Ok place to work out. Older machines. Mainly to work out . Get in and get out.

This gym is so clean. I have been and worked at plenty of gyms and hands down this is the cleanest. There is always someone making sure everything is wiped down. The machines are spaced out perfectly so you’re not hovering over someone. I’m new to the area and I don’t regret becoming a member at this blink...

Very clean, well-kept facility. Top notch in terms of equipment variety—they have just about everything you could imagine. I’d highly recommend this health club to anyone.

First time back in over a year and I have to say I felt comfortable and safe. Social distancing is in place and you do need a mask on when not actually working out.

This is an ole school gym. There are no fancy equipments, racket ball or basketball courts. You come here for one reason and one reason only.

One of the best gyms you can find. Proof is in the people there. Ever heard to not trust a skinny chef? Well dont trust a gym without focused, devoted individuals in it. Some pro level talent in there but Ive never encountered any ego or bullys. The atmosphere is fantastic, great mix of old school machines along with modern equipment, excellent staff and this gym without exaggeration is the fastest at repairing machines Ive ever seen. Organized, clean, dumbells racked in the proper spots and people actually rack their weights. Cant recommend this place enough.

Great place has a lot of equipment and usually there is no problem getting to use them.It is a gym not a social club. It doesnt offer yoga or other classes. You can get a personal trainer but they are not directly associated with the gym.They have knowledgeable people and keep the place clean

Its a no-nonsense gym and I really enjoy that aspect of it. Most of the people are there to do there thing and leave, so its not a social club. The staff is friendly. Nothing but positive about this place.

Went this morning for the first time, Joe was extremely nice and professional. Atmosphere was old school, every member was there to work out and not just socialize, weights were organized, an entire area strictly for abs. Countless leg machines, belts provided as well! Refreshing to not hear played out pop music blaring from the speakers. Feel lucky to have found this gym. 💪😁

I have to say. Having been to different youfit locations. I decided to give this gym a try, being right down the street. I wish I went sooner! The staff is friendly, tons of equipment and everyone is respectful. I’m just going to add my 5 stars like everyone else. Highly recommend if you are looking for a serious workout and not a social gathering.

This is the most ideal spot for serious training. Loaded with a huge variation of real equipment for real athletes or fitness enthusiasts. You will not be disappoinmented in coming to this gym if you feel that you want to get a true workout with a real bodybuilding gym vibe. This is the Powerhouse Gym East Coast Mecca in NY but down in Florida. Everyone is extremely nice, helpful and it’s a great atmosphere to train in.

Love this place! Great old school gym with awesome equipment. The owner is so friendly and I find it so refreshing that everyone puts back their weights. If youre a serious gym goer, I would recommend beasting legs or chest there.

Review №34

Go there if your trying to actually build your core and gain muscle mass. Raw weights not any subtracted bar weight are anything like that.

Great mom-and-pop gym. Cant recommend anything better. The co-owners make it a point to make everyone feel like theyre in a brotherhood. The equipment might be rough around the edges but the authenticity of the gym and its patrons make working out a enjoyable event.

Review №43

My first time there, was very impressed.Got a discount for being a veteran, staff is incredibly friendly, and a personal trainer came up to me to give tips/advice. 10/10, I will definitely keep going.(Only way to make this place better is to install a pool or sauna)

As a powerlifter athlete and personal trainer Ive been through many gyms, youfit, planet fitness, 24hr fitness etc but University fitness is overall the best! Been going since 2006 the owner and staff are friendly & helpful also a clean facility and has everything u need to have a great workout without the BS! They even have powerlifting bumper plates & a section for it very diverse machines & plenty of free weights & cardio. This is the last hardcore Arnold swartszenagger type gym in Florida! And great prices I highly recommend!

Disscusting, Filthy Fitness Center. Unbelievable gross bathroom. The owner Jim is a rude old man. We cancelled our membership. They kept billing my credit card for two months. Still have NOT gotten money back. Thanks Jim.

I think Im just going to add to the glut of 5-star reviews here, but this place deserves it. The staff is super friendly. The weights are always where they belong. And the payment plan has no catches -- no cancellation fees, no signup fees, etc.

So I wanted to wait a week after joining (and after 5 workouts) to make sure I wasn’t dreaming about University Fitness. I’m not. Yes, the awesome General Manager Mike still remembered my name a week later and often and quickly spot-checks in on many members to see if they need anything or have any questions. Yes, the members are friendly and focused without being disruptive, intrusive, or gym-inappropriate. On my second day, I met an 82-year old member (Leonard) who was so encouraging and welcoming while completely defying Father TIme with a smile! Yes, the environment is bodybuilder/weightlifter/powerlifter-serious without taking itself so seriously that you feel unwelcome.Yes, the equipment is redundant, which is awesome when someone is using the equipment or weights you want (though that rarely happens) and you just walk 5 feet to the other machine you also wanted. Yes, Monday nights are their busiest night, and yet you won’t have to wait for machines nor be surrounded by bodies in your personal space. Yes, the equipment is time-tested (those in the know will know why this is important and rare these days). Yes, they have several cable cross-over machines (and several other similar equipment throughout the facility). Yes, they have an entire room for abs! Yes, they also have Squat Racks, Punching Bags, Hammer Strength, Cybex, Diesel, Atlantis, Magnum, and other great lines of equipment. Yes, they also have cool stuff like MAG lat pull down attachments and Rogue Multi-Grip 7ft bars. It’s not a chain gym, but they have plenty of chains and outdoor Sled sprints and tire flips! Yes, the personal trainers are world class and, from what I can tell, personable professionals. Yes, the parking is convenient, safe, and plentiful. Yes, the membership rates are incredibly reasonable and can be paid monthly or at one time for the length of time you want. Yes, University Fitness is Silver Sneakers and SilverFit certified (if that’s a thing that your insurance might ask for). Yes, the staff is awesome. Yes, the two (rescued) puppies that are part of the University Fitness Team are awesome and love to be loved!With so many “yes”es, surely, there must be some “no”s, right? Uh huh. No contracts. No Initiation Fees. No high pressure personal training packages sales tactics (like at LA Fitness, which I had to leave because these were ridiculous!). No fancy cardio, yoga, cycling, abs classes (if you’re into that kinda thing). No fancy locker rooms with fancy soap or warm towels (And? They have the basics: lockers, sinks, showers, urinals, stalls… and they’re all clean). No pool. No sauna. It’s southeast Florida… these might exist elsewhere in your life.University Fitness is an old school gym that are a dying breed. Yet, it is a living, breathing dream-come-true. I’m pretty sure that University Fitness will take your fitness goals as seriously as you do, and then some. Whether you’re a world-class bodybuilder, fitness competitor, powerlifter, or I’m so happy I discovered this gym and so angry with myself that it took me so long. Don’t make the same mistake!
