Steel Valley Fitness sits at 12 East Luray Shopping Center, Luray, VA 22835 and honestly it's been a game-changer for Page County since opening summer 2023. Reach them at (540) 669-5183. They're open 24/7/365 (yes, even Christmas), with staffed hours Monday through Friday 9am-12pm and 1pm-5pm, plus Saturday 9am-12pm. Here's the backstory. When Valley Health closed its Luray fitness center in November 2022, locals were driving 45 minutes each way to Harrisonburg or Front Royal just to lift. That's a lot of windshield time. Tommy Delo, who'd been managing and training at the old spot, stepped up and purchased the whole operation. The facility is almost 9,000 square feet with free weights, machines, cardio equipment, and 52 feet of turf for athletic movements, mobility work, and functional training. I walked in expecting that stale-gym-carpet smell and it wasn't there, which counts for something. Membership runs $40/month with 24/7 access to stairmills, treadmills, bikes, ellipticals, dumbbells, barbells, all of it. Pretty solid deal for this area. Not sure yet? Grab a three-day pass for $35 and test it out. By July 7, 2023, they'd already signed up their 600th member, which shows you how badly the community needed this. Located in historic downtown Luray, Virginia, just a short drive from Luray Caverns. Tommy brings personal training chops from East Palestine, Ohio and he's big on the whole-person approach (heart health, lungs, mental wellness too). Got questions? Hit them up at steel.valley.fit@gmail.com or check their social media where they post member progress and community stuff pretty regularly.
