I love The Gym so much. I’ve lived in Charlottesville for 4 years and googled this gym before I came here and I’ve never left. Justin the owner, is beyond knowledgeable and experienced in the industry and in many forms of personal training and conditioning. He helps each person at their own fitness level and is one of the most genuine and kind people you will ever meet. There is almost every piece of equipment you would ever need here from powerlifting, cardio, bodybuilding, strong man, CrossFit and everything in between. I also Love the community engagement Justin and the gym participate and host within Charlottesville! Cubbies to put your stuff, kombucha on tap and a just an overall great environment . HIGHLY recommend this gym.

The trainers at this gym are incredibly knowledgeable and immediately treat you like family. Since both my S.O. and I started weightlifting here we have become much happier and healthier. By far the best personal trainers Ive ever had that teach you how to do the movements right and gain confidence as a weightlifter.

If you are looking for a clean fun little gym with bright colors... go to planet fitness. This is the exact opposite. The Gym is the place to get things done properly. Perfect for powerlifting, bodybuilding, strongman, crossfit, athletes, and other gym rats. The owners are very friendly and offer group courses, too, also for beginners.

Great place to workout! They have a ladies group on Saturday mornings. The ladies group is a lot of fun while getting strong! We have women who are all different shapes, sizes, age, and background. We all come together to encourage and have a great time!

Best gym there is. Great for not only powerlifters but body builders as well as any gym goers with a strong passion and a love of community.

Extremely supportive staff and environment. There is an expectation to push yourself when youre there, not just sit around.Whether starting off or a training enthusiasts, the gym is a great place for everyone.

Attended my sons first weight-lifting event. Enjoyed all 8 hrs.

Very kind and welcoming staff, but does not seem to take COVID precautions very seriously at all. The gym is full of people not wearing masks and there are no social distancing guidelines. Would give 5 stars if there were any health precautions.

Absolutely awesome space with lots of equipment and great people running it! Only reason for 4/5 stars is that they were a kinda pushy about joining their group training sessions, but I understand they have to advertise. On the other hand, if you’re looking for group training, they definitely have a lot of options that might fit you!

I kind of wish they had more barbells, but its great!!

They are extremely helpful and kind with the way they deal with customers. Their main focus is to help you as a customer get the best experience you can have.

Special Needs Program! This is the only Gym in town that my son with Special Needs is able to train and be accepted and appreciated. My son feels at home and has more confidence and (physically and mentally) strength then he ever has before his entire life. Everyone is welcomed! Toni, Justin, Nicole, Sarah and many more are Amazing and Care for everyone!

Easily the best group of trainers I have ever worked with. Justin and his staff are incredible and tailor the workout to fit the individual needs. You listen to exactly what they tell you because they know exactly what they are talking about. The Gym makes a hard workout much more enjoyable than anywhere I have trained in the past. Highly recommended.

My favorite gym! The owner has been my trainer for over 10 years and is one of the nicest people I have ever met. The environment at this gym is unprecedented - a gym I actually look forward to going to. Whether you are an experienced weight lifter or a beginner that has never picked up a dumb bell, you will be made to feel right at home from the very first day.

Really great options for equipment and barbells /racks/benches and squats. Huge rogue Monkey Bars, ropes, tires, sleds. Couple of cardio machines and cables, lots of machines! Dumbbells, Kbs, medicine balls, EZ bars, this gym has everything!The owners run the many and energetic/very positive vibed classes- and are *jacked*. Ample parking and one of my fav gyms Ive been to. Had to reset my phone, so no photos, but go check it out! VERY reasonable prices, too!!

Im currently in Charlottesville for an academic year. I arrived in August and will be leaving in June of next year. The Gym is a gift.I started studying conjugate training around February 2019. I quickly realized the shortcomings in my strength training, and tried to assimilate the lessons Id gleaned from listening to hours and hours of Westside Barbell podcasts. I was shocked to learn that Charlottesville had a conjugate gym.My overall strength and power has increased significantly since joining this gym. The programming is well thought out, but even more remarkable is the attention to detail from Justin, Toni, and the other coaches -- they will stop and adjust your form to make sure you are lifting safe, and to make sure you get the full benefit of any particular exercise.While there are no shortcuts to obtaining high levels of strength, there are plenty of routes that will take you longer, waste your time, and put you at unnecessary risk of injury. The Gym is the opposite. Here, you are on an optimal path.Also, anyone can join this gym. There are folks of every age and experience level. Sure, there may be a few guys deadlifting close to 800 lbs, but those same individuals are ready and willing to support the new guy or girl trying to deadlift 80 lbs.

Great place to train! Real deal. Toni’s the best!

To sum it all up, I feel happy when Im at The Gym. Never ever in my wildest dreams did I think I would enjoy working out. Thanks to the incredibly talented, caring, supportive and fun coaches at The Gym, I always leave there feeling happy, inspired, and confident.

Come to THE GYM!!! Believe me you will NOT regret it. It has an amazing staff. They work with each individual member in order to achieve your goals. You will meet so many wonderful members. Everyone helps each another & supports each other in obtaining their personal goals and to sucessed. It is like a 2nd family. Come on out & join the family !!!!

Best gym culture i’ve ever been a part of. Everyone supports each other and always willing to share advice to improve your workout. Can’t say enough good things about this place. If I ever find myself back in the Charlottesville area this will be my gym for sure.

I really like the name of this establishment

Great facilities, equipment, and hours. Has equipment for Powerlifiting, Weightlifting, Strongman, and more. Also has a great gym culture.

Great gym. Excellent staff. Monolifts, chains, lots of iron, sleds, and even a yoke. If you want strength training, this is your gym.

I have found The Gym to be the best environment to improve one’s overall health. The strength and conditioning training are second to none with state of the art equipment and training programs. Justin Tooley’s vast experience and ongoing education in this field brings a unique aspect to The Gym.Additionally, The Gym has helped me rehabilitate my injuries that included ulnar tendonitis and lower back strain. The staff applied a number of special methods to break up scar tissue and brought me through carefully planned exercises that have fully restored my health. I feel better now than I have for over 20 years working as a Gastroenterologist which puts tremendous strain on our bodies.I wholeheartedly recommend The Gym to improve your life and reach a more healthy state.Steven M. Powell, M.D.

Definitely one of the top gyms in the area. Justin Tooley is a great guy and the equipment is top notch. Its a wonderful powerlifting gym for the average Joe. Theres no meatheads, just friendly people who all love putting in the hard work. I work at a local gym and receive free membership there, but I will be joining The Gym as a member because I enjoyed it that much. The atmosphere is the BEST in Charlottesville.

The only place to go if you want professional strength training, not canned workout routines from a video or the Internet. Great place to train!

Awesome
