We did so much.. butpees, threw a heavy ball up the wall while doing squats, sit ups, pull ups, pull ups on rings, lunges and more.

I arrived early to check in and get a sense of the layout of this gym - they're all so different, but I was pleased to see this space was a decent size (much bigger than the postage stamp sized F45 I regularly go to). Plus it's in a shopping plaza with a ton of free parking. I was able to get in my regular Saturday workout, with the same level of great coaching I am used to. I especially loved the industrial sized fans scattered throughout the space. Definitely recommend this F45!

I love that you can get a workout in and get on with your day in only 45 minutes. Monday, Wednesday, Friday are cardio, Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday are strength, and Saturday is a 1 hour hybrid workout. There's so much diversity in the workouts you never get bored. The trainers push me to my limits every class, it's great. F45 Dumbarton has truly become something I look forward to every day. If you're not sure, give it a try. I guarantee you'll love it.

The equipment and amenities are all top notch--from the benches, weights, and cardio equipment, to the straightener/curling iron and makeup remover wipes in the bathroom. This gym is inclusive in all aspects, not to mention so much fun and a great workout. They offer a variety of classes and always mix up the different workouts to prevent you (and your muscles) from getting bored. The classes are all tailored around YOUR personalized "base code," which allows you to workout in a community, but challenge yourself according to your level of fitness. I am SO happy I met Matt and Kellie and that I found this gym. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun community or a way to mix up their workout routine!

Wonderful gym, wonderful staff…read more I've been working with Ashlee for almost a year. I came in with a history of awful knee injuries, multiple surgeries followed by iffy recoveries, and little to no faith in the muscles in my lower body. In less than 12 months I've gone from constantly worrying about those shaky knees to feeling real confidence in my movements. Doubling my PRs has just been an added perk... Ashlee has been awesome in creating tailored programs for me and what I need. Just as important, she fosters a welcoming and encouraging environment in the group training sessions that make them more enjoyable than they have any business being. If you want help with nutrition, she's got you. If you want suggestions for good obscure metal bands, she's got you there too. When you look at my Yelp history, you'll notice that I've only ever reviewed moving companies. Couldn't be happier that my first non-moving related assessment is ReDefineRVA and Ashlee. Couldn't recommend both more!

You come in, do 9 rounds of 3 minute each and have a 3 minute break in between. The trainer teaches you each round and will be there for anything you need during your workout. 30 min and you get a great full body workout with muscle work as well as cardio. You get a heart monitor you can wear and shows on the tv to help you see how you are doing along the way. Jess is the owner and she's awesome and super helpful. The other trainers are fantastic as well, good people all around. It's the best workout and nothing like it in town.

Otherwise the gym is always clean and the staff is very positive and attentive! As far as personal training, I joined the gym in August 2017 but only started training with Waleed in the past few months. I learn something new every time I go in for training and never cease to be amazed by the knowledge that Waleed has about general fitness and strength training. He always seems to be one step ahead in thinking about your physical and mental progress (and is very efficient with scheduling). His passion for helping others succeeding in their goals really shows through.

The front desk service is good, however, the personal trainers are to busy in the phone texting to answer any questions and seemed annoyed if interrupted for enquires.

There are some opportunities for improvement…read morethough: (1) There is only one rowing machine. 1 out of every 2 times I want to use it, I either have to wait on someone else or someone else has to wait on me. I've requested another rowing machine on their periodic email survey multiple times, to no avail. I wouldn't be surprised if the one rower disappears one day due to the gradual takeover of CrossFit equipment. (2) There's very little open space thanks to a gradual but steady takeover of CrossFit equipment. You have to weave around people and weights, which is a hazard, just to get to the cardio area. (3) They don't seem to do much upkeep of the treadmills. The very same treadmills have been off (e.g., too loud of a sound when you run on it, indicating parts need replacing) for years. It makes me wonder if they've replace any of the belts or done other standard maintenance that is important for ensuring the machines stay lower impact & true to the speed indicated on the screen. (4) I've never seen staff cleaning the machines. I used to work at another gym and it's good practice to have staff clean a few types of machines each hour on a rotating basis. This is particularly important since many patrons don't clean after themselves, and patrons don't (nor should) clean parts of the machine they don't personally touch like the base.

I'm a paying member from College Park MD and was here in Richmond on a work assignment. I parked my…read morecar outside and it ended up getting towed during the hour that I was inside working out. Come to find out, members have to have a parking sticker on their car or else they'll be towed. They don't communicate this effectively AT ALL other than a piece of paper at the front desk that has small text stating you may be towed if you don't have a parking sticker (in a long paragraph) and they expect people to come in and immediately read it and ask for a sticker? I'm not from the area and because of them not being more communicative about it, I have to pay $195. The female manager who I spoke to after gave a terrible attitude and said it's not her responsibility that I didn't pay attention to the sheet and that's the best they can do to communicate it. BS! You should know out of state members would have no clue and when we first arrived and said it was our first time there, you should immediately mention the parking sticker! Just terrible management here and communication. The gym also is not very appealing when inside and has a weird layout. Definitely not coming back to this location smh

The trial period was great, and I really wanted to become a member. The only thing that kept me from joining was .... gas. I live around 30 minutes away from the location and as you already know... making excess drives is not feasible right now. I really like that a person can log themselves to a bag using the Wrap app, keeping a log of their progress per session. It also makes it a lot easier to sign up for a class as well. They are in a very quaint location, but there is limited roadside parking, and you can't park on one side of the building due to it belonging to one of the businesses on the strip. You can park in the location closest to the restaurant that has outdoor seating. Very happy with the upkeep of the restrooms. I'm always going to give a heads up about a bathroom if I go to it, lol. Overall, I would say that you easily burn a minimum of 200 calories, and it is great accountability to stay active.

As a VCU alum, I get a pretty decent deal on gym memberships at VCU fitness facilities, which includes both MCV and CSG. While MCV is more convenient to where I work/live and is much less crowded, the CSG is much better equipped. The cardio machines are mostly the same as MCV, there is just a much larger quantity. There is a much better variety of weight equipment, which is very much appreciated. Perhaps my favorite part of CSG is the pool. While there are only a few swim lanes, there is a big open area with a deep end that allows me to get in some pool running. The only other such pool I am aware of in the area is 20 minutes south of town. My biggest complaint is the crowdedness of the gym when school is in session. Even with the large quantity of equipment, popular machines and racks can still be hard to find, particularly in the evenings after work. Additionally, while I love the self-locking lockers, half of them don't work.
