There are ALOT of options for where you choose to spend your time sweating. If your goals are based…read morearound just lifting then maybe a big box gym is for you. However, if you have health AND fitness goals in mind, then the Training House Midlothian is the BEST place you can be! I have been a member for a little over a year. In that time I have lost more than 30 pounds, improved my lean to fat mass, reduced my BMI to a healthy range, improved diet and nutrition, and my overall health as confirmed with my latest medical lab tests. Amber and Larisa Shaw have created an environment that is inherently designed to help members get and stay healthier. Each member of the training staff has unique strengths that can help encourage you, push you, and challenge you when you need it most. Age is just a number, and should not define your ability to get and stay healthy. My greatest encouragement comes from watching both the 20 somethings, and the 70 + year olds increasing their longevity through strength training. A membership at the Training House is the BEST investment you can make for your future!!

Beware of Janet! I had two interactions with this person and both were negative. After the second…read moreI immediately asked to cancel my membership. One of the other staff members asked me to wait and to speak with the GM Sasha. Later in the evening I asked to speak to her but she was gone for the day so I asked for another manager, who happened to be Janet! She was eager to have another staff member cancel it for me without even making an attempt to apologize or ask me to reconsider. Before leaving the gym, I asked for Sasha to reach out to me the next day, but when 3:30 pm rolled around I had not heard from her so I called her. She didn't even make an attempt to ask what had happened or why I was so angry that I asked to cancel my membership so quickly. She also knew exactly who I was because she never even asked for my name which means she had gotten the message about reaching out and chose to ignore it. I don't want to bash all the staff as most are very nice and welcoming, but I would have expected more from the club leadership. I would also note that if your considering joining the men's locker room Sauna has not worked for years now and the club leadership doesn't seem to have any plan or intention on fixing it.

Second, if the outside temperature does influence the pool's temperature, then why is it still cold (83 degrees vs 86 degrees)? The shower on the men's side is still closed due to an unsafe and inoperable light fixture. The sauna has been closed for months. And, now the hot tub has an inoperable piece. Maintenance has to be a top priority to keep customers happy. Too many of my swimming buddies are going elsewhere.

The evening Kids Club girls truly enjoy watching children. It is not just a job to them. They play with the kids and listen to them. They are absolutely amazing and have become family to me. If it wasn't for them taking care of my babies, I wouldn't have lost 30lbs in 4 months and be able to achieve my fitness goals. This is definitely a family environment. The only thing that could be improved upon at all at MAC is the management/workers for the Kids Club morning crew. Both times I took my children there in the morning, there were issues and I didn't get the welcoming vibe we get with the evening crew. It's unfortunate I can only workout in the evening but it's become habit now. We LOVEEEEE MAC!!!!

I joined Crunch for the closest thing to CrossFit I could find, which is their HIIT program. I am…read morewell versed in CrossFit, but it is cost prohibitive in this area, so HIIT, being a form of CrossFit, was the next best thing. I took 3 HIIT classes for free before joining the gym. The $9.99 per month membership does not include the classes so I signed up for the top tier at $29.99 a month. Definitely doable. Sadly though, the early morning and Friday HIIT classes were cancelled almost immediately after I joined, due to lack of participation. Lucky for me, my work schedule allows me to take the classes at 930am M-T. They also offer them at 6p. Carolyn is the HIIT trainer on the weekdays. I like her style, she's bubbly and motivational and I usually work up a good sweat. I've taken Traci's class on Saturdays, which is very intense. The HIIT zone has all the stuff...Pylo boxes, Battle Ropes, Pull Downs, Bar Jack, Slam Balls, Medicine Balls, etc. Crunch offers spin classes as well as several others. Aerobics, Zumba, All Out Athlete, Chisel, to name a few. I did a couple with Ruth and they were brutal, in a great way. I think the gym has every piece of work out equipment one could ever want, EXCEPT for the Smith Machine, which I really like if I'm lifting because I simply feel safer. The ONLY reason I'm giving Crunch 4 stars instead of 5 is that one day I asked for help understanding a machine and I was kind of brushed off. My fault for not being a little more assertive, being that I pay to play there, Because I came in for the classes and didn't ask for more, that's where I'm at. I'll work it out. All in all, I am enjoying Crunch and the HIIT Zone, even on days when I can't show up for class.

ACAC gyms are the bomb.com!…read more So this experience was kind of like going to CineBistro to watch a movie and then going to... a regular movie theatre. Once you go to CineBistro with the in-theatre dinner service, crafty cocktails, and comfy chairs, it ruins your moviegoing experience forever. You become a movie theatre snob, if you will. ACAC has the same effect... specifically the Short Pump location. I became a member about a year ago and ACAC Short Pump has been good to me ever since. The rooftop bar and pool, the floor to ceiling windows, the cafe, the sprawling classrooms! All of it is top of the line. I've always been curious about the Midlothian location, but when you live in the West End, traveling to that area is like going to Timbuktu. However, I happened to have a meeting in good ol' Midlo so I packed a gym bag and used it as an opportunity to ch ch check it out. When I first walked in I noticed how large and in charge the space was. I mean, it really was ginormous. But, it looked more like a giant warehouse with a bunch of machines than a health club, which is what Short Pump looks like. Also- I thought the basketball court inside the space was really cool until folks started playing and it got real loud. Real fast. That would be annoying to me if I'm just minding my business on the treadmill 3-4 days a week and I have to hear shoes squeaking and voices echoing. I digress. The one way that Midlothian beat Short Pump? The pools! They have amazing pools and an outdoor water park. Yes, Short Peezy has the rooftop pool, but these were so much bigger. In this case, bigger does = better. Another area that gave Midlothian major cool points? I left my favorite earrings on the stationary bike and didn't realize it until I was already in the car on my way home. I called the front desk and someone had already turned them in! I went to pick them up today and they were safe and sound in an envelope with my name on them. Thanks, Midlothian!

Unfortunately the facility's priority is the swim team. From late May through July the outdoor pools are used by the team morning afternoon and evening to accommodate families with different schedules. Even our weekly evening class that uses the deep well has been moved inside so the children who aren't on the swim team can play in the pool. Whenever I have brought this up with management they deny that swim team is their priority and say that we must share the pool. I don't think this is a fair statement since swim team has the pool 8-9 hours a day (not including meets)
