I’m getting YouTube ads for this guy’s gym in Richmond Virginia on the east coast. Some stupid Xen app. Don’t care… if you want to advertise your gym, localize your ads and don’t waste money for out of reach customers….. I don’t usually go out of my way aus for google reviews unless it’s bad, and the fact that I’m across the country and sending a bad review, it’s bad, don’t spam my YouTube feed, and don’t partner with a company that will spam a YouTube feed across the coast…As a gymgoer and local of an out of reach area, it’s offputting.

These guys are amazing! It's like personal group workouts that actually work! The workouts are always changing and I've been going for a month and already see changes! Highly recommend

I was in town for just a few months for a project, and I learned more in that time about good lifting practice than I have in years of trying to learn by myself. No questions went unanswered, the trainers are all super knowledgeable and attentive even in the group classes. I shopped around at several gyms in the area before choosing this one and am confident I made the right choice. I wish I had a gym of this quality back home!

Well, almost 1 1/2 years later and we are still very happy with the strength training we are receiving at 181, with Andy as our personal trainer. We have accomplished so much! Our balance, strength and our endurance is tremendous! We've also lost the excess weight we wanted to, an added bonus -- strength training plus nutrition guidance if/when needed. Thanks to the entire 181 Team and our new fitness family at 181 Fitness! Sandi & Angie

181 fitness has been the best investment I've made for myself this past year. After having my twins I didn't know if I was ever going to get back to my previous fitness level. I tried popular home workout plans and bought a membership to a big box gym, but it wasn't long before I dreaded my workouts due to lack of direction and minimal progress. I can confidently say that I have exceeded any fitness expectations that I previously set for myself, all because of the trainers at 181 Fitness, who are extremely knowledgeable and truly CARE about each client. They work with all fitness levels, to make the workouts work for you, not the reverse. If something doesn't feel right, I let one of the trainers know, and without hesitation they switch it out for a different exercise. Since joining 181, I now feel like each one of my workouts is well thought out and has a purpose. Can't recommend it highly enough!

Andy (Owner) is a great trainer. He's patient with teaching you exercises you've never done. Always has a great sense of humor. Other members of the gym create a fun community. This is the best exercise I've had in a really long time. The classes force me to work out harder than I would if left on my own at the gym.

I initially joined for their 21 days skinny Jean challenge. They really do Taylor the work out to you and your goals. They give you three weeks worth of menus if you want to follow them. I did my own menu following their nutritional goals. When I first started I wasn't necessarily 100% committed but after my first boxing class, I was hooked! I would never go back to a regular gym; so I joined 181° fitness permanently. The trainers are fun, & and without being drill sergeants, they really motivate you to give 100% plus. They incorporate all exercises at all levels so you don't feel self-conscious if you are not an expert but if you've been there a while, you can work out at a higher level. My two trainers, Tony and Gabe, are top notch and I joined because of their classes. They do not skimp and give you a 50 minute work out; rather, you get the full 60 minutes of hard work, demonstrating each exercise every step of the way. I highly recommend this gym, even if you just join for one of the challenges to jumpstart your fitness goals.

181 Fitness has been key to what I am hopeful will be my last time trying to "lose weight". I have been down this road too many times on my own. I have yo-yo'd up and down with my weight over most of my adult life. I am optimistic that I am "losing" weight for the last time. For the first time in my life I have been exercising consistently for almost a year. The supportive team of trainers and clients at 181 have helped me go from a dieter to someone living a healthy lifestyle. Having always been a big person I want to set a solid example for my children on how to live a healthy lifestyle. My hope is that by helping them build a solid foundation that my children will never "go on a diet". This aligns with the philosophy at 181. The team at 181 provides the entire health/fitness package!

My husband I have been going to this gym together for six months now. Nothing has ever kept us committed to working out this long, and six months later we are both seeing results almost weekly. It's fun, always challenging, and we never come home thinking that our time was wasted. This owners are awesome, committed, encouraging, and seriously know their stuff. 181 fitness is a life changer for sure.

A friend invited me to attend a class at this gym with him. I decided to go and was very impressed. I don't think I have ever worked out as hard as I did that morning. I was sore from head to toe, but I was completely motivated to do it again. The owners are encouraging, knowledgeable, and fun. The members are also a fun group and encourage each other. Best gym I have ever attended, but be prepared to get your butt kicked.

I've been working out with these guys for years as this gym has evolved and they never fail to impress me. They offer challenges to help get you motivated, personalized service, without being too " in your face", and the work outs? They help me find muscles I never knew existed! Great gym, great owners, great membership following.

I started with 181 Fitness in January. I have lost 6 pounds and am feeling great! The more I do, the easier it gets and the better I feel =) The whole team at 181 is fun and supportive and my husband and I are enjoying meeting new people and getting in shape again. We moved to Vista a year ago in December and are trying to get to know our community and joining this gym is helping on multiple fronts. Love the personal attention and accountability to our program!
