Let's get this out of the way. Freedom Fitness is hands down the best small gym in the area…read more What it is: A family owned gym that offers all the equipment you can expect from a big gym, but in a little package. There are two rooms, the main cardio/large weight equipment room and another room with all the extra goodies like kettle bells, TRX bands, battle ropes, etc. What I love the most about this gym is that it is never crowded. I have never waited for a machine or a set of weights. I have actually been the only person in the gym numerous times. They also have classes which are held in the little room. They have a strength training type of class with the owner, Jay. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like it has a cult following. They also have Spinning now, which I am a big fan of. They have two different teachers, and convienent times (morning or night). Both teachers are excellent. What it isn't: This is not your big box, crowded gym where there are 100's of people sweating all over each other. If you have experienced one of those, you know what that entails. Those big gyms have perks (child care, big class schedule, fancy locker rooms), but they come at a price (literally and figuratively!) Freedom Fitness is a welcoming place for people of all types of workout phases. You have grandma strolling on the treadmill in her khaki pants, to the big body builder types pushing 400 pounds on the chest press, and everyone in between. The owners are a nice family who know you by name. The gym is super clean, and everything is always in perfect working order. The only con - there is a pizza place next door! =)

There is an open room for rope exercise and there is even a shower/changing room. For the price you simply cannot beat this place.

I'm in my second year as a member here and look forward to many years to come!

There are plenty of machines and free weights so you shouldn't have to wait to excercise (at least during the hours i go. It may get busy later).

This is a very nice place.

The pool is warmer than PAC genesis (as well as both of Franco's pools work) The showers are exquisite with privacy curtains and shampoo and conditioner is provided by the club . Pelican athletic aka genesis only gives foaming antibiotic BS for the members in their showers too so FRANCOS trumping them on multiple levels and it's cheaper here for the year contract also! 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+.

The gym is pretty small (compared to larger commercial gyms like LA fitness or EOS) but it has everything you need! I came on a Friday around 11am and there were people in there but not crowded which was awesome! Theres really only one of each machine but i had no issue getting right on everything i needed. I was there an hour and a half. I did notice there was no music playing but i had headphones so that was no problem for me. All of the members were very courteous and pleasant. Someone even walked around offering bottles of water. I live in a large (over)populated city and let me tell you, that is not something someone would do! It was awesome. When i come to visit my sister i will definitely be coming back!

Snap is open 24 hours so it is very convenient if you work a night shift or a night person. I have been at 330 am and i had the place all to myself. In addition, once your a member of snap, you can visit any location anywhere in the country. Although there isn't a pool or tennis court, Snap is great for getting a decent workout. Major juice heads may not have enough weights but your average person will be fine. It costs around $46 a month for an individual membership.
