The Cary Street Gym offers excellent varieties of physical conditioning for all people, regardless of shape, size, or physical ability. Come in, go to the welcome desk, take a tour, and determine if you could reep the rewards it offers.

I've enjoyed the Cary street gym for several years now. It has become crowded especially during the school year and the equipment could be updated, but the space is useful and safe. People are friendly and it is open to non students.

Been a member of this gym for over 10years. Love that there's no overhead music, always a nice temperature, staff are quick to fix broken equipment when it happens. They are usually a little packed because everyone wants to go there. Only complaint is the showers, the water doesn't get nearly hot enough and the curtains don't close all the way so you can see through. Still wouldn't go anywhere else. Thanks for being open to the community.

It can get busy at peak hours and parking isn't great but I really like this gym. Even when it is busy I don't normally have to wait for what I need because there is so much equipment.

Iβve been coming to Cary St gym for 10 years and everything about it is great except for the pool. Itβs clean and nice but you never know when itβs going to be spontaneously closed or reserved for some event and the lifeguards take a lot of liberty with what the rules seems to be. Today I raced across town to get to the pool on time, was relieved to see that it wasnβt closed any unforeseen reason, and realized that I forgot my goggles. This isnβt usually a problem because theyβve always kept a lost and found with plenty of goggles which theyβve always given out on the honor system. Today I asked for them and they told me that one guy didnβt return a set of goggles, so theyβre no longer giving them out. There are goggles that have been in there since I started coming a decade ago and thatβs literally the point of keeping them around. Not the worst thing in the world Iβll admit but just an example of how unreliable things are here.

I only come here for yoga group exercise sessions and the treadmills. Highly recommend yoga with Haley, Kate, and Jo. Treadmills are ok, and I wish that they could hire more yoga instructors to keep up with the demand. I have to set alarms on my phone to sign up for yoga when it opens up because all the spots fill up in minutes. I also wish they could do something about making the weights area more comfortableβ¦ seems to be hogged by gym bros and frat dudesβ¦

Huge space, indoor rock wall, with almost every amenity you could think of. Personally Iβm not a huge fan of the style treadmills they have but the track is where I do my running. Itβs a huge gym so some things get over looked and customer service isnβt a top priority. All in all itβs the best gym Iβve been a part of and happy to be there.

Paid street parking.
30-50$ membership monthly.
Annual contracts mandatory.
PACKED gym.
I decided not to commit but really doesn't add up to a good experience. Unless that's where all your bros go.
They didn't actively wrong me, so I can't give it a 1 star, but red flags abound.

SEE EDIT AFTER REVIEW
This gym looked really, really nice and I was very excited to join. Unfortunately, the experience of signing up immediately killed whatever excitement I had.
Today, I attempted to start a membership in person at Cary Street Gym. I wanted to get an Annual Staff/Faculty membership with an additional adult. The staff member working the counter informed me that the cost would be $221 paid up front. I agreed to this price and paid via debit on the POS system.
The staff member went to take the picture of my partner (the additional adult) to set up her membership and then stated that he charged me the incorrect amount and stated that the actual amount would be over $400. I did not agree to this and asked that the $221 I already paid be refunded to me. The staff member stated "We don't do refunds". He then asked for the supervisor to come speak with us. We explained our situation to the supervisor and she stated that she was "Sorry that you misunderstood the agreement" (which in customer-service language means "this is YOUR fault, stupid") and that the details should have been in the waiver that we signed.
I stopped her right there because neither of us were ever given a waiver. There was no mention of a waiver until then. The original staff member admitted to the supervisor that he didn't give us the waiver and that it was "my bad."
We were then informed that the best thing to do would be to email another supervisor. I have written said email, but, as somebody who works for VCU, I know that writing an email to anybody is an exercise in futility. I can only hope that it is seen, because otherwise I'll have to report fraud to my bank.
Because you know...taking money from someone for a service and then changing the terms of the transaction with NO contract, waiver, or written agreement saying that you could and refusing to refund said person when they disagree with the new terms is FRAUD.
Look, as a nurse, I'm used to getting screwed over but this takes the cake. Stay away from this place. I don't care how nice the gym is, they STOLE MY MONEY.
EDIT: Management has responded to me and offered to rectify the situation and given me a full refund. They have also stated that staff will be re-trained in how to sign new members up. Management has gone out of their way to iron this out for me, probably during their time off as well. For that, I've changed my star rating but my initial review will stay up as the issues are still valid.

Signed up for the community member membership as I am no longer a student, a little pricey but the facilities are nice. Front desk persons sign me up for what I believe to be a month to month 45$ plan.
I get injured in beginning of Feb, don't use facilities due to said injury then get a email from their front of office saying I cannot return to gym until I sign some paperwork they forgot to have me sign.
So a month passes by, I don't go because I'm injured and I assume, wrongfully, that because I they missed having me sign paperwork they wouldn't be charging me since I am by their own admission not allowed back in until I sign said paperwork.
I find they charged me for the month of March, I call in asking for a refund on the voicemail stating the situation. I'm called back a few hours later by the person who claims to be in charge of the Rec Office membership and this individual very rudely, and sternly proceeds to tell me I've broken their terms of service for my apparent 1 year contract I signed. This was news to me.
And if I request a refund for Feb and March I'd need to prove with a doctors note that I was out for Feb, and they'd only refund me March out of good will and that I am never allowed to use the "month to month year plan" option ever again and only am allowed to use the 1 time yearly membership plan.
I explained to the guy I had no idea I even signed a year contract and that was definitely not the information given to me when I signed up at the front desk. He could quite frankly careless, you could tell he just wanted to get off the phone call even though it already hardly a two minute conversation.
It seems that as nice as the facilities are, the staff seems a bit uncaring and under trained. I shouldn't have been signed up for a year contract under the guise of it being month to month, and I definitely don't believe I deserve such rude candor over a simple refund request over an injury.

Lol mirrors in front of pillars that are useless, you aren't allowed to use specific weights on specific platforms, it's always ridiculously packed, and machines are so packed together and placed in the dumbest places and it's always cramped unless you go early morning. whoever designed this place shops at Walmart.
Also anyone who rates this place over 3 stars either doesn't use the lifting area or they've never been to a quality gym

The best possible choice for students, someone more questionable for the general public and an excellent value for VCU and VCU health employees. Spacious, newly renovated gym with tons of court space, exercise rooms, wide variety of machines and cardio equipment and plenty of power racks. Does have a glute ham bench. Large pool area and I believe a sauna. Not an ideal gym for true power lifters with no mono lift, deadlift jack, specialty bars or belt squat, though there are plenty of bumper plates and rubber mats. So far the golds in Louden in probably the best gym in Richmond I've seen for powerlifting, both Cary st and mcv rec are close seconds

I miss cary st gym before covid:( do I love how spread out the mats are and the physical distancing procedures they've implemented--yes, but the way they handle time slots has gotten ridiculous since the gym reservations are filled immediately, the chances of being able to get one or someone else canceling their reservation are slim to none.
Then there's the 3 no shows policy--which might work in their favor somehow--but it's terrible for us when the group exercise sessions start before the scheduled time, so we fall into a trap of getting no shows when we show up at 7pm for a 7pm class and the door is already closed & locked by 6:59.

The gym and equipment are great. The amount of people who were accepted to VCU that cant read the signs during the pandemic are astonishing though. The gym staff are trying their best to keep things safe. So fellow students..... read the signs for the maximum number of people allowed in an area there are signs everywhere.

This gym is a great facility, however it's always crowded. It's frustrating to see they let people outside of VCU community to use it, when it's arguably not big enough just for VCU students. Most students will tell you they avoid this gym simply because it's too crowded. The plus to this is that if you do start going regularly you will become very comfortable working out in front of other people to the point where it won't bother you anymore.

My second home. Membership is included with tuition, but offers other options for those that are not students. I been here six days a week for the past two years and I have no complaints on the equipment or staff, just other gym goers. Parking is a pain, just like all city parking. I would say that approximately 25% of the lockers do not work properly, but once again not the gyms fault, people cannot follow directions and mess it up for others. All in all, re-racking your weights after your sets is part of your workout.
