Caltas has turned around my hope for gyms in the Tampa Bay area. Stocked with more equipment you can ask for. Boxing classes available with membership having classes offered every day of the week aside Sunday. The availability of time to go and machines to use is a no brainer when looking into a new gym.The trainers are some of the most encouraging people and have created their schedules often based around their clients needs.Love this gym.
My favorite gym! Great owner, very passionate about making sure customers have the very best facility in town.
Nice clean well organized gym! The staff is very friendly and helpful. Great place to train and workout.
This is a really good gym, one of the best gyms in Tampa, it has machines that almost no other gym has and dumbbells go up to 150lbs!
Great place! The gym itself has every machine you could ever need, dumbbells up to 150, and the boxing program is phenomenal! Great trainers, very friendly and helpful and the owner is always there, extremely nice, knowledgeable and helpful! Highly recommend!
A great boxing gym with 24/7 access. Knowledgeable and helpful coaches, great equipment and an affordable membership: this is the place to be if you want to grind and get results.
I love this gym! It’s a great place to work out and the owners are super friendly. On top of regular work outs it’s a seriously impressive boxing gym but without being intimidating. I love that it’s family owned! ...not a corporate big chain gym but still uber professional!
Awesome family-owned gym, open 24/7, offers personal training and boxing classes. The staff is wonderful also! Weekly and monthly rates are offered if you are like me and dont like to make commitments and they even offer student discounts. Highly recommend over other big-name gyms!
Super fast past high intensive workout !!! Great instructors!! I would highly recommend this establishment if your looking to get in shape and strong fighting skills
I love this gym. I’ve never had a problem with anyone. Great customer service. Very clean as well
Great space to box, friendly staff! Definitely recommend!
Terrible gym. When it was opened in S. Tampa I paid for a full year and was ensured that I would get a refund if it closed down. Well it did close and after countless phone calls and promises of reimbursement, I never saw a dime. They ripped me off. Do not trust this gym owner.
Great atmosphere Mr. Calta was great.
Came by to signup no staff available and no answer to the phones.
Awesome gym! Awesome staff! Great environment! Open 24 hours a day! Smith machines and free weights! All of the needed equipment! Great place to work out! 💪😎👍
Slick facility - top equipment & staff - best boxing around! Invigorating!
Tried to cancel membership and went through the same run around a lot of other people mentioned.
Worst customer service experience I have ever had. I signed up in Jan of 2017. I moved and have been trying to cancel since December 2017. Every time I try to cancel they say I need to send a letter or do it online, the answer is never the same. I have sent emails, made phone calls and sent emails.I have been paying for a gym membership in a state in which I do not live and there is no attempt for them to rectify this. DO NOT SIGN A CONTRACT HERE. DO NOT DO IT. I called again on June 7th and the woman working there was no help. I just don’t understand if I sign a year contract and never resign how they can CHARGE ME FOR 3 ADDITIONAL YEARS. It’s an awful rip off, so unprofessional.
Best gym ever. Really clean, huge gym, ample machines. I can get in and get out and stay focused.
I had a membership for about 1 1/2 yr, when I moved I asked for cancellation at end of November. After my bank notified my in December they were trying to charge me I called and spoke to Staff who advised they would speak to management have them contact me to resolve them attempting to charge me $30, my bank then cancelled that card to prevent them attempt to do the same, no manager contact. Now it’s Febuary I received multiple calls or text responded to the calls and spoke to staff who threatened collections noting even though after the first year the contracts states your month to month that have to be notified 3 months in advance which only applies to contracts cancelled prior to the year commitment. When I requested supervisor contact I was told they will have someone call me and still no call. I know feel there practices are predatory at the very least, now they are stating I owe them $90 dollars....don’t waste your time or money on the headache..... way better gyms for way better service.
Amazing gym, amazing personal trainer Joey
Great atmosphere, private facility with lots of space and all the equipment you could wish for.
BEWARE this gym is ran by crooks. When I initially signed up I requested to be put under a monthly contract. When I decided to cancel I found out that the person who signed me up actually put me under a year around contract. This means no cancellation fee! In addition they are charging me 53 a month and it’s not worth it! I only signed up because it was 24hrs and had punching cardio classes (THAT THEY DONT HAVE ANYMORE). So you’ve been warned. If your looking for a good gym to really workout at I recommend Crunch or Powerhouse Gym.In Response your to recent comment. Regardless of my demeanor at that time. I told you about this situation and you told me sorry but that I would still have to pay for the entire year in order to cancel. You didnt bother to ask who signed me up or have a sit down between you, the employee, and myself. So by definition a crook is a dishonest person and thats exactly how your staff conducted themselves.In addition it was completely obvious that you or any other management of this facility condoned this type of practice. And apparently other customers feel the same way. So good luck to you and I hope the $700 dollars was worth the reputation of your business! Have an awesome day!!
Best gym I’ve been to
Their facilities are outdated and If you sign up for a class and try to cancel they will always charge you the next month. You can’t just cancel on the spot. There are better gyms. I meant to write this for st Pete location. But google won’t let me switch.
Put a good exercise in has all types of equipment for any training.
Nice clean gym and the staff are very friendly and helpful ❤
Very knowledgeable safe family oriented
Best equipment cool staff and fair pricing. Plenty of space and equipment so no sitting around waiting. The ones that complain about this gym are the ones that want to pay 10$ a month to sit on their phones half their workout.
My name is Sharon and I have been a member of the Waters Ave Gym, as well as the Busch Blvd gym, and the Kennedy Ave Boxing gym for 20 years. Thats how great these gyms are. My husband worked out on Busch Blvd in the 1980s before we met and remembers the machines that Frank Calta designed. Now we are just two old workout people in our 60s, but what better way to get old than by working out at Caltas gyms?.
This is a pretty cool gym! Top notch equipment, very courteous staff, awesome trainers, etc! Being a member here is awesome! :)
I bought memberships for me and my son. He was a high school athlete and would spot him. After high school he was recruited and went to play collage ball. We went to gym together and cancelled memberships after 2 years. I was appalled that I had to pay an additional 4 months for cancellation. I paid. 6 months latter I checked my bank account to find out That Frank Caltas was continuously charging my account for 1 membership. I stopped payments. At this time I started getting texts threatening collectors. I called and tried to straighten there mistake and at the end of all this Caltas charged me an additional 2 months to cancel membership. I paid 8 months to get out of contract due to there shoddy bookkeeping. When you cancel be sure and get it in writing. Terrible customer service. I feel violated and only payed to keep my credit rating. Would not recommend to anyone
I just started at caltas recently following my long time trainer Shane Davis. He is an amazing trainer would highly recommend him... Rarity finding a trainer that truly cares about his clients. Place is a good size and plenty of equipment.
Best gym Ive ever been too
Affordable Gym with plenty of equipment. Always clean. Great personal trainers. See Rashidi if you are interested in losing weight and need an extra push. Many complaints about the contracts Ive read. With any contract, just be sure to read it before you sign it!! Ive had nothing but great experiences working out at this location, and you CANT BEAT THE PRICE!! - Cris
Took my first class with some friends tonight and I loved it!! They really push you here and it’s a great full body workout!
Nice gym, lots of equipment, and not terribly packed. If you read the contract before you sign and pay, youll know what youre getting into. Im looking at you other reviewer complaining about fees and cancelling.If you pay for a certain amount of time upfront, its a lot simpler,cheaper, and less possible fees. And again, regarding their cancellation policy, simply reading the contract you sign informs you of their policies(any additional fees, cancelling, etc..). Maybe dont pay and sign a contract if you dont like it.
Bar None the best gym in Tampa Bay
I’m so happy to be part of this amazing gym . The price is good and all the people are nice
Great gym, great atmosphere and courteous staff. I love working out here, its large and has great equipment and is very clean. The extended hours works with my schedule and my son can now work out at Punch next door!
With a 24 hour gym and multiple locations, they need a better system to take care of their customers. Horrible Customer Service!!! There is no reason for it to take three weeks to cancel service. Better to look else ware.
I’ve been a member at Caltas since 2011 and am thrilled with the new changes that the new owners have brought. The new owners areKind and responsive and have brought in quite a few improvements to the gym. Also, Anthony the personal trainer is fantastic!
Not to complain but during the weekends and almost every day there is constant ghetto rap blaring very loudly. Even pods and headphones cant block it there should there should be a variety of music to suit everyones likes not just one persons
The people are friendly, the gym is always clean, and there is a wide variety of equipment. Overall, this is a great gym.
This is a great gym! Its very big, spacious, clean, affordable and everyone is friendly. They offer personal training (813 personal training) and my trainer is awesome!
Machines are great but the atmosphere are gossip mens dont accepted the fact that you going to work out not to gossip
Less people, more stuff to work out on.
Where do I start? This facility came to a convenience for me for its price and location. I signed up for a 6 month contract and when that contract was over. I was still getting charged for going to the gym. This was over a year ago. I am still paying for late fees and all of these are now in a bill collectors office. This is the WORST GYM I have ever been to. They are messing up my credit and life by having to drive down there every month for them to say that everything is cleared. It is September 2013 and I am still dealing with these people. Worst service ever also. They never keep anything on file, so when its time to bring up past payments they are no where to be found. I wish I can sue them for all they have. AVOID THIS PLACE!!!!
I REALLY DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE IS SO MANY BAD FEES ABOUT THIS GYM . BECAUSE THIS GYM IS GREAT I LOVE IT HERE I BEEN TWO 4 DIFF GYM AND THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST IN TOWN . THE ONLY THING IS THAT THE A/C IS EIGHTER OFF OF REALLY HIGH BECAUSE ITS ALWAYS HOT BUT OTHER THEN THAT IS A GOOD GYM .
None of these reviews make any sense to me. There is a cleaning lady there every day, its cheap, all the equipment you need to have to workout is there, and this gym had been in Tampa for over 30 years.. Its the only known gym in Tampa so they must be doing something right. Ive been a member for 3 years now and absolutely love it!
Love the workout but God forbid you have a life altering situation occur that requires relocation, to get out of the contract is impossible. They dont return your call, arent willing to work with you or make accommodations. They just continue to bill as usual.
I don’t why everyone is complaining about this place! I recently just signed up, been a memeber for 3 weeks now, and I have to say, they have the BEST equipment, while being a bodybuilding gem (I compete and this gym is PERFECT for that and my needs) when it comes to gyms around here. Never packed, staff is awesome, great pricing, not too big, yet not too small- just perfect! You can’t beat the equipment, & I have been a memeber at other big names gyms. I haven’t seen badass equipment like Caltas has! The gym is currently under maintenance & some of the equipment isn’t accessible, but it doesn’t stop you from getting in a awesome training session, & I’m looking forward to the changes to come. Happy to be a memeber!-Tarryn Nettles
Lets go ahead and begin by saying that this is one of the best gyms that you will find beating the competition in my oponion, the gym is full of great people you will only find serious lifters in here that are trying to inprove their fitness goals, you remember when you use to wait for a machine for 15 minutes because you had 4 teenagers talking about how cool they were and all their goals but couldnt lift their life out of the hole they were in remember that you dont get that here you come in here to have your workout and inprove yourself mentally and fisically, and if you happen to have any questions or concerns there is always someone in the front desk and if there is no one you can always call the emergency phone number that you can get in contact at any time with someone that will be there to help you. The gym itself is clean it has a locker room shower all of the above the restrooms are always clean 24/7 i have never seen it dirty. When you want to bench there is always a bench open you want to squat there is always a squat rack open my guy my lady quit waisting your money in a gym where you feel unconfortable ones you come here ones you will never go away caltas gym have always lived up to its name of high cuality costumer service and making the enviroment better for evrybody else and encouraged you to cone by this will be the best decicion you will make.
Caltas 24/7 Gym Is by far my favorite gym in Tampa, FlThe equipment is legitimately the best in towneasy access 24/7 straight to the pointif you take working out seriously you should join Caltastrust me you would learn something new everydayI started my 24 hour access membership hereover the next two months it transformed me need i say morewhat ever your goal is stick to it the results will show........
To say this gym is poorly managed is giving the ownership too much credit. Zero maintenance is done in the facility, it was constantly dirty and unorganized, and the customer service is terrible. Due to a job transfer, I had little notice to move and they stuck me with almost $100 in fees that they immediately sent to a collections agency without sending me a bill or even a phone call.Avoid this place at all costs. I would have rather gone to planet fitness.
Staff is super friendly, always super helpful. Great equipment great atmosphere.
This is my favorite place, the gym is amazing everything you need, friendly staff updated equipment I dont understand why an individual has to dog a place cause there account bounced twice like every gym there are late fees and if your responsible you would be able to control your money on that note, stop by and check us out we are one of the only gyms open 24/7 and everyone here is here for a reason not to just say they workout
Awesome gym they open 24 hours a lot of cardio machines and a great area for free weights.
The gym is alright. i mean just talking about the weights and different machines. but the service and the deals they have for members are horrible. deff not going to recommend this place to anybody, not even my worst enemy. Go somewhere else, i promise you it will be worth your money, you will just be suckered out of a few hundred if you go here.
Scam artists. Advertise $14/ month, but then you get charged $40+ twice a year, and THEN if you want to cancel, you need to submit a 60 day written notice prior to your termination date or you just renewed for another year. (Youre never told about the canvellation policy when you sign up) Does LA Fitness do that? NO, you cancel by phone. Golds gym? Cancel by phone. Etcetera. Slimeball gym owner with a chip on his shoulder, I cant remember his name. My bank, Wells Fargo, sided with me, but I still had a balance sent to collections. I have an 809 credit score, yet Im still furious. This guy is lucky I dont report him or pursue legal actions for unethical business practices. AVOID THIS PLACE. Planet fitness is down the street and $10/month with NO CONTRACT
Just started at caltas recently, and I love it, great people, lot of space and good environment.
Doesnt even deserve 1/2 of a star!I also had a bad experience with this gym. The equipment is terrible and the customer service is beyond lacking. Tried to cancel membership and went through the same run around a lot of other people mentioned. Sent certified letter and was charged an additional month. Had to make numerous phone calls and send copies of my letter and the signature of delivery/receipt three times before I finally got my money back from these people. Would not ever recommend to anyone!
I was a member at the Gandy Blvd location and was not pleased. weights never in order, i never saw anyone cleaning equipment and i was in there during the rush for 2 hours 4 times a week. dumbbells never in the right place. some dumbbells only had one for the pair. the weight plates where spread all over the gym. then i find out they where billing months after my contract was up and will continue to bill me for another 2 months after i told them i was not attending gym anymore. BULLSHT. read your contract and dont get scammed like i did. i should have gone to UFIT instead. You would think a smaller gym like Caltas would be more customer friendly. what a joke that place is. I sure one day they will empty the gym without telling clients and not give back there money.
In from out of town for a month & I found this place to be very reasonably priced. Its got everything I need & the staff has been friendly as well.
Not even a member here came for my first visit called multiple times with no answer no staff around to help it was locked nobody could get in ... don’t understand the 24/7 concept that you guys have going on?
This place is filthy if you intend to use the showers beware. The health commisssion should check this place out. I had 24 hour access that I had to pay extra for, the access did not work a lot of times. The equipment is old and in need of repair.DO NOT JOIN
Terrible.. I dont know how to say when i got charged 80$ for 2 months... and when I try to cancle the plan... the owner will just give me variety of reasons that make no sense... dont come here... and stay away from it
They closed and took my money. DO NOT GO TO THIS GYM
Ran by scammers do not join this gym
Cant really find anything good to say about this place
Amazing place to workout
Gym is ran by con artist stay away!!!!
Good gym
Not worth the money
Love this gym
Clean
My favorite !!!!!!!
Sucks
Dont trust it ... your job is to take the most money from you. You ask for a cancellation and they dont process it ... if you pay cash they always give you a refund ... their process is to scam customers who want to cancel ...
More than a year ago I asked to leave and they want to charge me for doing that and they will also send me for collection
