I finally found my gym! I have suffered from insomnia, depression and anxiety forever and I’ve always hated doing cardio but every doctor/therapist/nutritionist I’ve ever seen said it will help me with all of those things (instead of drinking a half bottle of wine every night to decompress!) I decided to give Bridges a try because it is only five minutes from my house in Richmond and I’m so glad I did! In addition to losing weight, for the first time in many years I can sleep and no matter how tired I am going in, I always feel better coming out. The 45 or 60 minute classes go by so quickly and include cardio, strength training, resistance bands and more - even a short relaxation/yoga period at the end of the class. You get to see your results up on a screen and it makes you want to do better than you did last time. You are not at all competing with anyone except for yourself in these classes. This gym is for everyone – it’s very diverse in age, athletic abilities, etc. I have bad knees and a wrist issue but the instructors will always give me a modification if necessary. The classes are always different so you do not get bored and again you go at your own pace and do your personal best within the group. The gym is brand new, VERY clean, excellent air circulation and has blue lighting which somehow makes it less intimidating and stress free. The instructors provide Clorox wipes after each block of work; they currently require masks and keep the doors open so you feel COVID safe. I highly recommend this gym to anyone including those needed to “re-set” after losing motivation and dealing with so much during this dark time in history. It’s just nice to go to a place to make yourself feel better instead of turning on the news and getting bummed out night after night.
Great local gym! The instructors are very helpful and the classes will make you sweat.
Great place to bring your kids or even your self to train, you will not be disappointed.
