Maiden Motion

"After moving to Richmond in March 2022, I needed to (1) find somewhere to workout, and (2) somewhere to meet people. Maiden Motion is a magical place that has fulfilled both of these needs! It is genuinely a judgment-free community of empowered women who support one another… Anna has created a true Girl Power Paradise, and I’ve been a Maiden now for almost 2 years. Whether it’s barre, cardio dance or 305 Fitness (which are my favorites, though there are others!), classes acknowledge that not all bodies look and move the same. We are always encouraged by instructors to listen to our bodies and adjust as needed because there’s no shame in modifications. There are lots of themed classes and social events on the calendar regularly… And the option for private classes if you have a special event, which was PERFECT to celebrate my 30th birthday with friends. Added bonus: there is an app which makes it so easy to purchase memberships or credits, book classes, check your status on a waitlist, etc."

"This studio celebrates women and provides a supportive environment to everyone who walks through the doors. Maiden Motion offers the best vibes - positive, inclusive, fun, and empowering. If you're looking for a girl power studio, you’ve come to the right place! After recovering from hip surgery, I started coming back to Maiden Motion classes which I attribute in part to my speedy recovery. The studio offers varied class options that are both challenging and fun! I look forward to themed classes and of course, anything TSwift related. Thank you Anna and the entire Maiden Motion staff for creating this wonderful community that I feel lucky to be part of!"

"Came here for the fitness, stayed for the community. When I first thought of joining Maiden Motion the cardio dance classes they offered were “Musicals” and “T Swift’s Midnights” and I knew this place was for me. I not only found a fitness studio that feels like every class is catered to my level and interests, but every instructor I truly love and enjoy! Anna offers a place where women can connect through fitness and social activities by hosting brunches, wine nights, and book club after classes. Come on, work out with a kickboxing class or yoga class but hang around for the biannual retreat if you love women who support women!"

"Best workout studio in RVA. So welcoming, I already feel at home after joining just a few months ago. Instructors are encouraging, positive, and genuinely care about everyone who walks through the door. You could be a beginner, veteran, or get back into the swing of things easily if you’ve taken a lot of time off working out. Owner also schedules lots of non exercise related activities (book club, wine nights) so it’s an amazing way to get to know people and make friends."
