“Mu daughter takes homeschool dance lessons here. She receives so much attention and absolutely loves learning alongside her teacher.“

“I’ve been training at Ghent Fit Norfolk since November 2025, and it’s honestly been such a great experience. I found them after getting discouraged at large bootcamp-style gyms — those classes were very fun and motivating, but I wasn’t improving. I was actually feeling more pain and couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong. I felt I needed guidance from a highly knowledgeable professional who knows how the body moves and how to help people like me that have developed poor movement patterns. I started searching for one-on-one personal training in Norfolk and found Ghent Fit Norfolk.
Around the same time, I began physical therapy, and Luke, my primary trainer at Ghent Fit Norfolk has been amazing about working alongside my PT plan. He listens to the feedback I share from my PT, and some of my mobility/warm-ups even overlap with my PT exercises.
Luke built a program focused on correcting movement and strengthening weak areas. Since starting, I’ve felt more mobile, have fewer pain days, and move with more confidence at work and in daily life. A few times my schedule conflicted with my normal sessions, but other trainers were able to accommodate an alternate training time. I’ve worked with trainers Jorge, Emma, and Jordyn and the communication between Luke and them was seamless. They were aware of my pain, how to train and cue me, just like if my primary trainer was there. In my experience , they are all knowledgeable, friendly, and make sessions comfortable and encouraging, especially for introverts like me.
Ghent Fit Norfolk truly focuses on helping you move and live better, not just sweat harder. I couldn’t recommend this place more!“

“I have never enjoyed working out. I either didn’t push myself hard enough or I would push myself too hard. I found the process intimidating and stressful. Finding Preston Strength is the best workout decision I have ever made. I can’t wait to work out now and I’ve seen results faster than I expected to. Steve is encouraging, supportive, and a great cheerleader. He will take you from whatever fitness level you are at to where you want to go. He is incredibly knowledgeable in his field, and I love working out, knowing that I can trust what he has me doing without fear of injury. I can’t recommend his personalized workouts and training enough.“

“My last session with Ms. Briyanna G was very nice. She is quiet but, don’t let that fool you she is quite skilled in her art of getting you where you need to be. I look forward to my next session!“

“This is my PF away from home when I’m visiting family and I love this location! If I lived local it would be my home club for sure. It’s extremely clean and tidy, the staff is friendly, consistent and helpful, and the gym goers are positive, encouraging and give good vibes all around. The new plate loaded equipment and squat racks are a great addition- I can’t wait to see it once the remodel is finished.“

“Desiree is a coach that pushes you to do and be your best. Each workout is tailored to your personal fitness level. In the time that I’ve been coached by her, I’ve been challenged and seen all a lot of physical improvements. You are definitely worth the investment in yourself!“

“The team at RISE Personal Training is amazing. They are empowering, energetic, and you can tell they all really love what they do. I've had a recurring knee injury since high school and Charley took the time to come up with a specialized strength program to help regain strength and support. The flexibility of having classes offered both in person and online really lets you customize based on your current situation.“
