So far. I'm loving Steel Mill! Honestly, I never had the desire to do CrossFit. I did an On-Ramp…read moreonce when I was living in LA, but really thought it wasn't for me. Eight years later... It just happens that this gym is walking distance from my house because any further and I know that I just wouldn't go. So... CrossFit it is! :) I still drive there... I decided to join the 6-week challenge and (as I write this review), I think it was the best decision I have made for myself in a long, long time. It's not so scary. The program is fantastic as long as you don't fight the Universe and follow your nutrition plan AND do the workouts. It's pretty darn simple: Do what you're supposed to do and have a good attitude. Trust the process... The best things about this gym are the members, coaches and classes. I can definitely say that this has been the most supportive environment I have ever experienced when it comes to going to the gym. Everyone is genuinely supportive and welcoming from day one. Of course it's because they know the hell you're going through while doing the WODs [Workout Of The Day] and struggling through the skills they teach here as a newbie or someone who hasn't worked out consistently (like me) in a good damn while. Perhaps misery loves company? Perhaps, but I think we all enjoy the endorphins...afterwards. I have never seen any judgement here and there are all kinds of people with many shapes, sizes and physical backgrounds that come to this box that will cheer you on to finish that last rep. Really pretty cool and motivating. In addition, they offer plenty of class times and a full gym area complete with machines, weights and all sorts of fun toys to get your butt back into shape. It does get better... Overall, if you're on the fence about joining this CrossFit gym - I would recommend trying the 6-Week Challenge whenever they offer it to see what it's all about and commit to that. I know I had to read reviews on Yelp for over a year to finally decide on coming to this location. Hey. That might be you. Who knows? But I can tell you that I love the coaches who teach at this location and that can make all of the difference in the world. Good humans. Check 'em out!

I highly recommend Elite Fitness to anyone who is serious about their health and fitness.

HyperSwole is a local owned Sports Performance Gym (Owned and Managed by Jacksonville Axemen…read moreMatthew Thornton). Matt Thornton is the Head Strength Coach/Program Designer for the Hyperswole Sports Performance Gym. 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. You always have the option to follow your own workout OR work with one of the coaches to develop a custom tailored workout to meet your fitness goals. All of the artwork around the gym is by Coach Matt. It adds to the uniqueness of the gym and compliments all of the familiar gym equipment. There are rowing machines, xbex bikes, LifeFitness Resistance machines, cable cross-over machine, dumbbbell free weight area, squat and press rack area, and a dedicated deadlift area. Also available are heavy punching bags, weighted/fitness balls, kettlebells, boxes, monster tire/hammer, plate weighted push sleds and even an indoor basketball hoop! 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! You can always stop by and talk to Matt or one of the coaches with questions. For an idea of workouts or more details check out the website hyperswole.com

I like it here! I think there's something for everyone. I tried their boot camp classes, they have…read moremorning or evening weekdays and weekends. It's a locally owned gym and not a chain. The morning classes are early but worth it if you want a circuit training workout that's less demanding. The evening classes are physically demanding. I'm 28 and fairly fit and find it difficult to keep up, and sometimes I need that. Hey also have Pilates and spin by appointment. And they have gym use, but I've not tried those classes or options. Overall I think I got a good deal on Groupon for the bootcamp. The facility is clean, except not all gym goers sanitize after themselves and well that's out of their control so if you're concerned with germs be sure to sanitize before and after your use of weights and machines. The machines may not be the newest out there but they work and there's nothing wrong with them but if you're looking for the gym with tons of machines and cardio options then this may not be for you. But if you want your butt kicked by some bootcamp classes join ASAP.

I started with her after having lost about 90 pounds on my own. During this year I have lost the last 50 pounds and she has changed my body in amazing ways. She has shaped my body and taught me so much about fitness. I will continue seeing her 3-times a week because it is so important to me to stay in shape and I continue to see great results. Can't recommend her and her trainers enough! I also take the classes when I can and they are intense and you will see results if you stick with it!

If you're serious about growing physically and pressing past your boundaries safely and professionally, this is the place for you! Led by owners Catherine and Patrick Henigan, their passion and dedication set the tone for a phenomenal experience. The atmosphere is welcoming yet you immediately feel a sense of responsibility to put in work - bring your best. The best part? This facility has a smalltown feel with everything you need to bust your ass and breakthrough to the next level. There are no frills or places to hide. In Catherine's words "this is YOUR workout!" Excellent instruction is provided but the rest is up to you. You have to want it and if you do everything you need is there for you to break past what you think you're capable of and exceed your own expectations. I took the Booty Bootcamp class on Friday evening then got all bold and took the Striking and Conditioning class Saturday morning. I can say that both were tough for me but in the best way! I love the one on one attention to form and how I'm allowed to realize my own potential. Sure I was pushed beyond what I thought I could do. However there was a space where I saw that I needed to decide what I desired because that will help my trainers to better assist me in getting there. I showed up wanting to improve my health by improving my body. I left knowing that there's much more to this for me than that. I'm up for the challenge! It's all about smaller classes for a more personalized and individualized approach. There are also semi-private and private training sessions available in addition to Bad Ass Barre. It's been just about 7 months since the doors opened and I know Jax Fitness Academy will be around for decades to come.

If you're looking for group fitness that keeps you motivated, accountable, and seeing results, I highly recommend F45!

Just wanted to post an update…read more After my 1 year was up, unfortunately I had to stop coming because my availability was no longer the same. I was away for roughly 4 months, and in those 4 months, I gained between 12 to 15 pounds, and the belly was back in full force. I could easily pass for someone in their second trimester, and I'm a dude. And sadly, it was once again hard to tie my shoes without holding my breath. So I readjusted my schedule & priorities, and have been back at F45 for 1 month. In that month, I have lost 2 pounds, and the belly is not as round, but definitely still there. It's kind of hard to erase 4 months of damage in 1 month. And I know the damage was just from the lack of activity since my diet has always been horrible, and will most likely stay horrible. But the best part? I can once again tie my shoes without holding my breath. LOL. Moral of the story, prioritize fitness and your health, even if you eat like crap.
