Used to have a great indoor pool but it has been broken for some time and will remain so for another year I think. The only problem is that they often keep the weight rooms and gymnaisum extremely hot. Not only is it a waste of tax dollars, it is very uncomfortable. Otherwise I'd give it five stars for sure.

Lots of members talking 6-8 feet from each other. I didn't care to hear their conversations. I went there because it was convenient, but the YMCA has 6 floors, a huge pool, NO MUSIC OR LOUD PEOPLE.

I have attempted to reach the owners Evan and Rob for several months now and have been completely stonewalled. In fact the owners have never once reached back to me, even after I've contacted corporate to have their assistance in contacting this gym. I have been stonewalled for months. This establishment continues to bill me, when I have not set foot in the gym for over half a year due to COVID. I no longer even live in Virginia! They have failed to provide me a copy of my contract upon request.

Okay, I thought I was going to hate it here. I go to gyms across the country because of my job so I…read morefeel pretty confident saying that this is one of the best places I've ever gone to. The gym is HUGE and has a ton of equipment with areas for every lifting style (Olympic, CrossFit, and bodybuilding). It is pretty overwhelming at first but the layout is well thought out and functional so you can find what you want pretty quickly. Huge perk: You can access the gym 24/7. Even though I've been lifting for a long time, I initially felt very intimidated by all the obviously fit people there. Let me tell you, I have not had any bad experiences! In the contract, there's a line specifically banning a**hole behavior. Haha If you are in Norfolk and need a clean, well equipped, safe gym to go to, look no further!!

Danny is an awesome owner and person. Super kind and very friendly to speak to. Hooked me up solid with a 3 day pass while in town for a conference near by. Way cool.

First, let me say that I have not actually used this gym yet, but I had such a positive…read moreintroduction and sign-up experience I just had to leave this comment. My Medigap supplement policy offers a free gym membership and this AF location is about a mile from my house, so I decided to give them a shot. I was greeted by the manager, Ali, who was just as personable and professional as she could be. The registration process was straightforward and Ali answered all my questions. She then gave me a tour of the gym which was larger than I expected, nicely organized, and very clean. At my age, I will probably be focused mostly on cardio (treadmill and cycle), but the gym was well equipped with various machines and free weights. There were also several bathrooms, including some with showers. As I left, I was given my key fob for member access 24/7. If using this gym is anything like my initial impression, it will more than meet my expectations.

Cannot say enough good about this place! I have primarily worked with Emma, and training with her…read morehas been an incredible experience. She's thorough, knowledgeable, and precise in her delivery of both programming and feedback. She provides encouragement where appropriate and maintains a healthy approach to steady incremental improvement. The programing she compiled has been very helpful in meeting my specific training goals, and the collaborative nature of it has felt like a breath of fresh air. On occasion I've worked with some of the other trainers, and they all exhibit the same high degree of professionalism and competence. The only thing I wish was a little different pertains to scheduling. Training sessions are 45 minutes which can feel a little tight depending on the day. And while I do also appreciate their interpersonal and manual methods for schedule changes, the convenience of selecting time slots off an app or website is sometimes hard to beat. That being said, they have always been reasonably accommodating to changes when there is an opening, and their approach also helps keep me more consistent, so I can appreciate that the tradeoffs have their merits. On a separate note, coming from another gym with group fitness classes, the pricing may feel a little steep, but for the level of tailored care and training, I've found them to be competitively priced with similar programs in other cities and a good value proposition. Their facilities are also kept in pristine condition with equipment in excellent working order. If you're searching for a wholistic approach to improving your fitness, look no further!

The one on one personal training in private rooms is a perfect fit for me. I train with Jaron, and I cannot say enough good things about him. He is thoughtful with my training program, adjusting as needed to suit my needs and goals while keeping it challenging. I am amazed at the progress I have made in just 4 months and look forward to future accomplishments. Cheers to many more healthy years!

I'm not sure if there's a parking lot near this place but I just park at the garage where the parking office is, it should be a 5-10 min walk(Walking with friends talking gossip stuff maybe 20 mins lol). The check-in process was fast, for first-timers, you'll have to go to the desl and they'll show you how to register, as I remember you have to put your hands on the check-in thing 3 times then you're good to go. Well they'll teach you. After that you just have to punch in your UIN then put your hands on the check-in thing then you're good to go. I didn't have time to use the machines but they look amazing and new, and there is a big variety of machines. There's also a track on the secomd floor for people to jog. And there's a swimming pool, a climbing wall(not always open, look for the schedule online), many rooms for classes(some of them are free, look for them online), squash rackets etc. There's a place where you can rent all the equipment to play, I came here to play basketball so I rent a basketball, and it is a Nike. The reason I took one star off is because of the basketball court. Although it is huge and I like how they put a thing to block the farthest court so the intense games on the other side won't worry about us the chill people having our ball rolling into their court, the floor is slippery, which means it is dirty. The floor is also weird because the ball won't bounce back, I guess they are some cheap materials. Overall, it is a good recreation center to workout, especially it's free for students so you cannot ask for more.
