Body Arc

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working Brandi for a few weeks and she’s amazing! The space is so welcoming and the entire mindset is more about health and nurturing your body, which I find really encouraging, healthy and inviting. I don’t feel intimidated to try new things here. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I looooove this gym! It's immediately welcoming and not an intimidating environment at all. You can tell it's as much about building and allowing space for community and healing as much as it is about individual understandings of what health means for you. The murals and intimate space allow for a more personal touch too. Would (and have) recommend!

Fantastic experience: I’ve attended a couple of body inclusive yoga sessions that Body Arc hosted in collaboration with Tiny Bones Yoga and Fatties of RVA. This was one of the first places I’ve felt completely comfortable in my own skin, as it relates to fitness spaces. I was encouraged to do what made my body feel good and provided with support and modifications without feeling guilty or shamed. The coaches here are incredible. Nate, Brit, Gabby, etc. have all answered questions for me and are vocal advocates of making fitness culture more inclusive. Thank you Body Arc for creating a space where I feel safe, welcomed, and free to exercise without the anxieties I typically feel in gyms.

Fantastic experience: Body Arc is the GREATEST place to train in Richmond and honestly the world. This is the most inclusive space for EVERY body filled with love and kindness. Everyone should train here because it's a magical accepting place filled with the best humans ever.

Fantastic experience: Awesome to finally have an inclusive gym in Richmond! I have never felt super comfortable in a gym until moving to this one. This would be a great place for anyone who has ever felt uncomfortable in a traditional gym setting. I have been working with my trainer for a few months and really appreciate finding someone who helps me meet my goals and makes fitness fun.
