Beach Body Gym

Love the gym atmosphere. Music is always on and getting me ready for a workout. The place is always clean and the staff is amazing. My favorite class to take is spinning! The spa that is part of the gym is amazing as well! Highly recommend both the gym and spa for all of a customers needs!

For women who are looking for a great full body, cardio workout, Andrea’s Body Rock classes on Monday and Wednesday at 6:30 are fantastic. It’s a challenging workout, but is suitable for all fitness levels and ages.
Andrea is a fantastic trainer who will push you, but let you work within your abilities. The workout includes hand weights, bosu balls, trx, and weighted bars. You will be sweating, and you will get stronger.

This gym was the cornerstone of our recent visit to Miami.
My wife had to spend a week at a conference in New York and she had no control over what she would be eating or when she would have time to work out so she really wanted to focus and get back on track. We looked at all of her options in North America and the Caribbean and she decided that she wanted to spend a week with the personal training services of August Brooke and the ancillary services and facilities offered at Beach Body Fitness to kickstart her goals back on track after a week that she knew she would be out of control.
I was really impressed with how this team worked with her in advance of our arrival to custom tailor a schedule that worked in a combination of one-​on-​one training, stretching, group activities, self-​directed cardio and spa services while respecting that this was also a bit of a vacation for our family.
She was onsite at the gym for 2 – 3 hours per day for the 5 days that we were in town and, with the exception of the arrival day, she was done each day by noon so we could enjoy the pools, beach, ocean, and shopping nearby.
August made a special point of welcoming us and ensuring that we knew where to eat like locals to get a truly authentic neighbourhood experience rather than just go where all of the tourists would head for dinners out. I’ve spent plenty of time in Miami, but always focused on the South Beach experience. This trip we centred ourselves around the Beach Body Health Club and I am thrilled with that decision. The boardwalk in this area is beautiful. Every restaurant we experienced was a perfect execution. The beaches were clean and pristine.
As for the gym experience itself, my wife left her 5 days with August and Beach Body Health Club feeling stronger, more motivated, and better about herself than she did going in. We are already planning a 6-​month return visit to update progress and refine her technique. For a single gym to offer P90X, TRX, Yoga, and Spinning in addition to a full service open gym with every conceivable isolinear machine, cardio machine and free weight you would need to do any type of personally guided workout you can imagine is truly impressive for such an efficient space.
They also have a protein smoothie bar and full service spa onsite, including tanning, although we tried to use the sun for tanning during this visit.
I was impressed that they make use of the outdoor environment when they can to supplement the indoor space by taking the classes outside and even coordinating a regular weekly game of Ultimate on the beach! All in, this is a top notch gym that offers top notch service with great staff.
As a trainer, August Brooke fully invests in his clients and freely offers his wisdom and advice in an honest and open fashion that is worth every penny you invest in the personal training.

I have never been more disappointed in a massage in my entire life! I would give zero stars if it was possible.
I requested an hour long, deep tissue massage (2:00−3:00) and arrived 15 minutes early. I sat waiting until 2:15 and then they brought me back into my massage room.
Usually a massage room should be warm, dimly lit and accompanied by soothing music for maximum relaxation. I walked into the room which looked like a shanty doctors office and it was FREEZING. I didn’t complain because I figured they would dim the lights and put on soft music to help me relax, but I was wrong.
This spa is attached to a gym and instead of soothing music, Alls I could hear was awful techno music blasting through the wall. To make it worse, the masseuse played her own terrible playlist through her phone speaker simultaneously. So now I’m trying to relax with two conflicting music tracks layered over each other (pan flute and hard bass drops do not mesh well).
Again, I tried to not complain about the little things and hoped for the best regarding the massage. I told her to specifically work on my lower body because that’s where all of my pain is, but did she listen? No…
She painfully rubbed my shoulders for about 40 min and my lower body for about 5 min. She didn’t even turn me over on my back. Before I could even get comfortable, she whispered that my time was up. When she left my room it was just turning 3:00, even though we didn’t start until 2:15.
I told the lady at the desk all of my concerns and of course she showed no sympathy or even offered to reduce the massage rate. She swiped my credit card with a smile on her face and I paid $ 125 dollars for absolutely nothing!
Take my advice and steer clear of getting a massage here. Maybe if they focused more on their massages and less on their smoothie bar they would have more happy customers.
PS — I made a Unilocal account specifically to write this negative review. It was that bad.

Best gym on the beach! Friendly staff, clean gym and great gym machines. All in one gym, tanning, supplements, smoothies they have it all. Highly recommended.

That is the best gym i’ve ever been… The employers are like family… And the machines are amazing clear.

Needs more room for body workouts such as cross fit, cardio, jumping rope. I was promised a price, did automatic payments and then realized I was paying $ 10 more than what I was promised. The manager first put it on me, saying that I was confused and misunderstood. Then with a prepotency told me he was going to give me a $ 5 discount because the price was plus taxes. Go figure. I don’t want to talk to that guy again. I don’t really care what I am going to be charged. Unfortunately I can’t cancel my membership without paying $ 250 but definitely I am not going to renew next year.
After I posted this exact same review in another website, I was approached by Mr. Fernando (manager?) saying that if I took down the review I was able to cancel my contract without paying the $ 250. I am not going to be blackmailed so I told him that was not an option. Then he started insulting me in front of his subordinate (way to go) saying all kind of things. Alleging he is a businessmen and a bunch of other stuff. Here’s a copy of an e-​mail que sent me later.
«Alejandro, en este establecimiento nos reservamos el derecho de ingreso y permanencia. Firmaste de acuerdo contrato por $ 65 y como lloraste mucho te rebaje los $ 5 que tanto te dolieron. Te envie un mensaje de bienvenida con $ 250 en regalos y tu respuesta fue criticar y mentir en un review. Te dije lo que sos: una persona sin integridad ni principios. Sin insultarte. No tenes porque sacar el review. Te pedi que lo hicieras por que mentiste, nadie te engaño. Hoy de nuevo dijiste que complete el contrato despues de que firmaste. Seguis mintiendo. Entonces te dije que tambien te perdonaba la multa por cancelar, para que te fueras. En este negocio no tratamos de retenerte para „que sigas abonando“. Queremos gente honesta con buena onda. Tu contrato esta cancelado. Sos persona „non-​grata“. No regreses. Bye.»
I never received the $ 250 in gifts he is talking about.
If you are going to enroll, please read everything before singing and don’t trust on this guys word. He’ll do anything to enroll as there’s a $ 250 fee for canceling.
Try to avoid this businessman (btw, the language he uses appearance are far from being a serious businessman). I can’t understand how the owners can afford having a manager like this. All other staff people are excellent. They treat you kindly and always with respect.

Try the electric motorized INVERSION BOARD to take the kinks out of ur spine. U have complete control with the push of a button. Look for it toward the back of the place or ask desk to direct u. Works wonders just like u see on TV :-) Hang upside down or at any inversion angle and work ur way down to full inversion.

The staff and instructors are really awesome, they make sure you are doing everything right. They have free
Bootcamp and Yoga classes on Saturdays at the beach!

I want to really write that the «jury is still out» but I also want to be fair. In all fairness, I like this gym. I like it’s location not only about 5 blocks from my apartment, but the fact that it’s in a kitschy (let’s face it — the hotel needs a LOT of work to have a decent facelift) hotel in North Shore and that it has a beautiful pool on the ocean that my membership entitles me to enjoy (and invite people too — pool comes with a bar too — woo hoo!). The gym abuts a co-​joined spa that seems to have quite a few amenities from massages to hair grooming but I want to add to this right away; staff is rather standoffish and aloof (not quite «rude» but bordering) and seem to only be impressed if one is a well-​manicured already coiffed (and might I say loaded with botox and implants) Woman — much like the rest of the staff. When I told a woman at the counter I recently joined and how much was a massage she barely looked me in the eye and muttered «10% off of $ 125.00.» Is that right? Maybe so, because yesterday after having a body composition test (this should come as quite a shock to anyone who knows me but I’m overweight!) I was given the spiel about seeing a trainer. I’d like to, in all seriousness, give a caveat here. At 50 this is NOT the first gym I’ve joined. This is Miami. I’ve joined gyms to meet people, I’ve joined gyms to get laid (the steam room in a certain now defunct chain that had a swanky sexy operation on Coral Way was too much fun!) and I’ve even joined gyms to lose weight. And at all the above I’ve used trainers. I’ve paid $ 35 an hour to $ 65 – 75 an hour, I’ve lost more weight, gained more muscle — quit trainers and gyms and gained everything back. But this gym wants me to start seeing trainers at the whopping starting price of $ 125.00 (is that the same as a massage?)!! Um… that’s a serious LOT of money to make sure I’m doing a pull down lat correctly, ok?! So like I say, the jury is still out. Yep, I’m attending, yes I’m doing some light weights and some light cardio and yes I hope to increase both (and yes, I’m sure some of you find this shocking — I sorta do too) and maybe even this time since I stopped drinking the weight will even really stay off… well… that remains to be seen… but so too does my attitude about this gym and its myriad of expenses. Right now with the prices just shy of a David Barton without the chichi Delano hotel, my closing comment for this place is «mutton dressed as lamb.»

I sign up for this gym in the middle of the month, so in my agreement manager corrected that my due day will be in the middle of the month instead of 1^st. Every single month their billing company contacting me about my due date. I have been told by service rep over the phone if i will email my request to move my due date it’s all will be OK. Which i did. Two weeks later I’m receiving email that i will be charged extra because i want to move my due date. I’m calling them back and per on the phone explaining me that they can’t give me half month free. I said how is that possible?: i started on 13 and finish on 13. You charge me every month on 13. What’s a big deal. She said she cant help me and i need to go back to the gym and speak with them. I have been back and forth with this gym. I feel like a ping pong ball, they cant help me from neither sides!
Very disappointed!

I just moved to Miami Beach and was searching for a new gym. I was excited to see Beach Body Gym was walking distance from my condo. I walked in and saw a young lady at the counter. I said hello, and with attitude she said hold on. The tone and facial expression of this woman was harsh. I asked this not so nice lady for gym pricing. Again with attitude and intense facial expression, she said fill out this form. Nicely, I said I just want pricing with attitude she said fill out this form. Finally, I said never mind. With more attitude and sarcasm she said, bye, bye then. Please do not patronize your customer. It’s just rude and very unprofessional. It does not create a feel good experience.
I have never been treated so poorly at a gym. I told her that she was rude and lacked customer service skills. My harshness really calmed her down. I hate that I had to be assertive with this lady but customers are important. People can say maybe we had a language barrier. I highly disagree! No reason to be rude with gesture, tone, and facial expression. They lost out on an opportunity to have a customer.

Always great and reliable aerobics classes and very clean gym with plenty of available equipment. Thanks!!!

First off I’ve been to crunch, La fitness, us1 fitness, golds gym, bally’s, david barton’s, and worlds gym. I like this gym the best; the staff is super friendly, and helpful and actually smile :) The equipment is not the newest but looks it, because the owners take constant care of their gym, weights are always stacked and the members are also nice, no douche-​bags or weirdos like crunch or La fitness. Its connected to the deuville hotel, and It has a spa next to it; and as a member you can use the dry and wet sauna. Outside there is a huge pool and a jacuzzi, beach chairs (so I can tan and read a book after my workout) there has a boardwalk next to the hotel, and of course the beach. I love going to that gym so far, its a vacation everyday.

Used the spa located next to the gym. Received a 1 hr Swedish massage and was an overall pleasant experience. The staff and manager were friendly and welcomed me when i arrived. My girlfriend got a mani and pedi which she enjoyed as well. Only complaint was hearing the bass from the gym next door.

I’ve been a member of Beach Body for over 2.5 years using everything from weights, cardio, tanning, supplements and salon. It’s got it all at a very reasonable price with membership access to the Deauville resort. The owner is consistently practicing Kaizen or the art of improvements.
Park across the street or the public parking lot 3 blocks South.
What’s not to like?!

I was a member for about a year and a half. I recently moved out of the state and tried canceling my membership. I was hung up on 3 times after stating I wanted to cancel my membership. Then I spoke to the manager who had to call me back. I was called back 3 days later following my membership monthly charge (of course!). Apparently the contract agreement has no moving clause and was forced to pay $ 250 up front to cancel my contract. The contract also automatically renews unless 2 months notice is given via writing upon the end of your year contract term.
Overall, the gym smells musty from water damage, the customer service is absolutely terrible and their contract is written to completely screw their customers since they don’t care about us anyways. The larger gyms are also half the price of this place. Stay away.

I’m pretty happy with my recent membership at Beach Body gym. The place has plenty of cardio equiptment and at least two of every weight machine. They also offer classes like Zumba and Spinning at no additional cost. There is an option to pay a little extra to use the hotel pool which looks nice but the beach is just a few steps away.
My favorite part about this gym… It’s never packed.

I’ve lived in Miami Beach, both Sobe and Nobe, for seven years. During that time, I’ve visited just about every gym: Crystal Beach, Iron Man, Gold’s, and just in the past couple of months Crunch, Equinox, David Barton with buddies, stuck in Sobe on the workout day, etc. But I only lift twice per week, so I’m not a meathead. The point is that I know what makes a good and bad gym from non-​extreme (mainstream) workout experience.
Beach Body has more variety than any of those gyms. I think DBarton has more duplicate benches and such, but Beach Body still has more variety. Take the abs machines. Beach Body has something like ten different machines, no exaggeration. I’d rather have ten different machines than five of two types, of course. But Beach Body still has quantity where needed, like with the treadmills and stairsteppers. There’s enough: I’ve never seen them full. And they’re the ones with personal TVs you can control! Wohoo! There are classes such as spinning and aerobics, kick boxing, etc.
What about wait times for stuff you need? It’s not really super packed during peak times, and mosdef less than Crunch during rushhour. Atmosphere? I see a normal mix of guys and girls, and everyone seems quite friendly, including me ;) Staff is extremely friendly, especially Mike.
Sure DBarton is more offthehook, but I’d hate for them to shut down halfway thru my annual paid membership! Prices seem on the par with the other gyms. They’ve even got a protein shake and café on-​site for after workout heathly nourishment.
