Personally I recommend FIGHT CLUB and thats located on 2ave right behind BRAMAN. Its a boxing gym and its fantastic! The trainers (Gil and Jeremy) are all awesome and the people are also really nice and down to earth. The gym membership is competitive and the environment is just that - This gym is not for everyone! No fancy machines, no A/C, no pretencious people with cool new sneakers: JUST REAL FITNESS WITH REAL PEOPLE LOOKING FOR A DIFFERNT FITNESS EXPERIENCE! - The gym has all the basic necessities to get in shape and change your life forever!

You really do get the workout of your life and you SEE RESULTS FAST!!!

Go to www.fightclubmiami.com for more information or contact Sandro. Hes the owner and if youre interested, let him know Lynda from MUL recommended you. If you try it, you'll be hooked! Hope this information helps!

I've been at The Sports Club LA, in the Four Seasons, for 5 years now, but need a change. Have you heard of Shuichi Take? It's in Midtown & supposed to be the new thing.

Otherwise you can wait for the LA Fitness to open up in Mary Brickell Village come January 2009!; ▶ Reply to This

Some thoughts on other gyms in the area. 1) SportsClub LA (nice, but too spa like, expensive, parking is a hassle) 2) Downtown Athletic Club (decent, moderately expensive, but a hassle to get to) .......A 24 hour fitness is supposed to go in at Met 3...but looks to be many years away.....; ▶ Reply to This

.... in the worst way. It's a closet and they charge up to $99/month for the place! If you rent a place at Midblock, then it's free for the first year. I wouldn't be so shocked if it were marketed as an apartment complex gym, but it's open to the public! It's way too small and cramped... you will feel like you're working out in a public school hallway! I also question the quality of the equipment! Honestly, the place is worth $19/month.

Anyway, go take a visit and see what you think. As for being the new thing? Whew, I don't know who would consider it to be the new thing. You can go online and find all kinds of rave reviews of the place, but then you realize all these artificial screen names have only reviewed Shuichi Take--and nothing else. Hmm, suspicious!

I was told by the LAF at Sunset that the Brickell location may not even open now. What nonsense! We all know that club would be busy and well attended by all the people that need a real gym. Those fitness closets (even the one here at 900) just aren't enough! The one up in the 120s might open up even before the Brickell one opens.

But, you can choose 24 Hour Fitness down on Route 1, Snap 24/7 (near Prestige), LAF Sunset (boom, traffic!), SCLA (worth the price, but the parking is %$^^&*@!), or any of the gyms on the beach (again, boom, traffic!); ▶ Reply to This
