Management and staff don't do anything to enforce no cell phone usage in the locker rooms. It is their explicit written policy that there is no cell phone usage in the locker rooms, and they have signs indicating as much, but it is an ongoing problem about which they don't seem to do anything. It makes it a very uncomfortable atmosphere and does not respect privacy. Given that this has been going on for a number of years despite repeated reporting.

I love ACAC I’ve been coming here for over a year now. I have a personal trainer Cathie B and I am so grateful because she has made me fall in love with working out again and is so personable and very knowledgeable. She shows so much passion in what she does and that alone says a lot. She’s helped me lose weight and regain my confidence in working out. I look forward to our sessions. The gym itself is so nice there’s so much you can do from classes, to the workout floor to private rooms a sauna and the pool, plus the cafe. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for somewhere to start a fitness journey that isn’t just a gym it’s a community- and a very welcoming one at that.

What I can say that’s really positive is I requested a specific machine and mentioned it many times , I left the this gym in search of a CURVED self powered treadmill . With no luck I returned to ACAC and to my surprise they ACTUALLY BOUGHT ONE ! The fact that they actually listen to their members is amazing. It’s definitely the best luxury gym in Charlottesville . Worth the money if you enjoy the recovery aspect of a workout . And now they are the only gym to my knowledge in Charlottesville to have a curve treadmill . With a partner who is a professional athlete this is essential to us . Thanks for creating access to one ACAC !

great place but closes too early. It is the best gym in town, I think. But if you are into powerlifting look elsewhere. Recently they extended their hours of operation and it is better. The biggest downside now is the price, given that it is the most expensive gym in town

put it this way: I would be happy to be a sales person, at ACAC. whenever I see people looking around to see if they want to join, I am happily describing to the potential members the years that I’ve spent at ACAC staying fit improving my wellness and feeling that I’m part of something wonderful. It’s so clean. The staff is so friendly. The options for fitness activities are varied and. replete. I’d say join for sure.

I had a disappointing experience with ACAC Physical Therapy. The service felt impersonal, and it seemed like their main focus was charging fees rather than providing quality care. Appointments felt rushed, and I didn’t receive the attention or support I expected. I left feeling like my concerns weren’t addressed, and I didn’t see much improvement in my condition. I wouldn’t recommend them if you’re looking for attentive and effective physical therapy.”

Overall club is excellent but a little expensive. The showers and locker room are dated and need modernization. Weight machines could be more diverse. Seems to have too many of some machines and missing others like a hack slide and standing glute press. Generally a good choice however.

The main group exercise room and the women's locker rooms are in very poor condition. The showers in the locker room are moldy with missing tiles and grout. The main group exercise room is dirty, cluttered with equipment and the speakers for the sound system are blown out. Instructors often have to stop class to try to adjust the sound system. The ceiling tiles are water damaged and the HVAC vents in the ceiling are corroded and drip water during class.

The last time I was there with my son to swim, I asked the resident there if it was possible for us to swim and he said yes, and after swimming for ten minutes another person came and said you must go out now and I asked him for another ten minutes for the sake of the child and he refused. I did not understand the law there. Does each person apply the law according to his mood or what? The customer service there on the weekends is very tiring, especially the man with the tattoo who promises you things he will not do

Superior gym in Charlottesville. Clear pool/family schedule. The lifeguards/aquatic stewards are polite. (Everyone is polite at ACAC, but this would have been a huge sell to switch sooner had we known about the differences in gym culture, especially around the pool and childcare.) Always clean. The lighting is pleasant and the environment is warm and inviting.

Highly recommended for their accessibility for the disabled and special needs families. The constant yelling and screaming allowed during swim practice at our old gym was very off-putting, and the quiet and calm at ACAC is a welcome change. I enjoy going to the gym again.

I have attended the Balance/Simply Fit class with my parents throughout the five years they have been members. With the exception of the Pandemic year, I participate once or twice a year when I travel from my home in Maine. The amazing instructor, Stephanie and wonderful classmates really make the class great. My objection is to the reduction of classes from twice a week to only once, the location (five flights of stairs to the roof top), having to carry yoga mats and hand weights and moving the time of class from noon to 8:30 am. Despite repeated attempts to draw attention to the inequity of the class changes, my mother has received no response from the "powers that be". With the construction occurring next door, wind blowing yoga mats and glass shards found in the exercise area I was appalled. I determine this a blatant form of ageism and will be contacting the Charlottesville Chamber of Commerce. Shame on you ACAC Downtown !

I usually do studio but this was fantastic, professional and great mix of riding...Megan Monday night is back... My heroes teacher..She is awesome.. Mahogany WOW...he puts on a show that you don't want to stop.... great ride... Jason a real trooper one of 1st teachers back when no one was here.... We are doing 2 classes a day, all superb teachers...
Only 1 that was extremely disappointing Rythm ride Vanessa. We walked out of the class, very unprofessional, will never go back to her, my husband was really upset with attitude. From her..Front desk people in both places outstanding service... Bryce was very good, DANA,one of my favorite all around teachers never a bad class, always professional..Julie Soence does a studio 30 min 1 day a week, really spot on teacher.....

Such a great place--I am so grateful to have somewhere for my kids and me to go indoors this winter!

Studio 60 needs more classes and after 6 PM too. Swim classes would be great after spinning but they are always same time or half way.. Would like to see belly dancing classes and more swim classes as well as spinning classes.. Great ambience.. love the fire place and lounge on roof. Showers are amazinggg

Best gym in Charlottesville, but definitely could use some improvements if it wants to compete into the future. Cleanliness-3 stars, the locker room showers are pretty gross as well as the upstairs weight/cross-train room with trx equipment. There's always an amazing amount of hair balls that just don't seem to get swept up daily and even when they open first thing. If you work in town, employers generally give great discounts. The saunas are wonderful. Compared to gyms in NY/NJ in this price range, their really should be more overall space, better equipment, hot tubs located in each locker room. Classes are fantastic and taught by great instructors. Hours are much better than the YMCA. ACAC also donates to local non-profits, tech events and local causes. Can get extremely busy most hours of the day... Overall, your best option downtown.

My only complaint is that it seems to be getting overcrowded lately, especially in the locker rooms. Used to be you could count on a smaller crowd afternoons between 1 and 4:00 but even that space is getting hectic now. Not sure if anything can be done about it but I am starting to find it annoying to wait for equipment with increasing frequency, especially given membership rates.

I was a patron of ACAC for a little over a year before I left. I moved into an apartment complex that had a fairly nice onsite gym, and since this was free I thought it only made sense to leave. THIS WAS A HUGE MISTAKE. For two years I struggled to muster up any excitement about exercising, it became a burdensome chore. I finally came back to ACAC and I couldn't be happier-- it is remarkable how much of an impact an approachable staff and a tidy gym can make.
