Enjoy the Convenience!
Alter Ego Fitness is a company that specializes specifically in personal training. Based in Gainesville, Florida, Alter Ego Fitness opened its first location in the large residential neighborhood named Haile Plantation in southwest Gainesville. The purpose for choosing this location was to create convenience to clients because we are located very near many residential homes. Our clients enjoy the luxury of not having to fight traffic to get to their place of exercise. Another luxurious quality of our service is the absence of “members” typically found at a membership based fitness facility. Alter Ego Fitness has a private studio atmosphere where only Personal Trainers and Clients are present at any given time. There are no members that are working out on their own. This is very appealing to many clients because there are no waits for fitness equipment and there is never an audience of people watching over you while you workout. Now, we have opened two additional locations in Downtown Gainesville and at Sun Country in Jonesville, right in the neighborhood of the residents of west-central Gainesville! Once again, we have brought the convenience of nearby fitness to another major residential sector of our hometown.
Sun Country
Because of its success in Haile Plantation, Alter Ego Fitness has opened another location in Jonesville at Sun Country Sports Center. This location is ideal for several reasons. First, it is also right in the neighborhood of many residents that live in Jonesville that do not want to travel far to exercise. Secondly, the facility is large and very useful for personal training and group fitness classes. Alter Ego Fitness has two private areas in the facility that are dedicated strictly for Alter Ego clients. However, during hours that the rest of the building areas are not being used by members of Sun Country, the entire facility can be used by Alter Ego Fitness. This includes the group fitness rooms where we will offer group fitness classes. These classes are called Fit4U classes and will be offered to both adults and children.
Downtown
We are proud to announce that Alter Ego Fitness Downtown has purchased the assets of the Downtown Athletic Club of Gainesville. This location differs from the other two because it is a full scale health club that offers memberships to customers. Many new and exciting changes are under way and will take place in the oncoming months. We have new state of the art free weight, user defined and cardio equipment. We are renovating, painting, re-flooring and opening up the floor plan in parts of the club and there will be a juice bar, pro shop and drink cooler added for your convenience.
No other Health Club in Gainesville offers the combination of a soothing atmosphere, terrific personal training, state of the art equipment, great customer service, racquetball facilities and saunas all in an intimate setting of 10,000 square feet.
What do we offer?
We offer 2 services:
- Personal Training for Adults (both locations)
- Personal Training for Children (both locations)
How do I get a Personal Trainer?
At Alter Ego Fitness we offer a free trail workout to anyone who thinks they may be interested in personal training. We start off with a free consultation that can be done over the phone or if you prefer, in person. During our free consultation, you will be asked many questions about your fitness goals, reasons for needing help, medical history, past exercise experiences and other expectations and needs you may have. We will then evaluate you answers and match you up with the personal trainer that fits your needs best. We have male and female trainers for those that have a gender preference. Finally, we will schedule your free workout with your personal trainer. You will be able to come in and workout for 55 minutes with no obligation at all. This will be a sample workout, for you to evaluate if you like the experience of our facility, your personal trainer and what it is like to have expert guidance and assistance every step of the way while you workout. Once your workout is finished, we will sit down with you and go over the details of packages you can purchase if you would like to continue. We have a “no pressure” sales philosophy at Alter Ego Fitness. Personal training is not for everyone, however, we are confidant that you will enjoy the benefits that so many people across the nation and around the globe are catching on to.

How much does it cost?
There are 3 factors that determine the cost for our services.
- The Experience of you Personal Trainer
- The length of your Workouts (One Hour or Half Hour)
- Number of Workouts you purchase
The first factor is the experience level of each particular personal trainer. Although all of our personal trainers are highly qualified and excellent at what they do, some of them are long time veterans in the field and cost more than the others.
We offer two types of workouts: One hour and Half Hour. This is the second factor that will determine the cost. Depending on the clients needs, some may choose half hour workouts to supplement other exercise outside of our facility.
The third factor is the size of the package you wish to purchase. We sell packages of workouts as follows:
12 One Hour Workouts
24 One Hour Workouts
48 One Hour Workouts
72 One Hour Workouts
24 Half Hour Workouts
48 Half Hour Workouts
A 12 session package will generally last around a month if you are using 3 Workouts per week, while the 72 Workout package will last six months or more. If you purchase a larger package, the per Workout rate is less than a smaller package. Most of our clients use 3 Workout per week. However, you are able to use the Workouts at whatever pace you choose, which will be the ultimate determination of how long your Workout last. Our procedure is to wait until you have tried a free Workout with us and we have been able to fully determine you needs before we go over which package is best for you and all prices.
Staff Excellence
Alter Ego Fitness prides itself in quality Personal Trainers. All of our trainers must be Nationally Certified by one of the most highly credited certification associations available or have a Bachelors degree or higher in Sports Exercise Science or Kinesiology. But that’s not all. We require more than just a National Certification or Bachelors degree. We also interview our trainer for other key components that make a personal trainer fit our standards and successful in their careers. We have a 2 part interview. First, we sit down with them and test their knowledge. We have them answer questions for many scenarios and issues they will face when training our clients. We look for personality, social skills, the ability to explain, demonstrate and teach and we look for good hearted people who want to help others. We also look for motivated trainers that strive for excellence in their own lives as well. Then we take them out on to the floor and have them train one of the managers for 30 minutes. We look for all of the skills necessary to train others in a safe, effective and expert manner. In order to obtain such quality personal trainers, we knew that compensating them fairly is necessary. Our trainers are compensated at a higher rate than any of the competitors in Gainesville. This has ensured that our staff represents the high standards of our services and company.
