Great owners with a passion to continue to make improvements to the gym! Great 24/7 access gym with some really unique pieces of equipment you don’t see very often. Great atmosphere, a safe environment with friendly and respectful members that are courteous to each other & practice proper gym etiquette. The complete antithesis of a big box commercial fitness club.

Matt the owner is the best. Extremely humble and inviting. Best gym in Tampa Bay. Has equipment focused on bodybuilding, power-lifting and everything in between. 24/7 access. Real sense of community compared to big commercial gyms. Vibe is 10/10. You'll love it here!

I was in the area and needed a place to train as I do a mix of weight lifting and power lifting type workout for my sport. I had found this gym near by and saw that they did not have staffed hours past 3 but I could give the phone number a text if I wanted to come in for a day pass past those times. The owner gladly allowed me to use the facility which was by far the nicest gym I have ever been too. I was able to do all my exercises and the energy from the other people around was amazing the short time I was there you could see other people working just as hard as you for there goals which is something I really like to see in a gym. I would even say this place is worth moving states haha!

My husband and I have been going to this gym and have enjoyed our experience there. The owner, Matt is attentive and the gym is always in good standing. They have a ton of equipment to use and all members are respectful of the space. My personal trainer is Stephanie and If I had 5 more gold stars to give it would be for her. She is incredibly knowledgeable, uplifting, and encouraging, even during 5:45 AM workouts. I am incredibly happy with my progress and appreciate the training and support she’s provided to me. She will push you, in the best way and I’m grateful for the opportunity to work with her. I’d recommend this gym & trainer, without a doubt.

It's a good gym. I'm very happy with how the owner(s) consistently work to improve the gym and that's likely been the biggest selling point for me. It's a big space, and as I usually go during off hours it's never crowded. Some of the equipment is a little ragged, but it does the job.Fair warning, the membership page on their website doesn't state it but they do charge a cancellation fee.Overall it's likely one of the best gyms in the Pinellas area. 24/7 access, decent equipment, and once again owners who care about improving their business. The only reason I'm leaving the gym is because I'm moving! I definitely feel like the owners have "earned" my business so to speak, so if I was staying in the area I'd definitely keep going Pack Animal.

I work as a contract professional across the US. As such, I have had the opportunity to workout at some of the most hardcore gyms. However, the professionalism of the owner of this gym stands leagues above nearly every one I’ve visited. This gentleman shares a genuine and heartfelt sincerity in making sure that the members needs and goals are met. If you are in the St. Petersburg area, don’t even THINK of trying another gym before giving this place an opportunity to earn your loyalty. I promise you, you won’t be disappointed!

This is going to sound like a broken record....but...if you are serious about your workout sessions, then this is the place to be. Matt, the owner, is authentic, professional and kind, making sure the members are comfortable and enjoy their time at the gym. What also makes this gym stand apart is the quality and diversity of the type of equipment Matt brought inhouse. Simply insane. And indeed having a gym where you don't have to wait hours to access an equipment is also priceless. This is why I waited so long to write this review cause in all fairness this is a gem better kept secret. But I want Matt to succeed so here we go.

Best gym I have joined so far. I am working on my second week and haven't missed a day. The owner is almost always there and asking what kind of improvements that we'd like. Very proactive! I work out mostly in the morning and have never had to wait for any equipment. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a better lifting gym. Locally owned and operated is always better!!

One of the best non-chain gyms I have ever visted. If you want hot, sweaty, down to earth gym feeling this is the place to go. The staff are on point, and super personable. If you are looking for a clean, well funded, lots of weights/equipment, and a non-judgmental atmosphere this gym is you . Much love to the owners and staff I'll will be back as often as I can! Thanks for all you do.

Excellent gym. I met some of the folks that work there and the owner on my first visit and they're all exceptionally friendly and down to earth. Every piece of equipment you could ever need is all available, including a whole side room dedicated to squatting. Bumper plates, a sled, full cable equipment, every machine you'd ever need, and so many bars and free weights that you'll never be waiting for anything. Great place to workout!
