Amped Fitness (Tuttle) - Sarasota, Florida

This is by far the worst gym I've ever been too. It's absolutely disgusting inside. It looks like nobody dusts the equipment and they have literally the same rags to clean equipment that doesn't seem to ever get washed and just gets used over and over again with their cleaning spray whatever is inside it. There's a shortage of weights in the gym. Especially the 25 lb plates. They don't have weight trees that hold the weights. In other words they don't have a piece of equipment that holds all the weights like every other gym in the world. The weights are just randomly on different pieces of equipment so you literally have to walk 20-30 ft moving weights from one piece of equipment to the next. And that is no exaggeration.

There's a young petite blonde girl at the front desk that is extremely short and defensive with people and just doesn't seem like she wants to be there. She also works at the Beneva location, so watch out. I've asked her why is the equipment always seem to be dirty and weights never being put away. and she just states "we are short-staffed". No excuse.

I'll skip the men's bathroom because that's disgusting all the time. Tanning beds? You don't even want to know how much disgusting bacteria is in there.

They have multiple pieces of equipment not working at any given time. It's not like it's once in awhile, pieces of equipment are consistently not working. You pay for what you got is what it all comes down to. They have a cheap monthly fee. But you get what you pay for. There's too many other good gyms out there. I'm so happy I canceled my membership.

Let me tell you this, it's not the first location that's like this, they're all the same. I've been to the other locations, Beneva and the one in Bradenton, they are no different. Do yourself a favor and skip this gym.

Dropping my membership unless they get a cleaning crew!!! Under ALL THE MACHINES IS FILTHY, DUST BUNNIES EVERYWHERE!!! Under the Sauna bench (enclosed a board was loose months ago and the black mold was horrible, I mentioned it to the Manager with an easy fix... Nothing... Front windows are filthy... I've got health issues and cleanliness is important to me...

I have mixed feelings about this place. The pros are that it's generally not crowded, and people who work out here are pretty respectful. , clean bathrooms, and the staff seems to care about the place. So that's why I keep going.
I'm not that tickled with the management, as I've been flagged for piggybacking on another member.. Wait, two members going in together is flagged as a violation and if it happens again they charge you $50. If they looked up one face why didn't they look up both?
Also my workout partner left their water bottle at a station one time, and it disappeared. They looked everywhere for it. Then they went to the front desk the staff said " we don't have any from today"
they said well. "Will you look around?" Answer was " We have this one but it's been here for weeks" of course it was my workout partners water.,..
Also, they play music I don't particularly care for, and they play it way too loud. I measured it one day at 82 DB. They did turn it down after about an hour or so, but it pounds the senses. Maybe others like it.
So it's a mixed bag for me, if you bring your own headphones, you're probably okay. Just don't piggyback!

This gym is going downhill fast. Just over a year old and all of the equipment is constantly broken. Multiple holes in the walls. Not enough weights to fill their equipment. Missing lots of handles and attachments for pulley equipment. Yes I will keep working out there because it is cheap, but it is not a good gym. They have some serious maintenance they need to attend to. They should probably also have one employee work night shift because I assume that’s where most of the problems are coming up.

Been going here for over a year, it’s fine, not terrible but you can tell it has slid down the tubes since opening. Place has plenty of equipment. however, 45% of their cardio equipment is always broken. There is also a shortage on 25lb plates…so if you want to add any to your bench, bring yours from home with you.

You raised the price with no notice. A 50% increase. In addition the place is absolutely disgusting. The bathrooms are always gross with things left in the toilet, the equipment is always in poor condition. The staff is very rude. The spray and "rags" to wipe off equipment are never changed. I'll take my money elsewhere. Membership canceled.

This gym is ridiculous! They change personal trainers every week, so I had to start training with 3 different trainers in a span of 3 months and each time I lost one half hour training because we had to start all over again. Most of them are just improvised trainers to my opition. On top customer service is bad, personnel is mediocre and the music really sucks (many members are complaining about it) No wonder they all come with headsets. Don't waste your money, go somewhere else!

When I heard about the Women’s only ‘Babe Cave’ at Amped fitness I knew I needed to join. I feel safe and comfortable in there and the whole gym has new equipment is very clean with very friendly staff. Grace is my trainer and is super knowledgeable and has helped me meet my fitness goals.
