I wanted a place in Winter Park that focused only on personal training, and I actually found Darwin Fitness on Yelp. The reviews mentioned a clean, friendly, and safe environment, and that is exactly what convinced me to try it. Two years later I am so glad I did. I feel stronger, my eating habits have improved, my endurance is better, and I have much more confidence. I truly recommend Darwin Fitness. The trainers are professional, kind, and in my opinion the best personal trainers in Winter Park.

JS, the owner, and his team of certified trainers taught me how to train efficiently. I only work out three times a week for 30 minutes, and it's been enough to completely change my body. I'm down about 20 pounds on the scale, but what really surprised me is the actual body change: roughly 30 pounds of fat gone and around 15 pounds of muscle gained. I feel stronger and healthier than I ever expected from such short sessions. The trainers are super nice, knowledgeable, and always there to help or encourage you when you need it. It never feels intimidating, just supportive. JS also just built a brand-new 3,000 sq ft facility at 2250 Lee Road in Winter Park, designed only for personal training. It's clean, modern, and honestly just a great place to work out. I really love it there. If you want efficient training with people who actually care, Darwin Fitness is worth checking out.

She is upbeat and encouraging, but will nonetheless kick your butt, exactly what I wanted in a personal trainer. I am in my 50's now and as strong as I've ever been. Not only is Meral one of the best at what she does, but she is also kind, fun, and warm to be around. For someone who always feels better after working out but still always wishes I had a reason not to exercise, she actually makes it something to look forward to in my day. I can't recommend Meral more highly to anyone of any age or level. She can do it all!

She can help you with nutrition, weight lifting, cardio and is willing to work on your timeline/goals whether a slow track to better fitness or a fast track to a deadline. Honestly, do yourself a favor and hire her. She is phenomenal!!

I booked online through…read moretheir website for a same-day appointment and then a member of their team called me to get a bit more info about my goals and provided me with additional info to prepare me for my first stretch session. I have not worked out or done much physical activity since I had a baby, so one of my goals is to increase my mobility and flexibility before just jumping back into exercise. She let me know that non-slip grippy socks are required which was good to know. They do have them available for purchase in store if you forget or need to get some. Upon arrival, I was kindly greeted and instructed to remove my shoes and get ready with my socks on. My flexologist was Mackenzie and she was wonderful. She walked me back to the stretch bench and began to explain the process and everything she was going to be doing. First, they have you take a quick Physmodo scan which involves doing some squats on a screen and it assesses your mobility, posture, activation, and symmetry. This tells the flexologist the areas that they need to focus on, and they customize each stretch session specifically to your needs. My scans revealed that I was especially tight in my hamstrings, neck, and hips. Then you lay down on the table and they begin to gently stretch your full body. Wow, it felt amazing and I didn't want it to end! It should never be painful and Mackenzie checked in with me often to make sure I was comfortable. It's almost like physical therapy. After my session, they provided me with more info on their memberships and pricing. While I really wanted to commit to a membership, I did have a bit of sticker shock. A single stretch session goes up to $115 each time or a membership is $299/month which includes 4 stretch sessions... basically one per week. I unfortunately just could not justify the cost, but I really did enjoy the experience. They have a $49 special for your first 50-minute intro session and it is 100% worth trying!

They're working hard to make this gym very competitive in the Central Florida area and compete with gyms like Orlando Metro. The recreational classes weren't as challenging as I would have liked, but I assume it's hard to find a ton of skilled gymnastics coaches and most of their best coaches are focused on team practices and privates. However, I'd recommend starting with a recreational class to actually gauge your child's interest. If they enjoy it, I'd add on a private lesson to truly help with particular skills. I think Legacy is a great gym to get kids started in competitive gymnastics. We love our three Bronze coaches and I've heard all positive things about Silver, Gold and Level 5 and 6 coaches as well. The only area I see for improvement is the one on one time gymnasts get in practice because there are a lot of girls per level. If you're looking for a ton of one on one coaching, you have to supplement that with private lessons (or find a much smaller/elite gym).

We chose the JCC due to their excellent reputation for having great programs and warm, loving, highly certified teachers who have been there for years. They welcome families from all faiths, cultures and backgrounds and do not ask you for this personal information on sign-up. Sign-up process: Very smooth. We signed up for Fall preschool some time around Valentines day this year (yep- 6 months in advance). Be sure to call in January and get the exact sign-up date for the year. They take a certain number of students and then start a waitlist. They keep their class sizes relatively small and will try to hire teachers to maintain the proper ratio. They have both full time and part time classes. Beware that they open registration to previous students and siblings of previous students first. Step-up: This is a class conducted in the Shayna's Village wing of the facility. It's a stepwise process introducing your child to being in a classroom environment. Starts off with caregivers fully engaged along with children, then a few weeks later all caregivers on the sidelines, then a few weeks later, caregivers drop off children and can view progress through the one-way window if desired. Very good for kids used to being at home alone with caregiver who parents want to gently transition to classroom environment. They have a set schedule with repetition which is very helpful because young kids are more comfortable being left alone once they have the routine down. My son enjoys a variety of activities including music, Judaica, outside and indoor free play, snack and story time and circle time. Amenities: Family JCC membership comes with enrollment for the school year! They have a great fitness center with classes like cardio/dance bootcamp, activities like Israeli dancing and potluck shabbat, and childcare opportunities like drop off for date nights. During the summer we have been enjoying the pool parties which happen once per month and include lunch. They have tennis courts and recently started a pickle ball league. Facility: On the older side but very well kept. Classrooms very clean. Lots of additions to the original building make for a maze-like feel but once you are there a couple of times, you can find your way. The entrance has double doors and you are required to show ID prior to entering (unless you have your membership/key card). There are security guards on campus. Promotes a feeling of safety without it looking scary. There is a new Barnies coffee stand in the front with yummy drinks, some snacks and treats. New families should be sure not to miss new parent orientation so you can get an overview of all of the services and events.

We took our daughter here recently to get some wiggles out and just enjoy learning a new skill. She's only been skating a few times around our neighborhood and we thought that this would be an immersive way to get her into the hobby. Definitely check out their calendar of events and when they have good offers and deals. You're likely to score a cheaper price than regular pricing if you pay attention. They also have themed nights and exclusive school nights. You can bring your own skates but you'll need to make sure that they pass the skate check. They do have some limitations on skates you bring in to ensure that their floors don't get torn up. As a side note you'll also want to make sure you bring in identification for all adults, and leave any food or drinks that come from outside in your car. Learned both of these the hard way. They have a smaller child skating area that helps them learn before they get out onto the bigger floor. Our daughter enjoyed this so that she had a little bit of time to learn before being thrown into a large space. We did have her try out the large space after about an hour of practice. They also have a limited number of arcade games, a small cafe, and a birthday party room. Overall: A Well it is a bit dated and could use some upgrades, it brings with it all the nostalgia of my childhood so it was still a win. I would definitely come back for a visit but try again on a non weekend day when the pricing is a little bit lower.
