    Body pump!
    Daisy S.

    This place gets SO busy! When I worked night shift I used to spend my days here, but now that I work a regular shift it's much harder. Sometimes the classes are just so full and it gets so hot. Overall this gym has a really good class schedule and awesome instructors. The machines are in good condition, too.

    The Brooks YMCA is a great space for individuals and families of all ages with over 125 group exercise classes value added, 2 great floors of wellness equipment, pool, therapy pool, and a significant charitable impact in south Jacksonville. The Y is definitely worth a visit when you are in the area.

    I was so glad to get back to my gym and the classes I took today were awesome! I did the Body attack with Nicole and Bodypump with Jen and Erin and loved it! Everyone is nice here and it's so good to see Rita and everyone!

    The Brooks Y is one of my favorite places to be. My weightloss journey lead me hear and with everything that I went through to get here this is home. This is the only gym I can stay at for hours and be busy the entire time. The staff is professional and kind and they make you feel like family. I will always be a member at the Y.

    Join and we both save! Tell em Debbie sent you

    See all

    Best workout spot and value in Jax. Fitness classes can't be beat. My personal favorite is Bodypump.

    How long can you reserve a pool lane for?

    Due to safety protocols, reservations are for 45 minutes. At the end of your time slot, the lifeguards will clear the pool deck to clean and sanitize before the next group arrives.

    Is there a steam room?

    Hello! Thank you for your interest in our Brooks Family YMCA. Yes, this location does have a steam room. Please feel free to stop by the facility at any time and we will be happy to give you a tour and show you the amenities.

    Does this location have a sauna?

    YES!!!! I go there almost every day :)

    Can someone tell me when is a quieter time to go here,I have a son who suffers from anxiety and would be nice to ease into our routine.?

    Monday through Friday the Brooks Y opens at 5AM. Only a few regulars are present, no wait for treadmills nor equipment. I find that this is the quietest time to workout at Brooks Y. Saturday and Sunday the Brooks Y opens at 7AM. Sunday 7AM is… Read more

    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.
