While it is pricey, it can be worth it if used properly. I especially love the amount of classes that are offered across the 3 locations although some of them I wish were offered at different ones or different times but that's not something that can really be controlled and is up to who the instructor is so I get it. My favorite classes are dance attack and Bodypump. Highly recommend!

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.

I am a regular at OTF University and OTF Butler Plaza. Yesterday (08/06/2020) I ventured over to the Millhopper location for the very first time to use the gym and visit my favorite Coach Cosmo. I had never been to this gym before and sadly had to use a GPS to find it as I never ever go over to that side of town. Once I arrived I parked my car and got in line to workout. The line was pretty long and it was full of new faces I have never seen before. People were very friendly and talkative while waiting in line. Once inside the gym it is a big L Shape with treadmills and rowers on one side of the room and the weight room on the other. It was super nice. I will say this gym is a little smaller than Butler and University, but it is the oldest location in Gainesville and they were able to see the small size and make the other gyms bigger because of this. I highly recommend this gym if you're looking for a great workout.

After 15 years of inactivity I went on a backcountry hiking trip and it did not go well. In my…read moreyouth I hiked the southern portion of the Appalachian Trail, doing about 15 miles a day. On this recent trip an eight mile hike took all day and it felt like I was about to get heat stroke. Heavy breathing, had to take a break every 15 minutes. That was it. I was about 50 pounds overweight, had a poor diet and no clue how to get started. I gave Swamp Fitness a call and met with Jared. We spent an hour and half talking about where I was at physically and emotionally, where I wanted to get to and why, and what I was willing and wanted to do. All these things were important to match me with the right trainer. Do you want to do weights, cardio, gym workouts or work at home? They can accommodate whatever you kind of program you think will work or suggest one that will, and if it doesn't, it can be changed so it does work. I have been working with Jonathan as my trainer. He is great to work with. He has been able to push me when needed and is able to adjust our workouts depending on how good I'm doing that day. Even when I'm not at my best, we still get in a great workout and I leave feeling good about the session. If you don't know where to begin or it has been a while since you have tried to get healthier, I hope you give Swamp Fitness a try. I have lost 40 pounds, but more importantly can now go up the stairs without it being a chore, take a walk without my hands tingling, get out of the chair without having to push myself up with my arms. It is worth doing and I am glad that I did. At this point I have started to work out on my own and have kept up the routine. I'm not going to say I love going to the gym, but some days I really do. I've got Swamp Fitness to thank for that.

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.
