20 Best Free Training Programs For Adults In Virginia Beach, VA (2022 Updated)

Shopping for massage schools in Indiana, nothing went beyond writing a check or pushing on skin and muscles. None seemed to care about the entire person on the table, to creating a healing space for their mind, body and spirit. Then halfway across the country, I learned about Cayce/Reilly School of Massage. I wanted what they offered, a peaceful beautiful place to learn healing through educated touch. I left everything behind to get it. In the original hospital building, Sandra Duggan, Juliebeth Mezzy, Linda Tingle, Renee Branch, Grace Tazwell, Jackie Lorenzo, Judy Settle, Amy Wheeler, Aradia Orcutt and Shannon Allison possessed a combined century of experience and knowledge which they generously used to make me into a skilled massage therapist. Answering my endless questions, repeating a concept a different way, supporting the important goal of self-care, teaching me to recognize the effects that mind, body and spirit have on each other are just a few of the gifts my instructors gave with open hands. I learned more about the body in nine months then in my entire life. I knew what my passion was now. I wanted to touch my clients in a way that they felt better, healed, and able to live the life they wanted. I went on to work in salons and studios and finally my own business back in Indiana. I loved my time, my friends, my experiences in Virginia Beach, I go back and visit whenever I can to feed my soul. Everyday, every client I am blessed with reminds me of the deep connections, the knowledge and the healing that I gained from Cayce/Reilly School of Massage. It was the best decision I EVER made and if I am considered fortunate, I will pass the blessings of my time at the beach to every life that touches my own. Much Love and Good Journey!Amanda Jarboe

I knew from the moment I stepped onto the campus for my admissions tour that this school was the right choice!!!! Here is just a snapshot of why I loved my time at Cayce/Reilly: 1.) It’s close to the beach!!!! Lunchtime beach sessions/walks/swims were the best! 2.) The faculty/instructors are beyond amazing and really want to help you succeed! 3.) The facility is beautiful and comfortable with lots of windows! There is a labyrinth and meditation garden on campus, too! 4.) The classes are great and prepare you very well for the real world. By the time I graduated, I felt very confident about passing my exam and being a therapist in general. 5.) Throughout the course of study, you are also on a transformational journey of self discovery and healing, and the faculty really supports you through this! You will be amazed at how much you grow through this experience. 6.) The Edgar Cayce remedies/materials are fascinating and powerful… and are extra tools that you can use for yourself and your clients! If I could give it ten stars I would!!! I could go on and on!!! It really is a truly special place!! check it out for yourself!!! <3Sarah Lucento

I've never been around such a supporting, caring, amazing group of individuals. All the faculty (instructors & otherwise) made my school experience feel more like a community than any other academic institution I've been a part of. I'd do it again in a heartbeat & can't wait to visit in the future. I highly recommend this school as I not only became a confident massage therapist but a more wholly rounded individual as well. It's more than a school, they were more than just instructors & my classmates became more than just faces. This was a true learning experience in every manner of definition & I'm grateful I got to be a part of it all.AC

It’s taken a minute to find the words to express how much we love this studio, as a family. We are ALL family at this studio! We moved here last summer 2021 from the west coast. Our daughters were unhappy and very discouraged. We started our youngest first and we seen huge improvements with her confidence and strength. Later, our oldest expressed interest. We have seen so much growth from her as well since early fall 2021. Even I take lessons. I love being in my mid 40’s rocking it out like a super mom. Although my body doesn’t agree too much with some of the techniques and skills. We pay for what we get from this studio. The lessons, the technique, the skills, the gear, friends who we consider framily(friends/now like family)…ALL the things. I’m a firm believer you pay for what you get AND we get all things needed to be a future black belt. The staff is amazing! Master Kim is phenomenal with each child he comes in contact with. Mrs Sherry is the sweetest secret ninja. Her power and knowledge simply amazes me. Mrs Candace has always welcomed me with open arms. Whenever I have a billing question, class scheduling, you name…she has been very helpful and knowledgeable with her office manager skills. It takes great talent to do what she does, day in and day out. Thank you ALL for being YOU and setting my family up for success as black belts!Rebecca Wright

We came to Master Kim’s Hapkido studio in search of an activity to help our then six year old autistic son also diagnosed with ADHD and sensory processing disorder become more focused, disciplined, and respectful. Until Hapkido there was very little that held our son’s attention. Master Kim immediately made an impression on our son and he was hooked. Not only was our son interested in participating and learning the art of Hapkido but our two daughters (ages 7 and 9), who were spectators and watching their brother’s introductory session, begged to also take lessons. Having our children take Hapkido from Master Kim and his team has been one of the best decisions we have made. Not only has Master Kim and his amazing team helped our son make remarkable changes in a short period of time (less than a year), but our oldest daughter, who has struggled with anxiety is growing increasingly more confident and happier. Master Kim’s program extends beyond the sport and the four walls of his studio. He encourages and motivates his students to take every opportunity to learn, volunteer, help at home / school, and be kind and respectful. We are grateful to Master Kim, Candice, and Sherry and recommend anyone interested in learning Hapkido that they take a lesson with Master Kim!Charlene Reilly

My family has been attending Kim’s Hapkido since November 2021 and it was the best decision we have ever made for our family. We look forward to Master Kim’s classes every week! Their staff is like family and care about their students as well as their student’s family. We are always anticipating learning more and being continually challenged. My husband and I have grown closer while attending classes together, it has really help us bond and sometimes feels like a date night. Plus if you enjoy practicing self defense your spouse is the perfect person to practice with. Hehe. On a serious note it has been extremely beneficial to our children. While they already know their manners Master Kim integrates respect and integrity into his lessons. The homework he provides them rewards their efforts in stripes for their belts and/or medals at belt graduations. Along with patches and rewards for doing well in school. It is a great atmosphere as well for children who have special needs physically or mentally, as I have a son who is on the autism spectrum who is currently thriving in Master Kim’s class. Overall Master’s Kim’s classes aren’t about what moves you can learn but the lessons you can learn to help better your life physically and mentally.Jennifer Werkley

I tried a couple places and then I found this place and it just clicked. Jacob and Sarah were especially welcoming and answered a littany of questions, and even remembered me when I called back to reschedule. I walked in day one and they were all there waiting to give me a tour. Dont believe me? Go to their website and take their virtual tour. They even have a polished and informative app with a multitude of lessons, and the website itself is a cut above the rest. Their instructors are all top notch and are very attentive to any special needs and will spend the extra time to work with you on your form. You won't find a more professionally ran or welcoming place to train than impact. If you are looking for a good place to train martial arts, look no further, THIS IS YOUR PLACE. Come get a tour and do the 3 class trial – you won't be disappointed.Jesse Schenemann

When searching for place to start my martial arts journey walking into impact just gave me a warm feeling. Impact Martial arts is family oriented, you're not just a student you are part of a tribe. I study to arts here and from the beginning to now I can say the best are here. The detail they put into training to the welcoming atmosphere. Even in a full class they make sure to get to every student that needs help and able to give you the personal attention you need. There are no cliques like other schools. The coaches to other students are all welcoming. They offer a variety of arts and all the coachs are there to help you meet your own personal goals. From staying in shape to competing. I can't see myself anywhere other than Impact Martial Arts. They are the best here in Virginia to train at.Isiah Harrington

The first thing I noticed when I walked into this facility is how clean it is. Most gyms are cluttered, dingy and smelly. This one is neat, well lit and inviting. Then you meet the owners and staff. They are caring and are genuinely interested in your story therefore they are interested in your success. This is a family run business, therefore, as a member of the gym, you have a direct line to the the solutions you may want. Corporate gyms would need a manager to get in touch with headquarters to be able to do anything. This is only one gym but boy is it mighty! Mighty in discipline and community. You get trained in so many more ways than just martial arts and physical fitness. I can not recommend this place and it's staff enough!A A

Impressed with the customer service and the level of professionalism to say the least. I simply went here to make sure I bought my daughter the correct size bat. The owner let her hit off a tee, threw her a couple balls, then let her take some swings to test out different sizes. Additionally, he got the opinion from one of his softball instructors in regard to which size bat my daughter should use. To wrap it up, my daughter is swinging the perfect size bat for her. Thank you DBAT for being exceptional at your job! Craig, Lindsey, Pat you nailed it!Josh Liebeck

Extremely helpful. First time customer, gave a great tour of the place. Showed us how everything worked. Allowed us to test out different bats, helped my kids with sizing a bat, and allowed him to do practice swings with different bats before purchasing one. Highly recommend this place. Definitely going to be coming back. Thanks again for the great customer service.jeffrey Onion

Unbelievably amazed with how professional and well ran this establishment is. I’m a high school coach from New York, and my guys needed a place to swing. We were welcomed with open arms and accommodated beyond words. The staff is great, friendly, and works hard to make your stay enjoyable. I would give it 10 stars if I could. Top notch facility!!Sean Burke

Chris is one of the best fitness trainers in the Virginia Beach area! He is conscientious, highly motivated and hard working. It would be difficult to find another trainer that truly LIVES and LOVES his profession as much as Chris He tailors workouts to match each clients fitness goals and/or what he sees a client may need. Never boring and his sense of humor will keep you smiling! (in addition to his occasion dance moves) His endless knowledge of fitness and nutrition assists you in getting the results you want. Chris is a true reflection of the fitness profession, a deeply devoted family man and completely committed to his clients! If you can put in the time, Chris can help meet and/or exceed your goals.Paula Shiflett

Chris and his team of trainers are extremely professional and exceptionally competent. My husband and I never considered going to a trainer until we walked past Fully Alive and saw the dedication that the trainers put into their work. We work with Jenna twice a week and Chris once a week. Both are worth the fee they charge and then some. They have been flexible about adapting our schedule so that we could meet with them 3 times a week and even did FaceTime appointments when we were unable to go into the space in person. We are so happy that we started this journey with them and have already seen results in just a matter of months! 10/10 would recommend for anyone looking to start living a healthier life.M L

The entire team at Fully Alive is a joy to be around. Chris has put together an awesome gym and terrific staff. You really do feel like family every time you come in to train. I've been working with Mitch for a little over a year now and I can't say enough nice things about the experience I've had with him. Mitch has continually provided me with challenges to further my fitness journey, all while giving me the much-needed motivation I had been lacking when I trained on my own. He even follows up with me regularly outside of the gym to make sure I'm doing well. Couldn't ask for a better trainer! -MattProfessional Flooring

I’ve been taking classes at ITDojo throughout my 12 year professional IT career. Highlighting a few, I’ve taken CISSP, Routing and Switching, Cyber First Responder and also customized tutoring sessions. ITDojo courses are hands on, providing students with practical experiences that translate into the real world. ITDojo instructors teach course material in a way that is easy to understand and the instructors routinely offer to help students as needed beyond the core class hours. I’m always impressed with the quality of the course material and the knowledge level of the instructors. If you’re looking to improve your IT skill set I absolutely recommend enrolling at ITDojo.Jason Meeker

IT Dojo is an excellent training resource. My coworkers and I have used them for several years and have really benefited from the instruction. Colin is an excellent instructor, engaging you and able to provide real world knowledge, based on experience. He's not just teaching as an academic, but rather as a true practitioner. Nick is excellent with setting up classes and very responsive to any needs. A very professional operation. They aren't trying to just cram knowledge in for an exam, but really want you to learn the material. I highly recommend.Justin U.

Although I’ve retired from cyber security, the story I like to tell is that once upon a time I wanted to be a Microsoft wizard. I ran into Collin while he was working on a networking device and he answered a few questions on what he was doing I liked so much that I enrolled into classes then got certified in areas that was needed. From Network+ to CCNA then ultimately CISSP. The training led to positions in Information Assurance and VMware Architecture. It was always a great training experience there. Thanks guys for showing the way!Ervin Quintin

I had the pleasure of meeting Dory a few years ago when she was referred to me to help introduce a second dog to my home. It was such a great experience that I searched for her again just recently to assist me with a new rescue beagle who is suffering from separation anxiety and isolation distress. Her wealth of knowledge and experience has been extremely helpful. She leaves you with great information and a better understating on how to work best with you animal to order to gain your desired results to make it a happy transition for everyone. Dory is my go-to “doggie whisperer!”Amy Rickard

Dory has assisted my wife and I with our border collie over the past 4 months. Her passion for training dogs is off the charts! The classes including both obedience and Rally have been fantastic. The dog enjoys the challenges of the Rally Classes and we enjoy the improvement in her behavior resulting from the obedience classes. The classes are not over crowded and the majority of the class is spent hands on with your dog. I would highly recommend COT to anyone looking for professional dog training. Your dog will love it as well.Patrick Bowler

We first trained with Dory twelve years ago and didn't consider going anywhere else when two new puppies joined our family over the past year. Dory is experienced, compassionate, funny and firm. She cares deeply about her clients and is committed to training the trainer as much or more so than the dogs. She offers a multitude of classes at a number of levels, as well as individualized and in-home training. There's not much Dory hasn't seen or can't deal with, and we'll never go to anyone else. Highly recommended.SJ Austin

In town visiting! So both my boyfriend and I participate in powerbuilding and originally based in Cincinnati. We needed a nice gym to continue our schedule while out of town. Found this gym on google maps and decided I should help others out too! We pulled in and the owner actually fully opened the door and greeted us in which was probably the best introduction I’ve had to any place I’ve ever been to LOL He gave us a very nice run down of the gym which was awesome. Literally the cleanest gym I’ve ever been to. It smells amazing? Which I’ve never thought I’d be able to say. The bathrooms are superb. Never seen a gym owner be so thoughtful to their patrons. Included tampons, hair ties, etc in the bathroom (even poopurri for those pre – workout induced…) The equipment is the most intuitive that I’ve ever experienced. Every part that you wished was adjustable is adjustable in three different ways here Really nice platforms for deadlifting, even included the chalk bowl and super nice bar clips. Just a very nice gym all around. I loved it. Eric, the owner, is also a very down to earth dude. We have so much love and support to him and this gym!Paige Weitz

I was vacationing in Virginia Beach this past week, and was in dire need of a good gym. I called a few and none of them answered. I figured I was out of luck. But then I found Eric’s gym and he picked up the phone right away. As I pulled in the parking lot, he even came outside to greet me. Eric truly made me feel right at home, with his kindness and hospitality. We became friends instantly. This gym is fully loaded with all of the best pieces of Arsenal Strength Equipment that are available. When I saw it all I thought I died and went straight to heaven. His gym is very clean, well kept and has any machine or barbell that you’d be looking for. I look forward to Eric’s success, he honestly deserves it. He worked very hard to establish this gym and it’s worth noting to respect and appreciate it. When I am back in Virginia Beach I know exactly where I’m going, and that will be Awaken inside, The Gym.Thomas Bryson

I really do love this gym! I’m kind of new to fitness so I had lots of questions and the owner, Eric, has always answered them happily and been compassionate and so patient! He’s always happy and confident and it physically transfers to you! He’s a great coach and trainer and very knowledgeable! All the members of the gym are super friendly and supportive no matter where they are in the journey. It’s super clean, the bathroom has feminine products, the music is fire. It’s a really great place to transform yourself inside and out! And they have a body scanner to show you your progress even if you don’t see it on the scale which is a great motivator. 10 stars ⭐️ ✨💪🏽Elise Henderson

Very manipulative. Was told personal training was included in the premium package. After signing up for the membership, they informed me the service was a separate cost from the membership. Once I realized that information, they never informed me I had 3 days to cancel my membership if I wasn't satisfied. Now I am stuck paying for a gym with no real incentives. They act like they care about their customers, but they are manipulative leeches who put on a great act. Thanks ladies. Update: In response to the owner, YES this in fact the correct gym. During the introduction to the membership, the 2 ladies (one who was a real fast talker) stated with the premium package for $29 a month, personal training was included in with the services. She did not distinguish the "personal training" was only to meet with one of the staff ONCE A MONTH to discuss goals. She did NOT clarify the real personal training would be an additional/separate cost from the premium package. It was presented to me the premium package included one on one training with meal plan was as an incentive along with the massage chair and bringing a guest. Once everything was signed, she then clarified the personal training was an additional cost which was around $340 a month. I was very disappointed and confused. It was a manipulative sales tactic. After seeing my disappointment, she NEVER mentioned that I had up to 3 days to cancel if I was not satisfied with the service. So YES, it was in fact the correct location and establishment. Following up directly with the site and staff would be useless, because either way I am stuck in this binding contract with false promises and empty services.M. Mc

Where do I even begin? I am a gym girl so I am always on the lookout for a gym that will accommodate my every need. My biggest need has always been a gym that stays open 24 hours. My second need is feeling safe. The third is having all the equipment I need to hit my goals. This gym gave me all of that. The owners and the members here are always looking out for each other which creates a dope environment. This has also has the absolute BEST owners you will EVER meet. I wish I still lived in VB so I could keep going to this gym. The owners genuinely care about each of their members. You will see them interacting and hyping their members up because they are that passionate about what they do. I always left getting a solid workout and having a solid conversation with Lex or Hayley. They offer more than a gym… they offer a space for people to let go of their day so they can build a better version of themselves. I’ve had many gym memberships over the years because of how often I have had to move, but this one remains my favorite because of the owners. Not to mention that it is so damn clean, the dumbbell rack is ALWAYS in order, and equipment and accessories are always in place. So don’t think twice about signing up here. It’s worth every single penny! I could say more, but I think what I’ve said sums it up pretty well. Lex and Hay don’t disappoint!Loveleen Kaler

I started working out at Workout Anytime in Dec of 2021. This team of Ladies has made this gym feel like home. They are always on top of everything going on around them and manage to give the attentiveness to individuals as if they were family. I’ve never seen anything like it. Lex Burrell and Hayley Whitley always go above and beyond with their clients and never have I felt more comfortable and confident in my fitness journey. I recommend this gym 1000%.Kimberly Gray

Ever since I first redeemed by Groupon a year ago, Torch has become my home away from home. Words cannot express how thankful I am to have made my way to Torch. Hot yoga at Torch is an experience in and of itself; challenging the mind, body, and spirit–leaving you feeling rejuvenated and alive. It is also home to a community filled with individuals that inspire and uplift me everyday. It is a welcoming community to beginners and advanced practitioners alike–there is a wide array of classes and instructors wherever you are in your yoga practice. At the new studio, there is a vegetable garden, indoor and outdoor shower, reading area, and outdoor deck. Torch is always looking for new ways to improve the experience at the studio–even with LED lights and Fuji mat flooring! Personally after a separate and unrelated back injury, Jess worked with me on my membership questions as I had a three month commitment. When I came back, hot yoga did wonders to help me regain strength and rehabilitate my back. I am amazed at the changes I have found in my strength, flexibility, and mindset since starting hot yoga at Torch and HIGHLY recommend it to anyone thinking of giving it a shot! <3Patricia Kingkeo

Torch Yoga is amazing and I recommend it to anyone. As a beginner I’ve found it to be a life changing experience, without exaggeration. After a few months of going a few times a week, I’ve already felt a lot of progress in flexibility, strength, and mindfulness. It’s also helped me in other aspects of life like weightlifting, tennis, and positive thinking. Hope to be doing this for a long time. Huge fan of all the instructors especially Lotta, Jess, Nicole, SibilleNazar Aljassar

Joining Torch has been the highlight of me moving to the area this far. Finding a yoga studio was one of my top priorities and from my first Class I was hooked. Each class is signature and always offers variety and authenticity as well as options for all levels. All the instructors are welcoming and supportive and make all participants feel welcome! I’m so blessed to have found Torch and have such a great place to grow my practice! 💛Kelly Bly

I absolutely love this facility & staff the same. I have been to many different gyms, and top-notch to say the least regarding this AF location. I normally do not leave reviews for individuals nor businesses, but I have been overly impressed by their operations as well as involvement in the community. Want to send out an epic shout out to all of the hard work & great success.. Well deserved!! Thank you for a great year. And, want to send a Happy Holidays+Happy New Year for 2020.. Only hope you continue this beast mode! Cheers, MikeMichael Vukovcan

I have enjoyed my membership very much. I have been to a few gyms over the years and this is the best. Cheryl keeps the gym very clean and Kay make sure the equipment is always kept in good condition. The staff is very friendly and is always makes one feel at home. The idea that you can work out any time you feel is helpful when you have a busy schedule. Thanks Anytime Fitness for motivating me to stay in shape!Linda Smith

It's family here, all of the staff and owner are amazing. They are the reason I became comfortable and consistent at the gym. It is never too crowded and the equipment is always in great condition and fixed quickly when something breaks. I have the ability to go to other anytime fitness gyms because of my membership but no other gym, in my opinion, compares to this one.Nicole Smolka

I have been a member of Pure Barre Virginia Beach for just shy of 3 months now. It came recommended to me by my mom who is a member at a studio in another state so I thought I would give it a try a try! Since my first class, a love has flourished! Pure Barre has become engrained into my lifestyle and something I look forward to each and every day. It may not look like a lot from a distance, but Pure Barre is much more challenging than you'd think! It only makes sense why one of our phrases is "embrace the shake" because, BOY, will you shake! The classes and movements are constantly changing (you wont get bored!) and there are always modification options offered, making it enjoyable for all ages and body types! The staff at the Barre are empowering, friendly and are truly there because they feel passionately about what they are teaching. And I guarantee, soon enough, you will too! Stephanie, Madison, Michaela and Kensey are my favorite teachers (although they are all incredible), so be sure to check out their classes when you join! Don't put it off any longer- I promise, you will LOVE IT! & a big thank you Pure Barre for being the best studio in town and my favorite home away from home. Love you guys.Josie Rumsey

I have been going to Pure Barre Virginia Beach for five years, since they opened. I can say that I loved it from the every first day. I have always worked out, mostly just with machines and free weights, but Pure Barre has totally changed my body, as in, it has become very toned and I even have muscle definition in my arms. All the instructors are incredible and patient and will take the time after class to explain or answer any questions you may have. Pure Barre is almost like its owe little community of dedicated women who are there to better themselves, cheer others on and even feel their pain. I have made so many new friends since starting Pure Barre. Would definitely recommend anyone trying a class. The only thing you would regret is not trying it sooner!debora burd

I have been going to both the Norfolk and Virginia Beach location for almost two years and I absolutely love the studio! The workout is really great for sculpting your body, as well as shedding a few pounds. I have never gotten bored with the routines since they are constantly changing and each teacher has their own style. The teachers are very nice, helpful and always encourage you to push within your limits! They are always giving you helpful corrections and encouragement during class too. The facility is convenient and clean. They also sell workout merchandise, so if you forget no worries they got you covered! Love this place it is the best workout I have ever had.Danielle Brown

This is a grate company to go through for training and/or schooling. But the parts that make it a great experience and comfortable driving lessons is three great reasons. 1. They have a friendly dog to greet you. 2. Their representatives/secretaries are knowledgeable on their jobs and do it well too. As well as understanding and communicated well with you on scheduling. Plus they have hidden jems on their pricing on some days. 3. They have a great instructor who goes by the name of B.J who is a amazing teacher, and will help to explain your weakness on your driving an how to correct what is going on with your actions. Even if you are nervous and shaky he will pick up on your body language and to get you comfortable behind the wheel to the point where you can start driving better away from your bad habits. Plus he's great company he a people person. In short -Dog good. -reps/secretaries great. -B.J is the one you want to be your instructor. He makes it work.Christopher Randall

I want to thank Affordable driving school team for a wonderful experience I had with them. They made sure I felt safe and guided me through the whole process with patience and understanding. My teacher BJ is a great human and a reliable teacher. He helped me to get more comfortable behind the wheel and provided with many helpful info and tips on driving. Professional and honest, BJ helped me to grow more confidence on the roads as driving to me had felt intimidating. I recommend this school. The team will take care of you all the way through. Be safe everyone and drive safely ☝🏽🙏🏽Alina Martin

Having completed my last lesson today, I just wanted to say how much Affordable Driving School's BJ really helped refine my driving skills to a more comfortable level. He has exactly the qualities you would hope for in an instructor teaching driving: friendly, patient, item-focused, with pleasant conversation and useful tips during all rides. All these served to make me, the student, feel at ease all while tackling specific areas of concern. Largest takeaway for me was the parking! Huge improvement. Thanks, BJ!Andrew Merklin

Been a member here for over 5 years. I drove by this place everyday to go to work for a year and decided to schedule a session online. I remember the first time walking into the place and seeing everyone made me really want to join the place. I also heard many positive stories of the owner from the people I worked with and felt for someone who worked so hard I really wanted to invest my time into the place. Overall it’s a great place and I highly recommend it. The coaches are great and over the years I seen many improvements to the place. I also think you’d enjoy the community and seeing yourself and others improve.Daniel Allen

Crossfit Rife is the best gym I've ever been to. The members are of all ages and fitness levels, and it is not intimidating whatsoever. The community is super welcoming, and it's truly a judgment-free, friendly environment. The coaches are skilled instructors who train coaches around the country. For the classes, they break down each exercise step-by-step, help you scale to YOUR capability without pressure. But they really push you to do the best you can do. For those looking to get into CrossFit or for those already experienced, Rife is the place to be.Kristen Tischler

I've traveled around the country and dropped into many boxes, and my time spent at Crossfit Rife can't be beaten. The coaches are friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. They take time with each athlete and know how to balance the push to do more and reining you in to prevent injury. The programming is well focused and doesn't cram too much into an hour. The facility and equipment are well maintained and up to date. Long story short, if you're just dropping in for the day or week or looking for something more long-term, you will NOT be disappointed.Adam Swansen

I have been a part of this gym, for several years! The owners, Tom and Beth, as well as the trainers and physical therapists all treat you like family. You're welcomed by first name, and you have a 24 hour gym that is kept exceptionally clean and safely run. All classes are also included in your monthly membership! If you are looking for a massage therapist, they even have one on staff! One on one personal training, and small group personal training is all available, if you're looking for a more intense approach. I have never felt more comfortable in a gym. It's because of the comfort, welcoming staff, and other wonderful clientele, that I have been able to focus on fitness, without the worries of massive gyms where you're just one of 100 people in a class, or wondering how to use equipment with no one around to help. I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about my gym! Stop by and meet the owners, the trainers, and get a feel for the atmosphere, you'll love it!!!Christina A

Absolutely love everything about this gym. Clean, lots of options, and super friendly people. I found the gym when I was tired of the same routine and needed a boost to my confidence. While all the classes and trainers are awesome, super friendly and motivating, Tracy Stolle has been simply put, the best. I have been working with her for almost two years now and she has helped me achieve goals I never knew I had or wanted to achieve, my goal at first was to simply get in shape – after working with Tracy I am now reaching for goals of completing 1/2 marathons. Her ability to challenge and motivate you, while also teaching you the appropriate way to complete the exercises is amazing. This gym really feels like a family supporting you, and for me it all started with Tracy’s excitement around training me and helping me achieve my goals. I never thought I would say this in my life, but I love my gym!!David Riehle

I love the warm and inviting atmosphere as well as the spirited owners and trainers who make me feel very comfortable. They motivate me to keep going, especially at times when it would be easy to just skip a day or a week. More importantly, I feel so much healthier than I did last year when I was worried about diabetes, which runs heavily in my family. Fitness 24-7 helps me stay healthy and that is key!DeeDee Becker

We have completed five classes now and it has definitely been helpful. We have learned new approaches and ways to train our puppy we hadn’t thought about. The trainers have all been great and so friendly. They know him by name when he comes in already. Now that we have progressed to level two they are offering more advice for making things more challenging which is great. Our puppy quickly learned how to “game” the system for more treats so offering advice to shake things up for our dog has been helpful. You also should bring a partner with you to class with your dog as clicking, rewarding and holding your dogs leash all at the same time is challenging with just one person. I do wish they enforced the “be on time” rule though. We had one class when two dogs showed up late at separate times and the rest of us basically sat and waited twice while they brought the others up to speed. It’s great that they are flexible but it was late enough that it became a detriment to the class that day. I wish the online schedule was able to tell you who the trainer for the class will be. There is one trainer in particular that is a bit gruff and always seems to be chewing pet owners out. She makes you feel a bit like a child and she is your teacher setting you straight. Her methods in class are also inconsistent with other trainers at the facility which makes things confusing. She will likely be the reason we don’t renew another package for more classes. We have had her several times and I’m just not fond of her and her approach. All of our other trainers have been fabulous though and if I knew she would not be our trainer I would like continue classes that this individual was not leading.Jill Haught

My husband & I adopted an Australian Shepard and she is now almost 7 months. We started our training journey with a referral from a friend. We stayed with that trainer for two sets of Puppy training classes. We loved the results but wanted more systematic training. We did a search on Internet and found the Zoom Room! We wholeheartedly agree that these trainers are outstanding!! We just finished our 6th class and can not believe the positive gains our pup has made! 😊 We plan on continuing our training with Zoom Room and even try the Agility Training and Urban Herders as our pup progresses and grows.Linda Miller-Dunleavy

I've been taking my puppy to Zoom Room for about 2 months now and he LOVES it. I like how every class it's something different and they expose the puppies to everything. They have a wide variety of treats and toys. The products are more on the pricey side but its a quality LOCAL business 🙂 Even if you don't have a puppy to train its a great place for dogs of all ages. They have play groups for socializing, obedience and agility classes. The employees are all very welcoming and friendly.Annika Avillanoza

If you are trying to help you children grow mentally and physically then this is the place for you and your family. Master Geoff Cielo and his Black belt team of instructors and students are the best. Always there to help you and your child grow. Don't just think that kids need to be a part of a Soccer ball, Football, Basketball, or Baseball to feel a part of a team. This is not an individual sport. Even one works together and support each other. I have the great opportunity to join my children on the mat and have discovered that it takes great focus. Even with my limitations I have been able to made fill comfortable by the team. The also offer Tai Chi, a great way to focus you mind and body with out high impact to your body. They offer other programs. Set your new life Goal. Give them a call and sit down to see what works for you!Christian Lewis

Master C goes out of his way to teach anyone from any Walk of Life how martial arts will greatly impact anyone's life for the better if you're willing to accept the challenge. The staff is awesome and so are the instructors alike it's a great way to get back in shape gear up for the cage or just learn self defense for yourself and your family again they specialize with kids and emphasize the importance of family and self-discipline I encourage you if you're interested in martial arts this is a place to start or to make your home!Andrew Redifer

I am so thankful to have found KTMA. Not only does my son love the training even at 5yrs old, and I love that he is learning so much as a human, but the sense of community I feel as a parent is incredible. Every student and parent who comes in the door, regardless of tenure/age/belt level, treats every other parent/student kindly as if they are their own. Every instructor genuinely cares for the students and their families and I just can’t get enough of it. Thank you to all the amazing KTMA staff and Master C for giving us a place where I can confidently say my son is valued, respected, and loved.Becca Mayberry

I have had the pleasure of attending training with Tom Antion and his team at the Internet Marketing Training Center of Virginia. This was one of the best training sessions I have ever attended. Tom and his team are excellent instructors. They teach you practical information that you can easily and immediately implement to help grow your business. Tom curriculum can be used by a person who has already started their business and by people that are considering starting a business. The techniques he and his team teach can help anyone take years off of their learning curve and have immediate success! I highly recommend taking training from Tom Antion and his team at the Internet Marketing Training Center of Virginia.Clare Dreyer

I've sought Tom for his Internet marketing expertise since early 2000's and continue to do so because of his total focus – and success – with it. He totally "practices what he preaches" and his success (and bank account) is real. Tom is ethical with his approach, will steer you in directions that are above-board and real based on what you want (or need) to do, and is patient with teaching techniques and tools, and expects you to follow-through and do the work. Internet marketing is a business development process rather than a quick-fix approach, and there is no one better and more-proven than Tom!Sylvia Henderson

Tom & his staff are incredible at teaching the hard skills from beginner to advanced that a student would need to run a successful business online. From website building, to Advertising, to social media, to sales copy, to product development… he's got you covered and still to this DAY he does all that he teaches!!! Tom's not just a teacher— he's actively doing internet marketing! I've launched successful courses & learned affiliate from marketing from tom & haven't had to get a regular JOB since 2013! If you want a business from home– look no further than this place.Warren K. Carlyle IV

I was hoping this would be a self defense training type of thing, but this place is more of a boot camp type of boxing gym. That being said the staff and members here are so nice and understanding. I felt welcomed by everyone here before the class even started. And I love how they were understanding in me not wanting to come back and do more training here. They didn't try to pressure me into continuing, and coach kam made me feel so comfortable when talking to her. Definitely a great gym and worth trying at least onceRobert Han

I have noticed such a change in my cardio, confidence, emotional state, stress level, health, strength. I love this place and honestly consider it my "sanctuary". I've seen negative reviews in here about RockBox "taking your money" and being a total scam that is so far from true!! This place is amazing and the coaches are so motivating and involved. It's so great, that I've been a part of it for over a year and have no plan on stopping.Dechelle Dodge

If you’re looking for a work out to shake up your routine, head to RockBox Fitness Virginia Beach! We took two classes and they were different every time. The instructors are extremely motivating and this was just what I needed to break out of a plateau. Definitely a great Oliver work out and I would recommend if you’re looking for something upbeat and intense!Judith Soule

Music in Motion has a cute stand alone studio and super friendly staff! Our timid newly two year old daughter quickly warmed up to her teachers (main teacher and occasional sub) and had a blast. The program for littles is fast moving to keep attention and repetitive enough to build that confidence! Ballet was thrown into developmental building and silly songs just added to the fun! As much as I hate giving only 4 stars, this review is honest. The staff is wonderful and the policies they have in place for Covid are great, BUT the execution of the policies is just not there. Only two parents wore masks, none of the teachers did and the sweet owner who popped in didn’t even wear a mask. The floor left feet solid black and the bathroom could use a deep clean as well. Experience in the class itself is a 5, but Music in Motion, from our experience, could use a stricter Covid policy that is enforced and a deep clean of the facility.Erica Lambert

I started dancing at Music In Motion in 1989 when I was 3 years old. I progressed through the pre-professional non-profit company they offer, all senior level classes and went on to earn a degree in Dance and dance professionally in Philadelphia. Now it is 2016 and the studio is still going strong with expert teachers, strong technical dancers, entertaining shows, well-balanced classes and many new offerings including tumbling, boys hip-hop, teen beginner classes, adult classes and fitness!Lauren Kelly

What a hidden gem! You feel welcomed and appreciated from the second you walk in. Music in Motion is extremely family friendly, from the children's classes to the adult classes and all of the fun events, camps, and extras in between. Their website is easy to navigate and shares all the upcoming classes, events, and updates which makes planning in these uncertain times a breeze.Jacqueline Smith
