Best Fitness Center near Richmond, Kentucky

My new favorite gym in Richmond. I attended another “powerlifting” gym for a while where things were happening that I didn’t agree with and everyone talked about each other, etc. this gym has the family feel and everyone has been so nice to me. It’s always so clean and the staff are so friendly. Also so convenient to be able to get a shake after your lift.

The RAC is an awesome gym! The staff and owners are friendly and welcoming. They truly make you feel valued and sincerely want to get to know their members. The facility is always clean and equipment is well maintained. I love that they have a prayer request box...just another way they show their members how much they care about them. Thank you, April and JR, for all the love, energy, and care you put into creating a positive and safe workout environment for Richmond.

Friendly, helpful staff, laid back atmosphere that is good for both competitors and those who want to be healthier. Great protein shakes, and awesome fitness classes. This gym is my favorite place to workout in Richmond. The equipment is always working and I love seeing the results from lifting weights, doing cardio, and participating in some of the fitness classes here. Also, childcare is included in your membership and the gym has great hours! I highly recommend!

Someone please tell me why I’m getting a billing statement in mail after my 6 month contract expired on 01 March 2023, and I haven’t visited since. Someone needs to fix it. I’m not available to come in and sign any paperwork, I have more important things to take care of.

Highly recommend!! If you are looking for a chill atmosphere and good energy this is the place! Great gym for the community and is a welcoming place for all! (Kids, teenagers and adults!) Landon (the owner) does an amazing job at couching and fitness training! I have never felt more comfortable in a gym environment. If I could rate more stars I would!!

This is a great gym! Very good community of like minded people looking to make themselves better through fitness and hard work! Landon is a coach/owner who has set an atmosphere that is both welcoming and challenging at the same time and he does a great job meeting the needs of everyone who walks in the doors!

I joined MC Powerhouse with the aspirations of building muscle and competing in powerlifting. After trying many kinds of fitness models, I’ve enjoyed the old school vibe here. Landon does a great job programming with a Westside Barbell conjugate style to add strength and performance. My first sanctioned meet after being a member of MC Powerhouse, I hit personal records on squat, bench, and deadlift, and hit a state record for my weight class and division on bench press. Great community and strength gains without the frills!

Stop what you’re doing, cancel your commercial gym membership and head over to M.C. Powerhouse LLC in Richmond, KY and talk to Landon Carter! His prices are fair, his knowledge is first-class and you’ll exceed any fitness goals you’ve tried to obtain on your own. Plus, you’ll be joining a great community of people who are striving to get better, stronger and wiser on the daily! There’s plenty of parking, professional powerlifting equipment (such as the Monolift) and a no-nonsense environment, perfect for achieving your goals—whether it be purely strength or overall physical fitness. Stop by and talk to Landon, you won’t regret it!

Hidden gem for powerlifters. This gym has everything covered from Texas power bar, to deadlift bar, ssb, and more with wifi and Bluetooth speakers for the private gym feel at a fraction of the price.

The best place to workout! Coming here every morning is one of my favorite things of the day. Excellent workouts, childcare/child friendly, welcoming atmosphere. They cheer you on and encourage you throughout the whole workout. The trainers show you how to do everything and if you forget you can just walk up and ask them and they’ll show you again! I haven’t worked out in years and I’m so glad that I started here instead of another gym where I have to figure everything out myself.

Edge is the perfect place to start your fitness journey. My wife and I both go and we enjoy the encouraging, motivating, and challenging environment. Starting off the day with a hard workout makes the day feel easier and less stressful.

The environment encourages me to come often. Working out with others helps me to work out harder and for longer. The prescribed workouts take the thinking out of getting fit and staying healthy. It has made prioritizing my health way easier!

When I first came to Edge I wasn’t sure. I was use to your basic gym with classes. Edge is more than that tho. As you continue to go to the bootcamp style classes, you see the same faces and those faces become your friends and encouragers. Those hard classes are done with those friends, who make you laugh, because we are all struggling together. But, we always finish and come back wanting more. I love the extra push I get there, especially the extra challenge programs they have. Those challenges pushed me to work harder, gain strength/stamina, and lose 25 lbs. So, thank you Edge and all the Trainers who make all the classes and pushes us to do better! And of course making it fun!

I’ve been going to Edge for about 2 months now. My wife has gone for several years, but I never felt like it was for me. I don’t typically like working out, especially at a gym, but I’ve really enjoyed it at Edge. I like that I don’t have to walk in and look at a bunch of machines that I don’t know how to use and figure out a workout on my own. The workouts are different every day, so I don’t get bored of doing the same thing. The HIIT style workouts are always challenging, but not impossible (exercises can always be modified if needed). There are 4 different trainers and they’ve all been great. The thing I’ve liked the most is the community of people and individual friendships I’ve made. I’d definitely recommend Edge if you want to get in better shape, be healthier all around and workout with a community of people who will encourage and support you.

Back in October 2023, I reached a point in my life where I was in constant pain, heavier, and more unhealthy than I had been in years. I was lacking in energy, strength, and my mental state had gone through some serious deterioration. It was at this point I made the decision to change my life. Working with a health team, and a surgery later, I had gotten to the point in early May of 2024 where I knew the next step was to start exercising again. It was at this time, I saw an ad for a local business called Transcend Training. They said, "Come in for a free consultation, we are looking for people who want to change their lives." I figured it could not hurt to give this shot, and at the very least, I could see what was possible. My appointment with Peyton lasted about an hour, and I told her my story. She listened intently and actively, asking questions, and you could see a plan forming in her mind. It was such a positive experience. I got my clearance to begin physical activity and had my first session in mid-May. Now, I have said all of this to say the following: Transcend Training has completely transformed and continues to transform my journey to better health! The personal trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, tailoring workouts to my specific needs and goals. The atmosphere is welcoming and motivating, making it easy to stay consistent and you absolutely cannot walk-in without a smile forming and having a good time while working out. The energy in this place is palpably positive in the best way. I said recently, "I never thought I would actually look forward to exercising and WANT to come in and workout." More often than not, my sessions with Peyton at Transcend Training are exactly what I need and the progress has been evident. I've seen significant improvements in my strength, endurance, and overall well-being. There really are not enough words for me to recommend this place and its people as much as they deserve! If you are serious about wanting to get stronger, healthier, and happier, get in here and get on it! You will be glad you did! Whether it be personal training, team training, or stretch therapy, they can pretty well do it all!

Was I scared to start? YES! Was it worth the free consultation? ABSOLUTELY! In having issues with inflammation and wanting to start with bare bones and work my way up to working out, I couldn’t have asked for better support. The atmosphere when entering the gym isn’t like entering “another gym”. It doesn’t smell like a gym, give off the vibe of only certain people can workout here, it is an environment that everyone is welcome here vibe. Each week I look forward to the support, accountability, and goals that I set with Tanya. She is honest, open and supportive 110%. It’s the best motivation in a serious and upbeat environment. In the short time I have been going, I feel I have become part of a family and not just a number. The atmosphere is friendly, and most are willing to share where they started. They admit that the struggle is real, but to keep coming and listen to what Tanya is saying. They truly meet you where you are and want you to be the best you can be. Where do you want your journey to start? Make the call or fill out the online questionnaire and let Transcend Training become a part of that journey and be with you every step of the way!

As a postpartum mom, I was scared to get back to the gym, but Tanya made the process so approachable and encouraging. She helped me focus on creating a healthier, stronger version of myself—not just a weight loss journey, but a true lifestyle change. The atmosphere at the gym is amazing—positive, welcoming, and never intimidating. I’ve even worked out with Peyton, and it was such a comfortable and supportive experience. Everyone here makes you feel like you belong, no matter where you’re starting from. Thanks to Tanya, I’m not just hitting fitness goals—I’m feeling stronger and more confident in every area of my life. If you’re looking for a place to grow, challenge yourself, and make lasting changes, I can’t recommend Transcend Training enough!

I have been going to Transcend for almost 3 years. I am very happy with my results. My strength has increased steadily through my workouts with Tanya. I have also recently started Stretch Therapy with Chris. I saw immediate results with my mobility. My job requires me to get into and out of cars and walk a lot with 25-30 pounds of equipment. After the first week I noticed I was more comfortable moving around.

The Transcend Training community and environment is so supportive and welcoming. Tanya truly knows what she is doing and how to help you through whatever it is you are going through to support your health and wellness journey. She makes things fun and gives you all the knowledge you need to support yourself for a healthier lifestyle. I love coming here!!!

Kyle Webster is a terrific personal trainer! He provides well coordinated workouts tailored specifically for the individual. He evaluates my performance each session and always chooses the best path forward for the goals we discuss!
