Keone also is a partner at the Fredericksburg location, Mechanicsville; he and Tom recently opened a brand new location in Louisa, VA. The owners, Keone Pierce and Tom didn't care about the Stafford facility. For weeks we had a broken toilet, the carpets never were cleaned, new inexperienced trainers were added to fill scheduling gaps, and many classes were cancelled last minute with no reason or for some other event that he'd rent this nasty place to. Why did I still go, you ask? The members and the experienced trainers who cared showed up with great energy and we motivated one another. But tonight, we all received an email stating that our facility is closed immediately. No notice, no reason, no mention of a refund, nothing. Someone even drove by the place and saw carpets being pulled up from the facility - an hour after the last workout was done that day. Trainers weren't even notified until five min prior of sending that email to members. Keone Pierce and his co-partner Tom definitely had their plan and waited for the last minute to pull this stunt. The Fredericksburg and Mechanicsville locations have much better facilities with other partners who may actually care and run an effective business (so they say - never seen myself). But with my experience at Stafford, I post this review to caution you when you sign up. If Keone Pierce's name is involved, he only cares about getting your money and not you as a person. He is unprofessional. This is coming from someone who supported him and his business fully, and worked out alongside members who also supported him for years - and we're dropped just like that yesterday evening via email. I'm grateful for one thing. It put me in contact with some awesome people and we'll be moving our fitness journey forward elsewhere.

RARE Crossfit is the BEST! The coaching staff, the workouts, the community, the support! If you are…read moreconsidering a great community/ gym, I highly recommend you give them a call. Maybe you've been "trying" things on your own, downloading apps, paying for subscriptions and gym memberships you don't use, watching videos, food documentaries and reading stuff online "trying" to convince yourself that you're learning and making forward progress. Yet, you find yourself in the same place, year after year. I know because I did the same thing and my way wasn't working. I knew I needed accountability, instruction, support sprinkled with some friendly competition. The owners Adam, Lee and their coaches are absolutely amazing and provided all the support I needed for me to get out of my own way and start seeing the results. It doesn't matter how long it's been or what you're shape you're in, what matters is that you decide, and that you show up. I was able to lose 4% body fat, and gained 5 lbs of muscle with the 6 week challenge and continued on. Whenever I got busy or slipped back into my old ways, miss a week or whatever, someone from RARE always called me or texted with encouragement and got my butt back in. I could make any and every excuse not to go (work, kids, stuff, life, busy), RARE always reminded me my why and that I'm worth it. We make time for the things that are most important to us. There are a lot of good gyms out there. RARE Crossfit just does it better. With RARE, there is no more guesswork, they leave no room for you to fail. You will have to put in the work though. Having said all that, RARE CrossFit "IS" the premier workout COMMUNITY. We are all friends that support and root for each other's personal best. Thank you RARE Crossfit for being amazing!

Adam and Lee are excellent gym owners and human beings. I rented office space for my business (Prestige Chiropractic) for one year, and I can tell you that these people are COMMITTED to helping everyone become as fit as possible. I have personally seen Adam, Lee, and Dee putting in countless hours at their facility to help out every individual they possibly can. Whether it be their CrossFit members or their boot camp members, they bring their A-game to their clients to help them achieve fitness and lifestyle goals. They are extremely passionate and give so much to bring value to RARE CrossFit. 5 stars.

***I would actually give it 3.5 stars***…read more Background: I work out about 6x/week and I'm a runner. I completed the 7 day free trial period with my friend and that's the basis for this review. Pros: -Great for people who enjoy working out in groups -Efficient 45 min workout -You sign up for classes via their dedicated app, then it can be added to the calendar in your phone -The raised padded floor is great for those of us with knee problems, it makes for a soft landing - they have child care -you can complete workouts from home video chat -they have women's only classes -unisex bathrooms with baby changing tables -they offer one-on-one support with nutrition (not sure how often) Cons: -Not so great for people who need more instruction because the class moves quickly -About 5-7 mins of the 45 mins is dedicated to warm-up and instructions, which makes for a short workout for some - The app doesn't tell you what the focus of the workout is going to be, so if you work out on your own you risk working on the same muscle group you already focused on by yourself -only class based workouts, no cardio machines, no time to stretch or do anything on your own -not open on Sundays -No locker room/showers Overall: This would make for a great secondary gym for someone who can't focus/doesn't have the motivation to complete HIIT workouts on their own (seeing as how there are plenty of free options online). It's a no frills, no thrills type of gym, get in, do your workout, and leave. They don't even have towels you can use. It's all about community here, so if that's what you're looking for, then this would be good for you. You must wear a face mask everywhere except while on the padded floor.

I like the fact that Burn is bodyweight exercise, i.e. calisthenics for the most part, with an occasional dumbell, rope or other non-machine device. It's a 45-minute workout with lots of variety and an encouraging coach. "Group exercise" is generally not my thing... I've always been a loner in the gym--weights, running, etc., but this IS a good program to mix things up a bit. All the days I went, there was only ever one guy in there working out with the girls. And the girls are very supportive. Nice, but probably a little TOO girly for my speed, but great for other women who need a strong support system when trying to get fit. The main downside is that it is SO expensive at, I think, $99/month... maybe even more than that? The only way I'd consider actually joining is if I got a great deal. I think they had a Black Friday deal that I missed out on.

I didn't really care for the male trainer. He tends to pick on certain women about their training clothing. I mean come on, the woman is there to get fit, not to be ridiculed. He's also not very pleasant outside of the class when I went to ask him about prices for a full membership. He made no eye contact with me and kinda brushed me off. Maybe he didn't like me? But the female trainer is fantastic and so sweet! I thanked her on the last day of the month trial that I subscribed to! For those interested, Groupon will have good deals on having a month of these classes. It was a great way to get back into the swing of things after having my second child. I've continued some of the things I've learned at the camp in my current gym routine. I wish prices were a bit lower, though. I can't exactly afford over $100/month. Thanks for getting me on track though!
