But opening at 6am with staff on weekdays, and still not opening the courts until 8am makes no sense to me. What is the reason? Otherwise, I enjoy this gym. Andrew, I saw your reply.

I started coming to F45 Deerwood this year after having been to a few different locations…read more(Jacksonville, Nashville, Orlando) and it's pretty solid. It's not been my favorite studio overall, but they offer convenient times for classes and the workouts are always great, even if the classes aren't full or super high energy. The two coaches I've had have been friendly and do a great job during classes to help correct your form or keep you on track. The space is plenty large and I've never felt overwhelmed with trying to fit in with the other members or all of the equipment, Overall, I'd stick with a 4/5.

I just finished up a free week trial at F45 Training Deerwood and I am super happy that I decided…read moreto check it out. There are so many positives so let me start with the fact that you can sign up for a free, no strings attached trial. I downloaded an app, logged in, and whenever I wanted to attend a class I checked the days schedule and booked it. The app doesn't tell you how full a class is, but the website does. I did five classes all week and I think the hardest class was Wednesdays Docklands. I was sore all over and drenched. The classes switch focus from day to day. Some days you are working on more strength based exercises, some days you are shooting for a high heart rate, and some days they mix the two. All the classes in every F45 worldwide is the same on any given day and they change the classes every 10 weeks. You won't be stuck or bored doing the same thing week to week. The owner Chris is very nice and personable. The coaches are fit and illustrate good form when they run through their exercises at the beginning of each class. They encourage you when you are huffing and puffing. They will correct you when you are doing something wrong so you don't hurt yourself, which is super important. They are also just nice and positive. They motivate each person in class to strive for their best. That may be the number one best thing I can say about F45. If you are shooting to shred some fat and gain some muscle F45 is a place where you can make that happen. If you can eat healthy to go along with consistent visits you will be looking different in a few months. I purposefully went the whole week before I asked about membership. I really wanted to get a feel for the gym without thinking is this expensive or worth it. Prices vary based on how much you visit, which is to be expected. It is about eight times more expensive than my current gym, but twenty times better. If you can afford it and take advantage of what you pay for then you won't regret it. I can totally see the coaches encouraging you to come in or not miss a day, so you hit your goals. F45 is new so everything inside still has a nice new look and feel. If you are used to doing your own thing at a box gym, this experience is different, but not bad. Classes last about 45 min with one class a week going a full 60 minutes. No more wasting two hours at a gym slowly going between exercises and hearing bro's grunt as they try and out peacock each other. In all honesty you will mostly zone everyone out during your workouts here as you will be working too hard. I am not sure yet if I will join, although I loved my experience, but you should definitely take a look for yourself. I had a great week and you will too.

Very disappointing first experience with HOTWORX Jacksonville…read more I signed up as a new member and, only a few days later, brought my husband with me as a guest. We drove approximately 45 minutes to the studio. Because it was Labor Day and the location was unstaffed, I was later notified by text that I had been charged a $20 unauthorized guest fee. I explained that I was a brand-new member, did not see the posted notice regarding the holiday staffing, and did not realize guests could not enter during unstaffed hours. I completely understand that businesses have policies, particularly for a 24-hour facility. My issue was never that a policy existed, it was how the situation was handled. Instead of simply giving a new member a warning or reminder for a first-time misunderstanding, I was immediately charged. When I expressed that I was disappointed, the conversation became unnecessarily defensive. I was told they had "camera footage" showing how many people entered after my code was used, even though I explained that my husband was my guest and my adult daughter was also a member who entered with me. The conversation then continued with an assistant manager saying she wasn't sure why there had been "a back-and-forth." At that point, I knew this was not the membership experience I wanted. My husband had actually enjoyed the workout and was considering joining, and my daughter had also recently signed up. Instead, two memberships were canceled and a potential third membership was lost over a $20 fee and, more importantly, the way a new customer's concern was handled. To their credit, they did allow me to cancel even though they stated I was technically on the fourth day of my contract, and they refunded my prorated dues and enrollment fee. I appreciate that and want to be fair in mentioning it. However, good customer service isn't only about enforcing policies,it's also about using discretion, communicating respectfully, and recognizing when a new customer has made an honest mistake. A simple, "We understand you're new; we'll waive it this time, but please be aware going forward," could have resulted in three long-term customers instead of cancellations. Unfortunately, the way this was handled made me uncomfortable enough that I chose not to continue my membership. I hope management takes this feedback seriously because the workout concept itself may be great, but the customer experience matters just as much.

The CrossFit Black Hive location is tucked within the St. John's Industrial Parkway (off St. John's Bluff). Inside it has all of the equipment you would expect from a CrossFit gym.

If your looking for a trainer who will help you reach your goal, give you the time and attention…read moreyou need then search elsewhere cuz THIS PLACE IS NOT IT . After searching the Web I finally decided to give this place a try and I called to make an appointment. I was told that a certain trainer (female, cant remember her name) would call me back to make an appointment but she never did. When I finally did get a hold of some one I went in and got a diet plan, my weight and body fat measured. I was told to call back and make an appointment for my first session. It took 2 days of me calling the gym and trainer and leaving messages for some one to finally get back to me. Once again I was told that I would get a call back to give me the their available days and once again no one called back. I gave it one last try and called them back and there was no answer. These people practically made me chase them down and are clearly not very interested in or care about customer service. If you want some one who puts the time in to help you I suggest you go anywhere else!

I've been waiting awhile now to leave a review to make sure OTF is truly as great as I initially…read morethought. My first work out was free- and HARD- but I loved it. Knowing myself, I signed up for 4 classes/month just in case I fall off the wagon in a few days/weeks. Less than a week later I was out of classes and needed to upgrade. I opted for unlimited. Did I join a cult? Possibly... I've always felt like a somewhat forgettable person that blends in with a group. I'm not the loudest, fastest, slowest, anything-est. But the staff and coaches learned my name. Then they learned my usual class times and jokingly called me out when I would come later in the morning. Then, they started to learn my speeds and physical capabilities and now push me when they know I can do more. I hate it/love it. No, I don't jump out of bed at 4:30am to make it to the 5am class. I'm not smiling or leaping for joy to get to the rowers. But by 6am, I feel like I'm on top of the world. I can't stop telling my friends and family about it. I've never been a fit person, but OTF makes me feel like I can be! The only regret is not starting sooner (how cliche, right?). I wish I didn't wait until I was 26 to start getting into the gym and my physical health. I can't change that so I'm looking forward to what the future holds!

I travel the country for work and this is one of the worst studios I've come across. They run the…read morestudio with an iron fist and are not very customer friendly. If you are more than 5 minutes late, you cannot take the class. They also demand you follow the workout template EXACTLY even though different customers have different fitness levels, especially considering the weight floor. No grey areas or flexibility. Again, I've been to at least 50-100 studios, I've seen MUCH beter. This is definitely a management issue, after visiting so many great studios this one stinks. Finally, they hired an absolutely insufferable instructor "Alyx". "Alyx" was obnoxious to deal with and quite unlikable compared to other OTF instructors (almost all of them are great). She was also overweight and out of shape, which is odd. Why would a fitness studio hire a coach who's out of shape? Kind of like relying on financial advisor who's about to declare personal bankruptcy. A head scratcher there..

The studio space is great and very clean, the class was awesome and I got in a great sweat. Overall top notch and I can't wait to try their other services.

He recalled my name after a single visit and also took time to show me around the studio before my first class. The instructors are kind and supportive. They'll suggest ways to modify poses without calling out -- or calling attention to -- any student in particular. Also, the diversity in students really stuck out to me in a positive way; I've seen folks of different genders, races, and body shapes and sizes in the classes, which felt reassuring as someone who doesn't match a stereotypical "yoga physique". Pricing is transparent, and the ability to book courses through the app is simple and straightforward. I'm glad I found this studio and am excited to keep going back.

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!
