I started taking my health and fitness more seriously when I turned 40. During that year cardio…read morebecame a regular part of my lifestyle, and weight training seemed like a great way to take things up a notch. That's when I started looking for a gym-quality "all in one" machine. I didn't want something rickety that would fall apart after a year. I was willing to invest in a machine I could keep for the long haul - something I would actually look forward to using. Dick's Sporting Goods and Sports Authority just didn't have the quality I wanted. Then one day my wife and I were lunching at Olive Garden with our daughter when we noticed a place next door called Gym Source. After lunch we went in and I spotted a machine I liked, called a Hoist V Select 1. I loved how compact it was, and it felt really well made when I ran through a few exercises. Joel Colson, the store manager, was really helpful and there was zero pressure to buy. I took his card and I said we'd take some time to think about it. The next day I called back and was able to purchase the machine right over the phone since I had already been in the store. The Delivery/Setup Crew was terrific -very friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. Joel also followed up to make sure everything was delivered and set up perfectly, which I appreciated. I also like the fact that they service what they sell. I purchased my Elliptical machine from Sports Authority and they outsource service and repairs. Nice machine, but I don't feel like I've got much recourse should I have problems. If you're seeking gym-quality equipment at home and want to buy from a reputable company, I'd visit Gym Source. I felt the price was reasonable, the service was impeccable, and should I ever have any issues, I believe they'll work with me to make things right. Given the choice, I would purchase again.

In a world of online shopping sometimes you need a real person and store. Jan at the Tampa store is…read morefantastic! I was having some issues with my treadmill and I tried to deal directly with the manufacturer. I honestly never thought to contact Jan. I did reach out to him and he handled the situation right away!! Personally, I don't want to spend thousands of dollars on a piece of equipment without seeing and trying it out. He's got a great store and great service!!

The sales team is fantastic. Super responsive to post delivery issues. Emilio and Jan are a very…read moregood team. The delivery/setup was so poor it took technicians two (2) follow-up trips to properly tighten the a50 Ascent Trainer. It was actually dangerously loose and could have caused a fall. Also, the machine had a major defective part that was causing the machine to clunk. It is still squeeking but I am done for now and feel like I should have spent more money and tried very hard to get a machine made in the US or Italy.

I thought this place was awesome. I've ordered from Valor in the past online but now that they…read morehave a location on the way to the house of the mouse I figured I'd stop in and see what they are like. You will definitely be questioning your mapping app when you are directed here because it's somewhat in the middle of nowhere. This is a big warehouse filled to the brim with fitness equipment. And they even had another room of clearance items in the back! The man that helped me said their prices here would be lower than their online prices because shipping wouldn't be required. I figured he meant a few bucks but it's some drastic savings. I spotted something in the clearance room that I bought that was $50 cheaper. A small item I bought online recently would have been 50% cheaper if I had bought it in person. Valor isn't a third party reseller like you might expect. They seem to make many (all?) of the products they sell. The bigger product I bought with them was easy to put together and has held up well for several years. I really trust them as a brand. Don't think you have to be a hardcore fitness person to shop here. You could save money on something as small as five pound dumbbells. They also have a loyalty club. My Apple wallet triggered a dialog for joining their loyalty club when I pulled into the parking lot and I started earning points with purchases I made in person. I will definitely be back!

I first met Jerry for a bike fit and while there Amy gave me an excellent running analysis to help find a shoe for me to transition to soon as the brand I use seems to be fading. This all was an excellent experience however I can't thank them both and Jack their mechanic enough for what they did our next time I came to the shop. I was in an unfortunate accident on my new bike and immediately following drove to their shop and waited for it to open. It was a tough time for me but Jerry and Jack took the reigns and worked with Quintana Roo to get the bike back in shape and ready to ride like new. They really went above and beyond and they have made a customer and friend for life. Look forward to shopping and maybe even training with them soon!

See how it has been two months, and I still remember the man's name. Well, I came in pretty late one evening, and was on a search, but just was not sure. He made my experience so much better with getting my daughter the gear she needed for softball. He was sure to make sure I got quality and without breaking the bank, when he could have easily had me buy the latest "and greatest" top dollar, but he was down to earth, and that's customer service you just can't get everywhere. Sorry so late for the review, but thank you again, [beardless] Keith!

Since 9/23 I made several more calls to the Sarasota and Jacksonville locations and none of my calls were returned.

Desperate for a good gym quality elliptical machine I was so lucky to find Southeastern Fitness. I emailed them and the owner Bart responded within minutes and told me his associate John from the Tampa location would be in touch. John called me immediately. He was kind friendly and not pushy. He told me what machines were available and I couldn't believe how affordable the monthly cost was to rent such an incredible piece of equipment. John made the process easy and fast and had the elliptical by LifeCycle(better than any elliptical at any gym I have used in years) delivered to my home within two days. I couldn't be happier or more grateful to Bart for renting and selling affordable quality gym equipment that will allow me to keep my routine outside if the gym.

I was very happy to find a mini massage unit of my favorite targeted massager. It wasn't cheap but it never is, so I bought that right away.
