Great gym with a feeling of community.

University Fitness Center is hands down one of the best gyms around. Starting from the moment you walk in, plenty of bodybuilder trophies and photos on the wall for that extra motivation.

The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the overall vibe is awesome. It’s the only gym where you’re totally fine if your headphones die or you forget them — their playlist is that good!

Gym etiquette here is top-tier too. Everyone re-racks their weights, wipes down benches, and keeps the place clean and organized. It makes working out so much more enjoyable when everyone respects the space and each other.

Highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a positive atmosphere, great music, and a community that actually cares.

I’m new to this gym, just 1 month. I like it, plenty of parking during the week after work, 6pm. My previous gym was a nightmare, never any parking. Also they don’t blast the music. A variety of music, also nice. The machines r available 😊😊. I never have to wait so the gym isn’t overcrowded. The ppl r serious about working out. 🏋️ really wasn’t that serious but I’m getting more consistent & motivated due to the results 😊. I have the benefit of getting trained here also, this is the reason I joined, but I still like it.

I've been coming here since 2020, since moved but there's a reason why I still drive over 30 minutes several times a week to be back here, easily one of the best gyms I've ever been a part of. Mike the GM here is extremely kind and personable, trainer staff is very knowledgeable and takes very good care of their clients, facility has ample equipment, members are incredibly helpful and nice. Can't say enough good things about this place, I encourage everyone to at least drop in and see what this place is about, absolutely fantastic gym to be a part of!

What can I say about this amazing gym, let's start at customer service, I'm always greeted with a smile by many of the employees, Josh, Dave and Mike are always amazing, and give off such a great vibe. Welcomed like I'm family there. The equipment! Between a few rare finds and a classic base foundation there's no way you can leave here without a good workout. Between amazing prices and amazing people, and the vibes here? I won't go anywhere else, I've found my home

One of a kind gym! The best customer service along with great equipment and gym vibe. It's been my home gym for over a decade and it's only gotten better over the years. No pressure, no forcing a trainer on you (although they do have amazing trainers in house if YOU CHOOSE to hire a trainer), no small print bs. Just good ol' lifting and good environment.

This gym is the most customer oriented fitness center for all ages and levels of training. Immediately upon entering you are always greeted by a professional! The gym is definitely user friendly. There is a great assortment of machines and weights -
It is open 24/7. It is always clean and lots of cleaning material to clean your machine.
All ages are welcome. I love that it is dedicated to working out and lots of cardio machines.
It is truly an amazing experience

This used to be a 5 star gym until the new tik tok crews invaded. They all want to record and socially gather instead of actually working out. I hope management get a handle on this quickly because it’s making a lot of your day one clients uncomfortable. No one wants to end up on a viral video without their knowledge or consent!

Best gym in the area, amazing equipment though a little old still great, no annual fee, contract, no bs. $30 a month thats it, no crowds or hordes of teenagers. Just a gym that's it.

EDIT: it sucks to have to downgrade my rating from 5 to 4 stars because this is a great gym with great staff and equipment but the growing population of tiktok kids and wannabe influencers putting their tripods everywhere and giant gym bags has been unbearable. I've been a member here for about a year now and every experience at this gym has been stellar up until the past few months. My previous review said " no crowds or hordes of teenagers" but that has most certainly changed now. The powerlifting section of this gym is now quite literally crowded with teenagers and tripods very often, I don't use that part of the gym often but if you are looking to not have to trip over large gym bags and tripods you will be disappointed here. Recently I learned that it is no longer $30/mo to join, it is now $40, as well as the guest passed tripled in price to $15 up from just $5. Now I don't know why the prices have increase that's far beyond me but in my opinion $40 monthly is a steep price to have to deal with kids running around with tripods and constantly on their phone doing god knows what. I love this gym because it's family owned, no contracts,the employees and owner are fantastic people,lower crowds than any crappy commercial gym like crunch, planet fitness, or eos. But the growing plague of tiktokers and influencers is beginning to take away from the uniqueness and value of University Fitness. I still recommend it over a commercial gym do beware of these issues. The owner has addressed these issues via Instagram posts but I still think more needs to be done. Signs around the gym would be a good start, as for anything more extreme I'm not sure.
Overall a great gym but boundaries need to be made.

Great gym if you're serious about making gains. Small private gym with unique equipment. Membership and Day pass is affordable. I will definitely use this as an alternative gym if I want to change it up. I went late night and 530pm and little to no crowd. Ppl are respectful and friendly from my experience. If you're into content creation, it's allowed. Just be respectful and mindful.

Starting with the positives, I really appreciate the 5 dollar day pass this gym offers. Their memberships are month to month with no contracts or scammy hidden fees like nearly every other gym in the area. I also enjoy that they have some equipment that is rare to find elsewhere such as a cambered barbell, pendulum squat. This gym tends not to get as crowded as many other gyms do, as well.

Negatives include poor or underutilized air conditioning. It's often hot and smells very musty/mildewy in the gym. Overall cleanliness could definitely use an improvement. Additionally, some of the older machines function so poorly that they're basically useless. Also, this gym seems to attract wannabe influencers, so you can expect to see lots of people recording in case that's something that bothers you.

Not my home gym but I do go from time to time and appreciate that it's there, particularly if I'm working out with a friend.

Really used to love going here but it’s gotten over run with tik tokers and the equipment is falling apart all the time. Employees chasing trainers and having kids with eachother super unprofessional.. instead of fraternizing with eachother they may wanna deep clean the machines. There’s dust and napkins from the 90s stuck in them still. Dude at the door also lets his friends in free while other have to pay. Glad we stepped away from this gym.

The daily pass cost of $5 is unbeatable, and it's also not packed at all usually.

However it can get kind of stinky. If the gym doesn't take care of the heat and moisture better, everything will be rusty and gross by the end of the year

The atmosphere is fantastic, great mix of old school machines along with modern equipment, excellent staff and this gym without exaggeration is the fastest at repairing machines I've ever seen.

I've been going here for about 2 years. Friendliest staff EVER! Mike and Joe rock! And it's really like you're working out with family.

So I wanted to wait a week after joining (and after 5 workouts) to make sure I wasn’t dreaming about University Fitness. I’m not. Yes, the awesome General Manager Mike still remembered my name a week later and often and quickly spot-checks in on many members to see if they need anything or have any questions. Yes, the members are friendly and focused without being disruptive, intrusive, or gym-inappropriate. On my second day, I met an 82-year old member (Leonard) who was so encouraging and welcoming while completely defying Father TIme with a smile! Yes, the environment is bodybuilder/weightlifter/powerlifter-serious without taking itself so seriously that you feel unwelcome.

Yes, the equipment is redundant, which is awesome when someone is using the equipment or weights you want (though that rarely happens) and you just walk 5 feet to the other machine you also wanted. Yes, Monday nights are their busiest night, and yet you won’t have to wait for machines nor be surrounded by bodies in your personal space. Yes, the equipment is time-tested (those in the know will know why this is important and rare these days). Yes, they have several cable cross-over machines (and several other similar equipment throughout the facility). Yes, they have an entire room for abs! Yes, they also have Squat Racks, Punching Bags, Hammer Strength, Cybex, Diesel, Atlantis, Magnum, and other great lines of equipment. Yes, they also have cool stuff like MAG lat pull down attachments and Rogue Multi-Grip 7ft bars. It’s not a chain gym, but they have plenty of chains and outdoor Sled sprints and tire flips! Yes, the personal trainers are world class and, from what I can tell, personable professionals. Yes, the parking is convenient, safe, and plentiful. Yes, the membership rates are incredibly reasonable and can be paid monthly or at one time for the length of time you want. Yes, University Fitness is Silver Sneakers and SilverFit certified (if that’s a thing that your insurance might ask for). Yes, the staff is awesome. Yes, the two (rescued) puppies that are part of the University Fitness Team are awesome and love to be loved!

With so many “yes”es, surely, there must be some “no”s, right? Uh huh. No contracts. No Initiation Fees. No high pressure personal training packages sales tactics (like at LA Fitness, which I had to leave because these were ridiculous!). No fancy cardio, yoga, cycling, abs classes (if you’re into that kinda thing). No fancy locker rooms with fancy soap or warm towels (And? They have the basics: lockers, sinks, showers, urinals, stalls… and they’re all clean). No pool. No sauna. It’s southeast Florida… these might exist elsewhere in your life.

University Fitness is an old school gym that are a dying breed. Yet, it is a living, breathing dream-come-true. I’m pretty sure that University Fitness will take your fitness goals as seriously as you do, and then some. Whether you’re a world-class bodybuilder, fitness competitor, powerlifter, or I’m so happy I discovered this gym and so angry with myself that it took me so long. Don’t make the same mistake!

Great mom-and-pop gym. Can't recommend anything better. The co-owners make it a point to make everyone feel like they're in a brotherhood. The equipment might be rough around the edges but the authenticity of the gym and its patrons make working out a enjoyable event.
