Why does North Beach have almost no decent gym options?
I live in North Beach / Miami Beach, and I honestly don’t understand why this area still has such limited gym options.
North Beach has been growing and developing, but when it comes to fitness, residents are basically stuck with very few choices. The main local gym option, Beach Body Health Club on Collins Ave, is in really poor condition and somehow is now listed as a “Premium” gym through Active&Fit Direct.
The equipment is old, worn out, and poorly maintained. A lot of machines have torn upholstery, visible damage, rust, dirt, and the place often does not feel clean or sanitary. The AC barely works, and from what I’ve seen, the overall condition of the gym is far below what most people would expect from a “premium” facility.
North Beach really needs better gym options. With all the residential buildings, new development, and people living here, it feels crazy that we don’t have a clean, modern, well-maintained gym nearby.
Does anyone else feel the same way? Why hasn’t a better gym opened in North Beach yet — Planet Fitness, YouFit, Anytime Fitness, Crunch, or any other full-service gym? There is clearly demand here.
