A neatly dressed retired 20 year active duty disabled veteran walked into Inlet Fitness this morning. Embarrassed, he politely asked the two girls at the front desk if he could use the restroom, informing them that it was a true emergency, knowing that the next nearest restroom was hundreds of yards away.
The equally polite silver haired woman at the front desk only explained that, "people would complain." I politely responded that I understood it was Members Only and I wouldn't be asking if it wasn't a real emergency. She repeated her response also looking at the younger female manager hoping for permission to allow me to use the restroom.
In true passive aggressive Virginia Beach fashion, the young manager went above and beyond to avoid eye contact with me while rolling her eyes and scoffing when the woman looked up to her hoping for permission. I knew it wasn't going to happen, so I politely excused myself.
(Don't worry, this story has a happy ending.)
I walked to the nearest available restroom and almost made it before soiling myself. The restroom I found was very neat and I left it better than I found it. I had a clean towel in my truck to protect my leather seats from just my pants since the fecal matter didn't make it all the way to my socks. Tiny blessings!
This is my first time walking in the doors at Inlet Fitness. I am not a regular, a local or a boat owner who frequently asks to use the restroom there. I wouldn't bore you with the details of my medical conditions that made this a true emergency. I'm not affiliated with any competing organizations or compensated in any way or even gratified by creating this review.
I do think it's important, before they sign up, for the public to know the true character of local businesses who have no interest in serving the good of the public, but set up shop on premium real estate so they can overcharge the pretentious to work out at a marina with underserved restroom access. Not their problem!

Inlet Fitness is truly one of the best gyms in Virginia Beach. I’ve been going here for years, and it never disappoints. The equipment is great, the gym is always clean, and the atmosphere is exactly what you want motivating but not intimidating.

The people are awesome too. Friendly staff, solid trainers, and a community that actually makes you look forward to working out. Whether you’re lifting, taking classes, or doing your own thing, it’s just an all around excellent gym.

Highly recommend Inlet Fitness if you’re looking for a place that feels like home and keeps you consistent.

The owners, front desk personnel and personal trainers make it obvious that they want you there to have a great time and to get in the best shape that is right for you. There are obvious various levels of individual fitness levels but no one feels like they have to keep up. The training classes are tailored to an individual’s level based on their level of fitness. The location is in a prime location which makes it a joy to go, especially when a workout begins on the treadmill.

Inlet is a truly special place, and it all starts with the incredible community! Every program is thoughtfully designed, and the care that goes into choosing the coaches and trainers really shows. The coaching is consistently top-notch, whether you're just starting out or aiming for new heights. But what truly sets Inlet apart is the supportive community that not only holds you accountable but cheers you on every step of the way. It’s the kind of place that lifts you up, making your fitness journey not just successful, but enjoyable. I couldn’t recommend it more!

I am originally from Philadelphia and have been here 7 years. Exercise has been apart of my life for most of my adult good, 20+ years. Virginia was certainly a different vibe and it was challenging finding something similar to what I was doing until I came to Inlet Fitness. This gym has certainly lived up to my expectations. I have done several fitness classes but Allison's spin class is by far the best! She is definitely a top rate spin instructor and I always look forward to rocking with her!

This is an oasis of fitness and deserves 10 stars. I can not say enough good things about this gym to do it justice, but let’s just start with a few—- THE VIEW! I love going and hate leaving this place because it is so beautiful. The environment makes exercising an enjoyable event. All of the natural light from the floor to ceiling windows is very energizing. THE PEOPLE! They have an incredibly supportive staff and team of instructors. In a world that doesn’t seem to care any more, these people care and it shows, they have restored my faith in humanity. CHILD CARE! So nice to have someone tolerate my two year old while I get some uninterrupted exercise/yoga/class/stretch time. EQUIPMENT! Bulk up, slim down, stretch out, the space and supplies are available inside and outside! I could not ask for a more pleasant work out experience.

For me the personal aspect of the people that work there really make this the best gym out there and a place I wanted to go back to. I highly recommend checking it out!

I worked at iNLeT years ago before I had babies, and have been a member now for almost 7 years. I LOVE this place!! 💚 since I was on staff I know the owners personally and they are wonderful people. They care so much about the gym members, are so kind to the staff, and take fabulous care of the 2 beautiful facilities they own. I HIGHLY recommend getting a membership here!! I bring my 3 kids almost everyday and they love the childcare staff and the childcare space. My 2 year old has always had stranger anxiety, but she ADORES the ladies who work in the childcare room.

iNLeT offers so much! If you like exercise classes, they have a full schedule with lots of variety.
If you like exercising on your own, there is plenty of space and equipment for many people, as well as a gorgeous outdoor deck with a stunning view. I also occasionally run on the bike path which is close by!
If you want a personal trainer or a small group training team, you have got to check out the TRIBE teams here!
All the trainers and class instructors are very qualified and fun and professional.

Love you iNLeT!!! 💚💚💚

This isn’t the fault of the gym, but I feel like it’s important to note, and I would have liked to know before having a membership, but never in my entire life have I been to a gym and been approached or stared at by men during my workout than I have here. I just watched a man through the mirror put on his glasses specifically to stare at me while I squatted, leaning around a machine to do so. I’ve been asked out multiple times by men 3x my size, once in the middle of a heavy squat set, where I couldn’t reclaim my personal space or object to him without endangering myself with the weight. Even with a membership that I paid an arm and a leg for, I’ve only gone about 4 times because of this, and had this sort of experience every single time. I’ve had memberships at several other gyms in the area and have never had this be an issue... maybe it’s people not knowing how to act after quarantine? Anyways.

Again, not the fault of the gym which are kind and lovely people, but I thought this experience was important to know for women considering a membership here.

I went for a trial today and the front desk receptionist, a young woman with long brown hair, was seriously rude. I told her that I came for a trial and she gives me a nasty look and asks me if I reside in Virginia. Then, she just points to all the equipment rather than giving a full tour because she's lazy. She doesn't even greet the clients hello/goodbye.

This gym is the best in Virginia Beach. So many class choices for all levels and schedules. They know their members personally and treat us like family. For example, there is a large group of us that can only make 5:30 a.m. classes during the week due to work schedules. After a recent member survey, they added two more really challenging 5:30 a.m. classes to accommodate us. How awesome is that? Only your family would do that for you. Look no further, friends.
