Best Gym near Stafford, Virginia

To say that Pure Barre Stafford has changed my life would be an understatement!!! The instructors Chelsea, Hannah, Julie, Rachel, Dominique, Kelly, Jessica, Ashley, and Kathy are the absolute BEST and they truly care about your success!! This community of women are the most welcoming, uplifting, motivating, inspiring, powerful, and friendly people you will ever meet! I came here to improve my health but what I’ve gained has been so much more! I have gained strength, confidence, self worth, energy, better health, and many new amazing friends!!! I can’t imagine my life without Pure Barre now!! I am so blessed to be a part of this uplifting community full of positivity, passion, strength, and encouragement that has truly made this my happy place!!!

Pure Barre classes were recommended to me by a trainer and the crew at Stafford have certainly made every minute worth it! Every barre tender and instructor are welcoming and will answer your questions from experience. They help with modifications and freely encourage you to make the class your own. Highly, HIGHLY recommend!!

When I first moved to the area, I was worried I wouldn’t find a community oriented gym that lifts up and encourages others while getting a sweat sesh in. So thankful I found Pure Barre Stafford! The instructors are phenomenal, the workouts are tough (but fun), and the community is unmatched. This is part of my daily routine, and I couldn’t imagine anything different. A perfect match of a group class with individual support and coaching from the instructors.

I must say I love Pure Barre Stafford. I have been attending this studio on a weekly basis between 4-6 times a week for the past 9–10 months and I must say that every instructor is amazing. Kelly, Dominque, Rachel, Hannah, Julie, Chelsea, Kathy, Ashley, and Jessika all deliver a wonderful experience at the Barre. Each instructor puts a demand on you to work at your fullest potential in their own unique way. I am a heavy lifter by nature therefore, my first thoughts of Pure Barre were seriously, there is no way this can be challenging. I was in for a surprise when I took my first class at the Barre, not only did I feel like I was going to die but I also felt like I had not worked out in months when I had just taken a personal training session the day before and tested out for deadlifts at 230 lbs at the time. I could not hold my leg up to work any of the small muscle groups for the extended period of time that I was instructed to, I had to take multiple rest breaks, and you can forget about tucking! My first thoughts of tucking were what is this, why are we doing it, and why is it so hard to do?!!!. At any rate, I am very grateful for Pure Barre Stafford. To all of you out there who think that Pure Barre is a joke…Meet me at the Barre and we will see who gets the last laugh! Thank you Pure Barre Stafford Team for all that you do! I didn’t die, Kimberly W.

Pure Barre Stafford has changed my life!!! The classes and instructors are amazing, and the workouts are the best I’ve ever had. I noticed a change after just a few classes and it just keeps getting better. The team cares ao much about your success. And it’s fun!!!

I love that the gym's location. It's brand new so all of the equipment is clean and works great. I do wish there was a larger variety of machines like a leg press (not a seated leg press), hack squat, seated row/chest pull machines. I'm truly not trying to be picky, but there's a lot of space being taken up by a mat that will be used for group classes and I just think it could be better utilized with more machines. Other than that, I love going to this gym. The employees are nice and it's usually pretty clean compared to other ATF locations I've been to.

Stopped for an inquiry and ended up signing up after 10 minutes. Cecile got to the point and answered all questioned I had. Ended up stopping for info and me and my partner ended up signing up. Very pleased with everything here. Very clean and never too crowded.

I initially had some hesitation about joining a gym of this size, it is very small and only able to handle about 20 people at once. But so far it's been fine and never overcrowded. Unfortunately it has no locker room and just one small shower, also no hot water at the sink, presenting a problem for anyone wanting to shave.

The location is good and everything is in great condition. Since it's very new. They don't have much variety in the weight machines; there are two different chest machines, but no bicep or tricep machine, so you have to use cable exercises for that. There's a big open area covered with indoor outdoor carpet in the center of the gym, so perhaps they will use that for classes. But if they don't use it for classes I would like to see them put some more machines in just for variety.

It's a beautiful brand new gym. Very professional and knowledgeable manager and staff. If you like a more intimate private atmosphere then this gym is for you. 24 hour access and very clean.

I highly recommend Premier Athletics and Courtney—10/10! She is truly outstanding, and I'm so grateful for everything she does. Her guidance and coaching have significantly boosted my confidence, which is priceless. Courtney is a rare find; she consistently encourages me to reach my full potential. Not only have I stronger in the gym, but my overall self-confidence has never been better. For the first time, I genuinely feel good in my own body. Courtney goes the extra mile by personalizing my training and offering customized macros and nutritional advice. I can't express how thankful I am for her support!

Courtney is AMAZING and the facility is perfect. I played D1 soccer in college and have been working out in one capacity or another pretty much my entire life. Courtney is the first trainer to have the whole package (nutrition and lifting) that works! My body has completely transformed and I couldn’t be more thrilled. She provides the tools and the environment, you just have to show up, do you part outside the gym, and work hard! The gym isn’t huge (but there is plenty of room) so every training session feels extremely personalized and Courtney is always making sure you’re doing the moves correctly and gets to know how/when to motivate you to do more. I have never been stronger, more confident or healthier than I am now and I am so grateful to be able to work with her. All I can say is , RUN, don’t walk to train with her.

Courtney is highly knowledgeable in her field. She has competed in a few shows, knows how to track macros, write diets, and train you to have the best physique possible ! She’s takes a 1 on 1 stance with every client and doesn’t just give everyone the same diet or workout. Shes kind, encouraging, and super helpful to anyone who walks through her doors!

I have done gym membership and exercise routines for years, recently though I saw the need for something more, Strength Training! I was very intimated to try on my own and didn't know where to start. I read a recommemdation on facebook on a specialized gym and that's when I meet Courtney at Premier Athletics in Stafford, VA, I can’t say enough good things! Courtney made me realize that something extra I was missing!—Her enthusiasm and expertise create such a positive environment for athletes of ALL levels. The community at Premier Athletics is incredibly welcoming and supportive. Everyone is eager to help each other grow, which makes training here feel like being part of a big family. The programs are well-structured, catering to both beginners and seasoned athletes. If you’re looking for a place to improve your skills while being part of a vibrant community, I highly recommend!!!

If you have been thinking about trying out this gym, this is your sign to stop thinking about it and just do it! Courtney truly has cultivated such a safe, fun and a total judgement free atmosphere! Her work outs are challenging but, her motivating energy keeps you focused during the work outs! Whether you choose 1:1 training or group classes you can't go wrong with joining this beautiful community!
