“As a never before heavy weight lifter who was always daunted by the equipment and afraid of hurting myself, this is an amazing place to learn. Great value if you consider the potential for 1 on 1 instruction, never had a time I couldn't get help or feedback on form from a staff member. As a HIIT lover, the conditioning classes were my favorite part ?”

“My wife and I decided to try a class today. We came in and was instantly welcomed which is not like other gyms we have attended. Coach Kevin came out and met us. We had some first class jitters but he gave us a rundown and class began. We worked out harder than ever and felt great after. Coach Kevin kept the momentive going throughout the hour and time seemed to fly by. I really felt good about the exercises due to good explanation and constant interaction between the coach and each person in the class. We were treated Ike family from when we walked in until we left. If you are on the fence, go to this Orange theory, they really know how to treat people. Tha kbyouball for a great experience, we will be back.”

“This place has been a game changer. The head trainer is not only a kind person willing to teach, but a well trained doctor, well versed in physical injuries and problems. I feel like I’m well taken care of, as well as part of a community of amazing women.”

“I have been an athlete my whole life and have been apart of several gyms!!! This one is definitely my favorite and everyone is very friendly and helpful when it comes to learning to use new machines. I personally have a coach and I like using the coaching app to make sure I’m doing the exercise and using the machines properly. If I can get back to the gym after 8.5 months of Physical Therapy after double knee replacement and enjoy it again I want to encourage you to take your health seriously and come be apart of the gym too!!!”

“Before I joined LIV I was running. It was not enough. My wife has been going to LIV for several years and she looks and feels great! Now I have great workouts and even lost fat and gained muscle in my first 12 weeks. I feel great and love the workouts. The coaches are amazing and walk you through the moves, giving tips along the way. LIV has a friendly and welcoming vibe; everyone I workout with is great! If you want a well balanced and challenging workout LIV is the gym for you!”

“I was in a rut with ACL reconstruction recovery and traveling, away from my usual physical therapist. Dr. Peck saw me within my short window of visiting the area and did a full assessment, and then Megan saw me twice more. Their direction may have saved me from walking forever with a limp, seriously. They listened, prescribed personalized exercises, and answered all my many questions with patience and professionalism. These folks know what they’re doing, and they present a flexible schedule that made all the difference to me. Thank you so much!”

“Awesome community, great facility. Everyone is super nice and will spot you or give tips but will also leave you alone if that's what you prefer. Heads up there is no AC but that makes the struggle even better.”

“We had an outstanding experience with Numa Speed Elite. I initially brought my 13-year-old son to improve his running mechanics for soccer, and after just a few sessions, the improvements were evident—not only in his form but also in his confidence on the field.

What started as something for him quickly became a family commitment. My wife and I joined as well, and the impact on our own fitness has been substantial. We have always maintained an active lifestyle, but the environment at Numa is different—it pushes you to train with intent, to truly engage with each session, and to maximize the return on your effort.

The coaching is precise, motivating, and clearly grounded in a deep understanding of performance. This is not just a place to work out; it is a place to improve in a meaningful and measurable way.

I strongly recommend Numa Speed Elite—not only for young athletes looking to elevate their performance, but for anyone in the family who is serious about improving their health and fitness.”

“I started with Peak 5 years ago and they have definitely improved my strength, fitness, and helped maintain my health. At 75 yrs old, they are definitely helping to keep the “old man” out. So grateful to have them in my life??‼️❤️”

“The gym is a great value with great hours and machines. I prefer to work on my own, but had a fun session with PT Debbie. She encouraged me to do twice my normal distance on the rowing machine. Now I have that as my new minimum. More working rowing machines would be helpful.”

“I'm a personal training client of Russell and XCEED. I was a D-1 athlete so I'm used to a certain level of intensity with my workouts. Russell does a great job of keeping me motivated and pushing me past my limits. Since I've started with him and with some minor dietary changes, I've lost 11 pounds and I'm in better shape than a lot of my peers. He's great at tailoring the workouts to your specific fitness goals. Highly recommended.”

“Awesome coaches that care about developing the skills of each team member. My granddaughter started at 5 with Volleystarters and fell in love with the sport. I have to think the coaching staff played a big part in it.”

“Florida Gymnasium was a vaunted SEC basketball pit. Nicknamed "Alligator Alley" at the time, the facility had no air conditioning and fans were very close to the action. Florida Gym is now used by the university as a recreation facility. Perhaps its best attribute is having a permanent wood floor.”

“But this pool! What a pleasure it is to find a space where there aren’t 4579941 people vying for room to get on the weight machines, swim in the pool or play tennis/pickle ball! Inside Hawkstone Country Club’s Fitness Center you’ll find a relatively small gym, but more than big enough to get a good workout. There are 2 incline step machines and several treadmills as well as free weights and your basic circuit.The immaculate pool is a sparkling blue ranging from 3 feet to 8 feet deep, and it’s long and wide enough to swim laps without bumping heads with the guy next to you. The entire patio is situated under truly lovely oak trees that offer lots of privacy and a bit of shade. I took a 10 year old guest and the other folks at the pool were very accommodating and friendly.Bottom line? If you’re a member of Hawkstone Country Club you’re missing out if your not using the Fitness Center.”

“This place is great for renting outdoor gear. They have tons of options for pretty much everything. I rented canoes out for the weekend for $33 each for 3 nights. It went very smoothly.”

“We have been here for various sporting events. Overall, it is very spacious, but seating can be a challenge when they are packed. The staff are courteous and we always have a pleasant experience here.”

“The staff really makes this place great. They have a good selection of machines and a huge list of free classes to choose from that are included in your membership! You are guaranteed to find something for everyone. All the exercise equipment works great but most of the machines are clearly not new models. It is great that they have a pool/spa/sauna/steam room facility as I use it every time I visit. My one critique is that they could be a little more diligent about cleaning the showers and pool area. There is visible mold growth in the grout in the men's showers. It is not an enormous infestation by any means but it is definitely visible. The edge of the pool also appears to have some discoloration from organic growth. Prices do seem a little steep but they are the only gym that offers these services in the area so they really don't have much competition.Other than those minor details, this is my favorite gym I have been a member of here in Gainesville. I visit 3-5 times per week and always look forward to my time there. I have never had a negative interaction with the staff, they have all been fantastic.”

“Nice gym and friendly staff.. I must say it’s frustrating that you aren’t allowed to have your gym backpack.. for serious lifters it’s a big inconvenience. They want you to run back-and-forth to the locker room to get what you need from your bag. This isnt kindergarten we should be allowed to have our bag with us. I would also love to see them upgrade their water fountain. It’s the old school type you had in elementary school. But I will say all of the staff have been really nice.”

“The staff are good but relative to other gyms in the area (and other PF locations) This one is poorly managed and has unfair operating hours. Most gyms are open 24 hrs… this one closes at 7pm on Sunday.. 9pm on weekdays.. to me thats completely unreasonable.. especially in this area with limited affordable gym options.. if the hours were extended to at least 11pm the poor management wouldn't be as much of an issue to me because then at least id have enough hours in my day to make it there!

So, the poor management / up keep of amenities combined with the unfair hours is the reasoning for my rating..

(Edit: I see the hours were extended to 11pm on weekdays so I’m updating my review from 1 to 4 star.)”
