Lots of times if I don't know where a machine is or how to use it, there is some near by you can ask and willing to help or show you. When I go the Gym Jax, I'm more motivated and ready to put work in than I have ever been. I'm greeted every day by a smiling staff member. It's the little things that mean the most. Plenty of equipment and machines so it's not a long wait on one particular machine. If it's something you really want to use most likely someone will let you work in with them. I've never been to a Gym that makes you feel like you belong than this one. It's my happy place and I look forward to going every day.

I was not active at all prior to staring at OTF. They still welcomed me in and made me feel comfortable even though I had no clue what I was doing. They offer different levels of workouts depending on your activity levels. I started out on the lower tier and have already worked my way up to being able to run and jog -- I am really seeing a difference. The workouts are pretty intense but it's a take-it-as-you-can style. They never make you overwork yourself or do things your uncomfortable with. I really enjoy the group setting and having the coaches giving direction because it encourages everyone to keep up the pace and to work as hard as they can! It can be a little intimidating but now that I've gotten into a routine here I don't see myself stopping. I'm seeing changes in my stamina and my body already and I'm looking forward to challenging myself even more as time goes on. I recommend coming in and consulting with a coach to get started, they even offer a free class or two if you're new!! No reason not to come give it a try.

They have about 6 full time coaches on staff. Each class has 2 instructors. You do a 5-10 minute warmup, the coaches go over the exercises for the day then you get started! The workouts vary from cardio, strength, or blended. They are about 40 minutes and you get an all over workout. If you're a gym member, which I am as after only 3 weeks on the challenge, I realized how much I love it, they have ~quarterly fun events. Usually it's something to do with beer :) It's a great way to meet new people and have a great time. Please check out this gym. First workout is free. They have all kinds of different payment plans to help fit your budget!

HyperSwole also has Chris Philips (ONNIT Certified Trainer) and Sean Rutgerson (Head Coach for Jacksonville Axemen/USA Hawks Rugby League Teams). All the coaches are always available and approachable for Fitness Programs, tips, personal training. Hyperswole is not your typical gym. From a quick glance you may think that the gym is intended only for the hardcore fitness\gym fanatics. While the gym does have dedicated members, HyperSwole Sports Performance Gym has a program for every one regardless of age, fitness level and goal. The daily group fitness classes (that can be signed up online/mindbody app) are also posted on the main gym monitor. KidSwole Classes for ages 7-14 are held M,W,F as well a new offering for Senior fitness classes.

As the COVID-19 Pandemic is top of concern with many, all of the gym members and Coaches follow the best practices of proactively sanitizing equipment before and after use. The small group classes also allow to spread apart with space for each participant. While the gym can be busy at times, it is never overly crowded to the point where there is a concern or you have to wait a long time for equipment or machine. This is especially true for typical the peak times of other gyms or fitness clubs. HyperSwole also allows members to additionally sign up for 24 hour gym access (for those who prefer to work out on off hours or at their convenience). Definitely worth a trial!

I started coming to F45 Deerwood this year after having been to a few different locations…read more(Jacksonville, Nashville, Orlando) and it's pretty solid. It's not been my favorite studio overall, but they offer convenient times for classes and the workouts are always great, even if the classes aren't full or super high energy. The two coaches I've had have been friendly and do a great job during classes to help correct your form or keep you on track. The space is plenty large and I've never felt overwhelmed with trying to fit in with the other members or all of the equipment, Overall, I'd stick with a 4/5.

I just finished up a free week trial at F45 Training Deerwood and I am super happy that I decided…read moreto check it out. There are so many positives so let me start with the fact that you can sign up for a free, no strings attached trial. I downloaded an app, logged in, and whenever I wanted to attend a class I checked the days schedule and booked it. The app doesn't tell you how full a class is, but the website does. I did five classes all week and I think the hardest class was Wednesdays Docklands. I was sore all over and drenched. The classes switch focus from day to day. Some days you are working on more strength based exercises, some days you are shooting for a high heart rate, and some days they mix the two. All the classes in every F45 worldwide is the same on any given day and they change the classes every 10 weeks. You won't be stuck or bored doing the same thing week to week. The owner Chris is very nice and personable. The coaches are fit and illustrate good form when they run through their exercises at the beginning of each class. They encourage you when you are huffing and puffing. They will correct you when you are doing something wrong so you don't hurt yourself, which is super important. They are also just nice and positive. They motivate each person in class to strive for their best. That may be the number one best thing I can say about F45. If you are shooting to shred some fat and gain some muscle F45 is a place where you can make that happen. If you can eat healthy to go along with consistent visits you will be looking different in a few months. I purposefully went the whole week before I asked about membership. I really wanted to get a feel for the gym without thinking is this expensive or worth it. Prices vary based on how much you visit, which is to be expected. It is about eight times more expensive than my current gym, but twenty times better. If you can afford it and take advantage of what you pay for then you won't regret it. I can totally see the coaches encouraging you to come in or not miss a day, so you hit your goals. F45 is new so everything inside still has a nice new look and feel. If you are used to doing your own thing at a box gym, this experience is different, but not bad. Classes last about 45 min with one class a week going a full 60 minutes. No more wasting two hours at a gym slowly going between exercises and hearing bro's grunt as they try and out peacock each other. In all honesty you will mostly zone everyone out during your workouts here as you will be working too hard. I am not sure yet if I will join, although I loved my experience, but you should definitely take a look for yourself. I had a great week and you will too.

My mother and I started at 9Round after purchasing a groupon for a month membership. We enjoyed it…read moreso much that we purchased a full-time membership. 9Round is a full body workout that you can scale for your fitness level. If you're just beginning you can take your time at each station and learn new exercises, as well as, freshen up your technique for those you are familiar. A skilled athlete will also learn to work the heart and muscles in a new capacity. Everyday is different, I have been a member for months now and I still learn new exercises. It's challenging in a way that makes me excited to show up each day. Mark is a great asset to the 9Round brand. He is welcoming and adaptable to each persons fitness level and needs. There are days when we are some of the first people to come in and Mark sees that one of the stations isn't quite flowing the way it should and he makes adjustments. He is encouraging and helpful, and makes our workout days fun. Anyone who is bored with their current exercise routine or just wanting to get started should give 9Round a try, your first session is free!

I'm hesitant to write a review for this place because I want it to stay as a little known secret!…read moreThe place is not very big, but it gets the job done, and then some! My main reason for picking this place was the fact that its right across from where I live, so that's a huge plus! I tried the first class for free and was super nervous because I had no clue what to do. Thankfully Mark showed me what to do at every station so I was able to kind of keep up. The whole idea itself is so great and different that I knew I had to join the next day! It's only a half hour workout, but that's really all it takes! The 30 minutes actually seems to fly by because you're changing workouts every few minutes so it doesn't become monotonous. I'm excited to make this my regular workout spot! This place is great!

When I went to the front desk to cancel, the employee told me I was all set and that my last billing statement would be in January due to their 30-day notice policy. I specifically asked if there was anything else I needed to sign or do to confirm the cancellation and was told no. However, I have since been billed for two additional months and now learned that cancellations actually need to be confirmed in writing via email and that coming in person is not required. Which would have been fine if it would have been communicated either when I called or when I came in to cancel. If I had been given the correct information at either point, I would have taken care of it immediately. Extremely frustrating experience.

I was in Jax for the week meeting my girlfriend's family (heavy shots I know), and one of her cousins invited me to this F45 he goes to. I obviously agreed as I had been trying to find ways to sneak a workout in and I needed to show him, and the rest of the family by way of the transitive property, that I am an ELITE level athlete. The first circuit was all lower body and I was feeling pretty good. "I still got it" the hero said to himself.... In diabolical contrast, the first three exercises of the 2nd circuit had me talking to God as it went from bicep curls, to push ups, to pull ups back to back to back like the 00-02 Lakers. The rest of the trip I was limping due to lactic acid build up in my legs. Humbled me quick, but I need to push myself to absolute exhaustion as my NYC men's league starts mid-January again. What off-season??? In the midst of this blitzkrieg of arm workouts, "Don't Like" by Chief Keef came on to save me from giving up on myself. Thank you, Mr. Keef. Music was HITTIN in here. After class, I found myself wondering why I don't do more F45 classes as it is the most efficient workout you can do, BLASTING your full body in only 45 minutes is actually fantastic. Shoutout to Caroline, the instructor, as she put together a great class that got me better. Fatigue makes a coward of us all, and if I keep working out like this I will be on fresh legs come the 4th quarter of our NYC basketball men's league games.

This location is a bit of a trek for me from my part of Jacksonville, but I found the trek worth it, at least during my vacation months. F45 is a world wide gym chain where locals purchase a franchise. The workouts are between 45 minutes to 60 minutes, but mostly 45 minutes. You can sign up on the website or you can use the F45 app to book your class. The workouts vary depending on the day. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are more cardio based classes. Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday are more power and strength based. Saturday is a mix of cardio and strength. The classes on one day are all the same, but they switch from day to day. Every ten weeks or so all the classes change. Some new classes emerge and some old classes come back onto the schedule. You kind of never know what you are going to get and that is part of the awesomeness of it. We managed to go six days out of seven and we had our butts handed to us constantly. The one day we missed we were both severely sore and could barely move. This F45 has a large community of members that seemed pretty young. I think there were a few really friendly members, but for the most part people kept to themselves. The trainers though were very friendly. Dave was always a pleasure, friendly, and corrected my form when doing exercises with poor form. Membership rates are closer to what you find at Orange Theory as opposed to what LA Fitness costs. If you are looking for a cheap gym this isn't it, but if you can pay the $100+ dollar rates for monthly membership make sure you come at least 4-6 times a week and get your moneys worth. We joined a location a little bit closer to us, but we may come back here for the different atmosphere. I loved how they had a DJ on Saturday spinning tunes live as we killed ourselves picking heavy objects up and putting them over repetitively. This place is definitely worth a visit.
