Get Busy Getting Stronger

Total Fitness Club

Our doors first opened in the late 1950s as “Health Club Spa,” and we have been here ever since. Edward Kissell purchased the club from Herman McCloud in 1989 and the name was changed to Total Fitness. We are the oldest gym in the Tidewater area and have been home to NFL and NBA players, Olympic lifting champs, pro wrestlers, powerlifters, bodybuilders, and even a world champion arm wrestler.

We have helped our members lose hundreds of pounds and get in shape for military service and schools. We have helped others prepare for various collegiate sports such as wrestling, track and field, football, basketball, tennis, and more! While we may not have the most aesthetically pleasing gym or the most advanced equipment, we do have over 50 years of experience and tradition, and most importantly, we know how to get the job done!
