I think this gym is a hidden gem in Jacksonville. It’s 24 hour access so if you work out early, or late to miss the rush it’s perfect. The community there is really good, I’ve never had a work out where someone was inconsiderate or rude. The staff is even better, very friendly and very out going. I’m not much of a talker but the staff always say hello when I’m in there and it’s very welcoming. I would love to see this gym grow to be packed at all hours, and for the monthly price I think it’s better than 95 percent of the gyms in jacksonville. I would highly recommend this gym both for novice and experienced lifters. They offer personal training, not sure of the price, but there’s always classes going on, so I would say it’s a good price if it’s fitting the nature of the gym. Very clean all the time and the equipment is always pristine. I’ve never seen a broken piece of equipment here. 5 stars for sure.

When you come to EXSSFIT the dynamics of training changes. The trainers are awesome and above reproach. Cliff, Deadlift Jay, Brandon and host of other trainers to include the YOGA instructor Stephanie they create a team dynamics approach that feeds into their clients individual style of training, health and fitness goals they are training to reach. These elite trainers challenge you to bring out the goals you want to meet and exceed. You are pushing in an EXSSIVE manner to push past your goals for the next level training.

This gym is a hidden gem! It has everything you need to meet your fitness goals. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming. I never feel intimidated here. If you are not sure where to begin definitely ask about their personal training options or their many group classes. Both will challenge and motivate you!!

This is a great gym. The staff is friendly and the members are awesome.
The equipment is clean and still fairly new. It’s accessible to members 24/7 which is nice as there are no holiday closures.

Their personal training is great. I’ve worked with Jay for around 3 months now and he’s definitely hardcore, but it gets results. If you need a no nonsense trainer approach he’s your guy. The other trainers are great too.
I’d recommend personal training to anyone who is just starting out or wants to take their strength to the next level.
You can download all the workout apps or Google how to make your own program, but it’s pretty cool to just leave it to the experts and learn the exercises correctly the first time. Also- the accountability is worth it. Before I started with Exss, I worked out at home with an online coach and she definitely had her strengths, but I was never consistent or pushed myself hard enough with my workouts. I’ve worked out 3-4X a week since April and I’ve gotten stronger than ever so that’s a win.

The group classes are
great to add accountability to your routine, meet friends, and gain strength/ endurance. The classes aren’t cliquish at all and they have childcare which is nice.

My kids enjoy the childcare. It’s clean and they have fun toys. The workers are nice and it doesn’t fill up fast like other gyms. My kids never want to leave!
Also- group classes and childcare are included in the membership at no extra cost. :)

I would recommend this gym to anyone who wants to make fitness a lifestyle.

Cliff and the team there are good people, great atmosphere to get a good workout in! Cancelled my membership due to getting a home gym at the house but I do recommend EXSS fit for anyone. They don’t break the bank on you if you’re just starting in the gym or an experienced lifter trying to get a good workout in. Cliff and his team there take care of the gym and customers!

I absolutely love this gym! I love that I have never been made to feel less than and no one has side eyed me making me feel like I don't belong there! It is literally the best gym I've ever been to. And I actually enjoy going!! This is a space where EVERYONE is truly welcome! I did 20 training sessions with Jen, which were absolutely AMAZING! And Cliff was always smiling and encouraging (even at 5am 😴🤣)! I just can’t say enough about how great this place is! Check it out, you won’t be sorry!!

Amazing class with the awesome Gabby this morning! She's super motivating and encouraging and just a bundle of positive energy. The whole vibe at this gym is awesome. Never a bad experience.

And also because of her personal training, where I was once told I had to reconstruct my wedding dress just to fit in it....well (challenge accepted)..NOW I can fit in my dress without alterations! So she made me look good AND saved me money on alterations. Lol

If you are on the fence about joining a gym or which one to join...this is it!

After exercising there for several months, I began experiencing a surge of restless leg syndrome. After speaking to my doctor, he suggested that I cut down on my physical activity. I wasn't saddened by the doctor's orders because I hadn't lost any weight and seem not to get any help with any of the equipment. I began a walking regiment and lost 10 lb. I sent the owner a letter asking for my second year which I paid in full refunded. It's been over a week and I've not received a phone call or an email stating why I have not received my second year refund. I'm okay with him keeping the current year, but I'm not okay with paying for a second year that I'm unable to go to exercise.

Excellent gym! While I believe most of their clientelle are fitness classes and their mobile gym, they accommodate more heavy lifters like myself. With dumbbells that go beyond 100 lbs and being both free weight friendly (powercage, many barbells, dumbbells, ez grip, etc) and plenty of machines for all muscle groups, I found it to be ideal for when I wanted to heavy lift and max out, while also allowing me to have days of negatives on the machines. Cliff even accommodated me by getting a few 5 lbs and 2.5 lbs so I could add small increments in my lifts. Myself going at 8pm and beyond, it felt like having my own gym which I really appreciated when drop setting or supersetting and not having lines on equipment. I'm going to miss this amazing gym and can only hope there is something half as good in my new location.😢

I've always hated going to the gym, but Clif and the team ( especially CASH) Have kept me motivated and encouraged. Day one Clif wrote out a fitness routine for me to follow and almost 60 days later I'm still cranking it out ( I've normally ghosted the gym life by now). The gym is clean, intimate ( not so big, loud and busy you feel lost and intimidated), friendly and truly open 24hours 7 days a week; which is epic 😎. Here, I'm not afraid to ask questions about the equipment or how to improve my weight loss/fitness experience. Overall, great place and I am incredibly thankful for it.

I’ll probably never love going to the gym but this place is a very strong like. Cliff is really great at pushing you farther than you think you can go without being a domineering tyrant that won’t listen. He’ll gladly modify exercises when needed but won’t let you skate by if you really can do it.

The gym itself is very clean and well-equipped. Membership is limited so you never feel crowded out even during peak times. The mobile gym service is another but it does kill the “I just couldn’t make it to the gym” excuse. It’s not an excuse when the gym comes to you.

I’ve lost weight, gotten stronger, and feel better about myself and couldn’t have done it without EXSS Fit.

I am so glad I found this gem of gym! It’s a nice and very clean little gym but don’t let the size fool you! There is so much to do there! Here are a few of the reasons why I love this gym and why you should join:
1. First of all you can’t beat their prices!
2. They have hiit classes Monday-Thursday (that do not cost extra) with extremely knowledgeable, creative, and motivating trainers that are there to support you throughout your fitness journey. (No matter where you are at on that journey!)
3. This place is very welcoming and supportive to everyone that walks through the door!
4. The gym is open 24 hours 7 days a week if you can’t make the classes!
5. They have all the gym equipment you’d see at any other gym.
6. The best part they have a gym dog!

I absolutely love this gym and actually look forward to going there to workout everyday. I cannot recommend this place enough! I highly highly recommend this place to everyone!

Solid full-body circuit training that incorporates both cardio and strength training. They have modifications available if you have any limitations. The group setting is motivating and a great team builder. I've also used EXSS facility-nice variety of equipment, clean, modern, and trainers!

This place is absolutely phenomenal. Cliff and his wife Cassie are some of the best people on the planet. They make such a great team! They are so accomodating and caring. Cliff is my personal trainer, and I will never use anyone else. His knowledge regarding health and fitness is unbeatable. During our sessions, he pushes me and encourages me to give my very best. You're NEVER treated like a number, and they both engage with you and make you feel like you've known them for years. The quality of training and personal atmosphere in this gym is something you will NEVER find at one of the big box chains like Planet Fitness. With a gym membership, you also receive 24 hour access to work out at a time convenient for you. If you have a genuine desire to become fit, and are thinking about joining a gym, and/or using a trainer, call Cliff and Cassie. It will be a phone call that will change your life.

I have a love/hate relationship with EXSS FIT. I hate working out because I'm old and extremely out of shape. What do I love about it? When my thirty minutes are up! Ha! No, really Cliff is the best. He modifies the workout to accommodate my shortcomings but pushes me to achieve what he knows I can. Each day I feel like I'm achieving a little more with less and less modification. Cliff is very encouraging and seems extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of health and fitness. If you're considering a trainer I highly recommend Cliff and EXSS FIT.

Never did I imagine I would get the results I've had with Cliff over the last 4 months. The encouragement and accountability have been a key factor for me. He's been super flexible with my often hectic schedule & he is incredibly knowledgeable. When he tells me to swing a 40 lb kettle bell (which would have seemed impossible to me a few months ago) I feel safe doing so because I know he wouldn't ask anything of me that he didn't think I was capable of. I highly recommend EXSS Fit to anyone who asks! Private sessions or group sessions are available & I’ve benefited greatly from both! Thank you CLIFF

From an absolute beginner, I have been able to accomplish things through training with Cliff that I never thought I could do before. I have been encouraged and motivated to do my very best and more. By Cliff supporting me to do more than I ever thought possible, I feel like I'm in my best shape now. I would highly recommend anyone from beginner to expert, busy schedule, or otherwise to work with him. You don't work around him, he works around you, by being able to bring the gym to you!
