After participating on my collegiate soccer team and working with many individuals pursuing athletics at a similar level, I found it less inspiring than helping folks who want their everyday life to be better because of what they do in the gym.
I opened this gym with the intention of reaching the furthest person out, the person who is currently not even thinking about the gym, and that is exactly who we serve.
My job at River City Fit is to inspire and create a safe working environment for my staff, so that they can inspire our clients to consistently believe in themselves.
When I’m not at the gym, I’m with my lovely wife Hanna, who has inspired me to be a better husband, father, and business owner than I could have ever imagined.
Jill
Meet Jill
I’m a former professional dancer who has transitioned into a fulfilling career as a personal trainer. My journey in dance has profoundly shaped my approach to fitness, giving me a unique perspective on the body’s capabilities and the joy of movement. As a mom of two incredible boys, I’ve balanced the demands of parenthood with my passion for health, wellness, and movement. With my sons growing up and leaving the nest, I’m embracing this new chapter with excitement, curiosity, and gratitude.
I specialize in working with women and former creative athletes, including dancers, aerialists, and yogis. I aim to help my clients rediscover their strength, flexibility, and confidence. Whether you’re looking to refine your skills, rebuild after an injury, or simply find a new way to stay active, I’m here to support and guide you. I believe that fitness should be a celebration of what our bodies can do, and I’m dedicated to creating a positive, empowering environment for every client I work with.

Hello Richmond! My name is Alyssa. I fell in love with movement at a young age as a ballet dancer and danced intensively through college. After college, I slowly got away from dance, movement and worked jobs that required me to sit throughout the day. This lifestyle took a toll on me mentally and physically. Something had to change.
I hired a personal trainer and it was the best decision! That decision revamped my life by getting me moving, getting me stronger, and coming back to my best self. I was inspired to become a trainer and help others because of my journey. Now, I am a NASM certified personal trainer with about five years experience. I am here to empower and support the community (aka You!) to be their best, to be active, and to have fun doing it.
While away from the gym, I enjoy going to dance classes and yoga, spending time with my family and friends, and exploring the area. I also enjoy musical theater, which inspires me to audition for shows time-to-time.
Jenna
Meet Jenna
Jenna is passionate about health and fitness, promoting a healthy lifestyle through meal prepping high-protein, veggie-packed meals, and getting her steps in on the capital trail by running, rucking, or leisurely strolling. As a former VCU Field Hockey player, her love for weight training and lifting heavy never left her, and she satisfies her competitive edge on the indoor soccer field. She is also slowly ticking off the World Marathon Majors, with Berlin under her belt and her eye set on Chicago. Clearly, she doesn’t do well when she’s not active!
By day, she works for Booz Allen Hamilton as a safety expert, traveling to different sites to keep her clients safe from workplace hazards. In Richmond, she’s a captain of an Athletic Club for Semper Fi and America’s Fund and the Race Director of the newly established Escape Belle Isle 5K Run and Ruck. Jenna values creating positive domino effects and strives to set an example of an actively healthy lifestyle while managing her busy life. She hopes to create a positive ripple effect for everyone she encounters.

Here is What Some of Our Clients are Saying…
“Love this gym! I have belonged to other gyms in the past – this one is much more personal. Someone greets you by name when you walk in and all the coaches are invested in your success. My personal coach, Rashid, is awesome! He is very patient with my ability level (or lack thereof) and continues to encourage me. I am not a “gym rat” and definitely not in the same condition as a lot of the members yet I feel very comfortable and welcomed.”
“I love River City Fit. It’s a very fun approach to reach your health goals. Every coach is extremely helpful and personable. I love that I can come when I want and follow a dedicated plan just for me!“
“This gym is awesome! From the first time you walk in everyone is so welcoming and encouraging. The coaches are very attentive and always happy to answer any questions you may have. As someone who has struggled with working out regularly, I was apprehensive about joining but I’m so glad I did. I have my own workout plan customized to my needs which can be adjusted at any point for my schedule or even how I’m feeling each week. I cannot say enough about how grateful I am to have found River City Fit!”
