Trainers near Richmond

“If you are looking for a place to get your nails done, this is it! Ask for Khamille. She’s so bomb and she does pedicures as well. You can check out her IG @ifixyourhands and send her a DM to make an appointment. She is sometimes available for walk ins but make sure you check with her first!The salon is very nice and clean! Great customer service as well.“

“Just returned to City Sports after being injured and recovering from surgery. I have always liked City Sports. The only thing that bothers me is there tends to be a number of people who sit on limited equipment and play with their phones for inordinate amounts of time. And NO they are not resting between sets. It probably happens at a lot of gyms.“

“Highly recommend TNT! I came in intimidated by strength training, and now it's a core part of my weekly routine. Eric and Rikko are incredibly knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely fun to train with. The community is wonderful too — every time I'm in the gym, the vibe is supportive and positive. I also travel a lot, and they've been great about staying flexible, even doing virtual sessions when I'm on the road. Training with them has made a real difference in my overall fitness, mental health, and even my running and pickleball.“

“Dropped in while I was travelling through San Fran. Incredibly welcoming team, a fantastic location and awesome gym full of everything you need to get a workout in. A real shame I wasn’t staying longer!! Well done guys 10/10“

“Reading the other reviews, I can second all of them. I'd just add that as a woman in her late 60s I feel totally comfortable here. The coaches take everyone seriously and I have never felt talked down to, as can happen in some gyms. There is a lovely balance of serious lifting and socializing between lifts. It has been very fun getting to know people of all ages and life paths I might not have had the chance to meet in the rest of my everyday life. Whether you are a long term, serious lifter, or someone who has never lifted but keeps hearing you probably should (yes I'm especially talking to you my fellow "mature" women) check them out. You will not regret it.“

“Rob Lin is an exceptional physical therapist. Rob and his entire team are patient and welcoming, and his 1-on-1 work is phenomenal. If you have the option, I cannot recommend The Technique enough. I knew when I signed up that working with him would be an investment, and it is one I am so glad I made.

I came in with an injury that I have been struggling with for 4 months. I had been seeing another PT but I had repeated setbacks during my recovery. I was in consistent pain and I wasn’t improving.

In 3 weeks or so, Rob has gotten me to a place where I can function again and even push my physical limits. He is kind, reassuring, and his hands-on work has consistently made an obvious impact. Immediately after getting off the table, I feel less pain and improved stability that last. His work on me has allowed me to push further during session and during at-home exercises, which he’s tailored based on my feedback.

TLDR: I’ve already recommended Rob and The Technique PT to friends struggling with injuries and would urge anyone to book a free in-person consultation. Rob is amazing and I look forward to every session. I can’t thank him and his team enough.

“Just one introductory session with these folks completely shifted how I think about strength training. I love that the foundation of this work is rooted in a philosophy that emphasizes slowness, deep presence and muscle fatigue instead of number of reps. Their resistance training is designed to meet you wherever you're at and consistently challenge you to find the next edge. These folks really care about their craft and their culture really motivated me to give it my best -- highly recommend working with them!“

“I don't remember how we found Alison and Truve but I'm thrilled that we did. I'm 71 and my partner is 68 and we wanted a gym and a trainer who would work us hard but be knowledgeable and respectful of the challenges of keeping older bodies fit and strong. Alison listened carefully to our goals and concerns and set us up with Jenn. Working with Jenn is a delight - she knows her stuff and pushes me just enough. Every week she shows up with a different workout that keeps me on my toes - she's always fully present and responsive. As for the gym itself, once you've covered the basics like cleanliness and equipment quality (check and check), it's all about the vibe - are you comfortable being there or not. I've been a member of multiple gyms before and Truve is hands down the place I've most enjoyed going. Do yourself a favor and give them a try.“

“I have been going to Truve for classes since 2017 and I remain a loyal fan. Classes I have taken include TRX, dance, various iterations of Bootcamp and HIIT. The instructors are now friends after all this time. Come and check it out“

“JORDAN IS AWESOME. One of the best personal trainers and coaches I've ever worked with. He understands deeply how muscles work with each other, and builds you a program that addresses your unique muscle imbalances. I've enjoyed working with him for the past year, and plan to continue.“

“After injuring my shoulder shoveling snow while in the mountains during snowpocalyose last winter, I knew it was time to get my body back in shape. Enter, Bliss Fitness and Health! From the first Rebel Recess class that I took, I have never felt more comfortable (except for the burpees!!) or more welcomed into a fitness space. The teachers are fantastic; the space is gorgeous; and most importantly after every class I feel euphoric, strong, and, dare I say, filled with bliss.“

“I recently joined Strong Island Fitness LLC and I'm thoroughly impressed! From the moment I stepped into the gym, I felt welcomed by the friendly and knowledgeable staff. The facility is always clean and well-maintained, which makes for a great workout environment.The variety of equipment and classes offered is a major plus. Whether you're into weightlifting, cardio, or group fitness classes, there's something here for everyone. The instructors are fantastic—they really know how to motivate you and make sure you get the most out of each session.What I appreciate the most is the sense of community. It's not just a gym; it's a place where you're encouraged by both the staff and fellow gym-goers. This supportive atmosphere makes it a lot easier to stick with your fitness goals.Overall, if you're looking for a top-notch fitness experience on Long Island, Strong Island Fitness LLC is the place to be. I highly recommend it!“

“I have had hip pain for two years. I have seen chiropractors, acupuncturists, physiotherapists, sports doctors and physical therapists. It was not until I began working with Jonathan that I felt that I had the information I needed to heal. And heal I have. Jonathan listened carefully to my descriptions of pain, during the times I was not with him, as well as while working with him. Then he tried different exercises until he found the ones that were pain free but improved my mobility and my strength. I am so lucky to have found Jonathan. He is a thoughtful listener and a creative problem solver. He joins a vast knowledge of exercises with a deep well of compassion. I cannot recommend him enough.“

“I worked with Abu for over a year and loved every minute of it. Abu is great for people of every fitness level, and taught me a lot about proper form and how to get the most out of my workouts. He will push you to get stronger, and even had some good tips on proper diet that I found to be helpful. I would highly recommend Abu to anyone, especially to those at the beginning of their fitness journeys.“

“Super fun place to train and lift. The pump classes are high energy and the powerlifting classes are supportive and informative. Really community oriented and they even have a non profit to provide free coaching to Oakland youth. Coach Jason and Pela and all the other trainers are knowledgeable and awesome to work with. Definitely recommend!“

“Have been going to this gym over a year now. Love how it is never too crowded, staff always friendly, and good music. It’s clean & I already think it’s awesome, even more awesome: they are remodeling the entire gym this month!!! I’m so excited. The gym manager Daniel is great and helped me sign up last year - very glad I joined Live Fit! Love my Polk st location.“

“I've been going to Perfect Fit Training for over 5 years and can't imagine working out anywhere else. It's such a relief to train in a small, friendly space instead of fighting for equipment at the bigger gyms. Jasmine has been my trainer this whole time and she's amazing - she knows exactly when to push me harder and when to dial it back depending on what's going on in my body and life. I am excited to continue my fitness journey at Perfect Fit!“

“All trainers are friendly and amazing, all while whooping your a$$ Great community environment and applicable for all levels of fitness.“

“I'm so blessed to be part of the 9Round community! Dave and all of the other trainers here are so kind, so good at what they do and SO supportive. During my first year working out here, I focused on my mental health. What a difference a year makes! 9Round has become the thing that pulls me through hard days - just being part of the beautiful, diverse community of people who come here and getting the encouragement and support from Dave and the crew has meant everything. Now I'm more focused on my physical... and damn does Dave push me in the best ways! I'm down 15 lbs. and feeling so confident and strong. Dave is always willing to connect, hear about your life, offer nutrition and PT advice... it is just such a blessing to receive that kind of love and care in this crazy world we live in!“

“Super fun training for my kid. Much more gender neutral than other sports with a good age spread too. Positive coaching with a good mix of fun and serious skill building. A touch of the Francophile world as well“

“Ann Michelle Ongerth, Clincal Director, and her staff have been instrumental in supporting my 22 year old college student with her recovery from a winter break ACL knee surgery. She had only 3-weeks to get strong enough post surgery to return to campus for the next quarter and be independent enough to get around mostly on her own. Ucla is a hilly campus with very limited parking so this seemed like a daunting goal, but with Albany Physical Therapy’s expert guidance and treatment, she was able to meet this goal! I can’t express my gratitude strongly enough for Ann Michelle and the staff as a mother, knowing my daughter is now stable enough and ready to return to school to continue her healing journey. My daughter entered in extreme pain and after only two weeks is able to exercise and move on her own. The staff have been so caring and prioritized getting her appointments because they saw how much she needed them. The most effective, supportive, thoughtful, and fun physical therapy you could hope for!“

“Soooo glad I found this place! Carl is great at what he does and a fantastic person too. The rest of the trainers are super friendly.“

“Very respectful, knowledgeable, and professional trainer. The best workout I’ve ever had.“

“I like the owner who runs it. I paid for my two of my favorite residential tenants to receive personal sessions with him and my renters could not believe how effectively and efficiently D.J.' utilized both time and space, created a challenging workout for them on- the- spot, helped them work on trouble issues, and helped them discovered spare muscles they didn't know they even had! They both told me it was one of if not the best workout sessons and time they've ever spent.“

“I have been training at The Perfect Workout twice a week since January 7, 2019. If you are looking for personal trainers who meet you at your current abilities and help you achive stamina and strength, this is the perfect place for you. I've lost three inches; and, I am so much stronger! This strength recently came in handy. I had my entire home interior painted, including closets. I was able to assist my son with unassemly and moving my heavy furniture! Thanks to all my trainers over the year in El Cerrito....Chris, Alyssa, Greg, and Melisa!“
