We compared 18 gyms in Fort Lauderdale on Google Maps · 5 listed · How we rank

A gym membership is easy to sign and hard to get out of, so it pays to know what you are buying before you join. The gyms in Fort Lauderdale on this page hold more than 4,900 Google reviews between them, and their ratings spread from 4.0 up to 4.9. Part of that gap is the format, because a 40-minute coached class studio, a national big-box club and a two-floor independent gym are very different bets.

Short answer: Planet Fitness on N Federal Hwy has the most Google reviews here, more than 1,700 at 4.6, and is the straightforward big-club option. SWEAT440 Fitness Las Olas holds the highest rating at 4.9 for coached 40-minute strength classes, and Titan Gym is the independent pick, with a $38 month-to-month price advertised on its own site.

What the scorecard numbers mean

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is each gym’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated it, ranked against other Fort Lauderdale gyms we looked at. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.6 from over a thousand people carries more weight than a 4.9 from a handful. Recency shows how recently people still leave reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.
