Powerhouse Gym Athletic Club

You could tell that once upon a time, this gym was ahead of its time. Seems now that the owners have stopped caring for this gym or its members. Everything is out of date. The free weights, the static machines, cardio equipment, the cables machine, sauna, everything is falling apart. You can’t change or adjust the weight on most of the machines because they’re either stuck or broken. The cables are tearing apart, the weights are stuck, the handles are disgustingly rusted and the hygiene is one of the worst standards. There’s an injury right around every corner of this gym. A little scared for myself at times if something will collapse and send me to the hospital at any moment. Every time I come here, I wind up leaving with a sore throat or waking up with a fever the next day, guaranteed. This gym has been roughly treated and lived in very hard. The sauna barely warms up because they have a tiny cheap unit that heats up a big room, but the door opens every 2 seconds and doesn’t keep up with the traffic in and out. The water pressure in the shower trickles so it’s very tough to shower. For the price of what this place is, I just don’t see the value. Eos and Crunch might be a lot busier, however they offer much more of a modern and comfortable experience. At least you can find reliable machines that aren’t half broken or falling apart. I really hope I can get out of this 12 month contract soon because I’ve really had it here. Definitely not the powerhouse experience you expect to have with the brand.

This is by far one of the best gyms that I've been to so far. I must say that the gym is clean, staff is respectful & courteous, the equipment is in good condition & well maintained. This is the perfect gym if you're training either powerlifting or bodybuilding. In addition to that, from the pictures bellow, the gym has a sauna, a care center for kids while you workout & also personalize training for young athletes (TRENCH), cardioequipment as well as a couple of sandbags & a boxing/MMA ring in the event you fail your a PR & need to let off some steam. Pricing wise, I would say that it is reasonable given all that they're offering. I should also mention that the calibrated plates showed belongs to another gym that also trains there, thus they're off-limit for safety reasons. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone traveling to the area. It's judgment & intimidation free. Give it a try, stay fit & healthy while in the area.

Great staff, lots of equipment, and plenty of square footage of fun! The gym features an array of standard machines and more. They offer many exciting and out-of-the-box supplementary services. It is close to the airport, so it is very accessible. It is the only gym I have seen with a serious or non-serious kids' development sports program. AMAZING! BTW, 1 X (out of three(XXX)) in sight. There is lots more that I could write about this exciting gym, but I need you save my arm for some curls. 💪💪

Ventured out of Clearwater for a drop-in visit, and now considering moving to Tampa just to be closer to this gym. I absolutely LOVED it here! For having a reputation as a serious bodybuilding gym, there was zero intimidation factor. George at the front desk could not have been any lovelier, and I actually sort of miss him already. Had an excellent training experience and really appreciated the layout and variety of equipment. Even had a little FOMO for the lower body stuff that we were not training that day (guess we will just have to go back!). There was also a neat turf area for plyo's and D1 style training set-up. There is also an attached café serving up made to order protein shakes and "Fresh Kitchen" style meals. I was not expecting to be overwhelmed with the shake and meal we got afterward, but they are doing it better than Fresh Kitchen! The staff was super friendly with offering favorites/suggestions for choosing meal components and the food was unbelievably good. Highly recommend for any gym rat that just wants to stop in for a little adventure, or for anyone local looking for a home gym (I'm jealous).
