CrossFit^® Total Control

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience with these guys. I was visiting family in Jacksonville and wanted to get a good workout in, so I called a few in the area. The first two didn't pick up the phone, but Crossfit Total Control did, and they told me to come on by. I got a great workout led by knowledgeable instructors who were patient with my questions—How do we count rounds for this? What weight should I start with for this? The facility has a great vibe with huge open doors and an outdoor space—looks kinda like an airplane hanger—and the other guests were fun and joked around a lot. Great experience. I'll definitely be returning next time I'm back in town.

Fantastic experience: I have been in the fitness industry for the last 20 years. During that time I have been a personal trainer in large chain gyms and small fitness centers and have managed several teams of trainer. I can say without a shred of doubt that I have never had as much fun as I do being part of CrossFit Total Control. The coaches are well trained and knowledgeable but beyond that they make the classes interesting and unique. There are way too many places to workout that give you the feeling that the coaches are just doing their jobs. At CrossFit Total Control you can tell the coaches have a genuine love and appreciation for CrossFit and helping people reach their fitness goals. While great coaching is a must when choosing a CrossFit gym the most important part is people that you get to train with when you're there. The environment at CFTC is one of family and support. The word community isn't just a tag line there. You can ask anyone about how much they enjoy their time at the gym and at gathering outside of the gym for pub crawls, birthday parties, and the occasional Jaguar Game. If you're trying to answer the question, which is the best box in town, then I encourage you to check around. Just make sure CFTC is your last stop because once there you'll have your answer.

Fantastic experience: I've been working out for a long time, I was a collegiate football player but have only been doing Crossfit for under a year. There have been a few gym I have been too because I move around a lot, but this is by far the best gym I have ever been to. The people are fantastic, everyone is so welcoming. The coaching is top notch, better than anything I've had (including the coaching I had in college), and I've never been in better shape in my life. If you're looking for a gym to go to, this is the best gym in the South.

Fantastic experience: Great place, Well organized and quality equipment.Friendly coaches and management who work one on one with you. For someone like me who was new to Crossfit, I have been guided extremely well. I had previously done a bit of boxing workout for fitness but this took me to a different level for strength and conditioning.I had initially joined to try for three months and now I never want to quit. Also an amazing place to socialize and make new friends. This place operates like a community.

Fantastic experience: I had been to other CrossFit gyms before but but until I got to this one I immediately fell in love. I used to dread working out but now I can't to make it to the gym and get my workout in. The whole place from the atmosphere, the members, and the coaches are awesome. This gym is dedicated to their members from helping the people that just started to the vets. I would highly recommend this fine training facility to anybody!

Fantastic experience: Hi Google reviewers... so I travel quite a bit and have dropped multiple boxes throughout the country... I was referred to CrossFit Total Control to pick-up some protein while visiting JAX and was enthusiastically invited by Russ to drop-in for a WOD if I had time... So, I did and I had a wonderful workout coached by Tom with a little help from Tiffany. I feel like most of what you get out of a WOD is what you put into it along with your coaches ability to watch your form and provide encouragement. Not only did Total Control have wonderful coaches, but their members were great too. It was a very fun WOD and everyone was friendly and inviting. It was also one of the largest and cleanest boxes I've attended. Thanks Tom, Tiff, and Russ! Will definitely see you next time I'm in JAX!!!

Fantastic experience: Came to CFTC for a drop in around the holidays. Emailed ahead of time to confirm and Russell responded almost immediately and was very welcoming. Nice large, facility with more than enough high-quality equipment. While the class was larger than what I'm used to, there were multiple coaches who all took an interest in welcoming me and giving constructive feedback. The programming was great and interesting too. Will definitely drop in next time I'm back.

Fantastic experience: Since high school, I have worked out in a gym. I finally became a personal trainer 3+ years ago and came across CrossFit shortly thereafter. Going to the normal gym became boring for me and I needed a work out that was more challenging and interesting. I visited a few CrossFit gyms in Jacksonville and although they were all great, they failed in comparison to CrossFit Total Control. CrossFit Total Control has everything you read about in all the CrossFit blogs written from people across the world. The box itself is huge, there's a vast amount of equipment, the coaches are all very knowledgeable and credible and they offer a variety of class times. What sticks out to me is the community. It's everything you could want in a CrossFit box. People are the friendliest, most supportive group of athletes imaginable. If you are nervous walking into your first WOD, that feeling of uneasiness doesn't last long there because of all the friendly members.

Fantastic experience: I've been doing CrossFit for about 3 years. When I travel I love dropping in at a local gym. Most of the time it's a good experience, sometimes it's not so good and every once in a while I'm blown away at the quality of coaching that I receive. CrossFit Total Control is easily one of the best gym's I've been to. The facility is fantastic, the equipment plentiful and most importantly the coaching is first rate! During my short 5 days in Jacksonville, I met Russel, Nate and Tom. These guys are quality dudes who take an intense interest in everyone during the hour we all spend together. Before I selected CrossFit Total Control I searched out other gyms in the area. I am 100% confident I found the premier CrossFit gym in the Jax Beach area. If you live in the Jax Beach/Atlantic Beach area, do yourself a favor and join this outstanding facility. If you're just visiting, look no further and stop to meet these awesome people! You will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: I have been doing CrossFit for two years now and Total Control was the first gym I attended. Since then I have dropped into various boxes and competed in numerous events. My exposure in other environments has reinforced my opinion that from the coaches, to the camaraderie, and to the gym itself, it is hands down the best box around.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Total Control was the first CrossFit Box I ever tried and by far the best I've ever done (and I've tried a few others for an extended period of time in my travels). The coaches are great and very knowledgable. They're constantly improving and trying new things and getting different kinds of equipment. I love that there's so much focus on form, and doing things right and safely. The workouts are diverse and structured so that you're improving different muscle groups; they're not just randomly chosen everyday. There's also a lot of focus on stretching as well. At other CrossFit gyms I have felt lost in a crowd; here I have never felt that way. I really can't say enough about CrossFit Total Control; without a doubt the best CrossFit gym around. If you're looking for diverse workouts, this is the place to go. In short, I'm glad I started my CrossFit journey with knowledgeable coaches and smart programming.

Fantastic experience: Stopped in for a quick workout on my family vacation and was extremely pleased with my experience. Russell, Nate, and the members I was able to meet were very welcoming. I was initially nervous about working out with new trainers in an unfamiliar gym. My concerns were quickly erased as soon as I walked in. Nate and one of the members even stayed after the workout was over to help me work on my technique for a few of the elements of today's workout. I highly recommend CrossFit Total Control to people interested in trying CrossFit as well as experienced CrossFitters looking for a facility to drop in while visiting Jacksonville Beach.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love total control. The coaches are amazing and really push you to your limits. For me, I had never done crossfit before until one of my sorority sisters convinced me to come by and try it. Now I'm hooked. It keeps my body guessing and I've been able to lose fat and gain back my muscle I used to have when I was competitively figure skating. Total Control is amazing and I've really enjoyed my time in the box

Fantastic experience: Love both locations but hands down best CF gym in Jax!! If fitness and community is your thing this is definitely the place to be.

Fantastic experience: Its nice when a coach actually coaches you and lets you know what you need to fix. Thanks Brooke for helping with my split jerk.

Fantastic experience: The best CF gym in Jax!! Been part of this community for a year and I absolutely loved it. Everybody is super welcoming. The coaches are very knowledgable and helped me to keep developing my skills. The programming is awesome. Highly recommend to come and check it out!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym - great facilities and even better coaches! Always a pleasure to drop in when I'm back in town!

Fantastic experience: Dropped in while visiting family over the Thanksgiving Holiday. Everyone was super friendly and the coaches were very knowledgeable. WODS were well programmed and easy to scale for every level. Will definitely be back next time I’m in town.

Fantastic experience: My husband visited this gym while we were traveling. “Great atmosphere. Friendly people. Very welcoming for someone just traveling through the area.”

Fantastic experience: Really cool spot to train. Awesome outdoor rig set up. Lots of stellar athletes go here if your looking for more elite level training! There is also the normal training crew there if your just looking to be fit! Easy parking and Ascent protein for sale in house!

Fantastic experience: Best CrossFit gym in Jacksonville! As a fellow box owner, I appreciate a high quality operation with great coaching and programming! Huge facility with an outdoor workout area, can’t beat it!! Owner Russ is very involved in the business and ensures it runs with excellence. Whether you have experience or are just starting on your fitness journey, this is the place to go!!

Fantastic experience: The BEST gym in Jax! The coaches are so enthusiastic and helpful from the moment you walk in the door. Always get the best workout when I go and leave with the biggest smile on my face. All the people are so motivating and fun to be around. Definitely a family you’d want to be a part of!

Fantastic experience: Incredible experience at CrossFit Total Control. Russ was fantastic and beyond welcoming. Nate, one of the coaches, was great about giving feedback on the lifts and simplifying things. Great group overall, very welcoming and friendly. Awesome workout, would highly recommend to anyone in the area. They let me join a workout for the day as I am on vacation here. Thankful for my experience here and the people I met today!

Fantastic experience: Today was my first time at CrossFit Total Control and I had such a great experience! Russell was very friendly and welcoming, as well as the coaches and clients. Awesome facility and offered cleaning spray in multiple areas of the gym to keep things clean. Can’t wait to come back!

Fantastic experience: CFTC is where I was introduced to CrossFit over two years ago. Since moving I have tried several other gyms but nothing compares to the facilities and coaching that I received at CFTC. There is plenty of floor space so you never feel crowded and the coaches are very proactive about moving around the floor to observe and help with technique when needed. If you’re looking to drop in I highly recommend CFTC you won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: I had been traveling all week and ended up in Jacksonville. Stopped by CrossFit Total Control to see if I could workout for the evening. It just so happened that the owners were there and welcomed me with open arms. Allowed me to workout for a very reasonable price, provided an excellent facility, well trained staff and good equipment. I would highly recommend anyone in the area to stop by and check this place out.

Fantastic experience: If you are curious about CrossFit or have been doing it for years, definitely try this place out. The coaches are incredibly helpful and there is no pressure to try anything you are not comfortable with. The workouts are well planned and produce amazing results. I can't say enough good things about this place and the community there, it's easily the best gym in Jax Beach.

Fantastic experience: Great Crossfit gym I've been going to for almost a year now. I have seen dramatic improvements in all movements including Olympic lifts and gymnastic movements. The coaching is top notch and all staff are friendly and more than willing to help you. I suggest this box to anyone wanting to improve themselves mentally and physically no matter what fitness level you are.

Fantastic experience: While in Jacksonville for work, I dropped in CrossFit Total Control Rivers Edge and was overwhelmed by how accommodating and kind Liz is! She is an extremely encouraging coach and motivator. The space is large with great energy. I highly recommend and look forward to any time I can go back!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym and the coaches! I'm actually in the best shape of my life from working out here from October-February. Great community and people. Would definitely recommend. The coaches are really encouraging to keep challenging yourself but also help with modifying when ya need to!

Fantastic experience: I love this gym and the sense of community it offers. I was given the recommendation to try this CF gym by a friend who has been to multiple CF gyms in Jacksonville, NE Florida, and SE Georgia. I am so glad they gave me this recommendation because the experience has been incredible. If I am nervous about a specific workout, the owner will talk to me about my concerns and make me feel 100% better. I am a marathon runner and I am confident when it comes to cardio exercises, but I have never done any weightlifting and CF always seemed like something that I would never have the guts to pursue. I am really glad found this gym. Every week you get stronger :)

Fantastic experience: I dropped in on Memorial Day weekend for Murph, It was unbelievable! It’s now my go to place while visiting my family in Jax. Super welcoming gym and great coaches: Russ and Nate. I love this gym and the sense of community it offers, nice facility with both indoor and outdoor workout space. Lots of energy and motivation.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly vibe! Felt like I was at my home box! Nate is an awesome coach. Kept me in check (as to not to over do it) and also scaled where I needed it due to a recent injury. I will definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: **Good Looking People EVERYWHERE!** Super welcoming gym, great coaches- Nate, Russ & Tom are awesome. I've been in the CF community for a long time, and it's awesome to be able to have such a welcoming group of coaches and athletes. Did I mention, everyone there is also good looking?!

Fantastic experience: Have dropped in a few times now while home visiting family and I've really enjoyed it every time! Both the coaches and community are super friendly. For larger classes, they have multiple coaches watching form and giving helpful tips. They make an effort to get to know a bit about you and make sure you feel welcome. Workouts are tough and varied and the space is great. Definitely will be back!

Fantastic experience: Dropped in here while visiting family in Jacksonville. Great facility with both indoor and outdoor workout space. Coaches were knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. The class was well run and had a good vibe to it. Would definitely work out here again!

Fantastic experience: There are lots of boxes to choose from in Jacksonville, but we chose to drop in at CFTC because of the qualified list of coaches on the website. Coach Nate lived up to the expectation. He was friendly and managed a large class well. The owner was also welcoming and seems to take pride in providing a superior experience for anyone who walks through his garage doors.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to CFTC for about 2 months now and absolutely love it! I’ve been to a couple of Crossfit gyms around Jax and CFTC has by far been the best gym. The gym is huge and they have lots of Crossfit equipment that I haven’t seen at other gyms. Although they have tons of cool equipment, the coaches and the environment were what sealed the deal for me to become a member at CFTC. There are 3 coaches that monitor and help you to make sure you’re doing the WOD correctly. They are super friendly, fun, and all about making sure everyone gets a good workout safely. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone that wants to get a good full body workout.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in here this morning. Great gym with a really welcoming 6am crew. The class was efficiency run and the WOD was fun and challenging. If you're ever in Jax Beach you should definitely drop-in here. I'll definitely be back when I'm in town again.

Fantastic experience: Awesome CrossFit Gym!! I was a member in the past for over 2 years until I moved for work. The coaches are amazing and very knowledgeable. The equipment is top notch and they are always supplying the gym with something new. Whether it be new barbells, OLY plates or even pullup rigs. Every time I am in Jacksonville, I make it a point to drop in. I highly recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: 10/10 gym! I dropped in for a Saturday WOD and it was an amazing experience. The coaches were helpful and supportive, and the members at this box were equally as great. The facility is extremely large w enough pull up bars, barbells, and weights to go around for everyone. I highly recommend this gym for anyone regardless of fitness level

Fantastic experience: Dropped in here this week while in town for work after finding them on Google. What a great experience! Very welcoming, great coaching - gave me feedback on my lifts as if I were one of the members and cared for form above weight which I appreciate. Well programmed workout and very challenging and fun! The place seems to have great attendance and I can tell why after spending a couple hours there. Thanks for letting me drop in and look forward to the next visit when I am in town!

Fantastic experience: Came in for a drop in with next to zero crossfit exposure/knowledge and loved every second! The coaches were phenomenal and focused on correct form for every portion of the workout. I didn't know some of the terminology, but they broke down every movement and made sure there was good understanding by all before moving on, which was immensely appreciated. And the encouragement, from coaches AND regulars, was incredibly motivating!

Fantastic experience: Loved the gym! Staff is awesome and they were very understanding when my girlfriend and myself just wanted to come in and lift with the weightlifters. As a weightlifter who travels often it is sometimes hard to find a box that is open to weightlifters dropping in to lift. I would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere with top notch coaches. The perfect Crossfit box. Super friendly staff. Drops in are always welcomed. Class sizes are never too big and there is always a coach around to help ensure you're doing movements and lifts correctly. Highly recommend joining.

Fantastic experience: Dropped into this gym today with my girlfriend and brother. My brother has been going for several months and really likes it, after working out there I can easily see why. I have been to dozens of gyms all over the world and this ranks among the best. The gym is incredibly well equipped with everything I would want to workout. The coaches were some of the friendliest and most helpful I have ever experienced. They were adept at identifying which members would benefit from additional attention and kept everyone safe and happy. The wod was intense but a lot of fun. The only downside to the whole experience was that Russ, the owner, was caught doing some bicep curls when I arrived and there is no functional utility of that movement, j/k.

Fantastic experience: I came up for a week visit to Jacksonville and needed a box to work out at. There's plenty of other crossfit gyms around, but for some reason i decided to try Total Control out... BEST DECISION I made! They are awesome. Everyone at the box is friendly and welcoming and all the trainers are amazing. They don't just give you a workout and leave you to it, they make sure you're doing it right and to your fullest potential. When I move to Jacksonville, this is definitely the box I'm going to!

Fantastic experience: I've dropped in to gyms all across the country, and by far Total Control has been my favorite so far. The outdoor/indoor area is fairly unique (and pretty bad ass in my opinion). The class I dropped into had 3 coaches that were all attentive and there to help (unfortunately this isn't the case everywhere). And to round out the package the community seemed awesome! This gym is truly for everyone, from the competitive crossfitter to the person looking to get back into shape.

Fantastic experience: I went with my friend Kerrin today, to Crossfit Total Control and had a great experience. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly! The environment was clean, and motivating. The coaches did a terrific job challenging us while making us feel a part of the family. Thanks for a great experience!

Fantastic experience: I started with Crossfit total control in 2012 and absolutely fell in love with it!!! It really becomes a second family that encourage you to do your best and reach your goals! The coaches are amazingly knowledgeable and put in an effort for each athletes individual needs and goals! By far this is the BEST Crossfit gym in the Jacksonville area!!! And I would recommend it to everyone!!!

Fantastic experience: Among the many gyms I've had the opportunity to be apart of and join their community, CrossFit Total Control has got to be one of my favorites without question. The community was, in true CrossFit fashion, more than willing to accept me in the class with a full round of introductions following a good warm up. The facility itself was simply amazing with the layout and equipment available. The coaching was awesome with great ques throughout the workout. I wish I wasn't only visiting because I could see myself quickly calling this place a second home.

Fantastic experience: Recently moved back to Jacksonville and joined this gym. It has been a great experience and the coaches and members make showing up enjoyable and something to look forward to throughout the day. Coaching staff focus on technique and making sure everything is scaled to the individual and making everyone comfortable with deciding on a challenging yet doable workout for them.
