Mark is a great man, stand up guy. Always there to help... Liz not so much. Shes more concerned about working out. Anyway.. Great place to get in shape and they actually care about people here. Tons of class times, you wont find that anywhere else.

I absolutely love the atmosphere! The vibe and drive from everyone! I was fortunate to meet some great women who now are apart of my everyday life!! #WOLFSQUAD! But shout out to Rarrrryyy for being the absolute best in everything! From welcoming me and pushing me, to welcoming my boyfriend and making him feel comfortable to assisting me many times with my account issues!! Some people weren’t much help but I can always go to Rary! When y’all sign up ask for her!! She got you!!! Best coach hands down!!!!!!!

First week was a lot of struggles to be honest with you but everyone here is so positive and kind, they always encourage each other to keep pushing through the workouts. The coaches are amazing. They are so understanding. No judgements from anyone whatsoever. And its for all levels.Its been a month since I joined and I LOVE the community. Its become such a meaningful part of my everyday life, and I am so grateful for HEW.

HEW is the best gym that Ive ever been to. The Coaches are amazing and the members are very supportive. There are days when I have some challenges and cant do the exercise as stated but they always provide alternatives that give me a great workout as well. Great environment and I have been a member for over four years and love going everyday. Proud HEWMan!!!!

I was super nervous joining a CrossFit class but the coaches and members welcomed me with open arms and I absolutely love going. I never saw results from a workout until I started with them and quickly saw results with in the first month. I have been a member since Feb and I’ll recommend them to anyone. My favorite things about this gym are no clicks, everyone motivates one another and they work to mold any work out to what best fits you. If you want a great and fun work out I highly recommend Hew you won’t regret it!

I cant say enough great things about this gym! I remember the first day walking in and just feeling so welcome. Then after the first week, I felt as though my family had just grown, and my muscles! HEW gave me a family and knowledge of the gym and showed me my true passion for working out. The class setting is perfect to me and everyone is so helpful and sweet! I have made many friends there and am still close to all of them. It was also incredible how much my body changed even after a short amount of time and how strong I got! They pushed me to get better everyday and every gym needs that. Best gym in Jacksonville by far!

Ive had a personal trainer before that did not get me the results Ive received from HEW. The intense workouts are worth it. The staff is amazing. Its always a team effort. No man left behind attitude. In the 6 months Ive been a member, I lost 50 lbs. HARD EXERCISE WORKS. A special thanks to Mark & Liz, but Katie you & Sunny gives me inspiration. Try HEW if you real results.

I would give 100 stars if I could! Joining HEW has been life changing for me, and I couldnt be happier about it. HEW is not a gym - its a family that encourages you to do and be your best. Each and every workout is challenging, but fun, and no two are the same. The coaches inspire, motivate and help you realize that you can do so much more than you thought possible. I look forward to going every single day and am extremely grateful that I found HEW San Marco.

This is the best thing you could ever do for yourself! HEW has been a life changing experience for me. Ive done things there that I never thought I could. You work hard but its so worth it. The Coaches are the best, hands down. They are truly experts on Crossfit. They are caring, attentive and motivating, taking the time before each session to demonstrate each exercise and modifications. Ive changed the way I eat and the way I treat my body,that alone is worth it. HEW=an investment in yourself that you wont regret.

I stated at HEW San Marco a little over a year ago. I signed up for the 5 week boot camp to kick start my fitness. At that point in my life, I had never lifted a weight. EVER. In fact, the idea of lifting scared me. But then I went to my first class and everyone was so nice and helpful. The coaches showed me how to preform proper lifting and exercise techniques. All of the movements had modifications that were less intimidating. The coaches ask you what your goals are and help you to achieve those goals. It was more then just a gym, it was a community, a family who genuinely wants you to succeed. After the 5 weeks I was sold. I signed up for a membership and I havent regretted it! I can now do pull ups, push ups, lift weights, and so much more! I love the coaches, I love the gym, and I love the members. Hard exercise truly does work and if youre looking for more than just a gym youve found the right place. Come check it out, your first workout is free!

This place has changed my life. From the moment I started I was challenged in my fitness without feeling intimidated. Mark and Liz (the owners) are awesome and the others you meet in the class become like a family. You will not regret checking out HEW San Marco.

I cannot say enough about this gym. More than a gym it really is like a family atmosphere. The coaches are the best in the business. I have been there about 5 months and the gains in strength are only outnumbered by the loss in inches. Their system works if you follow it. I am doing things now in my 50s that I couldnt do when I was 30. Mark, Liz, Sunni, Dean , Katie and now Leah provide the motivation and the education. All I have to do is work hard and the results come. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking to get faster, stronger and leaner.

My first encounter with HEW was with a Groupon deal. I tried out the 5 week boot camp and loved the atmosphere. The coaches were very helpful and everyone was very welcoming. The thing I love most about HEW was that I worked at my own pace until I was able to gain strength and endurance. Also you have everyone encouraging you and giving you support. HEW is a great place to workout at and you will see results if you put that work in.

I love my HEW workout. I had belonged to various gyms through the years and never had the motivation I have with HEW. I joined the boot camp almost a year ago in October. My oldest son got married in July and that gave me plenty of time to get in shape and look better. And I did it. And if this - ahem- mature, out of shape, non athletic woman can do it and learn to love it, anyone can. There are still things I cannot do and may never be able to accomplish but I have progressed and I am thrilled. Everyone is wonderful and doing a workout with a group can be inspiring. We really help each other. So thanks Liz and Mark, Katie and Sunni, Nick and Dean and now Leah for being great coaches and teachers. I am a member now and plan to be forever!Really. If I can do it, anyone can. Its not easy but you will see results. It works. Hard Exercise Works!

This place is great. You really feel like you are part of a family when you work out, and if you are a beginner, thats fine, they walk you through everything. I love being part of the HEW family.

Holy cow! These guys prove that their company name is for real as its very Hard. But thats what Im paying for. If you want to over pay, then join the typical club. But if you want real results with paying a very fair price and with people who are awesome then HEW in San Marco is where you need to go. I promise you that Im a client who was not asked to write this! See you there!

I came to HEW a year ago for their boot camp. I work out at the gym and run a lot but most of the time alone. I wasnt sure how I was going to feel about working in a group setting but I was bored and looking for something a little more motivating. I took their first class which was free and signed up that day. I have learned so much about fitness and what my body can do with hard work and effort. The family atmosphere they foster at HEW is amazing. From the minute you walk in the door you feel a part of things. This place is not just a gym. It is my home away from home.

I love HEW San Marco so much and Im so happy I joined 2 1/2 months ago. It had been years since I stepped foot into a gym or had a regular exercise program, but the amazing coaches at HEW met me where I was with encouragement and support. I have already overcome so many I cants! and gained so much confidence as I feel myself getting stronger!

Before starting at HEW the only exercise Id ever done on a regular basis was distance running. I have been at HEW for over a year now and I LOVE it. Every day is different, and the coaches tailor exercise to the ability of the individual. Cant recommend highly enough.

This is literally the most fun Ive ever had when it comes to going to the gym. In the past, gyms never worked for me because I would get bored but this gym is always fun and makes me wanna come back. I used to be a ball now Im fit, I highly recommend this place.

Review №27

Joining HEW has been one of the best decisions Ive made for myself in a long time. Im very overweight and out of shape. I thought I wouldnt be able to keep up but I was wrong. Everyone is so positive and encouraging. If I cant do something, the coaches show me a way to modify. Within the first couple of weeks, I was already doing things I couldnt do on my first day. Im losing weight, building muscle, and gaining endurance. Thank you, HEW!!!

HEW has provided the group workout environment that I have needed. Being a Veteran, I appreciate the intense group workouts and the expectation of the coaches to push beyond your own percieved limits. To become the best you, you can be. They remind me daily that its a journey to get physically fit and that everday I gain endurance and strength. I have lost 20lbs, I can run distances that were unheard of for me in the past, and I lift more than I ever have. My kegger is beginning to look more and more like a 6 pack every week. HEW has allowed me to make working out not just a fad but a lifestyle that I am dedicated to.
