The equipment and amenities are all top notch--from the benches, weights, and cardio equipment, to the straightener/curling iron and makeup remover wipes in the bathroom. This gym is inclusive in all aspects, not to mention so much fun and a great workout. They offer a variety of classes and always mix up the different workouts to prevent you (and your muscles) from getting bored. The classes are all tailored around YOUR personalized "base code," which allows you to workout in a community, but challenge yourself according to your level of fitness. I am SO happy I met Matt and Kellie and that I found this gym. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun community or a way to mix up their workout routine!

There's not many gyms nowadays that will wait for people who are arriving a little late. They are so accommodating. They offer a variety of classes. It's extremely clean with great music and catchy lights. They don't skimp out and the class last the entire session. Everyone should give Square code a try.

Wonderful gym, wonderful staff…read more I've been working with Ashlee for almost a year. I came in with a history of awful knee injuries, multiple surgeries followed by iffy recoveries, and little to no faith in the muscles in my lower body. In less than 12 months I've gone from constantly worrying about those shaky knees to feeling real confidence in my movements. Doubling my PRs has just been an added perk... Ashlee has been awesome in creating tailored programs for me and what I need. Just as important, she fosters a welcoming and encouraging environment in the group training sessions that make them more enjoyable than they have any business being. If you want help with nutrition, she's got you. If you want suggestions for good obscure metal bands, she's got you there too. When you look at my Yelp history, you'll notice that I've only ever reviewed moving companies. Couldn't be happier that my first non-moving related assessment is ReDefineRVA and Ashlee. Couldn't recommend both more!

The front desk service is good, however, the personal trainers are to busy in the phone texting to answer any questions and seemed annoyed if interrupted for enquires.

I'm a paying member from College Park MD and was here in Richmond on a work assignment. I parked my…read morecar outside and it ended up getting towed during the hour that I was inside working out. Come to find out, members have to have a parking sticker on their car or else they'll be towed. They don't communicate this effectively AT ALL other than a piece of paper at the front desk that has small text stating you may be towed if you don't have a parking sticker (in a long paragraph) and they expect people to come in and immediately read it and ask for a sticker? I'm not from the area and because of them not being more communicative about it, I have to pay $195. The female manager who I spoke to after gave a terrible attitude and said it's not her responsibility that I didn't pay attention to the sheet and that's the best they can do to communicate it. BS! You should know out of state members would have no clue and when we first arrived and said it was our first time there, you should immediately mention the parking sticker! Just terrible management here and communication. The gym also is not very appealing when inside and has a weird layout. Definitely not coming back to this location smh

This gym has it all: Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, strongman, cf equipment, mats, etc. and Chris, the owner, seems like one of those guys who knows way more than you realize, and you realize he knows a lot, so that's impressive. (And he looks like Christian bale, so that's pretty amazing, too). If I lived here, I would train here full time.

This is located within the student center of VCU's MCV campus. As a recent alum (and now member of the Alumni Association) I have access to both this gym and the Cary Street, all for $26/mo and no contract. It's a great deal IMO. As a runner converted to triathlete, I joined this gym for two main reasons: great pool and shower facilities by work. I often run on my lunch break, so I needed somewhere to shower during warmer weather. So far, so good. I do more than just swim and shower now too! Things I really like: *6 lane pool that is 25 meters and DOESN'T GET TAKEN up by kid's teams. YAAAY. VCU has a separate pool for its varsity teams. *Pool temp is cooler than others I've used *2 separate locker rooms- smaller for pool, huge for main gym *Keiser bikes. This is my favorite type of stationary bike for training. *Lockers that come with manual code-entry locks- no need to bring your own lock *Private and spacious showers *Doesn't seem to get overly crowded at peak times like conventional gyms Things I Don't Like: *Gym is fairly warm with bad ventilation (I'm a sweater as it is) *Non-student members use ID to enter and attendant has to manually look up. A little inconvenient. *Flimsy chairs in locker rooms. Would be nice to have bolted benches like normal locker rooms. *I'm also a member at Scott's Addition and find weight machines modern and nicer

The workout area is spacious and modern. The fitness area has a wide variety of cardio machines for students/customers. There's a stretching room with mats, yoga balls, and ab coasters to work on your core. There's a nice size pool and heated spa inside the center. The basketball courts are modern. On Saturdays, I occasionally play pickup basketball here with friends. There are racquetball and squash courts as well. The locker room area was remodeled. You can safely store your items while you workout. The staff is friendly. I give MCV Campus Recreation and Aquatic Center a 4.5 rating.
