After months of saying I’d write this, I’m finally delivering my official report on Club16 in Richmond, and I can honestly say, as a frequent gym-goer, fitness enthusiast & gear geek, it’s been a fantastic experience from day one.
The gym is bright, well maintained, clean and has a great energy about it. The equipment is always in good shape, and there’s a solid mix of people who all seem focused but friendly. What really makes this place stand out, though, is the staff.
Personal Training with Nate Bergeron
- My dad and I have been training with Nate, and we couldn’t be happier. He’s incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and makes every session both productive and fun. He reads the room perfectly, always adjusting the workout to match how we’re feeling that day. If we’re tired, he adapts. If we’re feeling good, he challenges us.
Scheduling with him is smooth since he’s communicative and flexible, which makes it easy to stay consistent. Additionally, he’s just great to talk to — every session includes plenty of laughs and easy conversation, which makes the hard work feel a lot lighter.
The Chelsa Report
- Chelsa is one of those few receptionists who can completely change the mood of your day the second you walk in. She’s genuinely warm, funny, and always seems to have time for everyone. Whether she’s greeting members, answering questions, or keeping everything organized at the front, she does it with total attention to detail and professionalism.
What stands out most is how much pride she takes in making sure everything runs smoothly. If something needs fixing, she’s already dealing with it. If someone looks confused, she’s the first to help. She’s the type of person who makes the whole place better just by being there.
Liam
- Excellent hair, great personality and doesnt hesitate to offer suggestions on routine/training schedules. Super knowledgable!
The Rest of the Team
- Every staff member I’ve met has been friendly, respectful, and helpful. There’s a clear sense of teamwork among them, and that creates a comfortable, positive environment for everyone who comes in.
Final Thoughts
- Club16 Richmond has been an all-around great experience for both my dad and me. Between Nate’s excellent training, Chelsa’s professionalism and personality, and the welcoming staff as a whole, it’s a place that genuinely makes you want to show up and put in the work.
I’d recommend this gym to anyone in the area looking for a positive, well-run, and motivating place to train!
