History
In 1984, after realizing many women wanted a private environment, Gainesville Health & Fitness Center (est. 1978) built a health club exclusively for women in Thornebrook Village. Our mission is to make Gainesville the healthiest community in America, one person at a time and one business at a time. Our core purpose is to improve the quality of people's lives by making physical fitness a permanent component of their lives. And our vision is to become one of the best businesses for the world.
