New ownership, new name, same floor

The gym at 12425 Taft St in Pembroke Pines has changed hands. It is becoming LTE Wellness. It was previously Unbound Synergy Fitness & Boxing, and if that is the name you have in your phone or on a receipt, you are in the right place — same building, same phone number, same mats.

Why the name is changing

A new owner with a different idea of what the gym should be gets to put a different name over the door. The idea in this case is straightforward: one gym, three disciplines taken equally seriously, and one membership that covers all of them instead of a pricing sheet that makes you pick.

The name follows the idea. “Wellness” is doing real work in it — a boxing gym that also runs jiu-jitsu and a proper strength program is not only a fight gym, and calling it one undersells what most members actually come for.

What is not changing

• The address. 12425 Taft St Second floor, Pembroke Pines, FL 33028. Floors 1 and 2, inside the Pines Ice Arena building.
• The phone number. (954) 436-6656, the same one that has always rung the gym.
• The Google profile. The 151 reviews and the 4.8 rating were written about this gym, and they carry over with it. The profile name updates as the rename completes.
• The boxing. It is the discipline the gym was built on and the reason most people know it. It is not being diluted to make room for anything else.

What is changing

• One unlimited membership across boxing, jiu-jitsu and personal training, replacing the previous pricing structure.
• Three real programs rather than one program plus two side offerings, each with its own coaching and its own place on the timetable.
• A rebuilt schedule as the coaching roster settles. The schedule page says plainly which times are confirmed and which are not, and right now most are not.
• New coach profiles, published on the coaches page once each one is confirmed by the coach in question.

About Juan

The new owner’s own words go here — why he bought this gym, what he trains, and what he wants it to be in two years. Nothing is written in his voice until he has said it himself.

If you were a member before

Nothing about your training has to change. Call (954) 436-6656 and ask how your existing membership maps onto the new one — that is a conversation for a person, not a website.

How existing memberships transfer — to be confirmed with the gym.

Where the gym sits in Pembroke Pines

Taft Street runs east to west across the middle of the city, which puts the gym within a short drive of Miramar, Cooper City, Davie, Weston as well as the rest of Pembroke Pines. Broward is a market with plenty of gyms and not many places where you can box, grapple and lift under one membership. The City of Pembroke Pines publishes the local parks and recreation calendar, and Broward County Public Schools sets the term dates that most families here plan their week around.
