Here's a wonderful addition to the many other fitness centers in town. Although on the small side,…read morethis coed, clean one is staffed by four-year degree-holding professionals in sports medicine, physical therapy, nutrition, etc. For non-Shands, non-U.F. employees, membership is $19.99 monthly w/ a one-year contract. (Others pay $9.99 monthly as long as they work out a minimum of 12x monthly.) Orthopedics & rehabilitation are specialities here (many insurances are accepted), but this center is for general fitness as well, which is my reason for membership. If you want the assistance of a personal trainer (shared), you'll pay $75 per month; it's nice to be able to select what thirty day periods you want the extra help. There aren't equipment waits here unless you work out early (6:00 AM-ish), but the downer is the limited gym hours on Saturdays & full closure on Sundays. There is a parking garage behind the fitness center; parking is free w/ a validated pass. If you, too, rebel against socioeconomic-exclusive, pretty gyms filled w/ lots of pretty people in brand name workout clothing, this just may be the place for you; it's not the ridiculous $52 monthly you'll pay there for dressed up college kids working part-time to set machines for you. If you aren't in the market for young beauties of both genders, you don't require a pool or more machines than what's necessary to get a good workout, you like to manage your $$$ well, & you just want to get fit or stay fit, this fitness center might be for you. At $19.99 monthly, it's a good deal. If you're still not sure, you can check out the center yourself for free for 7 days.

They recently renovated the entire gym, so the locker rooms and reclined hydromassage tables are new. They have plenty of space and plenty of workout stations! The staff is always busy and polite. It seems that the treadmills are atill old though, and plugging into them with headphones can be dicey. You have to wiggle the cord to get proper contact. It is like this on the stationary bikes too, so here's room to improve. There is really too much to go over in just one review, so I will say that this is the best money per workout (less than $1 per day)anywher You can have a free workout, if you want to join, and it is easy to pay for, if you want to stay!

I gave Crunch Fitness a fair shot, but overall it just didn't work out. The equipment felt…read moreoutdated, and I often questioned the cleanliness of the space. The spray bottles seemed watered down, and I never really felt comfortable touching the machines. Even the water from the fountains had a strange, old taste. The gym was almost always packed, which made my social anxiety worse. The layout was also kind of awkward and didn't flow well, making it harder to find a space to work out comfortably. I eventually decided to cancel my membership, did it in person to avoid any surprise charges, based on reviews I read. I couldn't justify paying for a place that made me feel more stressed than motivated. Since canceling, I've joined a local HIIT program and started hiking on weekends, and honestly? It's been such a better fit for me physically and mentally. Crunch might work for some, but it just wasn't the right vibe for me.

I had 5 strokes including brain stem. Though each stroke is unique and I've had other refuse to work with me due to the uncommon nature of my injuries, Dr Layne has been steady and constantly adjusts to exactly what is presenting and what I can do in a session. I started with about 15-20 min sessions and do have the goal of getting to competitive weightlifting. His knowledge, compassion and willingness to tweak everything to what I need in the moment show me his depth of knowledge and experience surpasses most and his demeanor is a blessing. Highly recommend, I'm sure he's awesome for those not injured as well.

Andrew Layne is the nicest & most low-key guy but he's constantly assessing your form so there are no lifting injuries. He is a wealth of information & very well-schooled. He offers frequent free classes covering everything from nutrition to specific lifting techniques. Every single person I've met here is friendly and nice. The gym is well kept & clean.

We then got into a verbal altercation while the staff member whom was his friends just sat there. Completely unprofessional, hostile, and unacceptable behavior but he was a staff members friend. About an hour later, I left the gym and found my car tires had been deflated. The timing was not a coincidence. I had been goin to here for a lil while and the worker knows what car I drive cause they're always in the front of the building smoking. I was forced to call the police and file a report for vandalism. When I went to the gym the next day I saw the staff member whom deflated my tires and another member at the desk. I asked for the manger and they lied and said he wasn't there. Then began screaming at me to get out of here. All I was doing was asking for the manager to make a complaint. The manager must have heard them screaming because he then showed up but to my surprise he then asked me to leave as well. All I wanted to ask was if he had seen the footage on the cameras. Then the staff member tried to threaten me saying get out of here or else. When I said or else what he tried come at me aggressively still screaming get out. The culture at this gym is toxic. Staff are clearly friends with each other and protect their own, no matter how out of line they are. Complaints against employees go nowhere. The environment is full of wannabe tough guys talking trash, and staff do absolutely nothing to intervene or help members who are being disrespected. If you try to complain about a staff member they will kick you out, cancel your membership then keep your money. This is what happened to me. I understand staff doesn't get paid much so they don't care about their minimum wage jobs and treat customers without respect but a certain level of professionalism is at least expected and definitely not being aggressive with a customer for asking for a manager and screaming for them to get out. If you value your safety, your property, or basic professionalism, stay far away from this Chuze Fitness. I strongly advise anyone considering this location to rethink it.
