The trainers, facility, and equipment are top notch! The trainers are not only personable and make the workouts fun, but they are all extremely knowledgeable and creative. Their focus is on form, technique and goals - and they are with you throughout the entire workout to help with these. River North members are made up of men and women of all different ages, abilities and fitness/health goals. The trainers excel at creating individualized plans for each person based on their specific needs. Long-term health and wellness is the name of the game here, and these guys are great at getting you started on that path and helping you maintain focus along the way. I joined a year ago thinking I just wanted to have a place to do some strength training to slim down and tone up...I didnt know Id be gaining so much more than that! The small group training really lends itself to building stronger relationships with people who have similar goals as you, and everyone is there to cheer each other on and see you succeed. River North truly fosters a sense of community!

I started the program 2 weeks ago, and I already feel a difference in how I feel. The at home workouts due to quarantine have been phenomenal! The staff is extremely thorough with each stretch/workout. Highly recommended program, great positive energy especially during these tough times. 5 stars!

I strongly recommend! Staff is top notch and has the ability to alter and cater to what is needed for your personal fitness level and ability. They take great pride in motivating and helping their clients achieve their fitness goals.

Ryan, Blake and Collin are all AMAZING to work with! They are encouraging and keep me motivated to push myself. I have been with RNS for about a year and a half and could not be happier with the results! I truly enjoy working out now in a way I never imagined I would. Everyone I have met at RNS is great. It is a very positive and uplifting place to train. Definitely not your typical gym!!!

Had a great first session with River North Strength! Really enjoyed training and speaking with the owner. He seems very knowledgeable of the body and how it works with specific sports, and what it takes to reach your personal goals and get you feeling and looking the way you want. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone. It is the cleanest I have ever seen, well-organized, and presentable. The great vibes and music once you enter the door put you in the right mindset to workout! I would recommend River North Strength to anyone in the Richmond area.

Ryan is knowledgeable and draws on his experience as an athlete and personal trainer to build effective, customized plans. He cares about my success and is motivating and very easy to work with. I went to a consultation at River North because was looking to get some help to get out of my routine and comfort zone with my standard weight workouts. Ryan’s program focuses on functional exercises with proper technique, which makes all the difference. I wish I had started doing these workouts a long time ago. I was missing out. I get a full workout done in under an hour. He mixes it up week to week and makes it fun. The workouts are tough but go by quick. I still do cardio - bike and run - but my new plan is definitely getting me stronger and faster. I had never used a personal trainer so that was new but I’m glad I gave it shot. I honestly can’t recommend Ryan at River North enough. If you’re just starting out or have worked out for years and have plateaued, Ryan will help you achieve your goals.

This place is awesome.They cater to all abilities & make sure you are reaching your full potential.

I struggled mightily to get back into working out effectively after playing college baseball. I would go to the gym every day with no results. I have been going to River North for two weeks now and can already see the difference! Owner Ryan has a great attitude every session and works personally with you through each exercise. I also started River North’s nutrition, which I highly recommend. Ryan tracks meals, communicates well, and gives great food options. I can’t wait to continue progressing with River North Strength!

I have been a member at RiverNorth Strength for over a year and really enjoy it. The coaching staff brings energy and insights to help each member achieve their individual goals. The workouts are fun and intense at the same time. I highly recommend giving RiverNorth a try.

After two months I have already improved flexibility and strength especially in core & hip areas! This is great for a petite woman runner like me. Being new to weight training Ive learned to do many exercises correctly--> every movement has a purpose & no time is wasted.Thanks Coach Ryan for your attentive and encouraging workouts!

If you are looking to get back in shape, build strength, or to have a well-structured workout, then River North Strength is for you. Ryan brings phenomenal energy, effort and experience to your workout and coaches you throughout the process to make sure you achieve your fitness goals. The equipment and facility are well kept and the layout allows for great flow of your workouts. If you live in the Greater Richmond area I would highly recommend that you go see first hand what River North Strength is all about!

Very knowledgeable, friendly, enthusiastic with the workouts

Get fit!
