I have been a member of this gym since 2004. When the new owners, Sarah and Eddie, took over the business a few years ago, the gym has flourished. The environment is friendly, clean, they added new equipment, tons of sanitizing spray and towels, and great fitness classes. I enjoy coming to the gym and feel like we are a family here! I highly recommend you obtain a membership here.

Absolutely love this gym! Owners are super friendly. I have been training with Sarah for over a year and in the best shape of my life. My husband and daughter attend this gym and love it! It is truly a family fitness center.

Signed up for the gym about a year ago. It is not as hyped as the 5 star reviews say they are (might be friends of the owners). The machines are either broken or way too close to each other (talk about social distancing) the other person’s next to you, their sweat can bounce off to you. There are nobody at this gym because nobody wants to sign up here! It’s in a plaza full of homeless people. So 24 hour gym? No one would feel safe with them sleeping in corners. I had to cancel my membership because of an incident that happened between me and another member. Owners were racially profiling accusing of us sneaking in the gym. Just because we forgot to scan our key card. Owners doesn’t know how to run a business. When you sign up for the gym, typically, you get a tour of some sort, which you don’t. Maybe because their too busy working out. I do not recommend this gym to anyone. Spend your money elsewhere. To your response Mrs. Sarah - You need to tell the Internet the truth. Rule # 1 as a business owner, you don’t argue with your customer, which you did. You came to us and asked my friend if I was a member. Then you advised us we didn’t scan our card, which we apologize and we scanned our card. You were put in your place after you attacked us and you took it personal. Not once did you say we used someone else’s card. What is disappointing is you are not telling the truth about what happened. But instead, you want to argue with your members. Maybe if you spoke the truth and be honest, maybe you would have more members sign up.

Signed up for this gym membership a couple months ago and not only is it 24 hour access, but the trainers there are amazing! I lost 50 pounds! Everyone is super professional and the equipment here is remarkable. The best part is that they allow you to have a gallon of water (unlike planet fitness). I would 10/10 recommend this gym.

I started out as a new member during the time COVID peaked. This gym remained operational and followed all the guidelines especially in terms of cleanliness during this time. I thought I would workout here until my gym opened back up. After 1 year I never returned to my old gym as a member and made a great decision in staying on board. This gym is amazing..#1 unlike gyms Ive worked out they FIX their machines quickly and always bring in challenging new equipment. #2 the facility including bathrooms are immaculate. #3 the owners who are married are both fantastic! They never seem too busy to converse about the new machines, life, goals etc. If anyone is in doubt and seeking a new gym with up to date hardcore equipment -- look no further. If you enjoy boxing, muy tai and other activities they have that too. Ive even enjoyed a stretching/yoga class that was free since Ive been a member. Give it a try, you wont regret it. Cheers!

BEWARE!!!! Do not give this gym any of your money in advance! Not worth it, and then to be taken for 3-4 months HIGHWAY ROBBERY! They make up rules as they go along. I prepaid for 12 months in Dec 2020. No early contract or clauses that I cannot cancel at anytime. I selected this gym as the rest of my family went there for martial arts classes, which included a gym membership. Out of no where they advised the gym membership was no longer with the package of martial arts. So with no one in my family having gym access I requested to cancel. I called, left a message that I would like to cancel. They must receive a lot of cancellations as their prerecorded message stated if you are cancelling you must come in person to cancel. However, I still left a message stating my name, number, and that I am requesting to cancel my 12 months with 3 months remaining. Please call me back to understand how the transaction will take place. Two weeks pass, no call.I now make my way over there, walk in, speak to the owner. He asks for my name and we have nothing to do, you prepaid 12 months so we wont cancel you either come or dont. I said, I dont want access, I want a refund for the remaining months. He said, you prepaid so you lost it. I said where did I sign for those terms? He said you didnt, thats just how we do it. So you can come back between now and December. Why waste people’s time and have them come in if you are keeping their money!The gym has old equipment, broken ACs, smells, some days it smells like old sweaty locker-room and others like a Clorox bomb was setoff on-top of on top of old sweaty locker room.Again, I only chose this gym because of the martial arts my kids attended that is located in the gym and dealt with the quality due to convenience. Once they removed everyones gym memberships for martial arts students, where my family cannot also workout there was no reason for me to accept the low quality. There are cleaner, updated, and cheaper gyms around that have rules established that not only benefit the owners whims.Clarification based on the owners response:A. I paid full price for the year at the prepayment rate… no huge discount. Lol!! Price I paid 250.00 (equates to est $21 vs regular 26 monthly rate) + 35 member fee. Given convenience mentioned above made it comparable price wise to other gyms even though quality was a subpar 3 at best. That does not change the fact the members should have a cancellation process with a refunded amount.B. Glad the ACs are finally fixed hopefully equipment will be next.C. You are correct, my husband was informed of the irrelevant excuse given the day of cancellation to all Muay Thai members. Which speaks profoundly to your whimsical business decisions and further supports my review. Abuse of privileges for non paying members should not impact paying ones. Sounds like a business records problem to me. However, that still won’t take care of the many homeless that seem to be members from Florida and Nebraska Aves I watched come in the evening using only the bathrooms as their home bathroom and never working out.In the end, now you have AC (lol), equipment unchanged, flippant business decisions still occur, still people abusing the privileges, and you still keep people’s money. Thanks for the response.

I absolutely love it here! This is one of the best gyms Ive encountered. Family owned, family environment. Sarah and Eddy are great folks. Everyone that comes here is serious about their training. This is NOT a meat market environment. The owners foster an atmosphere of friendliness, positive vibes and they have a great selecting of classes plus awesome personal trainers. I train with one of them, Anthony, who is A M A Z I N G! Anthony is committed, dedicated, knowledgeable and knows how far you can push through. He works with your schedule, extremely accommodated, wonderful personality and takes his role in helping you reach your goals very seriously. I cant say enough good things about Tampa Family Center. I found my home and highly recommend this gym for those who are looking for a place to seriously work out and be healthy, without the drama. 💖💖

No joke...The name says it all. Ive heard so many people say, X company treats you like family. In this case, they actually do! Ive never felt this welcome from any gym in the past. The people running it are genuinely concerned for you as an individual. The people ATTENDING it are just as genuine. I look forward to seeing people here. I feel very supported.Im going to this gym to improve my poor health and its been a slow climb, but Im getting there with the encouragement I get from both staff and patrons. My fiancé has serious trouble with his back and hips, but with diligent effort in the stretch class run by Anthony, hes seen significant improvement. Hes also dropped 2 pants sizes since we started going!This gym is CLEAN and they offer small towels as well. Theres a lot of equipment, much of which Im not familiar with yet. Any of the staff are happy to help you learn how to use it correctly and can give pointers as to what to use to target certain areas. Special thanks to both Eddies for all the help teaching us.The main focus here is YOU and the staff makes sure you feel like youre at home. Thank you!

Hi: I joined this gym Family two months ago and I love this gym! The inside air is always cool, the energy is always calm and I am excited to get up every morning to come here to work out. I wake up everyday excited to ride my bike here and Get It Done. The machines are always clean and the atmosphere is safe (for women) and peaceful. There is no chatter in this gym...everyone is focused! Ive managed to loose 23 pounds coming to this gym 5 to 7 days a week for the past two months. Thank you Tampa Family Fitness. You are allowing me to reach my personal goals.

People were initially friendly and helpful but dont try to cancel. They make you jump through hoops and payout for future time youll never use. Seems simple enough you need to leave, pay for time using there facility, need to leave thanks for joining and good luck. Well thats not how it is apparently. Good luck to any future people that get moved for family emergencies and get this terrible business treatment.!!

My wife and I have been members to this gym since 2011. Since it has changed over to Tampa Family Fitness this place has changed from good to really really great! The new owners really care about this place and it shows. My 10 year anniversary of marriage is coming up this August so I have been going to this gym alot since January 2018. This place was always good but now it is incredible. This gym has a much better great vibe. You can tell that they really care. Tonight my wife was able to workout for the first time in a long time and she was extremely impressed by the changes this place has undergone. After visiting the locker room she was blown away. Very clean and many amenities have been added that were not present before. She informed me that the womans locker room was extremely clean and included very tasteful decor. Beyond the cleanliness she said they have very nice soaps included and also a curling iron and hair dryer. Very impressive! Personally I have noticed that the owners clean the equipment regularly and there are always towels and spray bottles accessible to clean the equipment after you are finished. Thank you for making all the extra effort Tampa Family Fitness!

They really care about making their members happy.

This gym used to be a Caltas 24/7 Fitness. The new owners care much more about cleanliness of the gym and actually care about equipment being fully functional (as opposed to prior owners). There are machines for just about every exercise you can imagine, plenty of loose weights and dumbbells, plenty of benches, multiple squat racks, and plenty of cardio machines for everyone. It is a much more pleasant experience than ever before to work out here.In addition: there is a crew of good trainers available and regular spin, stretch, and kickboxing classes hosted here.

I’ve tried every popular gym chain out there, but have never felt more motivated to continue my fitness journey than when I joined Tampa family fitness. Sara and Kathy’s spin classes are great!! Boot camp with Kathy was the best workout I’ve ever had. Cardio kickboxing with Ace will literally kick your butt. Every member of this gym is super nice and willing to help. I love the 24/7 access and amount of equipment. I look forward to my workouts at TFF, I’d recommend to anyone looking for a friendly, helpful environment. Beginners and advanced, this gym is for EVERYONE. Thank you Sara and Eddy!!

Wow! Tampa Family Fitness has seriously changed my life! This is not only a gym but also a life changer. You will meet the most amazing trainers and patrons. One of the trainers videotapes his crew to show the progress others always doing before and after shots. Also, the challenges and classes are so amazing. You will meet new friends to hold each other accountable and it is so much fun! These classes are a hit! They have boot camps, boxing, spinning, HITT, Zumba, yoga, cardio. Omgee the list goes on!!! They really push you, but also acknowledge your pace. They are here to get you that dream bod and/or healthy lifestyle we all need!! If you really want to change your lifestyle and put a positive spin into it - please give them a try! The crew is so motivational and extremely helpful and nice. It is family run by the most kind and helpful couple. I honestly can not wait to go to the gym everyday - I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! 😍

I have never wrote a review before, but felt absolutely prompted to review my experience with this gym. I came to this facility, like many people, eager to join due to their competitive low monthly fee and gym size. However, I was met with the most UNPROFESSIONAL service I have EVER experienced in an establishment. I have nothing personally against anyone employed by this establishment, but the manager of the gym is not very professional. I was charged an unexpected fee to my account. So, I called up to the center, spoke to the manager who then went on a rant insulting me because I did not expect the fee they charged to my account. Very emotional and unprofessional for someone who is supposed to be managing the place. I was displeased. Upon releasing my membership/affiliation with this establishment, I paid off my remaining balance. Per usual, a customer EXPECTS a receipt. So, the manager wrote paid and the amount on a sticky note handed it to me. A STICKY NOTE!?!! I was insulted. And, theres no wonder he wrote it on a sticky note because, the next month, I WAS CHARGED AGAIN, even though I had paid them off. I should have known that something was fishy about this place when every time I walk in, there are no more than 5 people working out. They dont get much business, and for GOOD reason. I wrote this review as a warning to others like me who simply want good service and professionalism from an establishment providing service. But, I must remember, you certainly get what you pay for!

Review №55

Poorly operated and maintained gym. I was a member for about a year, when I switched gyms. Originally chose this gym because of its location but trust me, it’s worth the extra few minute drive. It’s fairly standard gym with some cardio equipment and mostly free weights. A good amount of the equipment is poorly maintained, broken, or rusted. But honestly it’s the customer service and management that caused me to write this poor review. There’s an annual $40 “maintenance fee” that they wait until the last part of signing up to tell you about. They also fail to mention that if you would like to cancel your membership, you have to pay for two more months before it goes through. EVEN THEN (as I did), they may continue to charge you because the employees don’t really know what they’re doing. If you ask the manager to try and fix something (such as an improperly canceled membership), he says he can’t. All around, a skeevy way of running a business and you’d be much better off putting your trust and money in another establishment.

I tried for months to get my access card turned on. Every time I went in, the staff would tell me the owner is the only one that can turn it on. Like this is a complex task. Apparently the staff members are just too stupid to do a simple task like making an access card work. After a couple of months, I gave up.

Review №61

This is an awful, awful place. Most of the equipment is rusted or broken, the staff is comprised of smug, lazy, muscle-heads who arent authorized to do much of anything. The environment makes me feel like I am going to be shot or stabbed at any moment.I tried to cancel my account back February but the greasy-haired counter jockey refused saying that he couldnt authorize it and that I would have to come back during a week day when the owner/manager was there. This was impossible because I work from 9 to 5 and my commute is an hour away. The only way I could have come in at that time would have been if I had skipped work for a morning.It was not until after I had gotten severely injured in March that they actually let me out of my membership. I went into the gym with second degree burns all over my face and arms and asked them to cancel my membership. The guy agreed, offered me some sympathy, and did some stuff on his computer which I thought would finish the matter. As a precaution, I told my bank to no longer accept any charges from the third party billing company the gym uses to collect every month. Now, some four months later, I just received a notice from a place called National Acceptance Company saying that I owe $61.40 because my account with Caltas is seriously delinquent. Last I checked, that account was cancelled.Dont go to Caltas Youfit is a much better gym with much friendlier people. It is cleaner, has a safer enviornment, and it costs the same for monthly membership.
