Rift Fitness - Clearwater (FL)

5 /5 Paola Sofia: Rift has been an amazing addition to my health and fitness routine. I have been doing PT with Rian and have noticed the improvement in my strength and physique so fast. I have had many trainers before but I feel like he is the best I’ve had and has focused on the things I told him I wanted to prioritize and work. He combines a very well thought out routine of compound movements and accessory movements that complement each other so well that I get stronger noticeably every week. The saunas, cold plunges and gym area are really nice as well and very clean. Would recommend this gym for any person in any level of fitness.

5 /5 Stephen Fabyan: John was phenomenal. He trains people with the same standards he holds himself to. That means no fluff. No gimmicks. Just real strength, conditioning, and mobility work that actually carries over to your life and your job. I’ve trained in plenty of facilities and most of them talk big about “functional fitness.” Rift Fitness actually delivers it. The coaching is hands-on. The programming is clear and you feel the difference fast. Whether you’re trying to move better, drop weight or stay in shape for your job; this place gives you exactly what you need. If you want a gym that pushes you, teaches you and doesn’t baby you. Rift Fitness is it. Stop pretending your current routine is “good enough.” Go here and find out what real training feels like.

5 /5 Steve Outlaw: Rift has been an awesome place to train. The coaches are encouraging and really know how to push you without making the workouts feel overwhelming. The community there is friendly, supportive, and genuinely excited to see each other improve. Overall, it’s a place where you walk in feeling welcomed and walk out feeling stronger.

5 /5 Julie Sanders: Love this gym!! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by friendly, helpful staff. The trainers are fantastic, the best I’ve run into over the years. They know what they’re doing, and they really listen to you and your needs and obstacles. The trainers are always right there and ready/willing to help. The atmosphere is super cool, and you don’t get the “corporate chain” feel at all. Very boutique and personal, with great, top of the line equipment and amenities. A shout out to one of the trainers, Gabe Sanders, who sets a new standard for all trainers! Love them all, you gotta check them out!

5 /5 Jack Tedeschi: I’ve been doing construction work at Rift Fitness for the past 2–3 months, and in that time I’ve gotten to see the gym and its team from the inside out. Every single day, the staff has been nothing but welcoming, kind, and incredibly easy to work with. Even though I wasn’t there as a member, they treated me with the same respect and friendliness they show their clients. I also want to highlight the owner, Ben Gilbert. Ben isn’t just an outstanding gym owner who genuinely cares about every person who walks through his doors—he’s also a truly great person and a great friend. His passion for creating a positive environment shows in everything he does, and it’s clear why Rift Fitness has the reputation it does. After spending months on-site, I can honestly say there is no gym I would recommend more highly than Rift Fitness. The culture, the people, and the leadership are second to none
