Jenn Byrd, a trainer at Genesis, is helping me get my life back! After years of sedentary behavior, Jenn is slowly and effectively training me to rebuild muscles and strength. Her skill and years of experience as a trainer is only matched by her compassion. Jenn has had to work around quite a few injuries I’ve had and yet continues to give me the best workout to build me back to an optimal life. I’ve never had as skilled a Trainer who understands an older body and actually cares about my success .

I just joined and was a little bummed about the vinyl flooring in the group exercise room. My knees after two Zumba classes are really feeling the poor flooring option. There is totally not enough cushion and for the older population in the area, the gym should totally have wood floors for less impact on body. As well as no mirror. It is totally important to see your form, and I am not sure why there are no mirrors. It’s an inexpensive solution. Other than these two key points, it seems to be fine.

Chad Montgomery is my trainer. He is so patient and kind. He loves showing people how to address target areas -abs, arms, legs- what machines or weights to use to get results! He works with people who need to get active or just want to advance their training. He is the perfect trainer- equal parts fun and challenge!

Kevin Hein, as a trainer, is very knowledgeable of physical fitness and nutrition, he is able to personalize recommendations instead of giving general textbook applications. With his martial arts background, he is just a very interesting person.

I’ve been going to the gym for a few years and, for the most part, the staff are extremely pleasant and helpful. However, the morning trainer, Allison, is rude and inconsiderate. She forces her way into areas with her clients pushing people already using the space out. Wonder if she would complain if she got hit by one of the weights being used because she has lack of decency for others people’s space.

They have taken their system down without prior notification of the members and yet they continue to charge my credit card. So I am paying for a gym. I can’t use and without any idea when it will reopen. I’m beginning to suspect they are about to close the gym permanently. No reason not to think this.

WORST gym I have ever been to.
-Blonde tall lady at the desk shoo’d me away with hand gestures for not wanting to take a pic! Like A DOG! Very disrespectful!
-I pay ~$80 a month for this CROWDED little gym, but can't get somebody for 5 mins on the phone. This has happened several times.
-If you experience an injury, on top of their ridiculous monthly PLUS yearly fees, you gotta pay an additional monthly charge to freeze your account.
-Good luck with parking. They share it with all the businesses nearby.
-Hours suck. Never have seen this limited hours at any gym I've ever been to. They take ANY chance to close.
-Half the time the turf is occupied, so really half the gym is ok to use. I was kicked out of the turf with a min left of the class by an elderly trainer when I wasn’t bothering anybody for stretching in the corner.
-Check out their BBB reviews and you'll see the list of their complaints. I wish I had looked at it before I signed up.
Unfortunately, there's no other gym in the Villages, you are better off building your own gym at home if you are a permanent resident.

I have worked and lived on 4 continents. Been a member of 9 gyms in and out of the US. Nowhere have I ever seen the kindness and professionalism I see here on a daily basis. The trainers not only assist people working out but take great care of the elderly members. They go out of their way to help them train, assist them with minor mobility issues and are very kind. If you’re an older member this is the best gym you will find in the area.

Awkward to get set up for a membership, very low tech (paper initiation forms data entered overnight) no mobile app class signup or options or check-in, uses keyring barcode tag. Some services require phone call or in-person visit. In The Villages, temporary residents like us are overcharged. None of the special offerings we get, like free week or massages apply, those are only for permanent residents. Very crowded in the morning. No way to determine how busy, like how many people are signed into the club.
Good selection of exercise machines. Lots of class options.
The staff is really nice and seem knowledgeable, but dealing with poor processes.

I called to purchase a gift card over the phone and it took 3 different employees to figure out how to run the card. THEN, after they successfully ran the card (it showed up on my banking app immediately), they refused to load the gift card stating that they didn’t actually run it! I called and asked for a refund for weeks. I had to report this charge with the claims department at Bank of America. I have still not received a refund for the charge. Rude, unhelpful, and lied that they would refund the charge!

The facility and equipment are nice. My issue is that the Genesis gym in Brownwood is too crowded. You usually have to wait for machines including both weights and cardio. This is the busiest gym I've ever been in. The facility at Spanish Springs is nowhere near as crowded. Although the Brownwood facility is the closest to my house I only go their about a 1/3 of the time. The rest of the time I either go to Planet Fitness in Leesburg or to the Genesis facility in Spanish Springs

Johnny reviewed step-by-step the evaluation as well as all that is available to me at Genesis. He answered my questions thoroughly and allowed me to follow up with him if I have further questions. I was impressed with your protein products and Johnny’s explanations, so I will be trying those products. I also want to commend Darrell, Kenneth and Lorene, they were all great in helping me get acclimated to Genesis. I will not hesitate to

Genesis Health Clubs - The Villages Brownwood – Personal Trainer "Mo"
I’ve been using the Genesis Health Club randomly for several months. I decided to get serious about my training and hire a Personal Trainer based on feedback from my Physical Therapist. Luckily, I got “Mo.”
I’m a runner and like to run marathons; however, as I got older, I got injured more and more, which kept me from running. My Physical Therapist told me to stop running and start lifting weights until I strengthen the muscles I use to run. It was excellent advice.
After one session with Mo, I knew I had the right Personal Trainer. It was more about Form over Formula. Get the Form right with all your lifting exercises, and you won’t get hurt during your training. Getting the correct Form requires a skilled trainer to watch over you and correct your mistakes. Mo is with me every step of the way, correcting my Form. I’ve already seen progress that I haven’t seen since my early days in the military. I’ve signed up for continued training with Mo with plans to be in good enough Form to do it myself in a few weeks.
Thanks, Genesis Health Club and Mo, for making my time there of value.

What a joke! The woman at the counter was very rude. As soon as she saw our out of state IDs she said we had to prove we lived here and completely shut us down. It was very embarrassing!

I would NEVER use this facility simply due to the deceptive false advertising to get you into the club only to then show fine print once you make an appointment for a free trial pass, arrive to pick up you pass and be told it doesn't include “guests” of The Villages. Well, what exactly does “guest” mean to you when the word is right on the form you fill out?!
My husband and son are avid gym goers and probably would’ve paid the $65 a week on future visits, but now they will never pay you a dime and my parents live in The Villages and I am going to be sure this review makes its way to all social media outlets.

If I could I would give this place a 0. Let’s start off with Martha the old lady at the desk. I had walked into this place to use my 7 DAY FREE PASS and showed one of the guys my ID for proof. Martha takes it upon herself to tell me that my I.D isn’t valid although you don’t need a florida license to use gyms. She also tried to tell me that my lifestyle pass isn’t valid enough for proof I’m staying here and that the address I’m at isn’t valid for her. I will absolutely NEVER try to come here ever again & Martha needs to not be rude, she was disrespectful in person and on the phone with a family member of mine.

I went it to ask about memberships and mentioned that I also have silver sneakers. The woman helping said, in a rude, condescending way..."are you 65?"
I felt the need to defend myself and said, no but that I'd been on Medicare since 2015.
"I'll need to see proof"
I then find out they don't take my insurance, she seemed to gloat over that fact.
I left without a membership.
So rude! Even if I could afford a membership, I'll never give them my business.

Jethro has been my Personal Trainer for a couple of years. He has come a long way under my watchful eye and encouragement. I think that my interactions with him have contributed to his inspiration to get a Warrior Certification. I know he is also working on a Stroke Certification. My wife, whose trainer is also Jethro, says I may be giving him one!
Jethro always brings humor to our training sessions. I am a Senior and don’t quickly get his jokes, but I try to laugh (especially when he explains them).
Because of the confidence I have developed in Jethro, I have entrusted him with my greatest challenge. My wife says she is going to kill me if I don’t live another 20 years. It has become Jethro’s challenge to get me in good enough shape to last. So far he is doing a really good job, although I worry when I see Jethro and my wife laughing!
On the serious side, my progress under Jethro has been amazing. I always look forward to his sessions with great enthusiasm. He has become a good friend as well as a trainer. I am amazed at the energy he has put into researching every issue of mine, and to developing the appropriate training for my goals. I could not have achieved what I have without his constant encouragement.

21Sept 2023 update….
I have been working out with Jethro Alexander for going on two years. A year ago I had a stroke. Since then Jethro has continued to work on my Strength and conditioning learning as he goes how to work with a Stroke Survivor such as myself.
Through the grace of God and Both Jerhro’s and my commitment to each other we have learned how to recover improving strength, balance, mental attitude and faith in God to make this journey one of the best experiences of my life.
I am confident that Jethro gives the same attention and energy to anyone who wants to engadge with him and acheive the level of health and conditioning they desire. Thank you Jethro!!

Unscrupulous business practices - Booked five appointments for services at the end of January 2023, knowing we'd be gone from Florida after Feb 25th.
Made all the appointments with one call and with one person. After getting all the dates and times dialed in I asked the person from Genesis to confirm the dates/times. Yep. All good. Nope, not all good.
The last two appointments were put into March 2023 instead of February. Disappointing but whatever - but now I need a refund.
I can't do other times, and we're leaving after Feb 25th. Genesis corporate says no refunds even though I did absolutely nothing wrong and it was their mistake. It's a poor way to run a business - won't be back.

Equipment is parr at best. Hours are very limited unless you’re 100% retired. If you work daytime it will not fit your schedule and it’s not convenient working out when everyone at the gym has to share the limited space, hours and equipment. New management does not change hours and equipment.
Try again and consider expanding evening hours and you’ll do better. It is also overpriced for what it offers. Should have different expenses for people interested in classes vs only the gym. Nobody likes paying for classes they have no intention of using.

A great gym for classes and personal training. If your workout focuses on free weights, it’s not the best. Way too many people for the available floor space; too few benches; too few dumbbells; and lots of poor gym etiquette on display.
If you want to complete your workout in a timely manner, you need to be very flexible. At times free weights and machines are so tied up, I will just grab a mat and work out on the floor or I just give up and head on home.

Too crowded! Over priced! Not enough equipment. I exercise 4 days a week, every week. Since 1968. I was there on my free pass and in 2 hours did not do one exercise that I normally do on that day. This gym is a mile from my home so imagine my disappointment when I had to go 15 miles to the next gym. It too is not good!

MVP Brownwood is a phenomenal fitness center. I can't say enough good things about the amazing instructors, management team, and front desk. The best part of moving to The Villages for me has been joining this MVP. They offer a wide variety of outstanding classes that really make me look forward to going. The staff is super supportive, motivational, encouraging and just plain fantastic. I can't imagine a nicer, friendlier or more helpful staff anywhere. Absolutely love this place!

MVP is a very nice/fancy fitness club! They pride themselves on having the latest equipment but lack the equipment for the true bodybuilder! The gym goes out of the way to keep everything clean! My biggest complaint is the hours - most gyms are 24 hrs and with you paying top dollar at MVP they should be open longer at night at least!!!

I love coming here for a workout. I prefer the group classes.
Just wish that they could schedule classes so a person can do two. Such as group power then a ten-minute break and a group ride class starts. not so you have to choose one over the other or wait and hour for the next class to start
Also bring back towels and get the blue bikes for ride class that the RDV has.

I have been going to MVP Brownwood for a little over a year. I attend a different class every day. My classes range from Group Power, which concentrates on strength training. The Just Balance class improves your balance. My Touch 30 class uses a variety of exercises to build strength and endurance. I also attend three other classes during the week. There are many more classes to chose from. All these classes are free with your membership.
I also use the weighs, weight machines, treadmill and elliptical machines.
Not only does this large gym have everything you could ever want to use. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. The people, who attend are also very friendly. It’s easy to make friends here.
MVP also offers rewards for attendance, classes and personal training.
This by far is the best gym I have ever attended!!!

The front desk staff was very unprofessional when telling me that my appt wasn’t booked today. I was made to feel as though it was my fault & spoken to like I’m an idiot. Dana, especially kept talking over me, making faces while I was trying to keep the conversation with the other front desk person. She also loves the manager title since she kept repeating that she was one. I’ll never go back to this location or refer my clients to it.

Everything is wonderful; the staff, the cleanliness, the equipment. The ONLY problem is they won't post a sign near the dumb bells telling people pick up their weights and move away from the rack when lifting the dumbbells. People grab the weights and stand right there lifting, while others have to wait for them to finish in order to grab dumbbells near them. PLEASE, grab your weights and move away while doing your exercises.

I booked a 10:30am massage. When i showed up at 10:25am, I waited for 10 minutes for someone to check me in. I paid $70 for a 60 minute massage, then was told I had to complete a form at the front desk. The form would take another 10 minutes. So my $70 massage was only going to be a 40 minute massage. I asked for a refund and was told that the only person that could do it was in a meeting, and that she would look into it later today. So frustrating. I feel that I will probably have to eat the $70 as a lesson learned. I will not be back.

Facility is very nice, patrons and staff seen genuinely polite however, You pay 50 plus dollars a month plus $100 annually there are some discounts that can reduce the annual fee by 50% which they had done for me. They have a sauna that is limited to two people and really not an incentive. I do believe they're supposed to offer clean towels but there has not been any available to anyone there while you still pay full membership fees. They offer massage services additional reduce fees then your general massage parlors that I had in less than desirable experience and a violation of my privacy. The management was very prompt but not proper in respecting my privacy being that everyone in the facility was aware of my situation And my confidentiality was not respected. They continued to discuss my personal matters amongst other employees and within ears drop of the tens of people standing around. Unfortunately I had to terminate my membership. The equipment is inundated with traffic there is wait lines often for many pieces of equipment. My workout was limited to just dumbbells and five other pieces of equipment. My workout took 45 minutes normally there an hour and a half and still didn't get to utilize some of the equipment. Some of the machines such as the leg curl proved to be painful and uncomfortable at times. The facilities also missing critical fitness equipment that are predominantly in many other gyms. While their equipment is advanced It is geared towards very novice mature elderly people. Locker rooms are beautiful and well maintained. This facility is decent for general maintenance And your social butterflies.
