Powerhouse Gym

Sadly, disappointed. That is the best thing i can say about this gym. It is not frowned upon by ownership to have employees behaving badly and harassing customers. On my first trip to the gym (after signing up), a female employee became very aggressive with me when I opted to reschedule my appointment with the trainer. I was petrified!! I do not feel safe returning to this gym. (Merrill Road) more

By far the best gyms in Jacksonville. Don't be fooled by these $10 a month gyms opening up on every corner - you get what you pay for! Bailey's has been in Jacksonville as long as I have lived here (at least 15 years) and they just keep getting better. If you want a quality place to work out, that is clean, and has a great staff - go to Bailey's. more

I have worked out at every single Bailey's Powerhouse gym there has been in Jacksonville over the last 8 years and in my opinion the Beaches facility is definatley my favorite! I think they have the best atmosphere/equipment/staff and members combination of any fitness center in the 904. Every one there is very kind and helpful and the gym really does cater to any and all people no matter how old or what one's individual fitness goal may be. more

This is a real gym and has lots of great equipment. The place is always clean and the people are great. My wife likes taking the classes and we can leave our son in the playroom. more

I have been doing the classes and they are great. I really love the zumba and powerpump. I go back and forth between the one in jax bch and atl bch. Randy Warren the personal trainer is the best trainer in town. more

The gym is great and the classes are fantastic. Rudy does a great job in spin. The gym is spotless and everything is always kept up. more

I read all of below reviews which made me skeptical, but after joining recently they employee at the counter clearly explained how the billing worked. In addition, it is probably the cleanest gym I have every been in. Try the Saturday morning TRX at 10:30! It is awesome. I have been in many gyms over the years, and have a pretty good idea of what to expect. Baileys honestly exceeded my expectations. The other gym which is fairly close off Atlantic Blvd. Is also very nice! more

Watch out for these guys and their rip off policies. What a lousy department of bookeeping and terrible customer service they have. I specified clearly that my credit card could not be charged for my monthly fees. My contract reflects that I did not sign any permission for this or fill out any information. I have paid monthly with online bill pay from my bank. The bank issues the check on the 2nd of the month. Baileys did not cash it until the 12th ! I was charged a late fee as the payment was due on the 6th. Additionally they charged a fee for a ""declined credit card"" when to my knowledge they should not even have my credit card information much less would it have been declined if they did have it. I made several phone calls to straighten this out and they simply said ""too bad"" ...even though they had cashed the checks! Any reasonable company would have removed the late charges as well as the declined credit card fees after a review of the situation. No wonder they have a declining membership! Cons: Aggressive billing and fee policies more

I had looked at a couple of other gyms in the area, but I work all around town, and Baileys was the only place that was where I needed to be. the staff doesn't attack you when you visit, but they are there when you need them and the facilities and equipment are first rate. Pros: helpful staff, good equipment, great hours Cons: I don't look as good as I could........yet! more

Baileys Gym, Might not want to here what I have to say but I made the Gyms like Baymedows and all the counters and tile designs for years with so called last man out job security and after 4 yr's I have tire tracks up and down my back and will most likely loose it all. More to come. Rating refects insults from an owner not staff. more

Make sure to read your contract carefully. Of course they do not tell you everything you need to know. My contract was for 9 mos and I thought it would terminate at the end of that time period, however, after being charged an additional month I called to inquire about the charge. I was told that my contract had began to run month to month and that I would also have to provide 30 days notice before cancelling. Therefore I was charged an additonal 3 months without my consent. Furthermore, you cannot provide notice of cancellation over the phone, but must go tot he gym or mail in a letter of cancellation. Needless to say, it has been the worst gym experience in my life. I prefer Gold'S Gym- execellent facilities and excellent customer service. more

After being a member for more than ten years, I can honestly say that Bailey's is the best gym. I've been to gyms in Houston, Chicago, and San Diego, but I like Bailey's best. I can see where my membership dues are going (New equipment, new locations), and if something breaks, it's repaired very quickly. It's not expensive, and the staff is super-friendly to me - most knowing me by name. Bailey's may not be for everyone, but if you give it an honest try, I'm sure you'll like it. It's a fun place to be! Pros: Selection and newness of equipment, clean, great staff Cons: The only thing they don't have is towels, but I can bring my own from home. more

my gym until i got the boot after 16 years for speaking up for them, would never have thought of leaving but thanks for kicking me out Pros: cheap and locations Cons: management, daycare, equipment , appearance more
