They recently renovated the entire gym, so the locker rooms and reclined hydromassage tables are new. They have plenty of space and plenty of workout stations! The staff is always busy and polite. It seems that the treadmills are atill old though, and plugging into them with headphones can be dicey. You have to wiggle the cord to get proper contact. It is like this on the stationary bikes too, so here's room to improve.

I had 5 strokes including brain stem. Though each stroke is unique and I've had other refuse to work with me due to the uncommon nature of my injuries, Dr Layne has been steady and constantly adjusts to exactly what is presenting and what I can do in a session. I started with about 15-20 min sessions and do have the goal of getting to competitive weightlifting. His knowledge, compassion and willingness to tweak everything to what I need in the moment show me his depth of knowledge and experience surpasses most and his demeanor is a blessing. Highly recommend, I'm sure he's awesome for those not injured as well.

I'm nearly 60 & have seen my body & attitude change so much for the better in the last 7 months that I've been attending classes at Layne Performance! It's the "Layne Effect"! Andrew Layne is the nicest & most low-key guy but he's constantly assessing your form so there are no lifting injuries. He is a wealth of information & very well-schooled. He offers frequent free classes covering everything from nutrition to specific lifting techniques. Every single person I've met here is friendly and nice. The gym is well kept & clean. The classes are for all ages & we all really have a lot of fun together while getting stronger! Give the "Layne Effect" a try, you'll be glad you did!!

Great gym! I've…read morebeen working out here for almost a year, and it's been great. There are several different areas to exercise, depending on your equipment preferences. If you like to lift and do weight training, this gym is for you. Downstairs there are a few different zones: cardio, circuit, cables, and the more traditional weight room. Upstairs is all weights. There are also two rooms you can use if you have the upgraded membership. The room upstairs has a few spinning bikes, light weights, and yoga mats for use with the workout database, which allows you to take a virtual class anytime. The downstairs CrossFit room is my personal favorite. The locker room is spacious and has showers and a sauna. For some reason, Fox News is always on in the women's locker room and I can never find the remote to change the channel. That aside, it's a great locker room. Price wise, this gym is the middle of the road between YouFit and Gainesville Health and Fitness. They frequently run membership specials. There's plenty of parking and the location is and accessible by RTS. The hours listed above are for the front desk/store; the gym is accessible to members 24/7.

This place is an absolute joke. I was putting weights away while another member was standing near…read morethe rack the member called me a "jackass." We then got into a verbal altercation while the staff member whom was his friends just sat there. Completely unprofessional, hostile, and unacceptable behavior but he was a staff members friend. About an hour later, I left the gym and found my car tires had been deflated. The timing was not a coincidence. I had been goin to here for a lil while and the worker knows what car I drive cause they're always in the front of the building smoking. I was forced to call the police and file a report for vandalism. When I went to the gym the next day I saw the staff member whom deflated my tires and another member at the desk. I asked for the manger and they lied and said he wasn't there. Then began screaming at me to get out of here. All I was doing was asking for the manager to make a complaint. The manager must have heard them screaming because he then showed up but to my surprise he then asked me to leave as well. All I wanted to ask was if he had seen the footage on the cameras. Then the staff member tried to threaten me saying get out of here or else. When I said or else what he tried come at me aggressively still screaming get out. The culture at this gym is toxic. Staff are clearly friends with each other and protect their own, no matter how out of line they are. Complaints against employees go nowhere. The environment is full of wannabe tough guys talking trash, and staff do absolutely nothing to intervene or help members who are being disrespected. If you try to complain about a staff member they will kick you out, cancel your membership then keep your money. This is what happened to me. I understand staff doesn't get paid much so they don't care about their minimum wage jobs and treat customers without respect but a certain level of professionalism is at least expected and definitely not being aggressive with a customer for asking for a manager and screaming for them to get out. If you value your safety, your property, or basic professionalism, stay far away from this Chuze Fitness. I strongly advise anyone considering this location to rethink it.

I avoid big box gyms because the atmosphere does not appeal to me - I don't want to watch TV while I work out or be waiting in line for a machine. My husband gifted me a membership to The Ark and it was the perfect fit for me. One on one training in an intimate atmosphere. Perfect for beginners to advanced weightlifters. Mike is a great trainer - very patient and understanding, who isn't bothered by having to explain a move 30+ times. If you're looking for a gym with cool people and great training, this is it.

I first got into crossfit when I lived in Miami. I found a "box" which is what most people refer to…read morethe gyms as that I loved. They treated me like family and always pushed me to be the best person I could be. It didn't matter if it was in a workout, or just life in general. After moving to Gainesville, FL I tried to find that same vibe. It wasn't an easy task, and sadly the other gyms in the area that I tried really put me off of crossfit. However I was lucky enough to have a co-worker, and friend, recommend B3 gym to me. That friend even went out of the way to get me the intro sessions, and what amounted to a month of crossfit. Skip ahead to my phone call to set up my sessions. Karen was really helpful, and even over the phone I could tell how excited she was for me to come and see the gym. First session I had with Corey, one of the trainers there. It kicked my butt, I mean I was huffing and puffing and felt like I was going to die. The whole time Corey cheered me on and told me not to give up. I did horrible, but I did it. Corey made me feel great about doing so poorly and encouraged me to keep on going. I finished my intro sessions and had to do that first workout again. I ended up crushing it, and went from not finishing it on time, to finishing it with a lot of time to spare, and I could tell that Corey was 10x happier about that, than I was. This made me instantly feel like part of the family! Fast forward to almost my third month at this gym. Every time I walk in I feel like I belong. No one is judging me. I even ended up signing up for a savage race with them, and the gym's intramural open. The first open workout almost killed me, but I received nothing but encouragement. The next morning was savage race.... My 338lb self had to do a 5k with all these obstacles. They all pushed me, and even waited for me to catch up for the obstacles. I ended up doing all but 4 obstacles and finishing the race. I wasn't even last in my age group which surprised me. Now I've done 19.2 with them and I wouldn't have it any other way. I've found my new crossfit gym, where I feel like part of the family! If you have a chance I highly recommend checking it out!
