Let's talk about it, I LOVE THIS GYM, but what I absolutely HATE is when the "Buttercup Poledance" has dancing "competitions". This quote on quote competition brings in the WORST crowd of people who don't have their health values in line with the rest of the atmosphere of athletes putting in work. Whether it's them showing up in nipple pasties, completely clear clothing, or metal chain mail with their privates CLEARLY VISIBLE; during regular business hours its completely inappropriate. ESPECIALLY when there are children working out WITH their parents! The "competitors" destroy the bathroom with glitter, "lotion", walk all over the Trench field ruining it with their stripper heels on, and leave trash everywhere. Take your champagne and nipple competition elsewhere.

Unbearable to work out here on Sundays. The music they play here is awful on Sundays. Just foul language rap. The Facility overall is ok. Equipment is anywhere from old and worn out to decent. Nothing terribly new or exciting. I'm not sure how clubs like EOS and Crunch that want $10/mo can afford all the newest and best stuff and a $30-$40/month gym can't. The music they play on Sundays is downright awful. It's like walking down Compton on a Friday night. You would think they could play a mix. Or something not blasting cuss words. After 3 months I've noticed it seems to only be on Sundays. I'm going to try a new club for Sundays and maybe break up with this one all together.

Ventured out of Clearwater for a drop-in visit, and now considering moving to Tampa just to be closer to this gym. I absolutely LOVED it here! For having a reputation as a serious bodybuilding gym, there was zero intimidation factor. George at the front desk could not have been any lovelier, and I actually sort of miss him already.Had an excellent training experience and really appreciated the layout and variety of equipment. Even had a little FOMO for the lower body stuff that we were not training that day (guess we will just have to go back!). There was also a neat turf area for plyo's and D1 style training set-up.There is also an attached café serving up made to order protein shakes and "Fresh Kitchen" style meals. I was not expecting to be overwhelmed with the shake and meal we got afterward, but they are doing it better than Fresh Kitchen! The staff was super friendly with offering favorites/suggestions for choosing meal components and the food was unbelievably good.Highly recommend for any gym rat that just wants to stop in for a little adventure, or for anyone local looking for a home gym (I'm jealous).

This is a serious gym for serious workouts. I’m in town for work and found Powerhouse Gym. Tons of equipment. Lots of dumbbells. Cardio machines galore. Super friendly staff. Yeah. I found the right spot.

Awesome equipment and atmosphere however I did not like that I was told that if you live in Tampa you’ll get a pass for the day I stated that I live in New Tampa and then I am told “it needs to be within a 5 mile radius” next time don’t say Tampa resident and say live within 5 mile radius which I’m not sure how you would determine. Plus the rude and unwelcoming demeanor of the bald front desk worker did not help.

This is by far one of the best gyms that I've been to so far. I must say that the gym is clean, staff is respectful & courteous, the equipment is in good condition & well maintained. This is the perfect gym if you're training either powerlifting or bodybuilding. In addition to that, from the pictures bellow, the gym has a sauna, a care center for kids while you workout & also personalize training for young athletes (TRENCH), cardioequipment as well as a couple of sandbags & a boxing/MMA ring in the event you fail your a PR & need to let off some steam. Pricing wise, I would say that it is reasonable given all that they're offering. I should also mention that the calibrated plates showed belongs to another gym that also trains there, thus they're off-limit for safety reasons. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone traveling to the area. It's judgment & intimidation free. Give it a try, stay fit & healthy while in the area.

So I definitely don't do reviews like this often but felt like I need to. This gym is a complete disaster. Never in my life have I felt like I jumped into an alternate reality than when I visited this location. I've had a membership at the Brandon Power House location for about 6 months now. I will be transferring to Tampa to be closer to my work soon, so I figured I could check out this location to see about transferring my membership. The young girl working the desk on Sunday is laughable at best. I mean she has got to be the owners daughter. There is no way she can be a regular employee with the skimpy clothes she had on and the foul words falling out of her mouth. When I first walked in, nobody was at the front welcome desk. So I looked around for a couple of minutes while I was waiting. I noticed a girl off to the side by some tables they have set up, and she was talking to a middle age man about really vulgar and sexual topics. I was close enough to hear exactly what she was talking about and let's just say GROSS! After 3-4 minutes she noticed me standing there and and said oh hey just a minute and kept talking. Finally after 2-3 more minutes she came over and greeted me. I was floored she was the employee representing this gym. This was so unprofessional I just know she isn't a regular employee. I asked if I could try the gym out since I have a membership at the Brandon location and would be moving to Tampa soon, but she said she couldn't. She said she doesn't know how to set that up and said I would have to pay the $20 daily fee in cash only. I asked if could at least walk around and look at the gym. She said sure but to be quick because she could get in trouble. So I walked around and overall wasn't impressed. The equipment looks pretty old and worn out, but not trashed. A few pieces of equipment had out of order signs on them. By far the worst thing about the gym was the awful music they had blasting at extremely high volume. The clientele seemed like a much younger crowd. There were a lot of scowls to go around and overall I did not feel a positive vibe at all. During my short visit I noticed the front desk girl leaning the area, to hang around what seemed to be her boyfriend, who appeared to be an employee too. Other times, he would be at the front desk hanging with her while they ignored people coming in. I remember the powerhouse at downtown and I think this is the same owners. I do not know what happened because this location is nothing like the old downtown location which was amazing. What an utter disappointment and I definitely won't be moving my membership here when I move to Tampa in a few weeks.

Best gym I've ever been to. There is a great atmosphere, and there's all the equipment you could ever need to achieve your fitness goals. Additionally, the aspect I find most desirable is the staff. George and Juan at the front desk are wonderful people. They're always unbelievably friendly, and have always made me feel welcome. At this point they're my friends and I much respect for them. Honestly the staff as a whole is great, the owner, and all the workers. They're quick to resolve problems and are all down to earth. I don't see how this could be rated less than a five start but hey, that's just me.

Whoever gave this gym anything less than a 5 star review either owns a competing gym or is a complete idiot. Ive traveled all around the country and this is by far the best gym i have ever been to. Bought a 2 year membership on the spot. The owner Eddy and the manager Juan are awesome ppl.

Awesome gym. There's plenty of cardio equipment, weights, and cables. The turf is excellent for pushing yourself to the max at the end of leg day. Restrooms are always clean and operational, there's ice cold water fountains, and equipment is well kept. There's always someone at the front desk to greet you on your way in and wish you a good day/night on your way out. I highly recommend this gym for anyone who's thinking of signing up.
