Coastal Strength & Fitness

I turned 50 last year and had not been to a gym in 4 years. After watching a few testimonials, I was in.
I may only be on my 4th session of my 30 day trial, but I bought my membership today. Why? Because the coaches were aware of my back issues and were able to adjust any exercise that hurt. Being new, They make sure my form and weight was good and make sure I don’y push myself too hard too quick.
All of the members are encouraging, of all fitness levels and ages.
Just go and get your 30 day trial. You won’t regret it. In 90 days you will wonder what took you so long.

I am thrilled to find this gym. It has everything to get and stay in shape. Well designed workouts, times to meet my busy schedule, and a coach providing group instruction and watching form as the class goes on. The others in the group are very supportive. There are many long term members. The Facebook group and nutritional reminders are also a great supportive bonus.

I love absolutely everything about this gym! The coaches are great, and they work with you at the level that is most comfortable for you. They will also help you find different ways to move if certain joints stiffness or injuries are present. Bring an entrepreneur, the flexibility of being able to choose which class works for my schedule on a daily basis, is absolutely key! I love seeing people of all ages working on improving their overall health and wellness. I met a lady who was in her 70s and she impressed me with her strength! This type of environment is exactly what I needed in order to get my momentum going in the gym again! I show up. I put in the work. I leave feeling amazing!

This gym is amazing! From the first day I felt welcomed by the coaches and the other members!! If you can’t do what they show, no problem there is a modification for that! You can be at any point in your fitness journey and be comfortable here! Can’t wait to continue my twice a week workouts!! 💪🏻

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 !!

Love how the trainers are so individualized with their instruction and always take time to talk to me. It has helped motivate me to move forward with my workout experience. My husband and daughter love to join me when they can.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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!

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 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!!❤

Before I joined Coastal I was walking the Noland Trail and doing Pilates and Yoga 3-4 times a week. But I was losing muscle mass. Within the first month of working out at Coastal I can now get out of my car without pain (left leg stronger) and my next goal is to be able to pick up my 6 year old disabled grandson, who doesn’t walk, without hurting my back. The coaches have been so helpful and supportive!

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.

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!

Coastal Strength & Fitness does all the research & planning for you! All you literally have to do is show up! Your workouts are created for you! Plus, you get the knowledge & support from the coaches during your workout! CSF is NOT CrossFit! CSF will challenge you to build endurance and strength at your own skill level. I have been a member for 6.5 years and absolutely love every aspect of this gym…the trainers, nutrition advice, workouts, the other members & the facility!

I took a leap after seeing a Facebook ad for the gym. I met with Will to learn more and had my name on a paper before I left. My first class was the following Monday. I felt awkward, everyone knew everyone, but I'm used to being the new kid in town. Everyone was so friendly that it was startling. Once class started, it was all business.

Nearly three months later, I'm still going religiously first thing in the morning, 3-5 days a week. I'm an early riser but hate leaving the house early. The classes, however, don't make me feel like it's a chore to get out there. I actually find myself looking forward to it. The classes are interesting and challenging, and I love the 6 week concentrations. Ben and Julia are fantastic! I've yet to take a class with the other coaches as they lead the afternoon classes.

I like that the coaches are there to help, give suggestions, alternatives, and correction when needed but you don't feel like you're under direct scrutiny as you would be with a personal trainer. They push you but won't break you. They're approachable so you don't feel weird about asking questions or talking with them about concerns.

Communication from them is awesome with tips, tricks, why we do what we do, best practices, celebrations, and more.

It's not Planet Fitness prices but, let's be honest, you get what you pay for.

10/10 recommend.
