Bay Area Sports Performance and Fitness

Fantastic experience: I started with Bay Area Performance and Fitness about 3 months ago after completing physical therapy for a shoulder injury. My trainer, Hank, created a custom strength and mobility plan for me. He has helped me correct and optimize my form, recover strength, improve flexibility, and eliminated the residual pain in my shoulder. We also work on lower body exercises to help alleviate the bursitis in my hip. Hank has been fantastic to work with. He is very knowledgeable and encouraging. His plans are challenging, but never feel impossible. He is supportive with occasional text messages on my non-gym days to keep me on track. I always look forward to coming into the gym and working hard. The atmosphere is friendly and supportive. This is the best thing I have ever done to improve my strength and fitness. I would recommend Hank and Bay Area Performance and Fitness to anyone looking to level up their training.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been doing training with Bay Area Sports for almost 2 months. I work with Coach Hank and he's great!(Along with the rest of the coaching staff!) Hank is patient and listens extremely well. I’ve been injured multiple times outside the gym and I still have made major progress in body weight, and my lifts. Coach is always attentive to my injuries and needs as an athlete. He’s always brought me back to full strength and full mobility. The gym has a fun welcoming atmosphere. I recommend it to anyone wanting to get feel more energized, less stressed, and overall better.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at this gym for a few months now, and it’s easily the best experience I’ve had with any personal training. The process is easy to get started, prices are fair, all of the trainers are super friendly and supportive of everyone. A great gym overall and great staff!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing place to workout. They create an individualized workout and meal plan to follow. They track your progress as well. I decided to take the step to become a healthier version of myself and within a few weeks I feel it and see it! I workout with Dane, encouraging attitude not only from him, but everyone there!!! 10/10

Fantastic experience: 10/10 recommend this place! I workout with Dane and he’s always willing to work around my schedule and I’ve seen great results in just 2 months! Everyone is super friendly and motivated.

Fantastic experience: Been training with Dane for a while now and have had a great time. I've have seen much improvement in performance and he helped me prepare for the fire fighter PAT exam.

Fantastic experience: Great place! They really do push you to work hard and be a better version of you. Everyone there always has a great vibe! Peyton is awesome highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Payton for about 3months. They team creates a plan of action specific to you & your goals. I’m about 7 months post second c section & just recently started a meal plan after breastfeeding. We’ve been seeing steady results & gaining strength back. Excited to see what results we will see in the next 6months. - Megan C

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training here with Coach Hank and it’s been an amazing experience! Coach Hank is very knowledgeable about fitness and was super accommodating with my work schedule. He also customized our sessions based on how I was doing. I suffered from an injury so he made sure to help me recover properly before resuming my regular training. Everyone at the gym is so welcoming and you can see that they truly care about their members. Would definitely recommend training here!

Fantastic experience: I am going on month 3 with Coach Srdjan. I have to say it is to date my favorite place I have ever worked out at. I have been in boot camps, Orange Theory (for years) and even CrossFit gyms but Bay Area is hands down the best. This gym has the accountability I was desperately in need of in addition to an amazing welcoming environment. I can’t say enough about the staff and gym. I get a well rounded killer workout fitted for my body and lifestyle in addition to a personalized meal plan. The change so far is incredible, I can’t wait to see what is in store for my transformation.

Fantastic experience: This is the place you want to go if you're looking for actual results that you can sustain. They work with you, and cater everything to you. If you follow their directions you WILL see results. Period

Fantastic experience: We've been doing couples training for about 3 months and we love it! We work with trainer Peyton and he's great! So patient and listens attentively. The gym has a fun welcoming atmosphere. I recommend it to anyone wanting to get started in the gym, level up their fitness journey, and athletes!

Fantastic experience: I love this place! As someone who doesn’t find joy and happiness in working out and I give up easily, Payton really made a change in my mindset with his approach! Every training looks and feels different, I am being challenged to try harder and do better, and secretly I am starting to like it! Of course, I am loving the progress I made in my physical appearance and the level of fitness I achieved with his help! Highly recommend this place and Payton as a coach!

Fantastic experience: I have had a great experience at Bay Area Sports and Performance. As a result of the individualized nutrition plan, ongoing assessments, accountability, individualized strength training plan, and excellent coaching from my trainer Peyton, I have had definite body recomposition with fat loss and muscle gains. I had been working out at boutique HIIT group training gyms for several years without this level of results. Peyton is easy to schedule workouts with despite my changing schedule, accessible and encouraging. Highly Recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Bay Area Sports for 2 months now and it’s everything I needed for my fitness journey and more! I followed them on Instagram for a long time before I decided to take the plunge, and I am so happy I did! Peyton is one of the best trainers I’ve ever had. He has so much knowledge of everything fitness and he really helps keep me on track with my fitness and weigh loss goals. I think my favorite thing about this gym besides my trainer Peyton, is the gym feels very welcoming and non judgmental, everyone there wants the best for everyone and are always there to encourage you!

Fantastic experience: The coaches at this gym are great! There is no judgement from anyone, and a wide variety of people. They create your meal plans and are available via text and call virtually 24/7. RJ and Srdjan take on the "difficult" parts and all you have to do is follow the meal plan and show up to your sessions. I train with Peyton and he has been amazing. I never lifted a weight prior to training with him and in just 3 short months I'm crushing so many goals! His patience and understanding are unmatched. This is such an amazing gym!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with a great atmosphere! Trainer Peyton is very knowledgeable with setting up a custom workout plan for the body goal you’re trying to meet as well as a custom meal plan for you. Go in there open minded because each time you go in to workout you will learn something new. Bay Area Sports Performance and Fitness is definitely a quality gym with qualified trainers. Check it out!

Fantastic experience: The team at Bay Area Sports Performance is a dedicated group that has a vested interest in developing their clients to achieve and meet their individual fitness goals. Coach Hank and RJ are experienced professionals at their craft and are committed to helping you progress physically. 5 Stars

Fantastic experience: Bay Area Sports is so much more than Personal training. They are truly dedicated to all aspects of what goes into “ Personal Training ”. Treating not only the body, but mind and soul as well. My son has got so much more than muscles and agility from being a client. He has learned life lesson skills, accountability and given the tools he needs to make himself an all around better person. I truly never expected what a positive influence they would make on our life. Many thanks to, Srdjan “Serb” and RJ! Thank you, Robin & Noah

Fantastic experience: I love working out there it’s such a positive environment, Peyton my trainer is always pushing me to be a better person and always improve. They make working out fun and I’m always looking forward to working out there!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Bay Area gym for about 6 months now, I train with Srdjan and he is the absolute best, he has been super helpful in helping me achieve my goals. The whole team at this gym is great and everyone makes you feel like family! Highly suggest signing up and getting started if you’re serious about wanting to see results and put in the hard work, cus these guys don’t play around when it comes to the trainings. You’ll never have a bad workout!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with phenomenal trainers. Srdjan and RJ have put together a great group of trainers, they’re very committed to helping everyone achieve their individual fitness goals. In the time I’ve gotten to train with Srdjan I have learned to push myself physically and discipline mentally. Training at Bay Area you’ll learn not just how through the motion of an exercise but what it targets and how it benefits your body overall. The biggest benefit in my opinion is that Bay Area teaches that nutrition is just as important as your physical training, I’ve learned how to properly fuel my body and I’ve seen more results training with Srdjan in a few months than I have in years of trying by myself. If you’re looking for friendly, motivating coaches in a clean and inclusive environment, this is definitely the spot!

Fantastic experience: I began training here over a year ago and the motivation and confidence it has given me is something I don’t ever want to live without again! The trainers care about your well being and push you to strive for better. Can’t imagine my weekly routine without this place

Fantastic experience: Trainers have excellent knowledge and know how to motivate their clients. They do it all… from custom workouts, meal plans and holding you accountable. Whatever your desire is they will help you reach your goal!

Fantastic experience: My boys have been working with RJ for over a year now. They are both competitive soccer players. RJ has helped them to increase their speed and agility. He is great with their age group and always keeps it fun for them. We highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Highly recommend! Love the workouts that are geared specifically for you and what you are trying to achieve. Meal plans are easy to follow. I have lost 40 lbs and lost 12% body fat in the last 6 months with them!

Fantastic experience: The trainers at this gym are great. They really do care about your entire fitness and health journey. It's not just about losing weight or bulking up with them. They are incredibly personable and makes going to the gym a fun experience.

Fantastic experience: I’ve had the pleasure of knowing the co owner RJ my entire professional career here in Florida, nearly 6 years. RJ and I worked together at a former company, and not only did I learn many of the skills I needed to better myself and further my career, he taught me the importance of doing right by your clients and providing a service for them that exceeds expectations. I was able to witness first hand his drive, and passion for fitness, and I knew full heartedly when he told me he was leaving to pursue starting this business that he was soon to be one of the best gyms in the Tampa area as well. RJ and his brother are quality people with an excellent gym and years of experience between the two of them of proven results for their clients. You can not go wrong with a CSCS, and a fit family as great as them :)

Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable, friendly, focused, motivated, and helpful. This place is somewhere I can now call my home. Srdjan and RJ are some of the sweetest and most friendly people I know. They help set you up for success in every way possible, they are very knowledgeable and aren’t going to give you these high expectations or “easy fixes” to get you to your goal. They push you to be your absolute best with a healthy diet and workouts focused for your specific goals. The biggest thing I have learned thus far, only being here for about a month, is that diet is everything for me and for the longest time I never knew what were the right foods for MY body type. Now that I have been eating healthy I can tell my body has been thanking me and the weight loss just goes to show the hard work put into this pays off. Thank you Bay Area Sports for your endless support and encouragement. I wouldn’t be where I am right now without all your hard work!!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member at Bay Area Sports for 3 months now and it has been one of the best gifts I've given myself. I had mild to severe joint pain in my knees and in my lower back when I began training with Srdjan. Fast forward to 3 months later, I am able to move in ways I didn't think were possible. With the knowledge, meal guides, awesome workouts and MOTIVATION that Srdjan provides, I've lost 20+ pounds thus far. He and RJ are truly masters at their craft. They care about their clients and help kids with their confidence and sport skills every day. I find them both to be passionate, dedicated and hard working individuals and I am happy to be a part of a community who works hard and earns results. I highly recommend any program if you're thinking about starting your fitness journey. 10/10 Recommend!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I have found that the trainers make training fun. They are highly qualified and tailored a program especially for me. They treat me with respect at all times. I have been consistently making my target goals following the program they developed for me.

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym I have ever been to! RJ and Srdjan are friendly and amazing to work with but more importantly they know their stuff! From the meal plans to making sure that every exercise is done correctly to pushing you to learn to want to do better and to start loving exercise. I have had to stop training for personal reasons but I am looking forward to going back in the future.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality Love it here! RJ works with you and you can tell he really cares and is genuinely happy and excited with you when you show results. As long as you don’t cheat and stick to the meal plans there’s no way you don’t show some type of results. Recommend to everyone and definitely will be back!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality We love this gym, my son has been doing agility training for more than a year, he has developed in a great way. My husband and I have join recently, we are over 40 looking to change our lifestyles, we already start to see the results in a little of 2 weeks, the training is great, This two bother are amazing.

Fantastic experience: RJ and Srdjan are serious about helping you be your best. For most trainers, it’s just a job but for these two, it’s their life’s passion. Combining their passion with their wealth of knowledge gives them an edge over other gyms and training centers in our area. If you are serious about being your best you owe it to yourself to take advantage of their complimentary fitness assessment.

Fantastic experience: I attended Bay Area Sports Performance because I had never done weight training and I wanted to make sure I could continue running and paddle boarding in my “older years.” RJ helped me build strength and muscles, and stay injury-free. I met my goals to get stronger, run a 10 minute mile, and lose over 16 pounds. Very happy with the results! Thank you RJ.

Fantastic experience: Definitely the gym to pick if you’re looking to make healthy lifestyle changes. RJ and Srdjan are so knowledgeable and will customize everything from your workout to your meal plans to meet whatever goals you want to achieve. Best gym/trainers in the area and 10/10 would recommend to those ready to commit and take the first step in their fitness journey!

Fantastic experience: RJ is the best personal trainer in Tampa Bay! Works with you one on one and gets you the results you want! Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: One of the best places to workout at! The facility itself is equipped with everything that one needs and is always kept spotless by the owners. The trainers themselves are extremely friendly and always there for their clients. Srdjan motivates me to push to my best ability and the changes have been tremendous in such a short period of time as long as you listen to him. For anyone looking to make a lifestyle change, this is the place to go! I would recommend it to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I had a fitness evaluation done with Rade & he definitely surpassed my expectations with the wealth of knowledge he has around physical exercise & nutrition. Super friendly & professional, this gym is definitely a judgement free environment & I can’t wait to start my journey with them. I will definitely be recommending this gym to anyone having a hard time achieving their fitness/nutrition goals.

Fantastic experience: Working with Rj and Srdjan has been more than a work out for myself and my two daughters. Thursday nights are fun again , thanks to the support and encouragement of these two experienced and dedicated trainers. Not only have we all made progress toward our physical goals, we've had the chance to bond and enjoy our time together. With the variety of exercises available we have all been able to find something we love, from strength-training, to basketball, to agility. Getting back to the basics, with the guidance of RJ and Srdjan has brought a renewed sense of confidence to all three of us. When I had my first training session, I had issues with muscle imbalances , and persistent body aches. I've seen quite an improvement with both. They have transformed not just our physical bodies, but also our mental outlooks, and our determination to be well in all aspects of our lives. I can't recommend these two trainers enough. We all look forward to continuing to work with them. If you are ready for a change in your life, more energy, or just to feel better, RJ and Srdjan are the trainers for you.

Fantastic experience: Simply the best! A way to reach your fitness goals and feel encouraged. If you have been hesitant about starting a training program this is the place for you. RJ and Srdjan are exceptional trainers who want to see you succeed and develop a customized training program along with a balanced nutritional plan. The workouts are varied and you gain education as you complete the fitness routines. This is a place where you can go and feel comfortable and work out in a positive environment. What I love about the trainers is that they care about their clients and their community. The best of the best!

Fantastic experience: RJ is highly motivating, has an infinite number of routines that are all challenging and tries to keep me on point with my diet throughout the week. He is dedicated to his clients and after seeing the results my wife had going to him for the last year I knew it was what I needed to get me back on track. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a personal trainer.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! Gives a warm welcoming vibe and is perfect for people who are intimidated by large corporation gyms. Srdjan and RJ are extremely knowledgeable and really get to know you as a client and friend. Workouts and meal plans are created to compliment YOUR goals and YOUR lifestyle and they are willing to find any way possible to fit you in to burn those calories! Would recommend this to anyone and everyone whether you're new to exercising or elite!

Fantastic experience: RJ is the best trainer ever! He motivates you to live a healthier lifestyle with the personalized workouts and meal plans. He is so accommodating with scheduling and if you're like myself, and like to eat cheat foods every other day (don't), but he will compromise and incorporate those foods into your meal plan. Srdjan is also a great trainer! He's more tough but sometimes that's what you need. You won't regret signing up with these two! :)

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym I have ever been to. Both trainers have a wealth of knowledge in many arenas and are always willing to help with any questions or concerns we might have. Each session is completely different and tailored for my daughter and I to strengthen her knee and my foot. We aren't just thrown weights and left to our own devices. We are taught correct form with each exercise. This isn't only a gym, its a place to go and feel welcome all while helping you become a healthier you. Money very well spent.

Fantastic experience: LOVE this gym and love the people that own it. You always feel welcomed and feel at home here no matter what. You aren't surrounded by a ton of people like regular gyms and have 1 on 1 training. Srdjan and Rj are very knowledgeable with what they are doing and are always there to help you reach your goals. They are there to not only be your trainer but also be your friend. They make it to where your workouts and meal plans and so forth fit your lifestyle and what makes you happy. I have seen people accomplish many goals since I started going here, and have even accomplished goals myself. Its nice having someome there for you who really cares to help you and to see you improve. The boot camps that they have are also amazing. You will leave there every single time waiting for your next workout. Would recommend this gym to anyone and everyone!

Fantastic experience: The expertise is just absolutely top-notch. The facility is very inviting and a very positive atmosphere. They are brothers and they are a perfect team, together they are the top trainers I have ever been to!! The custom tailor a diet to your specific wants and needs, motivate you every step of the way through your entire work out. You will not find a better service!! They have changed my life

Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable, kind, and friendly instructors/trainers. They do very thorough assessments to provide each client with their own personalized program. They’re also very easy to communicate with and respond quickly to any problems or issues you may have (in regards to the online training program). The gym atmosphere itself is very welcoming and motivating. On top of all of this, they focus on your health as well as your fitness/goals.

Fantastic experience: This gym is operated by two siblings that have a passion for helping others. It definitely shows in the way they treat their clients and how personable they are with their training. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone, no matter the age or way of living. RJ and his brother are great at what they do and use their gifts to improve the life of many. God bless them and their business! If you are looking for a team that will encourage and push you to keep going, this is it!! GIVE THEM A TRY!!
