Hardcore Fitness SODO — Local services in Edgewood

Just finished my second class and I love it! I was introduced to Hardcore Fitness by a good friend who has been attending for a few months now, who was also referred by another friend who has been a member for almost two years!

I absolutely love the circuit style weight lifting routines that combine machine, free weights, and calisthenics. As a 37 year old woman at the very beginning stages of perimenopause, I’ve been shifting my exercise focus from mostly cardio to more weight training to build bone density and muscle mass as I age. Ladies, this is the place to work out! You get the social aspect of group class, with one on one individual coaching for perfecting form which is paramount for safety, and most importantly, results! At Hardcore Fitness, you get the burn, the sweat, and the results, without the excessive treadmill cardio like Orange Theory.

Having grown up as an Equestrian junior and adult amateur athlete, fitness has always been a part of my lifestyle. I’ve done everything from running, yoga, boot camps, Cross Fit (dangerous unless you’re an Olympic Qualified lifter), Orange Theory, and Beach Body…. And I have to say, Hardcore Fitness is the ultimate culmination of them all. It’s expensive, but so is being sick and unhealthy. Unfortunately, I am not local, I attended while in town visiting my friend…. But if I still lived in Orlando, I would pay for HardCore Fitness!! I’ll be back for sure whenever...

Don’t join this gym unless you are prepared to be a member for the rest of your life. I’m highly disappointed in this gym’s poor communication. The gym itself is great. The instructors and the facility are fabulous. But don’t join unless you are prepared to be a member forever. They make freezing or canceling your membership absolutely impossible. Especially if you have moved away from Orlando and can’t make the request at the gym in person. I initially attempted to freeze my membership, but when I called the number to the facility, no one answered. EVER. Leaving messages is pointless, and sending texts to the same number is just as useless. A staff member might respond to every fourth text if you’re lucky. I finally just gave up and decided to cancel my membership altogether but again, they make that process impossible. It takes months and months to even get a representative to respond to you and in the meantime they continue to charge you your membership dues. The only success I had receiving a response was messaging them on Instagram, but I was told to make the cancellation request official, I had to email the facility directly. I’ve emailed them three times at this point and still have not received a response. My only course of action now is to completely cancel my credit card so they will stop billing me. So beware to all new members. Don’t join unless you are ready to be a member for the rest...

Hardcore Fitness is not just a gym it’s my second home. I was recommended this gym by a friend and it sure changed my life, my physique, my strength and many other factors. The engagement and care that the owners Daniel, Dianis and trainers give is 100% real. There is no discrimination at all any person is welcome to try no matter the age, weight, strength or condition you might have. Trainers will adjust if needed depending on your needs! Giselle is great in her classes always with a welcoming and enthusiastic personality. She has help me so much not only physically but also in a motivating way with my fitness journey. Everyone is caring and welcoming since, we are all there for the same goal. One other thing I love about this gym is that they offer 60 days challenges quarterly where you can weight loss or muscle gain and they really work if you put...
