If I could rate the owner/management with a negative number and if said rating would not negatively implicate or impact the staff, I would. Also, this feedback is not location specific. The feedback I am giving is representative of the Top down Fitness CF brand as this review features experiences I have had at three of their locations. I travel over an hour to any of the CF gyms because some* of the staff and instructors are exceptionally great. World-class. In an area where the amount of gyms is rivaled only by the amount of Publix grocery stores, (meaning there are a lot of gyms in the area to choose from) one might think that an establishment that has drawn in members, plural, from outside of its five-mile radius, that the owner/operators must have an incredibly positive work culture and that they really care about its staff and clients. Yeah... one would be wrong. It is because of a handful of staff and instructors that the loyal and not so local clientele are returning week after week. After years of membership with this gym, I think I may have reached my threshold. I have 3 gyms within 5 miles from my home. It might be time to give them my money. I am not one to say that the customer is always right, but I do think a loyal customer is one who should, at the very least, be listened to. Apparently, the owners of Fitness CF do not subscribe to that philosophy. It would seem that they just don't care. About anything. Customers. Staff. Nothing. Where do I even begin... the lack of retention of employees is disheartening. In the 3 years I have been a paying member to the brand, I have seen over 20 qualified staff members leave or be released from their positions. It seems that there are zero coachings on how to improve or grow an employee. It would seem there is zero investment in their team. The modus operandi of the ownership, when given constructive feedback, is to either ignore it or release the members of management they themselves have hired and subsequently fired for doing what the owners themselves have instructed. I've witnessed threatening communication to several customers and staff. I've observed broken equipment not attended to for weeks on end. I have been told that group fitness classes were canceled because instructors were no longer in the area (which I later discovered was not true.) I have heard that the ownership feels that attendance is too low to bring the full group fitness rotation back online and yet almost every class I have attended has been at its post-COVID capacity. I was recently at a class where the instructor didn't have a microphone to speak to the room full of paying customers... does the facility only have one microphone? I would hope that in these times, with a pandemic that has destroyed our former sense of normalcy, that the club, which to their credit has taken some decent* measures to keep the club safe, would have at least one microphone per I instructor. Right? I don't think I'm out of line for saying that. If you have gotten this far you are probably an employee. If you are, hang in there. You are not the problem. And if you think it'll help, maybe share this with the owners, maybe read it to them, since I suspect that they wouldn't care to bother themselves with reading. read more

Wow-where do I even start? I am so impressed with this gym, it's ridiculous. There are several gyms in my immediate area, but I actually drive farther just to come to this one because it is hands-down the best. The space is large, well laid out, and incredibly well stocked with both free weights and machines. I especially love that they have multiple versions of the same equipment or different setups that target the same muscle groups-so you're ALMOST* never stuck waiting or limited in your workout. The women's-only section is honestly one of my favorite features. It made my transition back into the gym so much more comfortable after being away for a while. I was able to ease back into working out without feeling self-conscious, and after a few sessions, I naturally worked my way into the main gym. I know so many women will understand how valuable that is (and honestly, probably some guys too-maybe a "bro-only" zone wouldn't be the worst idea ). The locker rooms are another huge plus-spacious, consistently clean, and equipped with a sauna, steam room, showers, and even a complimentary tanning bed. There may be additional amenities I haven't even explored yet. I've lived in multiple states and worked out in a lot of different gyms over the years, and I can confidently say this is one of best gyms I've ever been to. And as a bonus, there's an amazing smoothie and açaí bowl shop right next door, which just makes the whole experience even better. Whoever chose this location- well done. read more

GO TO YMCA instead! great and spacious. people really care, you don't smell weed on the hallways, don't have ridiculous cancellation policies, lots of classes and it's extremely clean. it's a one time $29 fee and $45 monthly only! $55 if you want to do swimming classes! on 12/1/22, I HAD MY MEMBERSHIP REVOKED at Fitness CF Orlando because I reported people using the massage room for other purposes than massage. They have a sign saying there's a camera there but it's not true. It's a dummy camera. They also have a sign saying only ONE person is allowed at that room. They called me today saying that their solution was changing the bed pad weekly and that they are not putting a camera. Cleaning crew already reported finding USED CONDOMS at this room. I think this is their best practice, to hide the dirt under the rug and don't act professionally. read more

FITNESS CF! New name, same amazing standards! I recommend this gym to anyone who is serious about fitness and who loves the camaraderie of great, friendly trainers and instructors. The front desk staff, Managers ADMIN and altogether the full service staffing there are super friendly and helpful. They take time to do amazing work at what they do with clients as priority. It's an experience I have felt a part of. I have had years of fitness in running and workout routines and know that what's offered at Fitness CF is undoubtedly one of the best in town. They are incomparable. There is always a very wide array of up to date, first class, top notch equipment here to choose from. I am happy to be able to say that even with a significant name change for the business, all that was before is still here. Nothing has changed; which is awesome! read more

Great place to work out IF........the management would get their staff to ...work. Very pleasant but often very lazy staff. They do not enforce the rules, you trip over people's bags lying everywhere, a clear safety hazard, and people feel fine lounging on equipment playing on their stupid phones while others stand around them looking at these clueless morons being narcissists taking up space doing nothing. They think YOU are rude if you ask them to move their idiot selves so you can work out. Not a clean environment, I seldom see anyone cleaning anything, let alone clientele cleaning after themselves. No rules...make up your own and do as you wish!!! In my opinion, this place is a "dirty diaper". Save the baby, throw out the management!!!!!! Go elsewhere! read more

The South Clermont location is the newest of the clubs and I have been inside the Orlando location and recently worked out at the Clermont North one. The South Clermont Club is by far, based on the ones I have visited, the most organized in the layout of the equipment and with sanitation wipes located throughout the gym. It has state of the art equipment machines and aparatus the other locations do not. I have a good relationship with the general mangager and assitant general manager at the South Clermont Location and one of the trainers. Staff is friendly and professional. The club at the South Clermont location is very clean. Charles the assistant general manager on two occassions was especially accomodating to me as a member. read more

From the moment you walk in, the lovely team greats you and in a way it's motivating! The place is aways clean, plenty of supplies to clean the machines and equipment. The Ladies section is great, private and has many of the equipment the rest of the gym has. Cheryl makes the ladies locker room so very welcoming. Her charming smile, her warm greeting, the way she remembers the frequent gym patrons, by first name... and the locker room, it is immaculate. When you walk in you always see the team working diligently to ensure we have a nice clean space. Thank you to the ladies who make this happen and to all the staff. read more
