I stumbled upon this gem when I was grabbing lunch at a sub shop located in the same plaza. Decided…read moreto check it out and meet one of the owners, Ryan. Turns out Ryan is also a trainer and a genuinely great guy. Ryan is very knowledgable and personable as well as very encouraging, and he is always smiling - except when it is his turn to lift lol. Margate Barbell is primarily a powerlifting gym, and Ryan is always around to make sure you are using correct technique to avoid injury. If you prefer circuit training Ryan's got plenty of tricks up his sleeves to keep your heart pumping. It's a smaller gym, but boasts a great atmosphere and great people. I've been training with Ryan since October 2016 and have noticed a big difference in my strength and general overall fitness. I highly recommend you stopping by and saying hi to Ryan.

This is a neighborhood gem! If you are a powerlifter and over the commercial big box gym scene,…read morethis is the place to go. The owners Mike and Ryan are very nice and the environment is supportive and uplifting.

As a lover of everything extreme, I enjoy coming to HEW for my sweat session. The sheer size of…read morethis place is my favorite perk. You can have a very large class size and don't feel like you're on top of each other. The coaches are super friendly and they are attentive to every customer. They keep an eye on every client's performance and makes sure you follow correct posture and form throughout the workouts. This is a big deal to me cause if you don't do these types of workouts correctly you are susceptible to injury. HEW coaches don't lose a beat. They remember everyone's names and keep the environment upbeat and fun. This keeps me coming back for more. The location is large, clean and includes ample parking, full bathrooms with showers as well as a kid room where parents can bring their toddlers while they workout. If it weren't for the fact that my job is located down the street from HEW I would've never discovered it. Hopefully a Miami location? A girl can only hope.

Elmore keeps things interesting every session. No 2 sessions are the same which keeps me motivated and going back. He also helped me improve my eating habits right. If you are serious about getting results from your workout I recommend working out with him for a few weeks.

I've only been to this location a few times but it was always a pleasant experience. I appreciate…read morethat they have lockers that you can program. At other locations you have to bring a lock. The only downfall is that the machines are not put in order. They are scattered all over the place and this location is double the size of others. The staff is approachable and willing to assist with questions and setting up any services in the black card area such as hydro massage or tanning bed. I've always found parking fairly close. There are plenty of treadmills, stair masters and elliptical machines. Usually there's no wait and if there is a wait for a machine, people are usually thoughtful and it becomes available quickly.

I went there as a guest with a friend . This location was not what I expected …read more As a guest you had to put something on your phone to agree with it, I've never had to do that with any other gym I was a guest at. The machines were kind of scattered for working out as far as arms, legs and abs. The only machine that was different from my gym I go to was the ab twister. I went to help my friend to show her how to use the machines that would benefit her and some she didn't know how to use. The area with free weights and pullups didn't have enough clips everyone kept looking for the same ones . It was hot in the gym not sure why and I am not one who likes a cold gym but this was like a warehouse. The locker room area seemed clean but the bathrooms were not up to par. A real turn off was the black toilets . I don't know who came up with that but yuck. You can't even tell if the water is clean or soiled. There are no paperyorlwss at all , not even in the handicap bathroom. I know the hand dryers save the earth but honestly, I prefer to dry my hands. I asked if a guest is able to also user the extra rooms in the back but was told no. Other gyms allow usage of back areas. If it was busy and others waiting i could maybe understand but only one person was in a room with tanning bed that is not what I wanted to use. I wanted to use the water massage bed . I asked if we could at least go in and look since my friend never went back there to show her what I am privy to from another location . We found one strange they only had a couch with a TV . There are a lot of cardiomachines empty. The more popular machines were of course busy, and we needed to wait. Even though the gym I belong to doesn't have the one machine I like , I wouldn't join this gym especially this location. The only thing I find that I would enjoy would be the massage water bed. The other massage chairs they have at the malls.

It had been a while since I had been to this location and I wanted to see how much it had changed…read more I decided to switch it up and come. I did my usual self check in at the desk then headed to the treadmill. After warming up I went to the weights area. The main thing I noticed that the place appeared cleaner than I remembered. After finishing my workout I realized that the equipment while functional could use some updating. There's some equipment I've seen at other locations that this one doesn't have. I have been using all my perks lately so I went to request the massage chair and even that needed an upgrade. It felt ok but I am now used to the ones that envelope your body. I will say that the knead on this one was good for my back but that was it. It'll probably be a while before I come here again but it satisfied my curiosity.

The coach Mikey Mike brought it with a great workout, good energy and a willingness to help with form, support and encouragement.
