Fit Body Forever is a class specifically designed for those over the age of 55. Starting out after many years of not exercising was daunting, but the coaches at Fit Body made it a fabulous experience. Not only is one coach on the microphone guiding you along with every exercise, but there’s also a coach walking the floor, so you feel like you have your own personal trainer throughout. Excellent camaraderie during the sessions, as we all cheer each other on and acknowledge small accomplishments. Cannot say enough about this class and only wish I could have stayed, but the cost was becoming prohibitive for me. Having said that, if you can join the FBF class, it’s undoubtedly the best place in the area to get fit, have fun, make friends, and feel encouraged by the staff there – they are superb.
Fit body boot camp has provided a safe and encouraging place to work out where you truly feel welcomed. The staff is great at working with multiple levels and even through modifications due to surgery/injury. They are always positive, energetic and real at the same time. Their nutrition program has been fantastic and helps reset a healthy relationship with food. I can’t say enough good things about this place- as a working mom of four the built in child watch is also a must have option and they are great with the kids. Highly recommend
Blacksburg Fit Body Boot Camp is truly an outstanding gym, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience there. From the moment you walk in, the coaches make you feel welcomed and valued. They are not only knowledgeable and friendly but also take the time to remember your name and individual needs. I especially appreciate how they provide modifications to accommodate any limitations or injuries, ensuring that I’m pushing myself safely without the risk of further injury. It’s clear that they genuinely care about each member’s well-being and fitness journey.
The energy of the coaches is incredible—they are sincerely invested in making each session a great experience. The structure of the workouts is perfect for me. Each session lasts only 30 minutes but is designed to be highly effective. I love that there is a proper warm-up and stretch beforehand while the coaches demonstrate each movement, and then a guided cool-down stretch afterward. This level of instruction makes a huge difference, especially compared to other gyms where I’ve felt lost or pressured to remember movements from class to class. Here, they go over the exercises every single session, and if you ever forget something, the coaches (or even other friendly members) are more than happy to help.
Another standout aspect of this gym is the community. The other members are incredibly supportive and encouraging, creating a welcoming and motivating environment. Whether you're new or struggling with a particular exercise, there’s always someone willing to help or call over a coach for assistance.
I also love the variety of workouts—the gym mixes things up regularly, and they send out a schedule on Sundays so you can plan ahead based on your preferences (whether you want to focus on strength, metabolic conditioning, etc.). Booking a session is simple with their app, but if you forget, you can just sign in when you arrive. There’s also plenty of space to store your belongings during your workout, and the bathrooms and overall facility are kept exceptionally clean.
The only area that could use improvement is the multiple apps used for challenges and tracking progress. Right now, there are several different platforms to navigate, including Google Forms for several entries, the Fit Body Booking App, the Fit Body Nutrition App, the InBody scale app, and members need a Facebook account and to join multiple groups for full participation. It would be much more convenient if even a few of these were streamlined into a single integrated app.
Overall, Blacksburg Fit Body Boot Camp is a fantastic gym with top-notch coaches, a supportive community, and well-structured, engaging workouts. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, effective, and welcoming fitness experience!
I love the Fit Body Boot camp 30-minute workouts! They're always different - no two days are ever the same, so I don't get bored and I don't have to think about how to vary what I do. The coaches are all positive and encouraging! And, after every class, I feel like I gave it my all without having spent hours in the gym! So happy to have found my Fit Body Family!
The coaches at Blacksburg Fit Body Boot Camp are top notch! They really care about you, and they work with you to make sure you are getting the most out of your workout. You still feel like you get that 1 on 1 coaching even though you are in a class of say 25. They are there to encourage you and push you when you need it. The members are very welcoming, encouraging, and will help give you that extra push you may need. The workouts are amazing and only 30 minutes! The workouts are designed to work your entire body and are different every day. Even though it's 30 minutes, I leave feeing like I got a great workout. I highly suggested doing the nutrition program, if you are looking to loose body fat while gaining muscle. The full time nutrition coach and program will help you understand the benefits of good nutrition and workouts. Going all in with the nutrition and workouts WILL get you the results you are looking for. I highly recommend Blacksburg Fit Body Boot Camp to anyone looking for a great full body workout with amazing coaches that will encourage you to push yourself harder and get the results you want.
Hands down the best gym in the NRV. No matter your age or fitness ability, there's a place for you here. You become part of the "fit fam", get personalized coaching when needed (there are always 2 coaches on the floor during workouts), and just feel welcomed!

Thank you, Paris! Glad you are having such a happy, positive experience. Keep going!
Fit Body is a great place to get back into the routine of working out. The hard work of deciding what to do at the gym is done for you - it's a manageable time length of only 30 minutes - and forcing me to get out of the house helps me start my day with more energy.

Thank you, Shanda! Keep up the great work. Happy to have you part of the Fit Family!
I have been a Fit body bootcamp member since October 13 2017 . I am now 54 years old and feel like being a member changed my life . I tried other gyms but I am not a self motivated type of person I need a push and I get it through my coaches and my gym buddies who I have become friends with over the years 😊💪

Bekky, you are family! Thank you for trusting us with your fitness since the early years. You are always such a bright light!
Fit Body has totally nailed the gym experience I’ve been looking for! I really like how I get a full body workout throughout the week, and it’s not the same exercises every day since we target different muscle groups. I always walk out of the gym feeling worn out but in that good way, with my muscles sore from a killer session! Their team is awesome and really makes you feel right at home. They’re super encouraging and push you to hit your personal goals.
