Liv Athletic

Fantastic experience: I started up at Liv Athletic about 3 months ago after being talked into joining by my partner. I'm a grad student at UF and am generally busy working crazy hours, and through the years had given up on consistent exercise and practicing self-care. At the time I had a gym membership and managed to get myself into a routine, but I was on my own in terms of designing my workouts, so I found exercising on my own to be a chore and had a really hard time fitting it into my schedule. I was pretty ambivalent about joining a CrossFit gym and had all sorts of preconceived notions about the types of people that I'd come across there and the sorts of things that we'd be doing. After talking to Chris, the owner, over the phone before starting up, and then taking a few classes, I realized what a great decision we'd made. Liv is made up of an amazing group of people who are welcoming, supportive, and fun. The classes are relatively short and there are plenty of slots open during the week to fit into any schedule, even one as crazy and unpredictable as mine can be. The weekday workouts can be super intense but I've gotten back into the mode of enjoying that, and there's a friendly sense of competition from time to time which is fun. The team workouts on Saturdays have been really nice for my partner and me and are a great way to kick off the weekend. I'm looking forward to continuing my membership at Liv and 100% recommend joining to anyone who is on the fence about it.

Fantastic experience: Being a part of LIV Athletic has been such a blessing in my life! The coaches and staff are absolutely amazing!!! I love that the workouts are never the same so I am never bored! The coaches always know how to motivate me and I love seeing how much stronger I continue to get! Couldn't recommend this place enough! You also make amazing friends who help keep you accountable and push you to be your best!

Fantastic experience: I love this gym! I've been a Liv member since 2019 and can't picture my life in Gainesville without it. The community is so fun and supportive - our coaches are always looking out for you, whether it's to help you challenge yourself or work around injuries (that last part has been a godsend for me!) Liv has definitely hit a sweet spot of making workouts fun and impactful while also helping us learn new skills and challenge ourselves. Coming here has also helped me grow into a healthier mindset around fitness and I'm so grateful for that. If you're looking to invest in yourself, grow your confidence, and meet some great people - this is absolutely the place to do it :)

Fantastic experience: I've always been committed to physical fitness and even had a pretty good work out program at home during the early part of the pandemic. But then I just lost it and couldn't get the spark back. Thankfully, I joined LIV Athletic at 60. Almost a year later I feel optimistic, I am stronger, core-sturdy, and energetic. I feel fantastic and bullet proof in my active life! My metabolism is wide awake - food is fuel again, not self-medication. More than anything, I love it because the LIV gym is SUCH a HAPPY place! Workouts are FUN, friendly, sometimes we get silly (but the fitness gains are hardcore SERIOUS, always). I haven't had physical accomplishment highs like I get every week now, in a very long time! The depth of expertise on the coaching staff is AWESOME - staff are personable, skilled, knowledgeable, and seriously trained! Workouts are fresh, safe, and progressive and the staff put a lot of effort into the curriculum design. Stale doesn't get anywhere near LIV! Members at all levels are fully supported in pursuing life-long fitness goals. It is a safe place because LIV knows how to do it right. I LOVE LIV Athletic! So glad I joined. You will be too!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful trainers that safely push you to do your best at your pace. I have personally lost 3% body fat in 12 weeks. This only required me to dedicate 3 days a week and willingness to try different techniques that I have never used. I am one that has tried all types of programs and diets but this one truly works! Another part of the program that I really appreciate is the nutrition recommendations. They don’t limit what you can eat but look for healthier options that have reachable goals. I have to say, for the first time in my life, I actually look forward to going to the gym. Highly recommend!
