There is a new fitness and personal training scam coming to the Jacksonville Beach community called SMARTXRCISE. It is Gracor Fitness of Jacksonville and Jacksonville Beach reborn after its so called financial collapse earlier this year. I say so called because, they (owners Brett Chepenik and Chris Evans) have been planning the demise of the former for months all the while taking money, perhaps yours, from the supportive citizens of this city. The owners of now defunct Gracor took a lot of money from a lot of people in the Jacksonville and Jacksonville Beach communities and ceased operations without notice to customers and employees.
These baffoons (Brett Chepenik and Chris Evans) will soon be asking you to once again support them financially and welcome them back to the community as the "New and Improved" SMARTXRCISE. Realize this…they will never be honest with you nor do they believe in health, fitness and exercise. Just ask them how they stay so lean...these aren’t over the counter supplements they’re taking. Their so called convictions are a farse and are simply nothing more than lip service.
They have put a black eye on a legitimate profession as well as turned on a community that once endeared the service of the trainers. Brett Chepenik and Chris Evans deserve never to reenter the field again. There is nothing smart about SMARTXRCISE. There is nothing ground breaking or innovative. The workouts aren’t even original. They don’t even care enough to provide you with a qualified personal trainer oversee your training. No offense to anyone already woking for these 2 con artists...you’ll be offended soon enough when your checks begin to bounce. Notice I said checks - PLEURAL; MORE THAN ONE.
If you a thinking of investing money with these goons or buying a program from SMARTXRCISE, spend a few more dollars and perform a REAL background check and contact some of their previous investors. Neither of these clowns is a Certified Personal Trainer...one is a business school grad that is an emotional basket case while the other is plumber. You want proof: Listen to the line of shit he spews when speaking. For you financially prudent persons looking to invest wisely, BEWARE! While you may be an Angel financially, if you crawl into bed with this duo, you will be dancing with the devil.
It is a scam neatly wrapped in an LLC structure presented with tremendous projections (most of which are over inflated and not realistic), a wonderfully outlined business plan, and an enthusiasm to make you feel like you just signed the deal to put you on easy street. Get ready for the excuses to follow when the returns just aren’t there. The question you should ask is: What will their day to day involvement be and how will they ensure viability. The answer will be aloof and slightly arrogant, not to mention an outright lie...although quite "Effective and efficient." Consider yourself warned! Brett Chepenik and Chris Evans are looking out only for themselves.

If you've defended these clowns at this or any other link, step up and state your name and business, and proof to the contrary. Hey, I once believed in them as well as you did/do. We all like to think we are a good judge of character and don't like to face facts...we view as a poor reflection on ourselves. Point is...the truth hurts - some of us have yet to a face it.
