Best Gyms with Free Weights near Virginia-beach, Virginia

This was and is my first planet fitness. This gym is really good. An abundance of cardio equipment. This gym features the ascent and standard ellipticals. The spacing is good if you don’t like people on top of you when you’re working out or waiting for machines. I get ready here before work and never run into any issues. The only minor downside is it is not 24 hours, but the 5am open on Monday and 7-7 weekend schedule is just something to watch if you’re an early riser. The staff is probably the friendliest here relative to the others in the area (but they’re all really friendly overall). I would recommend this gym.

Overall great gym. Has necessary equipment to work on all muscle groups. There’s no such thing as pristine cleanliness in anyone’s facility but they keep things in top shape and keep cleaning products within reach. I vouch for anyone who would like to focus on improving themselves for a reasonable price! This is the place for you

LarderRoom...Having that Black Card pays off when traveling. Visited the Planet Fitness in Shark City, Virginia Beach! Huge club, clean and staffed with great people. Tons of well maintained equipment. Three times larger than the PF back home. Thanks PF!

very nice facility, clean and not crowded when I go there in the early morning. staff are friendly and working hard to keep this location clean (noticed young man was cleaning the machines very diligently this morning which never seen elsewhere). highly recommend to everyone who wants to get healthier!

I’m not from the area (Long Island, NY) but I am vacationing in VB this summer. This planet is by far the best location I’ve ever been to, and we have a lot up in New York. (Or maybe NY is just a dump). The place is huge, a ton of available equipment, clean, and never crowded. PF@VB is awesome!

I’ve been enjoying RockBox for some months now and this place is top notch in my book. I have just over 70 classes completed and my experience here is nothing but positive. Every Coach brings a wealth of experience and work with everybody to keep them motivated, progressing, and just overall positive individuals that keep me coming back. The workouts are well rounded, varied and bring the results! Huge shoutout to Coach Merv for running this business so well and making it the positive and motivating place that is!

Amazing gym!! Amazing people! Coach Murv, Coach Lauren and Coach X are incredible- knowledgeable, professional and welcoming! I have found my place! I’m getting strong and getting crazy good workouts that leave me sweating and feeling accomplished and always healthy since Coach Lauren is also a physical therapist who keeps her eye on my form! I couldn’t have found a better place to get fit and strong!!!

Wow! Love this boxing gym! Tough workout and loved every minute of it. Very friendly atmosphere but pushes you to the max. Coach Merv has super high energy and keeps you accountable. Thank you for the awesome workouts!

Visiting from Summerville, SC RockBox, I had an awesome experience! Coach Marvin was super helpful and answered all my questions before I arrived. My friend and I got there 30 minutes early and were greeted with a warm welcome. It was a core strength day, and while things were done slightly differently from my gym, they repeated the combos several times to ensure we all got it. Coach Frank also took the time to pull us aside and work on our form, speed, and strength. The best part? My friend joined today! I’ll definitely be visiting again, they made me feel like part of the family. Thank you!

Absolutely loving RockBox! It’s the best combination of my two favorite workouts! Kickboxing and functional training! I have been walking out with 550-600cal burn! HR in zone 3, burning fat, building endurance and strength! Watch out 2025!!

We’ve tried 2 other hockey leagues and the instruction my daughter received from vault was so much better. The class size is small which gives each child more attention. The coach was great with the kids and each skill they worked on was right for their development. The only con is the classes are only 45 minutes as opposed to 60-90 from the others we’ve done in the past. I feel between getting their little warm up in, setting up for drills and then ending early to clean up balls, it’s really not much time for a hockey class and getting lots of touches on the ball.

We have been using Vault Athletic and Fitness as an additional coaching spot for my daughter who plays field hockey. This place is very well run and maintained. Over the period of years they have increased the number of offerings and now cater to a lot more than just field hockey. The walls here are filled with pictures of student athletes who have trained here and have moved on to bigger and better venues. I highly recommend the Vault for fitness and sports training needs.

Amy and the us women’s field hockey team members did an awesome job with my son! He had a lot of fun. He also said all the older goalies were very nice to him and the other younger goalie.

This is the best place ever!! So clean and organized.

Vault is a good place for people who are wanting to do a sport it’s a good place to practice so if I like it I think you will to!!!

My first time here and it was a very good experience. It is spacious and maintained well. Nice workout room that has everything you need and large pool. A nice alternative to a crowded gym.

Great staff. Clean facility. Excellent drop in child care hours - AM and PM hrs during the weekdays and Saturday AM hours. Solid kids programs - parents night out and swim lessons.

Very good facility, good aerobics studio, resistance training a huge gym, very clean and well tended. Pool is one of the nicest.

Kids love the play place and are really Enjoying the swim team.

The best gym ever. It’s extremely clean and has the nicest most incredible staff ever! The members are all so friendly here. Everyone treats each other like family 🤗

This is my favorite Anytime location in the area. It’s almost never crowded to a point where you are waiting on equipment. It’s much cleaner than other locations I’ve been to (which I really really really appreciate). All of the equipment is well taken care of. There’s only a few racks and 1 deadlift platform but, again, it’s not usually crowded so I don’t have problems getting one. I would highly recommend this Anytime location.

We ❤️Anytime Fitness. Equipment is always clean & they have a wide variety of machines and weights. The staff is always friendly, encouraging, and helpful. They have seen me at my worst & encouraged me to push through to my goals. Plus, in off times, I always feel safe! The security there is a big plus for me.

Best gym in town. The owner Loren is a wonderful person and owner of this establishment and personal trainer. The equipment is always clean along with the rest of the space and bathrooms. Everyone is very friendly and the location is very convenient. I’ve been going to this gym for years and will continue to do so.

I absolutely love anytime haygood! I have been a member here for probably over 10 years. Everyone there is so nice, make you feel comfortable, and everyone there will become your gym family. The employees and the owner are so helpful if you have any questions and are just all around amazing. I recommend this gym to anyone!!

Oh my goodness! You must try out this Anytime Fitness location! Clean, equipment new and all in working condition, friendly staff, family owned, personal trainers available….Anytime Fitness, Haygood has it all. For those of us who appreciate the 24-hour accessibility, this location is found in the Haygood Shopping Center. Safe area, safe location. No need to be concerned walking from the car to the door, ever. Truly, check out Anytime Fitness, Haygood. Tell Loren the Prices sent you! #longtimemembers

It's nice to find a gym that has a nice combination of coaching and motivation. I did 3 workouts here while I was in town. Katie ran a hero workout on Saturday. It was a big class but she gave everyone attention. Another coach came outside to cheer on the end of my run. Kat ran my second workout and kept the entire class motivated. She also recommended some great restaurants. Heather ran my third workout and fixed my HSPUs and gave me some pointers on my double unders. This is a great place to train and I highly recommend stopping by if you're in town.

Chic’s beach is truly a one of a kind gym that gives you strength in more than just your physical fitness. The members and coaches here are inviting, inspiring, and a family. They care about your progress as a whole and help you reach all of your goals with a team of support behind you. Their classes are fun, inclusive, and tough! The hour long class is the perfect workout whether you are a fit/cardio style or CrossFit style, they have it all. Each class is scaled for your level so everyone feels welcomed and their app and progression of skills allows you to track and retest your progress! I am a mom of two and I’m in the best shape of my life!

Chic’s Beach CrossFit offers more than just a place to workout. It offers a supportive community of knowledgeable coaches where all are truly welcome. I also enjoy the mix of FIT and CrossFit classes. I would recommend this gym to both seasoned athletes and beginners. There is definitely something for everyone and the workouts can be easily tailored to your fitness level. It has been a great environment for my teenage son to learn proper technique and develop in to a stronger student athlete. CBCF is great for high school athletes to condition for their sport or to just gain more confidence. Very family friendly!

Great environment for CrossFit and FIT/HIIT workouts. Great coaching staff and members

If you are looking for a CF gym that provides you with training, instruction, motivation but most importantly, a friendly and family vibe, this is the gym for you. I have been a member for 8 years and have been able to learn new skills and better my training. From their FIT class to CF class, there are lots of options of class times. Either provide you with different skills- from high intensity and elevating your endurance, to strength training and gymnastics. You really will become family and make great life long friends who also help you to stay motivated.

I went to the ER because I has the worst pain of my life from my right hip down, left the ER with prescriptions and they did nothing. Still in so much pain i went back the next day they did an x-ray and saw bone on bone in my back from arthritis and that I would have to have surgery to get out of pain. They gave me a pain shot that did nothing as well. Obviously the ER was not going to help with anything to relieve my pain. I could not walk sit or lay down without pain. A couple people mentioned that Morgan Chiropractic might be able to help so I called and made an appointment. I was treated like I was family. They go above and beyond. I've been to a couple good chiropractors in the area but Dr. Morgan knows exactly what needs to be done not only with the back (Chiropractic side) but with the whole body ( gym side) combining them to create a healthy body. I knew it would take time to help me but after going everyday for a week I felt somewhat normal and it looks like i wont have to have surgery! It takes time for the body to heal so I know I have to stick to the chiropractic care and I will definitely be coming here on a regular schedule. They are the best! I encourage you to come get adjusted and see how good you can feel!!

Dr. Morgan has a truly great environment for both receiving chiropractic care as well as overall wellness/fitness in the gym. The chiropractic area is wide open, giving everybody a safe and secure area to be treated, so you don't feel sequestered in a private room like in other doctor offices. His knowledge and expertise is truly impeccable! Dr. Morgan is well-known in the area and is a highly respected chiropractor and fitness trainer. I even witnessed another chiropractor in the area being treated by Dr. Morgan, as you know he's a GREAT doctor when other chiropractors are coming to get treated by Dr. Morgan!!!

After being referred to Dr Morgan, I found him to be not only extremely knowledgeable, but also very thorough. I love the easy going atmosphere & they can always fit me in when I need adjusting. I feel very fortunate to be under his care & would highly recommend him to anyone needing chiropractic services.

TJ Morgan is the BEST chiropractor! He is extremely knowledgeable, gentle, yet effective. He is amazing at easing my back and neck pain. I no longer live in VB but schedule an appointment with him each time I return.

In January 2022 I went to Dr. Morgan with my MRI report for an assesment of the pain in my lower back. "Doc" went to work right away to put me on the path to wellness. I started my treatments in January and quickly started to have less pain and more flexibility. I started using some of the dietery and nutritional suggestions that he made and started working out in the attached Gym and lost 25 pounds very quickly. Now I go for adjustments and workouts every couple of days to keep myself in good condition. Doctor Morgan is very caring and focused on his patients health and wellness. I'm very pleased that "Doc" has helped me to start my path to better health. I have so far avoided the back surgery that I was considering before my visit to Morgan Wellness Center. If you need help getting in better shape or relieving pain then go and see "Doc"

If you live nearby, I highly recommend getting the membership and USING IT. There are many perks for coming here. I came in for the day pass because I live in Las vegas. $10 for non residents or $8 for locals. This place is one of the nicest rec centers I've ever visited. An olympic size pool with lockers (quarters needed), hooks for towels and bags, and locker rooms for changing. There is a gym full of nice equipment. Basketball courts (indoors). A snack room with vending machines. And very nice staff to give information whenever you need help.

This is a very nice recreation center. There is a huge game room with table games like two and four player Air Hockey tables, billiards tables, skeet ball, classics like Pac & Ms. Pac-Man and much more. Ther is also a basketball game similar to those that one might find at a carnival where you try to get the high score for most baskets made. There is not, however a basketball ball court. There are also rooms that can be used for group meetings and the like.

This rec could get some updating. It looks the same as it did back in the 90s. The kids play area is pretty retro too and that's cool but there's not much for younger/little ones to do. No where for them to run/walk if they're not big enough to climb the playset so it can be boring for them. The staff is always friendly though. Also, sorry to say, but it always smells like the bathrooms here but I guess everybody just ignores or is noseblind to that. Generally everything looks clean though and the workers do what they're supposed to. Membership is nice to have depending on your needs/preferences. I have started going to another rec center in the area.

I went in the other day to get a membership for my family. I explained to them that my wife is a traveling medical worker that will be working at a local hospital for three months and we are staying at a local RV park. After the front desk personnel briefly spoke to the manager (which never came out of the office) I was told that we did not qualify for in state membership rates because we did not pay taxes here. Well, here is my problem with that. We pay over $150 a month in VA state tax at our RV park and my wife also pays VA state payroll tax out of every paycheck. We also have to file a VA state income tax return because of this. Not to mention sales tax because we are living and working in the area and spending money daily at local establishements. I understand that the out of state membership rules have to be in place for individuals that are for example seasonal retirees/tourist visiting from out of state, but as a working family we do in fact pay tax and contribute to the state of VA tax base. With all of that being said, maybe this facility and manager in particular need to assess each individuals circumstances before quickly denying them. In the end, all we wanted to do was immerse ourselves in the local activities and continue our path to health and wellness as a family.

a nice, well maintained activity center. They have several options for activities, along with flexibility for group events.

I’m Truck driver, I use parking between Home Depot and Walmart, I wanna say manager planet fitness she is nice person , and professional in her work! Nice clean place !

I really love this location! A friend told me I needed to check it out and so glad I did. The facility is always so clean and never feels crowded. The staff is very welcoming and friendly- special shout out for Xena (Zena?), who was an absolute day saver. I managed to lose my keys and she patiently went from machine to machine to look carefully around and under them and then in a total show of helpfulness, peeked into a garbage can and unbelievably- found them in it. I'm guessing I accidentally dropped them when I was tossing paper towels. That level of customer service is incredible, and I really appreciate it!

Love the place it’s the only planet fitness near me and I have been going since it opened. My single issue that makes it a 4 star is the fact that the hours do not accommodate for certain schedules as well as other planet fitnesses. I work a late shift and I believe that more 24 hour days at this planet fitness would be appreciated. Other than that I can’t wait for the new machines that planet fitness is releasing like the hack squat and incline Hammer press comes to this location.

I travel for a living. I base my life around these gyms. I've been in them all over the country. From Nashville to Montana, Tempe to Tacoma. VA beach planet fitness is the cleanest and best staffed. Once I lost my phone and could remember my way home so I stopped by PF and they gave me directions. I don't recall her name but she has red hair and many tattoos. Also it's never stupid crowded and if it is people are super Kool. I dig it and I get results.

I recently joined the new Planet Fitness (Redmill) and thus far it has been a great experience. This is a new location that is both clean and uncrowded. The staff have been nice and helpful. My son and I took an upper body class with Carter, who did a great job showing us proper form and technique. ✅ Affordable ✅ Clean ✅ Uncrowded

Staff is helpful friendly knowledgeable. This location is a terrific community of people of all ages and backgrounds who encourage each other. The Manager is always there during business hours and makes sure the facility sparkles. The Fitness Trainer is excellent and knows her stuff. Fun Clean and Professional ❤️.

Very clean and large space to workout, great selection of equipment. First time going here I travel for work and I was impressed on cleanliness in this gym the restroom were just as clean the equipment seems older but in great shape and tons to choose from for an anytime fitness 💪. Would recommend for sure!

I have been a member for years. The gym is always clean, I never have to wait for a machine and it’s open 24 hours. The staff is great and is very attentive. They are always taking suggestions for improvement.

Though the people at Anytime are at various levels of conditioning the one trait they all share is a serious attitude toward working out. No showboats, or gabbers. The sound of the machines and iron dominates. Well kept, and with a definite upscale feel and knowledgeable crew good place to get serious

Cleanest gym I’ve been too. Everything you need. The ownership is awesome! Kevin is awesome and extremely friendly, have known him for years. Thanks!

Great facilities with basketball court and gym. Just enough for exercising.

Beautiful gymnasium! The front desk workers are polite and helpful! The workout equipment is great and this is an overall 5***** gym especially for military, it’s free!

The mens sauna stays at 240 degrees, no matter if you try to adjust the knob outside. Dangerous for an extended stay over 10 minutes. Be careful. Other than that, ots your typical base gym with plenty of space every time I have been.

Always clean, all the equipment you could need, and the staff are super friendly!

Because my daughter has soccer practice on base on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, I started going to the fitness center. I'm there from 1830 until 2000 (closing), There have only been about a dozen patrons there so getting on any of the equipment is never a problem. Staff is friendly and the facility is clean.

The Simon Family Jewish Community Center is a wonderful place to learn and develop yourself. Great staff!

I play kickball here. The space there is large enough for 4 infield size baseball fields. There is a play area open to the kids for use. For members there is a pool and a mini puttputt. Pretty cool place.

Though not a member, they're pool and water playground is great for bringing our young kids and at a very reasonable price! $8 a kid and lots of shade for everyone where it counts.

The JCC was recommended by my PT. Im in a wheelchair and its great. I've only used the lap pool so far. As I go thru surgeries I will use more of the facility. It's clean, quiet and stress free.

JCC is for everyone! Clean & Friendly with country club amenities. FREE towels, ALL classes, Indoor & Outdoor pools with mini water park, steam rooms with spa themed locker rooms, free babysitting. Great Personal trainers with most having 10 plus years experience with a wide variety of degrees. For just a little over $1 per day, you can't beat this value. "No Commitment" month to month memberships. FREE WEEK passes to any local. You will not find a better value than the JCC and they want you to use their facility. Open everyday except for 3 days out of the year. Get a PT and set your GOALS for FREE. All abilities work out here. From the kids getting ready for sports, college and professional athletes to our seniors. We have the Silver Sneaker membership with great classes that go along. You can reach out to our Wellness & Membership Director on his personal cell phone. You can't find that kind of personal service anywhere. JCC has state of the art equipment that they update and add new pieces annually. No extra up charge. This is a place worth seeing.
