The BÜNDA Story

BÜNDA was founded in Los Angeles with a focused mission: to create a lower-body targeted workout that delivers both strength and cardio benefits. Named after the Brazilian slang for 'butt', BÜNDA uses stair machines and dumbbells to sculpt and tone in a way that aims to be both functional and aesthetic.

The studio’s minimalist vibe and science-backed programming have attracted a cult-like following in LA. With a growing digital platform and an emphasis on glute development and metabolic training, BÜNDA has carved out its own unique space in boutique fitness.

The Reception Service

From the moment we arrived at BÜNDA Coral Gables, the welcome felt upbeat, polished, and genuinely warm. The front desk team greeted us right away, introduced themselves, and asked about our fitness goals and training habits to help us find the right fit. Check-in was smooth and efficient, with just the right balance of professionalism and friendliness.

We were given a quick tour of the space, shown where to store our belongings, and offered a towel along with a thoughtful first-timer gift bag—a nice personal touch that set a positive tone.

After class, the team followed up to ask how we enjoyed the session and walked us through membership options with clarity and confidence. Their approach felt authentic and never pushy, rounding off an experience that was both polished and personable.

The Class Experience

BÜNDA Coral Gables received The Fit Guide 5-Star Class Experience Award, making it one of Miami's stand-out offerings.

The class was challenging in all the right ways—high-energy, motivating, and well-structured. It began with a clear induction that covered everything from StairMaster setup to what to expect in the strength segment, making it easy to follow from the start. The instructor’s confident, encouraging delivery kept the group engaged and focused throughout.

The format struck a great balance: half StairMaster cardio, half lower-body strength. Transitions were smooth, the pacing felt natural, and the music kept energy levels high. The coach moved around the room offering helpful cues and subtle corrections to keep everyone safe and on track. A brief cooldown rounded out an empowering session that felt both professional and personal.

The Equipment And Studio

The studio was sleek, stylish, and unmistakably on-brand, with its black-and-pink color scheme, bold slogans, and carefully placed logos creating a sense of identity the moment we stepped in. The lighting gave the room a polished, energetic vibe, and the overall design made the space feel both inspiring and functional.

All of the equipment was in top condition and well-maintained. The StairMasters were spotless and ready to go, and the strength equipment, including dumbbells, mats, and resistance bands, was clean and neatly organized. The spacing between stations made it easy to move comfortably throughout the class, and the sound system added to the high-energy atmosphere without being overpowering.

It was a fresh, motivating setup that perfectly matched the brand’s performance-driven image.

The Facilities And Public Areas

The sense of arrival at BÜNDA Coral Gables started from the street, with large windows and doors covered in brand logos and slogans that instantly set the tone. Inside, the public areas were spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed. Books, photos, and decorative touches gave the space a cozy and inviting feel, while still maintaining a professional fitness aesthetic.

Changing areas and bathrooms were tidy and stocked with useful amenities like deodorant, face wash, and hair ties, all attractively presented. Though the bathrooms looked slightly more dated than the rest of the studio, they were still well-maintained. Only one shower was available, but it was spotless, offered good water pressure, and came stocked with shampoo and conditioner. Complimentary workout towels were folded neatly at the front desk, and a refillable water fountain made staying hydrated easy.

The only things missing were lockers and shower towels, but overall, the atmosphere felt fresh, organized, and aligned with the brand’s sleek, confident style.

Digital And Technology

Booking our first class was easy and intuitive through both the website and app. Everything was clearly laid out, and we appreciated how the policies and arrival instructions were explained up front.

The website mirrored the studio’s confident and modern look, with its peach color palette, bold typography, and clear messaging about the brand’s science-backed approach. It was easy to navigate, with class schedules and offers just a click away.

The brand’s Instagram was excellent, visually consistent, and frequently updated with inspiring content that reflected the experience inside the studio.
