Our doors first opened in the late 1950's as "Health Club Spa" and we have been here ever since. Edward Kissell purchased the club from Herman McCloud in 1989 and the name was changed to Total Fitness. We are the oldest gym in the tidewater area, and have been home to NFL and NBA players, Olympic lifting champs, pro-wrestlers, powerlifters, bodybuilders, and even a world champion arm wrestler.

I came to total fitness from a five year run with planet fitness. I told myself when I could incline bench press 75 lbs I would graduate myself to a Total Fitness membership. I first heard about the gym from my older brother who previously trained at Total Fitness during his bodybuilding days. When I started to train here I quickly questioned why I hadn't taken my brothers advice to come here sooner. The Total Fitness staff - Sean, Ervin and Tony - have helped me make many corrections to my techniques while I have been here. I was corrected on a lot of bad form that probably would have resulted

I found Total Fitness last spring as I was doing some searching for a gym and a coach to work with me on building strength. I knew that I wanted to try my hand at Powerlifting as well as Olympic Lifting. I live in Williamsburg and there are very few options for me, so I expanded my search to Newport News and man am I so thankful that I did.

This place is built solely for the purpose of getting strong, fit and healthy. They have everything you need to build strength, including

Optional 24 hour access. It has great potential of becoming a great dungeon gym but the owner is all over the place with the vibe & is incredibly 'money hungry'. I worked out boxing lessons with another member for about 2 weeks. Sean (owner) publicly incorporates a new system (infront of the whole gym) & begins demanding money for past sessions. I moved from Newport News back to Chicago bc of military orders and for 2 months this guy has continued attempts into my account. So meh...
