I was in a rut with ACL reconstruction recovery and traveling, away from my usual physical therapist. Dr. Peck saw me within my short window of visiting the area and did a full assessment, and then Megan saw me twice more. Their direction may have saved me from walking forever with a limp, seriously. They listened, prescribed personalized exercises, and answered all my many questions with patience and professionalism. These folks know what they’re doing, and they present a flexible schedule that made all the difference to me. Thank you so much!

GWP is an amazing Physical Therapy practice. Unlike most places, each session is 100% with your Therapist, not an intern or PTA. Dr. Rachel Peck is my PT and she has really helped me make a great deal of progress with treating carpal tunnel in a short period of time. She is extremely knowledgeable, explains home exercises to you in detail, and is fun to be around as well. Sessions are affordable too, and I'd rather pay out of pocket for this kind of experience than have my insurance pay for ineffective PT.

I cannot recommend GWP and Ryan enough! My gym recommended their services after some perpetual knee pain. Ryan was so accommodating with his schedule and with his help and expertise, I immediately felt relief! Ryan is so kind and caring, easy to talk to, and follows up regularly with my gym to help keep me on track with my progress. I am so grateful for all of his help!

I have dealt with a chronic condition for over 20 years and thought I knew everything about managing it. Saw Dr Haley Sweeney and she taught me so much more. I am feeling stronger and empowered. She is very patient, informed and fun to work with too! So glad that I gave PT another chance. It has really added to my quality of life. Very nice facility and staff too. (And easy parking which is rarity it Gainesville!!)

Lauren is amazing! Not only is she one of the best physical therapists I have worked with. She is kind, thoughtful and caring. Gainesville wellness and performance staff treats everyone like family. I would not want to go anywhere else. This is where I refer all my patients as well. I know if they come to GWP they will get the best therapy in town.

Jason, Lauren and their team are simply the best! I have had a variety of injuries related to running, weight lighting and tennis over the years and they have miraculously fixed me every time! Their approach is to create a treatment plan that enables the athlete to continue doing what they love while also healing their body. I always walk out of GWP feeling rejuvenated and relieved to have such caring professionals dedicated to helping me feel great and improving my performance.

Joining Gainesville Wellness and Performance has been truly life-changing. I came in with years of chronic pain and limited mobility, and through their guidance, I now move more freely and without pain—something I wasn’t sure would ever be possible. The trainers here are next-level: highly skilled, incredibly attentive, and genuinely compassionate. They’ve helped me unlearn years of misinformation about form and movement which has allowed me to surpass previous plateaus and stop constantly injuring myself. Their approach is thoughtful and personalized, never judgmental, and always focused on long-term well-being. But what makes this place stand out even more is the sense of community. It’s become so much more than just a gym—it’s a space where I feel supported, encouraged, and seen. I can show up, be myself and share a few laughs along the way. If you’re looking for a place that prioritizes acceptance, real health, and sustainable progress, without all the fads, competition, and performance, this is your place. You’re going to love it!

I have worked out under the guidance of GWP since its conception (over 10 years). I have an active lifestyle and enjoy lots of traveling. Having a regular, daily workout routine has helped to keep me strong and injury free. At 69, I feel fantastic! And to top it off , the coaches and my fellow workout buddies make it enjoyable.

I’ve been to many gyms, but Gainesville Wellness and Performance stands in a league of its own. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the difference—this is not just a place to work out, it’s a place to see real results. The environment is clean, modern, and incredibly well-equipped, with an emphasis on both performance and wellness. What truly sets this gym apart is the personalized approach to exercise. The trainers are knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely invested in your progress. Every session feels purposeful and efficient, tailored to help you reach your goals without wasting time or energy. If you’re looking for a facility that combines elite-level training with a strong focus on health and longevity, this is it. Gainesville Wellness and Performance delivers excellence at every level. Highly recommended.

Just a quick shout out to Gainesville Wellness and Performance (my gym). I’ve been using them consistently since their inception many years ago. Not just another gym, but a caring and organized health maintenance group with a great balance and focus on many aspects of personal health. They offer excellent personal training and group workout programs and are a big reason that, at 70, I’m still very active in life (with tennis, pickleball, golf, bike riding, surfing, snow skiing, hiking and most anything else outdoors). Thanks GWP for all you do.
