Im here on vacation from Virginia and was looking for places to practice yoga. My first experience was with a swanky, beautiful modern studio where I took a hot yoga clasa. I am grateful for the experience and workout but left feeling more like it was a competition among the students. There was no community, no welcome from the teacher, no greetings from the other students. It seemed more about the almighty dollar. Where was the true meaning of yoga? So I decided to try The Gym and Im so glad I did. Its small, its not modern or new, but you are welcome and the teacher, Kelly was amazing as well as her friendly regular class attendees who took the time to introduce themselves to me before class. The front desk staff was incredible and helpful too. Kellys cues were on point and my body and mind got an amazing workout. Thank you so much! If you want to really practice yoga, just go here if youre in Ft. Lauderdale!!!

I sent written correspondence canceling my membership. This was after probably a year of not using the gym because I moved to a different neighborhood. Of course, as you might expect, they continued to bill me. I didnt realize it until months later. Because it was set up on auto bill, AMEX advised that the only way to stop the payments was to close that credit card. I closed the credit card. What happens next? The Gyms finance arm, ABC Financial, starts sending me emails, calling me on the phone and threatening to send me to collections. This is beyond absurd. This establishment is owned and run by some scummy people who are probably broke, have no scruples and will do anything to make a quick buck. Its a mediocre gym with mediocre equipment and parking issues. I might ordinarily give it 2.5 stars. But after this nonsense? No way.

Love this place. Randy the owner is a great guy, the roof top gym over looking fort lauderdale beachm the intercaostal, and a great view of the city of Fort Lauderdale Skyline has got to be one of the coolest places Ive ever cranked out a workout. If you go in...tell him Ebay Jake sent you. (Also, I read these other review....as with any Gym, you need to give a 1 month notice to quit....Im sure if you just stop going they are going to charge you....any grown up would know that)

Visited Nov, 2016. A great gym, primarily because it has a rooftop free weight area that allows you to work out while looking at the ocean. They offer a variety of day passes, two day passes, etc. I believe we got a two day pass for $30, although I dont remember the exact amount. The locker room was a bit small, and while it wasnt crowded while we were there, I imagine it could be an issue at peak times. But its a fantastic alternative to hotel gyms

I had the same experience as hoplite1766. I cancelled my membership and without my knowledge they continued to bill me. One year later I get a letter from a collection agency. My advice is stay far away from this place. This kind of business practice needs to be brought to the attention of the media, and possibly a class action law suit filed. Im sure we arent the only two people that they did this to. Just the only two that posted it online.

The 5am open is great for early birds. Great way to get the vacation days started. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The yoga class was led by great instructor. The machines were well maintained and the space was organized. Great price for the weekly pass and centrally located in the beach front area. I will definitely return on my next visit. No pretense or glitz. Thank you The Gym.

This training made me literally fall in love again with training. As a professional athlete, Ive considered working out more like a job than something I was passionate about, but training at The Gym was so enjoyable that it made me reconnect with my long lost joy of training. The equipment is amazing, staff is great and the location is just perfect.

Great gym, been a member for about a year and its always nice. My only gripe is that the parking lot gets really full just because of its location it tends to get full by vacationers. Not the gyms fault by any stretch of the means. Still its a great gym, staff is nice and courteous, really no complaints about the place

You cant beat the view on the rooftop over looking the ocean. This place is one the best ways to start my day and all the updated nice equpiment is inside downstairs. The staff is seriously so awesome and nice with smiles on their faces! So glad I joined this gym .

BEWARE! Was on a month to month cash payment basis, no Contracts. No pay, no train. Despite the agreement found out I was being charged for a year in my absence! I Got a letter from a debt collection service for over $400.00, watch these guys. NOT to be trusted!

Equipment is ok. Staff is not helpful, and act like they cant be bothered. Walked to the front desk one day and all three employees were out on the floor sitting down staring at me. But even when theyre actually behind the desk their attitudes are about the same.

As a rain bird from over the pond. I join this gym when in town on weekly or monthly memberships. Its not the cheapest but how many gyms overlook the sea! It is a gym. Not any frills. Rooftop workout area too. Very friendly staff and clean.

Great gym rooftop gym is amazing. Only issue is that some of the equipment on rooftop gym is rusted. I like it but some people have an issue with it.

A quiet little gym that lets you get lost in your workouts. Could use a few more cardio machines but overall an awesome place to workout.

"The Gym" is awesome for weight lifting with a great view. I enjoy it every day I can when I am in Florida!
