McArthur Family YMCA - Fernandina Beach (FL)

Danielle Fagre HitSquad has been amazing for our family! Coach Matt tailors training to my daughters’ needs as dancers, helping them build strength and confidence for their performances. He’s also helped my son, who isn’t in any sports, discover an appreciation for strength and conditioning. Coach Matt truly cares about his athletes—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. We’re so grateful for the positive impact he’s had on all of our kids!

Christine Hicks Strength & Stretch was a great addition to my weekly workouts. Milly is an exceptional instructor. The class combines low-impact strength training with stretching exercises. This week, we concentrated on hip and shoulder mobility, two areas in which I greatly needed. I cant wait to see what the next session will entail. I recommend trying it to enhance your mobility and flexibility on your strength training journey.

Taylor Baker Just before I left for the summer, I heard that Gabe was promoted to manager. He had signed me up five years ago and has always been very helpful. When I returned this week, I was astonished at how much the Fernandina Beach Anytime Fitness had improved! Examples: (1) Gabe extended the dumbbell rack so the heaviest dumbbells weren’t laying on the floor, making it hard to reach over them to get the ones I wanted off the rack (2) He moved the seated curl machine from next to the dumbbell rack to close to the pressing machines—where the plates are hanging—so I didn’t have to haul them back and forth across the gym (3) Gabe moved the rack of variously-weighted barbells to a corner so it wasn’t next to the platform for dead lifting—which was a precarious location. (4) Other equipment is now better spaced for maximum efficiency and accessibility. Gabe has also implemented and enforces a couple policies that make it better for the gym members and prevent others from taking advantage at our expense. The climate is better now with the mutual respect and courtesy shown by our members, which is a testament to the great people who work out there and our hard-working staff.

Janice L. Mote Peck Gym is a place for people of all ages to come out and play indoor soccer, volleyball, basketball as well as enjoy cardio and weight room workouts. Its family friendly and reasonably priced.

Essence Clayton Friendly front desk staff. They greet you when you walk in. Smaller facility than what we are used to in Tennessee, but this location is closer to our new home for kids sports and swim lessons.

Katie Kujawa This place is amazing! The teachers are wonderful and very knowledgable, the owner makes you feel very welcome and the staff very friendly. I took many classes at this studio and recommend it highly to others. Pilates is a form of exercise that will keep you in a great shape but it isnt high impact which is great.

Paul Venditti Transformative Experience at GPA Fitness! GPA Fitness in Fernandina Beach, FL, has completely transformed my approach to fitness. Specializing in one-on-one and small group personal training sessions, their staff of certified trainers is outstanding. From the moment I walked in, I received a comprehensive fitness assessment, and my personal trainer developed a specific fitness plan tailored to my goals. This roadmap to fitness success has been a game-changer. Before joining GPA Fitness, I considered myself a gym rat, mixing cardio exercises with upper and lower body workouts 2-4 times a week. As a former Class A PGA golf professional who gave private lessons, I knew the value of professional guidance but never applied it to my fitness regimen. Deciding to try personal training was one of the best decisions Ive ever made. Ive been a professional athlete in ice hockey and golf, yet I was amazed to discover the imbalance between my upper and lower body strength. Having a personal trainer guide me through each exercise for an hour has made an incredible difference. For instance, I learned that Ive been doing my squats incorrectly my entire life! This attention to detail is something you cant get from just going to the gym on your own. Recently, I suffered from a severe case of Sciatica, which caused excruciating pain and made it difficult for me to stand up or even roll over in bed. Despite seeing doctors and receiving epidurals and facet injections, I only experienced short-term relief and began to feel depressed. Thats when I decided to make an appointment with Ian Weant at GPA Fitness for an assessment. Ian put together a 5-day physical therapy program that has brought me back to life. Words cant express how grateful I am to have GPA Fitness in my life. The fitness success plan, combined with Ians expertise, has made all the difference. I have been a loyal client at GPA Fitness for the past 8 years and have seen incredible results. The personalized attention and professional guidance have not only improved my physical condition but also inspired my daughter and niece. They now join me every Saturday and are thriving as varsity athletes in high school. If youre serious about your fitness goals and want to see real, lasting results, I highly recommend giving GPA Fitness a try. The personalized attention and professional guidance make all the difference. Thank you, GPA Fitness, for your exceptional service and dedication to your clients success!

David Braden A very quality and thriving club. It has a bar, a large picnic area and park. From my experience I have to say the banquet hall(rec hall) is the best of all. Very large amount of space for parties, weddings, events and anything you can think of. Right next to it is a large field for bbq and parties. With hard working staff like these, you cant go wrong.

Shari Worthen Walking in the door is a breath of fresh air. The atmosphere is comforting and the staff is friendly and helpful. It feels like coming home. My person experience with my psychologist is like sitting down to talk to a sister. Its very comforting. I always look forward to our visits. We need more of this in the world.
