If you’ve been looking for a perfect gym, this is the place. Enormous facility with all the specialized equipment you can dream of. Ski machines, rowers, tire flips, assault treadmills, bikes, every machine, weight and slam ball/wall ball under the sun. The gym is spotlessly clean. You can do personal training and small group training along with boot camp classes offered at multiple times throughout the day, every day of the week. A diverse group of trainers give you a different class and experience every time. Unlimited boot camp is included with small group and personal training and the price really can’t be beat. Owned by a husband/wife team, Mike and Letitia. Mike is a veteran Marine so be prepared for an intense class when he is instructing! Give this place a try. Great place to work out and you’ll quickly feel like family with the employees and other people there.

Where do I start....I LOVE THIS PLACE!! I come from a dance studio and knew nothing about gyms or boot camps. The staff was so super helpful and patient. You dont have to be already in shape or even know what youre doing to come here. The staff and your partners all support and cheer each other on. Ive made so many amazing friends along the way. Over 2 years later, I couldnt imagine working out anywhere else. They are clean (super important) and keep up with all their equipment. Always new fun stuff to try. Every trainer is so knowledgeable, I have really gone through a full lifestyle change since I started at True Grit. They guide you with your diet and help you work through any physical issues. Today Im stronger, leaner, more tone, and overall feel so much better. Working with a personal trainer is the best decision I ever made!! Thanks Leticia!! And changing your diet is really the game changer. They help you with all of it!! Love you guys more than you know. XXO Yvette

I dont want to work out anywhere else. Ive been back at TGF for six months, after a three year hiatus. The best part of coming back was all the familiar faces. The workouts are on point and no two are the same. The trainers motivate you and challenge you to step up your game. The facility is clean and the equipment is in perfect condition. I always leave feeling like I had an incredible workout.

I have been a part of the True Grit Family for a little over 3 years now and absolutely love it. The staff is very professional and they have some of the best trainers you can find. The workouts are always different every day so you will constantly target different muscle groups. I am in the best shape I have ever been in since college and I would highly recommend everyone to try it.

True Grit Fit is a hidden gem and 1st Class Outfit! Each day is filled with varied exercises coached by friendly, supportive trainers with no judgement. Whatever your fitness level you actually look forward to the challenge. A very welcoming and accommodating establishment. I highly recommend to anyone wanting to start their fitness journey.

I’ve been a member over 4 years now and I think these years speak for themselves. Owners and trainers are passionate about fitness and it shows with every single work out. Exercises are different each session and can be challenging but the awesome staff is always there to help. I’m 45 and in better shape then I was in my 20’s.

This is one of the best gyms I’ve been to… and I’ve been to a lot of gyms in my past. The workouts I get are incredible and really gets my day started. I’m a personal fan of the kickstart program. I’ve been seeing amazing results and the boot camp really makes you sweat out the weekend. I’d recommend to just about anyone.

True Grit is an amazing Boot Camp / High intensity workout! Classes are never over booked and the gym is huge! You always have you personal space to warm up, workout, and cool down. The trainers walk through each workout and movement and give pointers as you go though the class. I went to Orange Theory for years and I have recently been tracking my “splat points” at True Grit. I am getting more splats with less cardio and more free weights at TGF. I highly recommend True Grit. Give it a go at a free workout and you do not need to buy any equipment to start :)

TGF is the best!! All the trainers are so knowledgeable and give one-on-one attention even in larger bootcamp classes. The facility is super clean and they are always buying new equipment. The workouts are NEVER the same and I’m SUPER excited to try the new yoga class!!-Bridget R.

Ive been going to True Grit Fit for 7 months now and signed up for the Kick Start program with Eric, who was amazing. I highly recommend Eric to anyone looking for a trainer who will keep you accountable. Eric builds challenging 45 min workouts that get you results. As a bonus, he is always flexible and understanding when it comes to scheduling. Stop wasting your time and sign up.

I have been attending Boot Camp classes at True Grit Fit for over a year now. I have tried many fitness facilities all around South Tampa and I wouldn’t trade my TGF membership for anything. Unlike other fitness locations you aren’t jammed in a small room with a bunch of sweaty people. Instead at TGF you have your space. TGF also has so much diverse equipment so every class feels different. You never get bored at True Grit Fit. The monthly membership option allows for so much flexibility. You never have to get nervous about having to fight your way into every class or worry if you have to cancel. Finally, the fitness instructors are the perfect mix of fun, challenging and helpful. You will enjoy every class. Two big thumbs (and biceps) up!

I have been going here almost 5 years now and I love this gym, their staff, and community! The managers and trainers are all SO great and each bring their own edge to the workout that they lead. Each boot camp workout is challenging and different— so I never get bored. Also, this is THE cleanest gym I have ever been to and they just remodeled (with brand new equipment too!) and it looks great! I also love how there are so many class times available... so I really don’t have an excuse to miss a workout! 20/10 would recommend!

Ive been a member for several years at True Grit Fit and that says a lot considering I have been in a gym setting for the past 30 years. As far as the workouts, I couldnt be more pleased as they are always very different, challenging, and very well thought out by the trainer. The facility is very well maintained. The equipment is fantastic and the staff is, by far, the best in the business. I appreciate all of the efforts made by the entire True Grit Fit Team as to the efforts put forth for every workout and assistance to individuals, if needed. I would highly recommend True Grit Fit if you enjoy a highly motivated, results driven workout.

Joining True Grit Fit was one of the best decisions I have ever made after moving to Tampa. Mike and Leticia are not your average gym owners and every staff members reflects that. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly, from all walks of life. The facilities are clean, the equipment is top notch, and the workouts are the right amount of killer. I encourage anyone who is looking to make a life style change join True Grit.

I highly recommend this gym.A friend of mine recommended them to me, and I’m doing you all the favor of passing on the recommendation. My friend has been going here for awhile and has a lot of experience with bootcamp style workouts, and fitness in general.I don’t. I’m an amateur, easily intimidated by gym equipment, I’m clumsy, and... er... not graceful. We both love this place and have seen and felt great results.I’ve been to classes with each trainer, and all of them have created engaging and challenging workouts, they pay attention to the class and have noticed when I need help and guidance (most of the time before I even do :p), they’re people, family, and fitness oriented.I started going in January 2021. For those of you who are motivated by numbers:Female, 39 y/o, Height 4’11”January 2021 stats: Weight 158.2lbs, BMI 31.1, Body Fat 38.1%, Neck 14”, Shoulders 43”, Bust 41”, Waist 33”, Lower Abs 39”, Hips 42”, Biceps 12”, Thighs 24”, Waist-Hip ratio 0.82May 2021 stats: Weight 145lbs, BMI 28.5, Body Fat 34%, Neck 13”, Shoulders 40”, Bust 37”, Waist 29”, Lower Abs 37”, Hips 38”, Biceps 11.5”, Thighs 22”, Waist-Hip ratio 0.77I’ve lost just over 13lbs, but more importantly, I’ve lost 23 inches!I’m starting the kickstart personal training program and 8 week Mission Slimpossible challenge that begins June 2021.

I highly recommend True Grit for an awesome workout. Love the early morning class times offered, easily able to get in and out while getting a challenging and productive workout. Trainers push you when you need it, while respecting individual fitness levels. I first joined 5 years ago and continue to enjoy every class.

I have been a member of True Grit Fitness for almost 4 years now! As a former division 1 athlete these workouts continue to push me each and everyday! I love the family atmosphere, the quality coaches, and the wide selection of class times! Mike, Letitia, and the rest of the staff always greet you with a warm welcome and push you beyond your limits! If your looking for a gym that fits all fitness levels, THIS IS IT! Do yourself a favor and give it a go, I promise you won’t regret it!

I love working out at True Grit!!! I started in 2014 and haven’t done the same workout since. The trainers are super knowledgable and personable and I love that anyone is welcome, regardless of their level of fitness. I recently injured my ankle. In each of the classes I have taken since trainers have helped me with modifications that allow me to stay active while my injury heals. Give this place a shot, you won’t be disappointed!

I’ve been going to this gym for the past 4 years and I’m proud be part of our “fit fam”! The owners and trainers really care about their members. They found a way to create a culture that encourages everyone to work hard, have fun, and motivate each other. I really enjoy the variety of the workouts and all of the available class times.

Phenomenal atmosphere. Every day a different and challenging workout. Clean and socially distant in a huge facility with top-notch equipment. Many gyms may check one or more of these boxes, but TGF checks them all. Plus, Mike, Letitia, and all the staff put personality and a team mentality above everything else. Even head trainer Eric Bill, though you should always be skeptical of anyone with whose last name is a first name. I’ve been a member for 18+ months, come check TGF out.

TGF has the best workouts, trainers and equipment in Tampa! I’ve been a member for 18 months and I’ve had a complete transformation in my body and lifestyle.

Mike and Letitia have done a great job with TruGrit Fit and care about their members. They have created a workout environment that provides classes that are never repetitive with motivating staff, positive vibes and energy, and the facility is kept very clean.

Checked out True Grit Fit with a friend after they re-opened post COVID shutdown and have been hooked since. Theres a different workout everyday of the week, and the trainers compliment the ownership well. Jumped in as a Kickstart client with Eric Bill for a few months as well and was very satisfied with the progress.The daily bootcamp classes are fun and upbeat, with a little competition and push, all while being spread out, and safe.The ownership and trainers go out of their way to make sure everything is cleaned between stations and classes.

Ive been attending TGF for just about a year now and I can definitely say this is one of the best gyms in the Tampa area. I am a former collegiate athlete and prior to TGF I was doing my own workouts out another gym. I found myself getting into the same routine over and over, and found myself coming to a plateau in terms of my fitness. True Grit has brought me back to my collegiate self. They are upbeat, challenging and adaptable to all ages and body types/injuries. I also work with Shane on the side and can say I am the strongest and fittest that I have ever been due to the workouts he creates for me. Try this place for one class and you will become a member right away. Thank you so much TGF!

I’ve been a member of True Grit for over 3 years now and love it! You’ll never do the same workout twice! Mike and Letitia do a great job and have the best equipment and coaches. True Grit has gone above and beyond during the coronavirus times. All the equipment is cleaned after each use and the gym is big enough to allow for social distancing. They even lent out equipment and provided virtual online bootcamps during the lockdown. Give True Grit a try..you won’t be disappointed!

Review №43

I’ve been eying TGF for about 2 years now... yes, the thought of a “bootcamp” type workout is what I knew I needed/wanted to “go to the next level” if you will, but I was scared. Scared of failing, being left behind and possibly not having someone care enough. This said, I finally signed up and from the first day I felt welcome. I was shy at first, but honestly no one really cares what you do and how you do it (referring to the other members) because there’s just no time to “sit around” lol. The coaches I’ve seen so far, have been very helpful and make sure to explain things thoroughly. They make sure to look at everyone to ensure safety and proper posture as well as pushing you to go beyond what you think you’re capable of. the place is clean and full of so much energy that even when you’re tired and feel like quitting, you see that everyone around you is struggling along side you. The equipment is great and well kept. Overall I’m loving it and I can see myself staying with TGF for a while.

I have worked out at TGF for the last 5 years. This year in January my fiance and I started Kickstart with Eric Bill to look our best for our wedding in november. We just got married last weekend and I cannot thank Eric enough. We both have gotten stronger, leaner and fitter. We love working with Eric and seeing the progress we have made. If you want to see real results, you need to see Eric. Its no secrete that TGF has always been the cleanest gym around and we feel completely comfortable in their facility.

I wake up early every morning excited to go workout at True Grit Fit! This gym goes above and beyond, has extremely personable trainers and staff, and challenges me to push myself each day during the Bootcamp classes! Throughout quarantine, TGF lent us equipment and posted videos online to keep their members motivated and engaged. Everyday is a new workout with a different trainer that provides new challenges. This gym has truly helped me improve my fitness and health. I have been a member for a year and have truly loved every minute! I am looking forward to continuing to grow in my health and fitness with TGF!

I was a crossfitter for 6 years, so I was hesitant to try something new. However, I realized that with crossfit I wasnt seeing the physical results I desired and my significant other persuaded me to try TGF. It was the best decision and I havent looked back! The trainers are all awesome, fun and motivating. The facility is immaculate and their equipment is state of the art. I love the diversity of the workouts and I feel like I get my butt kicked every day. Im happy with the results Im seeing and would recommend TGF to anyone that wants to either get fit or stay fit.

True Grit Fit defiantly stays true to its name. I dont usually do reviews but for these gentleman I have to. My significant other told me about the boot-camp. The group-on price was phenomenal considering what you get for it. The facility is well kept and up to date w/ all equipment. Everyday is something different as well as new members; which makes for great synergy. The trainers are excellent and kept me motivated and inspired me throughout all sections to complete each one. This is probably by far the only boot-camp that takes me back to BCT in the Army. Even though my stay was short I re-gained the mental and physical strength I need to persevere in fitness. I also sweated away a couple of lbs for sure. I could honestly say if I ever reside in FL this would be my home gym no matter the cost. As a member you defiantly see results as long as you put in the grit and sweat. - SPARTAN.

I was in the military for six years, and TGF has provided me the best workouts Ive gotten since boot camp. Ive been a traditional gym guy over the past 10-15 years (one muscle group per day with a 2-3 mile run) and probably plateaued long ago. Joining TGF has jump-started my fitness level and is probably the best health decision Ive made in a while. The trainers are all tremendously helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. Great experience all around.

Review №54

I have been doing kickstart and working with one of the trainers, Abby for just a few months now and I have to say she’s been amazing! She’s done everything from helping me with my diet, pushing me to lift a lot heavier, and fixing my form with just about every exercise! She’s so detail oriented that she totally fixed my squats by making literally a 1 inch adjustment with my foot placement! I’m amazed that she can watch me for a few reps and automatically sees something very minor I’m doing that makes a huge impact! I thought I was just very weak when it came to my squats however, her minor adjustments actually showed me I just had jacked up form and I’m actually stronger than I thought lol.. I think her knowledge of physical therapy, lifting, and nutrition make her a, “1 stop shop” so to speak when it comes to a trainer! I couldn’t be happier with her and would recommend her to anyone beginner or advanced! Thank you Abby for helping me though so many milestones in my own progress! I appreciate you and all your hard work with me!

BEST GYM!!!!!! Have been going about two years. The trainers are knowledgeable, the classes are always different, the facility is clean, and it’s not a pretentious “have to wear full on hair and makeup” kind of place. You go so that you can sweat and have a great workout. I have been working out at several different places for the past fifteen years (due to moving around a lot before settling in Tampa) and this is my home. My husband and I both go, so it’s for guys AND gals FOR SURE! Mike, Letitia, Austin, Mal, Eric, and BJ: thank you!!!

Why True Grit Fit? Because you get the comfort, cleanliness, and commercial grade equipment of a global gym with the community and personalized attention of a smaller gym. First walking in, you’d be certain you were walking into a typical “big box” gym, but you soon realize the personalization which is brought to you by this family owned and operated company. The trainers bring high energy and detailed attention to every class! To give context to the passion the owners have for SERVING their members, I’ve seen them arrive every morning hours before opening to setup the equipment for the workouts of the day; resetting equipment after every class. AND they fully clean the facility after the last members have left to ensure hygiene and appearance. The small attention to detail, which really goes unnoticed, serves to allow members to fully focus their time and energy on their fitness. Thank you TGF for serving your members and community!!!

Being 9 years removed from a daily DI college athletic routine, finding the motivation and drive to continue to stay fit was difficult for my husband and I. We had joined different gyms in hopes to find something that we would look forward to, and give us goals to stay in shape. We got stuck in rut and were not seeing any physical or mental changes. We did some research and came across True Grit Fit. We liked the idea of having workouts similar to what we were both used to in college as well as having someone to push us each day. Additionally, we appreciate the group fitness piece of having people get together each day because it holds us accountable to show up.A few months after joining the gym, Mike and Letitia began implementing a run club. We thought it would be fun to do in addition to the boot camps and lifting, especially since that’s the type of training we were used to. Over the last couple of weeks, we have really noticed the benefits of doing the boot camps and running. We feel as though we have made substantial gains in our fitness. I have been able to maintain a healthy weight while toning and my husband has been able to lose weight and gain muscle. Mallory comes up with some challenging runs but always brings a crazy amount of positive energy that helps keep us all going. She makes the runs fun by incorporating different activities like lunges, push ups and stairs. Each month the distance starts lower and works its way up over the course of the 4 weeks. It is rewarding to see how you can go further and further each week. We are grateful for being part of a gym like TGF!

I’ve been working with Eric in Kick Start for the past 6 months. My progress was very slow to start - I struggled to balance a work schedule that had me traveling every weekend in addition to the 9-5 and the challenges of making smart decisions while out with friends. My progress was stagnant for a long time and Eric was patient when I needed it while also holding me accountable and not afraid to have tough conversations with me about my goals. Recently I’ve seen quick results and a lot of progress towards my fitness goals. What I’m learning from Eric has stuck with me outside of the gym and that’s making all the difference in my progress. Eric and True Grit Fit have become a part of my daily routine and something I wake up looking forward to each day - and I’m so thankful for that!-Alyssa Grogan

Left my wallet and purse at home as I usually do when I go to the gym and this gym would not loan a $2 towel. Firstly, I’ve never been to a gym or facilities that charge you for towels. They made no considerations for my circumstances, I could have stopped by later and paid or have been charged later and not have to miss the class but instead they turned me away at 5:45am for not having a towel. I willmost certainly not be returning and suggest you avoid this place.

TGF is a gym that stands a part, not only because they consistently have high intensity work outs, that change daily, but because the instructors truly want to see their clients improve, and meet their fitness goals. I have been going to TGF for 2 years, but it wasn’t until I started Kick Start with Eric that I was really able to take things to the next level. Eric always plays it tough, but sincerely cares about his clients and helping them meet their goals (GO Orange). Since January 2019 I’ve lost over 25 lbs. and have embraced a healthier life style. I’m so grateful for this gym, and the supportive community it’s created!

Exceptional facility brought to light by Jeff, a highly skilled and enthusiastic coach who lead the way with his custom-tailored fitness routine that felt more like personal training than group training.

You will not find a better workout in Tampa Bay and the trainers and owners are some of the most wonderful people youll ever meet! Mike and Letitia are not only committed to a killer workout but they are committed to giving back to the communities they serve. They have hosted so many fundraisers at their facilities supporting such amazing causes like The Special Olympics, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Susan G Komen and so many more! When I found this gym I found a family and I invite you to stop in and give it a try too! You will not regret it!P.S. Mike used to be a marine so if you have read a review that says the workouts arent hard they clearly werent doing what they were shown or have some strange nerve issue that doesnt allow them to feel pain.

Mat, Shane and Sara are great. But Mike (the owner) is very rude and unpleasant. I was booking my classes with ClassPass and after two classes he said I did not have more credits which I had, and he removed me in middle of the class. I referred two coworkers and they had a horrible experience with him as well. The workouts are awesome. But I think ownership needs to improve customer service.

Great workouts at this studio! I’ve had trainers Steve, Mallory, and Rebecca, and they’re all very motivating and positive! The workouts will seem simple at first, but as you progress through, you will definitely feel your body working hard. They are available on class pass, which is how I found them, but their monthly membership is also fairly affordable! $36 for the first month! Try them out on classpass if you’re hesitant to commit!

My wife and I dropped into True Grit Fit for a few days while travelling in Tampa, and had the best experience. Each day, we had challenging and fun workouts, and were immediately accepted by the owners and other class members. I highly recommend this gym/program to anyone travelling or living in the Tampa area!

This is by far the best gym that I have ever been a part of. You dont only join this gym, you become part of their family. There is motivation and pride at this gym. Not only do you achieve results, you gain confidence. Put in the work and youll get the results you desire.

Best workouts Ive ever had! Their bootcamp classes are no joke and a great calorie burner while interacting with their awesome members! Youll never do the same workout twice thanks to the amazing trainers! Mike & Leticia, thanks for creating/owning a great gym and for all that you do for the community as well!

After college, I found myself struggling to find the motivation and self-discipline to go to the gym. Luckily, I decided to take a class at TGF and am so happy I did. The environment is extremely welcoming, motivating, and addictive. The trainers develop creative ways to push your body to the limit each and every session. They treat everyone with respect, and are focused on helping you achieve YOUR personal goals. Since joining TGF, I have noticed an improvement in my strength and endurance. I have also grown to love group training and the boot camp style classes as it has been a great way to meet people, hold one another accountable, and have fun while doing it. Whether you are someone who is looking to give working out/fitness a try for the first time, or a seasoned athlete, this gym is where its at!

Solid work out! Mike and his team are great trainers and keep the workouts different each day so you do not get tired of the same routine and makes it more challenging! Love this place. Its my second home.

Been going here for about 2 years...3-4x a week...and my wife and I absolutely love it. Its the rare gym that has something for everyone: weight loss, strength building, recovery, womens classes, and even Special Olympics athletes training.Most importantly: its safe. Safe for both genders, anyone from anywhere, those with disabilities, and military backgrounds. I adore all their trainers, who bring something unique to each lass.Finally, this is the only gym Ive ever seen that WANTS its members to come in, get healthier, and feel good about themselves. They will literally hound you to stay on target, are open over holidays, and run endless free special events. Its no surprise they just opened a second location up in Carrollwood.I updated this review to reflect how thrilled I remain with this gym a year after prior review. Im 40 plus not the most social guy, but legitimately made friends here...people who support my goals...and are of like healthy lifestyle mind. Just note it does NOT have AC at this location. Be hydrated, toweled, and prepared.

I joined Tampa Fitness Boot Camp January 2017 and love it. Letitia, Mike, Eric, BJ, and Chance are all awesome trainers and know their stuff. I go for health reasons and this is the best and most fit I have been in my life thanks to True Grit Fit. I have been a member of several gyms and is this by far the best. I highly recommend Tampa Fitness Boot Camp.

Best workout ever. No matter what your level of fitness, there is something for everyone. Other then the awesome staff, the best part about True Grit is the fact that you will never do the same workout twice.

Mike, Letita, and team do an incredible job of making you feel welcomed and assisting you in achieving your goals. They are continually upgrading the equipment and making the workout fun and challenging. The workouts can focus on weight loss, strength, or speed depending on your individual goals. I still have not repeated the same workout in over a year of being a member. The environment is non threating and I have made some great life long friends.

4 years at TGF, and its still a workout I look forward to. The trainers are top notch. The atmosphere really is like family. Bootcamps never get old since you almost never repeat an exercise. This is the only gym Ive found that makes it easy to stick with a healthier lifestyle.

For so long I struggled to find my niche in the work out world until I found, True Grit Fit. This gym offers the type of workouts where you feel like your entire body breathes. Its a variety of exercises that requires use of all your muscles and no day is ever the same. They push you to the limit and challenge you everyday to reach your potential. Im addicted !!True Grit Fit not only provides the best workout in town but they also have the best trainers - Mike, Letitia, Bj & Eric! All of them are so passionate about what they do that it transcends into their training. They are there to ensure you have the best workout experience possible. And if you happen to forget your shoes, they lend you their own.. I mean come on you wont see that in your average gym !! There is a true sense of community at TGF - and everyone you meet there is so incredibly welcoming and nice. You really feel like youre part of a team!!! I HIGHLY recommend giving this gym a try .. because the only risk is never wanting to leave.

Love this place and cannot say enough good things! I had taken an 8 month break from the gym when my wife gave birth and started here at True Grit in July 2015. I came in very out of shape, but attended their Bootcamp classes every day and within the first month I was already seeing amazing results! I am currently going through their Ignition program (which I won for free!), and it is awesome as well! I am noticing improvements every week. The staff here are all so vastly knowledgeable and friendly. Do not be discouraged at all, please. I believe the best thing here is that the workouts welcome people at ALL levels! Everyone works out at their own pace and the trainers are consistently providing constructive feedback and guidance on proper techniques and form. The workouts are ALWAYS different, so it never gets boring. The energy and positive vibes here just starts my day off right. It is not just the staff though, everyone here is very encouraging. Making the decision to join TGF was the best thing I’ve done for my health and well-being. Give it a try and you won’t regret it!

True Grit Fit is great! My friend and I got class pass to try out different classes because we easily get bored, but we loved TGF so much, we were hooked after the first workout. The classes are never the same and the staff is amazing!
