Orlando Magic Recreation Center — Attraction in Winter Park

The Orlando area really drove a good bargain demanding the Magic organization build these recreational centers in exchange for support to build the new arena. I wasn't hopeful of the proposed usefulness of the buildings and was actually quite surprised when the Goldenrod location was chosen.

Actually, I was a little upset by it, but only because they need to use some of the land the park and tennis courts were on for the new building.

The building is wonderful though. It's modest, but clean and functional. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and the area is relatively safe as well.

The game room is wonderfully retro; it is also modest but the few games it does have are all favorites of mine and my family, so when we go we could literally spend hours just in the game room.

I've not yet been to any of their fitness classes, and I have not had a membership there yet, so I can't speak to those aspects. But, because of all the positive experiences I've had at this gym so far as a non-member, I'm convinced the absolutely rock-bottom price for their yearly members has to be worth it.

Kids are free, and adults pay only $100/year. You pay for the classes per month or per session, which is really convenient for those of us who have hectic schedules.

The weight room is by no means technology advanced, but I don't need or use any of the fancy machines at the other gyms I've been a member of (long-time YMCA member, short-time LA Fitness member).

I was hesitant to even write a review of this place, because honestly, I don't want my family's little secret to get out, that this place is amazing...

For a long time I wanted to write a review in reference this place. They change the management and I try to give them a chance. But...the management is about young people without any sense of cleanness concept. I go here almost everyday. Everyday is a issue. No good equipment at ALL. Who ever make the change need to understand that setting is DANGEROUS no space at all. The equipment (weights) all over the place on the floor and dirty. They also running an after school program.Zumba classes, Hiit, Jazzercise and so on. Last night 10/18/18 I went to get a class and I turn my back home. If they running an afterschool program and the floor is filthy why they don't clean the floor before 6pm. The floor last night was horrendous. The passed management always keep that place NEAT! bathroom, floor, everything in place and CLEAN. Right now is refrigerators on the room..... where people do Jazzercise, Zumba and other classes. Really they need to check on this is not fair that I have to pay and support the community center but the money is where is not shining. I give then 0 stars. They need to clean and organized that place. Put adults with common sense and really want to work not sitting in front of the computer, or cell phones, sitting watching TV or...

This is a great place for sports, working out, or just cooling down. They have a great program for kids & adults to play basketball freely for a certain amount of time everyday. It's also very clean and sophisticated. If you have a child (17 and under) that enjoys playing basketball, you can sign them up for a FREE membership and it allows them to come in on their own (or with a parent/guardian), scan their ID, receive a basketball if it's available, and play. They also have a game room, featuring ping pong, air hockey, and other games. They have a gym room, recreational rooms, tennis courts, and bathrooms as well. Overall, it's an amazing place that has lots of...
