While it is pricey, it can be worth it if used properly. I especially love the amount of classes that are offered across the 3 locations although some of them I wish were offered at different ones or different times but that's not something that can really be controlled and is up to who the instructor is so I get it. My favorite classes are dance attack and Bodypump. Highly recommend!

I was a member here for a few years as it was right around the corner, and it was a very mismanaged…read morelocation. The business model is to accentuate the 'community/tribe' vibe, while letting the actual equipment/facility sit in a state of disrepair and neglect. *I actually had to broker a deal with the UF Southwest Rec center to find AF a technician to repair an elliptical that stayed broken because 'we can't get someone out here to fix it.' A couple summers ago, the HVAC was out for more than six weeks. Not only did management provide nothing to compensate for the misery of the few members who suffered through their workout, the owners solicited their membership to cover the cost of the air conditioning repair! A quick visit will illustrate how filthy it is, and since nothing is enforced, guys in dirty work boots or vagrants with dogs are more than welcome inside. I've posted my experience several times before, and they inevitably take it down. But I'll just keep telling my cautionary tale about this AF location. Avoid it like the plague.

I am pleased to be writing a review of Carly - I have found his support to be extremely valuable…read more About 10 years ago I experienced a major medical incident which brought my life as an athlete to abruptly end. I subsequently gained over 60 pounds and was unable to work out. Over the last 2 years, I began a process of reclaiming my health and was able to drop about 45 pounds mostly by cleaning up my eating, however, my weight plateaued, and I felt somewhat stuck. After conducting an internet search of area fitness studios, I came upon Zen Fitness, and followed a link at the bottom of their page to Instagram, and there began to find out about Carly. After mulling it over for about 3 months, I took the dive and sent a message to inquire about training packages. I was extremely nervous about being judged, not being able to complete the exercises, and the pressure to sign up for some packages. I knew after my first appointment that I had taken the right step. The gym is clean and is staffed by a community of great people who promote healthy eating (vegan) lifestyle. Carly does a great job at reading non-verbal cues and knows when to push a little bit more as well as knowing when to take a break. I have been in the gym for about 2 months now, he asked me if I noticed any differences and it took me a while to formulate a response. Here is what I know, a lot has changed over the last two months; I am happier, I have more energy, and my body is starting to show definition. Prior to working with the studio, I felt stuck on my journey to get my body back. Now I feel supported, encouraged, and much more highly motivated. Thanks to support from Carly I feel confident that I am moving in the right direction.

I have been coming to Elevate fitness since they opened last year. I have always been someone with…read morea gym pass and have even done personal training in the past. Never however, have I worked out harder than I do at this gym. The workouts change daily and each one challenges you (workouts are a mix of strength, HIIT, and cardio). I have been doing the noon and afternoon group fitness classes (Elevate has early morning, noon, and evening classes). I love how I don't need to think about my workouts, they are always planned out perfectly by Will the owner and trainer. I always get a real workout rather than just walking around a normal gym confused and leaving after a mediocre attempt at a workout. Will coaches you throughout the class and tailors the weights and exercise to your ability while pushing you to work your hardest. I have seen great progress since I've began working out here and am growing stronger. I have done exercises I never thought I could, and even those I was always too scared to do. I can only imagine that his personal training is also top notch and even more personalized. Will is a great motivator and sincerely cares about his clients. Group classes while always tough, are also fun and the people at this gym make you feel like a big family. If you want to see actual progress in yourself, join this gym!

They make you feel comfortable here. They also have group, one on one and couple trainings. Boxing classes, boot camps, etc. Last but not least they are extremely affordable and will work out payment plans with you if you want to pay as you go. I say, if your gonna do it, you gotta go for it, get the 48 sessions, you get a price break and I promise by the end you will see an amazing change and be ready to sign up for another 48!

I went through 3 trainers in a year and was ok with that as they can control when somebody leaves. However I canceled my personal training 2 months in advanced of when I wanted to stop and I was still charged. They can enroll you in training at gym but cancellations have to go through Corprate. Corprate was notified of my wish to cancel by training staff but never canceled it. So I was charged an additional 2 months... and despite numerous attempts I have not Ben given a refund. Now I froze my membership since I would be having surgery and not using gym. The guy at front desk said it was fine and would b frozen starting aprill 1st... yet lo and behold I get billed for aprill. Upon calling gym they said it was never frozen. So they will freeze it now but I can't get a refund for last month even though they were ones who screwed up. I will now be suing them for all the money they owe me and never using this gym again.

This place is an absolute joke. I was putting weights away while another member was standing near…read morethe rack the member called me a "jackass." 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.
