Westwood cares. I've never been to a gym with more thoughtful ownership who is conscious of what they offer, what their clientele wants, and how they operate their business. The gym itself is always clean and orderly and that comes from the top down! Hands down the best gym I've been to!

This gym has everything you need, and more. It’s clean, organized, and well laid out. The same and cold plunge are an added bonus after your workout. The space is never super crowded, which is awesome. I also love the flexibility that I can go anytime, 24/7.

Recently joined this gym and I am so excited for what’s to come. This place is INSANE (in a good way). The owners/trainers are kind, the space is clean and has top notch equipment. It’s clear that this establishment has put a lot of thought and care into servicing their clients. I could not be happier with my decision to join Westwood Athletics.

This is hands down the best gym in Richmond. The equipment is high quality and super clean. It has everything you need to get an amazing workout in. Signing up is super easy and the owners are so helpful and friendly.

My favorite part is the sauna and cold plunge. I feel like I recover quicker, my body feels great and I feel so refreshed afterwards.

Incredible gym for weightlifting! Walkable from Scott's Addition. Clean, well-equipped with new Rogue equipment, and enough space- even during crowded times. Infrared Sauna & Cold Plunge are great additions included in the membership. Friendly and communicative ownership to boot!

I’ve been coming to Westwood Athletics for almost 4 months now, and every day since joining I’ve come in with the same attitude and excitement to get a workout done. The equipment is state-of-the-art, which I feel has improved my performance towards activities outside of this facility. I feel that the community here at Westwood is built on integrity and supporting one another to grow in their individual playing field. Everyone here is helpful, honest, and don’t make you feel silo’d. Plus, the ambiance is great. Really gets you dialed into what you’re trying to accomplish. TLDR; if you’re looking for a place to get a great workout here in Richmond, VA, come to Westwood Athletics! It is THE gym that you’ll be recommending to your family, friends, coworkers, even strangers too.

This facility has everything you want and nothing you don't. It cultivates an environment dedicated to personal growth and wellness on your schedule. No more waiting in line for squat racks. This is *chefs kiss* a masterpiece of a gym. Thanks to the local homies that put this together.

My gym had to urgently close for a few days as a result of some flooding. David and team let us have day access to bridge the gap. I went on a Sunday morning on a day pass and found the gym all to myself. The gym was incredibly organized and clean with all the equipment needed for weightlifting or compound/HIIT exercises.

I even did my first sauna/plunge routine which was a joy...I think. I'll look to come back every now and then to do this same routine and change the scenery a little. I'd happily join this gym should the need arise. Thanks to the Westwood team for being accommodating!

GREAT facility. I was in town for a few days and stumbled upon Westwood Athletics and signed up for day passes. Has all the core ROGUE and CONCEPT 2 equipment you'd want. Really clean and well maintained. The 24 hour app based access works really well (despite some user error.) Highly recommend.

This gym was absolutely spotless. I’ve never seen anything so perfectly kept, not a plate out of place. Everyone was very respectful and kind. I was in richmond visiting for a few days and needed a gym with crossfit / weightlifting equipment that my hotel could not accommodate and this was exactly what i needed. A trainer who i unfortunately forgot his name let me inside and explained how to enroll in a week pass and download the super convenient app to get inside. I picked up a shirt and some stickers to wear back home. The owner David was very kind and a pleasure to meet! I can’t say enough great things about this place. 🫶🏻

This place is ELITE and ahead of its time.
If you want to Oly Lift, this is your place.
If you want CrossFit, this is your place.
If you want a swole sesh with the homies and mirrors to check on them guns, this is your place.
AND, to add a cherry on top, if you want a place to recover, having both the option of an infrared sauna and cold plunge, this is your place.

You truly couldn’t ask for a better, 24/7 access gym to call your own. It’s gritty. It’s local. And I think the business model is ahead of its time. Excited to come back here anytime I am in and around RVA.

Foster and Jake, you two are both awesome for bringing this gym format to life. Congrats to you both!

Love this addition to the RVA fitness scene. Incredible assortment of equipment in a spacious setting - from classic bodybuilding workouts to functional fitness training you’ll have what you need to get it done, and all on your own time. Flexibility, people and vibe of this place are unmatched, we wish there was a Westwood Athletics in Nashville!!

I cannot say enough positive things about this gym! In addition to all of the perks like 24/7 access (including holidays), state-of-the-art equipment, infrared-sauna, and cold-plunge, it comes with owners who care. This space was thoughtfully designed for its community, and is ever-evolving because of the care Jake and Foster put into the space. They listen to their members' needs and put heart and soul into facility. Westwood offers community for every type of athlete, or just a chill place to put your headphones in and get your workout done. If I could selfishly keep this place a secret I would, but it's hands down the best gym in RVA!

I’ve been a member here for the past 6 months, and an avid lifter for about 10 years. This gym has almost everything you want or need for a beautiful balance between strength training and HIIT. It’s never crowded. And being 30+ years old, the sauna and cold plunge have noticeably helped my recovery and kept me coming back. I believe the price point is representative of the quality of equipment and services here. I’ve recommended this gym to everyone I know in the RVA area.

The absolute best gym ever created. Unbelievable training space full of high quality equipment. Fit for whatever your training goals are, whether that’s bodybuilding, powerlifting, CrossFit, Olympic lifting or sports performance, it caters to everyone. Feels like it’s your own private gym. Great people and community.

This gym is a total game changer! My wife and I joined Westwood 6 months ago and couldn’t be happier. They are conveniently located right off of Boulevard in Scott’s with a parking lot. Everyone is friendly, you can come and go as you please with phone entry, the bathrooms are thoughtfully stocked with feminine products & hairties and everything seems to be constantly evolving and improving. Westwood has elite equipment, a private vibe and a 24/7 sauna in the recovery room.. what more could you want?

Nicest Gym I’ve ever been a member at. Excellent equipment. Members definitely respect the environment by rack the weights and putting everything where it belongs. After years of going to chain gyms, This is a very refreshing environment.

Westwood is truly a perfect gym. 24/7 access. Clean and well laid out. All the equipment you could want that’s not only pristine and new, but always available. A sauna and cold plunge. And full of like minded individuals that you actually look forward to seeing every day. This gym is my “third place” and I’m so grateful our city finally has it. If you’re at all into fitness or want to be, this is the place.

WWA fills a real gap in the gym community in RVA. 24/7 access; sauna and cold plunge amenities included; and a well-provisioned combination of rigs, platforms, free weights, and machines (belt squat! hip thrust machine!!) make this spot pretty unique.

The community is respectful and laid back, and the co-owners take feedback seriously and are clearly invested in WWA doing things differently and well. No pressure to spend extra $ or pushes to sign up for individual or group training - it really is a gym for people to hop in whenever, get a solid recovery or workout in, and be on their way.

Great spot and I’m really glad they opened up here.

For people who want to be able to work out independently (or with a trainer) and don’t want to go to a big box gym this is the solution. The space is so well curated and has everything you need, and the recovery room sauna and cold plunge really set it apart even more. There really is nothing like it in the city. Since leaving the chaos of crunch I actually look forward to coming to workout here !
