Downtown Athletic Club

08/27/2008 Posted by workandplay

Miami is one of those cities that is all about hype, the latest, the hottest, the most celebrities. I have been a member of the Downtown Athletic Club for 10 years and what I like best is that it is so friendly. Every time I walk in the staff speak to me and smile. The gym is clean and beautiful and they do not care if you are a star or a housewife, you are welcome and not judged by your outfit. Thank you and keep up the great work!

Pros: Staff, Location, Cleanliness, Trainers, Classes

Cons: 15th floor of a building

In response to "Miami's Worst Run Gym!" I am the general manager mentioned in the review. My dentist called to say how pleased he is that my teeth received such a positive review. For over 24 years the Downtown Athletic Club has worked hard to provide our members and guests with the best facilities and services possible in our neighborhood. Our number one priority is the well-being of our members and guests and sadly from time to time we are forced to revoke membership privileges of some members who act against the best interest of our organization. The gentleman who wrote the review is one such former member and personal trainer who was asked to leave our club. Unfortunately, he chose to take his cause to a public forum and spread untruthful information in an effort to damage us. Instead something interesting has happened. The level of support we have received from our members who have read his review has been overwhelming and and the number of people who have come to tour our facilities as a result has been a boon to our business. For any reader who is not sure about whether the Downtown Athletic Club is a fit for them, I invite you come by and visit us for your tour and free trial membership. I am confidant you will like what you see.

Pros: Smiles, Smiles, Smiles

Until I began working in downtown Miami, I had no clue the Downtown Athletic Club existed. It is a hidden treasure. I have been working out all my life and I have never seen a club that looks like this one - South Beach meets fitness - very cool. I love the staff. Very relaxed and friendly and class instructors are some of the best I have seen. I would like to see longer weekend hours, but overall I love the place.

Pros: Rock Wall, Staff, Instructors

Cons: Hours

I joined this Gym a couple of months ago, and eventhough it is partially under construction, the inconveniences are very minimum and also it is never full which is rarely nowdays in any other gym. I get to bit traffic by working out after hours and I can go at lunch time as well. Best option in Downtown Miami

Pros: Location, Inexpensive

Cons: Construction

i joined this place last year after they showed me an animated rendering of what the gym was going to look like after it got a thorough renovation. what i actually joined is a neverending construction zone. the gym is under perpetual renovation that never seems to come to an end. they have been going bit by bit with weeks/months between each bit. the result is that much of the gym still looks old and tired and there are constant construction-related inconveniences to the members. THIS IS NOT WHAT HAD BEEN PROMISED!

Pros: big, downtown, parking

Cons: constant construction, old facilities, misleading staff
