Fitness System Sawgrass

Read my review if you trying to join hereI am a veteran of United stated Armed forces - UA-ARMY!I called yesterday inquiring about the membership costs and fees and a nice lady told me since I am a veteran it is 39$ / per month and there is no Enrollment Fees !!So I figured to call today just few minutes ago and spoken to a man I bribe his name wan Nathan or nick not sure.I asked him the same question and he goes well we have promotions witch is 50% off enrollment fee witch is 50$ + monthly for 39$Then I explained to him what I have been told just yesterday and he was speechless when I added why you making up numbers , and I asked for Sean - the owner as I was told - he said he is only here in the day time - morning -Sean if you see this please train whoever picks up that phone to stick to one story one price .I will change / update my review once I get to speak to the owner.

The gym is amazing, it has an absurd amount of machines of the best quality, great lighting and everything. However the gym charges $10 to have sauna privileges, which is pretty crazy, due to the fact that nobody uses it, they should make it open to everybody instead of charging for it.

Recently stopped in to visit this gym specifically and it did not disappoint! The gentleman at the front desk was helpful got me set up with a day pass and quick tour of the layout of the gym. Immediately noticed a Phenomenal selection of quality equipment (Atlantis, Hammer Str, Panatta, Precor, Cybex, etc) along with a great layout based on body parts. Very Clean, you can tell the owners, employees and members take pride in the gym. If you’re in the area it’s definitely worth visiting!

Best gym I’ve ever been part of. The atmosphere, music and the vibes are a must if you’re a serious workout enthusiast or competitor. Thank you for opening this gym to area here.

Great establishment! The gym itself lived up to the hype surrounding it. I came in when my gym was undergoing renovations and Mo was very helpful and gave me an amazing tour of the gym and the staff was amazing. Very well kept. Probably one of the best gyms i’ve been too!

Was suggested this gym by my good friend Dylan and couldn’t be happier. Love the hours and equipment they have to offer, and not to mention how great the community is! Definitely recommend this gym to anyone in the area

After spending just under a year at this gym, unfortunately I have a lot of negative things to say about it. If you’re a casual gym-goer that doesn’t really care much about anything, you’ll probably do fine here. The only positive: there’s a lot of equipment and it’s big.Firstly, the gym/staff pushes memberships on new or visiting customers who just come to check out the gym or try a day pass. The memberships have hidden fees that the staff neglect to tell you about until after you’ve signed. Pricing is moderate, but honestly could be more reasonable. I guess you need to upcharge for buying unnecessary equipment and wasting money on tons of trash commercial barbells and plates. Also, extra charges for towel service and sauna privileges.Secondly, the toxic environment and demographic targeting created by the owners. I was drawn to this gym for the small powerlifting section they offered, which they advertise to increase their reach of niches yet completely disregard the condition and availability of the room. Not to mention the out of pocket and rude comments that have been made towards the powerlifting community, and a special set of over-the-top rules delegated specifically towards the powerlifters, and God forbid you use chalk. If you’re a powerlifter, you’re better off at Planet Fitness. Since September we’ve requested better bars and more plates, and after months of silence, some of us decided to buy our own bars and keep them at the gym. Just a few days later the staff tells us we can’t have them there as a “liability” and that we should have “just asked” for new bars which they would have “happily purchased”. Also, no AC in there.Small detail but worth mentioning; the walls of the gym are an eyesore. Every mirror is plastered with signs saying you can’t do this, can’t do that, doing this will result in a revoked membership, etc etc, which brings me to a current issue.Fitness System banned a member for filming his bodybuilder clients in the gym for breaking “camera policy”. Mind you, he paid for his own membership to simply come in and film, while also offering to pay additional media fees for said privilege. Owners denied this request naturally, though offer it to others, and stated that professional cameras are not allowed in the gym “for the safety of others”, but filming on your phone is totally fine because is “everyone has a smart phone”, yet they have no problem clearing out half the gym to supp brands and pro athletes with entire film crews on their busiest evenings under the same circumstances.On top of this ban, many members including myself and some staff decided to stand up against the disrespect. Fitness System did not hesitate to terminate any membership that spoke out against them. As a gym that claims to be owned by patriots, they don’t take fondly to the 1st amendment.Another major red flag is how quickly they burn through staff members. On average I’d say there were new faces in uniform every 3-6 weeks. I’ve had several ex-staff reach out to me recently and have told me some atrocious stories that I can’t disclose publicly, but further show the state of neglect in leadership and management at Fitness System.Lastly, good luck trying to cancel your membership without another fee. Carlos, the spineless muppet who works the front desk and spends more time walking around and talking to people than doing his job, will gladly remind you that there is a 30-day notice policy to end your membership there, otherwise they are “required” to charge you an additional $50+. 29 day notice? Nope, charged. Can’t make this up. Never had this issue anywhere else.I have more stories to tell about the negativity generated within this facility, but the main takeaway from this review would be that the owners and staff of this gym have no regard for you or your wellbeing. Their only concern is to make money and have control of their clients every step of the way. I guess they need that extra $50 more than I do.

Visited on a day pass recommended by the employee Dylan, really love what I saw. The equipment was top notch and loved the environment. Definitely recommend this gym over many I’ve been to in the area!

Gym is good but will only allow you to cancel in person. I moved out of state and their policy states I'm screwed. Month to month membership means nothing if they make you jump through hoops to honor it. Gotta keep paying for nothing until I fly back down to Florida. Sleazy policy.

Terrible gym have favorites on what they let people do. Me and all my guys canceled would not advice. If you want a real gym stop by la fitness and speak with Xavier. Cool young kid that actually helps you save money and have all the amenities you want. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME!!!To add on the gym it’s self is nice just staff is very poorly managed.
