Not at all. We welcome all levels! Most new members will complete our Elements program before starting their monthly Group Training membership.  This series of discounted 1-on-1 sessions makes sure you're ready to get the most out of classes.

Performance RVA follows a long-term training plan with cycles that build strength and conditioning over time. It’s not random or one-size-fits-all. It’s structured, progressive, and designed to deliver measurable results.

You’ll see a mix of barbell strength work, bodyweight training, conditioning intervals, and functional movements. We balance variety with consistency, so you keep progressing without burning out.

Absolutely. Whether you play rec league sports, love the outdoors, or just want to move better day-to-day, this program builds the kind of strength and fitness that carries over to real life.

Members enjoy the freedom of a month-to-month commitment with just 30 days notice for any changes or cancellations. We want you to stay because you love it here, not because of a contract. Performance RVA is designed to be accessible and convenient for your fitness journey. And if you can’t make a reserved class, no worries—while we encourage attendance, we understand that life happens, so there’s no penalty for missing a class.

Absolutely! Performance RVA is designed to be adaptable for all fitness levels and needs, including those with injuries or physical limitations. Our experienced coaches will work with you to modify exercises and find safe, effective ways to reach your fitness goals without aggravating your injury. Before starting, let your coach know about any specific concerns so we can tailor the workout to support your recovery and progress. At RVA Performance Training, your safety and comfort come first, and we’re here to help you build strength at your own pace.

While we’re not a CrossFit affiliate anymore, RVA Performance Training was originally the first CrossFit gym in Richmond. Our roots are in functional fitness, and we’ve taken what worked, like strength training, conditioning, and community, and evolved it into something more intentional and sustainable. Performance RVA is built on structured, progressive training with long-term goals in mind, not random workouts or competition. It’s fitness for real life, not just for sport.
