Old Town Fitness

This is a great old school gym. Nothing fancy, no air conditioning, but all the equipment you need for an intense workout. The members are all serious, though they don’t all look like Arnold so no need to be intimidated. The members are friendly and always happy to give you a spot or a liftoff. Just don’t expect a lot of chit chat. People come here to train hard. There’s plenty of sweat. People care more about training than gym fashion, so there are always a few guys without a shirt.

Fyi - 25 usd for a day pass. Well equipped gym. Dumbbells up to 120 lbs. Best gym for body builders in KW.

Seriously fabulous old-school gym. If you like to work out in a pristine gym with equipment that's never been used by people who dont even sweat- this is NOT the place for you, lol.

The 5 stars are for history, ambience, people and workout environment. It has all the equipment and I worked out harder here than at our renovated gym back home. I seriously loved it!

The owner and staff were great; if we lived here this would be our gym.😊

This place is historic and beautiful! If you are looking for plush and fancy gym with AC go somewhere else. This is a no BS, hardcore gym.

“A real gym”. I love these places, They remind me of Muscle beach, or what golds used to be, This name is a true definition, Old town fitness, even though id wish it was “old time fitness”. Here you wont find every squat rack with a person doing more selfies then actual reps, your going to see sweat on the floor, people getting after it, dust, cob webs, and my favorite part.. Clanking weights with years of history on them. This place accelerated my workout from my normal planet boring fitness routines every day, It was somewhere I wanted to go the minute I woke up. They also have equipment that fits LARGE TALL men and women, this is hard to find. I hope this place never changes, Glad these gyms still exist. Thanks OTF -7 foot guy with tattoos.

Loved it here. It’s a throwback to old school gyms I remember as a kid. It’s well stocked with bars, racks, a rig, a couple dozen machines and cardio equipment. Staff was helpful and friendly. Music was loud (in a good way) and played a mix of rock music.

Only one real problem with place, and that's that i can only go here when I'm in Keys! Place has an awesome environment. Love this gym, matter of fact its probably my favorite gym I've ever been too. right up my ally

First gym I’ve walked into where no one is on their phone. Very welcoming, nice breeze, and great music. I now go to the gym more days per week on vacation than I do at home.

Old school gym with a great vibe. Owner was also pretty cool!

I had a membership here while I was living on key west. I loved it! It's not high tech. It's not for creature comfort hounds. It's like some old school Rocky Balboa gym lol. If what you want is a no nonsense place to do some serious lifting this is it.

Amazing true old school lifting gym.
Good old rusty iron, dust and rock music.
Also a medium weight punching bag is available ☝

Love it, thank you!

Best gym in Key West by far! I’ve worked out here almost every day since 2015 and never had a bad experience. I’ll never forget the first day I walked in here- straight out of a Rocky movie.

Don’t waste your time looking for another gym on the island! This is the least expensive and most authentic. Tons of weights, cardio machines, and room for everyone!

Thanks for all the good times and great workouts!

What a great old school gym! Frank the owner is a super friendly guy who took time out of his day to talk to is and make us feel welcome. I would go back to Key West just to workout there again!

Best Gym in Key West. Period. From the friendly staff to the amazing environment, this gym exceeds expectations. If you’re looking for Planet Fitness or one of those chain gyms, then you must be the person who came to Key West and eats dinner at some chain restaurant that you can go to in your hometown. It’s an amazing monument to strength and conditioning and everyone should embrace it!

Was in Key West for a month and this gym was the only one on the island with all the equipment necessary to get in a proper muscle building workout. The owner Frank was a really great guy to deal with along with the other staff. Never change a thing about this gym Frank!! The atmosphere is something i wish i had back home - it is truly old school which you just cant find anymore.

I go to Key West every year and will continue to return to Old Town Fitness!

What's not to love. Ownership as real as they come. Respect is earned here. Utterly devoid of pretentiousness. Once regulars see your hardwork, consistancy, and dedication you get those subtle and reassuring nods that are deeply validating. Humble but serious people frequent this place. And for tourists, high level of freedom no shirts, no problems. I find that tourists love this. It's the best gym in Key West, completely unique and if you show up in June during the peak of summer your limits will be tested... and you'll be hooked. Enjoy!

We are from out of town here for a week, and were looking for a place to drop in and lift. Old Town Fitness stands alone compared to the other aerobics studios in the surrounding area. Very old school equipment, barbells, dumbbells, kettle bells, a few punching bags, and even a corner with rubber plates for deadlifts and cleans. There are a few machines as well, but this is a gym where people go to train, not a planet fitness type. The owner Frank is very friendly, as is the staff. We love this place and will be back every day while in Key West on our vacation!!

This is not the Planet Fitness type of weight room. They have loud music, weights banging, and people lifting heavy. Which is why I loved it! If you're into that stuff, make sure to stop by! (plus, they have their dogs walking around the gym, which I personally love it!)

Totally old-school lifting gym. The opposite of Equinox. I mean all of the following in the best possible way: hot; sweaty; mismatched old equipment (but a surprisingly complete selection, including unusual grip machines); no AC; maybe two fans; pictures of Arnold and other bodybuilders on the walls; 100lb plates; old salty shirtless bodybuilders in giant pairs of Skidz; teenagers trying to get huge and fumbling with bad workout styles... For a certain type of athlete, this is the real deal. I love this place.

One is the last real hard core non corporate gyms remaining in the us. You don't find a towel service here bud t you will find super productive strength building environment. Frank the owner is a phenomenal human be sure to sag hello.
