I would call this a hidden gem of gyms…read more I accidentally discovered Orlando Barbell as I was driving around my area looking for gyms. I was looking for a gym just for the summer and needed a deal. I spoke with the owner Brian, who was super helpful and gave me a 3 month deal so I wouldn't need to pay sign up fees. The gym itself is quite small, but really has everything I need. There's a lot of equipment that may look odd, but the reason is the gym is catered toward powerlifters. Which may sound intimidating but don't be. The people that go to the gym here are all really friendly. They will often acknowledge you as you walk in, unlike other larger gyms, and you won't see one of those Jersey boys walking around. The regulars here are very helpful in answering questions that you may have. Most of the time the gym isn't too packed. The most I've seen on a busy day would probably be about 8 or so. Usually there is only 1 or 2 people around, and the reason is this is a 24 hour gym, so you can come and go whenever. No restrictions if you like to workout at 2 in the morning. They also have a filtered water dispenser which I love, non of that water fountain crap. The reason I deducted 1 star is because some of the seats are starting to look a little worn. Tape has replaced the holes and the tape has started coming off. The place is also a little hard to walk around sometimes, but they use the space well. There aren't too many machines around, basically the most common ones, mostly free weights. The gym is priced really well, only $30 for adults, and there are discounts if your a student, fireman, etc. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a gym around the area.

I've been looking for a powerlifting gym since I compete in raw powerlifting. I had heard about…read morethis place so I decided to check it out. While there were some good things, I was pretty disappointed. I'll start with the good. There's a couple power racks, a decent monolift, and a couple competition style bench presses. There's also resistance bands and chains, along with specialty bars. The people seem very friendly too. As for the bad, there was many things to point out. First, the space is small, but not a deal breaker. The problem is right when you walk in, you'll notice a ton of out of date machines that take up all the space. That space could be used for more power racks, monos, deadlift platforms, etc. This also limits the amount of space used to warm up and/or do mobility work. I feel that if this is a powerlifting gym, it should be catered more towards powerlifters. There's a couple beneficial machines, but I'd much rather just go to an LA Fitness to use machines if I didn't do powerlifting. If the front room had power racks, squat racks, benches, and/or deadlift platforms instead, it would make the place seem bigger. The main room for actual powerlifting is better than the first room, but far from perfect. It's very difficult to get the different kinds of bars because they are tucked away in the corner. There are also a couple pointless pieces of equipment like a calf raise and preacher curl. I don't see why they are in the powerlifting room. MThe deadlift platform also has a bunch of little bumps on it, which creates an ineffective surface to deadlift because the bar will not stay in one place. Overall, this gym will get the job done, but it will be inconvenient. The size is fine, but with the amount of machines, it makes the space seem much smaller. The front room should have actual powerlifting equipment instead of machines that are inferior to other gym's machine. It just seems like this gym doesn't have a set identity. If this is a powerlifting gym, it's a pretty underwhelming one. If it's a bodybuilding/general fitness gym, it's pretty bad compared to the other gyms around like LA Fitness, Crunch, Zoo Healthclub, etc. You can't have both, and with the popularity of powerlifting increasing over the last few years, I'm surprised this gym doesn't just fully embrace powerlifting like they say they do. I've been to other powerlifting gyms, and this one ranks near the bottom for me.

I've been going to EOG with my family since they started in 2023, and my experience with them has…read morebeen positive all along. I'd like to go for a quick in A and out session and sometimes for a complete work out, and I feel I can accomplish that in a safe, clean and comfortable space with them. Their staff is always been kind and helpful, They have a variety of classes to choose, I occasionally take Zumba classes that are so fun. Also, I like that their mobile is very user friendly, and I use it to get in, and to schedule and sign in for classes. One thing I like is that they open until 9 pm during the week, so I can go later after the work day and they have classes available in the evening, they are open the weekends almost a full day, so that's been very convenient for me. Overall I enjoy going to this gym, and definitely recommend it

They both have a serious gymnastics background and coaching background and it shows!! This was my second time coming in the last month while traveling through Orlando going to Miami. Even though I've been instructor for two years at a CrossFit box, these guys continue to help me improve my form for gymnastics and Olympic lifts. It seems to Jeremy keeps a library of all of his movements on his phone. Using the app "coach's eye" he will record your movement and compare it to his own at the same speed. I've been able to do ring muscle ups for over a year but could never string more than seven together. Today Jeremy recorded my muscle ups and broke down how my body was inefficiently moving. He did this in a helpful way so I did not feel stupid but was genuinely concerned with my improvement. His tips really helped me understand what I can do to improve and I look forward to implementing them when I get back home. The overall vibe with this box was one of the friendliest I've seen too. A number of the athletes introduced themselves to me and shook my hand. Are you looking to try CrossFit for the first time or looking for a change from the box you've been attending? I believe this is probably the best CrossFit box you will find within 300 miles, hands down. A wonderful sense of community combined with the best instructors I've seen is the perfect recipe for success.

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.

The workouts are different every day and are one hour long. The coaches are very knowledgeable and attentive. The location is what attracted me first since I live nearby and it is convenient for me. The prices are relatively the same as other crossfit gyms in Orlando. They offer morning classes as early as 6am Monday to Friday and have afternoon and evening classes. They offer yoga a couple times a week and have an olympic weight lifting class also which helps you understand the movements and technique. There is a free class offered on Saturday mornings for new people. Saturday there are two morning classes and closed on Sundays. The great thing about this place is that you can be totally out of shape or an elite athlete and you can do whatever the workout is. All of the workouts are scaled to whatever your capabilities are so do not let your level of fitness stop you from giving it a try.
