Trainers in Jacksonville

“I have been coming here since March and I love it! The environment is exactly what I was looking for. It is a very motivating place to work out as everyone is putting in work! I like how the cardio is away from the main weight training areas. It allows you to lock in and focus. If you like weight training or are looking to get into it, I recommend this gym. Very happy I joined.“

“I was over in Florida visiting family who recommended Viva Stretch. I did the first time stretch appointment and it was great- super friendly, experienced and good value for money! I Will definitely go again if I am back in the area.“

“I always choose Alex for my stretches because he knows my body so well and always knows exactly what areas need the most attention. Every session feels personalized, and I leave feeling so much better than when I walked in.
What really sets him apart, though, is his personality. He's hilarious, and our appointments never feel like awkward small talk—we're genuinely able to have real conversations the entire time. I'm usually laughing through most of my stretch, which makes the session fly by. He creates such a comfortable and enjoyable environment while still being incredibly professional and knowledgeable. I always look forward to my appointments and highly recommend booking with him!“

“I cannot recommend Ana enough! From the very first session, she made me feel comfortable, supported, and genuinely cared for. Throughout my pregnancy, she has been incredibly thoughtful, patient, and attentive to every change my body has gone through. You can truly tell that she loves what she does, and that passion shines through in every session.

What I appreciate most is how personalized every class is. If I’m experiencing any pain or discomfort, I simply let her know at the beginning of the session, and she immediately modifies the exercises to help address it. She always knows exactly what my body needs, and I leave every session feeling better than when I arrived.

Even during her group Pilates classes, she never makes me feel like just another participant. She always keeps my pregnancy in mind and takes the time to modify movements specifically for me, making sure I can safely participate while still getting a great workout. That level of attention and care, even in a group setting, is something truly special.

Her prenatal Pilates sessions have helped me feel stronger, move with less pain, improve my posture, and feel more confident throughout my pregnancy. She explains everything clearly, checks in often to make sure I’m comfortable, and celebrates every bit of progress with me.

Beyond being an incredible instructor, Ana is one of the kindest, most caring people I’ve met. She creates such a warm, welcoming environment where you feel safe, supported, and encouraged every step of the way. She genuinely cares about every client and is deeply passionate about helping people feel their best.

If you’re pregnant, postpartum, recovering from an injury, or simply looking for an amazing Pilates movement instructor, Ana is the person you want. I am so grateful I found her at The Bolt Movement. She has made such a positive impact on my journey, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly. Thank you, Ana, for everything you do! ❤“

“Mike was very friendly with the sign up process and showing me around the gym. Thanks for making me feel welcome!“

“This was my first visit and I wasn’t sure how my body would react. Caroline, did an amazing job of feeling the tension resistance and asking me for feedback…very impressed.I have already scheduled my next visit and look forward to continuing my mobility Improvement.“

“Best decision I’ve made this year to go to the next level. The app is accurate and very easy to use. Ground Force and James know what they are doing, so professional!“

“Definitely a great workout! Ken pushes you to your full potential! I definitely enjoy and will continue to go!!“

“I love my gym but it's getting frustrating the stand up tanning beds need their bulbs changed badly. I'm having to go to the Normandy location for my tanning instead of my home gym. Everything else is awesome.“

“Garrick and Kat make weight training approachable, safe, and enjoyable. I have been going steadily twice a week to Garrick (who is very knowledgable in athletic training and rehab) for a few months and have surprised myself with my progress. I am definitely stronger. I’m grateful to my friends who encouraged me to go! Workouts are customized and I feel challenged and motivated each time.“

“Best place ever!!! Julia is an awesome trainer. Women who work out here are kind and encouraging. What a great way to start a day!!!!“

“This gym has truly been a game-changer for me. The energy, the people, and the support here are unmatched. I always feel welcomed, motivated, and stronger every time I leave!“

“I joined PF a few months ago and I have only gone twice - once to actually get on a machine and once to use the massage machine. I was really seriously considering cancelling since I'm paying for a black card membership but not using it.

I went in and spoke to Angie and said I needed to be talked out of cancelling. Tell me why I should not cancel. Angie did not hesitate to remind of the benefits of the black card and let me know I just needed to get started on a fitness plan. She got me enrolled in a class to see a trainer to set up a plan. She was very positive, upbeat and not even a little judgmental or condescending in any way. I appreciated her encouragement to stick with it! Thank you Angie!“

“This is a one stop shop for all the fitness and supplement needs in one place while at an affordable price. We have been members for quite some time, and I would highly recommend the northside location to anyone looking to find a good gym in Jacksonville. For anybody looking, I highly recommend giving it a chance and also excusing their dust while they're going through a remodel. I think this is really gonna give us the awesome facelift that it needs.“

“Very nice variety of equipment, different areas, pool and sauna, boxing bags, and racquetball courts. They also have a snack bar. The membership is reasonable (depending on your budget), but the fact that they have several cable stations and more than one of the same machine per station/group makes it worth the look.“

“This place is terrific. The owners are amazing and we love this place! Everyone that lives close should definitely give it a shot.“

“Working with Jodi has tremendously helped with my nutrition and recovery. She’s one of the truest coaches out there. You will get what you pay for, no gimmicks from her!“

“Great gym. Nice pool and jacuzzi. Pleasant staff. Patrons range from casual workout oriented regimen to more serious bodybuilders. Clean and safe.“
