Best Gyms with Functional Training Equipment near Miami, Florida

Disappointing Experience with New Management at YouFit I’ve been a regular at YouFit for several months, always sticking to the same routine and using the same equipment without any issues. However, my recent experience with the new manager at the location has left me feeling both confused and offended. On my latest visit, I was told that I could no longer use the spot I had been working out in for months. While I understand that if there’s a trainer working with someone, I need to step aside, on this particular day, no one was training in the area. Yet, the manager approached me very rudely and unprofessionally, insisting I couldn’t work out there anymore. When I asked for clarification or her name, she refused to provide it, which only added to the frustration. I have videos that clearly show the situation, and it’s evident I wasn’t in anyone’s way. Her behavior was completely unnecessary, and I felt disrespected by her tone and accusations. Because of this incident, I decided to cancel my membership. It’s disappointing to see that a gym I’ve supported for months would treat its members so poorly. I hope YouFit takes steps to ensure its staff are better trained in customer service and professionalism.

Very clean gym, but please keep your eyes on needed maintenance on a few pieces of the equipment. A couple of other members were talking about treadmills, rowing machines, and a couple of weldings cracked. The best employee is the happy lady mopping and cleaning everything.

Unfortunately, the management is a complete disorder, no staff cares to help, very unprofessional. Claudina not only informed me wrong about the personal trainer, but also when I message her for assistance, she just kept ignoring. Be careful trusting the staff that will register you into this gym. However, I have to say that Dayron is very nice, always trying to help, and an amazing personal trainer.

Very disappointed with the management. I used to go to this gym, so I recommended my mom to start going. Claudina misinformed my mother about the Personal Trainer plan. Alex was the person who informed my mom she had to pay the personal trainer for 6 months. My mom messaged Claudina asking for assistance, and she purposely ignored my mother. This place has shown uneducated, unprofessional, uncaring, disorganized staff. I’m glad I cancelled my membership, I definitely don’t recommend this gym!

I absolutely love this gym! The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming. I'm always greeted with a smile by Lea at the door, and the cleaning staff are equally friendly. The gym is always spotless and never overcrowded, making my workouts enjoyable and stress-free. I highly recommend this gym—I'm constantly bringing my friends as guests, and they always leave impressed and eager to return!

I travel a lot going to different OTF studios throughout not only FL but throughout the different states and this location is the best. It was so refreshing when I found this location. I can not speak more highly of one person over another from the manager Aly, to Daniel and Sophia at the front desk, all of the trainers Rich, Gio, etc. they all add to each other and help create the best atmosphere. I'm truly grateful for this studio and the environment they provide. Also not to mention the best playlists and BOMB energy for the workouts. Their music is never too loud hurting my ears. Thankful for you guys, truly a workout family!

Orangetheory at Bird Road has an amazing team and program! I tried OT for this first time this week, and the coaches and team were very helpful and supportive as I learned the process and routine. In exercises that I haven’t tried before, they were supportive in showing proper techniques and encouraging to continue or push my limits beyond my comfort zone. After my first session, I signed up for a membership! Very happy with this decision and joining OT with the Bird Road team - I now look forward to exercise and feel myself pushing my limits and exercising muscle groups I wouldn’t be on my own! Thank you to the Bird Road team!!

Great staff, amazing coaches! I've been going to the bird rd branch for about a year now and I'm feeling so much better thanks to their great workouts and coaching. I had an accident and could not workout for about 10months, when I started at this gym, the coaches helped me start slowly and assited me through the journey and the pain. Today I am able to do the full workout with maximum effort. Thank you!

I loved feeling as though I didn’t workout but I worked out, and the stats show the proof. It’s strange to explain. I also am VERY motivated by seeing numbers up during (heart rate + colors) and the results after class to see my progress. It’s like competing against myself. It was my first time back at something so intense (you pick your level of intensity) and it felt great and doable. The freedom to choose your level helps a lot because you listen to your body, the the coach supports and encourages you while pushing you to challenge in a non judgement manner. I’ve had other experiences where there was some judgement in the level you choose and for me, that’s not motivating or encouraging. Some classes I’ve taken, everyone seems to know each other and it’s a beautiful community. I’m very excited for this journey and that’s a new found motivation!

Honestly everything! The coaches are great so far I’ve taken 3 classes with all different trainers and they have all been so motivating and helpful. They explain the workout so it’s easy to understand and they coach you to push yourself and test your limits. The class is face paced and enjoyable not to mention the music is loud and fun and it doesn’t feel like a traditional training center. It’s been a great experience so far.

We joined Team Soul a couple of months ago, and it’s been a great experience for the whole family! Our younger boys joined the youth fitness classes, and they are always so excited to go. We’ve noticed improvements in their fitness. My teenager loves the variety of classes they offer since she is looking to improve her fitness and skill level. Plus, we adults have been doing the morning classes, which have been amazing. They have excellent youth and adult coaches. Team Soul provides a welcoming environment for all ages, and we’re so glad we became part of this great community!

I walked through the doors of this gym three years ago at age 40 cause I impulsively bought a golden ticket.. Not only should this tell you it’s never too late. But I can’t believe it took me this long to stay consistent with anything in my life. What might be the most important single cause of this? that this place is more than gym.. its an extended family that will never stop supporting you. It gives you a sense of belonging in a place you never thought you “belonged” too cause you’ve never been athletic in your life.. my only word of advice…. Just show up!

This gym not only has great trainers but the community is welcoming and inclusive. The coaches do a great job at meeting everyone where they are at and being able to adapt to all skill levels. I was a little nervous to try but I loved it. Everyone in the class was supportive and friendly which made my experience so much better. Highly recommend this gym!

Team Soul is the best! Just became a member a few weeks ago and already feel like family. They are great! Great vibe, great energy, great environment . Thomas and Sean, two of the coaches here, are awesome! The workouts are great and they really push you to your full potential and always modify according to your needs.

I have been to several gyms and Team Soul is definitely one of the best. The welcoming supportive vibes from the owner Danny and the whole staff motivates you to want to be at the gym, workout, and reach your goals. Everyone there, including the other members, make you feel at home and encourage you. Regardless of your level of experience working out, everyone is very supportive. Thomas is an excellent coach, very knowledgeable, personable, patient, and motivating. Sean is also good, he pays attention and modifies the workout in case you have any injuries or specific needs. I have been there less than a month, and I already see results towards my goals. It really is a Team at Team Soul. A Team that is on your side. A Family. I am very happy I found Team Soul.

Amazing coaches at this location and an incredible workout! If you have been thinking about trying it, JUST DO IT. You won’t regret it!

The best workouts with the best people! The coaches and staff here are so awesome. They make every workout fun and challenging. I absolutely love OTF Pinecrest!

Omg what can I say, been a member since 2018. I love this place, amazing workouts amazing coaches amazing front staff. feels like a real home. I don’t feel like a member but family. Currently holding 2 memberships, (OTF and bodybuilding gym) could’ve canceled both and signed up for lifetime for my family and I but I decided to stay loyal to OTF because I belong here. With amazing coaches like Kenny, Ale and Gabriella. There’s no leaving this studio. Pinecrest has my heart. Had the pleasure of working with the regional manager Alex, and he is awesome.

Great place! One of the largest ones!!! Remember lighting is always orange and music is loud and fun! They do offer earplugs if you are sensitive! Great coaches and team members!

I can’t say enough about this studio. Gigi & Rachel are such fun coaches! They inspire but also make you laugh while ensuring you’re lifting safely…but heavy! Tora & Melissa helped me out in celebrating my friends bday! They are so kind and helpful! Always love how I feel when I walk in!

This is my morning gym before I head to work, and I’ve been going here for the last 3 years. It was terrible in the beginning, bad smell, no A/c, water fountain was always down and the bathroom was terrible. But as of last year they have taken a lot better care and honestly Edwin has been a great asset to this location. He’s always friendly and greeting people and making sure everything is cleaned and tidy. He himself has done so much for this location alone, but I enjoy coming here now. Great job

This has to be the worst location every they sign me up for a membership a year ago, I cancel the membership because they charge my account more then what was the contract. I cancel with in the 30 day window. This location employee really don't know what they are talking about and every time you turn around it's group of new that still don't know what they are talking about. Plus can I get someone to help that understands what I'm saying.

Gabby, Shayne, Alex are all so friendly and just genuinely real. I feel good going here. I feel like they know all the 6pm Heavy hitters/ Gym sharks names. I feel like they are more like our family because I see them everyday,Gym is always clean and sanitized too.

he place at Richmond Heights is average. But their billing system ABC Fitness Solutions is outsourced and the do not comply. If a person requests cancellation today the process should stated cancelled as of today 11/22/2024. But they didn’t due it. The just put you in a pending cancellation for a whole month this way the can keep charging you and not make a reimbursement and also charge another $10.00 for a pending cancellation in the day they desire to do it. Be careful and have your contract at hand because they don’t comply with standard practices. Operator handling the cancellations Kim ID KCUP01. She said she was the manager but at the end tresukt is that cancellation is under status of pending not as the date you requested. Customer Service is horrible the first operator was Ann and then she put me with Kim.

Just wanted to give a shout out to the staff at this location, especially Suheiry!!! She’s been consistent in her professionalism since I’ve met her. Attitude goes a long way. People go to the gym for different reasons, and a polite, cheerful, kind, motivating person is valuable to have on staff! You never know what kind of day a person is having; and a kind word, a smile, or just being noticed can go a long way in changing a persons day for the better! Thank you YouFit for hiring great staff that understand the value of kindness as well as being professional and proficient at their job. 🙏🏾

I’ve had the pleasure of training with Joan Sanchez, and he truly stands out as an exceptional gym coach. His workouts are nothing short of phenomenal. Joan’s ability to tailor each session to individual needs while maintaining a high level of challenge is remarkable. He combines expertise with a motivational style that keeps me engaged and pushing my limits. Every workout with Joan is well-structured and dynamic, ensuring consistent progress and preventing monotony. His dedication to fitness and his clients’ success is evident in every session. If you’re looking for effective and invigorating workouts, Joan Sanchez is the coach you want. Highly recommended!

Alejandro Arias is a very good and excellent trainer. He spends time with me and cares about my well-being.

gym is nice and has everything you need. the reviews are hyping up the trainers but i’m surprised considering i’ve witnessed some of them act very unprofessional. vaping while training a client is crazy. not teaching others to put their weights back is crazier. nobody puts things back where they belong here!! this gym lacks gym etiquette.

A lot of the equipment needs maintenance. Great to use a Groupon for the month if you're visiting, but I wouldn't join long term. Has some decent equipment for strength training and cardio, but rather limited overall especially for strength training. Men using the gym were very touchy and imposing with women training without asking permission.

Joan Carlos Sanchez, the best coach of all time. Thanks to him, in a short time I have managed to achieve incredible results in changes to my body. His way of training leads us all to transform our bodies and minds, making us more confident and proud of our results. The best without a doubt, 100% recommended!!!👌🤩

I have notified the employees at the front that there is two machines that are broken it’s been 1 YEAR and 11MONTHS and the machines have not been fixed. All they did was put yellow caution tape around it. The worst part is there is no other back up machine there’s only 1 of each… I’m extremely fed up with paying annual fees “for gym maintenance” and having to pay every month for a gym that doesn’t even have working equipment. I will be contacting corporate very soon.

I haven't been to this youfit location on coral way and sw 122nd Ave in a few months. Tonight I decided to and what a mistake. Some older dude is shadow boxing making barking noises. I ask others, they say he does it all the time. I ask him to please lower it down a bit i can barely hear the music on my headphones. I realized he's not all there with how he responded. A smile, a roll of the eyes and continued barking. I went to the front desk to please say something. They said, everyone is entitled to their workout. I'm also entitled to such and to not have a rabid dogman barking right next to me. Thanks but I'll continue visiting my home location as I should have done tonight

This gym is a sinking ship. Stay away from this location. Visible mold and mildew emerging from numerous roof leaks in multiple parts of the ceiling. Barely ever any staff present, half the time no one is at the sign in counter. Free weights are always a scattered mess. Management is either nonexistent or grossly negligent

STAY AWAY! Their policy is terrible and made on purpose to steal your money. The manager named John made me believe that I could make a 6-month contract with a personal trainer and cancel it whenever I wanted, after two months I decided to cancel it and he told me that it was not possible and threatens me that if I didn't make my monthly payments my credit would be affected. I looked up my 6 months agreement because I couldn't believe there wasn't a cancellation form and I found that I can cancel before the agreed period by paying a fee of $100. I found the way they treat you and don't explain your contract to you very unprofessional. Everything is based on making the cancellation more difficult for you to continue stealing your money even if you don't go. I have not yet been able to cancel because it can only be with the manager where I made the contract who denies my cancellation rights after it being written in my contract that I can cancel. This is terrible, I will lose money but they are going to lose many clients this way they are working.

Very bad experience. Opened a membership January 2023 and cancelled it the same day and still waiting for my refund of $50.03. I contacted corporate and they did not respond after I gave details of the agreement number and refund amount. One person locally at the gym told me refund takes 2-3 days then another told me 2-3 months. I never used the membership due to rules regarding my 16 year-old using the gym, which was totally understandable; however, the lack of response has been unacceptable about my refund. If I cannot get my money back would have just appreciated a timely short answer, but instead have received no response at all.

Everything you could want in a gym. This place feels like home from the moment you walk in. The staff is friendly, it's always clean and the community is friendly, encouraging and knowlegable. One of the most important things for me in a gym is that I feel safe and Paradise delivers that and so much more.

I have been going to paradise since mid 2022 and I love it. I love the color scheme and the people are amazing. All the employees are super nice as well and I have had nothing but positive experiences in the gym. I also love the fact that everyone is so willing to help everyone at the gym. Love the place and I always recommend my friends in joining or buying a day pass.

My favorite gym. They have all of the right equipment to get a great workout. They have lots of personal trainers that I see there including my friend Archy who is a great motivator and inspiring person. I always tell my friends they need to go try this gym. In my opinion it’s the best gym out there for the value of your dollar. They have protein shakes, showers and lockers, and Friendly / positive environment that makes you feel good to go workout every day. 😁💪

Facility is decent enough for the price but the staff is extremely unprofessional. I had to freeze my account because I was away from work and they told me just to send an email to Chuck the owner. The next month I got charged so I call the facility and they told me they were going to send a message to Chuck to resolve the issue. I said ok no problem. A month passes and I get charged again. I call the gym again the third time, they tell me I'm lucky because the guy is there to resolve the issue in person that he is going to call me back. (He never does..) So now I'm mad. I call in and demand they get him on the phone so I can at least get my card off the file so they can stop taking my money. Chuck sends me an email that they are finally going to freeze my account and get refunded for those two months. I call in because I want to cancel my membership and not do any business there anymore and Chuck picks up and tells me I need to apologize to the staff.. I tell em: Dude cancel my membership I'm not apologizing. Facility is ok as long as you don't have to interact with the staff there.

The equipment is amazing, especially for powerlifting. The community in this gym is great too, as I’ve been able to learn so much from the other lifters at this gym!

I have been coming to this gym for more than one year, and this is maybe one of the most friendly and cleanest gyms I have ever been, the people working here and amazing, starting with Rosa, who keeps the gym spotless. You can use the floor to exercise knowing that it is perfectly clean, plus she is a ray of sunshine, always has a smile and a good morning, yes she works in the mornings. The gym is organized, and again, the people who are coming and working here make it even better.

How do I start. One of every machine just about. Of the 2 bench machines 1 was broken. People on their phones keeping equipment "utilized" but not being used. It was 4pm on a workday If you like social gyms go here. i bailed 1/2 way thru as same 2 guys were on the only leg curl and extension machines for 25 minutes and counting. Playing with their phones most of the time. Complete waste of time- go to another planet fitness

I have gone to this gym for 3 years and generally was a good experience. I recently started using another gym and would not come often to this PF gym. My problem here is the process of cancelling the membership. I called them and a girl answered the phone (I wish I had gotten her name), I asked if I can cancel my membership and she said I would have to “come in person and sign some documents.” I said “Okay, I will come right now to cancel it” I live less than 10 minutes away from the gym so it was no problem to go in person. I drive there and enter the gym. I see the girl and greeted her and asked if it was her that I spoke to about canceling my membership. She said yes, but then adds, “Oh but the manager just left” and that she was not allowed to cancel my membership. When she told me that I asked her again, “Was it not you that I spoke to on the phone?” And she said “Yeah”. A complete waste of my time and lack of consideration. This was clearly done on purpose so I would not be able to cancel the membership and continue paying. I had to call my bank and explain the situation in order to stop the payments.

I want to take a time to say that I am very glad Rosa came back to the gym.Her hard work is so much appreciate it ,because now everything is clean and neat .Thank you Rosa!

This gym is probably one of the worst gyms I've been to. The staff are really nice and they try their best, but the patrons are completely disrespectful of the place. People leaves dumb bells and plates around. People leave their used paper towels everywhere. The bathroom is disgusting. I feel that staff should pressure the patrons to re rack and clean after themselves. We're all adults here and we shouldn't have to be cleaning up after other people. The gym needs to be bigger for the volume of people that it services. The parking lot definitely needs to be bigger. I only come here out or convenience.

If I could give a 0 star to this gym I would a million times. STAY AWAY. DO NOT BECOME A MEMBER. Once you become a member you will NOT be able to cancel your membership. It is so bad, they will not give you a copy of the contract you signed with them. Corporate will tell you they cannot cancel your account either. You will have to dispute it with your bank THEN be sent to dent collectors THEN sent to corporate and THEN back to the gym manager to "cancel" your account. Over a year of a process to cancel this gym. STAY VERY FAR AWAY.

I’m giving this gym a 5 ⭐️ because of a few staffs but more importantly to MELISSA that work at the front desk! Thank you for taking the time in getting our 3 individual membership into a family plan today and for assisting with the transition since it’s four of us! Melissa also assisted me in sorting out other issues that we had in the past and she was very patient, calm, well spoken and very professional. I hope management will recognize her dedication and commitment in always assisting the customers and going out and beyond. Thank you

Recently moved from dade to cutler bay, been going to youfit for 5+ years all around Florida never had a problem with any and will continue going but this one in specific is booty because of the people who work there. I go in 3 out of 5 days a week and don’t bother anyone, I’m polite and don’t look for problems. I went in the bathroom and didn’t know the cleaning lady was in there so I continued and used it. When I get out she pops out of no where and starts screaming and making a big deal at me in Spanish. I tell her that I was sorry and continued my day. 2-3 weeks later, I gradually noticed that the moment I walk in all the employees look at me as if they knew me or something and making comments. One morning I ask the same lady if I can go in the men’s bathroom before entering to not cause a scene, and does the most to not let me use the bathroom. The thing is that it’s only with me. I ain’t coming to this gym no more. Probably another location..

First time going to one of these locations and it was a good experience. The gym is very tiny and lacking some important equipment but they keep it clean, friendly staff and the equipment they do have is very good quality.

I started to come here because It was a few min from my house but when I inquired about a personal trainer . a young boy I believe his name is Eros was someone I got recommended by another staff that can help I spoke with him and did a first session before committing to him. But my experience with him was never the less horrible. He was rude on how he explained the work out , super distracted n he seemed annoyed when I asked question . To be in this industry it’s not easy and you need to like people but he clearly doesn’t . Will be going to another youfit .

F45 Functional Training Country Walk has been an incredible experience over the past two years for me. I am thankful to Andres, Mike and Issac who have been wonderful coaches through out my time at F45. They have been kind, supportive, always encouraging while making workouts fun and engaging. The variety of classes kept things fresh, and the community atmosphere made it easy to stay motivated. Will miss this place and community. I’ve seen significant improvements in my strength and endurance over the past 2 years. Highly recommend F45 for anyone looking to elevate their fitness journey.

F45 is an excellent gym option if you are seeking a friendly environment with great coaches. They offer daily classes of resistance training (my personal fav), cardio or hybrid. You can also participate in team challenges to help motivate and push you to reach your personal fitness goals.

Best experience I’ve ever had relating my fitness journey. Not a big gym goer. I actually hated it but definitely felt welcomed, motivated, and like family at f45. Special shout out to Mike for believing in me before I believed in myself.

F45 Country Walk holds a special place in my heart. From the coaches, to the atmosphere, to the friends you make along the way, I look forward to going to the gym every morning. I leave each class feeling empowered and energized! If you’re looking to start F45, Country Walk is the place to be!

This was just what I was looking for. A gym where I don’t have to worry about planning and coordinating my workouts. F45 is run by a great crew of people. The trainers know their their stuff, able to modify movements for anyone that may need at a moments whim, very accommodating and friendly. Great energy and great music. Always dynamic and exciting and a pleasure to workout with people with the same goals!

Excellent service and attention. Valeria is super sweet and helped me in everything I needed. Has a clear idea of how the contracts work and of the different types of memberships. Overall, super nice and cute. I felt super comfortable and I’d come again anytime!

I would highly recommend a different gym. DO NOT GO HERE. This place tries to prey on people who have never used a gym before and do not speak English . They are out there to scam people out their money. My mother in law went here a couple weeks back. She hasn’t used a gym before and immediately gets signed up to a long term contract with very little understanding what the cost or the terms are. She misunderstood the entire process and was charged fees that were never explained. Also she even was overcharged. She tried to immediately cancel the next visit when she saw money taken out of her bank account and they basically told her too bad you signed up. You owe half of the remaining balance which happened to be over $1000 for going to the gym for one week. The cancellation policy is unethical. Whoever benefits financially from this just know you are taking advantage of immigrants trying to better their life. Again save your time and money find a different place . This place is out there to take advantage of you.

I just started working out here and I always feel welcomed here. This strip mall is easy to drive into, and I can always find parking. It is an open style gym that never feels crowded. The front desk is always friendly. The equipment cables feel smooth to use. There is always plenty of paper towels and disinfectant to use on each equipment. The bathrooms are always clean. The AC temperature always feels great, and the music is never loud. Of the cardio machines I have only used the stairstep machine and it is my favorite to use to start my workout. More often than not people are respectful and put their weights away, so I do like that I don’t have to search the gym for weights. I am very happy to have this as my new gym and they have great convenient type stores to shop at in this strip mall like Publix and CVS. This has been a great gym for me.

8am Saturday. Gym Opened less than 5 minutes ago. Weights and benches are all over the place. This isn’t what a member Wants to walk into when paying a membership. What’s the night shift doing ?

6/26/24 I just want to inform people of the horrible cancellation terms for personal training package . I hope no one else get scammed as my poor mom was. Gym staff do not inform cancellation terms when you sign. This information is only sent to your email 4 days later when it is too late to do any change. Please read carefully the terms because how is written may be misinterpreted. Masiel one of the managers in this location explained there are only 2 ways to cancel the 6month package. Either pay half of the whole price of the package of 6months plus 100% of every month used. Because she recently signed and had used 1 session prior today now she had to pay a total of 1000 dollars to cancel the personal training agreement. The other option is paying 100% percent of every month remaining in the agreement even though she will not use it. Hopefully the owners/managers change the cancellation policy. It currently seems a big scam. Also if youfit charges you extra fees by mistake. They take 30days to refund it. It is unacceptable Update 7/18. Youfit continues charging hundreds of dollars for a service we cancelled last month. Manager Maziel apologized for providing wrong information about fees. But her apologies do not refund the money. This is a nightmare. BIG SCAM
