Great space, instructor and workout. They vibes were high. They have a lot of good equipment that's tough without being gimmicky.

GFX Fit has been a game changer! I've been going for a few weeks now and I'm hooked. McKenna is hands down the best trainer around—high energy, knowledgeable, and seriously gets results.

GFX is truly something special. It’s more than just a place to work out — it’s a community where you feel welcomed, supported, and inspired to push yourself. The classes are challenging in the best way, and I always leave sweaty, smiling, and proud of what I accomplished. Scott Baker is phenomenal. He coaches with intention, motivates without ego, and knows how to meet you exactly where you are. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced, he makes you feel capable and seen. I’ve tried countless gyms and programs, but nothing matches the atmosphere here. The energy is contagious, the workouts are thoughtfully programmed, and the people make you want to come back again and again. If you’re looking for a place that builds strength both physically and mentally — GFX is the one. Highly recommend!

Great space, instructor and workout. They vibes were high. They have a lot of good equipment that's tough without being gimmicky. The format of the workout was challenging but nice in that it wasn't a lot of quick moving from on station to the other like a lot of other gyms. They kept us moving almost the entire time so my muscles were shaking at the end. Will definitely come back!
