Fitness & Gyms near Waynesboro, VA

“If you've ever wanted to feel like Rocky Balboa without the inconvenient side effect of living in a movie montage, this is the place for you. First off, the free weights are excellent. They range from "I'm just here for the Instagram photo" to "I could probably lift a car if I tried." I managed to bench press the bar, and only the bar, but I did it with style. The staff cheered me on like I was competing in the Olympics.The trainers here are like motivational quotes come to life. They're friendly, supportive, and have an uncanny ability to appear right when you're about to cheat on your last rep. They even offer personalized advice, like how to untangle yourself from the resistance bands without looking like a flailing octopus.The track is perfect for those who enjoy the illusion of progress. I’ve managed to jog a full lap without collapsing, which is a new personal best.The treadmills have multiple TV's above them to distract you from the reality that you're running in place. I enjoy pretending I’m jogging through the Food Network channel.Finally, the variety of weight equipment is astonishing. There are machines for muscles I didn’t even know existed. One of them looked like a medieval torture device, but the friendly staff assured me it was for my "core," which I assume is gym-speak for "entertainment for other gym-goers."Overall, Shenandoah powerhouse is a great place to get fit and occasionally humiliate yourself in a supportive environment. Just remember to wipe down the equipment after use—no one likes a sweaty bench.”

“Overall great place to workout. Excellent staff. Clean bathrooms and showers. Only downfall would be that it takes them forever to fix the equipment when its down. Same equipment has been down for several weeks.”

“Going there for therapy on my right hand to regain use following surgery to repair severe trauma to my middle and ring fingers. Working with a certified hand therapist and she is great.”
