SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) – Downtown Sarasota is now home to a fitness and recovery center that brings strength training, group fitness, personal training, and wellness recovery amenities under one roof
Jefferson Fit, located at 1800 Second Street, operates on the concept that training and recovery work hand-in-hand to build a healthier body. The facility is designed to support local residents from their most intense workouts through their post-exercise recovery
The gym’s recovery suite features modern wellness amenities designed to help members and visitors bounce back after exercise
These recovery options include:
- Cold Plunge: Cold-water immersion to reduce muscle soreness and inflammation.
- Dry and Infrared Saunas: Heat therapy options to aid cardiovascular health and detoxify.
- Compression Therapy: Dynamic compression sleeves to boost circulation and speed up muscle recovery.
- HaloRed Salt and Red Light Therapy: Combined dry salt and red light exposure to support respiratory wellness and skin rejuvenation.
During a live segment on Suncoast View, reporter Alyssa Perry visited the gym to experience its group fitness program firsthand. Perry suited up to try “Jumple”—a high-energy cardio class taught in specialized rebound boots
The class combines aerobic jumping movements with strength training, coordination, and fluid choreography. The rebound boots are specifically designed to absorb impact on the joints while maintaining a high-intensity, full-body workout
Instructor Anna Hura guided participants through the proper mechanics of the class, focusing on:
- Executing soft takeoffs and controlled landings
- Maintaining balance in the specialized rebound boots
- Engaging the core for constant stabilization
To give the public a low-pressure way to explore the facility, meet the trainers, and experience different forms of movement and recovery, Jefferson Fit is hosting a community Free Fit Day on Sunday, Sept. 6
The event runs from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. and is open to members, non-members, and individuals of all fitness levels
Free Fit Day activities include:
- A 5K run and walk winding through downtown Sarasota
- Sample mini workouts and fitness challenges
- Hands-on access to the facility’s recovery amenities
Jefferson Fit offers free parking on-site for all visitors
