I’ve recently been training with Chris Patterson here and i must say i love it! The gym is top notch, the atmosphere here makes me want to work out, and the trainers I’ve met are respectful and motivational! Chris is exceptional and as long as he is there I’ll be there!

I LOVE Self Made RVA! This gym is more than just a gym. It’s a place where you can train with like minded people. It’s not only the fitness machines that offer an experience but the people. The environment is always so welcoming and I don’t get this feel at my old gym. Here I feel like I can be me and reach my fitness goals because I know I’m at the right place. What enticed me to sign up are the many videos and photos on social media, they share a story of a community that you want to be apart of. A community where everyone pushes each other to their fullest potential. I highly recommend this gym to anyone!

Self Made Training Facility RVA is awesome! The trainers actually care, know what they’re doing, and push you without making you feel out of place. The gym is super clean, well-equipped, and has a great vibe overall. If you want real results and a supportive environment, this is the spot. Highly recommend!

Self-Made Richmond blew me away. The gym is spotless, the equipment is top-tier, and the atmosphere is exactly what you need to stay motivated. Tony who was actually in the middle of a project with the media team took time to give me the tour and he was phenomenal — knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about helping people find the right fit. I also had a great experience with the owner, Edgar, who keeps everything running smoothly and creates such a professional, welcoming environment. Baby Gesus, one of the trainers, has incredible energy — motivating, supportive, and clearly dedicated to his clients’ success. If you’re looking for a serious training environment with real support, this is the place.

The building and overall concept are actually quite nice, which makes the rest of the experience surprisingly disappointing. Supervision and leadership are practically nonexistent, and employees on the floor are harder to find than a clean spot in the bathroom. Small children regularly run around the facility with no supervision, which seems to fit right in with the overall “do whatever you want” atmosphere. It’s also apparently acceptable for grown men to train shirtless indoors like it’s an underground fight club, while trainers display a level of professionalism that can best be described as… optional. Not to mention a recent fist fight among trainer/client. Additionally, the inappropriate trainer touching of clients is bazaar and weird…especially when paired with the loud thug music blasting from a boom box. If you’re looking for a gym with rules, cleanliness, and actual staff presence, you may want to keep searching.
