It's one of…read morethe best gyms I've ever been a part of, and I don't even take part in all there is to offer. It's convenient having 3 locations, especially with one being solely for women. 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.

Good compliment of equipment. I felt neglected by the owner Carly. He had no time for me and some…read moreof the recommendations he made to me were absurd IMO. He suggested 1 meal a day and a full hour of cardio and a full hour of weight training each day for 6 days each week. This is called overtraining and low blood sugar most of the day. While I agree with his premise of a whole foods plant diet, his assertion that you can eat as much as you want as long as it's a whole plant food is simply not true. You cannot be drinking fruit smoothies and carrot juice all day, nor can you eat pounds of potatoes. He pronounces himself as an authority/expert and his ego is out of control. The fact is you can accomplish the same thing by being in a daily calorie deficit and NOT drinking your calories. Overtraining is not the answer, nor is starving yourself especially if you are older

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.

As far as fitness spaces go, this one is welcoming and non-judgmental, which can be hard to find! Will is a great coach who spends time encouraging, correcting, and pushing each person who attends his classes. He is obviously very knowledgeable and designs workouts to progress in effective and fun ways. Will recently designed a tailored small group weekly class for our local roller derby team, and he quickly figured out what our bodies need and how to help us get to the next level as athletes. We are very glad to have developed a relationship with Will and Elevate!

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!

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.

Here is the deal with GHF. They seem to have a tier as to which location they prioritize. While…read morethere is a great selection of group fitness classes, especially at the main location, the Women's Center does not seem to be a priority. They have been systematically eliminating the Body Pump class, which is very popular resulting in the remaining classes being very crowded to the point that they sometimes run out of equipment. Now, the fans in the group fitness room (where Body Pump is held) have not been working for about a month. The room is crammed with bodies and though there is air conditioning, it is not enough. We have complained and are told they are working on it. Again, it has been a month. We are convinced that this would not happen at the other two centers. Unfortunately we are a captured audience with really no other options.

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.
