UHealth Fitness & Wellness Center

Nice, clean, kinda of new gym with knowlegable staff. Mostly occupied by medical campus and court house employees. Very affordable, between $ 40 – 50 a month with an incentive program that gives you 20% back after contunues use.
They offer different classes like yoga, spinning, pulates, zumba, bootcamps, etc… they also have a variety of machines and enough free weights in the weight room. Since its located on the 9^th floor of the building, the panoramic view of miami is beautiful. They also have a large locker room with sauna & steam room and a small aqua pool used for rehab. This gym is always spotless.

This is a great gym! There is no monthly commitment required and the rates are really low.
You can also pay per visit. The first visit is also free!
They have a great listing of classes and the locker room has lockers, sauna, steam room, etc.
It’s also great that they open really early and the parking garage gives free parking for early birds.

I love this gym, it is affordable and has everything you need. I like that they offer an array of classes at convenient times. It is always clean and well maintained. It offers sauna, steam room and hot tubs in each male/​female locker room. I also like that there is a Pasha’s on the same floor so you can get that smoothie right after yoga practice!

I’ve gone to almost every gym in Miami and hands down this is the best one ever. Here’s why:
1. It’s affordable and they allow you to pay month by month. If you’re a student you get a discount.
2. They offer locker rentals for only $ 10.00 a month.
3. They give you access to free work out towels and bath towels with no additional fees.
4. They have a jacuzzi, sauna and steam room for the men and the women.
5. They provide free parking during specific hours– 5 am– 8am and 5pm till 9 pm.
6. They have 2 huge floors filled with equipment I’ve never seen before. It’s all high tech stuff that the University of Miami Sports Medicine supports.
7. None of the equipment is broken. When it is they fix it immediately whereas 24 hour fitness has a ton of equipment that’s always broken.
8. They have an in house Mediterranean café with great prices and a healthy menu.
9. They offer training at only $ 40 /​hr whereas you pay almost $ 60/​hr at 24 hr fitness.
10. The place has AC !
11. The water fountains conveniently located offer cold water all the time.
12. The gym is always empty.
13. Offers the best views over the 836. The sunsets are amazing.
14. They offer all the latest classes like Zumba etc
15. You get to work out with all the Doctors from Jackson Memorial hospital and the University of Miami hospital! And they’re super good looking. So if you’re single you have no excuse!
The downfall??? They’re closed on Sunday’s.
If your running over to LA FITNESS AND 24 hour fitness you’re getting ripped off my Unilocal FRIENDS.
I’ve tried to hide this secret gem… But I must share it with you!!!
This is honestly the best gym ever!

Hidden gem of a gym. Coming here for the last 4 years or more. Well equipped with out the stress of what to dress or wear or how do you look. This gym is for people commited with their health no the looks! I recommend it to anyone even to the healthy fashion pals :-)

Great gym. The best in Miami, reasonable membership fee. Has all the machines for work out and training. I would have give 4 star because the parking is not free bet 9am to 3pm… and gym is close on Sundays. but there is a free towel and the gym is clean for real…

This gym could be so much better, because it is a great place, but…
1. The women’s bathroom is so dirty, the toilets are broken and discussing, there is garbage everywhere. I couldn’t use the bathroom after my work out, because it was filthy.
2. There are dirty towels everywhere.
3. They need more garbage cans. This way people are not forced to throw the garbage on the floor. Why are there 20 recycling containers but only one garbage can!
4. People do not clean their machines after they work out. Staff need to educate the members and post information.
5. There are only two small televisions, and they are located in a corner away from the view of the people working out.
6. There is no music :(
7. The machines have rust on them, and the ones you want to use have posted notices not to use, because they are for therapy.
Other than that, the gym is okay.

Update: my membership was eventually cancelled after I posted my original review.
Looking back on it, I realize that I left too low of a rating based on the troubles I had ending my membership. I’ll take one star off for that ordeal.
All in all, it is a very nice gym. It is very clean and has a large selection of equipment.

This is hands down the best gym in Miami! Not only does it have one of the best views in town, it is truly a 5 star facility. It does not suffer from the symptoms of most gyms: it is not overcrowded, it’s clean and organized, and has the best equipment in the best conditions.
As soon as you walk in, you are offered a towel. The locker rooms are huge and very clean, so you can comfortably change before and shower after a workout.
Downstairs you have treadmills and bikes, ellipticals, and my favorite: the free weights. They have a wide variety of machines to stack your plates up on, dumbbells, squat rack, benches, etc. The best thing of all: they are all neatly stacked.
However, if that’s not really your thing, you can go upstairs and find MORE cardio (stairmaster, ladder, more treadmills, more ellipticals, etc.) and the regular weight/​cable machines as well.
They also have a variety of classes (yoga, abs, spinning, zumba) and I’ve heard the instructors are amazing. They truly have all the tools!
Seriously, this is the best gym I’ve ever been to. I rarely have to wait to use a machine, and it almost makes me emotional how clean and organized it is. I am so glad the secret’s not out yet!

It’s been three months now and I can honestly say that I am still just as thrilled with the UM med & wellness center as I was when I first started working out here. I have been to many gyms — pricey and not. And UM rocks my socks!
I am a huge fan of group classes and the number of classes here is out of control. Yoga, Pilates, Hip Hop, Zumba, Bellydance, Spin — you name it, they got it. Not only are the classes numerous, but they actually incredible. All of the instructors are great at what they do. My favs so far are Pilates & circuit training with Esther (she’s totally a badass), interval training and the abundance of yoga classes.
Classes not your thing? Well, there’s also a huge cardio, weight and circuit machine area as well. Not all in one room, but spread out into their own separate areas, with floor-​to-​ceiling windows looking out over Miami to the east and the sun setting over the 836 to the west. There’s a pool for water aerobics & physical therapy too! From these areas, you can get pumped up while watching all the super tense folks stuck in traffic. (Schadenfreude, I know, I know, but I just can’t help it sometimes.) Anyhoo, if you are lucky enough to get to join this gym, do it without a moment’s hesitation. The U does not disappoint!

This is the best gym I’ve been a member of. Is right at work so I don’t have to drive anywhere. They have plenty of classes and the instructors are all excellent people. They have everything you’d hope to find in a gym, so whatever you are into, you’ll probably find it here.

Few people outside the UHealth system know that there’s a gym here, and I’m a little hesitant to post a review and draw attention to it (I like having no wait time for the use of the equipment). It’s at the top of a parking garage, connected to the University of Miami’s clinical research building. It’s a pretty small gym (nowhere near the size of the University of Miami’s main recreation center on the Coral Gables campus) frequented by doctors, nurses, and researchers, along with a few random community members. There are a good number of treadmills and ellipticals (I’ve never had to wait) and they have a good selection of free weights and machines.
The main reason why I’m writing this review is to call attention to the daily group exercise classes that the wellness center offers, included with the membership. I think this is a great deal for the price. There’s the standard bootcamp-​like, spinning, aqua (small pool available for aerobics use) and yoga classes, but what this gym really excels at are its dance class offerings. Shout-​out to Dunia, Joanna and Jessica for making Zumba and Cardio Hip-​Hop classes that really kick your butt.
The only thing that I would change is the weekend schedule. The gym closes around 2 pm on Saturdays and is not open on Sundays. I think this is because the majority of the gym customers are UHealth employees, but it’d still be nice to have the option of lifting some weights on Sunday afternoon.
I think there’s some sort of week-​long free trial available if you ask at the front desk.
