Best Gym near Plantation, Florida

After my amazing gym had closed its doors due to Covid (Core Code Training Academy 4Ever in my heart!) I was in search for the next best thing. FXNL Training was my first stop (I have checked out at least five more gyms within the past month but the enjoyment that I encountered at FXNL was going to be hard to match). All I can say is what an Amazing facility with exceptional coaches! Lorraine (Owner & Head Trainer) and her team has great programming! A well class establishment that feels like home and honored to call it my new Gym home.

I came down from Toronto for a family visit and needed a good workout. I found fuel fitness to be a very fun and team environment. Everyone was friendly and the coach was very knowledgeable and taught me how to do things properly. I would love for everyone to experience this place and the people within it

Been a member for about a year. Workouts are great. Coaches always get the best out of me, and every time I go; I meet new friends. Couldn't recommend this place enough.

After spending 17 years at my previous gym, which unfortunately closed, I was faced with the daunting task of finding a new fitness home that could replicate the sense of community and family I had grown accustomed to. I am delighted to say that I have found that and more at Fuel Fitness. From the moment I walked in, I was met with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The sense of community here is palpable - it's not just about fitness, but about fostering relationships and supporting each other in our health journeys. The coaches are nothing short of amazing. Their friendly demeanors and genuine care for the members make every session enjoyable and motivating. They are not just instructors, but pillars of this close-knit community, constantly encouraging us and pushing us to achieve our personal bests. This gym has quickly become more than just a place to work out. It's a place where I feel like I belong, a place that feels like a second home. I am thrilled to be a part of the Fuel Fitness family and am excited for the many years of fitness and community that lie ahead.

So excited to see where Alexis takes Fuel Fitness. She is extremely passionate about helping people become their best selves. Coach Clive is great too & very knowledgeable.

The Arena is my new HOME! I can’t stress how amazing and welcoming they are here. The equipment is incredible, the cleanliness is spot on. I highly recommend them, and the fun classes

The Arena is the best hands down. The workouts are engaging and Frank’s expertise really pushes you towards your fitness goals. The environment is welcoming and very encouraging. I look forward to every session. Highly recommend!

This place is terrible. The owner is obnoxious yet his place is empty and his workouts are just ok. He tried to bully me and my son to sign up. We were both rubbed the wrong way. Improve your service and maybe you wont be empty

The Arena is the best place ever! More than a gym is a therapy, I feel very comfortable and happy. I’ve grown so much there, not only physically, but mentally as well. It is a very dynamic gym, you’ll have different routines and will have fun at the same time. Also, it is very clean and they give you all the tools for you to progress and reach your physical goal. 100% Recommended!

Drove 40 minutes from my house and back because when I showed up for my class that I paid for.. the place wasn’t even open. Very annoying. No email, no call, no text. Showed up for the Saturday 7am and it nobody was there. Don’t even bother

The gym itself is great! It's open 24/7, which I can say is more than most gyms in this location. There are a variety of machines, weights, deadlift spots, etc. The cards and app they provide is also great to make access to the building easy. My biggest issue would be the male staff and their general treatment of you if you're not a girl. They're very dismissive from my experience besides the manager. Also, theres a weird lack of staff past 9pm due to their policy. Without staff they use an automated software to determine if someone snuck into the building with you. The issue is specifically is that the automated software gets it wrong most of the time and threatens you with a $50 fine that you have to attempt to dispute The gym is usually popular but that comes with the downsides of people taking full on photos and videos for their social media right next to you with a professional camera or camera-man. As a normal gym goer it can sometimes be uncomfortable to be around that. But it's usually harmless and somewhat rare I also would say that the bathroom is not always well cleaned. It's usually dirty in terms of toilets

Edited: original review below. I’m increasing this to three stars because the door access has been working the last couple of months. I do think that this is a great gym. Some of the things that I do think could improve our most people do not react their weights if it’s in the women’s area or by the glutes area, and I think that they should have to wipe down the machines versus rag that multiple people use. have been holding off on reviewing to see if the growing pains of opening a new gym would improve. The gym is gorgeous however being unsure if I can get in the door or not is a problem. I would love to stay a member at this gym but won’t be able to if I can’t get in when needed. Luckily when I have gone there are trainers who have opened the door. I drive about 18min to the gym. I am playing a guessing game when I leave my house at 745 if I can get in. I can’t work out during 9-9 staffed hours that’s why I picked this gym. Happy to update this review if the door is fixed and working. I recommend this gym posting on their social media daily updates so it’s clear when members can use the gym and be let in. There are several responses from the gym on one star reviews that the problem has been resolved but it has not been resolved. As of 1/9/24

I visited this gym with my friends before choosing to join. I love that they are open 24 hours and the place is relatively clean. What i do NOT like about this gym is the fact that NOBODY re-racks their weights, and then NOBODY cleans up after themselves!

The gym itself was nice but they sell your personal information. I came for a day visitor pass and the next day I got a lot of texts from various scams and staffing agencies. One company in particular that contacted me was "manpower staffing" a local company in plantation Florida. So if you do decide to go with them just know your info is being sold.

I really have loved this gym so far (staff is friendly) but my issue is currently that the gym is too hot, around 78-82 degrees during winter months so I’m so frightened for summer when outside is in the 90s. Health professionals agree gyms should be between 68-72 so I think it’s an ineffective AC system. This could be understandable if there wasn’t that $50 annual fee for maintenance on top of the monthly fees. The cleanliness isn't what it used to be. There seems to be dust and dirt in more places. I tried a shower due to evening timing and the shower did not drain. I did not have this issue at YouFit. If this is resolved, and sound system lowered to not be so loud with ADS?!? - I’ll be excited to change this review to the 5 stars this gym deserves when I’m not scared of heat stroke, scabbies and having to listen to ads through my headphones during my workout. Attached are photos from mid-March through May, when outside temperature was under 86. The set temperature is under 70, but it only cracked 75 once. Its also cooler upstairs Update 6/6- speaking with gym staff; they are aware of the issue but management seems unable or unwilling to make additional changes. It’s 82 on the AC reader; I’m unable to finish workouts Update 8/20 It was 87 on July 3rd. It was 83 on 8/5. I’ve just been going at night which is still too warm. Will be cancelling once I find my replacement. Disappointing

I like that the gym is clean, the hours I go to are not usually crowded. You have a variety of equipment you can use to work out, most likely cardio machines all around, but still nice equipment to train. I like the staff being nice to people, but please have your employees not bothering people trying to engage in long conversations. The less they talk, the better.

A specific shoutout to Steven for the best customer support! He has no only worked diligently on trying to get all the TV Screens back online, but was a lifesaver today and helping me recover a lost item in the gym. Thanks Steven!

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Planet Fitness, all thanks to Steve! His professionalism and friendly demeanor made my visit so enjoyable.

AVOID!!!! ZERO STARS!!! See photos : HOW???!! WHO APPROVED YOUR WOMENS BATHROOM??!!!! clear violation of privacy and it disgusts me to even THINK that other women are being consistently disrespected BY THIS LOCATION!!!! If I cannot walk FROM THE SHOWER/TOILET/and/or CHANGING AREA to my LOCKER without risking my morality THERE IS A HUGE ISSUE!!! God bless you but SOMEONE NEEDS TO HIRE AN HONEST CONTRACTOR TO REPAIR YOUR DEPRAVED LAYOUT MISTAKE

Danny was very amazing and knowledgeable another club wanted me to open a black card with them. But with Danny’s awesome rapport I am definitely staying at sunrise. He deserves a raise and promotion. Thank you planet fitness.

I really like this place. Clean and equipment is all in good repair. People are friendly enough. Nice and empty early in the day. I just wish they had a few more tools like a safety squat bar and lifting strap-friendly bars like a neutral row bar. But really, a good gym.

Overall a very solid place. Large space with many equipments, all in good shape. No issue with other patrons. Bathroom and sauna are clean and in good condition. Plenty of classes. The front desk staff is not nice but not rude either. However the HUGE plus if you are a parent: they have a daycare. Now I must give some warning. It is not a “proper daycare” with trained staff. It’s a room with toys and an adult somewhat supervising. I would not recommend letting your little one in there. Why? I have seen the staff letting a baby on the desk, without supervision. That baby could have crawled away and felt, luckily it did not move. I have also seen small pieces from toys that small ones could choke on. The staff looking after children is nice, BUT they are NOT trained professionals. Overall we are having a good experience with UFC FIT and we recommend them.

Absolutely loved my experience here! Flew down from Tennessee and needed a gym, it did NOT disappoint at all! Tyler was so helpful and made the process so smooth! And the lady who made me the oat milk with chocolate in it even after they were closing it down was an ANGEL 😭💚 If you’re anxious about finding a gym, this one is more than worth a try! Thank you guys!!! (Lola)

I had an outstanding experience at UFC FIT, all thanks to Tyler! From the moment I walked in, Tyler was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure I felt comfortable and confident about getting started. He took the time to understand my fitness goals and customized a plan that was both challenging and achievable. His knowledge and motivation really made a difference, and I could tell he genuinely cares about helping people reach their full potential. The gym itself is top-notch with great facilities, and the community is supportive and energetic. I highly recommend UFC FIT to anyone looking to get fit and improve their overall health—big thanks to Tyler for making my experience unforgettable!

Absolutely fantastic gym! The facilities are top-notch, with state-of-the-art equipment and a clean, welcoming environment. The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to offer guidance or support. The variety of classes and personal training options ensure there's something for everyone, regardless of fitness level. I especially appreciate the well-maintained locker rooms and the emphasis on creating a positive, motivating atmosphere. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great place to work out!

LA Fitness in Plantation, Florida, despite undergoing a major renovation a few years ago that should have modernized the facility, unfortunately falls short in terms of maintenance and cleanliness. This location is consistently dirty, with the same dirt visible for days on end, indicating a lack of thorough cleaning by the staff. It's quite honestly filthy, to the point where I am actively looking for alternative gym options. The culture of cleanliness among the members is also lacking. It's a rare sight to see anyone cleaning up after themselves, and this neglect contributes significantly to the untidy environment. Additionally, I almost never see staff members making rounds to spot clean or re-rack weights, which should be a basic operational standard for any fitness facility. The disorganization extends to the weight areas where dumbbells are haphazardly scattered. Finding the right weights in their designated spots is a constant challenge, and it’s among the worst disarray I’ve encountered in any gym. This not only makes workouts less efficient but also poses a safety risk. Moreover, the locker room is in a disappointing state with a leaking ceiling and a noticeable lack of essentials like paper towel dispensers. Such conditions are not only inconvenient but also detract from the overall experience of visiting the gym. Given these conditions, I would not recommend the LA Fitness in Plantation. While the gym itself might have the potential to be a top-notch facility due to its infrastructure and equipment, the poor maintenance, lack of cleanliness, and disorganized environment make it a less desirable place for regular workouts.

I enjoyed going to this gym, Plantation Location. My trainer John W. is energetic, motivating, dedicated, & pays attention to physical needs training related to my leg injury. Prior to John, Terry was my other trainer & he was amazing as well. These specific trainers care about helping one get stronger & they listen. Overall, the gym is clean, and nice, and my specific trainers have been friendly and respectful.

Guys, LA FITNESS is an ok gym. I do like some of the amenities. How they kill it is with NO TOWEL SERVICE. You cannot have any plans immediately after the gym other than go home and take a shower. The BEST GYM IN ALL OF PLANTATION IS FITNESS SYSTEM, equipment is a lot better, floor is bigger, just no amenities like sauna; but it's a body builders dream gym. And they have towel service.

I went in today to cancel my membership because you guys are so tacky. At the fees you charge cmon $20 for a guest? Tacky AF!!’ The only thing in your favor is the classy manager that took care of with class and finesse everything LA Fitness lacks. Keep Paul happy because in this nasty ass world he’s a breath of fresh. Hold on to that class act seriously! Also there is nothing luxurious about LA you have in equinox!

It would get 5 stars, however the music from the group fitness is extremely overstimulating. When the group fitness cycling is going on, they have that door wide open and blaring music that can be heard in my headphones. I feel the vibrations when doing my sets. Some days I don’t care, some days i’m overstimulated by it and leave early. Maybe i’m special. No idea if this is a shared concern.

My boyfriend and I have used this gym for almost two years but after exploring our options we decided not to settle for dirty, broken equipment. This place is nasty. 60-70% of the equipment is broken, whether it’s cardio or weight based training. The pool has been in renovations with no changes for over a year. There are far better gyms in the same price range. The only benefit this place offers is that it’s significantly less occupied than other gyms at any time of day (because nothing works). Additionally, often times the music is super vulgar.

Been going here for 3 years, this gym is an absolute dump. The gym is filthy and clearly hasn't been cleaned in years. When "renovations" began in 2023 we were told that we'd be getting new equipment with the pool and sauna being renovated as well. The "new" equipment is clearly used, torn, rusty and dirty. They took away all the adjustable benches except for one, as if it wasn't hard to get one of the two before. There are missing weights and the weight rack smells like urine. At least a third of the machines are completely unusable with the rest having some sort of issue. The bathrooms and locker rooms are gross and dirty, with mold growing everywhere. Some of the showers have been "out of order" for months. The pool, sauna, and steam room were supposed to be open in January and they are still in disrepair with no progress seen in months.

Absolutely love this gym! From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with open arms by the friendly and professional staff. They really take the time to get to know you and make sure you're comfortable, whether you're a beginner or an experienced fitness enthusiast. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and always willing to offer guidance or modify exercises to match your match your goals and abilities. The facility itself is top-notch-spotless, well-equipped, and has a great variety of machines and free weights. I also love the group classes-they're high energy and fun, and the instructors do a fantastic job of motivating you to push yourself. I've noticed a huge improvement in my strength and overall fitness since joining, and I always look forward to my workouts.

This gym was supposed to be updated in December and January. Somehow they emptied the pool, sauna and steam room and completely have not done any modifications! They have no answer to when this gym will be completed. Now I have to drive to doral because the Miami Gardens gym is a complete dump and dirty. Nobody seems to care at all.

Giovanni has truly transformed my relationship with the gym. He takes the time to explain everything in a way that makes sense and ensures I fully understand how to reach my goals. What stands out most is his genuine excitement about my progress—it’s so motivating! He tailors his approach to fit my lifestyle, making fitness feel sustainable and enjoyable. The gym itself is also incredible. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, which has made such a difference for me. I genuinely look forward to going to the gym now, which is something I never thought I’d say since I’ve never been a fan of working out before. This place has completely changed how I feel about fitness.

I was visiting this studio while out of town. The front desk staff was friendly and greeted me right away. They recognized I was from out of state. She orientated me to the studio. Coach Kristen also recognized I was from another studio. she welcomed me to the studio as well. Great coach and workout! She is very motivating. THANK YOU Plantation OTF!

I'm an OrangeTheory member at another South Florida studio and have been coming to the Plantation studio a couple of times a week for a few months now. And I go to other studios depending on my schedule. Upon starting with the Plantation studio there was an initially "rocky" start with multiple servicing issues occurring in which I had to escalate these items to OrangeTheory corporate in which the studio manager Meg came to me after class and addressed them with me and I was kinda shocked how rude she was and was probably one of the most unprofessional interactions I've had with an OTF employee. Meg in the interaction advised "maybe you should try a different studio". I addressed it separately with the franchise owner and she apologized and personally addressed all items herself (and that's why I'm continuing to come back). I would have left the studio a 1 star review if it wasn't for the owner stepping in to help. So over time the studio front desk ladies are always nice and welcoming and always a delight to see walking in for my classes. Coaches are really inconsistent and not all classes are good. I would say stick with Meredith and Nicole for amazing classes and they're encouraging and always checking your form and always press you to do things you think you couldn't do before. I would recommend the studio but specially look for these coaches. The studio has a very unusual mood and vibe versus other OTF studios, and just bring my mood down every time I come in and it’s a shame because I’m a huge fan of the OTF brand..

This gym is great but I’m so angry right now with Meredith the coach. She’s rude and judgemental. She rolls her eyes at the clients if they can’t follow along with her ridiculous overzealous plan. She had me so frustrated with her constant badgering that I tripped and turned my ankle on the treadmill. I had to leave class early. Don’t go to her terrible class if you are trying to get in a good workout after a stressful day. Will NEVER TAKE HER CLASS AGAIN. Awful!!

Some of the best coaches around. Get ready for a great workout when you walk through those doors. Great community at plantation studio! Coach Nicole on Monday nights is not to be missed!

I love the variety of the workouts and that they can be modified to any fitness level. The coaches are very motivating and helpful. Being able to schedule classes keeps me accountable to get my work outs in. Thanks to my consistency and the structure of the workouts, I am seeing a positive change in my fitness level and my overall health. I’m really glad that I joined!

We love My Gym! The classes are so much fun and the teachers are amazing. You can see how much they care about each child. I started bringing my daughter at 10 months, she’s now 15 months and this place has given her so much confidence and she’s learned so many skills. We come 5 times a week thanks to the unlimited classes! It’s her favorite place 😊

We love my gym for our 10 month old! We have been coming for almost a month with the unlimited package and it is so worth it. Our daughter is not in daycare so this is a great place to work on her social skills with other children her age and also build on those gross motor skills in such a fun way. Not only are the instructors extremely friendly and interactive but the community of parents I’ve met has been very special too!

We love My Gym. I’ve been bringing my daughter here since she was 7 months old, and it’s been a great experience. The staff is friendly and welcoming. There are a lot of fun activities tailored to different age groups. It’s also been a great place to meet other parents through the classes. Highly recommend it!

The My Gym in Plantation is an OUTSTANDING development program for children. My granddaughter began when she was one. A year later I’ve noticed an improvement in her confidence, balance, strength, listening skills and getting along with others. All of the staff, and Mr Corey, have been trained in early childhood learning and are very child friendly. Besides the staff, the children and their parents have been extremely pleasant, too. 5 Stars for My Gym!

As parents of a 16-month-old, we couldn't be happier with our experience at MYGYM! Our son has been attending for a few months now, and the progress we've seen in him has been incredible. The teachers, Cory and Abby, are truly amazing—they have such a warm, engaging presence that makes every class feel special. They’re so patient and encouraging, which has helped our son build confidence as he learns new skills. From improving his balance and coordination to gaining social skills, every class seems to offer something new for him. We love how each session is both fun and educational, and it’s clear that the team at MYGYM really cares about the kids. We’re excited to continue watching him grow and learn with such wonderful instructors!
