Virginia Competitor-Friendly and Old School Gyms

Here is a list of gyms that are either owned by competitors, are old-school, hardcore or are more modern and also encourage competitors to train there. If you are a competitor looking for a new place to train, a newbie competitor looking for a place to get started, or looking for a place to train while traveling - give these gyms a look.
