After being sedentary for nearly 20 years, I was nervous about stepping back into a gym, but Apex the Gym has been a total game-changer. If you are looking for the best personal training in Richmond, this is it. The environment is not intimidating at all, which is largely thanks to Victor and Daniel—they are fantastic at working with people of all ages and fitness levels. I started with the intro package, where Victor built a personalized program specifically for me. I’ve since moved into semi-private training with both Victor and Daniel, and they still give me incredible individual attention. They always make sure my form is proper and that the program stays effective for my goals. I can't recommend them enough!

Great gym for personal training in Richmond! Very affordable and accessible even for those with no experience going to the gym or using weights. Victor is an amazing and patient trainer! The semi-private groups are great as you get your own program to follow and go at your own pace. The trainer will adjust your program as needed to make sure there is progress. Highly recommend!

Updating my review: I've been training at Apex for many years now, Victor and his team are excellent at what they do. If you want personal training in Richmond, or if you want to learn how to Olympic weightlift or simply just want to get stronger - they will work with you to make your goals happen.

I’m so glad to have found Victor and his team at Apex! After moving around different places looking for Olympic weightlifting training, finding Apex felt like a huge relief. Top notch yet accessible and friendly approach to training, clean equipments and spacious facility, and just an overall supportive environment. They were also so accommodating and knowledgeable during my time recuperating from traps injury!

After almost 20 years of being fairly inactive, I finally had enough of my random aches and pains and decided to find a personal trainer. I have been seeing Jill at Apex for just over a year now, and I can not say enough good about this place!! I feel comfortable there, which is the most important thing. Everyone is friendly, and there is no feeling of dread when I am headed to work out. My back used to 'go out' every 4-6 weeks the couple of years before I joined Apex. I had tried other things but eventually realized I needed to make physical changes to my body. Jill has been incredible to work with. She is patient but pushes me, and she understands what my body needs. Sometimes we are focusing more on my immediate issues in my hip or back, and then other times working towards strength training. I am even considering entering a weightlifting competition, which is something I never would have imagined saying!!! I lifted 20 kilos the other day, when just a year ago I would worry about carrying a jug of milk from the car to the house. I cannot recommend Apex enough!!!!
