Best Gyms with Functional Training Equipment near Chesapeake, Virginia

My son had a fantastic time..the staff was great especially dealing with all those boys.

Love this studio! The instructors are great and the smaller class sizes really give you the chance to learn and grow your Pilates skillset.

Dawn Pilates Studio has quickly become one of my favorite places. I’ve been attending the earliest morning class (on class 28 now), and it’s such a refreshing way to start my mornings - meditating on my breaths, waking up my body and getting a great sweat, always. The instructors pay very close attention to form, which keeps us safe and they are also super easy to talk to, even to discuss any discomfort that we might be having. The studio is kept tidy and clean and even during Covid, I feel safe and relaxed. Love this place and happy to call it one of my ‘homes’ away from home. 🧡

Although Dawn Pilates may be a good place to go for a class once a week I would warn anymore considering pursuing a Pilates Certification thought the studio. The director of education at Dawn Pilates was unreliable, showed up late and/or hung over to most of our sessions. Very little interest in our training was demonstrated, talking phone calls during class, leaving sessions without notice, finishing early abruptly, not correcting material submitted, no feedback on video sent in or essays. It was a very disappointing experience.

Dawn Pilates is the most beautiful and affordable Pilates studio in the area. They really cater to the individual client's needs and are passionate about what they do. Everlea, the director of education is absolutely fabulous! I am currently getting my Pilates certification through her at Dawn Pilates and she is so thorough and very accommodating. I love this studio!!

I had never taken a Pilates class in a studio using the Reformer and the many other tools that Dawn Pilates Studio has to offer. The classes I have been attending are both relaxing and energizing. I actually look forward to working out! I love this studio and Brande is a wonderfully patient & kind instructor!

This PF was always clean, and staff were very polite and ready to assist if you had a question. ALL Equipment was ready with NO defects. All spray bottles were ALWAYS full and paper wipe condensers were full. This place was AWESOME!!! THANK YOU for MY experience. Truly a Very Nice, Clean place to work out!!!!

Location is very clean, they have a lot of equipment and a wide variety so even when it’s busy you can stay moving. Every staff member I’ve encountered so far has been friendly & helpful. I go after work so it’s consistently pretty busy, but the vibe is chill despite there being so many people.

I really appreciate the affordability and quality of the gym. The staff do a great job making sure everything is clean. I do wish there were more weight lifting equipment compared to all the cardio machines. The cardio machines take up almost 75% of the place. I understand that if there were more weight lifting equipment, it can "look" more intimidating, but I find myself waiting for multiple machines a few times a week. I know that it's not on brand for you guys though. The issue is that there are 10 row machines and I have only seen 1 person use them. That's just take up space. That is my main critique of the gym. More weight lifting equipment. Less cardio equipment. Thanks for all you do!

Clean place, friendly staff, wide variety of work out equipment with a decent amount of space between each equipment piece so you don’t feel like you’re on top of each other, and no judgmental looks. The hydro massage is really nice after a work out as well

This gym is awesome. The good features include space, having an abundant assortment of cardio equipment, clean facilities, and on site showers. It is one of the few 24 hour gyms in the area. They also have the arc trainer as a rare cardio treat. The only minor downside to it is in the morning the changing and shower areas can get a little backed up. So make sure you budget for this if you’re going before work. Otherwise I have no complaints only praise for this facility.

This place allows for racism and they didn’t take me seriously on the old staff member who made clearly loud racial remarks, coordinator pretending to write about my concerns on a post it note. YMCA is supposed to be family friendly, but they allow for this behavior that I bring my kids to. Here they go today again, around me. Second photo is my report a few months ago with specific time bc I know they have cameras in the wellness center. But I had to post this today because they didn’t take my report seriously.

This YMCA has the worst customer service EVER! From the managers to the stay and play staff. You can’t possibly expect someone to trust these people with their children. Just horrible all around. I waited over 30 minutes to talk to a manager and still left with my concerns unheard while the front desk staff treated me like I was trash. After years, I think I’ll be cutting ties with the YMCA.

The Greenbrier Family YMCA is one of my favorite places to work out! It's affordable, which is a win because I feel like many gyms charge ridiculous prices these days. But here, you get so much for what you pay! They have tons of classes at a variety of times. My go-to's are kettlebells and Tabata--they're such killer workouts but in the best way. One of the things I love most is that the instructors actually do the workouts with you, which is so motivating. Plus, they're super helpful if you need modifications--they just want you to feel good and do your best. And even though this is one of the smaller YMCAs, the vibe is always friendly and welcoming. Just a heads-up, though--weekend classes can get pretty packed, so I recommend showing up early if you want to grab a good spot! I look forward to my workouts here, and it's such a great community. Whether you're a total fitness newbie or a gym rat, there's something here for everyone.

The outdoor pool area needs work! Grass growing in cement cracks, leaves and gum balls all over concrete and the pool has leaves in it. The splash is dirty. I've been to several outdoor pools at other ymcas and this is the most unkept.

Usually hit or miss. Swim lanes are dicey at best, facility sometimes has cardio equipment and weights available. Now the best not the worst.

I’m a traveling gym rat because of work. I’m in VA heading to WI and needed a spot to get a good lift in. Onelife looked good from the Google pics. I signed up for a free guest pass although I’m used to paying for a day pass since I’m from out of town and have little chance of signing up long term. They let me on for free which was dope. The gym itself was excellent. Clean and full of a variety of equipment. Also a supplement shop in the building as an added bonus. When I find myself out here for work or leisure again I’ll definitely drop in.

I like being a member of OneLife fitness.The best thing about this gym is the location, very convenient near by greenbrier mall next to my house. The gym needs mirrors in a lot of places. I see people cleaning all the time and it is very nice. The only helpful people there are the front desk. I really appreciate Anna Bourget she is always smiling and ready to help with anything. There is another person who helped me once called Alex. He showed me other options with the machines when they have moved machines and I couldn’t find it.

The 5 star is given because Manager at gym Luke does have a heart for his job with his members. And also Alex is a super employee He goes above and beyond to make sure equipment issues are taken care of letting you know updates of the problem Just has a heart in the job. It's these 2 that truly show customer service as needed that make a business survive. And why I would stay at gym. And also the cleanliness of the gym. Because I have seen gyms that truly don't care of how the gym looks but I truly see the effort here. And several at the front desk really care about welcoming you in and taking care of your concerns. I enjoy the gym

I’ve had a membership here for a little over a month. And the facility is top notch! The staff is super friendly. The daycare area takes great care of my infant daughter every time I go to workout and have her with me. Highly recommend for anyone who needs a gym

If you want specific equipment this gym has it all. This is one of the largest gyms I have worked out in and is by far the best gym in Chesapeake! Have not tried the classes, but they offer a wide variety of classes as well. Some of the equipment is slightly older but not falling apart. Even has an outdoor area. Also tons of cardio equipment. Gym has lots of sanitizing wipes and hand sanitizer stations and seems clean. Locker rooms look brand new and seem very clean. I highly recommend this gym. Check out the pictures!

My wife and I came in and did a trial session. We did rowing and hot buns. Wow great work out and we loved it so much we signed up. Sheryl was great and walked us through all of our questions and set us up in the app. We are looking fwd to starting our journey with the Hot Worx team.

I love this gym! I love having the heated workouts which there are so many to choose from. I love that they are on my time since it is a 24/7 gym. I also love that they have some free weights so that I can get my strength training in as well. If you haven't tried it, you definitely should!

Today was my first time trying out Hotworx and I really enjoyed it. I loved that it is intense but quick. Looking forward to adding it to my fitness journey 🤗

I’ve had a great experience since day 1! The staff and guests here are all super nice. I love the variety of classes and times. I already feel a difference just after one week and look forward to more!!

I’ve been coming to hotworx while mixing it in with my weightlifting and I LOVE IT!! It’s clean, everyone is SO friendly, and the benefits have been speaking for themselves. My skin is glowing, I sleep so much better, and nothing feels better than accomplishing a sauna workout!! Plus it’s very reasonably priced. The 24 hours is also very convenient :)

If you're looking for a small family owned gym that benefits your physical, spiritual and mental wellness...look no further. This is where it's at. This is home. Their diversity in classes gives you everything you could ever want.

I probably drove past HopeFit VA over a dozen times before I decided to join. I CANNOT stress enough that this is hands down The BEST gym in the 757! It is a positive and motivating atmosphere where you feel connected, valued, and inspired to achieve your fitness goals. The facility is clean and well equipped with additional amenities such as: physical therapy, personal training, and an array of different classes such as HIIT bungee, hip hop step, and TRX just to name a few! While I haven't tried the classes yet-TRX is definitely on my to do list! HopeFit VA also offers convenient scheduling options which is a definite plus!!! I've been going for over a month now, and I couldn't be more impressed! What makes this gym so unique is their recognition that being goal oriented is good in that it gives direction, but the best mindset when it comes to fitness is that it’s more about a lifestyle of healthy living than it is just reaching certain goals. I've been having issues with my back, and each session has been tailored to ensure I don't exacerbate the issue. Quinton ensures that my technique is always correct, and I leave every session exhilarated, empowered, and stronger. His enthusiasm to keep one motivated to accomplish their wellness objectives is unmatched! I really could go on and on, but I will leave you with this. If you are looking for a place to work on yourself, whether you have desired body goals, or just want to feel more motivated working out-HopeFit VA is for YOU!!!

If you haven't made here yet..like what are you doing! I did a private class with my cousins & friends for my Birthday..what a time weee🤗 had. Much Thanks for Saudi teaching the class.

I love going to Hope Fit VA! The Bungee Fitness classes are such a fun and unique way to work out and Sary always provides modifications if anyone needs them. She and Q are very welcoming and make you feel right at home! I highly you give their gym a try!

I have been to about 4 bungee classes & i took my first Xtreme Hip Hop Step tonight. The classes are so fun. The trainers are so sweet & supportive! I love the environment! Makes me feel comfortable & makes me wanna come back! The passes are super flexible to bc you can use them for any class you want to try!

Today I brought my two toddlers, one of whom has special needs. The staff were very friendly and approachable. My family and I felt accommodated and both kids enjoyed themselves. The children in the stay and play were kind, the space was clean and the staff presented like they were closely knit.

A nice oasis of calm compared to a typical YMCA -- unless to sign up for the very popular Regymen classes.

I initially submitted a consultation form for my daughter on Oct 2nd, with the understanding from the front desk person that a personal trainer/manager would pick up the request that day upon arrival. With no response, I inquired again on Oct 6th mid-morning only to be notified that the original consultation form was picked up that day by the same front desk person, and that I should be contacted later that day. No response. I went back on Oct 9th during the afternoon and spoke with what I felt like was a manager, who told me that she would reach out to the personal trainers and have someone contact me. I received an email from Cody on Oct 10th around 7pm, and responded on Oct 11th around 0900 requesting to speak and reiterate what I was seeking for my daughter. I just received a response today Oct 16th, (5) days after my earlier response providing a little more detail, and still asking if I wanted to discuss more about the consultation. I just responded appropriately, and requesting that we speak today to address my request and dissapointment of services being provided. It has been almost 3 weeks since I first submitted the consultation form on behalf of my daughter. Very unhappy with the services, especially being a long-standing member of the YMCA. My hope is that the YMCA management will take notice of the level of service being provided to their patrons, and work to provide better customer services.

I really like this Y because it has a private feel to it. However, Friday evening hours would be super awesome because Friday night exercise is great after work:)

Super place for personal goes physical and mental, very clean, awesome staff you can't go wrong. No fault to the facility but you have one gym rat that slings sweat on you without waiting for you to finish your set.
