wouldn't recommend Top Dog Fitness to anyone looking for a welcoming and professional gym…read moreenvironment. The atmosphere is extremely cliquey, making it uncomfortable for new members to feel included. The owner, who claims to be a the greatest ever at Florida State, lacks professionalism and respect, especially toward younger female members. Instead of fostering a supportive fitness community, he seems more focused on personal attention and unnecessary drama. If you're looking for a gym where you can focus on your health and fitness without distractions, I'd suggest looking elsewhere.

No frills, no nonsense, no air conditioning, no cold water, no excuses gym. No problem. I called first. The owner answered with hello. Not Top Dog, nothing but hello. Cool...is this Top Dog? He says yes. No big deal. I ask about the class that afternoon. Explaining that I'm in town temporarily and typically go to Orange Theory, does their class compare? He says there are many similarities, though no treads and I can work at my own level. First visit is free, so I take the chance. Parking is bad. It is a pot hole laden lot behind the building. They have a large storefront that looks like it is closed. So go to the back and up the steps. Obese in, I find the guy in charge. Told him I was here for the class. He said I'd likely be the only one there so he would explain the work out. Great. The workout is written in chalk on the walls. Very cool. He runs through the workout with me and then, I'm on my own. Now, understand I walked in and knew I wasn't in a jazzercize class. I did not expect them to hold my hand. That being said, the guy that was in charge, did keep one eye on me. Occasionally checked on my progress. He corrected my form on a few exercises and was available when I needed him. I deducted a star for not ending the 'class' with a guided stretch and deducted a star for the advertising a class that really isn't a class. It's more of a workout guide that was really challenging but doable. When I think of a class though, I think of a bit more attention and someone motivating you throughout. Being I was the only one there, I understand why he continued to do his own workout...but, not a class. BUT...as I said in the beginning. This college town gym isn't looking for soccer moms that are looking to tone up. If I was a college guy or gal looking for a place that would challenge me, this is perfect. AND, I would go back! I was incredibly sore. I did some of my own stretching, but not enough. The workout was AWESOME. It just isn't a class.

I had been going to Amped since July 2025. My coworker agreed to workout with me, as we work out…read moretogether & he knew my health journey & how important this was to me. Sadly, this always caused an issue because he "looks different" than me, and people have questioned whether he was my trainer. He is not my trainer! He is someone who cares & wanted to push me & encourage me on my journey. We had to prove once before that he was my coworker by bringing in our work badges because they didn't believe me & canceled his account & band him from the gym. After explaining our situation & proving what we were doing, they reinstated his membership & all was well. Now, here we are again with a different regional manager, and a different club manager, questioning the same exact thing again. I tried to explain, but there was no listening. Now, due to the disrespect I've officially canceled my membership, and I will be letting my family and friends know to do the same. This gym could be so much better, but due to ignorance & assumptions, they lost a member. This kind of management behavior is unacceptable. So disappointed.

I like this gym! Great midtown location and It has the power rack for free weight barbell exercises…read morewhich are useful to me. There are other useful machines I find useful like the hip thrust machine- which not all gyms. It seems that they continually work to improve the gym set up. They sometimes change the location of equipment, probably for optimal flow and they get new equipment. For instance , they got the pendulum squat machine recently which I don't know how to use yet, but if I ask Matt (the owner) questions about any equipment, he explains it to me. I appreciate that. Also, Matt was nice to spend time with me talking about nutrition after a body composition scan. You can get that measured there, which can help you monitor your progress, if you have specific goals. Another plus is that he also communicates with other clients via text and replies rather quickly so that is nice to have the communication line open :) They do sales sporadically which can be good for you to get in the door. For example, for Halloween this year they waived the sign-up fee. Also, for Christmas, if you bring in a toy, you can have a free workout. I like how they give back in that way :) They do little cute things like decorate for the place for holidays- love that spirit- and you can get an orange if you come on the weekend :) I see Matt frequently cleaning the equipment and vacuuming which is a good thing. Everyone likes a clean environment to work out! He seems very dedicated to his work, and I admire that about him. Checking in is easy after you download an app called kisi and you use that app on your phone to check in. There is also a fob option if you don't have a smart phone. Just a thing for me is that sometimes it is a bit warm in the gym. Before the winter hit, it is regularly kept at 73 degrees. They also have the heat going in the winter. Also just be aware to cancel, they require a 30 days notice and you must go in person (not online or phone) to cancel. I would not cancel if I am not shifting locations, because I think this gym is great! They have group classes too which is an extra cost. I have not done them myself, but the lady who leads it on Saturday mornings is real pleasant! They seem to have a good little community there for these classes. If I move back the area, I would get a membership again.

I have been going to this gym for many years and I believe it is the best gym that there is…read moreavailable in Tallahassee. The space is always clean, and they have exactly the equipment you need for a good workout and no extra nonsense. The prices have raised from slightly when I started going there in 2020, but I believe that the increase is justified. I would much rather pay extra to go somewhere that is never crowded where I feel comfortable, rather than having to sign a year-long contact with "dues" where I have to wait 20 minutes just to use the squat rack. In fact, I drive 10 minutes out of the way, past two huge commercial gyms that are a 1-minute walk away from me because I prefer this gym so much more. I've come here probably over 200 times in the past couple of years, and there are never more than a couple of people in the gym. It is always clean, and the owners have always been polite with me. The only issue I ever had was that they did not have a dedicated bench press in 2020. Lo and behold, a few months after going there, I walked in, and they had purchased one and had it set up. Amazing. After that, the only other minor grip for me was there was no long rope cable for rope tricep pushdowns. Again, I walk in one day and they had a brand new one. Point being is they are always refurbishing older equipment and bringing in new things that suit the gym. The negative reviews for this gym are a little confusing to me, since they do not seem accurate. Never in the 200+ times I have been here did I feel the space to be "dirty" in any way. Every time I am in Tally, I come here. I am always happy with my choice.

Another plus, everything is CLEAN. I used to be a member of another gym that was rarely cleaned and their machines were subpar.

I just received a phone from them stating that they "Received my information" and wanted to talk about me about joining. When I asked how they "received my information" they informed me I must have clicked an ad or social media post. I do not recall doing so, but its possible I clicked something. Regardless, clicking an ad should should not result in a phone call. I find this to be predatory marketing behavior. It immediately makes me not trust this business. I will say the person I spoke to was very nice and said they call people all the time who do not recall clicking an ad. They understood I was not interested and polite about it. Ultimately this person is just doing their job. Given that we live in a world where data is stolen, sold and people get inundated with spam calls I think its bad practice to use this type of marketing for a "local" business. It feels predatory and out of touch.

Today is one of those days where I absolutely could not find anywhere to park after waiting all day to go do my workout after work once again drove Home incomplete for the price I pay. They should have a lot more parking than they do. So disappointed!!
