Originally molded from the Iron Generation since 1978, this is also a place that many look for to be coached on all levels. In a competitive industry, when you are a great coach at a greater gym, word gets out. That’s why having a veteran staff and a fully equipped facility in South Florida has continued to keep Olympia Gym & Fitness Center at the top. Today, as the one and only Aventura location, we serve as the longest operating health and fitness gym in Florida, the objective has remained the same - Treat our members like family by spoiling them with free classes and the ability to workout in a top notch environment with knowledgable trainers who get you the results you always wanted.
