At RVA Performance Training, we take pride in the fact that we don’t give in to many of the holiday gym stereotypes.

The fact is, joining …
This isn’t a particularly novel message, but it’s one I’m sure a few of you can relate to:It’s been a pretty tough year or so. And by that I mean, not just the reality of things, but how our minds have processed it. Many of us have felt job related stress and feelings of social isolation in ways and to …
Early 2014, my training was going strong. I was diving back into a competitive fitness program after 5 years of competing in Strongman. I was training hard, often. I was eating well, sleeping well, and recovering well. Then in December, our first son was born. Without a doubt, one of the best things to ever happen to me, and has …

I vividly remember first getting a Concept 2 rower. One of our initial “big” purchases before actually having a place to train, we somehow got the funds together to buy one for our apartment.

Marcus-David Peters. Breonna Taylor. Tamir Rice. Atatania Jefferson. Elijah McClain. The list is massive. George Floyd died after a …
Hey folks,It’s a long one, buckle up. As many of you have already seen, we posted the following statement to Instagram yesterday. “We can’t stand behind the actions and words of @crossfit and are pulling our affiliation. They could have used this opportunity to address racism, to show their Black community they care, and to provide leadership. Instead they’ve made …
