Onelife Fitness - Newport News Gym
Reviews
I found my love for working out at this gym, and it isn't far from my home. Everyone is friendly and there is no fear about being a beginner there.
I always have fun and look forward to going. The kids love the care center. Pros: LOTS of pros! Its clean. There is a lot of equipment, lots of dumbbells, lots of Olympic weights and I can always find what I am looking for. There are more classes than I could ever try, so something for everyone. I've been going for 5 months and there are still things I can hardly wait to test out (pool, tanning, my A-game). They have a smoothie thingy, but I bring my own nutrition. Kid care staff is awesome! Cons: The music. Someone likes techno too much. Some of the equipment is worn down pretty well. SO many people won't put their weights back so I have to pull hundreds of pounds of weight off barbells, but hey, I go to the gym to lift weights so their loss is my gains. There are certain times that the gym is really crowded but sometimes its not at all. Evenings looks like a club scene. The daycare hours are HORRID. So are the weekend hours for the entire gym. Overall, its just a good workout and I am not there for the sugar coating.
I have been a member of this gym for a just over a month. I can say that the facility is very clean and kept up to meet anyones standards. The employees are very nice and willing to help with any questions you might have. If they don't know the answers they find someone who does. Mark has been really upfront and easy to talk to. The personal trainers are great. They go out of their way to help anyone even if they aren't training you at that time. I look forward to reaching my goals with the great people at onelife!
Great gym. Lots of equipment and classes offered.
Awesome facility, awesome trainers and staff. I've been a member for over a year, and never a bad experience. They have all the classes you need, and all the right people to help you meet your goals. And for those times when you DO run into any issue (e.g. as reviewed below), keep asking - but ask for someone else! The folks there are ALWAYS willing to work with you, and if all else fails, Kirk will make it right.
