They are so welcoming and don't give off a snobby attitude if they haven't seen you in a little bit. Each of the rooms have a different class that plays every other hour for 24 hours. Between Hot Core, Hot Buns, Hot Yoga, Hot Warrior, and so many more, I never get bored. The FX weight area in the back is equipped with plenty of equipment. The manager, Ashley is so friendly! While Hotworx is more expensive than your traditional gym setting, it's much more accessible (24/7 hours) than other boutique exercise experiences and is much cheaper than their competition.

It is HORRIBLE. I hate gyms and the overwhelming feeling of starting another plan to work out - but I had to. THEN I met Coach Chad. This guy is amazing; super smart about strength training but also really focused on being safe at whatever level you come in at. I come in complaining about pain in my knees and back and every time I train with him I feel I am getting stronger and doing work on my weaker areas. It feels like strength training and physical therapy with one stop in my day. The environment at the gym is fun, serious, energized, with a constant message that if you do the work today it will bring positive change tomorrow. All my sessions are different and individually planned for me. Coach Chad is definitely not boring! I really appreciate that while I am complaining that I don't want to be working out he is telling me what I am capable of and that I just need to commit to show up, keep going and the motivation will come. JSA is brand new, the equipment is incredible, Chad is awesome and it's really fun to watch the Olympic Weight Training clients while you work out! I seriously recommend going in and checking it out. It will do really well cause Chad is that good. It has far exceeded my expectations.

It is a great facility with wonderful coaches. The other members are welcoming and encouraging. They offer the variety I was looking for and my motivation and general fitness has improved! The owner and operator, Ryan, is very personable and knowledgeable. Also, two showers on site which makes life easier for anyone who exercises! Glad I found this gem in Baymeadows.

The atmosphere was similar to my box in San Diego, welcoming and encouraging to all, competitive and knowledgeable at the same time.

That process is too restrictive when new to a city on business or vacationing. Looking forward to returning when in town. Thanks for a great workout and T-shirt. Kris from San Diego

Registration was easy and could be done completely online, which makes check-in easy when you're in a rush and only have 30 minutes to workout. Their location is in a larger building tucked away and off of Phillips Highway, so convenient for those that live in Nocatee or off of 210. There was a group of people there for the promo class. The owners David and Lauren went over the Physwell model, which is an interesting and new concept, where they have physical therapists in their gym. Their main focus is to try and prevent injuries, so they have you warm up doing movements and stretches that will help mitigate those injuries. In addition to having a lunch time workout, they also have morning and evening classes. They went through the stations we'd be doing, and breaking us up into groups, every minute we moved to a different station, five stations total and we did this circuit three times. I consider myself in good shape. I like working out and run five times a week, but this workout made me feel pretty out of shape, leading me to believe I really need to do more HIT training. This thirty minute workout was perfect for those that are trying to squeeze in a workout and definitely worked my muscles. They were also providing a promotion that if you sign up for a membership they'll waive the enrollment. Pros: -30 minute workout, easy to fit in your schedule -Facility was large and clean -Able to modify workouts for all fitness levels -I like that they focus on injury prevention Cons: -Prices appear to be higher than normal gym memberships. Tips: See if you can try a class before buying a membership

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.
