Unlike most other gyms, Olympia adds that energy and vibe that can’t be duplicated. I feel like part of a family. All the staff is exceptionally experienced when it come to health and exercise. From the front desk to the Personal trainers on the floor and the aerobic instructors teaching classes. The whole Olympia Team is super friendly and they create a great atmosphere to work out in.

I’ve joined a lot of gyms in the past… but no one has inspired and motivated me more than the staff at Olympia Gym, more notably my friend and trainer Anna… I give her total credit for my transformation. I’m thrilled at the progress that I’ve seen since starting… I’ve lost over 8% body fat, increased my energy level and focus, and can honestly say… totally changed my life… And as you can see, I look pretty good for 53! I would highly recommend Olympia Gym to anyone interested in improving the quality of their life as well.

I am a Nutritionist, and have been in the field of Health & Fitness for over
25 years.
I have been a member of Olympia Gym for many years. Being on avid workout junkie I have joined many gyms throughout the years but I have always prioritized and continued to spend most of my workouts at Olympia Gym.
What calls me there on a daily basis is the up beat atmosphere, friendly and supportive staff, excellent equipment and incredibly competent instructors. The clientele is an interesting diversified group of people very committed to their training and Gym etiquette aware.
I intend to workout at some level for the rest of my life, and I hope Olympia Gym will pass it on to future generations.

I have been training with Carlos for the past 6 months. Carlos is the consummate professional who is passionate about his work. Over that period of time, my strength and conditioning have improved dramatically. Besides the obvious physical benefits of training with Carlos, perhaps of equal importance is the fact that he brings a lot of creativity to his training sessions. I don’t think I’ve ever had the same workout twice! I am enjoying working with Carlos so much, that I’ve increased my training sessions from once to five days per week. I look forward to training with Carlos into the distant future.

I started training with Carlos Ramos about 9 months ago. When I first started training with him I had no previous experience with a personal trainer, and to add insult to injury, I was somewhat out of shape.
Carlos immediately put me on a training regiment that fit my fitness goals. He always takes the time to explain the exercises that I am performing and makes sure that I am performing them correctly. He takes a personal interest in my fitness development, and is a great motivator.
As a result of training with Carlos, I have seen significant gains in both strength and musculature. He has helped me see that weight training as a life long path to health and longevity. I look forward to our training sessions each week and I hope to continue to progress toward my fitness goals.

After the Iraqi freedom campaign I flew home from Diego Garcia, my body was all in spasm and inflamed… I could hardly move, my joints were affected.
The diagnosis was “diffuse systematic inflammatory disease of undetermined etiology-suspected of being caused by Viral and Bacterial antigens. Namely Smallpox and Anthrax vaccine exposures followed by influenza symptoms.”
Mr. Roden has been instrumental in getting my body moving again.
I have undergone a curative program based on the hands on structural therapies and exercise programs under Roy Roden at the Olympia Gym in Aventura.
Mr. Roden is caring, sympathetic, and conscientious. He is highly recommended.

Since we started working out with Heinz and Gaby Senior everything has changed for the good.
I am amazed how great I feel and how fast my husband and I have seen the results. We have been training with Heinz Senior for the last two months and the outcome is wonderful, we have lost a combined weight of 30 pounds of fat and we look fantastic. We are eating healthy foods and we are dedicating at least one hour of our lives everyday to exercise. We have more energy and even though we are eating more than we used to, we are losing all those extra pounds. My body looks leaner and I am getting my curves back.
I am not much of a cook but with their support and suggestions, they always help us in making the diet more interesting and tasty. In addition, Heinz’s training sessions are incredible; his knowledge and methods of training will never get you bored.
Stick to their knowledge and guidance and you will be able to reach your goals in a short period of time. Heinz & Gaby Senior are such a great and inspiring couple and we are so glad that we found them because they definitively have taught us how to adjust to our new and healthier way of living.
**We Highly Recommend Them** Lisa & Luis
