Where do I start with these people. Long story short even before I had an issue with them billing…read moreme several times after I asked to take my credit card off file they treated us as if we were going to break their equipment. Every time a weight hit the floor I would get an evil stare and then eventually got reprimanded. It's gym not a museum right lol? And no I wasn't throwing weights around being disrespectful. I was down in Florida in July 2025 for 2 1/2 weeks and wanted to try this place because it was new. So I bought a one month membership for myself and my wife and then asked to freeze the account until we come back down to Florida since we live in New Jersey. We did everything through a gentlemen named Mac who understood our situation that we wouldn't be coming back down until the next year. I got billed the next month accidentally and he refunded me and apologized. At that time I asked him to take my card off file. Fast forward to January and I've been getting billed the last 3 months after several phone calls with the owner and emails sent without a response. Today was the last straw as I called AGAIN to have my card removed and to be refunded. I mentioned that I'm going to have my bank reverse the charges and he started calling me a jack ass and saying why don't I come and say this to his face because he felt "threatened" and will sue me if I do it. I can't say enough awful things about the people here except for Mac who actually doesn't even work there anymore probably because he was nice. The fact that I asked several times for the card to be taken off file and it hasn't been is severely alarming. Anyone that is traveling and thinking about Joining beware. They told me something completely different than what the contract said. Stupid me for taking their word for it and not reviewing the contract. Not keeping your word says a lot about a business. The gym is beautiful though.

Hands down the BEST GYM I've EVER been to. I'm not saying this to advertise or help make sales:…read morethis place is just that good. This gym has a machine for every single muscle group, no joke. You will definitely walk out sore in the best way. The open windows and natural lighting keep it from feeling like a dungeon, and honestly make you want to work out longer. I've been to a lot of gyms, and this one is absolutely top-tier. The staff is amazing too--there's a lady who walks around cleaning like it's her own home. The place is spotless. And the crowd? Only serious gym rats show up, which keeps the environment focused and legit. Those super low-cost gyms that take anyone just don't compare--they lose that true workout atmosphere. I love my gym!!! Now I just need to find a sauna to complete the setup!

It's so convenient since it's 24-7. The owners are friendly and always willing to help. Best leg machines since they have them all. Cardio machines and even a separate studio for classes such as Yoga. After hours is safe to workout since the doors are kept locked all the time. It's nice that they even have TVs throughout the gym. It's a serious gym not commercial like LA. Only people who are serious about working out and not come to hangout. Looking for a serious, clean, friendly gym with many equipment then this is the place for you. :)))))

Classic bait-and-switch. I recently moved to the area and signed up for the "free" 3-day pass…read morebecause I genuinely wanted to try the gym before deciding on a membership. I showed up at 5:30 am, only to be told it wasn't active and that I had to talk to a sales rep first ... something that's conveniently not disclosed when you sign up and impossible at that hour. Being told the alternative was a $20 day pass when I already had a free pass felt absurd. Misleading, frustrating, and an awful first impression. This is a horrible tactic in 2026, honestly. Do better.

I have been a loyal customer of Barwis since it opened, bringing friends, referring others, and…read moreeven having my team train there. Unfortunately, loyalty means absolutely nothing to Hilary, the so-called manager, or the gym itself. The boot camp pricing is never consistent--they increase the rates arbitrarily, with no transparency, no notification, no justification, and zero regard for long-term customers. I was explicitly told that I could pause my membership and would be locked in at the same price when I returned. I confirmed this multiple times before reactivating my membership and attending a boot camp class. After the class, instead of reinstating my membership as promised, they charged me a drop in fee and charged my team's card--which hasn't been used in over a year--without authorization, even though my own card has been on file and used for payments before. To make matters worse, Hillary decided after the fact that she would not honor the price when I returned, and instead, she increased the price by 200%. No explanation, no notice--just blatant disregard for what I was told and confirmed. This is not how you run a business, and it's certainly not how you treat loyal customers. So instead of making something, they rather make zero. There has been other issues, as well. However, I liked the trainers and people I attended boot camp with, but I've had enough. If you're considering Barwis, save yourself the frustration. Their pricing is a joke, their management is incompetent, and their business practices are shady at best, which is not surprising when I don't think the Director of Business Operations has business acumen or background. There are plenty of other gyms that actually appreciate their members and uphold their commitments--this is not one of them.

Just finished a cycle of physical therapy for an arthritic knee condition. I had never heard of…read moreBarwis, but went there on the recommendation of my doctor. I've previously been to other PT facilities, but none were as impressive as Barwis. However, what set this particular facility apart from previous places I've been treated at, was the unbelievable PT I had assigned to me--Lauren Norwood. My initial visit consisted of Lauren and Maddie Wnuk carefully charting a mobility and flexibility program designed specifically to strengthen the muscle around the knee and increase overall flexibility. I'm in my mid 70's and the protocol charted and implemented was exactly what I needed. Lauren was always positive, encouraging and understanding. Within a few weeks she'll have graduated with her doctorate and will go on to establish an unbelievable reputation as a great PT. Barwis seems to be the "gold standard" if you need any type of PT or rehab.

I need to share what happened at this gym because the level of disrespect and neglect I experienced…read moreand witnessed is truly alarming. First, my brother was banned over a simple declined membership payment. Any responsible gym would handle that by updating the card or rerunning it. Instead, they turned it into a punishment. Then today, ON THANKSGIVING, I walked in just to pay a guest pass for him. A two-minute transaction turned into one of the most unprofessional encounters I've ever had. The owner didn't greet me, didn't acknowledge me, didn't offer even basic courtesy. The energy was cold and hostile from the moment I stepped inside. To make matters worse, the owner was behind the desk on the phone, speaking in a tone and attitude that made it obvious the conversation was about us. I couldn't hear the exact words, but anyone standing there would have felt the same disrespect. On a day meant for gratitude and kindness, the hypocrisy was unbelievable. And that's just the customer service. Let's talk about the facility itself, because that's an issue no one should ignore: Dumbbells constantly left loose or in unsafe positions Multiple areas of the gym that feel hazardous and poorly maintained Bathrooms that are consistently dirty, foul-smelling, and visibly neglected Mold or what appears to be mold that was literally painted over No visible janitorial presence mirrors, floors, equipment, and high-touch areas look unclean People often walking barefoot around the gym, which raises serious hygiene concerns I even had a friend who picked up a foot infection after training here (he didn't report it, but the environment speaks for itself) A gym should promote health not put people at risk or make them feel unwelcome. Another thing that stood out to me over time is the way the owner interacts with the younger, more timid employees. The dynamic feels uncomfortable and one-sided, almost like they're afraid to speak up or push back about anything. It creates a work environment that feels pressured and unbalanced, and as a customer, it's very noticeable. A gym should empower its staff not make them look tense or uneasy. But what truly shocked me were the notes and signs around the gym. They're written in a tone that feels harsh, confrontational, and almost angry..the kind of wording that makes members feel uncomfortable instead of supported. A gym should motivate people, not intimidate them with aggressive messaging. If this is the level of respect and maintenance on a holiday built around gratitude, imagine what the rest of the year looks like. There are MANY gyms in the Lighthouse Point / Pompano Beach area that treat people with professionalism and maintain clean, safe facilities. I strongly recommend choosing one of them instead of dealing with this kind of environment and management.

I had been considering checking out this CrossFit thing that everybody has been talking about for…read morequite some time. I am 43 years old and have been going to the gym for years to try to get and stay strong. I had a preconceived notion about what CrossFit was even though I really had very little idea. I am also a chiropractor and have seen and treated many CrossFit athletes and some CrossFit coaches and have gotten to know them. They all have been very passionate about CrossFit. My other concern was that I could not afford an injury to affect my career. I finally decided to take the plunge and give a try. I signed up at CrossFit Barracuda because I knew one of the coaches and trusted his knowledge and expertise, and had several patients and acquaintances from there who spoke highly of it. I wish I had done this sooner, and could not be happier! The coaches (Dalton, Shane and Clint) are amazing and very knowledgeable. The atmosphere is very positive and supportive from everyone. Not only am I learning so many new things, such as some of the Olympic lifts I had never really done before, but there is a great variety to the workout every day. Another extremely important thing is that they will push you, but also not at the risk of injury. Proper form and technique is coached extremely well. I am seeing some excellent progress in just a few weeks time, and feeling great!

The first one was kind knowledgeable and shoes several ways you can do it without injurying yourself that is comfortable to you. The next one on another day had a different style and only showed the one way to do it . He said if you didn't do it the right way your not getting the effect and kept us way past the time we should be there we also tried a pump class they used a lot of weights and basically did the same thing you can do on your own with he weights but at a much faster space which hurt my knees . I do weights on my own but not with the speed. A good class for those who do not want to work out alone and need guidance and music. They offer an indoor pickleball which is different from other gyms. There is a snack machine and an area to purchase smoothies but eas closed as it's an outside vendor. The facilities was decent and clean but no paper towels that I prefer. The parking is really bad because there is only a section in front but since it is in a plaza there is a restaurant and other things next door making it hard to just park and go in need to search for spaces on busy days. The payment apparently is done on a biweekly out of your checking or credit card . They wouldn't allow full payment and said the policy changed . Which I feel takes away from the members choosing this gym. They said it just changed . My friend payed for a trial with option to cancel and decided to cancel after the 2nd day but had difficulty and took a long time until they finally did it. The distance and parking were 2 reasons she didn't join and decided we would stay at the local city one. They have longer hours then he city of that's what someone may want early or late . A nice gym for someone closer and wanting a variety of things .
