I started at Darwin Fitness with Emma a little over a month ago. She is not only a great personal trainer but she is also very knowledgeable on the mechanics of the body, particularly helpful since I had a tkr. I look forward to training with Emma for quite a while to get this body back in shape. Check it out. You can't go wrong.

I realized it was a health priority for me to work on improving my strength and balance as a “senior citizen” if I was to enjoy an active and healthy lifestyle now and in the future. My research on a facility that would help me reach these goals led to Darwin Fitness in Winter Park, an amazing facility with state of the art equipment, clean, organized, appointments only with individualized training and an atmosphere which adds to a positive experience.
During my interview with Dan Harding, Personal Trainer, I was impressed with his high level of professionalism, quick understanding of what my goals are, deep knowledge of fitness and a calm, caring, confident, respectful demeanor, years of experience and educational qualifications inspired my decision to engage the facility. I am pleased with my decision.
I have been training at Darwin Fitness for past 5 months with Dan as my Personal Trainer and Coach. Dan brings to each session a prepared, clear, organized, challenging work out plan tailored for me, explains what it is for, demonstrates how each exercise is to be done and then he is completely laser focused on me as I execute, watching, offering corrections in a caring manner, easy going but firm guidance on proper technique, safety & coaching in an encouraging manner with finesse helps to motivate me to follow his lead. No yelling, shouting, noisy chatter, distractions but quiet applause and commitment to my successful execution and overall wellbeing which helps to motivate me to follow his lead to reach my goals.
Dan’s approach is gradual and so I don’t feel overwhelmed and can trust his judgement to plan the right training for me to reach my goals which I know are not by any means quick sprints but a marathon.
I can’t hardly wait for my next training session with Dan, it’s like a good box of chocolates…never know what I’ll get but I know I will feel stronger and more balanced than when I began.
Thanks Dan.
As soon as I walked into Darwin Winter Park, I knew it was the right gym for me. I signed up online for a complimentary assessment, and during my first visit I met Dan, who is now my personal trainer.
Dan took the time to sit down with me, listen to my goals, and understand exactly what I wanted to achieve. Since we started training together, he has consistently challenged and motivated me to push beyond my limits while keeping me focused on my objectives. Thanks to his guidance and encouragement, I am making great progress and reaching my fitness goals.
If you're looking for a knowledgeable, motivating, and results-driven personal trainer, I highly recommend Dan at Darwin on Lee Road in Winter Park.
Thank you Kevin for the very nice review, from Dan and the Darwin Fitness tea!

I’ve been training at Darwin Fitness and I honestly can’t say enough good things about this place. The entire team is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about helping you improve and reach your goals safely. You can tell they really know what they’re doing, whether you’re just starting out or already experienced.
The gym is always clean, organized, and has such a positive atmosphere every time I walk in. The coaches are amazing people — encouraging, motivating, and always willing to help.
I especially want to give a huge shoutout to Coach Megan. She truly stands out and has made such a difference in my experience here. She’s incredibly supportive, patient, motivating, and makes you feel comfortable while still pushing you to do your best. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and loves what she does. If you’re thinking about joining Darwin Fitness, I highly recommend training with Megan!
Thank you very much for your review and support Debby. Keep smiling!!

Chris has been the perfect fit for my son helping him train for football in the off and on seasons. He’s helping him improve his strength, speed & agility, and focus through Plyometrics, resistance training, and drills. Chris provides consistent motivational support and stays focused on safety at every session. If you have a kid in high school sports, I recommend Chris with Darwin Fitness.
Thank you so much Kelly. Chris is a top Youth Sports Coach. I am glad you and your son appreciate the benefits of his work.

I’ve been working with Megan at Darwin Fitness - the best gym in Winter Park! - and I can honestly say she’s been a game-changer in my fitness journey. Her passion for what she does is truly contagious, and it’s clear that she genuinely cares about my progress.
What I appreciate most about her is her deep knowledge of fitness and her ability to tailor each session to my individual needs. She always has a clear plan to help me reach my goals, and she constantly tracks my progress to ensure I’m improving. No session feels repetitive or boring – she pushes me to be better every time, and I can feel myself getting stronger and more confident.
She is incredibly encouraging and always believes in me, even when I doubt myself. That support has been invaluable, and it motivates me to push through challenges and stay committed. I look forward to every session because I know that with her guidance, I’m always moving closer to my fitness goals.
If you're looking for a trainer who is not only knowledgeable but also passionate, encouraging, and committed to your success, I highly recommend Megan!

My kids and I have been training at Darwin Fitness for about 6 months now. The owner, JS, is awesome, always checking in throughout our process. We’ve worked with two different trainers and they have both been great. They are thoughtful about our workout plan so I get a productive workout that also feels like so much fun for the kids. My kids never want to miss a session, so I feel even better that I’m building life-long healthy habits for them. The new location is very nice and all the staff and clients are very sweet as well. Would recommend this place to all moms needing help to accomplish their workout goals!
Thank you so much Haney for the kind words and to your beautiful family for bringing smiles and positive energy to each of your personal training sessions.
