Start to finish: AMAZINGGGGG workout and experience overall!!! The instant access 24/7 online sign-up is such a GENIUS concept and helped set the tone for what ended up being a very memorable one-of-a-kind experience that I will always have to look back on. That being said, when it comes to future first-time visitors, PLEASE bear in mind that there is a lot of history and passion within these walls that yields a culture and environment deeply rooted and based on discipline, hard work, dedication, and getting the most mileage out of your workout. In other words, come in ready to work from the get-go, and as long as you're doing what you're supposed to be doing and adhering to the policies outlined in the instant access 24/7, you'll be primed to have one of the most memorable workouts ever! (The best analogy I can provide: think of Kissimmee Muscle Gym as a library, when you take a book off the shelf in the library, you put it back where you found it once you're done reading it. The same principle applies at this establishment -- once you're done using the weight/weights, put them back exactly where you found them and there will be no issues).
Before my visit, I watched a good bit of Kissimmee Muscle's content on YouTube and Instagram which helped paint the picture in getting familiar with the floor layout and equipment and would highly encourage anyone thinking about visiting to do the same. HUGE bonus points as well for playing "Winner Takes It All" by Sammy Hagar as part of the floor playlist -- one of my all-time favorite gym songs!
Along with the mission of visiting Kissimmee Muscle Gym for a memorable workout, I was also on the hunt for some specific pieces of merchandise I saw online via their website. Looking around in the pro shop area I was greeted by Zara who was FANTASTIC and with no hesitation asked me how my workout was and proceeded to walk me through a timeline of the rich history of some of the famous names and productions (such as American Gladiators) that have worked out within their walls. Shortly after that, I had the opportunity to meet the Faceman, Frontman, Man about town himself, Jonathan McGrael which definitely put the stamp on what was such a positive and memorable experience. The time that Jonathan and Zara take to get to know their travelers and where they are visiting from as well as just interacting with their clientele on a human level really won me over as a future repeat traveling member.
Jonathan and Zara: Keep up the great work and thank you for all that you do in providing Central Florida a Grade-A destination to train! I wish you all the best and I will definitely be back!!!!!

Ā Ā Ā Read moreThe gym itself is pretty decent, they have all the equipment you need to get your workout done. The only issue is the owner, he has extremely poor customer service skills. I witnessed a couple circumstances where he mistreated people, and also heard from some members who were not happy with his demeanor. For the most part I just ignored, but when he finally decided to show his true colors against me, I decided to cancel my membership right away and enroll to another gym. I'm not some kid that you can try to intimidate and do nothing about it, I come to the gym to workout, relax and stay healthy, not to deal with management people who don't know how to threat their loyal members. If you use this facility, I recommend going during daytime hours, because the rest of the staff is very nice, friendly and professional. The owner works mostly at night. I would consider returning to this location and become a member again, but only when it changes ownership.
You can also see some reviews here with people with similar complaints, the reply is always the same: "This review is not from anyone who has ever visited Kissimmee Muscle 24 Hour Gym". In case you see this reply, I was a member for a few months, so yes, I did visit Kissimmee Muscle 24hr Gym. Gilson S.
Follow-up to owner's reply: Jonathan, as I mentioned on my feedback, this has nothing to do with the Gym itself, I believe you have great equipment and atmosphere (when you're not there), even for the " those in a typical commercial or apartment fitness center" type of people, as you seem to describe members like me. I've been to many gyms and never minded working out along with the "pros", but what I can't accept is being disrespected by staff members, specially the owner, who's supposed to set the example. You also mentioned: "would have been nice to hear from you while you were still a member". That's exactly what I did on our last conversation. I told you in your face - but very respectfully, man to man, exactly what was going on, and your "professional" reply was: "We don't need to interact. If you're not happy, you can go". So that's what I did, I left, simple solution. I don't wish anything bad to you guys, but I honestly recommend you, Jonathan, to stay away from customer service interactions, let the rest your staff handle that. Friendly advise: Hire somebody else to stay the night shift and stick to running the business...
