What we do

Innovate, Educate, Motivate, Integrate
Clay Fitness + Nutrition has moved to Charlottesville and is ready to help Cville take fitness and nutrition to the next level. Clay Fitness + Nutrition is most well known for 12-week fitness programs that promote accountability, camaraderie, and measured results. While the 12-week programs are usually the best way to see change in our clients, we know that sometimes people can not commit to specific days and times every week for 12 weeks. We also offer drop-in classes that far exceed the typical industry standard exercise class. We think every class should be a positive experience. We offer innovative programs and classes that help educate the community, motivate people to make lasting change, and help them integrate these changes into their lives. Because our goal is to make every hour with us a worthwhile investment, we strive to teach clients something new about fitness, physiology, nutrition, and body mechanics. Whether in a class, a 12-week program, or a personal training session at Clay, clients are learning to make better choices about their fitness and health for life.

How we are different

Accountability, Community, and Measured Results
At Clay, accountability, community and benchmarking results are our hallmarks. Our instructors, coaches, and trainers know each client’s goals and capabilities. In classes at Clay people get to know each other and provide the support, motivation, and sense of community that promote attendance and commitment. At regular intervals along the path to improved fitness, we measure results so that clients can be fueled by and engaged in the process.
Pay when you come – not when you don’t
Clay is unlike a traditional gym where you lock into a membership for at least a year, pay your monthly dues for classes that are sub-standard, and get training that is uninspired. At Clay there are no memberships – you pay when you come, not when you don’t. The high quality of classes and personal training inspires clients to return, and every dollar spent is on training and nutritional guidance that result in positive changes to health and fitness.
