My plan worked well... I was already in the habit of coming in 3 times a week when the new year rolled around, so now I could focus on the work! Raegan is our Fit Forever coach/ trainer and she is awesome! She is very knowledgeable about training and bodies, pushing and supporting us, and we are seeing results! Each of us had a different starting point in our fitness journey and she has made the appropriate individual adjustments to our training. I know I am stronger and have increased my cardio capacity, which is very motivating. Having a regular group to train with, to bitch with, so high five with is also very motivating... definitely a part of what keeps getting me there on those days I don't feel like it!

From the owner: Group Training running morning to night Monday - Friday! Come try us free with our 2 week trial!read more

I start off…read morethe week at yoga with Melissa, love stretching and pushing my limits with Heather's barre class and can't wait for fun at zumba on Wednesday mornings with Tammi. Kendra and Suzanne's morning workouts challenge me, with Louise I always learn something new about the human body and each of them help me to feel energetic and strong. The whole staff is friendly, eager to assist (shoutout to Sarah, Catherine, Bobby and Gavin!) and there are classes in the evenings as well. BFF offers 24 hour access to all you need to stay in shape whether you attend a class, hire a trainer or just pop in and do your own thing with the array of equipment offered. I'm a fan.

There wasn't any trash lying around and the bathrooms were well maintained. The location itself is the largest one I have been to with a cardio room, a free weights area, and two rooms full of machines. Also each area had treadmills, stationary bikes, and elliptical machines. I'm not going to lie, after going here I am spoiled.

Let's get this out of the way. Freedom Fitness is hands down the best small gym in the area…read more What it is: A family owned gym that offers all the equipment you can expect from a big gym, but in a little package. There are two rooms, the main cardio/large weight equipment room and another room with all the extra goodies like kettle bells, TRX bands, battle ropes, etc. What I love the most about this gym is that it is never crowded. I have never waited for a machine or a set of weights. I have actually been the only person in the gym numerous times. They also have classes which are held in the little room. They have a strength training type of class with the owner, Jay. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like it has a cult following. They also have Spinning now, which I am a big fan of. They have two different teachers, and convienent times (morning or night). Both teachers are excellent. What it isn't: This is not your big box, crowded gym where there are 100's of people sweating all over each other. If you have experienced one of those, you know what that entails. Those big gyms have perks (child care, big class schedule, fancy locker rooms), but they come at a price (literally and figuratively!) Freedom Fitness is a welcoming place for people of all types of workout phases. You have grandma strolling on the treadmill in her khaki pants, to the big body builder types pushing 400 pounds on the chest press, and everyone in between. The owners are a nice family who know you by name. The gym is super clean, and everything is always in perfect working order. The only con - there is a pizza place next door! =)

I love this place so much and I can't wait to be back tomorrow and see what in the gift shop and go for another workout! Thank you so much Amy Gatti and all the other wonderful women who greeted me and even gave me a beautiful purple colored FRANCOS tee shirt.

I'd like to make it clear that I've been going to Franco's on and off literally since the day it…read moreopened in the 1980s. I even worked there in college and this is a first-hand review of my experience and my feelings about how the club handles the safety of its' older members, two of whom are my parents. The fact that Franco's got my original review taken down instead of absorbing the feedback and addressing safety concerns shows they care more about their reputation than safety. I stand by my original review... I'd like to reiterate, please enter at your own risk. There are trainers and employees who are not vaxxed and working closely indoors with members in their 60s, 70s, and 80s who could be at risk because of the selfishness and irresponsibility of Franco's, it's staff, and policies. Is there a vaccine mandate in Mandeville? No. Can businesses implement one? Yes. In my opinion, to hide behind the, "no mandate" defense is lazy and puts profits before safety. We were incredibly disappointed and horrified to learn one of the trainers who works with my elderly members including my dad, had Covid and was unvaxxed. How many days do you think this trainer showed up to work as a carrier before testing positive? It's unclear and scary to think about. Of course getting Covid isn't anyone's fault... But to knowingly and willingly go to work in an indoor environment with people who are elderly and choose not to be vaccinated, all with permission of your employer, is dangerous. I don't think it's unfair or unkind to warn people of a potentially unsafe and dangerous environment. I'd like to offer a suggestion - if you are not going to require vaccinations of your staff, I'd recommend only having those trainers who are vaccinated, teach/train members 60+.

Went in recently to upgrade to a black card so that I may frequent other locations. I knew my monthly cost would go up but felt as though I should have been grandfathered in for the annual fee. It rose from $43 to $53 for me just switching membership levels. I'm not okay with that and feel as though they are not honoring loyalty.

The machines are undersized in the updates were truly unnecessary. As I was going to leave disappointed I figured maybe they updated the black card items available for use as well. They did but meanwhile there was no employee for the 15 minutes. I stood there to give me access to the Hydro lounges. I also wanted to talk to them about when my next billing cycle was so I could cancel my membership. Way to go planet fitness, you upgraded and did away with the 30 minute circuit workout and changed other standard equipment for updated crap.
