Best experience I’ve ever had working out. I started here in May of 2025 at 306lbs and I can proudly say that as of today Justin has gotten me down to 267lbs. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a life changing experience. ASK FOR JUSTIN!!!!!!

Ghent Fit is the ideal personal training gym!

As someone who is health conscious, but has difficulty establishing a consistent fitness routine, I knew I needed the extra help. And Ghent Fit has exceeded all my expectations!

I’ve been training with Justin for 22 sessions and counting! He is knowledgeable, professional, personable and organized! He is uplifting, while still holding me accountable and helping me reach the goals I set out from the start.

My goals were to increase my energy, strength, weight loss and decrease work related back and neck pain. With these goals in mind, my customized training program was created to get results and track progress via the app. I love how targeted the exercises, stretches and plan have been and in such a supportive positive environment!

Have definitely noticed improvement and I actually enjoy coming in for my twice weekly workouts! Looking forward to continued progress! Would recommend to anyone and everyone, start now :)

I’ve been working with Emma for over a month and I’ve enjoyed the sessions that I’ve had, one of the best things is accountability here.They tailor workouts to your goals and listen if you want to change your focus. I never believe anything is perfect but this is a great place to find general guidance for health and fitness goals.

I’ve been working with Emma and couldn’t be happier with the results so far. I’ve already lost 5 pounds, and I feel better everyday. Emma is encouraging, knowledgeable, and makes me feel welcomed. I’d highly recommend working with her to anyone looking to make real progress toward their goals.

I started training at Ghent Fit to break through some powerlifting plateaus I’ve been stuck at for years. After two months with Justin I have set new PRs in three lifts. Beyond breaking plateaus, I have learned about different approaches to training, tried new movements, and have found I have a lot more gas in the tank/strength than I previously thought. Communicating with the team is very easy if life comes up and you have to skip, and if a trainer has to suddenly take time off the team has a seamless and effective approach to filling the gap with the other trainers so momentum isn’t lost. The facilities are conveniently located and always clean. Highly recommend Ghent Fit for whatever your fitness goals may be.

I’ve been training with Justin Chao for several months now, and I can honestly say the experience has exceeded my expectations. His knowledge of resistance training is outstanding— he doesn't just tell you what to do; he explains the why behind every movement, which has helped me train more mindfully and effectively.

Every session is thoughtfully structured, challenging, and tailored to my individual goals. Whether it’s adjusting form, modifying an exercise to prevent strain, or pushing just enough to hit a new personal best, Justin strikes the perfect balance between motivation and professionalism.

What sets him apart is not only their expertise, but also his encouraging and positive attitude. He has helped me gain confidence in my strength and progress. I’ve seen real results—in both performance and mindset.

I highly recommend Justin to anyone serious about getting stronger and doing it the right way!

After 6 months of researching gyms and trainers in Norfolk, I decided to try Ghent Fit. I am so glad I did.
All of the trainers are educated, certified, and have years of experience. This matters in a world of Instagram and AI “trainers”. The owner Josh is passionate about helping people reach their goals and I rather give a local business support, than a big box gym. During my initial consultation with Josh, I felt listened to. He wasn’t just trying to get me in the door and take my $$$. The trial was no pressure and gives potential clients a chance to see if they vibe with the gym. I was paired with Jorge (the trainer I wanted anyway because of his ACE Certified Corrective Exercise Specialist designation) and he is great. Jorge is fun, energetic, and knowledgeable! Every session I learn something new about my body. I have back and pelvic pain and my workouts are designed just for my issues. I look forward to my workouts with Jorge and I am considering training with him more times a week.
Included in the program is an awesome app with even more information and workouts (the app alone is worth it). On non gym days clients are assigned homework by their trainer. It adds an extra layer of accountability! Another positive thing about Ghent Fit is the diversity of the staff and clients. People of all shapes and fitness levels are welcomed.The vibe is welcoming and non-judgmental.
Prices depend on how many days a week a client trains. Prices are fair considering the education/experience of the trainers, the app, and the private training room.
No one asked me to write a review and I’m not getting anything in return for saying nice things, lol. I just wanted to tell everyone about Ghent Fit!

Having not been in the gym for a number of years, I’d gained weight and was no longer comfortable in my own skin. I tried working out on my own but, after months, I had made no significant progress. I knew I needed to make a change and work with a trainer. I had met the owner, Josh, at a GBA meeting and decided to give Ghent Fit a try.

In the 4 short months that I've worked with Justin, I’ve lost the additional weight and am able to fit in my old clothes. I’m already seeing definition in my upper body and increased strength.

One of the things that I value most about working with Justin is that we are in an ongoing dialogue about my goals and he evolves my program to match where I am and want to go. He understands where I've been and has taken the time to learn how to motivate and push me to do my best. I genuinely look forward to every training session.

Justin is a top level professional in every sense. I am immensely appreciative of him and Ghent Fit for helping me realize my fitness goals. Highly recommend.

Training with Justin has been a genuinely awesome experience! In just two months, I’m lifting heavier and feeling stronger. He doesn’t just run workouts — he tunes in. To form, mindset — and those small-but-mighty victories that sneak in while you’re too busy sweating to notice. Justin trains with a great mix of encouragement and good vibes — and I’ve somehow developed an oddly joyful affection for deadlifts. Which, honestly, says it all.

Working with Justin at Gent Fit has been an absolute game changer! They expertly guided me back into a consistent three-day-a-week program that has completely transformed both my body and my mental health.

Justin makes every session fun and challenging, and somehow even on the days I’m not feeling it, I leave more energized and focused. Their approach keeps me motivated and accountable—even outside the gym. Highly recommend to anyone looking for real, sustainable progress with a trainer who truly knows their stuff!

Ghent Fit is amazing!! I had surgery a little over a year ago with a lot of complications, leading me to be hospitalized for months. I did physical therapy briefly through the hospital, but I had no strength after laying down for months and multiple procedures. I tried Ghent Fit on a whim and from day one they were so understanding. They take into consideration all factors and do things that will truly help you as an individual.
I have worked with Rob and Jorge who have been insanely helpful. They both take things day by day and push me just enough, being mindful of my other chronic diseases. I have been to physical therapists multiple times in my life and Ghent Fit beats all of them. I used to dread going into physical therapy, but going to Ghent Fit I don't have that same feeling. Everyone there is so supportive. I would highly, highly recommend. As a self-certified mess™️ I can attest that they will take care of you.

I have been working out with Justin from GhentFit for about two months now - it has been a great experience! My goals were to learn more / build a new resistance training plan in the gym, as well as to build more lean muscle. I feel on track to do both thanks to GhentFit's awesome facility and Justin's awesome training!

I'm a 60-year old guy who wanted to maintain my fitness and prevent injuries and chose Ghent Fit several years ago. I've become a regular because they have excellent trainers who take the time to understand each client's personal goals and fitness levels and custom tailor a program. For the past year, I've been working with Jorge, who has a great sense of humor and pretends to enjoy my music choices. 100% recommended!

One year update!

I’ve been training with Ashlee at Ghent Fit for exactly a year now and I’m still incredibly pleased with the progress I’ve made and my experience at the studio! Before I joined Ghent Fit, I hadn’t worked out in quite a few months and I had never done anything with weights.

One year later I can max squat 135 pounds (more than I weigh!), I regularly deadlift 115 pounds, and I can do a REAL push up. I’ve also lost more than 10 pounds and I’m down 4 jeans sizes. I’m more active all-around - I walk during my lunch breaks, I go to yoga at least 3 times a week, and I’m recently foam rolling on my off days.

But more than anything, I feel the best I have felt in a very long time. Four months before I joined the studio, my dad died suddenly. I left DC to move back to the Norfolk area so I could be closer to my mom.

My life had completely turned upside down and having regular training sessions with Ashlee gave me the stability I needed. She helped me gain back confidence during a time I felt so much self-doubt. She encouraged me to give space for my grief and to always pay attention to my body.

And she still does. There are days that are hard and filled with grief, but during a session with Ashlee I can prove to myself that I can do hard things. And I can achieve things I never thought possible.

Super grateful for all the folks at Ghent Fit and for Ashlee!! Can’t wait to see what I accomplish in this next year!

———————————————————————————
I’ve loved training at Ghent Fit! Ashlee has been an AMAZING trainer to work with! She’s been super encouraging and she is incredibly knowledgeable! I knew absolutely nothing about how to use any of the equipment in a gym and I wanted to learn proper form and how to use everything safely, while also getting in shape! Ashlee’s been the absolute best in teaching in and helping me progress in my health and fitness goals! Highly recommend training here!!

Ghent Fit Norfolk helped me achieve what I once thought was impossible.

Two years after rotator cuff surgery, I was still struggling with limited strength and range of motion. That changed when I joined Ghent Fit. The team worked closely with me, and the results were dramatic—my shoulder strength and mobility improved significantly.

A special thanks to Rob, who laid the groundwork by teaching me proper form and building a solid foundation.

I then spent the next year training with Jorge, who truly listened. He pushed me when I was ready and supported me when I needed to ease off. Thanks to his guidance, I can now say with confidence: Mission accomplished—my shoulder is strong and healthy!

Beyond that, my overall strength has soared. Best of all, I now have the knowledge and confidence to work out independently, using proper form and protecting myself from future injury.

If you're looking for a team that genuinely cares about your goals, you can’t go wrong with Ghent Fit. Thank you, Jorge and the entire team—you made this possible!

I started training with Justin to get in shape for a trip to Greece this summer, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! During my trip I felt strong and energized, which allowed me to enjoy every moment. I'm excited to keep working with Justin and continue building on the progress we've made.

Jorge has been my personal trainer for a few months now, and I can confidently say that working with him has made a huge impact on both my physical health and mindset toward fitness. When I first came in, I was dealing with some back and shoulder pain that made working out feel more like a chore than something to look forward to. Jorge took the time to understand my limitations, assess my mobility, and tailor each session to support recovery while building strength.

Thanks to his smart, progressive training approach, that pain has gradually subsided. I’ve noticed major improvements in my posture, strength, and endurance—especially in movements I once avoided. What really stands out about Jorge is his ability to push you just enough while keeping everything balanced and safe. He knows how to read your energy level that day and adjust on the fly, so every session feels effective and well thought out.

Another thing I appreciate is how engaging and upbeat he is during our workouts. There’s never a dull moment with Jorge. Whether it’s cracking jokes to keep the mood light, breaking down form with clear, easy-to-understand cues, or throwing in a new movement to keep things interesting, he makes sure each session is something to look forward to. You can tell he truly enjoys what he does, and that passion makes a huge difference.

Jorge explains the purpose behind each exercise, helps track improvements, and celebrates small wins along the way. That kind of support has made me more motivated and consistent over time.

Jorge stands out for his knowledge, attention to detail, and genuine care for his clients’ well-being. He’s helped me not only build strength but rebuild confidence in my body. I’ve gone from avoiding workouts because of pain to looking forward to each session knowing I’m getting stronger, more capable, and more resilient.

If you’re looking for a trainer who listens, challenges you safely, keeps things interesting, and actually helps you make lasting progress, Jorge is the one. I can’t recommend him enough.

My husband and I started training with Jorge about 5 months ago. I signed up with the goal to lose some weight, gain some strengths and help ease some back pain. I work an office job which means I sit all day and am not super active.

Since starting our sessions with Jorge, I definitely have started to see progress and feel stronger than a couple months back. My back pain has gotten better as well. I appreciate how Jorge explains each exercise and its benefits relating to my back pain issues or my husband’s shoulder pain. His exercises are fun and it makes me feel encouraged.

There are a couple of things I struggle with at a normal gym which are 1) forms and 2) having to wait for the machines. I have none of those problems here at Ghent Fit Norfolk since they are a private gym and Jorge does a great job reminding us what the correct form looks like.

Aside from the workouts, Jorge has done a great job of coordinating with us with our busy schedule and remaining flexible. I travel a lot for work and leisure, and he does a great job making sure we get all our sessions in either before or after the trips.

Although I’m exhausted from my job, I always feel good and happier leaving the training session!

I would recommend this team and gym to any of my friends. Or at least sign up for the consultations.

I’ve been training with the Ghent Fit Team for over 2 years now and I absolutely love it. Not only I’ve become healthier and have seen amazing results but I also developed a great friendship with the trainers. Ashlee is a phenomenal trainer and puts a lot of emphasis in personalizing my sessions. She is also a dear friend - the sessions are a mixture of exercise and psychological therapy ❤️

Ghent Fit is a 100/10. The one on one, personalized program has given me so much confidence! I started training at Ghent Fit with Justin back in March, and I can confidently say this was the best decision I’ve made for myself for my health. At 40 and living with PCOS (insulin resistant, sleep apnea and all kinds of fun stuff), weight loss has always been a challenge—but Justin took the time to truly understand my goals and create a plan that works for me.
From day one, he’s been incredibly personable, always bringing a great sense of humor and the kind of motivation that makes you push harder—even when you think you can’t. Four months in, I’ve gone from using the lower weights to maxing out the dumbbells on squats and RDLs (70 lbs)! I’ve lost 4 inches off my waist and noticed a big difference in how my clothes fit. Most importantly, I feel stronger—because I am. Consistency is key! From nutrition to coming in each day with a positive attitude makes a huge difference in performance. There have been days, after a long day of teaching, where Justin will modify my workouts, but then I end up crushing it! My energy levels are much better. Practically no more napping! The Ghent Fit app is also helpful for tracking meals, seeing your activity and taking a sneak peek at what your trainer has in store for you!
Justin’s coaching is helping me build a foundation I can carry forward into training on my own, and I finally feel like this next chapter of life will be healthier and more empowered. If you’re thinking about making a change, do it. You won’t regret it. It is temporary discomfort for a better quality of life! Shout out to Jorge, who always keeps me laughing! Thank you Ghent Fit!

Been training at Ghent Fit for over 9 months now—first time I’ve ever stayed this consistent. I’ve hit a 225lb bench, maxed out the heaviest dumbbells, and I’m squatting and deadlifting pain-free with real confidence. My arms, back, and shoulders are noticeably more developed. Beyond the physical gains, my mental health, stress management, and day-to-day confidence have all improved. The coaching and support here have been a game-changer.

I've been working with Justin at Ghent Fit twice a week for about 3 months, and I can confidently say it's been one of the best decisions for my health and fitness journey. From day one, he took the time to understand my goals, limitations, and lifestyle, creating a personalized plan that was both challenging and sustainable.
What sets Justin apart is his knowledge, encouragement, and genuine care for clients. I could ask questions about why to do things a certain way, and he would explain. I could go in with a kink in my back and he'd give have me do a stretch that would get it right out.
I have seen progress physically, more strength, better endurance, and improved posture. I've also gained confidence and a better understanding of how to take care of my body.
If you're looking for a trainer who is professional, motivating, and truly invested in your success, I can't recommend Justin enough. He will help you unlock your potential and make fitness a lifestyle, not just a goal. I could go on and on about all the good things about Justin. I look forward to working with Justin again in the future should things align for me.

I like the 1-on-1 time with private rooms and individualized routines that best help me. Everybody is dedicated to helping you succeed in your goals. I ended up having a few months with Justin, who was a wonderful trainer. He was very personable and helped me define what my goals were and he helped me build confidence so I can feel comfortable working out on my own. I liked that he continuously checked in to see how I felt as if my progress was going, and he was honest about what he thought as well. Justin was a really good trainer to have, and will push you towards your goals in a very subtle, positive, and supportive way. I enjoyed my time with Ghent Fit and it’s very bittersweet to leave, but I do feel prepared to now train on my own.

In that time I’ve 40lbs, have increased mobility in my knees (the primary reason I started training) and am feeling stronger and more energized than I have in years. The trainers are phenomenal. I have been training with Justin for the past 6-7 months. He is quite knowledgeable, professional and, if you’re willing to put in the work, can help you attain the your fitness goals. I highly recommend Ghent Fit for anyone looking to start training.

I’ve been training at Ghent Fit for 9 months. I started seeing results in the first month! Thanks to my trainer, Jorge, at my physical yesterday my doctor was very pleased because my triglycerides were lower (last year they said if my numbers didn’t improve I’d need to go on medication) and my body fat percentage was in a much healthier range. Last week, I was able to deadlift more than my bodyweight, 200+ lbs. The team here also helped me eat better and to have more energy and helped me lower my alcohol consumption.

I have tightened my belt, increased my chest, and am feeling great. Would 110% recommend.

After 2 yrs of a hamstring injury that started to inhibit my active lifestyle the pain finally brought me to the professionals at Ghent fit.

I can’t say enough great things about Ghent Fit! This place has truly changed my life. I’ve been working with my personal trainer, Ashlee, and she is absolutely amazing. She’s helped me get stronger, move better, and significantly reduce my pain. All the trainers here are incredibly knowledgeable and provide expert guidance on what’s best for my scoliosis, back and neck pain, and slipping disc.

Before coming here, I struggled with constant neck and back pain. Lifting things was difficult, and I worried about my future mobility. But thanks to Ashlee, Rob, and the incredible team at Ghent Fit, I’m now stronger, in less pain, and feeling better than ever. I can move with ease, lift without discomfort, and my overall quality of life has improved tremendously.

I’m beyond grateful for the support and expertise of the trainers here. Their knowledge, dedication, and encouragement have made all the difference. If you’re looking for a place that truly cares about your well-being and helps you achieve real results, I highly recommend Ghent Fit!

This is more than just exercise—I’m investing in my quality of life. And what’s more important than that?

I came to Ghent FIT because I knew one of the trainers. Here, I received EXCELLENT 1 on 1 training from Jorge. I was able to listen to the music that I wanted in a semi private room with no one staring at me and judging. I needed 1 on 1 training because I was recovering from rotator cuff surgery. I was impressed that they asked for a letter from my physical therapist stating my limitations. This showed me that they had my best interests in mind. I would recommend Ghent FIT to anyone who wants to ensure their trainer is only focused on them and they are highly trained and knowledgeable in their craft. It's a great place!!

I started working out at Ghent Fit at the begging of February after moving to Norfolk from Charleston for a job. Jorge has been my trainer and he’s been fantastic. I hadn’t worked out in three years and didn’t know where to start and he’s really helped me get back into shape. I’ve lost 17 pounds since I started training at Ghent Fit and I’m ecstatic! I met with Sarah a few times for nutrition guidance and she’s been absolutely amazing! My diet wasn’t really good to begin with and she helped me figure out what works best for me. I feel better than I have in years!

GFN has been an integral part of my journey toward achieving my health goals. Before starting, I had no training or experience with consistent exercise and I was intimidated to start. I decided to fill out the online interest survey and before you know it I was in the studio the next day! Thanks to my knowledgable and patient trainer Savion, I have had lots of fun gaining a foundation in training that has been tailored to my ability level and goals. After only two months, I have noticed a positive difference in my abilities, confidence, and kinesthetic awareness! Everybody that you work with here is invested in your success and fostering a longterm growth mindset. I am excited to continue my fitness journey!!

Ghent Fit Norfolk has been a great place for me to continue with my fitness journey. Getting started was a quick and easy process. The owner responded right away after I completed my initial interest survey. Within a week I was scheduled for my initial consultation and fitness assessment. I started working out with my trainer Alfonso in October 2023 and I have been training with him 3 days each week since then. He is an excellent trainer and he really takes the time to understand my limitations (back injuries) and put together a plan that is doable but also challenging for me. The investment is not small, but I do believe it is a worthy one and I would certainly recommend this gym to anyone looking to learn how to properly train their body and prevent injury!

Ghent Fit is awesome. Private rooms with really experienced trainers with degrees. I did Beachbody workouts at home for for 15 years mostly P90X. After a few sessions with Rob I realized, Beachbody has no idea what they are doing. Rob has really transformed how I work out and I can really tell the difference. I moving more weight and feel better all while doing moves with proper form as to avoid injury.

I’ve been going to Ghent Fit for over a year now and have been meaning to leave a review because I LOVE this place! I’ve worked with several trainers here and there but my current and fave is Jorge. Everyone is so knowledgeable and meets you where you are. I’ve had some other injuries crop up while training and Jorge was able to immediately adapt workouts. He is so encouraging and fun and I actually enjoy the gym!

It does seem pricey but I think it is very fair for personal training in general, plus the bonus of private rooms! I really, really love that privacy and one-on-one space.

GhentFit is literally a dream come true. I’ve tried so many different avenues of pursuing my fitness goals and keeping at it, from group classes, to gym buddies, to apps and trackers. After years of trying by myself, I realized I desperately needed support. I am SO grateful that GhentFit exists. They are truly accepting, understanding, and supportive. The environment they actively curate is palpably positive and kind. I’ve worked with 5 of the trainers there at different times, and every single one of them are delightful and passionate about education and sustainability. Special shoutout to Ashlee—her technique-focused approach and down to earth instruction has been life changing. She’s helped me heal from injuries caused by other workout instruction, and is just a straight up talented, compassionate, and lovely presence. I cannot recommend the GhentFit fam enough. You won’t regret having the privilege of working with them for one second.

I highly recommend Ghent Fit Norfolk if you’re looking for a reliable, experienced, and fun personal trainer. I joined Ghent Fit after recovering from foot surgery and started out training with Ashlee, then switched to Jorge when my work schedule changed. My goal was to get back into lifting and learn correct form to avoid injury. Ashlee and Jorge each built customized workout programs that were very safe and effective in helping me build up my strength while improving my mobility and flexibility. What I appreciated the most was that they would always explain the “why” behind movement - why it was beneficial for the body and why it was important to maintain a certain form to maximize the movement. They really care about the well-being of their clients. Give this place a try - you won’t be disappointed.

My wife and I joined Ghent Fit Norfolk about five months ago and have been working with Brian 3 to 4 times a week since then. It has been an excellent experience, we are getting the results we wanted, and our program is tailored to our goals, and needs. Brian in particular does a good job of scaling each individual work out to where we are on a particular day, and makes sure we get rest as needed. Jorge and Alfonso have substituted on a few occasions and both have been excellent. It’s not cheap, but it’s good value And I feel like I get what I pay for.

I've been going to Ghent fit for 2 years now and I have really liked the staff and individual work out rooms. I have had a few trainers while being here and my current trainer, Alfonso, has been the best I've had so far.

He is a terrific trainer and is so positive and uplifting! He helps motivate me, especially when I don't want to keep going and understands how to keep me on track for my goals. He really listens to my questions, and helps me better understand why we are doing certain movements and how each part of the work out it will benefit me in my unique fitness goals. He is also very funny and can make a tough workout enjoyable with his jokes and light-hearted personality.

I really like Ghent Fit, would definitely recommend it and it's been personally so great working with Alfonso. I look forward to many more sessions to come!

Ghent fit was hands down the best decision I could've made for training. It is on the expensive side compared to other gym subscriptions, but this program legit works and has helped me stay consistent. I'm 4 months in, stronger than ever, and beyond grateful that I was matched with Alfonso.

Alfonso is fantastic and he's taught me so much about muscles and form. He has also saved me from at least 8 workout related injuries. FYI - workouts are supposed to burn; not hurt.. lol I honestly didn't know.

Thank you and I appreciate everyone for creating a fun and safe place to accomplish my healthy living/weight loss goals :)

I love the private one-on-one environment that Ghent Fit provides, as well as super knowledgeable trainers who answers questions, and caters to your needs, wants, personalities.

When I first joined, I had zero experience working out at a gym, and Josh & Rob thoroughly went through what the experience would be like, and answered every single one of my many questions that I had. They knew I had to feel comfortable first more than anything and they definitely succeeded that.

Highly recommended!

They are so amazing to work with - everyone is always in SUPER high spirits, whether it’s talking over the phone or face to face in the gym itself. What I love most about them is the way the gym is set up. Not only is it a smaller gym to make you feel more connected BUT you get your own area with your own equipment to work with!! Who wants hundreds of people staring at you while you’re working out? Who wants to wait on equipment? Nobody! And here you don’t have to worry about that. The trainers are absolutely amazing, everyone in the building is!! All in all a great place to start your journey of healthiness, confidence and happiness at. I cannot wait to continue the journey with GhentFit :))

Ghent Fit was a wonderful experience! All coaches were super knowledgeable and very accommodating when scheduling workouts. I worked with Heather mostly but also with David and Savion. All were great in helping me reach some goals of mine and prepared me to keep going on my own!

The nutrition consultation with Sarah was helpful, but it would be even better to have tailored meal plans and maybe some before/after photos to help show progress.

Overall it was great and I’d go back again should I ever feel the need for more personalized training in the future.

Thanks so much!

I didn’t have to research the problem myself and make requests or debate. I’m not used to that. Attention to detail, and illustration of excellence in a craft turns me into a raging fanatic.

So very pleased with everything Ghent Fit has offered me to date. I have been a member for close to 4 months now and I am seeing results in the mirror and in my over strength and endurance. The trainers are accommodating and attentive. My goals were weight maintenance, increase in strength, and learning how to better take care of my body. I strongly believe that the staff is just as committed to my goals as I am. On my most recent training session the trainer asked (as usual) if I were feeling any discomfort or soreness and I relayed that my right calf was more sore then usual. My trainer took a look and noticed that there was some swelling around my calf and ankle (something I had dismissed). After a quick consultation with another trainer they suggested I reach out to my doctor "just to be certain that it wasn't something more". I took their advice and scheduled a visit with Urgent Care the next morning and they referred me to the ER for a possible blood clot in my leg. The ER ran some tests and they did discover a blood clot - something potentially very dangerous to my health. Thanks to the staff at Ghent Fit and their ability to recognize a potential issue, I was able to treat the problem. Literally a life saver! I recommend Ghent Fit for your personal training needs - they really do care and even after only 4 months, I sincerely consider the staff among my friends. Whether you seek weight loss, strength building or just an improvement to your health, you will be in good hands. Trust! 5+ stars all day!

I've dealt with many issues knowing that they stemmed from my weight. I also knew that a guided program from a more knowledgeable person would help me on the right path.

At Ghent Fit I have the support system I need to build the right program for me. We started addressing flexibility and mobility issues to prepare towards building towards my goals.

In just my first week I felt a world of difference and am excited to continue my progress. The above is what is working for me, and at Ghent Fit they help build what will work for you and the lifestyle you want for yourself.

I highly recommend David, who is awesome at being supportive and explaining how the routine and exercises help your body, and knowing how to build correct form.

Not only that, but the one on one training feels way more comfortable than going to your typical gym where it may feel uncomfortable working out in-front of a whole crowd. Ghent Fit listens to your goals, and plans your sessions around those goals. They also have a great app to track all the progress you make, provide nutritional information, and so much more. I would definitely recommend anyone who is thinking about getting in shape again, or just feeling more confident overall, to come here! 10/10

I've had a month of sessions at Ghent Fit and wanted to share my experience so far. I've also been a member at a local bouldering gym for a few years now and I found myself in a serious performance plateau due to my own limitations in strength and mobility. Still love that place but wanted to find somewhere I could dedicate time to make improvements on my performance and found Ghent Fit online. Very thankful I did because I've beaten my climbing plateau in just a few weeks of working with them! My strength has improved (like adding 65lbs to my deadlifts) as well as significant improvements in my flexibility so I can get into some of the creative positions that more challenging climbing routes require. On top of top of the benefits of getting fast improvements in myself, I get to work with the team at Ghent Fit who are amazing and extremely friendly! I've always felt awkward going to a traditional gym but at GF I feel like people are genuinely happy to see you and say hello. I've been training with James and he's been nothing short of awesome. I'm a bit of a nerd and ask a lot of questions and he's always got a thorough answer and seems so passionate about the "why" for exercises and movements I'm doing in my program. Josh was 100% right that he'd be a good trainer for me when he matched us up. I've also met with Sarah to discuss nutrition and it was so helpful to hear her approach and how they don't encourage any crash dieting or crazy eating restrictions. I've been a lifelong fad dieter and the slow and steady approach is so much less stressful. Can't recommend these guys enough, and I'm looking forward to more sessions in the future!

I enjoyed my time here even though all my goals weren’t met and that’s entirely on me. I still left stronger than I was when I started just not in the sense that I would have liked. Otherwise everyone is friendly and easy to talk to, the place is very private with a variety of equipment in each room/space and the music was great to workout to. My only advice would be to revisit your goals regularly to make sure you’re staying on track with what you seek to accomplish.

I have never been a part of a private gym before, so becoming a member of Ghent Fit was a big leap for me. Now, 7 months later, I couldn’t imagine where I’d be in my fitness journey if I hadn’t joined. Each trainer takes time to learn you and how your body works. They are super flexible to crazy hectic schedules and will bend over backwards to make sure you’re getting the A+ treatment! This sounds like the basic essentials of a gym / private training, but Ghent Fit takes it to another level by making you feel at home. You can tell that these trainers love what they do, and they all are so excited by your own success, and truly are committed to helping you achieve the goals you want to achieve! Always full of smiling faces and positive encouragement, you will leave after every session knowing you made the right decision!

I came to Ghent Fit Norfolk with shoulder and upper back issues. I had pain when I slept, because I'm a side sleeper and always slept on my left side. Because of this my left arm, shoulder, neck, and upper back were always sore and eventually I started losing sleep because of it. I had a few sessions with my trainer Rob who worked on my trouble spots with exercise and trigger point therapy and I feel brand new. Even though I'm 25 years old, I still knew that if I had this type of pain now, I wouldn't be able to live with 3,5 10 years down the road. It would only get worse. I can't recommend this place enough. Everyone is so friendly and the owner Josh went out of his way to accommodate my busy work schedule, listen to my needs and pair me up with a trainer that could help. This place is awesome!

Good lord, the clouds have parted and the sun is finally shining through. When a person goes through trauma, on various levels, we need help. I found these guys and gals and not only have they demonstrated genuine empathy, they have brought me back to life. This is not an exaggeration. With massive amounts of stress, it can destroy the body. Well, that's me. Just getting up and walking down the stairs was just stone-cold depressing because the pain was immense. Just after three sessions with Rob I am, not kidding, FLYING down the stairs. My body feels like it can function again and now emotionally and physically ready to really catapult my way into fitness again. Rob sure does know what he is doing. He very clearly explains the what, why, when of things so my body can heal in order to move forward in a smart, effective way. He is so right. He is FUNNY, well mainly because he laughs at my jokes, that's important:) Seriously, if he can make my tauma-filled body and soul in such a short period of time, three sessions, can't wait to see how things will go in the long run. Worth every penny and I wake up not depressed anymore; good sleep, no more achy body, and the quality of life has greatly improved. Bottom line, I appreciate these people.

I absolutely love this business! I looked so many places for a physical trainer, tried out a few, and could not find anyone who could help me reach my weight & body goals. However, I came across Ghent Fit & requested a phone call & was immediately called within an hour. Josh was very friendly & funny, but also knew exactly what I was looking for. He matched me with the amazing Laurie & she has been pushing me since day one! Everyone is so friendly, they make you feel apart of a family!

The gym has personal workout rooms so that you & your trainer have one on one sessions without interruptions. I love this because we don’t have to share equipment & I have all of Laurie’s attention.

There’s an app the trainers use to input all of the workouts you complete, along with the weight used and number of reps completed. There’s also a little video, which shows you how to complete the exercise, just in case you forgot what your form should look like! You’re also able to track your progress and log your food intake!

I’m ranting now... you get the point! lol I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

I have been going to Ghent Fit for over a year. It has worked out really well for me. I find that if I have an appointment with a personal trainer, then I really do exercise. The trainers at Ghent Fit are very good. I've worked with Sarah the most. She knows all about exercising. She is good at pushing me to exert myself, but not so much that I don't want to come back. It is uncanny how well she chooses the amount of weight for me to use in each exercise. Never too heavy, or too light! I don't know where she gets all of her energy. Thank goodness some of it is contagious. Yet she isn't overly hyper. She makes the sessions very pleasant. She doesn't over-do the conversation part.. She keeps me moving. She records every exercise and every rep I do in an iPad, so she can show me the progress I make. If I have to cancel or reschedule a session, both Sarah and Josh are very understanding and flexible. The facilities are always clean. I like having a private room when I work out. There are only three exercise rooms, so the place is never over-crowded. The bathrooms are clean, and there is plenty of room to change clothes if needed. Ghent Fit provides healthy snacks for free, and really good filtered water! There is a part of me that wants to hold back with my enthusiasm because I don't want the place to become too popular! Josh and Sarah do a wonderful job. Check them out when you get a chance. Ghent Fit fits me and my lifestyle to a tee. Chances are it will work great for you too.

I’m starting to See results and I feel amazing. Body transformation and nutritional insight were both goals I wanted to achieve On my journal to better health.

After turning 40 I wanted to get in shape for the long term. With all the craziness of family life I knew for me that I needed a place that started early and would help hold me accountable. I found both of those things at Ghent Fit and a lot more. The trainers have strong Exercise Science backgrounds and some are even Physical Therapists in training. This was beneficial to me so we could work around a bad knee. The owner is very professional and always involved when he needs to be. The gym has both weight training equipment and high end cardio machines. The cardio machines are available for use at all times. There are two showers onsite with towels and toiletries. The place is always immaculate. Since joining I have both lost weight and put on muscle. I have been happy with the results and feel that I am on a sustainable path to good health.

Regarding COVID19 all staff wears masks (i do as well while training) and there is hand sanitizer at all locations.

I’ve been super excited about getting back into a gym setting post knee surgery. I heard about Ghent Fit through a friend who got help with his nutrition and workout plan. They are a specialized personal training gym where they take time to learn about your wants and needs to help your physical health which has ultimately helped with my mental wellness. Speaking on the phone with Josh Evans, the owner, was a joy. Josh was kind and straightforward about their services which made it clear to me that he didn’t just want to take my money but he truly wanted to help me with my situation. I needed a better nutrition and workout plan and this gym exceeds all expectations because of the fitness professionals that work there. I’m loving my progress so far so do yourself a favor and give them a call. You will not regret it!!

Would highly recommend Ghent Fitness. Since I have been working from home since March needed some motivation. Nervous about going to a gym with all of the people around. Ghent Fitness Personal Trainers are awesome you work with 1 trainer who is wearing a mask and you are the only other person in the room. They are constantly cleaning so I truly feel safe. I have so much more energy now and seeing results in less than a month!

Ghent Fit is the right fit for me! I am a working mom with 2 young children, leaving me zero time to take time for myself. Ghent Fit is conveniently located down the street from my office, giving me the opportunity to sneak in a few sessions each week during my lunch break, shower, and get back to work. Having never stepped foot in a gym or worked out before, Josh and Sarah welcomed me without any judgement and tailored my sessions to my personal goals. I really enjoy the intimidation-free environment that each private training room provides, as I am still learning how to use all of the equipment. As each week passes, my strength is improving and I am really excited for my new work-out routine.

I started when I was 17 years old and have been going and I am just about to turn 19, about to go to college. During the winter I am a competitive Ski racer on a Ski team I work with my trainer Jarrett who helps me gain the strength I need. During the off-season we work on reaching my goals. I very much enjoy going to Ghent Fit Norfolk because the environment is very friendly it is always very clean and most of all I enjoy the personalities. Everyone is always so friendly and I am extraordinarily appreciative to my trainer who makes our sessions worth going back every time!

Go get your kids a personal trainer! In fact go to Ghent Fit Norfolk. The kids will love it! *wink*

Ghent Fit, Norfolk has changed my life. As a man in my 60’s I want to work with a trainer who would maximize my fitness while making sure I do not injure myself and I certainly found such a person in my trainer and gym co-owner,
Toby Hartwell. He has a gift for reading people and balancing the challenge and support I need. His sessions are
motivating and fun. He has taught me so much about diet, exercise and muscle development. This gym is also a family.where acheievements are celebrated and the staff is gracious and truly interested in you as a total human being. While I am at the older end of the clientele, this a great place for younger people as well and there are also clients who are in high school and college. Come
try it out!
