The Gym Downtown

Do not go here. It's cheap, and the young people who work there seem cool, so you join. The equipment is old, they change and cancel classes all of the time, there’s no track, pool, hot tub, or sauna…and they charge for gym towels. Because of their crappy equipment, I made the grave mistake of purchasing personal training sessions. The manager Lacey can't make it to work on a regular basis and is super booked (with classes and other trainees) so it's very difficult to get a routine going. In three months, she same-day cancelled on me with lame excuses five times and was unavailable often because she was going out of town. She was even taking some of my training time to try and drum up business with other suckers. What a job! She can keep your money for nothing and find new people to rob all the time. $612 later, I asked to quit the gym and get whatever I could back. I had to use my remaining training money to break the contract and walk away. They still haven’t refunded me the difference. F*&k that place! PS-Nothing kills your motivation like the parking troubles downtown.

The Gym Downtown is a well-run independent, boutique gym in downtown Norfolk. I highly recommend it.

2 floors, awesome equipment, great, energizing colors, what more could you ask for?!

This 2 story fitness center is the ultimate mix of history, incredible equipment and first class service. I love working out near my office and avoiding rush hour traffic. Finally, the unique classes and one of a kind programs sets the tone for great health and fitness.

I've been working out at this establishment for a little over a year now and I can't get enough of this place! Customer service is great and the location is perfect for me! They have everything I need to stay in shape starting from Cardio to Free weights to the Personal Training programs they provide!



Thanks Gym Downtown!
