Working out in Miami goes well beyond reps and results — it’s also about ritual and recovery. Wellness has visibly leveled up in South Florida, with performance-driven training, cold plunges, infrared saunas, physical therapy, and just enough vanity to keep things fun. Looking good is still part of the culture, sure, but feeling good, sleeping better, and staying durable in a city that’s active year-round is just as important.
From sleek, machine-loaded clubs and buzzy boutique studios to hyper-focused training labs and niche concepts built around booties, boxing, or climbing walls, Miami’s gym scene is as diverse as its population. Whether you seek a high-energy group sweat, one-on-one coaching, or a place that treats recovery as seriously as your workout, there’s a gym here that fits your vibe.
In alphabetical order, here are New Times’ picks for the 13 best gyms in Miami.
Plunges, sauna, eucalyptus steam room, and more await at Anatomy.
