I’ve been meaning to write this review for a while because I’ve loved my experience with personal training and membership at The Trenches. Coming in as a new weightlifter, the trainers do an incredible job of meeting you where you’re at—while also pushing you / calling you on your BS when you need it. Beyond the training though, they’re just truly good people. They greet you by name, they check in, and they create a space where everyone feels welcome. Yes, the equipment is top tier—but the people are what keep me here. They’ve built a real community, and it shows. So thank you Juice, Zo, Justin, Zion, and Ty for kicking my butt this year. I appreciate you!
I joined this gym with my hubs in July 2024, and it has hands down been the best decision ever. I love the atmosphere, and I love that it is never overcrowded. I never have to wait for a machine or feel rushed using the equipment. Some of the equipment I haven't ever seen so I was definitely intrigued. The leg room is intimidating and empowering, all at the same time! Joining and getting a trainer has been one of the best decisions I've made for my physical health, and I don't see myself joining any other gyms. #GrowingGlutes #Gains #HealthIsWealth #Trenches
Came across this gym on instagram and after seeing all of the hype and great experiences shared by the members, I decided to join. Let’s just say you should believe the hype! This gym has exceeded my expectations. Every single trainer they have pushes you to be the best version of yourself. And the best benefit is that this gym is private and the owner does a great job with making sure only the kindest, like minded people are allowed in the atmosphere. You can go in with so many things on your mind and someone will make your day without even knowing whether it’s a trainer or another member. Definitely proud to be a part of this family.
From the moment I set foot in the Trenches Gym I knew it would be a place I could call home! As a competitor and content creator this gym provides me with everything I need and MORE! Custom equipment, a beautiful all black aesthetic (great for filming content), and fellow goal-driven members who keep me motivated to push my limits. What more can you ask for? I have tried many gyms in the RVA area and NO other gym can compare to the experience of being in the Trenches!
From the moment I stepped foot in this gym, I was welcomed with open arms. We went from being at The Chamber, to heavy in The Trenches. It’s such a family atmosphere and dope vibe. Jay aka Zo and I have been friends for years so I’m super proud of him and where he’s come from with his babies( the gym, and his fur babies). He’s a tough cookie at times, very disciplined, but one thing he’s going to do is look out for you, have your back, and make sure you’re always prepared. I went from just being there to train, to a trainer! My teams better than yours! Why am I not your trainer?
