Talk to a coach, reach your peak.
At Wareing's Gym, we're more than just a fitness center - we're a family. For nearly a century, our name has been synonymous with physical fitness, and we're proud to continue that legacy. Since 1923, our family has been dedicated to helping people achieve their fitness goals, and we're proud to have been a part of the Virginia Beach community since 1960.
Our Story
Our story began with Bill Wareing, Sr., a renowned physical culturist in New York City. His son, John Wareing, continued the tradition, opening the first Wareing's Gym in 1960. John was a legendary figure in Virginia Beach, known for his dedication to fitness, his bravery as a war hero, and his impressive strength. As we expanded throughout the '80s, '90s, and 2000s, Wareing's Gym became a local fitness leader. Today, the torch has passed to a new generation, ready to tackle current health epidemics. Our enduring success is rooted in hard work, real results, strong relationships, and a good laugh.
Our Culture
Since 1960, Wareing's Gym has made it our mission to be the best part of people's day. We strive for every member to leave the gym feeling better than when they arrived. Our success has never relied on equipment or programming nearly as much as it has the very people we consider ourselves fortunate to coach. By treating our people less like clients and more as an integral part of our culture, we create an environment that minimizes judgment while promoting support and a sense of community among one another. While it's vastly important to see people's bodies feeling better, the true goal is to sustain an environment where people are free to feel better about themselves.
Our Mission
"Our grandfather opened the first Wareing's Gym in 1923. Our father opened his gym over 45 years ago (1960) in Virginia Beach. The success of our grandfather and father was because of their 'always give more than you take' attitude, with their 'no frills', 'no nonsense', just results approach to proper exercise. When our father turned the gym over to us in 1978 we maintained a commitment to these family traditions and beliefs. We have always strived to do the common things, uncommonly well, and it's not the quantity of instruction that we do, but the quality of instruction that we do that counts. Because of these feelings and beliefs, we know that there is no other advertisement like a good reputation. Our gym's reputation shows the integrity and honesty of what our name represents. We truly believe the level that we give our members affects everything else in our gym, and our lives. We must never be satisfied that our instruction is fairly good, or good enough. Nothing short of our best is acceptable."
