During a trip from Boston I dropped into a class at Crossfit Apogee and felt right at home! Before,…read morethey answered my email quickly and got me signed up for class. During, I felt very welcomed by the community as both the coach and the owner greeted me and took time to talk with me and get to know me. They had a great workout programmed and their facility is large and well set-up. Also I could tell they emphasized instruction and making sure everyone is set up with the right scale to their ability. I will definitely be returning whenever I am in the area visiting family!

My BF registered for the Open 2022. He was going to drop into this particular box to get his first…read moreOpen workout in and scored. We were refused by Rich (the owner). Saying he "can't just take drop ins on a whim". And the only way he'd let my boyfriend do his Open WOD there is if we joined the box. What?? What's the point of having CrossFit drop ins then? Most all drop ins are on a whim. What if it was Matt Fraser dropping in for the Open? Would he refuse him to or try to make him join? Along with that, his whole tone was very rude. "So are you going to join the box or what?" were his exact words. That was terrible business. Before that we were considering joining this Box but after the way we were treated there, it is a big NO. I would've given 1 star but Alex, one of the coaches was very nice to let us drop in prior to this incident and is a good coach and super nice.

I haven't been to an orangetheory gym I didn't like, but this gym has lived up to my expectations…read more I just moved to the area during COVID so I do miss the coaches and members at my home studio, especially since it's a little hard to be social in the studios now but this studio does have the new tablets on the rowers which tracks your rower stats to your app (my favorite part) which is awesome if you like to track your progress as much as I do! The coaches are pretty great and they are doing a great job with cleanliness and social distancing during the pandemic.

A studio that just shows how far the entire OTF brand has fallen. The studio has great SA's and…read morecoaches but they care more about the money and company than their members and their fitness. Examples: -Last year I asked to move my class from one open class to another because my sister went into labor and they said they couldn't waive the $12 late cancel fee (due to company policy) -This morning I was :15 seconds over the time where you can be late to class and I was not let in (due to company policy) -That same sister who went into labor didn't feel like the workout was safe to do through her her pregnancy (due to drs orders) and tried to cancel and was charged for two months she couldn't use. She understood and asked if she could have her husband or father use those 2 months since again, her fitness level wasn't enough high enough to safely do HIIT while pregnant - they said no (due to company policy). They still call her every week to get her to rejoin. If you're looking for a great workout - it's hard to not to love OTF, but seriously weigh other options and read the Reddit before joining.

Okay, I am addicted to this gym. Hands down best Pilates in town and an amazing variety of classes…read more They have group classes consisting of weight training, tabata cardio, mind and body and cycling. The gym is located on 2nd. story of a business plaza and it's beautiful. You walk in to a reception area with a shiny concrete floors and it opens up to a work out room for most of their classes. I love the variety of equipment. They have kettle bells, dumb bells, bands, HIT and more. Like lots more! They have a separate room for cycling with super comfy bikes and a large pilates room. The instructors are very hands on and very encouraging. Tammi; the pilates instructor is very knowledgeable and really takes the time to correct your moves and encourage. The reformers are very comfortable. The only draw back is there is only 6. So, grab a class early. Classes are by reservation online. You book it a few days before and the accountability start right there. So, no missing class. The students are what I call the variety pack. So, if you are worried about not being fit looking don't worry. This is a place that encourages and you have all sizes and strengths. You can be Mr. Buff and have an amazing challenging workout pushing tires around and swinging ropes or you can have a lighter work out modifying to get you there. Very welcoming I would say. The gym is owned by 3 ladies that have been in the fitness industry for decades and you can tell they are passionate about helping others. What I love is all 3 of them teach and are involved. If you have kiddos they have kid care. The only thing I would change is to add sound absorbing tiles to the pilates room so you can focus more on hearing the teacher vs. the music from the other group classes. Since, it's a new place I would think this is a budget issue that will come in the future. However, this doesn't keep me from coming since the class is amazing and I appreciate them so much. I'm looking forward to taking more classes in the fall.

From Siobhan's excellent customer service to Coach Shannon Trozzo's instruction, Orangetheory…read moreFitness is an experience! I took advantage of their free class while in search of a new gym with my friend. The positive energy is palatable. They reserved lockers for us with our names and gave us a run down on what to expect. It was an hour of strength training, climbing hills on the treadmill, and water rowing. I received the in-body composition summary to start and the post workout summary. The complimentary heart monitors we were given were transparent about the effort we put in. (10 bucks to rent as a member though). While I'm not fully committing as I gym hop and weigh all my fitness options, Orangetheory is def at the top!

Danielle has been such an important part of my fitness journey, and I honestly can't thank her…read moreenough. When I first started at OTF, I never would have imagined I'd be running a marathon--let alone going from the couch to completing a full marathon in less than two years. Danielle has a unique ability to push you beyond what you think you're capable of. She's constantly encouraging me to run faster, challenge my limits, and trust the process, even on the days when I doubt myself. Her energy, positivity, and belief in her members make all the difference. What I appreciate most is that she knows exactly when to push and when to encourage. She celebrates every win, big or small, and genuinely cares about helping people achieve their goals. Thanks to her coaching, I've become stronger, faster, and more confident than I ever thought possible. And I have to mention her playlists--they are hands down the best! Somehow she always picks the perfect music to keep the energy high and make those tough pushes feel just a little easier. If you've ever taken one of Danielle's classes, you know she's something special. OTF is lucky to have her, and I'm incredibly grateful for everything she's done to help me reach milestones I once thought were impossible.

I had a very uncomfortable and disappointing experience with this Hotworx location. After…read morepurchasing a workout band from the vending machine, I was accused of stealing and was asked to pull up my bank statements to prove I paid. Even after I showed proof and it was clear I did nothing wrong, no apology was ever given. And even embarrassed me in front of the whole studio. From that point on, the environment completely changed. I was no longer greeted when I came in, and the staff made me feel unwelcome. It got to the point where I felt like I had to come after hours just to avoid interactions, which is not how a paying member should ever feel. On top of that, the workout setup itself is extremely frustrating. You basically can't work out whenever you want because there's only a few classes every few hours, and only three people can sign up per room. Three people in such a tiny sauna is already pushing it, and most of the time classes are full, which makes it feel impossible to actually use the membership you're paying for. $60 for a base membership is ridiculous for what you get and not to mention you can not cancel for free. If you want out it's either $100 or u have to pay and continue for 2 months. It's also worth mentioning that there are overwhelmingly positive reviews because members receive a discount for leaving a good review. I no longer need a discount, so here is the honest truth: this place is not worth it. The workouts are very repetitive, the concept gets old quickly, and the company comes across as very money-hungry rather than focused on member experience. Between being falsely accused, the lack of accountability, the uncomfortable atmosphere, and the impractical class system, this feels more like a scam than a supportive fitness studio. I would not recommend Hotworx to anyone looking for flexibility, fairness, or a welcoming environment.

After the initial shock and anger over events from yesterday and sleeping on it I can say yes I am…read morestill shocked and still angry as hell. Now, with that being said let me say this. Having worked in the corporate world for years I completely understand change and that people are at time let go for any number of reasons, I have seen it first hand. But when a company handles and does things the way that yesterday happened it's just wrong. We have had to beg for equipment, for a water cooler in our gym. One of the co-owner moved to Florida to take care of the Brandon gym I have seen his face at the gym twice since he moved here and that was only when many of us voiced our concerns regarding the broken equipment. Most people don't even know who he is. He does not return calls, texts, emails. He is non-existent even though the owner tells you otherwise. It's easy to "think" things are Bri g taken care of when you love states away. Out of sight out of mind. Our location has had no guidance or leadership from the owners since it opened. It came from the people who worked inside the gym. They shed blood sweat and tears to make sure each person that walked through those doors succeeded. They made the place home and family. To rip them from us for not naming phone calls...seriously?!?! Their job was to train us. Of which they went above and beyond to do. Your business is driven by word of mouth which my mouth has been one of the biggest cheerleaders. Your business is driven by OUR success. Your business is driven by us sharing our stories, our pictures and your advertisements as part of our requirements. You took two individuals who helped us become healthy and went above and beyond to reach out to us to be our cheerleaders when we felt we couldn't do this. Where were you? No where to be found. I have been at the gym for almost a year and have seen first hand that you are only driven by the number of people that attend orientation, at least in the Brandon location. I cant attest to the other areas. I do not say this out of anger but out of facts. Look at all the other locations compared to Brandon. There is no comparison, Brandon is pushed aside. You ripped away two I individuals who eat, sleep and breath fitness and left us with someone that has no experience and no certification. Where is the concern for our safety? I would and will never take away anyone bettering themselves and kudos for that. However your first thought should be your customers. Yes , you are getting another trainer and I wish her the best and I hope that she succeeds and does not find herself in this situation. We the paying customers pay WAY more for Legion than should be necessary. Why?! Because of the trainers. They are the heart and soul. Without them you have nothing. If not for Germaine James and Pedro Alvarez I would have never become a member. I would have completed my challenges and left. Speaking of which we had a conversation in regards to your marketing and ads and how deceiving they are. You really should change the wording. But unfortunately you do not listen to what any of us have to say because again, it's only about the number. I am loyal to a fault and as you have no doubt seen so are so many of our Fitfam. You may have but a bump in the road but we will not be defeated. I have no doubt that Those two will go very far because they have the love and the drive to succeed for the right reasons. The fact that you are requiring astronomical cancellation fees to people is beyond wrong. You left us with a trainer that has 0 experience except being in challengers with the rest of us. You said he has been given guidance from you co-owner...when? How is that possible when he is never there. Shame on you, this whole situation is just wrong. Before I close let me give a huge shout out to the other two faces of the Brandon location. I have watched these two in their own journey and have been so inspired by them. Anne Carré and Amanda Berrios are the face that greets us when we walk through that door. They cheer us on, they guide us they welcome us with a smile. And again they get no support.

This is the place to challenge yourself physically and mentally. I took the 6-week challenge and…read moretreated it as a 5-week challenge (just like it says in the document they provide). I'm almost in the middle of the 6th week and I already evaporated 21 Lbs. & 3.6% Body Fat (BF). Weigh out is this Saturday and I'm sure I will have evaporated more Lbs. & BF. They provide all the exercises, meals plan & coaching. But it's up to you to stick with it. FTDI! (Follow The D@mn Instructions) The mental part is mainly applicable to strengthening your Willpower: you have to drink the recommended amount of water, you have to stick with the meal plan, you have to sleep between 7-8 hours a day, you have to show up at least 5x a week, and you have to push yourself every day. The coaches do a great job also, but you'll be surprised to find out that your body can do a whole lot more than your mind thinks it can! Personally, I kept a log of everything: how much water I consumed, what I ate, which exercises I did, how much sleep I got. Because for me: If it's not on paper, it's just vapor! Great place to train, with plenty of modifiers of each exercise (So it's NOT 1 size fits all!), and like-minded people. So many different levels of fitness enthusiasts (If you are not one, you will become one :-D) Everyone is treated equally from absolute beginner to advanced. You don't have to be great to start but you do have to start, to become great!

I've taken a few classes at Row House South Tampa, and each one leaves me wanting more! I usually…read morestick to their Signature class, which combines 75% rowing on the erg with 25% strength exercises. This week, I tried the Full Row class--95% rowing and 5% stretching--and I loved it even more. There's something so motivating about rowing as a crew, pushing to hit personal bests with each stroke. Row House is low-impact, so I feel ready to come back for more soon after. The staff and instructors are incredibly welcoming, offering modifications if needed and making sure everyone feels like they have a friend in the room. With the music up, lights down, and a fan cooling you off, the vibes are perfect for pushing yourself. Plus, South Tampa's location has always had plenty of parking in their lot. Can't wait for my next class!

UPDATE: Today I received a call from Tinisia at Club Pilates Billing Department who bills RowHouse…read moreaccounts. They charged me 119$ for a December membership, returned payment and late fees DESPITE the response from Manager Lisa below. This is over a month AFTER she confirmed publicly and privately that she had personally taken care of canceling my membership and left the club's phone number saying that it was a direct line. I have tried to call multiple times and am sent to the club's voice mail every time. This club is a SCAM they will never let you cancel and if you have to relocate you will still be charged EVEN IF you cancel your membership using following the contract. DO NOT SIGN UP WITH THIS GYM UPDATE: Within 10 minutes of posting this review, studio Manager reached out to me confirming they were canceling my membership moving forward. She was polite when reaching out and apologized for missing the cancellation. I still pursued disputing the 2 months of overage through my bank with receipts of attempts to cancel that fit company's cancellation policy. Still would not recommend as a temporary or short term fitness studio based on cancellation experience. Studio was great. Helpful getting me signed up and really helpful instructors, but my process in moving has completely ruined the experience. Staff has ghosted me and for the past 3 months I have been calling and emailing trying to cancel my membership, but still get charged. The app is not designed to let you cancel so you must contact the studio. I am now beginning the process of reporting the charges through my bank because staff refuses to respond in writing and continues charging my card. DO NOT SIGN UP IF YOU ARE NOT PLANNING TO PAY FOR A MEMBERSHIP FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!
