My husband and I have been working out with Roberto for almost two years. He always makes sure we get a challenging, balanced workout and has gotten us both into great shape. My husband has lost 80 pounds, and I was able to maintain working out while pregnant. I know the work I did with Roberto helped me recover from my c-section quickly and I was even back to full workouts within three months!

I have been a member of four gyms and never stuck to any of them. I also never noticed (or felt) any results when working out on my own, as I had no idea what I was doing. Then I found Onward Fitness. A year ago, I started at Onward feeling flabby, tired, and waking up each day with something hurting. Today I am in my 50’s and have never felt better physically, mentally, and I am gaining strength each week. There is a variety of trainers who fit your goals and personality, but Laura has been the perfect balance of pushing me while at the same time offering positive encouragement. Knowing I don’t

These people were amazing to work with! My trainer, Nick, was always prompt, professional, and made me work out like I didn't even know I could work out! They offer classes that are small and all the attention you get is individualized like they have all the time in the world just for you. The pricing for personal training was more than reasonable! You absolutely need to give them a try! They are very, very responsive to messages too. You will never wonder how to get in touch with anyone and with flexible hours, who can beat that?!!!

I’m one of the personal trainers at Onward and I’ve worked in a lot of gyms over the years. I love this gym over others is because there is greater opportunity for individualized training for the members because of its intimate, yet fully equipped atmosphere.. We have a fantastic team of trainers who are professional and always positive.. and… Steve the owner is a genuinely nice guy who simply cares about the mission of getting people healthier and more active. Classes are fun, challenging, and creative.. and of course our members are da bomb ;) 💪 highly suggest at least

I LOVE this place. I've been going to the AM bootcamp class for over 2 years now and have caught the occasional PM/Saturday class as I can. Every class is different and all of the trainers have different styles. Keeps it interesting - which is key at 5:45am! Great trainers, great rates, great friends, and great customer service. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could.

I love Onward Fitness's boot camp!! If you're looking for a close-knit workout group where everyone knows your name & cares how you're doing, this is it. My schedule only allowed me to attend on nights that Allison & Jordan led workouts, and they were both extremely knowledgeable, eager to work with everyone's skill level & limitations, and really good at making the workouts fun. I honestly can't think of a night I went to boot camp & didn't leave in a better mood than I came in with! I saw results I was really happy with, too. Steve is also extremely

I would like to write a positive review of my experience but, since I have contacted him and received no response, I cannot. It must be nice to have so much business that you don't have to respond to requests for services. How long does it take to pick up the phone and call someone? Even if it is to say that you can't accept new clients.

I've been taking the boot camp classes at Onward for about four months and they are so much fun - a small friendly group, challenging workouts, dedicated trainers, and never the same thing twice. The location is super convenient and there's plenty of parking! I love supporting local businesses and I'm so tired of the drudgery of big box gyms. This is so much better.

Mark and I have been working out with Steve for over 18 months and have stuck with it. Yeah, he's that good! We have both lost weight, gained strength, endurance and flexibility. Steve tailors our workouts to what we can do - this isn't one size fits all - and changes the workouts often enough that we are never bored. I highly recommend Steve as a personal trainer.

This place is absolutely wonderful. They are great to work with. Ashley is an awesome trainer and Steve offers first class service. I've gotten a lot out of working out here. It's very individualized for everyone and they go out of their way to help you keep track on your own to give you the most out of training. I've worked out with a few gyms over the years in the Richmond area and this is by far my best experience.
