Absolutely best health and fitness gym around. This place has the best and most friendly staff who treat everyone as though they are family. If you want to be a part of something special then you should come here.

Never in my life have I smelled such a strong chlorine odor. What are you hiding. My experience would have been more enjoyable if the guy at the squat rack next to me didn't loudly moan every rep. That alone was decently distracting, but then I noticed he was also erect. Since then I haven't been back, but I do miss the chlorine stench

Been a member for 10 years. Sauna almost never works. Hot tub was inoperative for six weeks, with a sign that said "temporarily inoperative". And another sign that said "Franco's, moving forward, never standing still".I'd be embarrassed to put that slogan next to that 1960's hot tub. Mens locker room is filthy. Seems like zero $ is put back into the place.

I've been a member for almost 20 years and I love it. Great aquatics program, friendly and plentiful staff, clean, good weight room. They have always been willing to upgrade equipment and facilities through the years. Very happy with the place.

Our whole family loves Franco's! This gym has everything you need. It is always clean, plenty of machines and equipment, many options for classes and the staff is super helpful. They offer activities for kids. All of my kids went to swimming lessons here and we recently participated in the summer swim team. It was very well ran and a great experience. The childcare center is wonderful - my little one never wants to leave! They offer summer camp every year also. The gym has a salon and an amazing spa as well. It is the perfect option for a gym, and so much more, for our family!

I signed up this year for the summer session and I really did enjoy the experience at Franco's. The weekend movie nights were a hit with the kids and gave us some much needed down time. My youngest also did summer swimming and that was just awesome, great instructors who are serious about what they do. The equipment selection is great as well for working out and I always found the staff to be friendly. If anything I think they could expand their food menu a bit, but overall this place is convenient and fairly priced in my opinion. I'll definitely be continuing my membership.

I'd like to make it clear that I've been going to Franco's on and off literally since the day it opened in the 1980s. I even worked there in college and this is a first-hand review of my experience and my feelings about how the club handles the safety of its' older members, two of whom are my parents.The fact that Franco's got my original review taken down instead of absorbing the feedback and addressing safety concerns shows they care more about their reputation than safety. I stand by my original review...I'd like to reiterate, please enter at your own risk. There are trainers and employees who are not vaxxed and working closely indoors with members in their 60s, 70s, and 80s who could be at risk because of the selfishness and irresponsibility of Franco's, it's staff, and policies. Is there a vaccine mandate in Mandeville? No. Can businesses implement one? Yes. In my opinion, to hide behind the, "no mandate" defense is lazy and puts profits before safety.We were incredibly disappointed and horrified to learn one of the trainers who works with my elderly members including my dad, had Covid and was unvaxxed. How many days do you think this trainer showed up to work as a carrier before testing positive? It's unclear and scary to think about. Of course getting Covid isn't anyone's fault... But to knowingly and willingly go to work in an indoor environment with people who are elderly and choose not to be vaccinated, all with permission of your employer, is dangerous.I don't think it's unfair or unkind to warn people of a potentially unsafe and dangerous environment.I'd like to offer a suggestion - if you are not going to require vaccinations of your staff, I'd recommend only having those trainers who are vaccinated, teach/train members 60+.

Would highly recommend not going here. Very rude staff, specifically the Chief Operating Officer Jamie Hamler.

Poor Management. Super rude. Do not report any issue. The management will do nothing but defend their wrongs, and speak to you in a condescending tone. Nothing is ever their fault. Their policies cannot be improved in their opinion.
