Find the Best Gym Near You: Top [12] Fitness Centers in Sarasota, FL

Robin J Can I just tell you that I LOVE this gym!!! It has everything I need for a challenging, full body work out AND I can work out when it’s convenient for me! I never have to wait for equipment, I never feel like it’s crowded…the members are respectful and considerate. The personal training is stellar and reasonably priced. The owner, Shane, is friendly and supportive of the members and our health and fitness goals.

Chasity Cupicake Today was my first time at this park, and it did not disappoint. Initially, the park doesnt seem like much, but after the first few feet, you get a fork in the path; I chose to go right. Instantly I am bombarded with Floridas infamous beauty. To each side of me, there are cabbage palms, grand oaks, and canopy after canopy of green waterfalls as I walk down the paved path. As Im walking, I come across a lake. Once I approach the lake, I can see little heads bobbing from the water; they are turtles, they gollow me as a cross a bridge. Next, I come across different species of ducks, a few bunnies, and squirrels, of course. An hour later, my guy and I call it a day. This park is among the most active with people and animals. What a beautiful way to end a beautiful day. BONUS: There is a dog park along the trail!

Kelly Bruno 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.

AM Great place to get a lift in, no matter the split. More importantly, the leadership here is fantastic. Vince, the manager, is the reason this place feels so welcoming and well-maintained. He will hook you up! Highly recommend

Igor Furtuna I’ve noticed a recurring issue with Planet Fitness locations across different states: front desk staff often don’t greet members when they walk in or acknowledge them on the way out. Many times, they’re chatting among themselves instead of paying attention, and I end up scanning myself in while they continue their conversations. It makes me wonder if this lack of engagement is part of the corporate culture being adopted across gyms. Additionally, I visit the Sarasota location several times a year, and one consistent problem is the free weight rack. It’s almost always disorganized, with weights scattered and out of place, making it difficult to find what you need. For a gym of this size, I’d expect better attention to detail and member experience.

Enkeboll Camille (Art) SRQ Health and Fitness is an awesome private gym, super clean, well-equipped, and full of great energy. I just joined the team and couldn’t be happier with the level of expertise among the trainers. The owners, Jen and Dario, are amazing, so knowledgeable, kind, professional, and truly warm and welcoming to everyone that walks in the door.

Jules Price Mike Davis has forever changed the way I view and approach fitness. His dedication and passion for helping his students understand alignment and proper technique is rare and unparalleled. His overall program works as a whole to create total conditioning, strength, control and beauty of movement. Hes fun and caring yet strict, creative yet structured, and has a lovingly relentless hunger for knowledge that keeps things fresh and relevant every day. The people at the gym are kind and open, even to those who arent as athletically gifted. Im excited for my continued journey to become my "best me," and highly recommend that you try Hybrid Strength Club for yourself.

Linda Einisman I can’t say enough about Michele She’s a dedicated professional Who has enriched and encouraged my life . After my hip replacement surgery she encourage me to use my new hip to feel better about myself. I always leave her gym feeling 100% better than when I walked in!

Alyssa Holcomb As a (relative) gym newbie, HER Fitness is the most welcome and accommodating place to focus on physical (and mental) health. I’m really enjoying my personal training sessions with Lila so far. She is patient and very encouraging. The whole staff has been very kind and open as I’ve started my fitness journey there. Looking forward to continuing down the path to wellness with these awesome ladies at my side!

Cameron Smith This was the perfect gym with everything I needed to keep things ticking over whilst on holiday. Bruce the owner was such a great guy and we all loved chatting to him each morning. The gym itself was spotless, quiet and had great facilities! Would definitely recommend, big up Bruce!

Priscilla Gratton Great workout for only 20 minutes. The studio is squeaky clean, music is great and the coaches are fun, friendly and motivating! Im an equestrian and golfer and can feel the improvement in both, in just 6 visits. Pretty amazing since I used to workout at home. I guess I wasnt pushing it hard enough Lol. I would recommend!

Michelle Dempsey Kathryn is truly one of a kind for personal training! She challenges me in ways I would’ve never pushed myself, and I’ve seen such a difference in both strength and confidence because of her guidance. She’s incredibly precise with form—always making sure I’m moving correctly and giving 100% every session. You can tell how much she cares and how much expertise she brings to every rep. Kathryn also brings great energy, makes you feel supported, and somehow makes even the hardest sessions feel enjoyable. If you’re looking for a trainer who will push you, support you, and help you grow in all the right ways, Kathryn is it. 5 stars all the way—highly, highly recommend!
