I found Total Fitness last spring as I was doing some searching for a gym and a coach to work with me on building strength. I knew that I wanted to try my hand at Powerlifting as well as Olympic Lifting. I live in Williamsburg and there are very few options for me, so I expanded my search to Newport News and man am I so thankful that I did. Let me first say that this is not the prettiest or most flashy gym in the area, but that is not what this place is about. This place is built solely for the purpose of getting strong, fit and healthy. They have everything you need to build strength, including multiple deadlift platforms, squat racks and some huge tires outside to flip. There are also cardio machines if you prefer that kind of thing as well classes available, including HIIT which are so fun. I train with the manager Sean. He is incredibly knowledgeable and has helped this newbie tremendously. We are now preparing for my first Powerlifting competition. When you come visit, you will notice that the members as well as Sean and his team are so supportive, everyone cheers each other on no matter what level you are at in your journey. I seriously can't say enough great things about this gym. That fact that I travel 40 minutes away to be a part of this community should give you an idea that it is indeed worth checking out.
