I have been coming here for 10 months and DJ has changed my view on weight lifting. This is a very special community of people who are all very supportive and motivating. The classes are challenging and the environment is welcoming. 10/10 would recommend.

I’ve been going to Apex for four years now and you can’t pay me to leave. Through living in another city, injuries and life LIFE-ING, this gym has been consistent and my safe place. I’ve come for early morning classes, during work breaks, after work, etc. and DJ and the coaches are always on point, supportive and knowledgeable. It’s a completely judge free zone and the other members are always friendly and helpful. I’ve accomplished physical goals that I never imagined I could. My son also trained with coach DJ for sports conditioning and couldn’t wait to come to classes. I could go on forever about all of the reasons Apex should be your new home gym but you should come check it out for yourself - FIRST CLASS IS FREE ;)

I’ve been training at Apex Performance for about 10 months now, and I can honestly say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health and fitness. What truly sets this gym apart is the coaching. Coach DJ is simply outstanding. He’s not only knowledgeable and experienced, but also genuinely invested in each member’s progress. Whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, he knows exactly how to challenge you while keeping things safe (this is subjective lol) and motivating. The energy, attention to form, and personalized feedback makes every class worthwhile.

Also, how could I leave out the support, encouragement, and camaraderie in this space? It’s unmatched. Apex isn’t just where we train, it’s where we show up for each other. I highly recommend Apex to anyone looking for real results with the guidance of a great coach and supportive environment.

I’ve been going to this gym for about three months now and I can confidently say it’s one of the best fitness environments I’ve been part of. The gym is always well maintained, and there’s a great variety of equipment for every type of workout.

I also have the membership that includes training sessions with Coach DJ, and it’s truly the best training I’ve ever experienced. DJ keeps every session challenging, motivating, and fun. His energy is contagious, and he really pushes you to be your best. He makes coming to the gym something I genuinely look forward to.

Highly recommend for anyone looking for a clean, well-equipped gym with amazing coaching and a supportive atmosphere.

If you're searching for a gym that offers a personalized experience, look no further than Apex. Personally, I opted for their 1:1 boxing sessions to add some variety to my workout routine. Coach Sam is incredibly knowledgeable and will push you to your limits. Despite being in good shape, I haven't tried their other classes, but they offer a diverse range, including strength, boxing, youth, HIIT, and nutrition classes.

However, what truly sets Apex apart is its wonderful community. The people there are incredibly friendly and supportive, regardless of your fitness level. It's a welcoming environment that motivates you to do your best. If you're looking for a gym with excellent coaching and a positive atmosphere, Apex is definitely the place to be.

Apex is the best gym in Tampa!! To start the community of support, motivation and to be the best version of yourself is what stands out the most. The trainers are always there to motivate you. They’re going to push you to the limits but all out of love to push you towards greatness! The gym is never over crowded with people, everyone is SO friendly and welcoming into their community. This gym is a family and it makes it so easy to get up everyday to workout. The equipment is welcoming to all skill sets, there is never a feeling of overwhelming judgement, the comforting environment allows for everyone to feel welcomed and work towards their own personal goals. APEX is the place to be !!

Apex is amazing! My 7 year old son recently started their youth program, he’s learned so much and absolutely loves all the coaches. The program is great for kids training for sports or just for their overall health. The class is challenging yet easy to follow for all ages. Highly recommend checking them out for you and your kiddos!

As someone that’s worked in the fitness industry in NYC and then the Tampa Bay Area I have to say that this gym is without a doubt the best I’ve been to. They’re in a league of their own all around and have created a supportive family environment that you look forward to coming to everyday .
If you’re looking to take your fitness goals to the next level , this is the place .

As an athlete I’ve been working out my whole life. I thought I knew the best ways to push my body to achieve my fitness goals… I was wrong. I started training at Apex in February this year. I could immediately see my body molding within the first week. The gym has a very positive/ motivating environment. D.J(CEO) and the staff are extremely knowledgeable in helping anyone achieve their own personal fitness goals. Whether you’re an experienced member or a novice in nutrition/working out, Apex is the gym for you. #1 gym in Tampa, Fl !!!!
Apex offers a variety of options to meet your fitness goals & all coaches truly want to understand your fitness goals and needs.
I personally have opted for a mix of personalized coaching & classes and both programs are exceptional.

The vibes across the board are on point and it is truly a supportive community of individuals that are both tackling their personal fitness goals and simultaneously supporting others within the facility.

You’ll leave feeling trust in your coach, the programs, and accomplished after every workout.

10/10 recommend.

I’ve been attending this gym for about two months and my results are amazing. The trainers at Apex provides not only great customer service but strive to push you to meet your physical and nutritional goals. Unlike most commercial gyms, the environment is friendly and family-oriented so its feels homey.

10/10 recommend, the best in Tampa ❤️
