Body Arc

I love Body Arc so much!! I have been training with Victoria there for 2.5 years. She’s an incredible trainer! The gym itself is a great space with a great variety of machines and equipment for strength training. It’s super welcoming for anyone. I had never regularly worked out or used gym equipment before starting at Body Arc, but I have always felt so comfortable there. Everyone is friendly, and you’ll see people with all different looking bodies, so no one should feel out of place! P.S. About the person who left a review accusing Victoria of being rude… I was there, and she was super polite about it. They’re just mad someone caught them trying to skip out of a $10 guest fee 🤷

Clean, filled with art and rainbows, regularly upgrading/adding new equipment, the owner is responsive to questions and requests, the best gym for those who have traditionally felt excluded or unwelcomed by other gyms.

Awesome to finally have an inclusive gym in Richmond! I have never felt super comfortable in a gym until moving to this one. This would be a great place for anyone who has ever felt uncomfortable in a traditional gym setting. I have been working with my trainer for a few months and really appreciate finding someone who helps me meet my goals and makes fitness fun.

I’ve attended a couple of body inclusive yoga sessions that Body Arc hosted in collaboration with Tiny Bones Yoga and Fatties of RVA. This was one of the first places I’ve felt completely comfortable in my own skin, as it relates to fitness spaces. I was encouraged to do what made my body feel good and provided with support and modifications without feeling guilty or shamed. The coaches here are incredible. Nate, Brit, Gabby, etc. have all answered questions for me and are vocal advocates of making fitness culture more inclusive. Thank you Body Arc for creating a space where I feel safe, welcomed, and free to exercise without the anxieties I typically feel in gyms.

I've been working out with In Flight RVA (the owner of Body Arc) for over a year now. I love her knowledgable and inclusive approach to fitness and working out and I feel stronger than ever before. Body Arc is not your average gym, and you feel that the minute you walk in the space. It has a lot of natural light, a welcoming atmosphere, and they take covid precautions seriously. It's also inspiring to lift weights surrounded by bright and colorful murals and art!! Love this space!

Body Arc is amazing! My wife has been going for almost a year at this point and asked if I wanted to train with an amazing human Named Britt and then start coming regularly via a membership. One of the best decisions I've made in a loooong time! This is an INCLUSIVE, NO JUDGEMENT, everyone HELPS everyone kind of gym. Highly recommend! Ummmm just saying I feel like you should be able to pick how many stars you want to give a business for review up to 1 gazillion....Body Arc would get all of em!

I used to HATE working out at gyms because I always felt uncomfortable and out of place. I never feel that way at Body Arq and it’s made such a world of difference both mentally and physically. The space is also visually welcoming, with bright murals and lots of natural light. I’ve been working out with Brandi of InFlight Fitness for a little over a year, and working out has gone from a chore to something I truly enjoy, and I feel stronger than ever. 10/10 can’t recommend the gym or the trainers more!
