A lot has changed since I first wrote a 5-star review 4 years ago. New ownership took over and…read moreCrossFit Charlottesville has been on a slow downward spiral ever since. An inflated ego and lack of leadership from the owner has turned this gym into a toxic environment. He fires good coaches and kicks out his members because he doesn't like them. It's the least professional way to run a business that I've ever seen. Additionally, the programming is just "Functional Bodybuilding by Marcus Filly", called "Persist". He just posts the same workout that Filly posts so if you want to save some money and have a less expensive gym space, you can just subscribe to that for much cheaper. It's not really CrossFit, and it's not really bodybuilding though. This gym has lost its identity and it's sad because it used to be a great place.

I am very pleased with the quality of the instruction and the results I am seeing. As a middle aged, overweight mom, it is quite intimidating trying to reverse years of sloth and poor impulse control, but the staff at CrossFit Charlottesville have been very supportive and always adapt the workouts to my abilities as I gain strength and ability. I also signed my boys up for the youth program and they love it. They have great fun while building their strength.

If I take a break and not show up for a week or two, they don't hassle me. I have definitely improved since I've been coming to this gym.

This is a workout that is great for any fitness level!

if i could give no stars i most definitely would. i had my baby shower in this location. let me…read moresay, i was given 30 minutes to set up before my event. if you ever decorated and set up for a baby shower of over 10 people then you know it takes about an hour. nonetheless we set up which pushed my event to start about an hour later. the event space was nice and big. however, the chairs and tables were located on a loft area. which was very inconvenient. we proceed to have the baby shower and ending the baby shower i was opening gifts and other people were taking things down and cleaning up. the bathrooms were done as we were finishing up. the owner terri comes in rudely as a guest is trying to complement her on the space. the owner proceeds to say you were supposed to be out by 5pm. which is true but we were taking things down due to it being so many things. but she never approached the host of the event. i go over to explain and apologize and she rudely says," its just now 5pm and your not finished." i let her know as i am sure she can clearly see everyone taking things down and walking out to cars to pack things up. i go over to her to let her know she is being rude and that there are nicer ways to say things to people. she says i already spoke to you when i walked in ( spoke to my guest). says you people need to hurry up. (referring to black people) but here i am 9 months pregnant trying to help everyone out with things i go to the bathroom with my daughter and she asks to wash her hands. and this lady has the audacity to speak to my 3-year-old and says don't touch that (hand sanitizer) after speaking rudely to a few children and adults. if you are a person of color, i would not recommend using this space. and for the cost $ 450.00 i would had thought she would have had a little grace and class to be polite since she actually entered the event earlier than 5pm. the stress, the embassment, the disappointment and the fact that i had worked so hard to have a wonderful babyshower experience was completely ruined by this lady.

Wow this is a fun workout! It was my first time attending jazzercise and it was at 6am (ahhh). I…read morecame in a bit groggy and was woken up quickly by the energy of this workout. The workout itself is a mix of cardio and strength building. The cardio is the "dancing" part while the strength part includes mats and weights. I cannot dance- at all. But the steps are repeated through the whole song so by the half way point everyone is able to do it even if you are rhythmically disinclined. Every time the instructor gave a dance direction she made sure to explain and show what it was, so I never felt lost for too long. I'm sure it gets easier to remember the steps each time you go. The thing I liked most was that you can completely tailor this to the level you are able/willing to do. The age range was diverse so it wasn't intimidating for me to slow down or go harder as needed (of course the instructor was always pushing me to go harder which I tend to need!). Also, no mirrors which I love! Overall, I was sweaty, laughing, and could feel the burn at 6am so I call that a win. Shout out to the instructor I had, Lizzy, for keeping all of us engaged and motivated!

The workout is good, but the pushy sales tactics really turned me off. I came once in the summer of…read more2022. I was going to be traveling a lot over the summer and so a monthly membership didn't feel like the right fit, but the cost per class for the punch pass didn't feel worth it to me. So I decided against joining even though it was a good workout. Fast forward to January 2023, I received an email inviting me back to try the workout out again. I signed up for another class and had a phone conversation with one of the employees (Kelly?) discussing the various options. During this call, prices were not discussed. I came into the class and the prices were shown and explained, along with the packages. They require you to buy their HR monitor and gloves, which I wasn't super interested in because I already own three HR monitors and can see my HR in real time on my Apple Watch. The pricing did not feel competitive to me - I believe the package I had been planning on was now $19/class for ~30 minute classes. I believe I can get a much better value for my money elsewhere. Kelly was very pushy that I select the package I wanted before the workout and when I told her I had to think about whether it would fit into my budget she seemed very unhappy and guilted me about this being my second free workout. I probably should have just walked out then but I had already given up half my lunch break driving there and having the conversation so I did the workout and left with no plans to return. Again, I like the workout (it's a great amount of cardio packed into 30 minutes and I'm definitely sore after) but I do not like the sales tactics and the guise of being invited back to try the workout again only to be bombarded and guilted upon not being ready to sign a contract that day. I just wouldn't expect that sort of treatment from a locally owned business.

They're each only 30 minutes long, but you get a full body workout and won't be able to finish without breaking a sweat! The program is HIIT style with lots of cardio and core work, and you need only minimal equipment (hand wraps and gloves, which you can get when you join). Since the initial pandemic closures, they've been able to safely reopen with new protocols in place, but they also now offer a vast library of virtual workouts that you can complete remotely on your own time as well as live Zoom workouts with the trainers a few times a week. I've been taking advantage of these options and working out from the comfort of my own home or even while traveling. I miss the trainers and their encouragement and assistance, but I appreciate everything the club has done to help members stay connected and enthusiastic about their fitness!

He is the laziest employee they have. He acts like he is going out of his way to answer a question. All he wants to do is click on membership cards and stand there. I also don't like they allow kids in there. Some are running around screaming on the track and could knock over someone that is in rehab from a stroke. Kids do not belong in there using the equipment and rarely are the parents around. Make a gym for kids if you want them in there, otherwise have them go to the Kid's Zone.

Glad we got a membership here (although generally more expensive than I normally would pay for a gym membership) and I do recommend the family rate since it's the most cost effective. Enjoy your workouts!

I visited upstairs and did the elliptical, some free weights and a leg press. all worked great. I was disappointed to learn that ACAC as a multi-location workout facility doesn't have a membership tier that is inclusive for temporary/non-residents. it's either, you buy a one-time pass for $25; a three-day one; or a full monthly. nothing in between. Charlottesville itself is known for having a very transient, ever-changing population so this policy doesn't make sense to me. When I was there, some weirdo was on the stairclimber making this god-awful coughing noise about every 10 seconds. look, I know everyone has their workout quirks but spreading your germs around knowingly (in the age of airborne viruses like COVID) is a bad idea. I brought it to the attention of the desk attendant and she did not seem particularly phased by the news. ACAC Downtown is within walking distance of my flat/crashpad so I will go back. but I'm just hoping they either bring back the punch card or institute a program for non-residents to make life a bit easier.
