I made the change from orange theory to scorch with the hopes of adding more strength training to my workouts. I had no idea what a gem of a gym scorch would be and I am so happy I joined! The coaches here are unmatched and the workouts are great! They coach on form and are always able to provide modifications and substitutions. I appreciate that scorch offers flexibility on exercises when you’re working out with no judgement. 10/10 recommend!

Updating for any pregnant mommas that I have done these workouts postpartum and pregnant and have always found the coaches helpful in their counsel when I need to change things up to accommodate my stage I. Life!

I have been coming to Scorch for about 3 or 4 years and I absolutely love it. I left for a bit to try a different gym with some friends. I didn’t like it all so I came back and I am so glad I did! It’s like a family! The trainers are amazing and watch to make sure your form is perfect so you prevent injury. Liz, the owner, is a genius for creating such a great atmosphere with the best workouts. Love the Scorch family.

Second update:
Two+ years later and I’m still loving the results, programming, coaches and community! Strangers approach me, asking how i got my muscles and this business has really helped me keep my perimenopausal symptoms in check. Highly recommend!!UPDATE: I’ve now completed 200 classes at Scorch and my results are mind blowing. I’ve made great friends and connections here too! I love the social events to hang out beyond the gym walls—such a fun, genuine group of people here.

Liz and her team of instructors are phenomenal!! I have never really weight-trained or done HIIT in my life. But after a spinal fusion and chronic back pain from years of competitive athletics, degenerative disease and overtraining, i met Liz at a scorch social and she suggested i give it a shot. 2 weeks in and I’m really enjoying the changes I’m seeing and feeling in my body. Great location, convenient schedule options, and every instructor has been welcoming, informative, supportive, and knowledgeable. They cheer you on as you bust your butt. Each class has a bit of a different feel, so i recommend attending a few different times to find your optimal fit. I also love that this gym offers social events that are fun, casual, and don’t feel exclusive or clique-y at all. Incredible, supportive community!

I love starting my day at Scorch. I had been going to F45 for a couple years and after moving to Sarasota I could not find a studio that I really enjoyed until I found Scorch. It is a great combination of cardio and weight training.

I have been going to Scorch for a little over 4 years now. The variety of workouts is unmatched, the thought and effort that goes into the construction of them is deliberate. Coming from a conventional gym where you have to come up with workouts yourself and become self-motivated to coming to a gym where all the workouts are not only made for you but also coached by educated individuals who push you to your personal limits. They care about previous injuries and make sure that you can modify anything you do not feel comfortable with. The camaraderie between members is special and the team at Scorch has created that. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being the best gym in town and I will continue to tell everyone how much they need it!🫶🏻

THE BEST WORK OUT.

This is the best work out you'll ever do. It's so hard and so much fun. I've never felt more motivated. I feel so much stronger, I don't have the back and knee pains anymore.

The owner Liz has a degree and has/ does train pro athletes , so she knows why you're feeling the pain and how to fix it. The instructors are awesome.

We’ve been members of Scorch HIIT for two years and have enjoyed the workouts and community a lot! The group exercise is motivating, with lots of variety and the exercises are well thought-out to engage a certain muscle group for maximum benefit. Liz (owner) puts a lot of thought and science into developing the total body workouts and ensures plenty of variety to keep it fun too!
We highly recommend Scorch!

I really loved my experience at Scorch Fitness! I love the combination of free weights and barbell work paired with an athletic-style training on the turf. The coaches are always upbeat and give great coaching on form. I don’t feel pushed to do any more than I am capable and appreciate that a lot. The owner is so knowledgeable about athletic training and exercise science in general. They are lucky to have her as a resource!

Scorch Fitness is a community of fun people dedicated to being physically fit. The most remarkable quality of the HIIT routine Liz Lowe has created is that I can go 6-7 days a week and never get bored. The warm up and cool down are pretty much the same, but the 35 minutes of intervals and rest in between changes every day.
That makes for a good workout. What makes a good workout Into a great gym are the coaches and community. The men and women who coach at Scorch all have their individual styles, and each of them are great. I genuinely look forward not just to the workout but also to the familiar friendly faces I see every day. It’s a welcoming community of great people. Best damn gym I’ve ever been part of.

You want to workout right? Well, how about adding a bit of friendship and accountability to the list! Scorch is like a family, when you walk in you will see your crew or new faces with a happy smile asking how you are. Once you get inside onto the turf, your coach will be there counting you on til the finish line of the workout. Not only will the coach walk around to make sure everyone is using the correct form and postures per each workout they will work with you to add modifications if needed. Go about your business while working out using lighter or heavier weight, there is simply no judgment! Once your workout is complete, you'll be happy and feel like you accomplished so much.

It's not often that a decision to walk through a door changes your life but that is exactly what happened to me.
Scorch Fitness is an incredible workout but what's even better is the community of people that you'll meet there.
Everyone comes together to help each other achieve their fitness goals.
The programming is fantastic, the coaches are warm and friendly, while the workout is tough its nothing to be intimidated about.
This isn't a CrossFit gym where its all driven by competition and speed. You'll get as good of a workout but in a friendlier environment.
Don't hesitate to join the Scorch family!

After lifting weights for 25 years, I decided to get out of my comfort zone and try a HIIT format. The experience at Scorch has been phenomenal.
I had no clue what I was doing, but all of the coaches are great about explaining and demonstrating every exercise before the stations start and then finding you during to tweak and correct your form.
I’ve noticed a HUGE reduction in back pain (probably cause I’d been doing it wrong 😶). And I’ve been thrilled with the way the results have translated to the sports I play. Just a great find that I’m grateful for.

I love working out at Scorch! Everyone is so friendly and super encouraging! Its always a positive, fun environment! The workouts are challenging but I know there is a method-to-the-madness behind Liz's programming! Being someone who has had multiple injuries over the years; I greatly appreciate the focus on strengthening the small-stabilizer muscle groups I have neglected in the past, and not just focusing on the big power-house muscles! It’s a complete package when it comes to strength, power and cardio! I feel safe AND challenged working out there!
I have learned so much from knowing Liz and working out at Scorch! It’s a place for everyone; no matter your age, level of fitness or experience...I hope to see YOU there! ❤️

Scorch Fitness, it’s trainers and it’s overall culture CHANGED MY LIFE, y’all. I was terrified to step foot into the gym the first time and a dear friend convinced me otherwise. It didn’t take long before I saw my future friends working hard, helping out us newbies and celebrating even the smallest of victories with me. In just over a year, I lost 65 lbs, put on a significant amount of lean muscle and learned HOW to lift properly. I love that we don’t just workout together— we play together too at monthly socials!! Many thanks to Liz, Duncan, Shanna, Nicole and the entire team at Scorch Fitness!

I have been at Scorch for 3 months now, and I'll start off by saying, "What's not to love?" I love the fact that you get to try it out for a week for free without any commitment or scheme or sales pitch to sign up with a contract like other gyms in the area. I love that they have lots of class times to choose from. I love that the owners are so welcoming and treat you like family the minute you walk in the door. I love that the coaches are all so friendly and can modify the workout for you if you have an injury or have difficulty doing a movement. I love that you are not only helping a great cause for every social media check-in, but that you can earn perks too. I love that everyone helps out to wipe down the equipment after every class. I love that the classes start off as a big group, then to be broken down to smaller groups and are able to work at your own pace & strength, and then come back together as one big group at the end. I love that no one judges you whether you can lift 5lbs or 225lbs or if you weigh 100lbs or 350lbs. I love that the workouts are never the same from day to day so it never gets boring. I love that this HIIT program is like no other in the area and is a perfect balance of Endurance, Power & Strength.

Whether you are young or old, athletic, out of shape, or somewhere in between, Scorch Fitness is the place for you! I promise that you will become more fit and feel more confident about yourself and make a friend or two...or even a dozen in the process.

Don't wait any longer. Give it a try. What do you have to lose but a maybe a few inches and pounds and possibly gain a new FitFam and happy place like I have.

Amazing workout! It was the 7am class with 12 other people.

I’m visiting from out of town and I went to my first class today to try it out. (FYI Out of towner’s aren’t eligible for the first week free promo but you can try 1 class free). After the class my partner and I signed up for the week pass.

They made a point to know our names. The class flew by time wise. I usually watch the clock during classes but didn’t even glance at it during the entire workout. The instructor was helpful checked on everybody’s form. I can’t say enough about how great my workout was this morning.

UPDATE: I worked out for the week and pros were: diversity in ages and fitness levels, trainers added modifications for injuries, almost all trainers made a point to know my name, people were friendly, new clean equipment, new workouts every day. I worked out 6 of the 8 days i was in town and never felt burnt out. Even the bigger classes (16-17) didn’t feel overcrowded. Also free coffee!
Cons: closed on Sundays, turf was rough on my hands and when stretching but I got used to it.

Overall, I highly recommend it. This is my new gym every time I come to Sarasota!

Scorch was incredible! As someone who has fallen off of the healthy living wagon the last few years, I dread trying new workouts. Ryan made the workout awesome. He was encouraging and knowledgeable. He kept me motivated. I struggled mid way through but was able to recover and even go back and do the set that I had to originally skip. I still in the trial period but am excited to sign up for a long term membership. I'm teaming with Scorch to win back my health. It'll be a fight but I now know I have the right team in my corner.

The coaches all refer to me by name from day one! It's the little things in life which make the difference! Keeps me coming back ! The fact that I'm feeling the changes I desired , I'm down 5 total inches of body fat! The encouragement & warm smiles support. I'm grateful .
