Our Story
DNA Movement’s mission is to spread new energies for healthy human movement and performance amongst its local community and surrounding areas, for the benefit of improving the lifestyles, levels of performance and longevity of the lives of customers it serves.
A Refreshing Change
On the whole, the following three types of fitness facilities that currently serve the Charlottesville and Albermarle County area have been identified, of which DNA Movement is proud to be unique from:
-
-
- The traditional large membership based gym – e.g. ACAC – where, the motivated go in, train in the way they feel safe and know well, leave, repeat for months or years and their fitness plateaus, whilst others motivated to change their lifestyle, join, adhere to a program for a short time, get bored or other life events crop up and the 11 months left on their membership goes to waste.
- The ‘CrossFit’ style gym, which has become very popular very quickly, also developing into somewhat a sport of its own, but which often has a very ‘performance at all costs’ approach and associated injuries as a result.
- Other small privately owned gyms which also have a personal and group training class structure but with more traditional style training methods and or without the offer of specialized training and massage and bodywork, completing the package.
