About Us
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 5) build amazing bodies that look good, feel good and spark confidence.
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 2015.
This is the first picture we took together.
We take the stress and confusion out of your fitness and nutrition by creating a personalized plan for you. We don’t want you to live in the gym, and we don’t want you to only have to eat chicken and kale. We want you to enjoy life while building the body of your dreams. We’d love to see you soon.
