For many months, I'd been struggling with chronic lower back pain. I was getting chiropractic…read moreadjustments, doing rehab, and finally had to get a cortisone shot to put the constant pain at ease for a moment. It was the one thing I was trying to avoid, as I do my best to heal naturally and without meds when I'm hurt. I told myself that I would do it anyways with the intention of going back to a gym after the shot and strengthening my core so I can avoid this pain even after the shot wears off. I needed guidance, though. I have learned from the many years of doing any kind of exercise on a solo basis wasn't doing the job. Either I wasn't motivated enough to push myself hard enough or I wasn't aware of the bad form I was using or I was just doing exercises that would exacerbate my back and knee issues. I did a lot of research, as I do, and thankfully found this gem (get it?) Colin got in touch with me and I mentioned my health concerns ad nauseum. He made me feel very comfortable and confident that I could do this program while also preventing future injuries. The first week was rough. I thought I was still somewhat fit, but was slapped in the face with reality. I was determined at age 39 to get in better shape so that I avoided my back issues in the future. That first month took a lot mentally and physically, but the coaches were there the whole way to help when I had questions or concerns with any particular exercise. They alternate metabolic and strength training days from Mon-Sat and have several classes each day. The classes are going to involve a lot of body weight training combined with some free weights. You will be active 95-100% of the 45 minute class. They stress, constantly, the importance of using correct form which is an absolute must in keeping your joints protected. Fast forward nearly 7 months and I'm absolutely sure that I made the right choice here. Owners/Coaches Colin and Adam are exceptionally committed to their community and to your health. They check on you outside of the class and provide helpful tips in whatever you might be struggling with. Part-time Coaches Jillian and Brian are pretty amazing as well. You won't be disappointed with the people here. My previous constant back pain is gone and I'm feeling stronger every month. I could not recommend this place enough and I look forward to further growth as I continue my journey with TFW.

I began my journey at TFW Julington Creek back in November. At the time of joining I weighed 286…read morelbs. I felt lethargic, wanting to nap every afternoon. I ate terribly and felt miserable all the time. I was a pre-diabetic. My blood pressure was elevated. I knew I needed change. Then I met Coach Adam, Colin and Jake. Coach Adam sat down with me and we went through nutrition, eating habits, goal plan & more. I was nearly 26% body fat. The first week was tough. The practices are meant to push you. The coaches encouraged me to go further while helping me know my limits. 6 months later I can say I never expected to be where I am today. I've had to buy all new clothes. I'm eating better than ever before. I'm NO LONGER Pre-Diabetic and my blood pressure is normal. I have dropped 61 pounds while gaining muscle weight and dropping fat. I am now at 13% body fat and watching it all disappear. IF YOU want change in your life for the better, join us at TFW. It's the real deal. My wife now joins me too and we both have made life changes for the better! TFW is like family to us and I am so grateful for my friend Wes suggesting this gym to us. Thank you Coaches Adam, Colin and Jake. Thank you TFW family for encouraging me. You won't be disappointed!

Ashley is not only a coach, but she is also a mother who understands the daily struggles we as…read morewomen go through after we have a baby. She listens, is understanding and patient; but will kick you butt in a heartbeat (in a good way of course). She is also full of amazing meal prepping short cuts which have made "planning" my daily meals less stressful. I began this journey as a prediabetic stressed out mom that would get winded walking a block down the street. My sugar is now within normal limits and I am doing weighted squats, ball slams, and pushing myself harder and harder every session. Ashley has truly been a blessing to me. I still have a long way to go, but I know I am not just losing weight and getting in shape, but I am also getting healthy the RIGHT WAY!

If you're serious about growing physically and pressing past your boundaries safely and professionally, this is the place for you! Led by owners Catherine and Patrick Henigan, their passion and dedication set the tone for a phenomenal experience. The atmosphere is welcoming yet you immediately feel a sense of responsibility to put in work - bring your best. The best part? This facility has a smalltown feel with everything you need to bust your ass and breakthrough to the next level. There are no frills or places to hide. In Catherine's words "this is YOUR workout!" Excellent instruction is provided but the rest is up to you. You have to want it and if you do everything you need is there for you to break past what you think you're capable of and exceed your own expectations. I took the Booty Bootcamp class on Friday evening then got all bold and took the Striking and Conditioning class Saturday morning. I can say that both were tough for me but in the best way! I love the one on one attention to form and how I'm allowed to realize my own potential. Sure I was pushed beyond what I thought I could do. However there was a space where I saw that I needed to decide what I desired because that will help my trainers to better assist me in getting there. I showed up wanting to improve my health by improving my body. I left knowing that there's much more to this for me than that. I'm up for the challenge! It's all about smaller classes for a more personalized and individualized approach. There are also semi-private and private training sessions available in addition to Bad Ass Barre. It's been just about 7 months since the doors opened and I know Jax Fitness Academy will be around for decades to come.

I have been here for a year, and everyone who does the trial ends up signing up for a membership. It is tough but very rewarding - I see results in my body and feel stronger with each workout.

They taught me one way of healthy eating, which made a huge difference in the way I look and feel. Capstone trainers take the time to show you the proper form and technique and they push you to higher limits! Christina helped prepare me for my first Bikini competition and I can't thank her enough! Her knowledge and patience were critical during my competition prep. This gym is by far the best out there!
