I’ve been doing group fitness for many years and this is by far the best gym I’ve been to, ever.The amazing coaches here, including Gage, Eric, BJ, and Ashley, program great workouts and guide you through an intense but fun hour of high intensity work. The atmosphere is chill and friendly, non competitive but at the same time motivational. I look forward to making time to show up and work out every day, and I’m someone who in the past wouldn’t prioritize a workout. I’ve seen really incredible results in my personal fitness journey all thanks to this gym.

If you’ve been looking for a perfect gym, this is the place. Enormous facility with all the specialized equipment you can dream of. Ski machines, rowers, tire flips, assault treadmills, bikes, every machine, weight and slam ball/wall ball under the sun. The gym is spotlessly clean. You can do personal training and small group training along with boot camp classes offered at multiple times throughout the day, every day of the week. A diverse group of trainers give you a different class and experience every time. Unlimited boot camp is included with small group and personal training and the price really can’t be beat. Owned by a husband/wife team, Mike and Letitia. Mike is a veteran Marine so be prepared for an intense class when he is instructing! Give this place a try. Great place to work out and you’ll quickly feel like family with the employees and other people there.

I’ve been going to True Grit Fit for almost 5 years now and all the while I’ve had the pleasure of doing strength training with Eric ! True professional, cares about your progress and doesn’t sugarcoat anything. The gym is awesome, great to go to a place that’s veteran and family owned.

TGF has surprisingly grown to be a big part of my life and routine. I have never been part of a gym community nor have I ever taken gym classes till recent. When I moved to Tampa I was looking for a place I could meet new people and be part of the community. To my surprise, TGF has developed way more than I bargained for. I have very close relationships with the training staff and I have a great group of friends that keep me accountable. Thanks for changing my goals from a day to day workout to a lifestyle

I joined TGF about two months ago after being a member of similar group class gyms in the area. The gym is packed with high end equipment and kept extremely clean. The workouts are challenging and push you to progress. The trainers Gage, Eric, BJ and Ashley are all highly motivating! They take the time to clearly explain the workout, answer questions, and guide you when/where needed. I look forward to my workouts everyday at TGF!

My husband and I have been attending TGF for over a year now and we love it! We have tried many gyms together and this is the best fit for us. The trainers are super knowledgeable, helpful and very inclusive. They offer group fitness classes throughout the day that are VERY accommodating for busy schedules. If you are looking for a gym that is challenging, welcoming and overall fun, this is the gym. Eric, Gage, and Ashley are all amazing! We also love surprise classes by BJ!

After a 4 month hiatus I finally found a gym for me in Tampa!! Love the atmosphere, intensity, consistency and encouragement of this gym! All around fantastic gym and highly recommended! Gage and Eric are true professionals and guarantee a challenging but effective workout everytime ! 5 stars!!

My wife, Anita, and I have been regular boot camp goers for many years. We've participated in different programs around the bay area, and True Grit Fit is our favorite. Everyone, from the staff to fellow boot campers, are very welcoming. The trainers are excellent with a different boot camp experience each session, so nothing ever gets boring or routine. Most of our sessions are with Gage and Eric. Both are excellent, top-notch trainers. First and foremost they care about you and your results and offer lots of advice on how to get the most out of your workout, or in general, how to eat and live a better life. They both put a lot of thought into each session to make sure it's challenging, yet doable, fun, and most importantly, worth getting out of bed for. All and all we're very happy at True Grit Fit and highly recommend it.

I've been a member for several years at True Grit Fit and that says a lot considering I have been in a gym setting for the past 30 years. As far as the workouts, I couldn't be more pleased as they are always very different, challenging, and very well thought out by the trainer. The facility is very well maintained. The equipment is fantastic and the staff is, by far, the best in the business. I appreciate all of the efforts made by the entire True Grit Fit Team as to the efforts put forth for every workout and assistance to individuals, if needed. I would highly recommend True Grit Fit if you enjoy a highly motivated, results driven workout.

I was looking for a gym in Tampa and went to several others before TGF and after my first class I signed up immediately. Eric and Gage are great trainers who genuinely help you through every exercise and motivate you through the entirety of the workout.

Great place for a great workout! Staff and members friendly and very supportive- everyone just trying to get fit and be the best that can be. Highly recommended

SUCH an amazing place to work out and train!! The trainers are like family and really make sure that you are feeling comfortable and able to meet your goals. Personal training here is my favorite - but the bootcamp classes are just as great!

Going to True Grit for the last 3 years has been great especially training with Eric! He has all the experience and is willing to show you the right way to train. I greatly appreciate him for pushing me to get stronger and I have definitely seen a change within myself.

Loved this gyms’ workouts and their team too. 100% recommended. Going to miss you guys.

By far the BEST GYM IN TAMPA BAY! I do personal training with Letitia and love everything about this place!

Gage was an amazing trainer! We had an amazing partnership plan to accomplishing my fitness goals. With my short time training with him, I seen significant results. I unfortunately had to end my membership with True Grit, due to me not agreeing with policies in place but overall great gym. If you're new to Tampa Bay and looking for community in the SoHo area, this is the place for you!

I've been into large group fitness training for about 7 years now - nothing has compared to True Grit. Every class, I am challenged both mentally and physically. Only two months into training and I can already see my body changing by becoming stronger and more toned. The trainers are fantastic and always push you to do your best - even when you think you can't, they're always there to make you realize just how strong you are. Also - I love how the gym is based off American pride!

I started with a month trial and within the first week, I knew I had found my gym. The trainers are all excellent, knowledgeable, encouraging (but not overly so), and create awesome workouts. The workouts are difficult, but can easily be modified for injuries or for more intense levels. The trainers styles are very different which makes each day at the gym a new experience. There is not a lot of engagement between participants which is fine by me because I really like to focus. Plus, it is very fast-paced so there isn’t time to be distracted by small talk! It is a very big gym which is GREAT because it never feels crowded. There is plenty of space to spread out which I love! I also like the military feel of the gym. While I do not have a personal connection to a military service I really appreciate honoring our soldiers and carrying the flag when we run.

I get stronger and stronger each workout and it feels great! Huge gym with so many different types of equipment. No 2 workouts are ever the same. Trainers are truly vested in your success!

I have never experienced a place with such a great balance of outstanding trainers, creativity in training methods, an unmatched array of equipment, and commitment to the membership (trainers are there and ready to push you to exceed your goals). True Grit Fit stays true to certain principles. They care about people. They care about the facility and the environment such that they are diligent in the area of cleanliness and overall appearance of the gym. They care about the greater community reflected in their partnerships and support of other organizations in Tampa that serve veterans, youth, and others. The great energy and atmosphere at True Grit Fit is a reflection of the owners Mike and Lateesha Tedford. They have built a great team and a great place to work toward goals (I love the fact that you may do traditional routines, but you may very well be required to do unconventional, unorthodox, “I can’t believe you’re asking me to do this” routines!!). I found a home and a family at True Grit Fit.

Where do I start....I LOVE THIS PLACE!! I come from a dance studio and knew nothing about gyms or boot camps. The staff was so super helpful and patient. You don't have to be already in shape or even know what you're doing to come here. The staff and your partners all support and cheer each other on. I've made so many amazing friends along the way. Over 2 years later, I couldn't imagine working out anywhere else. They are clean (super important) and keep up with all their equipment. Always new fun stuff to try. Every trainer is so knowledgeable, I have really gone through a full lifestyle change since I started at True Grit. They guide you with your diet and help you work through any physical issues. Today I'm stronger, leaner, more tone, and overall feel so much better. Working with a personal trainer is the best decision I ever made!! Thanks Leticia!! And changing your diet is really the game changer. They help you with all of it!! Love you guys more than you know. XXO Yvette

True Grit Fit is a hidden gem and 1st Class Outfit! Each day is filled with varied exercises coached by friendly, supportive trainers with no judgement. Whatever your fitness level you actually look forward to the challenge. A very welcoming and accommodating establishment. I highly recommend to anyone wanting to start their fitness journey.

I don't want to work out anywhere else. I've been back at TGF for six months, after a three year hiatus. The best part of coming back was all the familiar faces. The workouts are on point and no two are the same. The trainers motivate you and challenge you to step up your game. The facility is clean and the equipment is in perfect condition. I always leave feeling like I had an incredible workout.

True Grit Fit has changed my life! Not with just with fitness but my overall confidence! I first started out with boot camp workouts but switched over to their personal training program,Kick Start, for a wedding with Letitia. Originally, I was only going to do the person training program for 3 months but quickly got addicted. Letitia has challenged me, motivated me, and pushed me to be my ultimate best in the gym. I feel like not only have I had personal fitness gains but I also gained ever lasting friendships at True Grit Fit. I am truly grateful for Letitia and every trainer at the gym! This gym has become my second home and family!

True Grit Fit gym is awesome! The staff/coaches are super motivating, they take time to show you the correct form and hold you accountable. The owners are are incredible and very involved with the community which is so nice to see. If you’re looking to join a gym True Grit Fit will not disappoint 👌🏻

Truthfully, this place has changed my life! I grew up in an athletic family, played a collegiate sport, have always been stuck in the fitness world, but I always hated it. I started over a year ago with Letitia. I absolutely love her. A thank you to her will never be enough. She is everything I wanted and needed in a trainer. Being apart of this gym has led me to family, friends, and more self confidence. I’m truly so thankful for this place. I love it so much!

TGF has such a positive environment and killer workouts. I have made tremendous progress both physically and mentally since starting. TGF has done an awesome job curating their staff. I have noticed Eric is driving the transition from cardio-heavy workouts to more strength-focused workouts, which I personally appreciate. Shane, Gage, and BJ are great and lead great workouts. I know every day I start with TGF is going to be a good day.

I joined almost three months ago as I write this review. True Grit Fit has been the perfect health partner in my life. I do their boot camp classes and I participated in their start of the year 45 day reset challenge which focuses on getting into better shape right at the start of the year. The instructors will either push you, pull you, or encourage you to be honest and take your health more seriously. It feels like a supportive environment where you are expected to take some responsibility for your efforts. In my time there I have seen many people time and time again which I think is a testament to the environment they create that makes it very easy to just keep going. All shapes and sizes are their and there is zero judgement. I mean zero. Well worth my money and time.

I have been going here almost 5 years now and I love this gym, their staff, and community! The managers and trainers are all SO great and each bring their own edge to the workout that they lead. Each boot camp workout is challenging and different— so I never get bored. Also, this is THE cleanest gym I have ever been to and they just remodeled (with brand new equipment too!) and it looks great! I also love how there are so many class times available... so I really don’t have an excuse to miss a workout! 20/10 would recommend!

My sons and I were looking for a small, personal gym and decided to tour the facility based on the amazing reviews. We were lucky enough to have Eric the head trainer show us around and we were so impressed with him that we signed up for the Kick Start program (small group personal training). Four years later and we are still training with Eric! He is patient, knowledgeable and tailors the workouts to our individual needs. He also provides great, practical nutrition advice along with the workouts because that is what it takes to get the best results. The facility is clean and has great, well maintained equipment. Whether you are a beginner or looking to take your fitness training to the next level, Eric can help you achieve your fitness goals. Highly recommend!

TGF is an excellent place to get a challenging and effective workout! Eric and Gage are some of the best trainers I’ve ever worked with! I’m extremely happy with the positive changes in my body and health since joining this gym!

If you’re looking for a challenging workout with clear instruction from incredible trainers - come to TGF!! From the clean facilities, to the friendly and engaging community, I can genuinely say I look forward to showing up every day. After 2.5 years, no two workouts have been the same! Lots of variety that will both help you build muscle and enhance your athleticism.

I always go to boot camp and it is ALWAYS a great workout. All of the trainers are awesome and do an amazing job of keeping the workouts original. Every day is a new day from cardio to strength training. Can’t recommend True Grit Fit enough!
