Moore Than Fitness

We are so f*cki*g proud of all you chickens!!!!!!!

We have gotten to participate in Barbells Not Bans for the past 4 years and it just keeps getting better 🌈

Richmond Strong is a CLASS act. Breanna Diaz, Laura Mae Lucas, BRANDI • WALKER, and Emergence Coaching thank you for making BNB come to life every year - we hope you’re feeling celebrated and appreciated and that you’re getting some rest.

The thing about gyms and fitness (and powerlifting as a sport) is that they can make you feel incredibly intimidated and alone - BUT IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY, and BNB is the proof. It feels like belonging and glitter exploded all over you the second you walk in.

And if you’ve been enough to participate in ANY way with BNB, you know how IMPORTANT it is for your spirit and body to explode with support and community ✨🌈

I hope that every single one of you in this picture, and every single person that helped this picture come to life, can take a moment to truly feel in your bones, Pride.

We love you, we’re grateful, we’re exhausted.

Happy Pride 🌈✨

The Weight Room thank you for hosting yet again.

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!
