Amazing gym. I’m a new member, my 3rd time here and I love it so far. Definitely designed for serious lifters. Highly recommended!

This gym seems to tailor to women body builders and has a lot of good weight lifting equipment, but they don’t even have one full elliptical machine. They have a half of one with stationary arms and it’s always being used, it’s rare you find it available. Not to mention this half elliptical is being balanced with other weights on the left side because it almost broken from all the use. If they really want to attract more females they should get some real ellipticals.

Patrons great. Staff great. Facilities NOT SO much. Outdated in looks. To much equipment crammed in small space. Need updated bathrooms and locker space. But, for heavy lifters, they love the place. Not terrible. Just sayin

I’ve been a member at Optimum gym for the last 6 months and it’s been an absolutely wonderful experience! The owner and all of his staff are helpful and kind. The gym has everything you need for any lifting style and is clean and well maintained. The environment is welcoming, non-judgemental, and a safe space for both men and women. I love Optimum and would recommend it to absolutely anyone!!

Very disappointed. My lady/fiancee canceled her membership back last year in Oct.she did the same process as one gentlemen who just walked in and canceled his membership did, and still they keep charging her, shes even contacted the OWNER and still NO response, This after 60Days and Now We have to be here Waiting on our OFF Day, Very frustrating and inconvenience. If only people would do their Job at a Standard of Excellence, its ashame that this standard doesnt exist on a consistent basis Here at Optimum Fitness Training! Wow JUST ADDING TO THE FACT THAT WE WERE THERE 3HOURS AND SAW FOUR4 OTHERS CANCEL, THAT SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING. HMMMMM. STILL FRUSTRATED BEING TREATED LIKE THIS ON A Saturday.

I just love this gym. It has all the equipment and professional training needed to get you in shape. Try it by yourself!, you wont regret it!. You will get motivated and great results either with a personal trainer or by yourself if you know what to do. Excellent place, clean and great customer service as well!!!

Got the best leg pump of my life here! Was great to workout here a couple days on a day pass while on vacation, wish we had this chain back home in Ohio, some of the equipment I’ve never seen before, I was like a kid in the candy store so many machines, if I worked out everyday here I would like the incredible hulk 😂

Most authentic and serious gym in Tampa that Ive visited. Small but has everything you need. Locally owned and operated, I pass 3 big box gyms on my 15 minute drive here and I do so happily. Best leg and back equipment anywhere Ive been as they do have a strong bikini training program. Love the back warehouse area which is not climate controlled.

I have been working out at this gym since it has opened. This is the best gym I have even trained at. This gym is semi private and is neverr crowded . This gym has a variety of equpment that targets every muscle group. The staff is very friendly and the gym is always clean. I love this gym and would definitley reccommend it!

Review №19

Equipment is old and some are broken. Staff is rude unless youre new and they want to sweet talk you into a membership. They charged me for 4 extra months I didnt ask for and when I called about a refund they basically said tough luck. TerribleEdit: They say they reached out to me to refund me. This is true, they reached out AFTER I did a chargeback on my credit card because I was tired of waiting months for them to fix it on their end. They day after I do the chargeback they contact me lmao. Im sure most of the staff here is nice, just the one I interacted one was rude (Ashley)

Relocating to Tampa for work, after researching gyms in the area and visiting Optimum Gym amongst a few others. Definitely think I will be signing up.They have some of the best and unique equipment especially for training legs. I also like the 24/7 access that will be essential with my soon to be hectic work schedule. Definitely recommend anyone to check it out.

Br
Review №22

Absolutely awesome gym for those who want a great environment to really get a great workout in. Excellent equipment options all around for people of all experience levels. Staff is also incredible, especially Ashley, who runs the day-to-day! Biggest perk is that the gym is 24/7 365! Would never think about switching gyms, best spot in the Bay!

My favorite gym in Tampa. Awesome trainers and coaches, great management (shout out Ruben!), advanced equipment you dont find in most chain gyms. If youre serious about fitness and want a gym to help you reach your goals, Optimum is the answer.

Ive been going to Optimum Gym for three months now and I have no complaints. Ruben is a great trainer! He pushes me to do my best and is always quick in replying to my questions. I love that the gym is never too crowded, clean, and 24 hour access to fit my schedule. I definitely recommend it! :)

Optimum is a place to bring your towel and train hard. This environment is for fitness enthusiasts, gym rats and exercise purists who are looking for a work-out environment without nonsense. You get 24/7 access and a great selection of equipment--both brand new pieces as well as some old-school vintage machines. I highly recommend this gym.

If you’re serious about working out this is a perfect gym. Equipment is great and so is the staff!! Ashley (always there) goes above and beyond to make Optimum a great place.

Review №27

I’ve been a member of Optimum for almost a year and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve been in my fair share of gyms and can honestly say Optimum gym is a perfect place to train. It has specialty equipment that rivals any gym in the city and has 24 hr access. With the constant improvements and additions, coupled with the amazing atmosphere, I wouldn’t dream of discontinuing my membership. I would advise anyone to give this gym a look!

Review №28

Love this place. Im there 6...sometimes 7 days a week. Its the best gym Ive been to; they have a great variety of equipment. I can always get a great workout in no matter what Im working out that day! Plus, the sauna is awesome to get a good sweat in on my off day.

Review №29

The instructors are extremely knowledgeable, highly motivated, and awesome people to be around. Ive never been in a gym with a better vibe. It has met my expectations as far as helping me keep focused on my goals and providing easy to use equipment for efficient workouts. The gym is also clean and appealing.

Review №30

Great gyms has equipment you wont find anywhere else.Only real complaint is No showers!?!?! Which for any gym not to have one is a joke. Also for big meatheads like me there is not enough 45lb plates. Other than that its pretty good, and best 24/7 gym in South Tampa

Review №31

I started working out with Ruben at Optimum Gym six months ago, and I have never felt better. I am more toned and feel so much more confident in my apperence (very important for a soon to be bride)! I really enjoy the gym because the people are friendly and the gym has everything you need to get a great work out in even when working out solo. This gym will provide a more positive experience than a chain gym that only cares about how many people walk in the door.

Hi
Review №32

This is a great South Tampa gym with everything you need to target your workouts and get yourself in shape. I decided to check it out because of the 24/7 accessibility, which you cant find anywhere else! I was immediately impressed with the variety of nautilus & free weight equipment they offer for all levels of fitness. (They also offer full service boxing & classes!) They also have a full line of supplements readily available for pre and post workouts which is a huge convenience. It is a great gym to go to. The members and staff are always friendly and nice. They keep the equipment up to date and the gym is always clean. (This gym is a diamond in the rough! ) Check it out and see for your self.

I love coming to Optimum Gym, they have the best equipment, even old school equipment you will not find in other gyms. My favorite workouts are for my lower body, they have the best leg and booty building equipment. Also the convenience of 24 hour access. Definitely recommend this gym. The staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable as well.

Review №35

Optimum Gym is the best in Tampa Bay. Privately owned and operated bu the best trainer Ruben Cherres! If you are serious about getting a fit bikini body definitely choose Optimum as other gyms will not give you the personal family attention and motivation you will need! Dont be just a number, work out local! I lost 20 pounds thanks to Ruben and Optimum!

Review №36

Cant go wrong by choosing this gym. Open 24/7, very clean, and it has all the gym equipment necessary for anyone to get in a good workout. The owner seems to always be there finding ways to make the gym a better experience, and is constantly ordering better equipment to stay up to date. I used to go to other gyms in Tampa and spend way more money, but found a good home at Optimum Gym. Ashley and Ruben helped sign me up, and both are friendly to me each time Im there. It isnt the size of a national chain gym, which is actually a good thing, and they also take members opinions to better improve the place. Ive read a few of the bad reviews of this gym, and I personally disagree with them. I pay the same amount as all the other people I know who go there, and the owner is nice to me. This gym is certainly worth joining if youre in the market for a new place to train.

I love optimum gym! It is where NPC Bikini girls and bikini beach body girls are made! It has high standard quality machines and equipments. Private and never too crowded. It has workout room, posing room, and boxing garage. You can do so many types of workouts here its awesome. Especially for ladies, lots of booty building machines ;) The owner Ruben is also a good friend and a very nice person. He connects to all his clients and members on a deeper friendship level. Optimum gym will feel at home. And theres a sauna too ha!

Review №39

The reason why many women are here reviewing the gym is because Ruben loves to give discounts to women but not men? My friend signed up for the gym and she had to pay $30 to get started and when I come in to get the same deal I get told $80 to start. Ruben is obviously sexist and gives discount to certain people. Shameless. I wouldnt want to be a part of such discrimination for no reason. The only reason to give Ruben(owner) 5 stars is because hes playing all the women into his gym.Update: Your lack of control over your employees is embarrassing and now you want to use her as an extension to me who has nothing to do with what happened with her. Youre ripping people off based on their sex and thats unfair that is all thats in my review. I fail to understand what my connection to your employee is. The fact that you are disregarding my review based on something that happened recently and you personally addressed me just shows that youre covering something up and thats great for business.

Optimum is absolutely the best gym Ive ever been a member of. The 24 hour access is so convenient. The equipment is great, boxing classes and full boxing ring for use any time. Ruben is the man, he helped me to get in shape creating monthly work outs and meal plans, working around my schedule to coach me in the gym. ❤💪🏼

Optimum fitness is my favorite gym to train. I love it because its fully equipped with cardio machines, weights, squat racks, barbells & dumbbells- yet it still provides an intimate atmosphere. Gym goers here are serious about fitness. There are all fitness levels working towards obtaining different goals. I have a key fob that provides me 24/7 access so I have no excuse for not working out. The kickboxing classes are challenging, engaging and fun. I am not a bikini model, but working out next to them motivates me to do my personal best.

Great gym!! I love that its 24 hours. Most of the week I only get gym time between 12 and 4 in the morning. I love that I can come in anytime and get a great workout in. The staff is really great and helpful, especially if youre trying a new workout and need a couple of pointers.

Review №45

Love Optimum Fitness Gym, I wont go anywhere else! They are conveniently located on Kennedy Blvd close to my work so I workout during my lunch hour. This gym has so much to offer with 24/7 access, full range of equipment, boxing classes, personal training and private/group NPC bikini model training -- they give you all the tools needed to reach your fitness goals. If you are thinking to take it up a notch and want to get into the best shape of your life, I highly recommend private personal training sessions. Ruben is by far the best trainer Ive ever met and has been training me since November 2015, wish I would have found him years ago! He keeps my muscles guessing with unique exercises which is key to seeing results quickly. I always look forward to my workouts, he motivates and pushes me to the limits. I have seen my body change in the past 9 months and cant thank him enough!

Review №46

Optimum is my 5 star elite choice of South Tampa Gyms. They have successfully managed to combine top of the line workout equipment with some necessary old school real workout equipment that you just cant find in gyms today, to give your body a complete, muscle tiring workout. The trainers took a lot of time to get to know me and what my individual goals were so we could develop a realistic plan I can actually attain while balancing a full time career. Other gyms in the area that are considered high end always stuck me with an hourly waged college kid who could care less about me, in an overly crowded gym that never had convenient time slots available for the regular working class. Optimums attention to me, my needs and most importantly my availability sold me on this gym and I havent even mentioned the boxing yet! This gym has the best array of unique boxing equipment, classes and one on one boxing training of any other boxing studio I have been to. What an amazing stress relief sport that also gives you a total body workout if you are trained to do it properly. You dont just walk in and beat on a bag, run around a circle, and do some sit-ups. You actually learn to box here! If you havent tried Optimum gym yet, you are seriously missing out on a great fitness experience. I highly recommend it!

Compared to the few other gyms Ive been to before Optimum Gym is definitely my favorite!! The 24/7 access is great when it comes to my hectic work schedule, & the trainers are awesome and always willing to help and answer any questions you may have. I love that they have a boxing area for an extra way to get in some good cardio! Also, being able to relax in the sauna following a good workout is just one of my favorite things :-)!! Definitely recommend checking it out!!

Review №53

Signed up and got a great workout in. The gym itself is awesome. Great atmosphere and equipment. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is because the locker room/shower was limited. I usually work out early in the morning and then shower before heading straight to work. While the locker room is fine for someone who lives locally and doesnt need that, I have a commute and it just simply was not conducive for my situation. The owner was great and worked me to refund the initial fees and membership charges. Its unfortunate that I wont be able to work out there!

Optimum is an amazing gym! Huge variety of equipment that you don’t see in other gyms and it’s NEVER crowded. Also, not one person has come up to me while I’m working out, which is a HUGE plus. I’ve been training with Ruben for 5 months and he’s definetely helping me gain the muscle that I want! Definetly the best gym I’ve gone to.

I followed my trainer from Caltas to his new gym, Optimum Fitness, when he opened it earlier this year. I have been working out at different gyms for about 10 years and Optimum Fitness is one of my favorite gyms. The trainers and staff are very friendly and care about their clients/members. The owner has carefully selected the equipment for his gym. I love to work on my lower body and this place has leg/glute equipment you dont find in most other gyms. They offer 24/7 hour access which is great for anyone with a crazy work schedule or if you find yourself motivated to workout at odd hours. There is boxing equipment and group boxing classes. No matter where you are in your fitness journey, this gym will suit your needs.

Optimum is by far the best gym in tampa- completely different than your typical LA fitness or Powerhouse (in the best way)! Huge room for boxing and larger exercises in the back with good music and a great vibe. All of the machines you could ever want and cardio thats never packed or full in the front- open 24/7! Ruben is the best trainer Ive ever worked with and knows how to train females unlike anyone Ive ever experienced before :) Go check it out!
