Women’s Workout and Fitness Center

This place is heaven sent. Clean, just enough space, showers, saunas, steam room. Even a hottub and heated indoor pool. No need to worry about feeling out of place. Everyone is nice and encourageing. I take my teenage daughter and she loves it. Go get your workout on ladies!

I used to go to this gym on Mondays and Saturdays to Mixxedfit. NO MORE. It isnt worth the rudeness I have to put up with from the ladys that work there. This place would have great potential if they didn’t treat everyone that walked in there like garbage.
Mixxedfit started here in VA but I overheard one lady, think it is the owners sister (the rudest one there– always so so snotty) say that she wishes they never picked it up. They state the first class is free but the first time I went they accused me of already taking a free class. Thanks for the warm welcome. I had to fight for 5 minutes instead of them being excited a new client came in.
This place offers daycare and the women that work there are really nice and it is ran totally separate from the gym. Sadly, although the workers there are great with kids it is one tiny room for kids of all ages.
They offer punch cards but hassle you when you try to buy one. Um, dont you want income coming in? They also have a MONTH expiration date on your punch card– so beware if you think you are actually going to be able to attend 5 classes that you paid for you only have 4 weeks. If for some reason they have a class cancellation or closed for a day you normally attend class (like if you go every Saturday) they dont care and tell you they cant help with your punch card even though they are the ones that closed.
If you want to go to a gym where you get scowled at, sighed at, and treated like crap– come here! I have NEVER once been welcomed with a smile or greeted by a friendly face. Everyone there looks miserable and unhappy.
I wanted to bring SO many friends with me to try Mixxedfit (Tykia, Alicia, and Lori are amazing!) but I was too embarrassed to bring them. Mixxedfit everywhere else in Hampton Roads has a drop in rate where you can pay $ 5 – 10 to take a class. I asked once the retort back was «this is a members only gym– we dont allow drop ins.» Ok, smart business decision– turn down easy quick money.
Note to the owners: If you were a bit kinder and did a bit more marketing (were actually nice to people on Facebook and warmly invite them to try out your gym) and then actually welcomed new people with open arms your business would thrive a lot more. Your reputation in the mixxedfit community is very poor. You are not at all welcoming to first timers. Do you not realize that coming to the gym is a huge step for some? It is a nervous experience and your negative remarks and scowls turn away many people. Hope these remarks actually hit home and you realize your business is suffering not because of location, not because of the lack or quality of classes or equipment but because of the staff. You can add more and more classes and upgrade your gym– but none of that matters when you come in and leave with people behind the counter analyzing your every move and scowling at you.

When I was a member I did enjoy the gym although it got to the point where you had to be there before a certain time on a certain day because the machines would fill up quickly. I did enjoy the classes and with so many they offered you could try a bit of everything. I don’t have children so I didn’t need the daycare option. My favorite thing are the staff. They are all passionate about what they do and really get to know and respect you. I only left after my year because I needed a gym that was open 24 hours a day but it’s a great deal for any women with children and don’t need to work out at 4 in the morning.

Located right next to a walmart market, this fitness center is a find. At first I was reluctant to go in because I know of other Women Only fitness centers and don’t think the work outs are hard enough. Well, as is true with all gyms, you get what you put in to it.
This location (not sure how many there are) offers classes every day. They keep a fairly good rotation on the most popular classes. And you there are so many to choose from that you can actually go to the gym 6 days a week. I’d say 7, but they’re closed on Sundays.
They’re really great about working with you on your budget. And honestly, I paid a few dollars more to be a part of a huge global gym but the fact is, this one is all women. So who cares what your butt looks like when you do those funny dance moves in zumba? They don’t. And you don’t have creepy men looking through the glass windows. So WIN WIN, if you ask me.
I’ve heard some pretty negative reviews about the staff and the facility. Things like they have side conversations about various things (not related to the gym). I don’t care what they talk about as long as it doesn’t get in the way of my work out. That is after all, why you’re there. Not to talk story but to sweat.
They’ve also said the equipment is out of date. BFD. they don’t have tv monitors mounted on the treadmills. Bring your ipod. The equipment is plenty up to date. All the cardio equipment is just as good as those in the big box national/​global gym facilities.
Stop making excuses! Just get your sweat on!
