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. I use to go to another kickboxing place and this is really great for letting out any frustrations and feeling good after. You get a free first time class so worth the try!

Our instructer was awesome, great personality, kept the class fun and interesting. Most of us were beginners but he told us to do what we can, dont try to out do the person next to you. 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 loved the flow of the glass although there were moments I had to break, I still kept up! This crissfit gym is hidden but is a great place to work out!

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.

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)

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!
