Yes, it does require a commitment to constantly going to the gym and putting in the hard work. But the reward is a stronger, more agile body that is much healthier than before. CrossFit Rife has not only been instrumental in helping me achieve my fitness goals but has also fostered a sense of community and support that has contributed as much, if not more to my success. Here's to many more years of continued growth and vitality at my box!

I had been living in Va Beach for almost five years and couldn't really find a place I belonged. Walking through the doors, I knew that would change. The trainers are far superior to any in your local gym. I had a membership at Golds/One Life, a yoga studio, a small women's gym, and the Rec Centers over the years and the programing, training, and overall atmosphere of the Compound is immeasurably better. I will be a member of this facility for as long as they'll have me. I am so appreciative that Compound CrossFit became my second home - my Virginia family!

I happen to be partial to Alex (my amazing trainer) but everyone of the trainers and staff are extremely warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in. I was impressed to learn there are no "beginner" trainers here. They each have a background in fitness and are experienced and educated in their field. They take clients at all ages and levels of fitness, but if you're just starting out, like me, this is the place to come. There is absolutely no judgement or reason to be self conscious. They take you "as is" and are eager to craft a personalized workout, according to your goals, history, abilities and any health concerns your dealing with. They take the time to understand your unique needs and abilities. I love how Alex is able to explain the mechanics of a movement and that he's very focused on correct form, in order to get the most out of an exercise and avoid injury. He makes my workouts challenging, but also reigns me in when I get too eager to take on more than I'm ready for. Another plus that impressed me is the effort they make to take care of clients practical needs- showers, towels, soaps, shampoo, etc. They've even offered a stretch lab and a sound bath experience since I've been here, free to clients, both of which I really enjoyed. This is certainly not your run of the mill, box gym. The pricing is extremely reasonable for the quality of personalized attention, the well appointed equipment, clean space and the amenities you receive. I have had an amazing experience at Ghent Fit and would highly recommend it! - Stephie

He is thoughtful with my training program, adjusting as needed to suit my needs and goals while keeping it challenging.

In February 2023, at age 46, I started training at Preston Strength, and I have never looked back. I was massively overweight, exhausted, and weak.  In just 5 months, I lost 35lbs of body fat and gained muscle and functional strength that will help me stay strong and independent for a massively different and improved quality of life, now and as I age. This was achieved without fad diets, without weight loss medications, and without mind-numbing cardio. And, despite living with Hypothyroidism/Hashimotos and Degenerative Disk Disease. I once thought I couldn't afford a personal trainer, but in reality, I couldn't afford not to. It was the best investment for myself and my family, and it is cheaper than the ever increasing medical bills I had coming in. Now, I rarely need to visit my medical professionals!   If you need a personal trainer I wholeheartedly recommend you reach out to Steve at Preston Strength to find out how he can help you, too.

Wow! I love ANABO! After seeing the amazing results of Billy's program for a friend, I was…read moreconvinced that this was the gym for me. After talking to Billy, I couldn't wait to get started, and I'm so glad I did! The program is designed to start you at YOUR level and then continues to challenge you. I'm always so surprised when I accomplish the next harder exercise!! I've never been particularly athletic, so being able to progress through both the agility and strength sections is amazing to me. I've never felt self-conscious at Anabo - everyone, no matter their ability level, is working just as hard as you are. Billy is encouraging and motivating, and his positive attitude is absolutely contaigous :) I have been so thrilled with Anabo that I gifted my husband with a membership. It's turned out to be the biggest gift to myself as the hubby really loves going, PLUS he has found that he has made amazing positive changes to his health. He's a Type II diabetic with the accompanying borderline blood pressure and cholesterol issues. Since starting at Anabo after Christmas, he has made some fantastic strides to his numbers all around with a combination of Anabo and nutrition! If you are serious about making your life better, go Anabo!

Last year at this time, I was in the worst shape of my life. At the urging of a friend, I finally…read moremade the commitment to walk through Anabo's door and that was the greastest decision I have ever made in regard to my health. The circuits are designed to let you grow at your own pace, but still challenge you at the same time so whether you are barely pushing your limit or going to the extreme Billy's guidance, coaching, and motivation will make you WANT to strive for whatever YOUR next level is. There is no easy path to fitness, but Anabo will help you navigate your own route toward your goals at your pace (with a little tough love mixed in.) I have better abs at 37 than I did at 25 (when I thought I was in the best shape of my life). This program truly works if you're willing to do the work. Over the least year with the combination of the workouts and Anabo's Nutrition program, I have dropped 2 dress sizes and 27lbs and I have done so on my lunch hour. This program is designed to make the most of your time - it does not have to take you 2 hours to get into the best shape of your life.. I get my tush kicked in a solid 36 minutes! If you think you can't make the time, I bet that you can and Anabo is the place to do it!
