Absolute best training facility in Miami. The space is enormous! There are multiple squat racks, pull up bars, kettlebells, etc. there are also machines. There is an outdoor field with turf used for sprinting and outdoor activities. The field can also be used for outdoor soccer rentals. I have been going to EliteU for 6 years and no other gym compares. There is a combination of HIIT, Tabata, Weight Training and more. I am the best shape now because of their program. Don't think twice. Go and take a class. You won't regret it! read more

I don't know how they got the number because I never gave them that card number. And when i call to check whats happen they are very rude and say is nothing the can do So be careful whit your bank info read more

So 5 months ago, Elite U offered a Living Social discount, and though I had no real understanding of what it was, I figured it was close to my office and a good replacement for my usual Capoeira since I had recently recovered from a foot injury and needed to stop flipping around so much. I had no idea what I was getting into, but I'm glad I did! Elite U is housed in a big warehouse and is essentially an athletic training facility that offers cross training classes involving various types of lifting, cardio, and endurance exercises. Think flipping enormous tires, jumping over hurdles and learning Olympic-style lifting. I never realized weight lifting could actually be fun and interesting; plus you get the added bonus of being able to say Clean Snatch and Jerk in casual conversation without sounding pervy. The classes are brutal and always leave me completely drenched in sweat, out of breath, and with a distraught look on my face, but its so worth it. Imagine the Ivan Drago/Rocky training montage in Rocky 4, its pretty much like that. The staff is very helpful teaching and motivating you to push harder and not give up. It's also great to have a big group of people working out with you. I can't recommend Elite U enough, I am definitely the strongest I have ever been in my whole life and credit it to this place. I noticed definite results after 2 weeks and it only keeps getting better! read more

I've been going for several months now, if you're looking for a killer work out & a staff that actually cares to see you succeed.. Well then you've found it. Elite U is by far the best gym you'll ever sign up to. They not only make sure you're in right form (to maximize your work out) but also push you.. Not in boot camp way (yelling etc) but rather they have this look they do which can best be described as "Really? Yea you can do more..." or my favorite the "Right.. Try adding another 25lbs to each side then we're talking" I'm sure there's more but you get the idea.. #Recomended read more

In a short span of time I've seen several cross fit gyms pop up around the Miami area. The concept never peaked my interest until a coworker of mine overheard me complaining about my weight and suggested I try out Elite U. I've played soccer for the majority of my life but I've never been much for working out let alone going to a gym daily, so I was intrigued to see if this type of work out would keep me disciplined. Walking into the facility I was immediately intimidated by what I saw...tires, sledge hammers, monkey bars, jump ropes. What the hell did I get myself into? Before I even had a chance to walk out one of the trainers greeted me and patiently walked me through the entire work out for the day. After the explanation and still not convinced I looked him straight in the face and said, "I'm 5'1 and have arms the size of twizzlers, do you really think I can do this?" Fast forward to 3 months later, not only could I do it but I've enjoyed every work out I've had at Elite U since I started. Granted, the work outs are INTENSE and you're definitely pushed to your limit but I've honestly never experienced a better work out anywhere else. I've had memberships to different gyms, one on one sessions with personal trainers, you name it. At the end of the day Elite U is incomparable. It's not just the work outs that set them apart, it's the personal attention you get from the trainers and staff. They treat you like family and if you're ever having difficulty with ANY aspect of the scheduled work out they will go out of their way to either help you finish the activity or modify it to a more comfortable level while still challenging you. Join Elite U today, you will not be disappointed and your body will thank you for it. read more

I started with Elite U nearly two months ago and was immediately hooked! The classes are challenging and always different...the Elite U team are very supportive and are there to motivate and help you every step of the way. It doesn't matter what shape you are presently in...the team and the workouts will challenge you to get in shape at your pace. But get ready to work!!! Thanks Elite U!! read more

The moment I stepped foot into the gym Nick recognized I was new, came over and welcomed me in. That welcoming feeling is endemic- the manager, trainers and members. The workouts are amazing and I always go home sweat soaked- looking like I jumped into the pool. What I really appreciate is the constant attention to proper form while we're working out. I'm new so naturally I'll require more corrections. Then there are those moments when I think I'm going to sit out on that last sprint or those last few reps, there's always that encouraging "Come on, you got it, MOVE IT". Thanks! Good to know you all are paying attention to members. read more

Best gym in Miami when it comes to challenging and fun classes. If you're tired of those gyms that have you constantly looking at the clock wondering when you can high tail it out of there, look no further. This place is small but the people are caring, involved in trying to get you fit, and best of all enjoyable. I've actually caught myself smiling (smiling!!!) while I do push ups and pull ups. The trainers really put an effort into the workouts they make and each work out is different and sure to keep you on your toes until the end of the work out. I really recommend Elite U for the athletes out there. As a former Martial Arts US Open competitor, I believe that this place has everything an athlete would need to train for their sport. Considering that I am no longer in the best of shape due to not competing in any Karate competition in a while, I am using this gym to get back into shape. I highly recommend Elite U for those of us who are not athletes but would like to get back into shape and just feel good. The gym is well rounded, fun and best of all affordable! They work with you to find a contract that works for you. You don't want a contract? They also have a class to class payment option as well. So just go try it! Get in shape now and have fun while you're doing it. read more

Approximately five months ago I signed up for the Philadelphia Marathon taking place on November 20, 2011. I started looking for a gym that had great facilities as well as a knowledgeable staff that could assist me in my training. My friend knowing my situation recommended Elite U which also specializes in athlete's particular training needs. Since joining the gym four months ago, I have seen huge improvements in my endurance and strength. By adding the extreme unconventional training from Elite U to my running regimen I have been able to shave off almost a whole minute of my running pace. The workouts are intense, challenging and always different. The trainers are knowledgeable and very motivating. I'm in the best shape of my life thanks to Elite U. I highly recommend Elite U. Fred read more

You will NOT find a better team of trainers than the ones at Elite U. The workouts are intense and the sense of accomplishment when you are done is incredible. I will probably never step foot in a regular gym again! They have helped me every step of the way, from meeting my weight loss goals (30 lbs in 6/7months) to how to properly lift weights, they are simply AMAZiNG!! It is no longer about the weight; I have never felt so good about my fitness level and I give that to Elite. read more

Been working out there for a week now! Great vibe, love the environment, the trainer Nick is very aware of what each individual is doing so if he see you're not doing it the proper way he will kindly show you the right way to do the workout. love this spot if you're thinking about changing you're body to the best it can be SIGN UP. read more

Best multi purpose gym in Miami... Their group classes are crazy. Nick the head trainer comes up with some crazy workouts but he's always there to teach proper technique. I came in with lower back and shoulder problems and nick and the staff have helped me be pain free for 3 years now read more

Do not buy a groupon for this place. I saw the groupon and it looked like a cool place so I wanted to try it out, but they do not make it easy for a groupon user to come at a convenient time. They do NOT state it on their groupon that they have certain times reserved for members only. I have been to so many places that appreciate their new customers much more than these people do. I am not rating this place on their exercises, trainers or actual classes, but only on how they have treated me by email. If they will not allow me to attend a convenient class, how am I suppose to decide if I would like to become a member? I would love to write a review based on those things rather than how I have been treated by one of their employees by email. I would much rather go to a place that appreciates my business. read more

I went there with a friend of a neighbor in CVP. I told her this place is tooo far from me but she wanted I join here. I felt out of place here and since I perf a gym colser where I live in Pembroke Pines Broward FL. People here was ok read more

What I have to say about this place it's a filthy BOX . The Owner/ Trainer NICK has no clue what customer service is , He is rude and has no manners and at the same time a thief , It's obvious the place has it's financial struggles what leads them to let go of most trainers and give out the promotional deals online in need of memberships once the place is full will take it upon himself to not redeem vouchers purchased on line. The place plays no music , takes no effort in the safety of its members due to the disorganization and bad hygiene around the gym the equipment is filthy , old & rusted . They do have a great work out plan and the place is a MAD HOUSE by 6 Pm the class is packed making it unsafe to move around since it's not that big and it's cluttered with equipment. I will give this place 2 stars One for being a HOT BOX you do sweat and the other one for an intense work out and for the other Trainer Josh he is very nice and actually concerned for members. seems more of a person than a Muscle head like this Nick guy Nick is the one that calls the shots in there. In other words I can get a hot great work out elsewhere , with good customer service and safety measures. instead of this BOX. They do not like to be called CROSSFIt but at the end of the day.. it's the same Thing.. same concept.! read more

I've been coming to EliteU for about two months and I'm absolutely addicted. Things I love: organized workout, trainer sticks to the workout. Workouts are a great combo of cardio and weights, all-around full-body training. The people there are so nice and feel like family; ppl will stop what they're doing to help you. The trainer, Nick, always gives personal attention, focuses on your form and is very encouraging. Oh and most importantly, the workouts are badass!! I noticed a difference in my body the first week! Can't wait for summer!! I recommend this place to everyone. read more

Honestly not sure why there would be negative comments about this place just because I've known nick for a few years and he's been nothing but a mentor and helpful from my high school days till now. He was our strength and conditioning coach football, wrestling, basketball, volleyball and so on and I never could get a better workout than his from any other box or crossfit place. This is more athletic focused and I've come in with shoulder injuries and he's helped my pain go away due to cross fit injuries since they really don't care about you and don't teach you how to do anything just pick up the weights and throw it. So I appreciate this place and recommend it to everyone and Nick has helped me throughout the years and suggest you give it a try also, John is another great trainer just like nick is and you will love them both if you are willing to put in the work. read more

First, I've never felt compelled to write a review about anything before, but Elite U deserves both the five star rating and review! I spent around 3-4 months training at Elite U and only left due to a cross-country move (by the way, can you guys please come open a second place in Chicago?! We miss you). Simply, Elite U is irreplaceable. As a certified group ex/indoor cycling instructor and after training for 5 marathons, I thought I knew how to push myself. I can honestly say the staff at Elite U transformed the way I work out and how I value competitiveness and motivation. Additionally, without altering an admittedly so-so diet, I was able to lose 10+ pounds without even focusing on weight loss. The most impressive thing about the staff is that it is obvious to anyone in the gym that they excel at dedicating time, patience, and expertise to athletes at every level. Thanks Elite U, for an awesome summer. I'm still shopping around my new city for something even half as great. read more

This is the best training facility in Miami! The classes focus on strength training, cardio, mobility and overall athleticism. I have been going to Elite U religiously for 5 years and have never done the same workout twice. I would encourage anyone from beginner to advanced, to check this place out. You will be challenged every single day, but will definitely build mental and physical toughness. Coach Nick Soto is a genius, and will guide you through every workout. 5 STARS! read more

After more than a year going here now, I still love this place. One thing that I really like is the size of their classes compared to other crossfit or cross training gyms. The classes here are capped at 20 people (2-3 trainers usually per class). Other similar gyms in the area have a 30-1 ratio or worse. These guys also emphasize things that are less likely to cause injury than some of the other gyms. read more

Love this place.. Really great workout & trainers. Sometimes the workout is just 15mins long but believe me you feel it! I've been going to different gyms around the area or working out on my own but ever since I found Elite I'm hooked.. Definitively recommend :) read more

Ive been going to EliteU for over a year now. I was a previous member of L.A. Fitness and 24Hr Fitness but nothing compares to my time at EliteU!!! Finding this gym has been the best thing to happen to me. I'm the best shape of my life and there's not a day that I don't leave the gym feeling like i didn't give it 110%!!!! The trainers are great! They push you and make sure they get the best effort out of you w/o yelling at you at the top of their lungs(like some places I've heard). They want to see you accomplish the most out of every workout as possible. Their incorporation of crossfit workouts, boot camp style workouts, weights and cardio makes EliteU the best gym in Miami hands down! read more

Ask for Josh or Nick Soto, they are the best trainers in Miami. Been at this gym for a few years and i really prefer it over the others. The workouts are tailored to your specific needs. Hours are very flexible as well. Also if you don't want to do the class you can do your own workout - for the days you're not feeling up to doing high cardio. Nick and Josh can also be resourceful when it comes to nagging injuries. These guys know their stuff. Coming from an ex college ball player, they got me in great shape before my seasons. read more

I've been working out at EliteU for almost a year now and I can't stress hard enough how this place changed my body, my athletic performance and explosiveness. I'm a fitness freak, I've tried almost every gym/workout classes in town and had multiple trainers but none like this place right here. The coaches are highly motivating and are always there to help. The workouts are no joke, you never hit plateau and your body is always guessing whats next. You know its real when your muscles are sore almost all the time!! The workouts will push you to your limits then push you some more!! And if you stick to it you will see crazy results. Nick the owner hands down is one of the best athletes/coaches out there and is very hands on with everything. If your lucky enough to come train on a day that he's coaching the class then good luck because he doesn't play (in a good way). I'm a member for life! read more

I highly recommend this gym!!! Elite U is by far the best facility I've ever been 2 providing the best training. The coaches and owners are so caring and always willing to help you throughout your workout. Nick the owner can be on the opposite side of gym and will still be watching you making sure that you're doing the workout correctly so we won't get hurt. It's very much like a family at this gym unlike the majority of the gyms out there having rude coaches and bad atmosphere. I have three kids and after each kid I owe it to them on getting me back to my Pre-baby weight. No other gym will ever compare to ELITE U read more

LOVE THESE GUYS!!! I've been going to this gym since they first opened and I'm glad to see them grow along the way and still keep the dream they had from the beginning. i can truly say I can never go anywhere else. The positive environment and enthusiastic support from the trainers makes it hard to go anywhere else. They have motivated me to push my self to levels i never thought i could have or had to will power to. Its hard to find people/gyms out there that are interested more in their clients than the size of the gym, the new machines, the $$, the look.. These guys have this down to science and love what they do and give it 110% EACH CLASS. No other cross fit/boot camp can compare to them. They are in a league of their own, and the results are limitless. It's all on the effort you put in because I know these guys will put all of theirs everday. read more

I was able to take advantage of a month of training at Elite U. Needless to say they did not disappoint. The facilities are ample with enough room to get your own work out if you'd like. I went there to get my strength and conditioning work out. Josh,Nick and their staff are knowledgeable, friendly and highly motivated. If you want to get in shape, with no frills, no bs, and push yourself, this is the place for you. They have kettlebells, and free weights, the group training is highly conducive to producing results. I was glad I was able to work out at Elite U. Highly recommended. read more
