I have never been so motivated to get up at 4:30am and get ready to go to the gym before coming to Coastal. I'm so glad a took a chance on this little gym. It has been one of the best decisions ever. The Coaches are amazing and encouraging. Instructions are thorough and they are always there to help. Coastal is the BEST!

I've been a member of Coastal for about 6 years now. The support by both the coaches and other members makes this feel more like a communicate than an anonymous gym. The accountability of being there for your gym-mates and for your own self benefit have driven me to continue to be part of the family.

I absolutely love this gym! The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and always willing to help you improve—no matter your fitness level. They take the time to explain proper form, offer personalized tips, and really make sure you’re getting the most out of every workout.
The atmosphere is amazing, too. Everyone in class feels like a buddy—friendly, encouraging, and fun to train with. It’s such a positive community that makes showing up something to look forward to.
I also really appreciate that the gym offers special programs focused on women’s health and well-being. It’s refreshing to be part of a place that truly understands and supports women’s unique fitness goals.
If you’re looking for a gym that combines expert coaching, great people, and a welcoming environment, this is the one!

Joining this gym was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health and happiness. From day one, I felt welcomed and supported—not just by the amazing staff, but also by the community of members who quickly became friends.
The energy here is always positive and motivating. Whether I’m attending a class, or just hanging out after a session, I always leave feeling stronger, both physically and mentally.
What truly sets this place apart is the sense of belonging. It’s more than just a gym—it’s a place where I’ve built friendships, grown in confidence, and found genuine joy in working out.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place that uplifts your body and your spirit!

After my gym suddenly closed it's doors back in March 2025, I was on the search to find something else. I had been looking for about 3 weeks until my husband's co-worker had mentioned Coastal Strength. Sure there were options like those open gyms for cheap. I did try that option a year ago since there was one close to my work. I figured on days I could not make it to my regular gym, I would just use the alternative. There is a reason those places are cheap and I was not doing that again. In April I did a trial at Coastal to see if it was going to be a good fit. One thing I did like from the start you can go in and talk to a trainer to get information about this particular program. I also was not blasted with pressure to sign on the dotted line right then and there, nor did that happen after my first session. I had never really done "strength" focus classes before so this was going to be new from what I had done in the past. I loved that there were strength days, cardio days, and the mixture of the 2. Saturday Smackdown has become one of my favorite days. I loved that the workouts were already set up and that no matter your fitness level or age , anyone could come to the same class and get the best workout they could that day. The trainers are just excellent ..did I mention excellent! ? They demonstrate, explain and correct you to be sure you are hitting the targeted muscles. I am always asking for guidance on strength days and the trainers are always willing to advise. Other members are friendly and were nice leading the way when I was still getting used to the set up of the workouts. Over time I started to see the same faces and gain some "sweat pals". There is always room to be better, I have found so many areas that I needed more work and have gotten stronger since I began my time at Coastal. Continuing to improve and challenge myself at Coastal I feel much better at tackling the zingers that both my job and busy life throw at me. Thank you Coastal Strength you guys are awesome!

I love Coastal Strength and Fitness! Rather than an open gym, this program is built around a class format, with whole-body workouts, cardio workouts, and yoga available. Knowledgeable coaches guide the workouts and provide personalized support to each member. Modifications to workouts allow beginners and experienced weightlifters to train side by side in a friendly and non-competitive atmosphere.
I started going to Coastal eight years ago after a series of falls caused by post-menopausal muscle loss and loss of agility. I have changed my eating habits, lost weight, built muscle and endurance, increased my bone density, and improved my overall health. Even my optometrist has seen improvements in my eye health!

Love, love, love this gym! Coaches are amazing! I love how they know everyone and challenge, guide and support your progress. The coaches give you as much feedback as you are looking for! Workouts have a consistent 8 week goal to get you stronger. Then a new rotation begins. Very focused, consistent and results driven. Plus, there's a "frequent sweater" board and tons of pump ups along the way to keep you motivated!!

I’ve been a member of various gyms my entire adult life but I’ve achieved more in almost 6 months at Coastal than anywhere else. My friend and family have even noticed a difference. It’s changed my perspective on what’s possible. The trainers are top notch, very supportive and knowledgeable. I recommend this gym to anyone whose motivated to build their strength and confidence.

I joined Coastal about two months ago and could not be happier with my choice. I had seen the great results from friends that are members and had flirted with the idea for over a year before pulling the trigger. I love that the coaches take the time to explain the correct form and purpose of each exercise as well as push you or correct you as needed. There's great diversity in the workouts, allowing you to pick which days, times, and focus work best for you. Everyone is so supportive and it's just got great vibes.
Definitely check them out if you're looking for a group workout that can provide the community and support you need to either get started or keep progressing toward your goals!

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!

Update: I'm now nearly 2 years in, go to 6-7 classes a week, my running has improved tremendously, and I have dropped nearly 50 lbs since I started. As much as I love to travel, I hate leaving because I'll miss the gym! I'm constantly challenged! Nothing gets boring! ❤️ 💪
____________________________________
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.

The trainers are great. They are supportive And knowledgeable. The classes are challenging but you will definitely get out of it what you put into it. The instructors will push you and some of your classmates will also push you. My strength has improved over the past month but I think I noticed most is my endurance has improved. I 100% recommend no matter what your fitness level is.

I am 56 yrs old and THINK I've been at coastal for at least 9 yrs! Prior to joining ( drinking the kool-aid 😅) I had always worked out alone. I ran, swam, worked out at gym's but always alone. I enjoyed it but had no idea what I was missing! Since I've been here I've met incredible people, given amazing advice from the coaches AND members, and feel stronger than I have since my twenties! The members and all the coaches are amazing and anyone that crosses that threshold feels welcome and it's life changing possibilities! Thank you Coastal love you all!

I am in my third week of working out at Coastal. I signed up for the trial for a month and within a week I jumped on membership.
I hate going to gyms because I don’t know what I’m doing and I don’t want to learn. In addition, working out at home looks like the couch and chips.
Coastal is going to be my new home. No judgement by other members, smaller classes and instructors that are welcoming and willing to answer any questions.
Look forward to progress over perfection!

I found Coastal, or it found me, during a period when I decided to workout on my own while my trainer was taking care of other obligations. After a month of barely moving, and being afraid to lose momentum, I started looking for something else. I toured a gym close to home but knew all the fancy machines (where were the free weights and kettlebells?) with no support, would not be for me. I was seeing Coastal pop-ups on Facebook and decided to schedule a strategy session. At that session I decided to try the 28-day progam to see how I liked it. Well, I loved it! Some of what I love about it: the energy of working out with (and getting to know) other people; getting personalized attention without paying for personal training; the flexibility of working out on different days and times as my schedule changes; that the workouts are not monotonous, and the music is pumping; and the trainers and staff are knowledgeable, kind, enthusiastic, and attentive to all. ~Michelle

It had been a long time since I had been inside a gym, years. I did however, worked out at home. I made the best decision signing up for Coastal Fitness , it has been a great experience , you learn and improve your workouts with one on one assistance and it is different than any other gym I have been to. I feel a great incentive , and the fact that you workout in groups makes the experience even better . Thank you Coastal Fitness for making this possible

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 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!

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.

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.

Coastal is the only gym I'd go to. Period. Started at Coastal about 2 1/2 years ago and it's best described as group personal training -- dare you to find that anywhere else locally with all it's got. It's all functional fitness - no hurting yourself like you do at other gyms (hell no, CrossFit, and personal trainers who don't know what they're doing!). It's geared for people over 35 - we're not dressed to impress - and the coaches have all been there since the start (8+ yrs ago?). The coaches know everyone by name and your style of workout when you show up for that day's class within the larger, planned workout program. It's not some random workout you just show up for, and that's what makes it satisfying and successful. I honestly don't have to think. That takes a lot of stress out of the workout, when someone's doing the thinking and planning for you. No more walking into a gym during any day and looking at the machines going, "What do I do today?" There are a number of folks with hurt, and/or recovering bodies, and the coaches are good at providing modifications- no embarrassment here. It's the norm. And BTW, it's not one of those rah-rah atta boy/girl gym with lots a hyping... and definitely no yelling. Instead it's lots of oversight and helpful, chill guidance from the easy-going and extremely knowledgeable coaches. They're all seriously and genuinely into helping folks get or stay fit safely. It's a tremendously upbeat place where we know each other, and truly look forward to seeing each other, and have a lot of fun while working out hard... or as hard as you want to -- it's up to you.
BTW they also have a nutrition program, AKA diet program, and I've lost 38 pounds this year with their low stress approach.
Ultimately, this is my happy place. And from the looks of many others it is their happy place too. It can be anyone's. Check it out, and you'll be hooked.

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!

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 am 60, and a month 1/2 in towards my fitness goals. I am very pleased with this gym. Fitness coaches are great and very knowledgable. If you are working out an injury/pain; they will give you numerous different workout moves to help you maneuver around the pain and keep you moving forward with your journey. Workout times will suite anyone's needs.. From 0430-1815... Love the flexibility of times. My third month in, I will slip into their yoga classes and see how that is...... All of my classes so far fit the needs of a diverse age class in various stages of fitness..

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.

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 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!

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 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.

UPDATE: 6 Years Later
I haven't been to this gym in several years. Between covid and a move, it has made it impossible for me. HOWEVER, I want to say that this gym and the coaches have never left my side.
- They taught me how to workout properly and not get hurt.
- They taught me the fundamentals of nutrition.
- They helped change my mindset.
I listen to many of their podcasts, travel to the gym for specific help if I need it, and keep up on their social media.
Honestly, these coaches really love this stuff and want to help people. It's refreshing.
-- Original Review
What a great gym. I've been coming here for about nine months and have to say they are awesome. It is easy to get caught up in the community aspect of the gym. You will laugh a bit, sweat a lot and look forward to coming back.
They are a little sneaky. You will quickly find yourself coming in and enjoying the comradery, push yourself and enjoy the experience. HOWEVER, if you look at the training plans, they are very well thought out. They really do know what they are doing.

Where do I start?? After years of working out at a large, crowded, impersonal facility, I figured out that I needed to make a change. I felt unchallenged and was becoming unmotivated. I started looking around for other options and kept seeing 'Coastal Strength and Fitness' pop up in my searches. They were offering a free 30 day trial membership so I signed up and never looked back! The workout sessions are as fierce as you make them but still made for everyone. And I can't say enough about our trainers- highly knowledgeable, attentive and focused on our fitness ventures. Thanks Coastal crew!

I finally decided that I was going to take charge of my health and chose Coastal Strength & Fitness as my partner in the process. The staff and members alike, could not have been more welcoming to a newbie, while supporting me from day 1. I’ve tried it on my own before, walking into a gym and staring at equipment that I had no idea how to use, and it’s never worked for me. It’s a different story at CSF, but it’s a choice, and you have to put in the work to see the results.
If you are looking to make a lifestyle change, by making better choices with your nutrition, and want to be challenged physically, than I recommend taking Coastal as your partner too!

I just celebrated my 5 Year Anniversary at Coastal Strength and Fitness and believe me when I say it’s been the best 5 Years of my life. From day one, the coaches have always been helpful and they actually care about their clients. You aren’t just another number paying for a membership but never showing up. They want to help you in any way they can to succeed in your goals and they will be there with you every step of the way. The best part of Coastal though is the community they have created. I’ve met so many amazing fellow members over the years who are so loving and encouraging and who have quickly become life long friends. Coastal is an amazing environment to be in if you’ve been working out for years or if this is your first gym ever going to. You will always feel welcome and every day you go, you will love it more and more.

I cannot say enough about Coastal Strength and Fitness. The coaches are all relatable and are extremely vested in your success. The workouts are planned for you so there’s no need to aimlessly walk around the gym not knowing what to do. The coaches not only show you how to do each station, but they stick around to make sure your form is correct for maximum work and they will help you with whatever nutrition plan you have for whatever goal you have. This is the gym where my deadlift skyrocketed, where I was encouraged to push to maximize my box jump, and where I was introduced to the Turkish getup, which became my favorite exercise ever. I promise that you will be encouraged every day, you will be pushed to be a better you, and you will make some awesome friends along the way!

I just finished a six week challenge and lost 9.2 pounds. The challenge was 'simple', per se, eat three times a day & no snacking in between, and weigh yourself each day. I did not measure or log my meals at all. I was, however, very mindful of what I ate. I worked out at least 3 times a week and checked in with the coaches at least once a week with any questions or concerns. I got helpful tips & suggestions daily through the app which kept motivation high, plus the member community who also helps keep you motivated & on track. Coastal is more than just a gym. It's a community with awesome coaches and programs to help you achieve your fitness goals.

Coastal has their own app that allows you to communicate at anytime with a coach, even if you just have a question. They check in with you throughout the week to make sure you ate hitting your targets and goals in the gym and with your nutrition. I don't just feel like a member at any other gym, I feel like I have a support team on my side who truly cares about my health and wellbeing in and out of the gym!

I highly recommend Coastal for anyone who doesn’t feel like walking into a gym and being intimidated by not knowing what to do or how to work the machine. I’ve always been in fairly good shape, except for the last two years. Twenty pounds heavier, I decided to get my butt back in gear. Walking into Coastal felt like I didn’t miss a beat. They’re so encouraging and provide great guidance for leading a healthy lifestyle, and not just getting into some fad diet or drop weight quick schemes like i’d Been pursuing. They build a family and community around you so that you always have a support system. All I have to do is show up to get the inspiration I need from the moment I walk until the moment that I leave. They also provide great nutritional insight for sustainable eating. I’ve only been coming three weeks, and I’ve already lost 3 pounds. I also recommend it for anyone who’s never worked out a day in their life. There are people of all different shapes and sizes, but everyone gets the same enthusiasm and encouragement throughout the entire work out.

The coaches are very knowledgeable and take the time to correctly demonstrate the exercises and correct your form, if needed. The workouts are very well planned and are NEVER boring!

So I’ve been a member here for over three years and there is just no way to say all the wonderful things about this gym!! I have more self confidence in myself not just in how I look but how strong I’ve become! The coaches are top notch, the members are always motivating and supportive, and the music is on point! I have been through two pregnancies in two years and this gym not only helped me keep my sanity, it definitely showed me how to safely keep my strength and endurance up which helped tremendously after baby!! And even though with my second I wasn’t allowed to workout after a certain point, once I was cleared after the baby, they were back at helping me achieve all my goals SAFELY! 7 months later I have lost all of the baby weight from baby number two plus some and am deadlifting close to where I was before the baby and my endurance is getting back on track! I wouldn’t be this far with my strength and nutrition goals if it wasn’t for the coaches and my gym fam motivating me and helping me! Side note, I met one of my best and cloesest friends at this gym and our kids met and are best friends. This is more than a gym! It’s a game changer! Coastal can be a vivacious and motivating gym family but they can also be a helping hand, a strong guidance, and shoulder to lean on, or a space away from something bothering you. Whatever you need that day, Coastal that is there to help you succeed with your strength and nutrition goals and to build a healthy lifestyle all while you build self confidence and lasting friendships!

I LOVE everything about this gym! I’ve lost 25
pounds, gained strength, learned sustainable nutrition habits to lead a healthier life, and met some amazing people in the 9 months I’ve been at Coastal. I’ve tried a couple of different “big name” gyms in the past and even had an amazing trainer at one but nothing compares to the community and support you get when you join Coastal. All of the trainers are there to support you with nutrition, work outs, and even your personal woes at times. I love that I have options to go to a workout at various times that will fit into my busy schedule and when I get there the workout is planned out for me, no thinking involved! If something is too difficult or too easy the trainers are there to tailor it to my needs. Everyone at the gym is super supportive! Give it a try-you won’t regret it.

Well, I love this gym so get ready for a long review! I'm not a gym person, didn't want to go to a gym, and definitely didn't feel that I could possibly do a "cross fit" style gym. But when I reached the big 60, my weight was out of control and I was beginning to have health and mobility issues. When I saw Coastal's 6 week challenge advertised, I thought just maybe I could jump start a better routine for myself with some competitive encouragement. I was assigned a "partner," though our eating styles and workout schedules were totally different. Just knowing that if I didn't follow through, my partner would lose points was extremely motivating. That was the first thing I liked about this gym. Instant accountability. A few other things I really liked, and these will sound minor, I was able to work out in bare feet which helped me feel more balanced and stable. Also, no mirrors! Very helpful when you feel self conscious to begin with. And, I didn't feel terribly out of place because I struggled to do many of the workouts. They were inclusive and encouraging. Now, onto the important gym recommendations...
1. Class times. Lots of options for class times, from 4:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. with no requirement to stick to the same time slot. Whatever works for your particular schedule on any given day, they have a class time that works. And they're open 6 days a week.
2. Small classes. The classes I attended usually had between 8 - 12 people working out.
3. Planned workouts. You never have to decide what to do or work on. The workouts are planned for you and include warmups, a primary workout, and a finisher. The trainers explain and demonstrate everything you do during your workout.
4. Trainers. Always at least 2 trainer's so you can get as much help as you need. They would help if you were doing an exercise incorrectly, modify an exercise if you were struggling, or substitute an activity if physical limitations prevented you from doing a particular exercise.
5. Accountability. Helped me learn to use a meal tracking program. It was great for keeping me more aware of what I was consuming daily. Also had you check in daily to report whether you'd reached your exercise and nutrition goals.
6. Encouragement. Daily messages from Coastal staff to encourage you to keep moving forward, to stress progress over perfection, to give tips to make lifetime changes. All very motivating.
7. Family. Gym staff and gym members all make you feel like you're part of a family. As though they are all rooting for your success.
I think this is a great gym staffed with terrific trainers. Try them out!

I was a member here years ago and had to stop for various health reasons. While away, I was able to focus on those things knowing one day I’d be back and have finally found my way back!
The people, the coaches, the workouts, and the atmosphere are the reasons I started years ago for the first time, and the reasons I came back. I am so happy to be a part of a community that genuinely cares for one another. So thankful for all that Coastal brings to the table!

I love that at Coastal they make you feel comfortable no matter what your fitness level is! The coaches reach out to check on you, and there is a Facebook group that helps everyone stay connected, share wins and difficulties, and connect with one another in different ways. I love that it isn’t just about working out, but about changing habits in order to create a healthier sustainable lifestyle. Also, it’s so fun meeting the other people you work out with! It’s so much better than working out all by yourself!

I have lost 20 lbs, gained strength, a gym family that I adore and an all around healthier lifestyle. Don't ever think that you're too far gone, or you will be out of your league. The workouts are tailored to your abilities and the coaching is easy to understand. You also will have access to nutrition coaching and support. Every weekend, there are conversations on the facebook groups about ideas for meals for the upcoming week. If you are unsure about joining, try it for a month. Invest in yourself.

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I searched high and low and tried all kinds of fitness styles and various gyms over the years, but Coastal is the only one that has really stuck for me. I needed a positive, supportive gym environment to keep me accountable to exercising without pushing me to the point of injury or burnout. I honestly thought I was just getting a fitness program, but I got WAY more than I bargained for. I met kind, authentic people. The coaches became real mentors to me in so many aspects of life. And I'm healthier, stronger, and more consistent than ever in the gym and in the kitchen. Even better - when I do hit a bump in the road and struggle to honor the commitments I've made to myself, I'm now the kind of person who just gets right back at it and doesn't look back. No more "falling off the wagon" and backsliding. Coastal taught me the skills for that. Definitely recommend this place for all ages and fitness levels.

This gym has more positivity and charisma than anywhere I have every been!
The workouts are intense, focused, and efficient. I spent hours at other gyms trying to accomplish what Gary can do in 45-60 mins here!
It's a eyebrow sweating hour nearly every time but it doesn't feel impossible because of the encouragement and dynamic of the others around you! I am a competitive person by nature so I love having people around me to push me to do my best!!!

This is my second review of this place, and I'm much more confident today in my physical abilities than I was when I wrote my original review. Coastal is a great place to build muscles, strength, friendship, and confidence. The name should be Coastal Strength and Friendships because that's what so many people get out of this amazing gym. The trainers really know their stuff in regard to movement, muscles and nutrition and they don't charge extra for sharing all their awesome knowledge. Coastal is life saving.

I came in with a goal of losing 100lbs. I had started on my own and had lost a good bit of that amount on my own but I was bored out of my mind and even though I had lost weight I still looked pretty much the same. This led to frustration and the desire to give up. Enter Coastal Facebook ad! I was intrigued and scared. Surely this place with people lifting heavy weights and doing exercises I had only seen done was not going to be appropriate for someone like me. I was still super chunky and out of shape and was terrified that I would be laughed right out of the joint. I eventually mustered up the courage to give it a go. The coaches immediately made me feel welcomed and under their guidance I’ve met my goal and have achieved so much more. I’m stronger and healthier than ever and the members have become like family. Best gym ever!

I highly recommend Coastal! From my first workout, I have felt that the trainers are dedicated to helping me achieve my goals. The trainers are knowledgeable and encouraging and they create a fun atmosphere that is non-judgmental. They not only offer a great workout, but also nutrition recommendations and accountability.

Great place to work out, all levels! The coaches are encouraging, knowledgeable, and attentive (always making sure you are executing with proper form to avoid injury and maximize benefit). I love that the workouts change in cycles, to keep things interesting and challenging. The members are more like a family, and everyone feels welcomed from the start. Hands down my favorite gym ever (and I've been to a lot!).

I have been a Coastal member for over 2 years and love it! I cannot say enough good things about the coaches who are all present and available and are very invested in your health and safety. They are very willing to work with you at your level and have helped me tremendously through an injury and subsequent surgery. In addition to the coaches, all of the members are phenomenal! This is a judgement free zone as we are all on our own journey and in different places. The support and encouragement we all give each other not only makes a great gym family but is a big part of why I keep coming back!

I joined Costal in January of this year and my experience has been nothing but amazing. I have not only lost weight, but I have become stronger and have so much more confidence in my self. It's not like any other gym. The coaches teach you to listen to your body and that slow and steady will always prevail. If you listen to what they say you will see amazing results.

It’s impossible to squeeze everything I love about this place into one review. Over the past 3 years I have transformed my body and my lifestyle. Your workouts are planned for you and you are surrounded by awesome people regardless of what class time you choose. The coaches are full of knowledge and create personalized plans to help you reach your specific goals. I never thought I’d get so attached to a gym, but the community at Coastal Strength & Fitness is one of a kind!

Coastal is such an amazing gym, they have trainers throughout every workout there supporting you, checking your form, and ready to help at any point with whatever you may need (i.e. advice, a listening ear/ hug, and/or to challenge you if you are holding yourself back). Truly an amazing community they have created and to be apart of!!!

I cannot day enough good things about Coastal. They have literally changed my life. Over the course of a year I lost 65 pounds and gained a whole new perspective on eating and fitness. I’m healthy for the first time in my adult life. Their philosophy is simple and doable for anyone. If you are waiting for a sign to start...this is it! Go join. The only regret you will have is not joining sooner.

If you are looking for a place to come in and suffer alone on a treadmill this is NOT the place for you. If you are looking for a gym that is alive with activity and motivation; where people want you to succeed and will be there with you the whole time, then this is the place for YOU!
I discovered Coastal about a year ago after getting sick of my old suffer alone type of gym and I have never looked back. The community is fantastic and diverse. The Coaches are knowledgeable, caring, funny, and Motivating! You will not only be working on your strength and endurance, but creating a healthier lifestyle of exercise and nutrition.
I can say with confidence that joining the Coastal family was the best decision of 2017 for me and I have confidence that it will be for 2018.

If you have been struggling with seeing the change that you want to see in the gym, this is the place. The staff is extremely friendly, the atmosphere is fun, and the people that come here will hold you accountable. The classes are structured for any level and there are trainers to help you through any techniques that need some extra attention or just a "well done".
Within the first month of being here I lost a pant size with no major changes in what I was eating other than paying more attention to when I was eating.
If you want to say "I went to the gym today" and pay $10 a month for a gym, join a planet fitness. If you are looking for a place where you will see and feel the difference, join Coastal. You'll have a full community of people behind you and to support you to achieve your goals.

The best gym ever!!! I have never lifted weights before stepping through the door and 8 months later I can do a proper deadlift thanks to the wonderful trainers!!! It is more than just a workout because I've made friends with several of my fellow Coasties. Thanks Coastal!
