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.

This is a truly unique place. The teacher here is Becky and she is an elderly woman who has been…read moreactively studying yoga for many decades. I have never met a more significant yoga teacher than Becky. She can trace her yoga lineage back to India a few generations. She has learned from some of the major yoga practitioners of the 20th century and some who are credited with bringing yoga to the United States. She truly teaches yoga holistically for the person that is in front of her. this is not the kind of school you go to if you want to learn 200 hours of Asana. This is the school you go to to be a lifelong yoga practitioner, student, and teacher. If you want to learn yoga, real yoga, as deep as you are willing to go, this is where you go. We drive from about an hour away to go to class, and it is worth every second. It is affordable from a yoga class perspective and she will teach you what you need to learn. And you will learn far beyond what you ever expected was even real. Would you like to stare into the abyss? Would you like to uncover deep truths about reality? This yoga school is not for everyone and that's okay. But this yoga school is for me. I only wish I had begun going earlier and could go more often. Bring your Self and your patience, or don't hahaha

I was peeking through the glass and a woman got out of a car in the parking lot and asked me if she could help. I showed her the pass and she let me in and told me I could go inside and work out.

I did a few of my exercises using dumbbells. TThe description of a two star review about sums it up, II've experienced better.

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'm just beyond excited and so grateful to be welcomed at my new club !!!!!

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+.
