Matt Thornton is the Head Strength Coach/Program Designer for the Hyperswole Sports Performance Gym. HyperSwole also has Chris Philips (ONNIT Certified Trainer) and Sean Rutgerson (Head Coach for Jacksonville Axemen/USA Hawks Rugby League Teams). All the coaches are always available and approachable for Fitness Programs, tips, personal training. Hyperswole is not your typical gym. From a quick glance you may think that the gym is intended only for the hardcore fitness\gym fanatics. While the gym does have dedicated members, HyperSwole Sports Performance Gym has a program for every one regardless of age, fitness level and goal. The daily group fitness classes (that can be signed up online/mindbody app) are also posted on the main gym monitor. KidSwole Classes for ages 7-14 are held M,W,F as well a new offering for Senior fitness classes. You always have the option to follow your own workout OR work with one of the coaches to develop a custom tailored workout to meet your fitness goals. All of the artwork around the gym is by Coach Matt. It adds to the uniqueness of the gym and compliments all of the familiar gym equipment. There are rowing machines, xbex bikes, LifeFitness Resistance machines, cable cross-over machine, dumbbbell free weight area, squat and press rack area, and a dedicated deadlift area. Also available are heavy punching bags, weighted/fitness balls, kettlebells, boxes, monster tire/hammer, plate weighted push sleds and even an indoor basketball hoop! As the COVID-19 Pandemic is top of concern with many, all of the gym members and Coaches follow the best practices of proactively sanitizing equipment before and after use. The small group classes also allow to spread apart with space for each participant. While the gym can be busy at times, it is never overly crowded to the point where there is a concern or you have to wait a long time for equipment or machine. This is especially true for typical the peak times of other gyms or fitness clubs. HyperSwole also allows members to additionally sign up for 24 hour gym access (for those who prefer to work out on off hours or at their convenience). Definitely worth a trial! You can always stop by and talk to Matt or one of the coaches with questions. For an idea of workouts or more details check out the website hyperswole.com

Not comfortable in a "normal" gym setting? No problem!…read more I was so excited to have a Hotworx close by! I've tried almost all the "trendy" exercise clubs, and Hotworx is by far the best. 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.

I'm in town from San Diego and dropped in to Crossfit Total Control. I'm relatively new to CF (3…read moremonths in), and dropping in to an unfamiliar box makes me a little apprehensive. I guess it's normal, but there was NO reason for concern! I emailed CF Total Control on Sunday, and Russell (owner/coach) replied to me right away to let me know they'd love to have me. I showed up early for a 7AM Tuesday class, signed the waiver and jumped right in. Crossfit Total Control is an excellent facility - plenty of room and equipment, clean and everything was in good condition. Tom, the coach, and all of the athletes welcomed me. We did a good warm up, followed by stretching and then 2 short WODs. Tom gave great instructions and recommended scaling if necessary. The hour went by fast, and I got a great workout. I plan to drop in again before I return to California. Drop in fee was $15 or purchase a shirt for $25. I purchased 2 shirts! I had a great time getting my butt kicked this morning! If I lived here I'm pretty certain this would be my home box!

I finally decided to start looking around for new gyms and see which location fit my needs. I tried a few gyms before I discovered SoFit Athletics. I am glad to say that I took the plunge and joined! 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.

I knew I wanted to find a gym that focused…read moreon building and strengthening muscle because at 50 yrs old I am seeing how the body starts to lose/break down muscle mass, strength ability and physical weakness has come on quickly from just natural aging. 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.
