Fitness by Fronk - cool personal training studio name and great staff! Think of a Concierge type…read morefitness "studio" which is primarily focused on delivering personal training in private and group "packages" in the areas of cardiovascular conditioning, strength training, balance drills, interval training and nutrition. Fitness by Fronk also offers Kinstretch, Circuits and Unlimited Classes as well as unique personal fitness assessments like (1) the functional movement screen and (2) Titleist Performance Screen for golfers. This personalized training offered by a young staff of Certified Personal Trainers, Nutrition Specialists and CrossFit Coaches is pricy but well worth exploring if you are seeking one-on-one and/or small group training shadowed and directed by a Certified Trainer. I was fortunate to meet with Tammy who explained to me that all the Certified Personal Trainers are independent consultants and work with members individually to develop packages that help them further their fitness and nutrition goals. Tammy also gave me a tour of the studio which is equipped IMO with the bare essentials like dumbbell racks, bench press benches, treadmills, gym rings- probably more stuff but those are the items that stood out. This is a very unique personal fitness studio model which differs from my experiences with other fitness centers and gyms. I'm big on entrepreneurship and Tammy was very matter-of-fact helpful in giving me a good baseline of decisioning info - with this positive experience, I see possibilities here and encourage you to check it out if interested.

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 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!

They've been part of the Jax Beach community for years, and it shows in the quality of the instructors and the overall experience. Every class feels thoughtful, challenging, and intentional, and the instructors genuinely care about form, progress, and making sure everyone feels supported. Class sizes are small, so it almost feels like you're getting 1:1 instruction. While there are many options for Pilates this one feels like home. It's local, welcoming, and grounded in real expertise. You walk in and feel comfortable right away. If you're looking for Pilates that's effective, well taught, and run by people who truly know what they're doing, this is the place!

For years my wife had been trying get me to work with a trainer. I always felt that I had a pretty good grip on how to exercise but after reaching a new record in my waistline and on the scale (Not the good kind.) I figured that I better try something different because the way I going things were not looking pretty. In comes CTSM! Actually at the time I was looking for a trainer I took a consultation workout at another gym just up the street. Or should I say I was... When told the guy that I was going to also to a consultation workout at CTSM he said, "Oh. Well your going to get a much more intense workout there." That was exactly what I was looking for! I trained with Mike on the initial consultation and it was intense. Thereafter I workout with Sean for about 6 months and dropped a modest 33lbs. I was feeling pretty good having reached my goal so I took up working out on my own again. During the months of November and December I tried out the Boot Camp instructed by Chris and it kicked my butt too. Started coasting.... And the weight was creeping back. So I've started training again with Sean again and I've already lost 11lbs since March.

There are 3 types of classes: -Signature 50 - Starter 50: Intro to solidcore -Foundations 50: Building your basics The starter 50 is a good basic class, as the instructor talks for 30 mins of the class, and you workout for the other 20 mins. For me personally it's always too much talking so I recommend taking a Foundations 50 if you're new. The Foundations 50 focus on how to properly do the exercises and perfect your form to prevent injury. Unlike the other clas, the foundations 50 have you working out for the whole 50 mins so you do get your monies worth!

Everyone starts out with an assessment, both to learn your goals, but also to learn about any injuries or special concerns you may have. Then a workout plan is put into place which you will follow in the coming months. Maybe you are an athlete that needs more speed, higher jump or stronger core, each of these goals will take you somewhere else in the gym. Some college and professional athletes come in to work on injuries or rehab to keep from getting reinjured. Then those of us over 50 try to do more lifts that apply to our stage of life, mostly through body weight and strength training.
