Moore Than Fitness

Overwhelmed fits for today ✨

Thank you to our members and to our biggest fans for voting us RVA’s best gym for the second year in a row.

Thank you for being here with us and for being what makes us who we are.

We want to be a gym where people of all shapes and sizes and backgrounds can feel brave enough to try fitness.

Fitness isn’t an industry that’s known broadly as being kind or welcoming. We want to do things differently.

Every body deserves to move and feel strong ✨

You’re welcome here, you’re invited here.

Up next: ’s Barbells Not Bans Deadlifting Comp on the 14th! Join as a volunteer or spectator 🌈

Happy Pride! Happy Lifting!

Congratulations to Jonathan Estrada for being the Chicken of the Month ✨

Here’s what his trainer has to say:

Jonathan has made such a great amount of progress in such a short amount of time, and he isn’t slowing down anytime soon.

From the very beginning, he’s been open to challenging himself more and more with the best attitude. In addition to his 1:1 training he’s been making the Saturday mobility classes a regular part of his routine where he shares his sunny personality with the other members of the class.

He is leading by example by making small, consistent changes with big impact, and approaching things thoughtfully and with curiosity.

It makes a lot of sense why we want to celebrate you this month, Jonathan! Congratulations and take time to celebrate you, too.

Congratulations to , our April Chicken of the Month! 🐥🐥🐥

Nyema used to be a personal training client of Russell’s way back in the post-covid shed gym days and has returned to Moore Than Fitness to be a part of the semi-private training program with Kate and August. She has integrated herself beautifully into the semi-private community and always shows up ready to give what she has to her workouts. We couldn’t be more proud of you Nyema, and we’re ecstatic that you’re working with us again. Way to go!

Say welcome to our newest trainer and intern !

We’re thrilled to have them both on the team 🐥🐥🐥

They are quickly blending seamlessly into the MTF culture and we can’t wait for you to meet them!

We were so thrilled to get to announce the Chicken Of The Month at this years birthday party!!

Jay has been joining us on Saturday mornings for our 9am $10 community circuit class for just over a year.

He has been a SHINING example of what we hope our Saturday classes can be: Jay’s squats have gotten better and stronger over the past year because they show up consistently. Jay is so warm that on a day where he’s not there everybody goes, “where’s Jay?!?!” Jay shares feedback with us when they have it! And Jay always invites us to all of the parties at Unkindness Art (and the VIBES are IMMACULATE)

We’re better together with JAY FERRIER ✨ (featured in this photo in the mask in their chicken window - their preferred spot for group photos)

Keep Chicken Ass Jay! We love getting to do fitness with you!

Happy birthday to us and to you!!

It’s time for a party again ✨ you know we love a party around here!

Can I get a *hell yeah brother* for small local businesses?! In THIS economy?!?!

It’s not always easy to show up, but it’s usually very very worth it.

We love this little coop and can’t wait to celebrate with you 🥰

Well wouldn’t you know it’s time for another Moore Than Fitness Party!!

We’re turning 3 this year and you’re invited to come celebrate with us!

The 9am community class is ON and tickets will sell out quickly. The mobility class is canceled that day.

Per usual, orange mesh crop tops, mimosas, and catered deliciousness will be abundant!

See you there! *we’ll have a Chicken of the Month to announce*

Oh and raise your hand if you think you’ve voted for as ’s Best Fitness Studio AND best Gym MOORE times than ?!?!

Have you checked your inbox today?! We’ve done a whole newsletter re-vamp and your first one should have arrived in your inbox yesterday!

We have a new Chicken of the Month!!

It’s ’s client Michael. Here’s what Monica has to say:

I’m so happy to select the 🐓 of the Month, and from the very first moment, I knew who I was going to choose.

Michael was one of my first clients when I started at this wonderful gym. And from the very first moment, I knew we were going to make every session the best it could be!

Michael is Michael, and when I say that, I mean it with so much joy. In each of our sessions, we work hard, but there’s always time to chat… we literally talk about the most random topics… in each session, his “I know, I complain a lot” is nothing more than an “I can keep going,” “What’s the next exercise?”

Michael is a shining example of discipline and dedication, and even though kettlebell swings aren’t his favorite, he’s always ready for every exercise, and his improved mobility and strength reflect this!!

I’m so proud and grateful to work with clients like Michael!!

Pura vida, Michael!

MOORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR SEMI PRIVATE PERSONAL TRAINING ✨

+ are the trainers who lead the Semi Private Personal Training program and classes and they’re thrilled that yall love the program so much that we had to add a new time: Monday, Wednesday, Friday at noon!

When you visit our website (moorethanfitness.com) the first thing you’ll see is “free intro” - that’s where you schedule a time to sit down with Russell (the HBIC here at Moore Than Fitness). Russell will ask you excellent questions about yourself: what you’re looking for with exercise, what kind of trainer you might like, and whether or not one on one Personal Training would be the best fit for you, or Semi Private Personal Training.

Semi Private personal training is half the cost of one on one personal training AND it’s moore attention than a large group fitness class AND you still get to workout in community with other people who also want to get stronger and feel better AND you get to learn from two Personal Trainers instead of just one!

Wow. That’s so many great things all at once👩🏼‍🍳😘 (chefs kiss*).

Does that sound like something you’re into?!

Sign up for a free consultation and we’ll do the rest!

The first noon class is THIS Friday 2/20 with . See you there!

Please welcome Calvin Green to the Moore Than Fitness training team! We couldn’t be more excited to have him in the coop.

Tell us a little about yourself Calvin!

HELLO, I’m Calvin Green!

I was born in Atlanta, Georgia, and raised in a middle-class military household. Considering that my family was already very physically active, it was no doubt I was going to love fitness. At the age of 18 I discovered the ISSA program and became a personal trainer. With the help of my father and 2 mothers, and being in a military family, I got to hone my craft.

Since I was a little chicklet, my parents had me in all sorts of physical activities, including ballet, tap, and jazz dances, football, and baseball, which I despised. I loved the other sports, but continued my passion for the arts, going to school for musical theater. Meanwhile, I kept myself regularly in the gym. I went on to then receive certifications in strength & conditioning, nutrition, and the business of personal training.

Although I was a gym person, I still felt out of place in traditional gyms. I moved back to Atlanta and started doing freelance training 1 on 1 and group sessions. Eventually I realized George wasn’t a fit, so I started my search for an actual gym that suits me and my love for fitness, and my community. That’s when I found Moore Than Fitness. Since then I can’t imagine being at another gym. They welcomed me with open arms. I can’t wait to share my passion for training with all of you!
