Tampa Area Gym Reccomendations???

[skookum]

I will be spending a week about 20 miles outside of Tampa (Saddlebrook Resort) and need some tips on good local gyms. I'm really interested in
old-school, hardcore venues - not run-of-the mill commercial joints and pick-up spots...

Thanks In Advance,

Is the resort 20 miles North, South, East or West of Tampa?
Sout of Tampa in St. Pete there's a good Gold's. In tampa there is a good Powerhouse (more hardcore) and a decent Gold's as well.

I pulled up the directions to the resort. It's 30 miles north of Tampa...

Sounds like you are in the Lutz/Land O Lakes area not much in that area, will have to drive south into Tampa, probably the best place is Powerhouse on Florida Ave. 20/30 min drive?? Sorry not much help.

The resort is in Wesley Chapel...I guess it's Powerhouse in Tampa then -unless someone else knows of a good 'ol dungeon in the area...

Thanks Guys!!!

Saddlebrook is in Wesley Chapel near Land O Lakes. Powerhouse gym is the only hardcore gym that is not to far from you. There is a sports and field right down the road (south) on SR 56 a couple pro athletes train there and its a pretty new place probably not hardcore though.

Thanks for the replies, guys! Sounds like I have acouple options to work with anyway. Traveling & training can be such a bitch sometimes...

MuscleWorks gym in Bradenton, right next to Sarasota. The handsdown most hardcore PL and BB gym I've even been to. I used to run it a few years ago. Yellow walls, 2500lb leg press, monolift, 200lb dumbells and tons of dirt/dust/blood/chalk all over the floor and some LOUD ass metal blasting over the many huge speakers throughout the gym. It's truley a work of art.
