The traffic just getting there even during off peak hours is the only reason I don't go as much, but I would definitely recommend it! It was a little confusing in the beginning because they have different buildings so I was not sure which one actually had the class I signed up for however, after going a few times I was familiar with it. The parking is not the best. The staff is very friendly! Most of the classes are always full so it's very hard to get a spot unless you join the waitlist and hope to get in.

4 stars for Amazing classes and great instructors…read more Pros: * 6-7 classes per day. Earliest class at 5am and latest at 6pm * good sized parking lot, do come early to get the best spot. * fantastic trainers: Bjan, Eric and Kimberly are among the favorites. * They do offer a deal when you sign up for the first month. * weekly emails from True Fit regarding health and nutritional issues Cons: * Its quite expensive: $130/month for bootcamp classes or $328/month for classes, diet plan and personal training. Overall, great place to workout. Just wish it was more affordable.

I discovered TrueGrit on ClassPass (love ClassPass, definitely try it!). Such a fun workout! If you…read moreare a beginner, the workouts are do-able, but they will kick your ass. I am more immediate and like that I can still get a challenging workout from a class setting. They have more advanced equipment and machines than just dumbbells and kettlebells that most group workout classes have. As a girl, some of the equipment can be intimidating. But once you give it a shot, you realize how capable you are. They recently moved facilities, so if you ever worked out at their old location...try the new one! It's much bigger, nicer, and in a safer location. Because their classes are pretty large, you won't get much direction on form, but the instructors are still pretty attentive if you're doing something completely wrong. This is a great gym for someone who already knows how to workout but does better with an instructor.

I found Soul Rooster on ClassPass and decided to give it a go, signing up for the S3 Core class. I…read moredidn't really know what to expect, but the trainer, Chris, quickly explained how the class would proceed, gave us a demo of the rowing machines, and showed us how to properly use the TRX ropes. The workout was very low impact, which was a nice change from all the crazy stuff you find out there these days. My fiancé, friend, and I all still worked up a decent sweat. It was definitely beginner friendly, but the exercises could easily be adjusted for higher difficulty. Exercises included rows, squats, pull-ups, and lunges with the TRX ropes, dumbbell chest presses, bicycle kicks, planks, and rowing. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here. Chris was very enthusiastic and helpful, constantly moving around the gym to make sure everyone had good form. It seems like he has amassed a regular crowd, which says a lot about him as a trainer. I would definitely go to Soul Rooster again, especially if I'm in the need for something low impact with variety to stave off the boredom that so often goes hand in hand with working out.

Kyle if you're reading this, thank you for being so enthusiastic! You brought the cheer to the day! I walked in today and was not allowed to participate in class. I was 5 minutes tardy. Tampa is now seeing an uptick in traffic and snow birds. Note to self: leave 5 or 10 minutes earlier. The front desk staff wouldn't budge or even crack a smile. At least they didn't charge me a late fee. I mean, after all, I was present. A friendly reminder that everyone is trying the best they can. I arrived and typically, I'm not late. Showing empathy and kindness in a fitness studio goes a long way. We're there to express our best and feel good. Members are there to relax not feel frustrated. Finally during marathon month in August, staff were using equipment ahead of members. Members paid extra to use the treadmill to log their time for the activity. Staff shouldn't be going ahead of paying customers. Let's treat people better, South Tampa.

This is an incredibly awesome, wonderful Orangetheory Studio! They never miss an opportunity to…read moresurprise you in a positive way. I am really glad this is where I hang my membership - despite living so close to another unnamed studio. Actually the best Orangetheory studio I've been to and that says a lot having been to 12-15 or even more. First, today's class with Coach Bre was off the charts. She truly gets it and has the ability to make sure everyone is comfortable with whatever the movements are. And if they're not, she has bundles of alternatives at her fingertips ready to make positive suggestions. Bre is great! Next up is studio manager, Heather. She makes everybody feel genuinely welcome. Plus, it's the little things. Not only is the studio spotlessly clean, when you open lockers, there are nice positive notes attached to the inside front door of each and every locker. Makes an even better experience. The people at the front desk from Paris and everyone else - wish I could remember everyone's name are all incredible. They check you in personally and make you feel warm and welcome. I wish I could take all my classes here - though as noted this is where I park my membership by choice!

I think I am addicted to rowing. it is not easy ! so if you have not worked out in a while , I would not recommend it.

I have been working out with Brad for several years. I started with him at Soho Cycling then…read morecontinued on with him when he opened up Viking Fitness. I look forward to walking thru his doors. Brad is approachable, personable and encouraging. The circuit workouts are designed to move at a quick pace. The circuit set will have about 6 different moves . Each move is done for 60 seconds with a ten second rest. Once completing the circuit we have a minute rest. The circuit is repeated 3 times. Arm and abdominals are then done. We wrap up with tabata. Classes are small, tops 8, so he can give attention to all. All fitness levels are welcome. He provides alternatives to make each move harder or easier. It's a very welcoming environment.

I was originally going to give this place a 2 star review but the workout itself is very good and…read moreafter all that's why people would come here. I'll go ahead and start from the beginning with my experience but this may quickly turn into a long review. They had 3 trainers there and the main one doing the class didn't look the part (if you're a hairstylist have a good hair, if you're a tattoo artist have tattoos....get my drift?) I'm not judging based on that but she was very loud and I noticed she didn't do a lot of demonstrations but had the other instructor there demo things. She also loves to call people mama - again, not my style but whatever. I advised the girl at the front desk that it was my first time there and showed me quickly around the studio and where the restrooms were she never offered to explain how the class works, what equipment I'll need etc... After I changed, I went back up to her and asked what I'll need and how the class works. She told me if I have a yoga mat to go get cause I'll need it for planks ( it was plank Thursday accordingly to her.) So after I set up my station by the punching bag and laid out my yoga mat from lululemon (I'll touch more on that) the guy instructor showed me all the different kind of punches. Out of all the instructors I would say he was the most pleasurable to work with. During the workout, I noticed the two instructors ( the guy and the front desk girl) sitting and not very engaged at all. At one point they were throwing medicine balls at each other. They did occasionally come up and correct people but the girl especially had a stank face on the entire time even getting upset with the main instructor (Esther) after she asked her to demo something b/c she said most people don't do it that well and she raised her hands in the air like wtf. Towards the end of the class we ran around the gym and was appalled to see people touching my yoga mat with their sneakers! After the class was done, I asked one of the coaches if they have any lysol wipes since both dispensers were empty. She said "no, but we ordered them." OK, how do they clean their bikes after each class or their medicine balls? I was disgusted by this - at least go to wal-mart and pick up some in the interim. They also need to provide yoga mats so you don't feel uncomfortable with people stepping and sweating on yours. My recommendation: go a few block north to True Grit Fit where the instructors truly care not only about your fitness but about you. It's too bad because this place has potential, the studio is large and the concept is great but upgrade your coaches.

You know when something comes into your life at the right moment? Like the stars just align and…read more-BAM- there it is? Well, that's sort of how I see Shevon. This man is top notch - he knows his shit, he has a great vision, and he has an even better personality. Seriously, I'm a whiner about just about everything (okay, some of it is self-deprecation and hilarious) and he deals with it with total grace. He will kick your ass in the best of ways. Things will hurt or be tender the next day or two. He'll even advise you in proper jump-rope technique lest you find yourself a little too crippled the next day - and in my case high heels are off the table for a bit. I think he's amused at this recent life development, but I could be wrong. He will also mess with your head. In addition to laughing my ass off, some things that have either come out of my mouth or run through my head - "Did I just do that? Wait, he wants me to do what? I'm sure as hell I can't do that... FACK! How did I just end up here? Oh dammit... Shit this is going to suck tomorrow." He's well-trained and speaks a few different dance languages; this is how I first found the Sultan. I remember catching a couple of his performances in the area and he had this insane energy that Tampa is missing. If you want to talk about someone being magnetic, this is a prime example. I showed up to his in-home studio a couple weeks ago with no real plan other than he was going to school me in something new. I was minus my iPod and he asked if I had any music. I pulled a lone CD out and he ran with it. "Have you done any partnered dance?"... Nope! On day one I found myself getting spun around and dipped (among other things), all while making really ridiculous noises because I'm a control freak and it... Freaked me out. But hey, new experiences are good for me, right? So, I found myself dabbling in "intro to ballroom" for the first time, revisiting some flamenco, and falling back into the belly dance thing (though I haven't left it since I first started back in '07). If you want to talk about getting into fusion done correctly though... This is it. No one else in the area does what Shev does. So, what else is there to say? This isn't a weekly drop-in class; you don't just show up. If you want a regular day/time slot I'm sure he would work with you; a friend and I have started assigning Sundays to dance/ass-kicking "church" with Father Shevon (yeah, it's a terrible joke, I know). I can't help but love this new ritual in my life because it's so refreshing to work with someone so professional who can also put you at ease. Tampa doesn't know what kind of gem it has because frankly, he's too good for it.

Don't be fooled by the basic décor; the magic is in people. From the first step in the door I was really comfortable, but meeting Shevon James was a completely uplifting experience! As the founder, he is a truly gifted and enthusiastic instructor whose charming and welcoming nature instantly puts everyone at ease. I am taking his Brancee Belly and Boot Camp sessions and the energy in the room is always electrifying. Mainly because his bright face, great music and demand for form bonds everyone in the room into one ball of energy, sweat and great endorphins! This is definitely not a Barbie Doll venue. Women of all shapes, sizes and ages are representing and having a blast! Speaking for the 'over fifty' set...I have never looked forward to any fitness class but really feel down when I have to miss a class. Never had such a great time getting in shape! Shevon , is a consummate professional and he and his staff have put together programs from Ball Room to Latin, Hip Hop and everything in between with classes for kids, teens and 'the rest of us'. If you ever considered a dance fitness studio; do yourself a favor and check this one out!
