This is my 2nd OT studio. I joined at the Red Mill location but this location is WAY more…read moreconvenient for me. I was a bit intimidated at 1st because of the location I thought the people would not be as friendly. And I was wrong! The staff has always been so friendly and also the coaches. Same vibe as the Red Mill location. It's clean, plenty of parking, wide variety of classes available and very friendly staff. I am enjoying this location - well....honestly I will again after I come out of my winter hibernation. I have no excuse - it's across the street from my work. See you soon.

I have been going to Orangetheory (this location) for almost 2 years now. If I wrote this review…read morelast year at this exact time, it would be totally different. Last year (2023), somewhere between May and July, they had a change in studio management, and it was honestly the best thing they could have done. The SA (front desk staff) are always welcoming, friendly, and personable. I don't know how they remember everyone's name and the conversation they have. If they know you have a BIG day coming up or a celebration, they always try to celebrate with you. They also do a very great job of keeping the studio clean. When you're in class you will see them cleaning the lobby, bathroom etc. I have never felt icky using the bathroom or taking a shower at this studio. If you ever have a question or issue, Jo, the studio manager, as well as the SA's, are pretty responsive. The workout at orangetheory is what I would consider a 60 min HIIT style circuit. They have three main class formats 3G, 2G class & tornado. In a 3G class, you will be on the row machine, treadmill, and floor (strength) for about 14/15 minutes. There is a 5 minute warm-up and cool down as well. In a 2G class, one station is either paired with another like a row/run, or one machine can be completely removed, usually the rower. The other template you might see is the tornado. It pops up every once in a while. I personally hate tornadoes. It's too much switching for me, so I normally dont sign up for them. I do however recommend everyone to take one tornado class and come up with your own opinion. One of the things I love about the Orangetheory brand is that the workout template is the same at all their studios. It doesn't matter if you're at a class in MD or right here at Hilltop, same workout, other than 2G version, or 3G version. There is a coach present in each class that will go over the workout instructions and, if needed, will correct your form. I definitely have my favorites, but all the coaches at Hilltop do a pretty good job of trying to be attentive and helping us if needed. If there is an exercise you are not able to do, they are always willing to give you a modification that works for you. Each coach creates their own music playlist, and for the most part, they all have good music taste, lol. Orangetheory is a membership gym without a yearly contract. You can cancel at any time with a 30-day notice. They offer 3 different monthly options as well as class packs. Every once in a while, they will offer membership discounts/sales. Your first class is free as long as you live in Virginia Beach. They also have a sister studio in the Redmill area with the same ownership & management team. If you do get a membership or class pack, they encourage you to purchase a Heart rate monitor. The Heart rate monitor isn't mandatory, but I do enjoy seeing my stats on the board. Overall, I would highly recommend giving Orangetheroy a try. It will definitely be a great workout that you might end up getting addicted to.

I have a friend who works here that recommended a 21 day trial special that is currently going on…read moreuntil July 9! I'm not done with my trial yet, but even after one week, I've already seen a lot of progress in my body. On day one, I was a little lost. Came in a little intimidated BUT Tara was so welcoming and helpful. Obviously you have to ease slowly into working out again if your body isn't used to it, but every coach gives you different moderations of the circuit workouts so that you don't hurt yourself. They listen to your needs and prior injuries and health concerns to make sure you're not straining yourself, but still working hard to get that workout done! What's most important to them is that you're moving. You don't have to go too hard if you can't, they're just proud that you even took the step of showing up! There's a different kind of workout each day of the week that concentrates on different sections of the body or the workout technique of the day from cardio to leg day to arm day to athletic training, etc. It is a little pricey for a membership, but if you can squeeze it into your budget, I definitely think it's worth it. You can tell in your every day movements that burn has been helping. I'm breathing better during any other physical activities (like going up the stairs lol you can't tell me that you don't try to hide your breath going up some stairs sometimes. I'm usually winded, but the other day, I CHOSE to go up the stairs instead of the elevator. Who am I??), I'm getting up without grunting, I'm choosing better for my bodily health. It's so nice! And honestly what I needed for this summer. Hope you guys get the chance to check it out!

Love Love Love Love BurnBoot Camp! This location has only been open a little over a month due to…read morethe COVID and I can only say great things. Finally, I've found a gym where I belong. Each workout runs about 45 mins so you are in and out! Such a great stress reliever! Our head trainer Lauren is amazing and has positive energy!Burn has a great vibe and everyone is so friendly. It's a little on the pricey side but it's so worth it ! It's located in a good area and easy to get to. The gym is clean and organized, following CDC guideline!

Ken and the other 2 trainers are excellent. I felt like I got ran over by a mac truck the first day, but I still came back lol. Idk why anyone would talk down about Ken, he is really great. He answers any questions you have and pushes you out of your comfort zone. Oh and by the way, we can drink water without being punished so I had to side-eye some of these reviews. After my groupon runs out I will be renewing at full price. The classes are fun, the ladies are nice and VERY supportive of one another. I was in terrible shape and finished last in all the running, but they didn't make me feel bad about it. I love BODY BY KEN.

I attended this facility in support of a colleague from ODU...Amy!!!…read more She is the dance/fitness instructor here, well perhaps one of many, but she is awesome! She invited me to drop in for a class to learn the latest and most popular line dances! She knows I love to dance, hence that's how we met... at ODU :) say less girl, I am there!! I visited the site a few weeks ago (on a Saturday) and from the looks of the parking lot, I thought it would be crowded inside. Boy was I wrong, the place is awesome inside! It was not crowded at all. The women's locker room was tidy and smelled fresh. Once I arrived upstairs to the dance room, I did notice workout (machines) equipment as well as free weights. Something for everyone is here! The dance class lasted for about 75 minutes, and it was a total workout! Beginner friendly and Amy makes everyone feel super comfortable and is willing to repeat steps over and over and over :) I didn't think I would work up a sweat doing line dancing, but it was a sweaty ordeal indeed - I loved it! I highly recommend you check out this location. I traveled from Suffolk, therefore it's definitely a hike, but on this day I was planning to be in the area, so it made sense to drop in. You cannot beat this waterfront property. Not a member, like me, just pay a drop in fee and get your body moving :) Have fun and enjoy life :)

I really love this gym. It's friendly the classes are great. I go whenever I'm out at the beach.read more

BEST GYM IN THE 757! If you are on the fence about getting a membership here or somewhere else…read more. I'll tell you why Natural Bodyz is hands down the best in the area. 1. It's 24/7 and 2 great locations with full top of the line equipment. 2. The NB Fam - once you get a membership here, you just joined the most supportive community of gym goers I have ever seen. I've had gym memberships while living in multiple different states, even different countries and by far my NB gym fam is the best out there. Everyone wants you to succeed and reach your fitness goals. If you have a question about anything the trainers are all extremely knowledgeable and always willing to help out. Even that "scary muscle head" in the corner is the warmest, most encouraging person. No judgement zone, everyone has to start somewhere. 3. Never overcrowded, where you can't get on a machine or squat rack. Yes, like any gym it has its "hot times" where it gets a bit busy but it's never overcrowded or where you absolutely cannot get on a machine/squat rack. Each location has enough space and equipment to make your workouts seamless. 4. Awesome ownership. The owners of NB are very family oriented, supportive and care about their gym family. The support really shows because you aren't just joining a gym, but a gym family and thanks to the owners always being present because they really set the tone. 5. I have to shoutout my dude Chad. Chad is an owner and my personal trainer. That dude has helped me grow physically and mentally with his mentorship of the fitness world. Literally within the first month of training and reaching fitness goals that I never imagined hitting, I felt like a new person. Confidence increases, energy rises and the gym became a place I'd find myself hanging out chatting with the trainers and other members even after a workout. Fitness doesn't have to be a chore.. and at Natural Bodyz, you'll see it's a gym family that you will easily fit right in with. Just send it, it'll be the best decision you ever make. - Gio B @iamgiob I don't work for NB... just joined the fam without any knowledge of the fitness world and was welcomed with open arms.

Great location, private family gym, and competitive prices. We highly recommend Natural Bodyz.read more

H O P E / F I T / V A…read more I wanted to give it some time before formally reviewing Hope Fit VA. I started coming to Hope Fit when they first opened. I specifically came to break the monotony of my workouts at Onelife. I thought, what a perfect way to break the monotony than by doing something "fun" that is also a workout. Tada, enter "Bungee Fitness"! H O P E / F I T / V A I am typically an introvert with extroverted moments, so group fitness has never been my thing. However I must say this husband and wife duo (Quinton & Sary) know how to make you feel welcome and included. Atmosphere - This place is clean! Crap isn't all over the place, there isn't a ton of people, or intimidating "meat heads" (sorry). Multiple bathrooms with showers. The bungee fitness is separate from the personal training side. Sary leads Bungee Fitness and Q does personal training on the other side. The choice of music while working out is perfect for me! H O P E / F I T / V A Service - "With a smile"! Sary engages everyone in her class. She truly wants to make sure you are getting what "you" intend to get from the class/workout. She is truly accommodating to everyone's needs. She passes out water when she sees you don't have any. It's not uncommon to see Q pop in to get some footage of the class. Sary isn't too serious, she's fun, bubbly and often laughing with the rest of the class, because let's face it... it's fun to bounce around. H O P E / F I T / V A Workout - The beginners class is truly achievable for all shapes, sizes, ages. They are even staring to include children 13 and up. Each person gets to choose how much effort and energy they're putting into their individual workouts. You will do jumping jacks, squats, burpees, knee flys, planks and jogging. If you're like me, you're a sucker for technique, and going "full out" as much as possible. It is totally up to you. Sary has recently took it up a notch by adding the use of weights and resistance bands. This addition to the class with double burpees, lunges, and sharpening everyone's techniques is so up my alley. I love to feel the burn, love to sweat, this is my type of workout. H O P E / F I T / V A Understand that if and when you start bungee fitness, you have to start somewhere. If you are a hardcore gym junkie adjust your expectations for the level 1 class, just enjoy and have fun. If you're anything like me, stick around and you will get to the more intense stuff. I like this type of workout "fun", and want to keep it incorporated into my weekly workouts. Pricing - They are currently updating plans to accommodate number of classes per week/ month. Initially I got 10 classes for the month for $100, and couldn't get them all in. That's too many for me in one month. Oh did I mention they give out discount cards for Krave, which is located next door? What are you waiting for? H O P E / F I T / V A
