MPower Project Wellness

This gym is insanely expensive for the rapidly aging equipment. I was in the market for a gym and tried this one due to proximity. They wanted something like a $ 350 join fee, and some complicated monthly amount thereafter.
A lot of the machines and the water fountains were broken, and not to mention the gym is in need of a makeover.
Also, the OWNER of the gym usually works out at LA Fitness. I see him. So, that should tell you something.

miami shores neighborhood gym. like the fact that this gym is never crowded. you can go at peak times and still able to access machines without wait. only problem is not all machines are working properly… need servicing or just dont turn on and the gym itself is more expensive than most. i appreciate the fact that its really a gym… not a place for a fashion show like most of the big well known gyms out there…

The place is ok but the membership is sadly over priced. Really the only reason I considered paying so much more was because I could walk from my house but at this point I’d rather pay a 3^rd of the price and go to a big brand gym.

The only benefits to this gym are location and the fact that it’s never packed. It is generally kept marginally dirty, and the classes are somewhat boring. The main cardio, aside from treadmills and such, is Spinning. The other classes are stuck in the same place with the same teachers. The latest Zumba addition is not enticing.
The music throughout can drive you nuts one day, or encourage you the next– depending on who is behind the counter. The management just changed, but little has been done to the selection of classes, the selection of music, or the selection of a good cleaning crew.
It is cheap, but you get what you pay for.

M Power Project is the neighborhood Miami Shores gym. This gym has free weights, machines, a cardio area, classes, and a martial arts studio. They also offer personal training. In the two years I have been going here, I have never found the gym to be crowded.
The free weight area with a good selection of dumbells ranging from 10 to 100 pounds. There are also incline, decline, and adjustable benches in this area.
The machine area has a pretty wide selection of the standard weight machines, weighed by both plates and free weights. There are also pulley and smith machine setups and an area to do some floor exercises.
For cardio, it is mostly treadmills with some climber/​eliptical machines. There are 2 flat screens from the ceiling which are visible while doing cardio.
I’ve never taken a class, but they offer spinning, yoga, sculpting, Zumba, and boot camp classes in a separate studio.
The staff are super-​friendly, and the facilities are certainly adequate to get a good workout. The memberships are also pretty cheap — less than $ 400 for a full year. However, compared to other gyms I have been a member of, I would have to say it is pretty middle of the road. Not bad, and certainly not awesome. However it is less than a mile from my house which is great.
If I lived closer, I would probably join the new LA Fitness in North Miami as I have been a member of LA Fitness in Kendall and I thought the facilities were awesome for the price.
