Four years on, my daily workouts out at First Coast would be the daily highlight of my workweek routine.

You do not need to know how to do any CrossFit movement to get started here, just a curiosity and willingness to give it a try. The coaches and people here will welcome you in. I'm grateful for how my fitness progressed at First Coast, but also, possibly more so, how I felt like I was part of a community of like-minded and caring people in Jacksonville.

I wouldn't hesitate to head that way if I lived locally. Thank you all again for the great class and warm welcome!

There's one enclosed room with weight machines, and then a larger open room with smith machines, dumbbells, bench, incline, pulley machines, treadmills/ellipticals and a cardio training zone. They also have an outdoor covered astroturf cardio zone. There is a large heated pool, basketball court and separate studio rooms for fitness classes.

I had my son with me who only moments ago had been discussing fitness improvements to boost his rugby performance over the off-season. Hmmmnnn...how ironic we would run into Tim only minutes later. Invictus has an incredible sports training program centralized on an individual's needs. Want speed? Tim has a program and trainer to boost your speed. Want more endurance? The program described to my son and I seemed like a phenomenal solution. Want to build muscle mass? Tim explained they have nutrition class to accompany that program as well. Want to lose weight? Trust me, by what I witness in their facility, there is no way not to do so. Each person gets a specific program based on their very specific needs at Invictus. And let me tell you Tim and his staff are incredibly passionate about their educational offerings and coaching, emphasizing strongly how do implement these programs in the right way. Currently, Invictus is training a local La Crosse and basketball team. I am truly impressed with not only Tim and his fellow instructors, but with the individualized performance programs that they are customizing for each patron. Amazing stuff! Give Tim a call and ask to have a free session with him and his crew. If you are looking to make your game, whatever that may be, better, this is definitely the place to go!!

Thanks to the guidance and accountability from my incredible coach, I've lost 100 lbs, gained lean muscle, and completely transformed my health. My doctor was amazed--after 6 years, I'm off high blood pressure meds, and I've successfully weaned off medications for depression, anxiety, sleep, and ADHD. I'm no longer pre-diabetic, and I feel better than I ever thought possible. This journey hasn't just impacted me--it's changed my entire family. We live active, energetic lives now. We eat healthy together, spend more quality time outdoors, and even save money thanks to better food choices. The ripple effect has been powerful. Kokoro doesn't just provide workouts--it offers life-changing support, education, and accountability in both fitness and nutrition. I can't recommend this gym enough. If you're ready to take back control of your health and happiness, if your looking to transform yourself, this is the place to do it.

Kokoro Health and Fitness isn't just a gym--it's a full-blown glow-up factory…read more You won't find rows of dusty machines or "trainers" who ghost you after day one. Nope. At Kokoro, you're getting elite-level coaching in small, semi-private sessions that are all about you. Think of it as personal training--but with a squad vibe and way fewer awkward silences. And the owners? Absolute legends ‍‍. These two don't just hand out workouts--they hand out life upgrades. They know your name, your goals, your struggles, and exactly how to get you where you want to be. They're part coach, part therapist, part drill sergeant (the encouraging kind), and % invested in your success. They care in a way that's real, rare, and ridiculously motivating. And while most places toss you a "meal plan" that looks like a sad Excel spreadsheet , Kokoro keeps it real with a focus on whole food nutrition--because fueling your body with real food isn't a trend here, it's the foundation. No magic shakes, no starvation, just real food , real habits, and real results. (Yes, they'll even help you figure out what to eat without crying in the grocery store.) Now let's talk money--it's not cheap. But guess what? Neither is a new back, healthy knees, confidence, energy, or the ability to carry all your groceries in one trip without dying. Getting your health back? That's fing priceless.* So if you're tired of being , done with quick fixes, and ready to feel strong, capable, and just a little bit dangerous--in the best way--Kokoro Health and Fitness is your place. They're not just changing bodies. They're changing lives. Warning: Side effects may include increased confidence, pants that fit better, and an uncontrollable urge to flex in public.
