Last month you met all 16 of our Hottest Trainer competitors, and we bet you were wondering, "But where can I workout with them all?" Call it a bit of editorial intuition, or call it what it is: a healthy obsession with this talented bunch. Either way, Miami's got a trainer for every single one of your interests– Pilates, barre, boxing, bootcamp, cycling, and on. Below we've mapped out every single gym where you can train with these fitness pros, no matter where you are in town.

1. Fight Club America – Guillermo Dapelo

120 NE 20th St
Miami, FL 33137

(305) 573-7400

Visit Website

The winner of this year's Hottest Trainer competition dominates the ring at Fight Club, Miami's top boxing studio with locations in Wynwood and Doral. Private training, massive group lessons, and open studio time make this gym a must-try for those who love to get their knuckles into boxing gloves, and Guillermo Dapelo's classes make it must try for adrenaline junkies who love large doses of cardio.

2. Anatomy at 1220 – Marc Megna

1220 20th St
Miami Beach, FL 33139

(786) 213-1220

Visit Website

What do you get when a nightclub impresario and a former NFL player put their heads together? Anatomy at 1220, South Beach's wellness wonderland of opulence. It's where you'll find the gym's co-founder and hottest trainer contestant Marc Megna, who formerly played for the Jets and Patriots. It's also where you can catch a class lead by another Hottest Trainer contestant Christa DiPaola. Personal training, group training, medical testing, blowouts, manicures, pedicures, shopping, spa services– there isn't anything this super exclusive gym can't do, so long as your name gets through its strict membership committee.

3. SoulCycle Coral Gables – Soeraya Wilson

360 San Lorenzo Ave
Coral Gables, FL 33146

(305) 740-3600

Visit Website

Although there are two SoulCycle locations on the way (South Beach and Brickell), SoulCycle at the Village of Merrick Park is the one that started it all. Lead by former Alvin Ailey dancer and president of the #GlitterBootyNation Soeuraya Wilson, SoulCycle is known best for its musically driven and motivational cycling classes, not to mention themed rides to artists like Beyoncé or Britney Spears.

4. Jetset Pilates – Rachel Scherdin

4203 Ponce De Leon Boulevard
Coral Gables, FL 33146

(305) 209-1007

Visit Website

Let's get one thing straight here: Jetset is not your average Pilates studio. It places about as much emphasis on strength training, core training and conditioning as it does traditional Pilates principals. Plus, it's the only fitness company in Miami to use the Lagree Fitness Megaformer, a machine with so many different uses you'll probably never do the same class twice, especially if you're taking Rachel Scherdin's class, where burpees are mixed in with sliding lunges to give you a pure full body experience. Check out a class at one of its three locations– Wynwood, Coral Gables, and South Beach.

Miami, FL 33138

(305) 640-5270

Ironflower Fitness is a women's only gym (if you couldn't tell by the awesome pink punching bags) that offers everything from Pilates to pole dancing, and bootcamp to Zumba.

Miami, FL 33137

Manning Sumner's bootcamp style classes have become so popular, the gym owner and NFL trainer needed to dedicate an entire half of his massive Wynwood fitness warehouse to them. You'll partner up and jump through different stations, from cardio machines to weights, and TRX training to laps around the block. This Wynwood location is the one that started it all, as he's set to expand outside of Florida very, very soon.

10. Pulse163 – Ciara Tunstall

3447 NE 163rd St
North Miami Beach, FL 33160

(305) 454-0549

Visit Website

Pulse163 opened a little over a year ago, and already its grown a cult following with Aventura and North Miami's fit set, especially if we're talking about dancing pro Ciara Tunstall's highly technical and highly positive classes. Everything here revolves around a barre, so don't be surprised if you're asked to tighten those buns with a few quick relevés after a downward dog, or if you're forced to throw in a few three pound weights during a leg lifting sequence.

11. David Barton Gym – Raul Hernandez

200 S Biscayne Blvd Ste 15A
Miami, FL 33131

(305) 534-1660

Visit Website

Weights, fight training, indoor basketball, yoga, cycling, rock climbing, cardio machines– those are just a few of the ways that David Barton Gym can help you "look better naked."

12. Exhale Spa – Morgan Anderson-Reed

1601 Collins Ave
Miami Beach, FL 33139

(305) 200-1301

Visit Website

If you haven't tried one of Exhale's Core Fusion classes, then get your tush to the gym ASAP. There are two locations that offer spa and fitness amenities–Downtown Miami and South Beach– although you find treatment's Exhale's new Bal Harbour spot (for now). Mind Body Manager Morgan Anderson-Reed leads a mean yoga and barre class, although you can also find bootcamp here as well.

13. Flywheel Sports – Ashli Katz

1919 Purdy Ave
Miami Beach, FL 33139

(305) 763-8227

Visit Website

Walk into Flywheel's stadium-seating cycling class, walk out with up to 1,000 calories burnt. This 45-minute class packs in light weights and endless peddling to playlists that will keep you from slowing down. On the off chance you're not into being locked into a bike, the barre classes here are tough enough to tone, especially if they're lead by Hottest Trainer contestant Ashli Katz, who's known to put together some pretty legit old school hip-hop playlists to go with those leg lifts.

14. Barry's Bootcamp – Derek Degrazio

1835 Purdy Ave
Miami Beach, FL 33139

(786) 888-1699

Visit Website

Barry's Bootcamp is known for two things: insanely hot trainers, and insanely hard classes. When you're not hitting maximum speed on a treadmill you're hitting the weights hardcore, and if Hottest Trainer contestant Derek Degrazio is leading, then you'd better believe that water breaks are not on the agenda. For now, Barry's only has a location in South Beach open, however Midtown should be opening very soon, and another Aventura gym is slated to open early 2017.

15. 24 Hour Fitness – Suyumi Quiroz

2982 Grand Avenue
Miami, FL 33133

(305) 448-2416

Visit Website

Ever wished you could workout at 4am? If you're a member at 24 Hour Fitness, you can. It's your traditional gym– weights, cardio equipment, personal training, group classes– but if you're down for some rump shaking with a Zumba master, then our Hottest Female Trainer Suyumi Quiroz can be found at the gym's Coconut Grove, Miramar, and Pembroke Pines locations.

16. Green Monkey – Megan Eastman

1430 South Dixie Highway
Coral Gables, FL 33146

(786) 953-7709

Visit Website

Ever since Green Monkey merged with Bala Vinyasa, it's been able to expand its network of critically acclaimed yogis, which already included Hottest Trainer contestant and Lululemon ambassador Megan Eastman. With locations in South Beach, Coral Gables, Fort Lauderdale, and Naples, soon there won't be a neighborhood in South Florida where you can't sign up for a Slow Flow or Power Vinyasa class to get your mind and body in check.

1910 Alton Road
Miami Beach, FL 33139

Phone number (305) 979-1005

Phone number (305) 979-1005

If you're in the market for a personal trainer, then take a close look at U-Fit Health and Performance. Here, Cody Patrick has built a hub to host this city's top trainers, who all run their businesses independently under one roof. Cody recently signed a lease to expand his Sunset Harbour gym, which could signal potential group classes for those who aren't interested in personal one-on-one services.

18. Pro Style Athletics – Lance Burns

14260 Southwest 142nd Street
Miami, FL 33186

(786) 537-3040

Whether you're looking to enhance your speed, strength, agility, and flexibility both in season and off, this gym will work on a personalized program for you. That's not to say non-athletes can't throw the weights down with Lance, though; he's kept a long list of happy clients who aren't necessarily basketball or football players that keep coming back for more.
