I have been a Coastal Strength & Fitness member approaching 2 months now; this is my first time ever joining a fitness center. What an absolutely overall positive and personal stirring experience this has been! Never once have I been made to feel like the “out-of-shape newbie”, instead, I have been welcomed by coaches and members alike. The professional coaches demonstrate and explain what the intent of each exercise is that helps me focus on progress over perfection. The environment here is friendly, supportive, educational and energized! I’ve chosen the right community to begin my transformation.

In early 2021 I signed up for a month long trial membership at Coastal Strength & Fitness on a whim after seeing an ad while scrolling through Facebook. Looking back that was the best decision I had made for my health and fitness in over a decade. I cannot say enough good things about this gym. The coaches are knowledgeable and supportive. Members are friendly and from all fitness levels. All you have to do is show up!

Coastal Strength & Fitness has made me feel so welcomed! I was nervous to start at a gym. Didn’t know what to expect, but literally all you need to do is show up for class!! They show you how to do each exercise ( and modifications) prior to starting the sets at each class. The coach is there to help with correcting posture / positioning and challenging you to improve each week! The class goes by quick!! In and out in less than 50 mins!! Already seeing results after 1.5 months of 2-3 days per week!! They can also provide a guide for nutrition and offer 1on1 nutrition counseling service. I’m hooked! Highly recommend! Special thanks to Will, Diego and Kristen !! You all are amazing!!❤️

I really have only great things to say about this gym. You get individualized attention in a small group setting. The coaches are extremely attentive and really want to see you succeed. The whole gym is just so supportive. They also offer extra services like nutrition coaching to help you reach your goals. Coastal is great for every part of your fitness journey whether you are just starting or you are pushing yourself. It is honestly such a great experience and I have loved every single workout. If you are thinking about joining, sign up. You won't regret it!

When they say it takes a village... it's not just for kids... it's for us adults too. 😉 If you are looking for a fitness program to get healthier and stronger, Coastal Fitness in Newport News may be a good fit for you. Coastal has me looking forward to going to the gym and oh, they have a yoga class too, which is how I love to end my week! And support... they've got it. From the high fives, checking on you and helping to make sure you're doing the reps correctly to Kristen Lengel following up to see how you're doing, providing additional support and encouragement. Coach Will listened to my health concerns and goals in my strategy session. Coach Ben, helped me with an issue I have had for over 5 years with my foot that has limited my activities and showed me how to improve my strength, stability and eliminate the pain and weakeness I've experienced; my doctor didn't even do that. Coach Diego helped me prevent harm from doing a exercise incorrectly, and I felt the difference! When he saw me determined to finish a tough series of reps, he turned on an extra fan to help and oh, boy, did it! And our Yoga instructor, Jordan has helped me wrap up the week with calming, toning, and reflective session leaving me feeling amazing after a busy week. Why do I mention names? Because all make me feel included, welcomed, safe and they are part of my life journey towards a healthier and stronger me; and their contributions, expertise and support matter, and I'm so thankful. Here's to continued improved health and wellness. If you're looking for a great gym to help keep you motivated that cares, here it is at Coastal Strength and Fitness.

Joined this gym last March when our trainer stopped teaching due to an illness. Fell in love with the atmosphere, workouts, coaches, and members. Our gym peeps felt so welcome and encouraged to share with others and some have stayed and attend as many classes as we can. Highly recommend walking through the doors at Coastal:) Signed, Valerie Butcher ( under my husbands google account)

I love this place! Feeling very uncomfortable because of being overweight and under-exercised, I was a bit nervous about joining another gym. But this place is like no other. All classes with excellent coaching are a benefit that can't be beat. Support from staff and other members boosts my morale every day. And the multiple identical clauses give flexibility when it's needed. This is a unique gym experience that surpasses all others. I only wish I had found them sooner.

Honestly, 5 stars isn't enough to describe my first year at Coastal. From day one I felt welcomed and supported by the coaches and the folks in my classes. I walk in the gym and feel like I'm with family. I love the variety of strength and conditioning classes during the week, and there's an awesome yoga class on Saturday mornings. With so many classes available (as early as 4:30 a.m.🥱), it's been easy to make time to work out. The coaches are amazing; they will work with you to adapt exercises if needed. There's no pressure to compare yourself to anyone else; we all cheer each other on. I can see and feel my progress from working out here regularly this year. I'm noticeably stronger and I'm running without pain for the first time in years. If you're even the tiniest bit curious about Coastal, please come check it out. It's a game-changer!

Joined Coastal 5 weeks ago and absolutely have found the gym I’ve been looking for!! Training in a class setting but feels like one on one training with a coach. Coaches are wonderful, know you by name within days and help ensure that you are doing the exercises correctly . Each coach is awesome!! Everyone we’ve met has been great! Never been to a gym that you feel a part of the community so quickly. Joined with my daughter and we are having a great time getting fit !! Highly recommend this gym !!

Coastal Strength is like no other gym I’ve been to. Far superior! Their coaches are THE BEST! I’m 50 years old, and I’ve worked as a Fitness Trainer at 2 different gyms (in my 20’s and 30’s), and had memberships with countless others over the years. Coastal smokes ‘em all! The encouragement, guidance, support and knowledge that the coaches give you are incredibly motivating. If you have injuries or pain, they will work with you and give you alternatives movements that will avoid further injury or pain. Their nutritional coaches provide the guidance and accountability that lead to the body composition goals you’re seeking. The biggest surprise I’ve encountered (next to the impressive muscle mass I’ve gained) are the lifelong friends and “gym family” I’ve gained in the 16 months I’ve been a member. The only regret I have with Coastal is that I didn’t join them sooner!

I've been going to Coastal now for about 8 weeks .I absolutely love Coastal ! This gym has a comfortable, friendly and non competitive vibe .The coaches are great , very helpful and knowledgeable.I actually look forward to my workouts! Thank you Coastal !!!

If I could give Coastal fitness 10 stars I would! I have never joined a gym before and I was so intimidated. I love that it is a class setting so I can learn proper forms and know exactly what to do. There is so much support here from the coaches to the other members. I love it here!

I have been a member of Coastal for 4 years. It is the best place, so much more than a gym. They offer a great atmosphere, strength training and nutritional support. They have 45 min classes with enough times to please everyone. It is great!

I have been attending this gym for four months now and this is the first gym I have ever loved. I really enjoy the attitude and positivity of everyone there. The coaches all work with you to adapt each exercise to your abilities, while still working to challenge you and help you grow in your fitness journey. This is a really great place to workout especially if you need some guidance and like a small group atmosphere.

I have been a member of Coastal Strength & Fitness for a year and it has been the best decision I have ever made. If you want to build strength and confidence while seeing visual results, join Coastal. The coaches are phenomenal! They are super supportive and push all members to focus on quality over quantity and making smart progressions. They offer a variety of class schedules that are perfect for busy adults. I enjoy how they rotate strength training exercises every six weeks. All classes start with demonstrations and the coaches are available at all times if modifications are needed. Trust me, Coastal Strength & Fitness is the only gym that you need in your life! When you join, come see me. I’ll share my story on how Coastal has changed my life for the better.

I started working out at Coastal a few months ago and am so happy I joined. I am a runner so I was hesitant at first because I didn’t know how to fit classes into my already busy schedule. But the staff helped me figure that out and I am so glad. These workouts help keep me strong! They are fun and the atmosphere is very encouraging. I highly recommend Coastal to anyone- no matter where you are on your fitness journey. If you have goals- the staff will help you get there!

Coastal has been so transformative for me! I joined initially because I wanted to lose some weight and be healthier. Coastal has given me so much more than that ! I did lose weight and am much healthier , but the greatest thing is the mind shift that happens when you really start to dig into the how and why of your habits - eating, drinking and exercise. Although I have lost weight , I am more proud of the confidence and the strength I have gained!! Coastal is fantastic and welcomes people at all fitness levels happily! Highly recommend!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have been attending Coastal for the last month and it has most definitely exceeded my expectations. I was frightened to actually start for several months. Once I pulled the trigger on going, I have been attending consistently and enjoy going. The workouts are challenging but doable to complete. My physical energy has improved both within working out and overall. I feel more confident that I can make healthy lifestyle shifts, lose weight, gain muscle and strength over time. Will and Diego have been great with helping me get adjusted. I would highly recommend Coastal for anyone but especially if you are a little intimidated about attending the gym in general.

I've been going to Coastal for a little over a year now. The amount of accountability that not only the coaches hold you to, but the other members is phenomenal. The staff is so friendly and personable. The members are equally inviting, which is great if you are shy like me and generally feel uncomfortable in public. This is not your average gym! 10/10 would recommend.

I have been attending classes at Coastal Strength & Fitness since January of 2020. It's been an amazing journey thus far. The coaching and people make this a gym that I can highly recommend. The workouts are tough but achievable. The coaching is top-notch for the exercises and includes nutrition coaching. Accountability is a recurring theme. The gym itself is welcoming. Overall, there is everything you need to get in shape and lose that weight!

Joined 3 months ago, loving the experience. Everything moves at the pace that suits your best personal results. They emphasize progress, not perfection! Super supportive environment, so many tools to help you on your fitness journey.

When I started at Coastal Strenght & fitness I was very timid and shy. Ben is awesome and the others members are very welcoming and accepting, making me feel like I fit in. The classes are right sized, I don't feel neglected by the trainers. I enjoy the workouts.

The trainers are enthusiastic and knowledgeable. They take the time to describe each stretching or strengthening exercise. I receive one-to-one attention if I have a question or need clarity about an exercise. The gym is clean and organized and I feel good about myself after training.

This is the place to be for anyone who is hesitant in returning to the gym. I have been working from home since the pandemic and gained lots of weight. Along with the weight came back issues. I knew this was a place for me after my first visit. The atmosphere was very supportive from the staff and the other members. One Goal-- seeing everyone succeed! Anyone thinking about joining-- try it out. You will not be disappointed.

The Coastal community is a welcoming, encouraging, and forgiving experience. If you are looking for a place that fosters a positive way to embrace your health & fitness goals, you should check it out. With its individualized coaching in a group workout setting, Coastal Strength & Fitness is a great first step in your wellness journey!

Five Stars for Coastal Strength & Fitness! The coaches are knowledgeable and friendly. Classes are well structured and you get one on one attention in a small group setting. The exercises are varied enough to keep your interest but focused enough for you to make positive improvements. If you are looking for a group setting workout that is motivating, challenging and convenient, I strongly recommend Coastal!!

Coastal has a comfortable atmosphere. Everyone there is extremely approachable and knowledgeable. I actually work at a health club during the day but this place provides such a great service that I enjoy being a part of the Coastal Crew! I would recommend this place to anyone no matter where you are at in your fitness journey. It’s so great just to show up, get my workout done, and go on with my day. They offer plenty of different times to fit everyone’s schedule. Definitely worth checking out and giving it a try!!

Thank you Coastal Strength and Fitness for helping teach me the correct way to lifts weights and the drive to show up and enjoy my workout! I participated in the month trial and the decision was obvious to me that I needed to keep showing up and putting in the effort. I’m currently in my second month at Coastal. I love all the coaches and they provide so much encouragement. I’ve have met some really nice people so far too. I highly recommended Coastal!!!
