Amped Fitness (Pinellas Park)

The staff is pretty unfriendly. The equipment is okay. The 24 hour access is through an app that constantly has issues, and you will receive random emails if someone else checks in behind you. I was charged an additional fee after I canceled my membership because I am moving out of state. When asked about the fee, I was told it is an annual fee. I asked the worker why would I be getting charged an annual fee when I am moving out of state and will not be able to used the gym anyways and he had no answer and simply ignored my question. I would recommend either searching for a better run gym that values the members it has.

If I could leave 0 stars and still review it, I would. I recently moved down to Pinellas Park from New York City with my partner, and Amped seemed like a great place for us to go… unfortunately, it has been everything but great. I was signed up for a membership without being disclosed the sign-up fees or annual fees, whatever it was that I was charged $56 for two months in… I didn’t even know they had an outside area in the back until three months into my membership, because that was not included on my tour… Weights are never re-racked, there are better vibes at a Planet Fitness. Sarah & Jess, the front desk manager and general manager, are extremely disappointing. The energy is very high-school cliquey, which is odd… since everyone is an adult. Sarah is highly unprofessional & uneducated, I’m TRULY not sure how she obtained this position… like seriously. I don’t know how. Maybe she knows someone who owns the branch? Or is best friends with the GM? She doesn’t know what she’s doing. I love supporting my fellow women, but girls, this ain’t it… please do better, if not for the gym, for yourselves. This gym needs help. Unfortunately I know this review will simply insight a pasted reply with an email to a “support” staff, only to be overlooked and disregarded, because this chain of gyms has no clue how to maintain good or even subpar customer service. Look into hiring some new managers as a starting point. This location is in desperate need of it. Seriouslyyy disappointed. (4 months in & I’m already canceling my membership😭)

I joined this gym a year ago but very quickly realized it’s not as great as many people claim. It’s entirely too small for the amount of people that workout here and has limited equipment. Good luck if you’re working out around 5pm. Only 2 real weightlifting platforms that are always taken by huge groups of people at all hours of the day… absolutely unacceptable. The outside area is uneven and obviously neglected which is a major safety hazard. Definitely the most unclean gym I’ve ever been to which is very disappointing (ex: dead cockroaches, rusty machines, grime all over floor, weights never put back, etc). The childcare room is also too small for the amount of kids that utilize it. I drive 30 mins in rush hour traffic to go to the Tyrone location because it’s phenomenal in comparison to this location. I would love to be able to workout here since it’s closer to my house but it’s inconvenient in so many ways. Take notes from the Tyrone location and do better. (Giving it 2 stars because it’s slightly better than Crunch and has the potential to be a better gym).

Okay gym with minimal, basic equipment. However the staff is another story. They will bold face LIE about members and get them banned. Completely invade locker room privacy and attack you for questioning it. They IGNORE or do nothing about repeated security threats, like people who don't workout at all sleeping in the sauna, vip room, locker room, bathroom stall, and massage chair in the early morning, non staffed hours. Broken equipment will take months to be repaired, and hardly anyone re-racks their weights. So if you don't mind not feeling safe while you work out from both the staff and environment, this is your spot!

Don't waste your time if you need to go outside of staffed hours. They advertise 24 hours but there's constant issues with the app for the door access. They dont care and are very rude and unhelpful. Management is a joke... hanging out at the front desk gossiping about members. Going to the gym is already intimidating for some ppl, so ppl like that make us not want to go at all. Going to cancel as soon as I can make back there to do so cause the employee behavior and lack of access is unacceptable. Don't recommend this location to anyone.

Be cautious when canceling your membership at this location. I wasn’t be able to come in this gym location for months because relocated to new Tampa. They didn’t cancel on phone so I arrived in person to cancel my membership with them in early of June . The young guy had me to sign everything for my cancellation, but I received no emails from them confirming my cancellation. However, I wasn't paying attention at that time. Recently I noticed that they are still charging me monthly till August . I returned to let them know, and they said they couldn't tell whether I canceled or not in June. I also did not receive a refund for overcharging. What a fool! make sure to get confirmation of your membership cancellation before you leave!

Don't sign up here! You're better off going to any other gym than this one. Read the other reports filed against Amped and especially the ones about failure to cancel contracts due to "incorrect" billing addresses. BBB and the Federal Trade Commission all have their eyes on not only this business but the higher ups due to shady businesses. Avoid talking to the blonde, swollen lipped, female manager she knows nothing and will lie about everything.

I recently started back in the gym, and I honestly chose Amped Fitness in Pinellas Park because it’s close to my house. However, I have to say it’s a great gym with amazing employees and trainers. The atmosphere is top tier! Everyone is friendly and in great moods from start to finish! Jessica was my first contact and she made me feel right at home. I was looking for personal training and she paired me with Shayna. And so far I have been over the moon with this decision. Shay makes me feel great and keeps me in line. She is not only knowledgeable, but also makes the workout fun! I am already seeing results and I can’t wait to see where I’ll be with her help in 6 mo and even a year! If you’re looking for a solid gym and an incredible trainer who works with you and FOR you, choose Amped Fitness in Pinellas Park and Shanya!
