Dan (the owner, he's awesome) felt my best match was Sally...let me tell you, he hit it out of the park! She's the BEST trainer I've ever had! I come out of every work out feeling accomplished and I'm already seeing tremendous improvement! Everyone there is awesome and treats you like an old friend when you walk in the door. 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!

Seems pricey, but I'll have to try some of the classes before saying its overpriced

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 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.

While it is pricey, it can be worth it if used properly.

My favorite classes are dance attack and Bodypump. Highly recommend!

I needed something that was different, challenging and fun. This PB studio will let you take your first class for free. I thought it would be a breeze to get through it, but it wasn't! I was challenged the entire time - activating deep muscles that I didn't realize I wasn't fully using! Don't let the "low-impact" aspect of these workouts fool you into thinking they're easy. The exercises are challenging and get you moving in ways that promote flexibility, balance and strength. If you're a UF student or employed by UF in any fashion, you're eligible for a discount! The instructors are also super nice and will guide you through the movements so you get the most out of each class. It's almost a month since I signed up and I can't get enough! I'm officially hooked!

I purchased the Groupon 3 months prior to my wedding to get into shape. It was a great deal! Great…read moreenvironment, friendly staff, and awesome workout. Once that month was completed, I was offered a first month deal, $99 for the first month. I NEVER signed a contract. I was told it was a first month only deal. Once that was complete, I went to another gym, due to a month membership costing me $150. On my next credit card statement, I noted that I was being charged a monthly membership of $149, that I never signed up for. After contacting the location 4 times via phone, I spoke to a young lady who said she would bring this to the owner's attention and will cancel the membership (which I never signed up for). Fast forwarding to my next month credit card statement release, I was yet again charged another monthly membership fee of $149 (which I never signed up for...). After calling the location AGAIN 4 times and leaving multiple voicemails, nobody returned my call. I got to the point where I was calling the location about once a week and leaving a voicemail each time. Close to my next credit card statement, I finally got ahold of Erica. At this point, I had another pending membership charge (so a third charge for a membership that I never signed up for). She stated that she will bring this up to owner's attention, she will cancel the membership (again, never signed up for a membership), and she stated that I signed a contract the when I signed the safety liability paperwork... She also informed me that they rarely check messages and the best way to contact the owner is via email... Coming to a conclusion, after about 12 phone calls, 8 voicemails, and 5 emails later, I have been charged 3 times for membership I never signed up for... **Yes, this is Great place to work-out. The work-out was one of the best work-outs I have had, BUT horrrrriibbbllle management!!!! Just please beware and proceed with caution, ESPECIALLY when you sign your safety liability paperwork.

It's also great for the experienced CrossFitter because you can easily track your improvement and maybe see where in your training your weak.

Target Demographic for this gym seems to vary but ages range from 25-65 with all varying fitness levels and specialty in taking care of previous injuries. I took my first class with taylor Allen and she really made me feel taken care of while still feeling like a "regular" at their studio.
