Huge thanks to Diandra L for introducing me to this fabulous gym!…read more In town for a family wedding, I kicked off my Saturday morning with a P.I.T. Conditioning class with Sara. My cousin was my partner in class and there was no lack of motivation as we made our way through 20 stations and got a full body workout including strength and cardio. Sara and Nico were both super welcoming and this gym has an awesome community feel to it where everyone feels welcome. If I lived in the area, I'd definitely be a regular here. Instead, I'll keep it in mind for future visits!

I've been on class pass recently to discover new gyms and routines that get me excited to work out…read moreand let me tell you Legacy is becoming one of my favorites! I have done this workout at their Wynwood studio and also the Little River location so I knew I was in for a challenging but fun workout. The workout format is PIT (Partner interval training) so you rotate around the room with a partner for 20 stations for 2 minutes each. Depending on the exercise you and your partner alternate for reps or time or work together. If you're someone who has anxiety about trying a new gym and having to pair up with someone you don't know - do not worry about this here! The trainer and also everyone in the class are welcoming and friendly so it's a-ok if you are walking in alone. I love the idea of pairing up with someone who's super into the class because it pushes me to lift heavier, try harder and make them proud. I have gone to Nico's 7:10 am class for the last two weeks and then another Saturday class with Andre. They break up the classes into strength, conditioning and performance days to focus on different styles of training, but I have grown to love the set up of this workout. The studio does have some parking spots in front, but there is also plenty of metered parking nearby as well as a garage. Pro-tip - if you go to a class before 9 am, the meters are free. You'll also want to be sure to bring a towel to this workout as the studio does require it. It's def needed because you work up a sweat and don't want to leave your equipment sweaty for your partner or other class participants. The energy and music during the classes with fuel you to an epic calorie burn, that is gaurenteed!

Sweat440 caters to anybody who struggles to make a set class time like I do! I am a graduate student and often times can't make conventional gym hours. Knowing I can pop in and take class whenever I want to is reassuring that I don't have to rush through my work in order to make class. This brand new space is beautiful. The staff and coaches keep all the equipment clean throughout each class so you never have to workout after someone sweat all over the equipment! They also provide towels which is a life saver! Showers and bathrooms are both really clean and it's never a hassle to use either. They even provide soaps and shower stuff if you forget yours at home! Super awesome! The workout is traditional movements you see in other hiit type classes utilizing body movements, kettlebells, dumbbells, as well as cardio machines (skierg, rower, and bikes). The movements are displayed on screens and theirs always a coach on the floor to help with modifications. Everyday is focused on a specific part of the body, upper body, lower body, or core and conditioning. It really allows you to push hard because your muscles will get time to recover for a few days before you work them again. You must go check them out and say hi to all the awesome trainers!

We visited this studio while in Miami for my sister-in-law's bachelorette. The location was hard to…read morefind for non-locals, and clearer instructions for first-timers would help. The workout itself was great, but the experience was disappointing. The instructor gave no welcome or guidance--just told us to get on the machines. Directions were often based on local references (e.g., "face Brickell"), and when we weren't facing the right way, they repeated, "Again, you're facing Brickell." Obviously, as visitors, we had no idea where that was. Despite this, we gave it another shot the next day with our full group ( as we booked it weeks before ). We left early but got stuck in Miami traffic due to a bridge delay, arriving three minutes before class. Even after calling ahead, we were turned away because new students must arrive five minutes early--no offer to reschedule, just a blunt refusal. If this is their protocol, then they probably should have enforced it the day before when we also arrived late. I'm grateful they didn't, but the inconsistency is frustrating when you expect one thing and are then told there are strict rules. While we did get a refund, the lack of hospitality stood out compared to everywhere else we visited in Miami. If they improved customer service and gave better guidance for beginners, I'd gladly return--the workout itself was solid, and the studio has a cute vibe. P.S. For newcomers and even locals, you'll need to enter the building, show your ID to the lovely lobby attendant downstairs, and he'll guide you to Tremble, which is on the fourth floor.

Such a good workout! I loved this studio and the instructor was awesome…read more Tremble's Brickell location is in the mezzanine level of 1060 building. It has a cozy feel to it but the floor to ceiling windows give it city like vibe. The class was no joke -- good upbeat music, full body movements that focus on core strength and of course an empowering instructor to get you through the workout. Can't wait to go back!

I saw an ad (see picture) talking about a free 6 week chsllenge and decided I could do a free 6 week challenge. By now I've lost 30 pounds and wanted to get back into a box. I am on Reddit and asked about anyone that had done one and received a barrage of responses that it wasn't actually free. So I text the person that text me about the appointment, introducing himself as Sergio, and asked him about the challenge being free. He ended up cancelling my appointment without asking if that's what I wanted. Had I been given a straight answer about something I felt *uncomfortable* with, I probably would have gone to see what was being offered.

I actually enjoy it and I have also seen results. I like that you can get in and out in an hour and experience the most complete workout you can imagine. The workouts are always different so I do not get bored and they have lots of equipment you can use post workout to cool down or even continue pushing through. I have been with Aim Higher for almost a year and I absolutely love coming here to workout. Not only are the coaches attentive, funny and knowledgeable, but I have also made lots of friends. I appreciate that it feels like a family and no one ever makes you feel bad about your progress or lack thereof. There are no mean spirited individuals and everyone is very motivational. They are located in a great location right off of Bird Rd (sw 40th street) and 38th avenue in one of the rental communities near Merrick Park. There is a garage connected to the building so lack of parking is never a problem, which seems to be an ongoing dilemma in the Gables area (and with other cross fits in the area too). Come by and check them out!

Kickboxing and boxing have always been something on my bucket list. I never got around to it for…read moreseveral reasons, time, school, work, etc. but after having gone through something quite harrowing and challenging , I though it was the perfect time to jump on the boxing bandwagon. Times are changing and people are becoming more unhinged and you have to be your own advocate as nobody else will. That being said... On my hunt for self-defense classes in Miami, I had come across a few options but weren't really what I was looking for. This Tapout location has been by my house for a few years now and I never thought to try it out until recently. I realized how crucial it is for women to be able to learn how to stand their ground and defend themselves especially if they encounter a threatening situation. Now, the classes aren't necessarily geared towards that but you will learn how to jab, cross, hook, and roundhouse which is sufficient for me. That being said, I took a free class to see if I would like it and I did! It was a Tapout Fusion class. They have different types of classes each with a different dynamic. So far I have taken Tapout Sweat, Tapout Fusion, Power Pilates, and Tapout Strong. Each class is set up differently. You don't spar with anyone. It's you against you and a large punching bag as well as pads set up along a wall. They also have other workout items like kettlebells, dumbbells, TRX bands, and Airdyne bikes. I have yet to try the bikes out but they look pretty cool. I have taken classes with two instructors, Kellie and Calvin and they are amazing. They don't make you feel out of place or intimidated in any way. They support you, guide you, and coach you through each set or movement. Also, they really know their stuff. I particularly enjoy Kellie's class because it's empowering to try a sport that's very male dominated...(yes women box too and they do UFC fighting and WWE)but it's not often you come across a female fighter. The only one I know or have heard of is Ronda Rousey so being taught and led by a female teacher knowledgeable in those techniques makes me feel like it's possible for me to be strong and hit just as hard as a man would. It's like the best kind of motivation. I'm all about women empowerment and am proud that I've taken steps to make myself and my body stronger. The gym itself is very clean. There is ample space to workout. They also sanitize everything after. You can rent boxing gloves if you need to though I recommend bringing your own. There are also lockers in the back as well as changing rooms. They are pretty diligent about getting you to come back after that first free class which is understandable. I worked at a gym and did sales myself briefly so the membership component and acquiring members is at the forefront and a goal of any operation that's built off of memberships. I was contacted several times via phone but I was a good lead lol because I genuinely planned on signing up. It was just a matter of time, work, and scheduling. I didn't want to sign up for something I would not have time for. What attracted me to signing up was the cost, the location, and my urge to learn self-defense and keep the momentum going that I acquired while taking classes at the other facility I went to for a bit. They have classes all day and each class is set up differently so it's not repetitive or boring. It's a new workout regimen every time so you can tell they plan out the classes well. Most Importantly, they make you feel welcomed. There are people of all shapes and sizes and levels. Me being a beginner I didn't know what to expect though after having an introduction to boxing at FDT, I kind of had an idea of what I was in for. There is something so satisfying about hitting a punching bag. I'm not a violent or aggressive person, but it just feels so empowering and is a big confidence booster and stress reliever. I highly encourage you to try it out for yourself. And it's nice they mix up the workouts with strength training and interval training...that it's not all about boxing. I'm still trying to get comfortable on the TRX bands because they can be tricky but I know they will benefit me in the long run. The trainers come up with cool, innovative ways to use them and they will guide you on how to use them effectively. All in all, signing up and working out at Tapout was a good move for me. I have met some really nice people, not their for an ego boost but actually just workout for the sake to workout out and better themselves and I've gotten stronger along the way so thank you Tapout. I'm glad I finally decided to stop by:)

Second class in and I was NOT ready -- in the best way I…read morespotted Pulse Fitness across the street from Club Pilates and figured I'd give them a try. This was only my second Pilates class ever, so I had no idea what I was walking into. Turns out I walked into the abs and glutes class of all abs and glutes classes. Lauren is tough -- but the kind of tough that keeps you going because she makes it fun and challenging at the same time. I wanted to quit and keep going all at once, which I think means she's doing something right. Beyond the workout itself, the studio was spotless, the energy in a full class was great, and the music kept the vibe going the whole time. Really impressive first experience here. I'll be back -- once my abs recover. Highly recommend if you're looking for a studio that actually pushes you.

I've attended this studio multiple times, so I'm not a new client, which is why this experience was…read moreespecially disappointing. I arrived about five minutes late to class and realized there was an issue with my ClassPass booking. I completely understood the situation and even offered to pay on the spot or after class since there was still space available. What was unacceptable was how it was handled. I was asked to leave in a very dismissive and public way, with the instructor opening the door and signaling for me to get out in front of the entire class. It felt degrading and completely unnecessary. This wasn't about policy-I respect policies. It was about the way a paying, returning client was treated. I also followed up via email and never received a response, which only adds to the disappointment. There is a way to enforce rules while still treating people with respect. Unfortunately, that was not the case here.

Barry's Miami Beach is an excellent training facility that teaches running and weight lifting. I…read morelearned how to run faster, pace myself and blend running into my overall workout regiment. Also Barry's taught me about strength at an achievable level for an amateur. Historically I lifted 2 to 3 pound weights in ballet barre classes. Barry's has helped me develop to 10-15 pound weights for better muscle strength. The only "cons" of Barry's are the price and the singular focus on run/lift. My greatest weight loss and muscle tone has been at full service gyms like equinox. I work out longer at equinox and ultimately burn more calories blending running, rowing and elliptical with barre and yoga. Equinox as a full service gym is half the price for a monthly membership. Moreover, Equinox runs promotions such as free membership through the end of 2023 for a 12 month membership in 2024, and the monthly membership is $210 corporate. Notably Barry's corporate locations offer discounted membership and class packs for my employer but Barry's Miami Beach doesn't accept them. I ended up with Barry's corporate and Barry's Miami class packs. Barry's serves an important purpose. When I want to push my running legs and lift heavy, Barry's Miami Beach is the place. Barry's has good treadmills with thicker cushion that is worth the extra money. My Miami Beach condo has treadmills included but zero cushion. Candidly I know more injured runners than active runners. The cushiony treadmill and higher end running shoes like Hoka are valuable investments for a runner. (I have never been injured running but pay for quality equipment, coaches and shoes.) i love the enthusiasm and encouragement of Sammi, Michael, Derek and Rachel especially. The balance of the challenging Barry's workouts is worth it.

I had been here a bunch of times in the past before the pandemic using ClassPass. The biggest draw…read moreof this gym is that workouts are circulations through 4 stations for a total of 40 minutes and start every 10 minutes. This means that, for example, if you are signed up for an 8:00 am slot but run late, no problem, you can join the 8:10 am or 8:20 am start. I went to this location a couple days ago for the first time since its reopening at the beginning of January 2021. They were on the first floor before, but they have signs saying they moved upstairs to the second floor in the same building. You do have to wear a mask during the workout at present. There was originally only enough space in each station for 4 people, so I imagine they would restrict more spots in each workout slot now. The reason they are able to have rotating stations at 10 minute intervals is that there are no instructors at each individual station, just one trainer in the overall workout area overseeing everyone. (During busier pre-pandemic times, there were two trainers sometimes.) The way you find out what movements to perform at each station is a monitor with videos of the movements and an interval timer that sounds sirens for the start and end of each 40 second exercise interval. You do have to be able to quickly grasp the movements shown before the next interval starts, but you have 3 rounds to get those movements right. The first station has a long turf that usually involves ropes or sled pushes, and the middle stations include sandbag movements and weight lifts. The last stations usually have a core movement like plank rollers or supine weight lifts. You are now expected to grab a cleaning towel and cleaning spray and wipe down the equipment you used at each station during the one minute break between stations. With this kind of structure, you're sure to get a great workout and stay busy during every second! I would advise taking some time after the last round to stretch because they do not include a cool down in the round. Bring a water bottle, a towel, your mask and get it done here!

It was relieving to not see people taking multiple sets of dumbbells and going off into a corner for 30 minutes or people sitting on machines and texting the whole time like at many other gyms. The contrast cold & hot plunge pools are great for recovery. The infrared sauna could be much hotter. I'd suggest putting full sized towels at the entrance to that area in addition to or instead of at the entrance of the locker rooms. My only two gripes with this gym is that every day of the 5 days I came it was way too warm and humid inside even though it was only 75 outside (felt hotter inside - not comfortable), and the music was pumping way too loud so much that I couldn't hear my own music on the treadmills. O and also at least 3 of the ~10 treadmills wobbled like crazy. Overall I'd recommend this gym for the mid 20s to early 50s fit-oriented clientele who likes to be around like minded people. I liked how many choices they had stocked for energy drinks, protein, drinks, and protein bars, and how organized it was. The cleaning crew was continually cleaning and kept the floors so clean that I didn't even feel weird walking around the locker rooms barefoot which I can't remember ever doing. Also the gym is in a great spot to walk over for lunch at some decent restaurants at the Coconut Grove walk / pier or whatever it's called. And the parking was very good each of the 5 days I went. I was able to quickly find even free spots. Shout out to one of the workers Elder for going above and beyond with courteous service and filling me in on happening things to do around town during my visit.
