I was so surprise that he didn't have a yelp site yet (dudes been doing this for the last 20 years), but when I was looking for a boxing gym, 3 dudes from the area all named Coach Luyando. I can see why. He's been functioning by word of mouth and its hella evident that he's good at what he does. It's a boxing gym so don't expect the amenities of sauna and stuff, just expect to be worked out and I mean really really really really worked out. You work out side by side licensed boxers and those hungry for the license, so expect to be pushed. Yes, it is predominantly male gym so it can be intimidating (at least for me it was) when you first walk in, but you quickly recognize that people are there to train and coach and the senior members of the gym will make sure you ain't looking like a fool or feeling alienated. It's a great gym. And feel lucky to have found it.

The coaches provide excellent guidance on form, and the group atmosphere is engaging and motivating. Two and a half years later, I'm turning 50 and I'm in the best shape I've been in for over two decades. I have less pain and more energy. Years ago I was in a bad motorcycle accident and have a titanium rod in my leg which limited my mobility. The coaches have helped me work thru those challenges to be successful. If you want measurable results and a supportive environment to meet your goals, this is the place. Highly recommend!

The owner was very nice and allowed me to use the space - even though there was a class going on. I know that's usually frowned upon, but I really appreciated that he allowed me to do my thing in a designated area. Otherwise - as an outsider, I really liked that the classes worked out together to do the WOD. There wasn't any side business going on (some gyms will have really competitive folks working out in the background while a class is going on and sometimes it can be intimidating and awkward). Again, I really appreciate the owner and his hospitality! I will be back. I encourage visitors to stop in - really nice quality space!!!!

My daughter begin dancing at Art In Motion in 2001. She loved it from the first moment she started…read more The highlight for her each year was performing on stage at the Virginia theater in annual recital. What great memories she has of the studio and it's teachers. The staff is very welcoming to newcomers, and regardless of your child's skill set, whether you are a beginner, and intermediate, or very experienced, there is a class for you. Art In Motion has the highest quality teaching of any dance studio I have ever experienced. The facilities are very spacious, and yet there is a family like atmosphere amongst all the staff and teachers. Personally speaking of our own experience, each teacher on staff offers the highest caliber of training, in addition to the upmost attention given to integrity and character development in each child/student they encounter. Definitely a FIRST CLASS facility in every aspect that is important! I rarely review anything on YELP, but Art in Motion dance studio deserves a great review! I personally recommend Art in Motion to anyone who is interested in giving their children a high-quality experience in dance along with being taught integrity, hard work, and diligence with good morals and great work ethic. On a personal note, MY favorite part of having my daughter be a part of th A.I.M. Family was getting the opportunity myself to dance with my daughter at recital each year. The Daddy/Daughter dance that the owner teaches has got to be one of the biggest of its kind anywhere in the United States! There was over 75 dad's along with their daughters on stage EVERY YEAR that we danced in the recital... My daughter will never forget those memories with me that WE made both rehearsing and performing in some of the craziest costumes I've ever tried on... WELL DONE Chad and Tricia and STAFF! You guys are the best!

This dance studio has a lot to offer! There are definitely some things that I was very impressed by…read moreand also there were a few things that were questionable. First of all, the front desk staff was super helpful! She helped me with all of my questions and concerns... and I had a lot of them. I was impressed with the amenities that were on site (other than the dance studios) They have a lounge equipped with tables and couches perfect for waiting parents or a break between classes. There is also a decent size fitness center with a wide variety of machines. I heard that some of the moms signed up for trainers during their daughters dance classes... how convenient!! They also have vending machines with snacks, drinks, and coffee. There are 4 dance studios all of them different sizes to accommodate large and small classes.I did notice that the studios were cluttered with costumes, tumble mats, props, etc. The clutter made the studios seem smaller and disorganized. Are there no storage closets?? This place is huge there has to be somewhere else these things can be stored. The students seem to lack discipline, They scurry between studios, come in late to class, talk, goof around, and don't listen to the teacher. I also wasn't sure why there were little 7/8 year olds mixed in with 14/15 year olds. The younger kids stole the teacher attention with their constant need for discipline. I feel bad for the older girls because they have so much potential and have really amazing skills already, but the teacher could not provide with with any feedback besides using them as an example to the younger girls of how quiet they were (which didn't help the younger girls be quiet anyway). I would love to see the age groups separated a little more for the sake of the students. I mean they have the studio space - why not give your students a little more personalized attention? I do also want to address the adult ballet class. It is awesome for adults who don't have much experience. But it is also great for anyone who does have experience. I know I worked up a sweat. The class has a friendly and welcoming vibe and the teacher was full of energy. Great for parents to do while their daughters are in class. As one of the moms in this class said, "I now have a huge appreciation for what my daughter does." Amazing. I wish my mom took some adult ballet classes :) The entire vibe of the studio is definitely competition. When you first walk in there are these huge trophy's lined up against the wall. All the kids are running around in tiny booty shorts and bra-like tops. The all inclusive aspect (dance, study, work out, eat, probably even sleep/nap) everything you need is a recipe for long nights at this studio.
