Updated For 2019
Group fitness classes are a great way to get a workout in without having to plan it. You pick the group class, a time, show up, and the instructors take care of the rest while you work up a sweat with others.
If you find yourself googling “group fitness classes”, “group fitness Tallahassee”, or even just “group fitness”, this guide is for you.
This is The Serious Guide To Group Fitness Classes in Tallahassee. Don’t forget to check out The Serious Guide to Gyms in Tallahassee, and try our small group personal training for free!
These group fitness gyms are all facilities whose focus varies. However, you can usually rely on the fact that they will mainly focus on cardiovascular fitness. Since our gym, Seriously Strong Training, is a personal training only facility I thought it would be useful to recommend places you can take fitness into your own hands together with a group of people.
I’ve included all the pertinent information you need to narrow down the list of places that fit your needs based on price, location, and amenities.
If you have any corrections or just found this list useful leave us a comment below and share the article!
One more thing–if you’re struggling to reach your goals you should consider hiring a personal trainer in Tallahassee (specifically, us). Click here for a free personal training trial.

BODY TRAC
Body Trac is a franchise group fitness facility that combines cardio with small group training. The workouts are one hour with one half spent on cardio equipment and the other half doing circuit style resistance training with a personal trainer. There are four locations in Tallahassee and overall Body Trac has great reviews across Yelp, Facebook, and Google. Body Trac is a hybrid between group training and personal training. They offer some elements you would find working with a personal trainer (accountability, nutrition coaching), but due to the workout structure technique coaching can be difficult in a group setting. Body Trac is usually located in a shopping center, is air conditioned, and clean.

BOOTCAMP FITNESS AND TRAINING
This is Tallahassee’s original bootcamp class right down to the camouflage themed branding. Bootcamp Fitness and Training is located in a warehouse on Industrial Plaza Dr. very near several other group training facilities (Kaos, Primal Fit). The owner, Laurel, is an Russian Kettlebell Senior Trainer and Bootcamp Fitness and Training incorporated kettlebells liberally into their workouts. The workouts are always different, incorporate many non-traditional implements, and are done in a large group. This is a warehouse gym, which means there is no air conditioning. This means some parts of the year it is incredibly hot, and in others it is incredibly cold. Just like real Bootcamp.

Our take: Drip Drop fitness offers an enjoyable experience with an energy level that’ll get your blood pumping. The cardio dance class with Bailey is a blast. Her energy and exercise combinations, mixed with the loud energetic music made it hard to not have a great time! If you’re looking to switch up your normal cardio routine, Drip Drop Fitness will leave you dripping.

FIT AND FUNCTIONAL (Core 7 PErformance)
Fit and Functional is owned by Sherman Rozier and a long time staple of Tallahassee. They wouldn’t give a lot of information on the phone, but mentioned a $25 walk-in rate for classes–that might be the most expensive in Tallahassee for group classes where $10-$15 is standard. Core 7 Performance is the small group (up to 4) training classes offered, and the idea is to progress through the different levels from 1-7 as your prowess improves. This “group training” is technically small group training similar to Body Trac.

KAOS
Kaos Group Training Gym was originally opened as Praxis 360 by some collegiate baseball players who loved CrossFit, and this is reflected in the facility design. After a restructuring of the business it was reopened as KAOS with new owners–Tyler (who has since left to open Primal Fit) and Melissa. Kaos offers a range of group classes, has showers, and is just LARGE. The major downfall of this facility is the HEAT in the summers. Kaos offers kids training classes.

LEACH
The Leach offers a wide range of classes taught by students at the FSU campus. The instructors must be certified in the class they are teaching so that is a plus. Spots fill fast because there are 40,000 students at FSU. You must sign up online and the window opens 24 hours in advance. They have a strict no-show policy with a limit of 2. Parking is challenging just like every other part of the FSU campus. You must be a member of the Leach (either be a student or pay a membership fee) to attend classes.

Our take: I got a chance to try Leach’s Nole Fit class. The class is designed as a 45 minute total body workout using the variety of equipment found in Leach’s fitness studio. The class has several stations you can switch between with varying intensities for more experienced and stronger participants. The student trainers did a great job of motivating the me and other participants as well as properly demonstrating the exercises. With the variety of intensities you can choose from, even as an experienced lifter I found this class difficult. If you’re a student or faculty member at FSU, Nole Fit will work you hard and give you a great workout.

MOMENTUM FITNESS
Momentum Fitness was Gold’s Gym until 2017. They have since rebranded and offer a wide range of group classes. You must be a member of the gym to take the group classes. This could be great if you need a gym for solo workouts as the classes are included, but if you don’t like commitment you will need to look elsewhere. Still, at $35/month for a membership with unlimited classes that is a steal.

ORANGE THEORY FITNESS
Orange Theory has become wildly popular in the last few years. The class is half on cardio (either running or rowing) and half on the weight floor using dumbbells, bodyweight, and TRX movements. Each class is focused on speed, endurance, and/or power. Orange Theory focuses on keeping you in the “Orange Zone” which is a target heart rate zone measured by your heart rate monitor. Your activity level is transmitted to a TV and your goal is to stay within the Orange Zone for which you earn “Splat Points”. Much like in “Whose Line is it Anyway?”, the points don’t matter, just like Schrute Bucks.

PREMIeR
Premier is a gym on the north side of town. They offer group classes as part of their membership, but the downside is that they require a 12 month contract that is the highest price in town.

Our take: Pure Barre is a combination between Ballet, Yoga and Pilates and was very challenging. It’s in a ballet style room, my class was centered around body weight exercises and really challenged your balance. If you’re looking for a low-impact workout that involves you feeling muscles you forgot existed, check this place out!

QUEEN OF HEART FITNESS
Queen of Hearts Fitness was started by some of the instructors from Art of the Catwalk (a pole dance studio that closed a few years back).

THE REFINERY Barre FITNESS STUDIO
The Refinery is a barre fitness studio catering primarily to women. They are very similar to Pure Barre when you compare the classes they offer, but we will mention that The Refinery won the 2018 Best Fitness Studio Award from the 2018 Demo Awards. The Refinery has a stronger Tallahassee following than Pure Barre and we believe this is because they are not a franchise. Again, barre classes are primarily bodyweight and focus on holds & pulsing movements.

TOP DOG
Top Dog was started in 2017 near FSU and they cater to female students. Their group classes incorporate a lot of weights, and I would say it is “Crossfit-esque” (in the most positive sense). I would say their training programs are comparable to Primal Fit.
Address: 624 W Tennessee St
Phone Number: (850) 572-4684
Hours: Mon-Thurs: 6AM-8PM; Fri: 6AM-6PM; Sat: 8AM-3PM, Sun: 9AM-3PM
Women’s classes start every hour and half-hour 7 days/week.
Website: https://www.topdog.fitness
Membership: Prices are reserved for consultations. Memberships are based off the University schedule.
What They Offer: They have 2 “program” options: men’s and women’s. Both are strength and weight based programs.
Our take: Top Dawg fitness is essentially the meeting of daily written crossfit style workouts mixed with powerlifting. For the men all that is currently available is an open gym layout with weekly workouts written on the walls to complete at your own leisure. The gym seems more welcoming for ladies, with stations set up every day to get a specific workout in. At least one staff member is usually walking around willing to answer any questions to the best of their ability.
I took the liberty of trying their “shoulder day” workout. There was only two lifts integrated inside of the workout where you had to choose your own weight, the rest were body weight, or strongman exercises. I chose the max weight I could do for the repetitions listed and due to the layout of the workout I did not get much out of it. All of the staff have experience lifting but none I was aware of had certifications inside of NSCA, NASM, ACE, or ISSA. The equipment is mostly rogue but the lack of lighting makes doing any lifting away from the very front of the gym a dingy experience. This gym is best suited for college students living in the area.
