It is like this on the stationary bikes too, so here's room to improve.

Began with Dr Layne via Zoom about a year ago. Average weekly or twice weekly sessions. He's been…read morepivotal in me making advancement in balance, strength, coordination, sensory alignment, and many other items. I was a young stroke survivor following physic trauma. 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!!

My favorite classes are dance attack and Bodypump. Highly recommend!

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!

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.
