Real Fitness Sarasota has been serving the Sarasota community for over 14 years. Owned and operated by Tanya Poppa and Meredith Donohue, RFS was built on the belief that quality coaching and a welcoming community are the foundation of long-term success in health and fitness.

While CrossFit remains at the core of what we do, we've continued to grow alongside the needs of our members. Over the past six years we've expanded into private coaching, and in the last three years we've become a training facility for HYROX athletes, offering specialized programming for everyone from first-time competitors to experienced racers.

What has never changed is our approach to coaching.

We believe great coaching goes beyond writing workouts. Our coaches are focused on teaching movement well, helping members train safely and effectively, and creating an environment where people feel supported regardless of their experience or goals.

Whether you're looking to build strength, improve your conditioning, compete, or simply establish a sustainable fitness routine, our goal is to provide the coaching, programming, and accountability to help you get there.

At Real Fitness Sarasota, members aren't just joining a gym, they're joining a community that values consistency, hard work, and supporting one another both inside and outside the gym.
