Swamp City Fitness is a Family and I am fortunate enough to now be a part of it. My promise is to keep the momentum going forward. With new programming options to start off, there is more to come. Much more. I look forward to taking this incredible journey with all of my athletes.

This gym is a sister gym to CrossFit Iron Legion, owned by Ted Dreaver, and located just 30 minutes away in Ocala. Our members enjoy dual citizenship in our large family and can visit either gym. Come in or visit either location to learn more about our Coaches, our Programs, and our Family.

Former Owner
Swamp City Fitness is a Family and I am fortunate to raise my two Sons in this amazing environment. Here we come together to forge better versions of ourselves. Strengthening not only ourselves, but our families, and our communities through fitness and better living. We are always looking to grow our family and have a greater impact on our community but our culture is paramount to our success. Our gym strives for fun because if you are not enjoying it, you won’t do it. We create a positive environment where we learn about proper nutrition, proper form, and safety. We create a road map to our goals, learn how to set up milestones, and accountability, along with metrics to gauge our progress.

The honor of guiding this awesome gym was mine and I cherish having you as a part of it.

Terry Neil CF-L1, CJS&TCPFIC

Barefoot Coach

In April 2022,I retired from the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office after 32 years. I began my fitness journey while I was assigned to the Sheriff’s Office training bureau. There I began coaching individuals who were beginning their law enforcement career in functional fitness. I have my Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission Physical Fitness Instructor certification and I recently earned my CrossFit level 1 certification. I feel fitness and nutrition play an important part in people’s quality of life. I want to help people achieve their fitness goals so that they can enjoy their lives.


Chandler Caudill 

Strongman Coach & Competitor

I am proud to be a part of the Swamp City Fitness Family!!!  I have competed in the sport of Strongman and Powerlifting at a national level for 9 years now, holding multiple state and national records.

I have worked with individuals who compete at world stages in strength sports, to beginners who have never stepped foot in the gym looking to become more confident all the way to athletes in the NFL, NBA, and NABL respectfully.

I grew up extremely overweight and worked to teach myself the science on my way to lose over 100lbs before formal education.  Fighting depression, and other mental health setbacks, I found strength in training.

My promise to you as a coach is to provide the best possible service as a coach, a friend, and a supporting beam in and outside of the gym.  I believe stress attacks us each day, whether that is in the gym or in our everyday life and relationships.  I am simply here to provide a stress management system to help you succeed at whatever your goal is – physically, mentally, and professionally.

Dr. Kyle Proctor

Photo of Coach Kyle ProctorKyle began his journey in CrossFit in 2019 at Swamp City Fitness. He has always been active since starting soccer as a kid and running cross country and track in middle and high school before switching to the gym and lifting in college. He drug his feet by attending only Saturday group classes for several months until he began multiple weekly classes.

He is strength-focused when making his exercise goals and likes developing logically progressed and programmed workouts with emphasis on appropriate recovery. His favorite part about coaching has been seeing people improve and hit milestones they thought they could not achieve. The community in CrossFit and at Swamp City has played a key role in Kyle finding his passion for Olympic weightlifting, which inspired him to become a USA Weightlifting level 1 certified coach.

His favorite exercise is front squats. His least favorite exercises are burpees and box jumps.

Kyle is a full-time physical therapist in Gainesville. He received his Bachelors of Health Science from the University of Florida in 2014 and his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of South Florida in 2017. He is a board-certified clinical specialist of orthopedic physical therapy.
