I joined LIV Athletics in March of this year and I can say its hands down the best decision Ive made when it comes to fitness. One of the many things I love about LIV is that its not just another typical gym where people are just looking out for themselves. At LIV we are part of a community where everyone is constantly looking out for one another. We are a team and we motivate, encourage, and empower each other. All the members are great and the coaches are BY FAR the best in town! They genuinely care about the members and they invest so much of their time on us ensuring that we get the best quality workouts and the best results. Ive had the opportunity to work 1:1 with some of the coaches (outside of our daily classes) and its made all the difference for me. Coach Rachel is amazing, she has been working with me on kipping pull-ups. Im still a work in progress, but without her feedback and helpful tips, I wouldnt be where I am now. Coach Steph is phenomenal! Ive been lucky to have three 1:1s with her, Handstands, Ski Erg, and Cleans. She is extremely knowledgeable and she has a way of explaining things that it just clicks. It doesnt matter what Coach you work with, they are all amazing! Im so lucky to have found this place--I look forward to coming to class everyday! Not only has it helped me with my physical appearance, but its helped me look at health and fitness much differently--I 10/10 recommend trying it out! It will change your life, it changed mine!

I was unsure about CrossFit at first because the workouts and people seemed kinda intimidating at first. Liv doesn’t have that vibe!Great community and coaching. The coaches really care about proper form and technique so they work with you wherever you’re at in your fitness.Years of being in and out of the $10 gyms but now I’m consistent bc of the coaches and the great members/community.If you want great coaching, accountability, and community then I’d highly recommend Liv!!

These people are definitely serious about working out, until late at night n sun up....

I have been training at live athletic for less than a year and I have seen tremendous results. Fitness has always been a huge part of my life, but around the age of forty, I started feeling as though I had reached a plateau. Gaining muscle has always been difficult for me, especially as I started getting older. Since joining Liv, I have experienced a 5 pound muscle gain and a 6% reduction of body fat. Not bad for a 44-year-old soccer mom! The coaches at Liv Athletic are insightful, dedicated, helpful, kind, and very skilled. The community of coaches and members is supportive and lots of fun. I love the environment and I love the workouts. I’m really grateful I discovered live athletic!

I have been working out at Liv Athletic for about a year. The coaches and staff are great. They always pay attention to your form and push you to be the best athlete. Liv is a great community to be a part of and I am thankful for it. Members are at a lot of different levels which makes me feel more comfortable working out here. The gym is family friendly and always a fun place to be. It is a great gym for students too as they will let you put your account on hold during the holidays.

Chris, is the ultimate motivator, pleasure to have him as personal trainer

As a physical therapist, I had my reservations about joining a CrossFit gym. Would proper form/safety be emphasized? Would the programming be individualized to prevent injury in people of different fitness levels? The answer at LIV is yes yes yes! My only regret is not joining this gym sooner. I feel like calling it a “gym” doesn’t even do it justice. This place is what I look forward to every day. The people and positive/encouraging atmosphere are just contagious. I am in the best shape of my life (even better than I was in high school as an athlete competing in multiple sports). And it’s just plain FUN! It may seem expensive at first glance, but what you get out of being a member here is INVALUABLE!!

I have been an athlete my whole life, but never a Gym member. A friend mentioned this gym with high regards so I did the 6 week challenge and never looked back. LIV programs teach you how to workout properly, eat healthy, and manage an overall healthier lifestyle physically and mentally. This gym is a family that helps motivate and lift up all members. A community that wants better for all members regardles of the level of fitness you are at. My LIV time is the favorite part of my days!

Most Amazing Gym!! Not only are staff well trained and enjoy helping you get the most from every workout, all the members at the club are supportive, encouraging, and friendly. This is such a wonderful community to be a part of and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new gym!

Im about to celebrate 6 years at Liv and am constantly impressed by not only their commitment to teaching quality movement, but also their eagerness to change and adapt in attempt to give members the experience they want. This truly is a place for athletes of all experience, abilities, and goals, and it is both my physical and social outlet. A gym that grows with you is a rare find!

Can’t even begin to describe how much this place has changed my life the last 10 months. A community I wish I had found earlier in my years at UF! Great place to exercise that isn’t cookie cutter! So personal to every member!

I have been going to LIV for about 5 months now. It started with a 6 week challenge they held and after I couldn’t bring myself to leave. I’m the farthest thing from a bragger but if I were to brag about something it would be LIV. They are unlike any other gym I have stepped foot in before. The positivity, encouragement, and support from not only the coaches, but the other members around you is insane. It’s evident the coaches love what they do and will go above and beyond to teach you and help you crush your goals. They believe in you when you don’t believe in yourself. They push you to limits you didn’t know you had. They will be at your side every step of the way. They are more than just a gym. This place has not only helped me get in shape and gain strength, but has improved my confidence, self-esteem, mood, energy, and much more that I’ll be forever thankful for. No matter ability level, age, weight, height, or wherever you are at in your fitness journey…guaranteed you will be welcomed with open arms and meet some of the best people. 11/10 recommend checking them out!

LIV is more than just a gym... its a family. My progress over the past year or so has been incredible, and I owe much of that to the closeness and effectiveness of the staff and fellow members. Its a place where, yes, you work out... but you also create lasting relationships with great people who are there for similar reasons. Its personal, its friendly, its real. No doubt about it, the best gym experience Ive had my entire life is at this place right here.

Joining this gym has been one of the best decision of my life! The coaches are great and the athletes are all very encouraging! I have been a member for 2 years and I am still loving it. I recommend this place to everyone... the folks here have become family ❤️

I love this gym! They have the best community and make you feel part of the Liv family from the moment you walk in the door. A must go in Gainesville!

Literally nothing bad you can say about this place! Are the coaches and other members great? Yes! Fitness program awesome and easy to scale for everyone? Yes! Will you replace fat with muscle and slim down/tone up in the process? Yes! Have nutritional support, yet accountability too? Yes! Turn into a total badass? Yes! Are the owners Chris and Steph amazing? YES! Will they name their unborn child after me upon seeing this awesome review?! We shall see!

LIV is such an amazing gym! The coaches are not only knowledgeable and caring but they are always striving to continually learn and improve. The programming has so much time and knowledge put into it (hello gains! )...every aspect of our training is well thought out and purposeful. The community of members is the most caring, loving, and supportive group of people and they have truly become like family. LIV is my favorite place to workout, hang out, and become a better version of myself. Come experience the LIV difference!

Amazing community and coaches! This place has helped my get my nutrition and exercise on track! I would recommend Liv to everyone!

I am so glad I have joined this gym! For the first time in my life I love training and look forward to going to the gym. Liv Athletic totally lives up to their mission statement to inspire people to live an active and socially connected life. Liv Athletic has given me so much more than I ever expected! I feel more confident in all aspects of my life not just in my fitness journey. The coaches and the other members are so amazing, supportive and encouraging. You cant help to give your best every day. If you ever thought of trying crossfit or you just want to get in better shape, come give Liv Athletic a try. You will not regret it!

I am so lucky to have found. LIV Athletic! They have created an amazing community. The coaches here are some of the most knowledgeable individuals, and they actually care, which is even better! I’m in the best shape of my life and have LIV to thank :)

I joined LIV Athletic after spending years lifting weights at a traditional gym. I had wanted more. More challenge. More purpose. More general well-being and a support system that would always encourage me to meet my goals. Going to LIV has been one of the best decisions in my life. I now have a second family and another place I can call home. This place is so much more than a “gym.”2019 Update: ...This is still true going into my 6th year. LIV has continued to evolve to meet the diverse needs of their many clients and athletes of all ages and phases of fitness.

Liv is more than a CrossFit gym. It’s a community. I love going to Liv for the people, the fellowship, the encouragement and the wonderful coaching. The atmosphere is infectious with positivity. In addition, they have an outstanding kids and teens program. My daughter participated in the kids program for 9 months which helped her gain confidence to try out for the competition team in gymnastics. She always tells me how much she misses Liv. This place will change your life for the better.

Liv is an amazing place! This gym offers all you need to get healthy! Very thankful for the awesome community and coaches!

Doesnt matter if you are starting your fitness journey or if you are a well trained athlete, here you will feel right at home from the moment you walk in and are greeted by a coach or just anyone you bump into. The coaches are EXTREMELY knowledgeable which was very important for me since I have previous injuries which limit me from doing certain movements and exercises. You will definitely be motivated to push through and meet and exceed your goals!!

All the trainers are awesome! All the members are supportive. No matter what your level of training is, Liv athletic is a great place to start

Amazing gym. The coaches are very supportive and put a major emphasis on proper form and technique. Crossfit combines the best elements of cardio and strength, and improves overall health. Would highly recommend this gym for anyone looking to improve their athleticism.

Whats different about LIV? Coaches & Community. The coaches provide excellent instructions and adjustments while training, theyre also really kind and friendly. All the people who attend are great as well, making working out fun. I definitely get and better workout and have more fun than I ever could with my previous gym habits.

Liv Athletic has been my best workout-related decision in my life. Im getting the best workouts that Ive ever gotten before with some truly amazing people. Im excited before every class and I think this says something about how the Liv coaches are able to motivate everybody. I’ve definitely found my second home! Do yourself a favor and come check out a class!

I have been going to LIV for 6 short weeks, and during that time my life has made a huge turnaround. I have had a dramatic change in my fitness ability and I cant wait to see where it goes from here! Thanks to a great coaching staff and amazing members who push each other for their best.

We absolutely love this place. Its a place to call home away from home, to feel happy, to feel loved and cared for on TOP of getting a really great work out. All the coaches make sure you feel comfortable with any of the movements, they always watch out that your form is good and that you wont hurt yourself. Theyre super encouraging, know how to push you just a little more than you could yourself and the results speak volumes. Noticing how much stronger you get and how your body changes, is very rewarding. They have a great kids program and this has become a family affair for us, usually Monday - Friday. Its our Happy Place!

I have been going to Liv for almost 8 months now. While I have always been an active person, I never really started getting stronger as an athlete until I joined Liv. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and just all around great people. They are always ready to help you however they can so that you reach your goals. The gym also has a remarkably tight knit and encouraging community. I felt very welcome when I first joined and that support has never faded. Every time I step into the gym it feels a little bit like coming home.

This place is wonderful! I have been doing CrossFit for over a 2.5 years and I cannot express how grateful I am for this place. The environment is extremely inviting and supportive and encourages all levels of athletic experience! The owners, coaches, and staff are extremely professional, care about the athletes, and the community is more than just a gym, we are a family!

Amazing place! A great community atmosphere! I recommend it to anyone who wants to get healthy and find and awesome support team. This is my Liv family!

I have been a member for about four years now. With their support I have been able to safely exercise through two pregnancies. LIV offers everything you would want in a gym. Excellent coaches, top notch programming and most importantly an incredible community. I am stronger and healthier than I have ever been. I look forward to continued gainz at the gym.

Hands down best fitness center in town. The coaches here will equip you with the tools needed to reach your fitness goals, physically or mentally. The members....woo the members....some of the best people Ive had the pleasure to get to know in this awesome town, who are equally there to support you and help you get to where you want to be. Checksum out, you wont be disappointed.

Starting any new habit is highly uncomfortable/scary for many people, specially if it involves engaging in activities you only dream of partaking in.That was my feeling when I became part of the LIV Family back in august, but every experience ever since has proved that statement wrong.Every person is full of love, every coach is full of expertise and care, and every workout is created and executed in the most wholesome manner to meet you at your specific level while giving you the power to. tackle anything that seems impossible.Hands down one of the best gyms I have been to since I began working out.

Awesome gym and great staff. I attended 2 classes while visiting from our of town and had a great time. Highly recommend this gym!

Starting out at Liv I was a bit intimidated because I just had a baby so I was weak and I am also hyper mobile in most my joints so I get hurt easily. The community is so welcoming and encouraging and the coaches/staff are highly competent as well as great teachers. I feel welcome and most of all safe when working out at Liv.In just a few short weeks I am stronger and better physically equipped to handle being the caretaker of a little person. Thanks Liv!

This is an amazing gym from top management to each and every coach. There is a class for everyone and regardless of the level of the workout the coaches are there to correct form and hep you find the final push. They genuinely do care about your success and your health. Plus they host amazing events both in the internal community and external community.

Best gym in Gainesville. Very knowledgeable coaching staff with great programming that understands how to modify any movement to fit your individual needs. Just an amazing atmosphere to be in. Drop in and you will not be disappointed!!!!

CrossFit is the best fitness experience of my life. I wouldnt change a thing. I never get bored with any of the workouts because they always present a different challenge. Ive been an athlete most of my life and CrossFit has proved to be the most engaging sport I have ever participated in.The people are great, the workouts are challenging, the coaches are phenomenal and you cant argue with the results.

I have lots of fun every time I go. I feel comfortable and supported. At the end of each class, I feel so much better about my self. I couldnt ask for a better cross fit gym.

CrossFit Gainesville gym is awesome. The trainers are very knowledgeable and friendly, not to mention athletes themselves! I was very impressed with the program and their dedication to their members. Since joining I saw my overall fitness increase dramatically in only a few months. Definitely worth a visit.

After over a year and a half I’m still going to Liv! They continue to support my goals and provide amazing community. I would highly recommend trying it out!

I started at Liv Athletic in January 2017 without any prior crossfit experience, or any gym experience for that matter. The coaches do a great job at teaching the basics and helping you with proper form throughout the entire class. They are great at modifying the workout for your level of fitness. They have also created a great community and I have met some great people there. Highly recommended you check them out!

When I first started with Liv Athletic/CrossFit Gainesville in October of last year, I was obese, I would have a hard time moving. As of now, I have competed in two CrossFit competitions and as I reflect on the different aspects that made me stay the course, the one constant that I keep coming back to is the environment. Aside from having experienced coaches with the education to back it up, you develop a family in this particular box. You are no longer a member of the gym/box, you are a family member and for me, that is more important than any other benefits or price reductions other gyms might give you because it allows you to become more invested in your fitness and health. If you have but one gym to try in Gainesville, I would try them out first.

I was very pleased with the welcome I was accorded especially by Coach Chip and Andrea. They took their time to understand my physical state and needs and came up with a superb fitness plan. I am also very happy that they agreed to squeeze part of their time to fit me on an individualized personal training. The gym is clean and neat always...Thanks

I have been exercising for the past 35 years and been a member of many different gyms and clubs. For the past 5 months, I have been at LIV and this gym has every element an athlete at any stage of development could hope for. The coaching is top notch and you are coached in EVERY class. Emphasis is put on form, programing is progressive and the members are welcoming. LIV is my favorite place to workout- ever.Find below the pic of my first day at LIV on the left. The second pic was taken 4 months later after the LIV Challenge, which included at least 3 one hour workouts a week and addressing nutrition.Two years later, still my favorite place to get my fitness on!!!

I have been a member at LIV Athletic for a little over a year. As a lifelong athlete, settling with going to a typical gym was boring, repetitive, and dissatisfying. LIV has a motivating atmosphere that makes exercising enjoyable and rewarding. I learn something new at LIV every day and have accomplished things I once never thought possible. LIV fosters an environment that promotes its members prospering not only athletically, but in life generally. I can truthfully say that every aspect of my life is better since joining the gym, and thats because LIV provides its members the tools to holistically improve themselves. I have been to a handful of other CrossFit gyms, and none of them shake a stick at LIV. This is truly a special place, and thats due to the expert-level dedicated coaching staff.

LIV is a community of driven athletes supporting each other as we all try to become healthier! The community is irreplaceable and I am so happy to be a part of it!!

I happen to find this place when I went for a conference in Gainesville. I think the way the place was organized and equipment that are there impress me. For the one week I was there, I got trained and kept fit by engaging in several challenges. The workouts unfortunately for me were difficult :). Its been long since I trained.

A second home! If you’re looking for a dedicated, professional, informed, always learning, friendly, and fun group of coaches, this is the gym for you. The same can be said for the athletes that LIV attracts – one of the best communities I’ve had a pleasure of being a part of. There are many good CrossFit gyms out there, and I’ve been lucky to visit a few across the country, but I’m always excited to come back home. LIV has made me a better athlete by helping me i) acquire skills and movements I’ve considered my nemeses such as muscles ups, snatches, handstand walks, and hollow rocks (of all things), ii) learn to face fears such as getting under a heavy bar, getting upside down, feeling comfortable in a muscle up transition, and entering a competition with a team and on my own, iii) learn that I’m capable of a lot more than I think I am, and iv) gain motivation and joy at seeing some of the other athletes in the gym reach their goals. I’ve also become a better person as a result. If you want a group of incredible people who will always be there to challenge and support you in the best possible way from the first day you step foot in the door, check out LIV Athletic!

Excellent gym with great coaches, amazing atmosphere and wonderful people. I strongly recommend this place if you are consuconsid a healthy change in life!

I have been a member on and off since 2009. I have had to take a few breaks over the years due to life events and Chris and Stephanie have always welcomed me back unconditionally! All the coachs are able to accommodate my changing needs and abilities too. I have made my way through all of the classes there from competition way back in the day, to boot camp, health and performance class and even one on one personal training, and I have NEVER regretted a single class or event I participated in! They say, just show up to class and it really is that easy to get started on changing your fitness for the better! Do it! You want be disappointed.

Great place to workout! The coaches know what they are doing and above all want you to be safe. This is not the stereotypical crossfit gym. An emphasis is placed on safety and form. The atmosphere is friendly and not competitive (unless you make it so) and everyone cheers each other on. The coaches are always available to answer questions and will walk around giving pointers.They also give a lot of individual attention. I had an injury and they will help assess what is wrong, modify your workouts accordingly, and also provide a stretching regimen to help you get back into shape.I recommend this place to all my friends and I love working out here!

I started with LIV a little over two months ago and I have zero complaints. The environment the coaches and fellow athletes create is absolutely phenomenal. I am a begginer on this fitness journey and I still have a long ways to go, but the progress Ive made in just two short months is amazing I havent felt this good about my self physically and mentally in a long time!

I started at Liv back in January of 2017 as part of their 6 Week Challenge. I was weary at first, I wasnt really into working out, but I was ready for a change. Fast forward 4 months to now and I am hooked. The coaches here are phenomenal and the community is like a second family. I have seen personal improvements in my overall physical appearance as well as in my activity level and confidence in myself to do things I would usually not push myself to do. The coaches get to know you on a personal level and will call you out when youre taking it easy and make you push yourself (looking at you, Nick). I also love how much emphasis is placed on proper form above all else. In high school, form was not stressed and I ended up pinching a nerve in my back, hence my reluctance to get back into the gym. But I have no regrets and I would recommend Liv to anyone.

I could not say enough good things about Liv! I have changed so much in the last 2 1/2 months since I joined, and I have never felt better. The coaches are the best and they are always willing to help you get better. The environment is very uplifting and everytime I step foot in the gym, I know I’m going to be the best version of myself! I have made so many friends since everyone is so friendly. If you are intimidated by the CrossFit environment but have always wanted to give it a shot, Liv is the perfect place for you to start!

Liv Athletic is an amazing gym full of wonderful, supportive people. The coaches are not only knowlegeable, but take the time to get to know you as an individual. I do not come from an active background, and Liv Athletic has helped me become stronger than I ever thought possible and reach my weight goals. I have been going to this gym for over a year, and it was the best decision I made since moving to Gainesville.

Tried several gyms around town and like Goldilocks was still trying to find just the right one. Was always skeptical about crossfit b/c I had seen too many gyms/instructors leading their athletes down a rocky road to certain injury. Heard great things about LIV from friends (& anyone I asked about it) so I started attending Sweat classes in June & quickly realized I had found my forever gym-home. The coaches are focused on ensuring members of all ages, sizes, athletic abilities and fitness levels get their safest & most effective workout by offering various levels of difficulty for every move. Coaches and members are supportive and rally around to cheer you on regardless of whether youre struggling or hitting a Personal Record. Their holistic approach including nutritional guidance, personal coaching and skills clinics help to set this gym apart. Cant say enough about the incredible sense of camaraderie and community that helps to feed your soul. Pretty sure this gyms heart is the secret ingredient to their winning recipe.

Every gym is not the same. The staff at Liv Athletic truly take the time to work with every person on their level, getting them the most out of every workout. Having a coach able to meet your specific needs is a necessity for CrossFit & Liv Athletic exceeds in this area. My highest recommendation for everyone, no matter your level of CrossFit experience.

I am a member at CFG because I feel it is the best facility of its type in the area. I drive a half an hour each way passing multiple other fitness centers and CrossFit boxes on the way each day. The other places have the same gear and even seemingly similar programing. The coaches are just a cut above. They are constantly offering constructive feedback to ensure that I am maintaining form and working to improve my performance. Beyond the coaches, the experience I have with fellow members is second to none. I have added a whole set of positive, motivated, successful people to my life. They want you to succeed at your highest and they will help motivate you to get there (and still try to beat you). They will give you tips and tricks, talk about their experience and listen to yours. Quality people is the capital I measure my wealth by. I am a richer individual for having found the CrossFit community, especially those here at CFG.

When I started at LIV, I was worried because I had never done CrossFit before and was scared I would be the only person needing constant help and guidance. After my first class, all of my fears were gone. Every coach takes the time and attention every separate person needs to ensure they are doing each exercise correct to prevent injury and optimize fitness. I have loved every minute that I have spent at LIV, even when the work outs were harder than I ever imagined because I was always pushed to do MY best and work MY hardest, without having to focus on others. I have become stronger and more conscious of my form when it comes to every exercise. Thank you so much to all the coaches and friends at LIV who have helped get me hooked to CrossFit and given me more confidence than I could ever imagine.

Liv athletic rocks! They do a beautiful job of mixing community and hard kick booty workouts. I have loved my time at LIV. I would recommend LIV to any and everyone!

Do you guys ever pick up the phone during normal busy hours?! For the love of God!

Good place to be especially when you are in Gainesville Florida. Train for healthy fitness or endurance fitness. Great teams and trainers.

CrossFit Gainesville has become one of the best things in my life. I was active in competitive sports from grade school through college. After college I was never consistent with my exercise - until I found CFG. I look forward to going to each class and am bummed out when I cant go. I realized I got bored too easily trying to do things on my own. All I do is show up at CFG and someone tells me what to do and how to do it in a fun, encouraging way and in a great atmosphere. Im in the best shape of my adult life and cant imagine my life without CrossFit.The coaches here are awesome. They take the time to learn about their members - not just in the gym but out of it. They make sure we have a well rounded experience. They are also always thinking up new programs, events and innovative workouts to make sure we have the best gym anywhere around!

You cant argue with results. Ive watched my wife transition from the birth of our 3rd and 4th children (yes twins) to losing ~ 50lbs, getting in the best shape of her life and running her first half marathon (2 hrs 20 min to boot).Crossfit is the real deal for people that want to build functional (core) strength and improve their endurance in a fun, supportive atmosphere.

Such a great gym for both the rank beginner and the experienced athlete!

I moved to Gainesville for school and this place is my energy release and venting from a long work week in the lab! Not to mention, they took my fiancee and I in with open arms! Thanks guys!

Fun workouts and great coaches! Always look forward to going to the gym!

Great place! Love the coaches and super happy my wife pushed me to join

Crossfit Gainesville is hands down an outstanding place to work out and make yourself better, healthier and stronger. The coaches take each individuals success very personally, and Ive been super pleased with the technique coaching, the motivation, and the fun environment. Best way to describe it is a supportive, fun and challenging place to work out. Cant say enough good things about the other crossfitters as well, its a really great mix of people. Now that they are expanding the workout facilities, its just getting all that much more impressive. Id highly recommend trying it out, you wont be disappointed.

Liv Athletic is an incredible gym with dedicated trainers! I originally was a member here back in 2008 when it was Crossfit Gainesville. It was a small gym at this time but really the only crossfit gym in Gainesville. The owner and head trainer Chris was very helpful and created such a positive atmosphere for all the athletes. Over my time at the University of Florida I made substantial gains in the gym and it was definitely due to the incredible support and training the staff provided. The gym also had such a great culture which made it a pleasure to go to every morning.Now that Ive graduated and moved out of the state Ive always looked back on my memories and growth at this gym with fondness. It is truly an incredible gym.I recently came into town and stopped by for a workout. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the gym was in great shape and had improved vastly since my time at UF. The facilities rival any crossfit gym Ive been to throughout the country but more importantly the staff is second to none. I was happy to see Chris still engaging with all of his clientele and really working to improve their fitness. This gym is for anyone looking to improve upon themselves.All that being said, I would highly recommend anyone who is interested in getting into crossfit to give this gym a call. You will be glad you did!

CrossFit Gainesville is a great place with a great staff! I began training at CFG aboout 1 year ago as a 45+ year old executive and former high school and college footbal player that had not exercised regularly in over 25 years and with the challenges of a busy career, family, and other competing priorities had let myself go. So a year ago I was overweight and inflexible and I needed to regain my health. The CFG staff assisted me with performing baseline testing to determine my fitness level and then with developing an on ramp program. They helped me to hold myself accountable to show up and put in the work to achieve my fitness goals. Even with my busy schedule, they worked to create a schedule that worked for me. The classes were hard work but I was surrounded by others with the same goals. In the first several months, I was always the last person to finish the workout and was humbled after every class. It wasnt easy physically or mentally but they always encouraged me to hang in there and do my best. Many of the classes were filled with young people that were fit, but they always were encouraging and helpful. It was and remains motivating to be surrounded by healthy people that always cheer each other on every class. A year later, I can say that after attending consistently 2-3 X per week that I have lost almost 50 pounds, gained flexibility, and have the strength and stamina to do almost anything whether it be swimming & snorkeling in the Gulf of Mexico, squating over 300lbs or going for a 10K run. Im no longer the last person to finish the workouts and have improved my fitness level tremendously. The membership fees are moderate but are worth every penny. I view it as an investment in myself. So it you spend most of your time on the couch, or are are fit and want to take your fitness to the next level, get up and get over to CFG!
