Stay Fit, The Gym Really Matters!

Welcome…

I started my health journey years ago. When I moved to Gainesville I thought our gym options in the area were limited. After a few months in the area, I realized I was wrong and found more places than I thought existed. The area surrounding the University of Florida actually has many fitness studios.

Many people believe that Gainesville is boring, quiet and small. After two years of school here, I have learned that it has much more to offer than what I originally expected. It’s kind of charming.

I’m here to show everyone that staying healthy in school is possible, especially when there are so many options available. Not all fitness centers are expensive and each one is unique in its own way. I created this blog for young adults in Gainesville, like me, who hope to find their way of staying fit and away from the freshman 15.

I’m a second-year advertising major at UF. In my free time, I enjoy working out. It serves to destress and maintain healthy.

I am excited to share this blog with all those interested, I’ve gained knowledge of this town over the years and want new coming students to be aware of what Gainesville has to offer.

Through this page, I will show my favorite fitness studios close to UF’s campus. Check out this blog and then visit each one personally to see which one’s your favorite!

Orange Theory: Science that keeps you burning

There is science behind an OrangeTheory workout. Results are backed-up by evidence and proven to happen.

This gym uses multiple technological features to enhance one’s workout. With arm-monitors and screens throughout the room, members are aware of how many calories they are burning and how hard they are working at all times.

Guidance and inspiration are key to results. In 60-minutes, a full-body workout is completed and tracking results throughout that hour will be proof of improvement.

Orange Theory will push you but not past your limits. Choose to walk, jog, run, bike, or stride for your cardio portion of the class and then choose how heavy you want to lift during the weight session.

Orange Theory is dynamic. The workout changes on a daily basis, remaining a challenge but does not allow users to become bored of a repetitive structure.

There is a membership for everyone. Different packages range from 4-days a month to unlimited. There is an option for everyone and a free intro class for those who are curious to learn more about the difference Orange Theory makes in one’s fitness routine.

The main goal Yoga Pod has for it’s students is to reduce stress, improve strength, and boost flexibility. Most classes are an hour long, however; 45-minute sessions are offered for those who can’t commit too much time.

YouFit: an affordable workout, cheaper than pizza.

There is no excuse to skip the gym if it only costs $10 a month. Being one of the least expensive gyms in the country, YouFit still has a lot to offer. 

Free weights and gym machinery are a must but group classes and child care can also be found here. A 30-minute express cycle is also available for those who are crunched on time but still want to hit a quick workout.

The Gainesville location is convenient. This gym can be found in the corner of SW Archer Rd and SW 34th St. 

YouFit health-clubs are scattered throughout the country. With a lime card membership, one can visit any location in the United States. 

For as low as $38 dollars, training can be purchased. This is a way to personalize your workout and follow both a physical and dietary plan. 

YouFit is dedicated to YOU. The company’s slogan emphasizes their commitment to helping members get the most out of life in an inexpensive manner.

Sweat it out at HOTWORX

Infrared rooms, spinning bikes, rowers and more; do you feel sweaty yet? HOTWORX is one of Gainesville’s newest fitness studios. This gym offers 24/7 service to all clients, work out on your time and at your convenience. 

While this is one of the many fitness centers Gainesville has to offer, it’s innovative technology differentiates it from the others. Virtual instructors guide you through each session.

There is also a strength training zone on the other side of the studio. This is available for those who want to follow their own routine or for those who are motivated to keep going after the Infrared room.

HOTWORX has an app of their own; this technology allows clients to track calories and book sessions. One can also compete with other members which adds a kick of motivation!

Grand opening rates are available. Free day passes are offered for first time guests!

I think this fitness concept is innovative. It provides users with results and benefits ranging from stress reduction to weight loss. However, some people require the one-on-one attention of a real life instructor and this may be the only thing HOTWORX lacks.
