Took our first Pilates reformer classes and greatly enjoyed it. No need to feel intimidated trying…read moresomething new, you can wear your regular workout clothes, but you must bring Pilates socks. They have socks for purchase if you forget. You'll need to download the app and then you can get a discount on the first class you try, with options to purchase unlimited plans or a number of passes to use within 90 days. The studio is beautiful.

The first time i came was for a Tibetan Singing Bowl soundbath, which consisted of laying on the…read morefloor with blankets and listening to the bowls. It was kind of like a trippy meditative kindergarten naptime. Every other class I've taken--Hatha, Hatha Flow, and Yin--has been just the right amount of challenging but also mellow and kind. The space is inviting, they have student discounts, and there are quite a few classes offered. The downtown location is convenient. The teachers know what they're doing. What a pleasant place.

Best yoga studio in Roanoke. I've been a 3yr devotee. Highly recommend Jill's classes. She…read morechallenges you spiritually and physically. The studio is vinyasa/hatha based with some heated classes (warm like 80s, no hot to the 90s or 100s). I love this studio and particularly Jill's classes because of the smart sequencing to music and peak poses. Most of the time I feel like I'm almost dancing fluidly through the asanas! The instructors (particularly Jill, Steve, Sarah, Kimberley and Wendi) challenge you to inversions, arm balances and binds. The studio definitely has a cult following and this is evident if you go to the Saturday 930am class!

I stopped into RVCF the day before Thanksgiving with my boyfriend who is a member. I was greeted by…read morethe owner and coach. There were a good variety of people of different fitness levels which made me feel comfortable since I just started crossfit a couple months ago (not in va). The coach of the night focused on technique and was helpful with any questions. If you haven't done crossfit before, each day is a different set of workouts. The workout of the day was broken up into three different skill levels: I chose the easiest, but you can modify it up or down as you wish! I was definitely feeling the workout the next day. At the end of the workout, we did a little cheer. Throughout the year, they do different optional competitions and team building events. The community aspect is super important when choosing a gym! I will return!

I seriously have not been excited to work out as I have at RVCF. The programming is spot on, with constant variety of movements and workouts-you can't get bored!. It's good to have that extra guidance outside the limits of your mind, pushing you you farther than you could working out on your own. Besides the fitness aspect, there is a strong sense of community. I have never felt ostracized or out of place because I am not in as awesome shape as another member or because I am slower than others or for whatever reason. My confidence is boosted every time I walk in the door because I know I will get the motivation I need to meet the goals that I want to obtain.

Nicole and Keala are wonderful people, and I will greatly miss In Balance's community. I also love that a primary focus of their studio is geared toward supporting the community either through donation flows or making yoga accessible for those on tight budgets. They also handled their response to COVID-19 responsibility and ethically by quickly moving their classes to Zoom. I highly recommend this studio for anyone looking for a community that's focused on supporting your personal growth, giving back, and having fun!

I was introduced to Pilates many years ago but just recently started taking classes more seriously. Rachel will start you out privately to get to know your body and movements and then you can move into classes (no more than 2 other people). Rachel is so patient and attentive, that cannot be matched at the big box Pilates studios. If you've wanted to try Pilates, give Rachel a call! Your body will thank you!

I've been going to Pilates at Energy Within twice a week for over a year, and I love it! Rachel,…read morethe owner and instructor, is amazing. She's been teaching Pilates for over 20 years and has a tremendous amount of knowledge. Because of her vast knowledge, she is able to address any specific needs and physical limitations you have as an individual. She really cares that people learn how to do Pilates right. The correct form is very important to her. She keeps her classes small enabling her to give everyone individualized attention. She has several classes throughout the day so if you miss your scheduled class it's easy to make it up. Every class is fun, and I've met so many great people in her classes. I highly recommend Energy Within...I wouldn't go anywhere else!!

On visits to the Roanoke area, I have trained with Dennis and co. at Hybrid and can say hands down, they have the best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu / grappling program in the Roanoke area. Of course people seek different goals out of their chosen martial art, but if its BJJ or MMA that you're interested in, then Hybrid is your spot. Head coach Dennis is a legit BJJ black belt under Master Pedro Sauer (one of the few black belt level instructors in SW VA) and the school also has solid striking and judo programs as well. -Hybrid welcomes all levels of students from starter to experienced competition level. The environment was open and humble and head coach Dennis was professional and welcoming .

When I came off of Active Duty where I started my jiu jitsu journey, I searched for a place that…read morewould "fit". I contacted the owners at Hybrid and they were more than welcoming. What I really enjoyed was as soon as I walked through the door, no one turned their backs and pretended I wasn't there. Instead, every person made an effort to introduce themselves. Absolutely one of the most welcoming gyms I have been to. It contains an extreme wealth of knowledge through a number of black belts, who are all willing to help. The students here are the most detailed and technical I have seen. In addition to jiu jitsu, their judo program is legit. I have really enjoyed learning the traditional Japanese names for the techniques and the amount of detail again, is outstanding. The Muay Thai program is great! Very challenging and gives you a great sweat. I can't say enough greatness about this extremely well-rounded martial arts center. This is not a "fighting gym", and I like that. The concentration on the arts as they were meant to be is exactly what I was looking for. They welcome anyone traveling through as well. If you are looking for a great place to train, stop here!!
