out they are great owners and staff”
“I throughly enjoy going by this shop to purchase my morning pick me up!! CC and her sister are amazing!! Very nice and clean shop and the shakes are delicious! My favorite is the Lemon lime w/ the lift, Orange Sherbet and of course Cookies and Cream!!”
“I usually come around lunchtime when it’s quieter, and I can finish my workout without rushing. The treadmill section is my favorite because the machines respond smoothly and don’t feel shaky. A couple of dumbbells are missing small weight labels, which can be confusing at first. Still, after a few visits you get used to it. Staff is polite and keeps things moving when it gets slightly busy.”
“Absolutely the friendliest and best staff. A wonderful family environment and atmosphere. Love this place. The renovations for part 1 are almost done and it is absolutely amazing for the children”
“Great Location. This is the 3rd volleyball camp our daughter has attended here. Very large facility, with 8 courts for practice or games. The sitting area is upstairs. When games are played here, you need to bring your own chairs to sit in. Nothing fancy. Snack and drink machine. Men's, Women's and Family bathroom. Always good coaches. Easy access off of Chippenham Highway. Traffic can get a little congested on Midlothian. Large parking area.. Always clean.”
“The perfect spot for me to continue my recovery from a hop replacement, with several different machines to increase and restore leg strength, and treadmill where I can be entertained with a TV program while doing some otherwise boring miles of walking here when the weather outside is unpleasant.”

“Great gym!
-Consistently clean weight rooms, locker rooms, and pool area
-Polite staff
-Enough benches and machines so that you're almost never waiting to use something, even during their busiest hours
-Some unique machines that you won't normally see at other gyms like the treadwall and certain cable machines upstairs
-Classes that are included with your membership
Just a note for others that may see the complaint about a 3 day pass. Every gym I've ever been to has made the trial period run from time/day A to time/day B, even if you didn't go every day during that period. It would be incredibly uncommon and even rare for a facility to allow multiple trial days that were not back to back. I imagine the man that made that comment is new to the gym and was just ignorant of common practices for trial periods.”

“I recently starting my gym experience and this is the best Golds in the area. The entire staff is super helpful but I need to shout out Chris! He is here almost everyday I come, which is a lot, and he is so helpful, positive and just goes above and beyond. Thanks for your kindness and always being a friendly face! Keep doing what you guys are doing! It's Great!!!”
“I’ve been a member of AmFam for almost 10 years and I’m just getting to this review, smh! I’m an absolute fan of this place! I’ve been to almost all locations and although it’s one of the smaller facilities Colonial Height has my heart! First the staff… JOHN, DERRICK, DJ, MELISSA, SHEENA, & BEN (those are the only ones I know by name) and all of the other staff members are unmatched! They always have a smile, words of encouragement (sometimes quite witty), and helpful. The facility is clean and taken care of. The upgraded equipment and machines are appreciated and nice. I like that the sauna is co-ed so you end up having some great conversations and laughs while getting to know your fellow gym members and take your mind off the heat and sweat! While I hope and wish one day we would return to the 24 hour model, I’ll suck it up because I’ve tried others and they don’t compare. Heck John even got Ben to walk me to my car because I was scared the Geese/ ducks were gonna attack me, lol! AmFam I’m here to stay- Thank you!”

“I've been a member here since they opened and have had a great experience. Arminia is an amazing GM and she's very in tune with what's going on in the gym and with it's members. She's always open to feedback and willing to support us whenever possible.”
“This YMCA is full a programs, activities for all age groups! The flexibility of the schedules for ex classes is fantastic for any timeframe during the week. This facility is always clean and the staff welcoming and friendly!”
