I noticed this place when I used to pick up coffee at Starbucks and decided to check it out after grabbing an iced coffee at the recently opened Bold Bean. First time in I just wanted to get info & see what the details were to be a member. Finally bit the bullet and signed up for a monthly membership which comes with one complimentary training session per month. Booked my first training session for an early morning (on my birthday no less) because if I was going to train, I needed to force my butt out of bed. Telling myself I would do it after a long day at work wasn't going to happen. Met David when I showed up for my session and went through the initial 'getting to know you' stage. He gave me a nice total body workout to assess my strengths & abilities. While I know he wasn't pushing me to my max limit, my leg muscles would definitely beg to differ. Still got up the next day and drug myself in for a short run on the treadmill. Shannon - the owner - who I had signed up with earlier that week, stopped by to say hello. She was excited to see me back in and was checking in on how everything went the day before. I must have had a 'good' time because I continue to go back in to meet David at least once a week. It's definitely not my favorite time of the day, but I have to battle this yelp-bulge somehow.

If you can get past the owners bias towards her individual trainers she has on staff, you will find…read morea conglomerate type of trainer. Some trainers have higher education and years of experience while others have no degree in the related field. Other trainers have the education to back up their title but very little experience in the field. This is why it is so important to by pass the owner when selecting your trainer. Find one who is right for your short and long term goals, someone with a degree in the field, someone who has at least 3-5 years of practical experience and someone you relate to on a personal level. The biggest mistake a client can make is looking at their prospective trainers Instagram and noticing a move that is beyond most peoples realm and whilst enjoying their six pack abs and visioning yourself in them, take a step back and ask yourself, is this really what I need? Do your research fully and put your trainer in your own hands. Also, be careful how much money you put on your account because if your trainer leaves and you can't find one that is comparable, Focus will keep your money or force you to train with another trainer despite your reservations. My past experience with focus leaves me with Cracker Jack box training methods for most trainers. Leaving some clients bored and complacent. Training is movement art and science combined. Make sure your trainer has a pleather of tools in their tool box. Have witnessed most of the trainers in the habitat with very little creativity, energy and motivation.

Christina and Ben are fantastic trainers that take the time to make sure your form is right and push you to get stronger. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND for any fitness level. They will individualize the workout for what is needed. I love that there is a trial week option to check it out. 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.

Where do I even begin! Capstone has been the best gym I've been to and has helped me get in the…read morebest shape of my life. Not many gyms have a 5:30 am class which is convenient for my schedule! I love the people, the trainers, and the workouts, it is seriously like a family! The CUT by Capstone program helped transform my body to something I didn't think was possible. 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! I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to transform their body and take it to the next level!

HiReformance Institute is one of my favorite Pilates studios in Jacksonville. They offer a wide…read morerange of classes and a large schedule, which makes it easy for people like me with a changing routine to still get workouts in. Every class I've taken has been both fun and challenging, with options that keep things fresh. My personal favorite is the XFORMER class. I love the dark room, the loud music, and the way it helps me really zone in on the workout. I especially enjoy taking Emma's class, her "tough love" style pushes us in the best way possible and always leaves me feeling stronger. The only area for improvement is at the front desk. On one of my first visits, no one greeted me, and I ended up in the wrong room by accident, which was a little awkward. It would make a huge difference if new clients were given a warmer welcome and a bit more direction. Overall, HiReformance is an amazing studio with killer classes and instructors, and it's become one of my go-to workout spots in Jax.

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.

Completely humbled by the hour long session here. Made me realize I'm not in as good as shape as I thought I was. The yard is completely unassuming, grungy, hot and humid, beat up, ghetto, old school, and hidden off the side of the road in an old warehouse in springfield. Perfect. Monday through Thursday from 6pm - 7pm and Saturday from 9am - 10am you get an hour long intense cardio workout with a mixture of different exercises that Hector will break you down with. Want to take a break or rest a little without being told to? Be ready because Hector will get on your ass immediately and get you going again! These hour long sessions are a group fitness class that combines fundamental boxing techniques with calisthenic (bodyweight resistance) exercises to improve stamina, power, and tone. Expect a full-body workout through various boot-camp-style drills, shadowboxing, jumping rope, footwork, punching heavy bags, and abdominal exercises. Memberships consists of $10 drop-in, $99 monthly, or $299 for personal training. It's a blast and I can't wait to train here more often. Lots of good people here in a friendly competitive environment where everyone wants to push themselves to the max. Don't worry if you've never boxed before. Things to know and bring: Get a set of decent boxing gloves (I paid 40 bucks for mine and they work just fine - 16oz Title Classic gloves - I'm 5'10" 180lbs), hand wraps (not required but can help with the bags after repeated hitting), bring lots of water, bring a towel, yoga matt if you have one for the ab session at the end, good workout shoes, light workout clothes, come motivated, geared up to sweat, and ready to work your ass off.
