Dusty, sultry interiors, glamor-negative, walls scribbled with slogans — such is the kind of raw passion that drives bodybuilders into Metroflex Gym. Couple this with the decade-long commitment of 8x Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman to the gym, Metroflex is a no-nonsense space. The franchise has recently opened a new branch in Tampa, Florida, and the inauguration would have been incomplete without the presence of The King.

Witnessing ‘The King’ at the new branch of Metroflex Gym, fans could not help contain their excitement and were all praise of him.

“What’s up, everybody! We here in Tampa, Florida, for the opening of the Metroflex Gym Tampa. We got a nice crowd here, getting ready to take some photos, sign some autographs, and just meet and greet as many people as I can. Yeah buddy!” shared Coleman.

Ronnie Coleman found solace in Metroflex Gym. Coleman’s deep connection to Metroflex began when he first stepped foot in the gym, instantly recognizing its potential to propel him to greatness. For this very reason, years after his retirement, Matt Fuhs, owner of Metroflex Tampa, still has an old bench that Coleman used in a famous shoulder barbell press video, present at the gym. The bench is relocated from the original training facility which was in Arlington, Texas.
