Look better, feel better BE better
Our Vision
We want Hyperswole to be a community where people truly want to be. A place where coming to the gym is more than just a workout — it’s about connecting with friends, with us, and with yourself. We are obsessed with creating a facility that you are proud to recommend to your friends and family. A place where you come to create, change and grow!
Our Mission
We empower clients to make permanent lifestyle changes through a series of short-term, attainable goals. We do this by focusing on two key components: confidence and consistency. Our real-world approach combines strength training, functional movement, and nutrition coaching to help achieve real, sustainable results that will allow you to look and feel like the best version of yourself!
The Hyperswole Story
Welcome to Hyperswole Gym! Here is a quick story about who we were, who we are becoming and what we offer our members.
Hyperswole gym was established in 2016 by the late Matt Thornton. If you didn’t know Matt, he was a bit of a fitness legend around Jacksonville’s beaches. Famous for his larger than life physique with a personality to match, Matt loved helping people realize their potential in the gym. Especially student athletes! His specialty centered around coaching local athletes, many of whom went on to play at the collegiate level.
Sadly, Matt passed away unexpectedly in early November 2023, leaving the gym and the community he had so carefully created, without a leader. As fate would have it, Chris Phillips with and his wife Rachel, were working as personal trainers in Hyperswole Gym. They saw the immediate need to jump in and keep the gym open.
Fast forward and the gym is thriving! Chris and Rachel have assumed the role as owners, and Matt’s spirit is still alive inside these four walls. With his unique artwork covering every inch of the 4,000 sq ft training facility. IYKYK 😉
While Hyperswole continues to offer the cities largest indoor turf, sports specific equipment and daily workouts, the focus has shifted to providing high level private and semi private training for members.
