This place has been such a blessing in my postpartum fitness journey! It is such a nice, warm, welcoming atmosphere and I love the kids club for my daughter. It’s so nice being able to get a break for myself knowing my girl is in good hands!

Edit three years later:
So much has improved, and even though this location hasn't expanded, they added so much more for strength training. Its amazing how good they listen to their members 10/10 ❤️

Three years ago: As much as I love this gym in the morning, which I haven't been in forever due to work, it's almost impossible to enjoy your workout in the afternoon. There is limited space to do the cable machines. Either there is a class starting or going on that doesn't allow that one to be used or all the ladies crammed into the small free weights and barbell area, not allowing use of that cable machine. There needs to be just as equal attention for remodeling here as there is at the main center. Make more space for better accessibility.

I love this gym, but do not understand how if you are going to build a service for women - who are legitimately the busiest people on earth - you’re going to close at 6 o’clock on Saturday and be closed on Sunday. We work, we have kids- these are the times we would come to the gym. Please please please considering amending your hours and staying open on Saturday evenings and all day Sunday for us women who are trying to stay healthy as we juggle all the things. I’m so grateful to have a female only space, but feel like I cannot use my membership adequately since it is closed at the most convenient times for a working woman.

Love the place. Childcare is great and caregivers are lovely. My son loves it and has a blast.
Not happy with childcare hours because it’s a woman’s place and it should be available for all typeOf schedules from different moms. I hope They can change this at some
Point.
Great option for a relaxing spa day

I have been a member of GHFC since 1983. This gym offers great value in these ways: a choice of 3 different sites, many group classes, expert help with enthusiastic instructors, free child care, and a wonderful community to support your individual health care goals. Too many perks to mention them all, but it is a pleasure to be a life long member!

I love it here! It's so clean and smells so nice and the location is perfect. I've been to a lot of gyms in Gainesville and this one is the cleanest. I just wish it were bigger and had more focus on weights than cardio equipment. Staff is really friendly and nice. The only reason it doesn't have 5 stars is because it needs (solely my opinion) a more thoughtful layout and variety of strength building items. They did get a hip thrust machine but the ROM on it is the worst, no one likes it so the smith machine is still the most used for thrusts....and there is only one smith machine. It would also be nice to see another type of leg press machine than is currently available. Besides that, the members are nice and there is a great locker room and access to group classes. Highly recommend!

It’s a great gym. It can get annoyingly crowded right before and right after work. I think it’s still worth it. I don’t like the limited hours at the women’s gym and wish they had childcare before work 6-7am would be great. Staff try to keep ppl satisfied.

I had the last of many frustrating experiences at the Women’s center and won’t be back. I went to a free weight machine and started to use it and one of the staff members approached me and told me I couldn’t use it because another member would need it shortly. That member was at another machine actively using it. I chose this machine because they put green cards all over the other ones to hold them for the same members that are using other machines at the time. I politely tried to discuss the situation with the staff member and she told me I could use other machines that I never use and then walked away while I was mid-sentence and stood there with her hands behind her back looking in another direction. It was rude and it was awkward, so much so that another staff member who was close by was kind enough to acknowledge what I was saying and apologized for the lack of space and machines at the center. I am frustrated that as a paying member, I am frequently blocked by staff from machines that aren’t being used, I have seen them sit there for up to 10/15 minutes without anyone using them. I have tried to work around it and continue coming to a place that is comfortable because it’s only women, but today I was actually pulled off an unused machine and treated very disrespectfully. I give this center two stars for the cleanliness and the quality of the equipment but if you want to lift weights this is not the place to go unless you pay extra money for the staff to reserve and guard machines for you.

So I joined this gym about nine years ago. I thought I was only signing up for a year so I went for six months and I allow them to continue to take money out of my account because I did not have the $200 for the cancellation fee. Then I moved and I figured since they got their money I thought nothing more of it. Nine years later they’re putting a lien on my car and I owe them $2700 now to get it taken off… this place is a HUGE SCAM!!! Read the fine print because you will be locked in and they will have attorneys knocking at your door next week!!!! Absolutely ridiculous offer a gym membership…

This is easily my favorite gym to go to because of how comfortable I feel there. Yes, space is limited and they don't have the widest ever range of equipment or free-weights (max dumbbell is 50 lbs.). However, I do find that they still have what you need to get an effective workout in and they are trying to add in more equipment! While it does get crowded at times, I think the wait times are still much shorter than some of the bigger gyms in town.
The staff have always been very kind to me; I know that they have to get other clients through on the line, so I don't mind letting someone else work in at all. Since it is limited on space, sharing is something I don't mind doing at all since it gets everyone done faster.
If you're looking for a good place to start and build a solid foundation, I think this is the perfect gym. It's comfortable, clean, relaxed, the staff are knowledgeable and kind, the atmosphere is great! I'd love to see a bit more equipment (fingers crossed for a back hyperextension machine), but they're doing a great job with the space that they have and the machines and equipment are maintained wonderfully. It's a great environment and I love seeing it grow! Especially if you have gym anxiety, I can't recommend it enough!!!

I've been a member of so many gyms in my life. This is by far my favorite. They have a wide variety of machines, equipments, and classes plus great amenities. I love "The Line", a set of machines where a staff member sets up all the machines as you start on the first, so each machine is set at the right seat location and weight when you get to it.
The space is clean and other members are respectful of everyone working out around them.

Such a wonderful gym! It's well set up, has plenty of helpful gals to set your weights and keep your workout flow flowing. The steam room, showers, and bathrooms are clean and inviting. I'm not a hot tub person because of chemicals and I have my own. I have traveled and visited other gyms and I see little comparison with this jewel

The location is really amazing. But there are quite a few negatives. (1) The space where the weights are is quite small and packed in the morning. (2) Some of the staff need better training and supervision as mentioned by other reviewers. Some of them are really unfriendly (I am saying this in a polite manner). It would be better if there would be more supervision of the staff. (3) The sauna area is really dirty. Make sure to bring flip flops because there is hair that his been sitting there for awhile.

For decades, this was my cherished retreat in the city of swamps. Then the manger at this club began allowing men into what, for decades by then, had been a women's only fitness center. Despite my complaints -- to the manager and to the owner, too -- men are even allowed into the women's locker room at this facility. It's unfortunate that political correctness in Swampville defeated common sense and ordinary decency and ruined what had been a great place for women to unwind and exercise without men around.

They have a great building with tons of workout options that are available. The only downside is that the center that is supposed to be exclusively for women apparently allows men dressed as women to attend their facility.

I love going to this center because it offers a good amount of choices and I never feel intimidated working out here . However , I have gotten screamed at several times by staff members for trying to use a machine that is supposedly reserved for someone else , even if that person was using another machine at the time. I don’t really find this fair since everyone is paying the same amount to utilize the gym and I just simply don’t appreciate getting screamed at when I’m just trying to work out.

Great place to workout because it offers so many options! Whether you enjoy running/ cycling the cardio floor offers many options. If you enjoy HITT workouts and need that extra little push, the Women's center at GHF offers a wide variety of workout classes that are held in a beautiful dance studio upstairs, that you can complete with a coach and feel comfortable with no men around .The employees are always super welcoming and helpful whenever I come to workout and always remember my name. WONDERFUL BUSINESS!
