We’re Not for Everyone—and That’s the Point

Look, if you love crowded weight rooms, waiting for equipment, and being just another number on a membership list, there are plenty of options. We’re not one of them.

JaxFit Academy is an exclusive strength training facility where each member gets more than just “gym time.” We customize your program, make sure you’re held accountable, and limit memberships so our focus stays on you—not on marketing a revolving door of sign-ups.

Real People, Real Results

Transformations from people just like you.

Our Method: Results Over Hype

  • Structured 60-Minute Sessions

    Each workout is planned to hit maximum intensity without burning you out or wasting your time. No waiting for machines. No “browsing” the gym. You come in, you get it done.

  • Tailored Fitness & Nutrition

    Generic classes and fad diets are a waste of your time. We craft both workouts and eating strategies that blend into your real life. If you can’t maintain it, we don’t prescribe it.

  • Relentless Accountability

    We do more than show you how to lift or squat. We keep you on track with consistent check-ins—because busy adults need structure, not another chance to vanish when life gets hectic.

Stop Wasting Money on a

Membership You Don’t Use

You know that cycle: sign up full of motivation, hit the gym for a while, then “life gets in the way.” Before you know it, you’re dodging automated billing calls while you haven’t worked out in weeks.

That’s exactly why we keep our community tight. We’d rather invest in each member’s success than churn through half-interested sign-ups. If we don’t deliver, you’ll walk—and we can’t hide behind cheap sign-up gimmicks.

Hi! We’re Pat and Catherine Henigan.

We’re the owners of Jacksonville Fitness Academy. We’re a family owned independent gym located in the heart of Mandarin. We’ve been open since 2017.

Our mission in life is to help busy adults like us (hello 2 kids under 6) build amazing bodies that look good and feel good.

We know what it’s like to be exhausted, stressed and feel like you have to put yourself last. That’s why we make sure every client is treated like family here at JaxFit- so you feel comfortable and supported every step of your journey. This is very important to us. We actually met when we were in our early 20s and working at a gym in Philadelphia. And we got engaged in the current JaxFit building in 2014.
