Great place to workout but it comes at a high price. I personally dont mind paying a little extra for a good gym. This place has everything you can think of including pools and a basketball gym, free weights and machines. Overall worth the price and you cam even grab a smoothie at the juice bar on the way out. Super friendly workers as well. Very helpful and knowledgable about where everything is and proper work out techniques.

The only good thing I can say about this gym are the hours. They are open 24 hours! That being said .. they are severely over priced. Customer service is atrocious and not flexible in any way. Your card is denied you would think they would give you a call to see if you want to change method of payment or as a common courtesy. They don’t! They rack up your bill to 200 dollars and then expect you to pay the full amount. You fit unless it has changed has long hours for the late owl as well as inexpensive fees. Crunch is a brand new gym that it’s inexpensive with newer equipment. Take my word for it and check out the competition before GHF!

Been an on and off member for over 8 years. For a good reason, it’s the best gym in Florida. Expensive, but I tell all my friends and family that it’s worth it if you’re someone committed to fitness, and go everyday. For 60 dollars a month, you get child care, sauna, cold plunge, steam room, pool, hot tub, ball courts, yoga classes, stretch machines, elliptical, x force, free weight, PT assessment, Keiser bikes, body weight area, WiFi, and 24 hour service. If you commit, use it everyday, and use at least half of the facility, it’s 2 bucks a day.

Gainesville Health & Fitness is by far the BEST gym I’ve ever been to. From the friendly staff, to cleanliness, to having just about every Equipment you can possibly think of! Not to mention they have 3 different locations which is very convenient for my lady and I. We Love GHF. Forever Members!

Overall I enjoy this gym. I enjoy the cast variety of equipment, and presentation and cleanliness of the gym.The people who frequent this gym are inspiring for the most part and are great to be around.My only real gripe concerns the staff. Generally speaking, there seems to be a lack of professionalism. Staff laughing at inappropriate times while talking to them or a lack of good customer service.

From front to the backroom staff I am always greeting and assisted with anything I've asked or needed. Often, my name is remembered. The fitness center is always clean or being cleaned, and equipment is often check for malfunction. You cannot beat the location, size, and everything this gym as to offer. No matter what time of day you go for a workout there is multiple options so you'll never have to wait for anything.

Hands down the best gym in Gainesville. Never encountered an issue, was always greeted with smiles and friendliness from all staff. Jan was the best fitness counselor I've ever had contact with, her helpfulness was unmatched. Would totally recommend any Gainesville resident to become a member, some students may be discouraged by the price, but its totally worth it!

I really love GHFC I’ve been going for about 5 years now on and off. It’s got all the equipment and accommodations you could ever need. Employees are great and it’s a friendly atmosphere. Recently though every time I go to use the sauna there’s been old men loudly discussing politics (even full blown arguments). They don’t respect the Sauna etiquette and makes the experience miserable. I’ve messaged the manager and nothing’s changed. May not seem like a big deal but it’s takes all the relaxation out of it. Not to mention you’re paying more for a membership to include these amenities and you can’t even enjoy them. Bonus though, you get access to there two other gyms. I’m definitely gonna start going to the women’s center to avoid this.

GHF has a professional atmosphere and a high-quality facility. Their staff are friendly and helpful. I frequently would see people I knew from other aspects of my life there in the gym. This brought an even more welcoming sense of belonging to me.Tom helped answer any and all my questions. He even gave me his cell number so I didn't have to call the main facility with questions about minutia. Cathy in the accounting department was able to assist me painlessly and she was very pleasant to speak to.I would definitely continue my membership here, if my financial situation were more agreeable. I strongly recommend this gym for their robust selection of high-quality equipment and professional atmosphere.

Gainesville Florida has a national treasure in the Gainesville Health and fitness Center. It is the finest facility on the planet and I have known the CEO and owner Joe Cirulli for more than 30 years. Worth every penny!
