Steel Mill Total Wellness — Local services in Fruit Cove

I have been doing CrossFit for 3 years now, with the last 2.5 years at Steel Mill. As an introvert, it’s very difficult to walk into a new gym (I moved frequently thanks to the US Navy). When I walked into this gym, I immediately knew it was the place for me and signed up on the spot. The classes are small, which allows one on one coaching, plus I paid for some extra personal coaching to work on some personal goals. As a 40+ year old, it’s nice to walk into a gym full of hard working adults with full time jobs and families that are closer to my age, which is somewhat unusual in most gyms. Our coaches do all of their own programming, which is awesome because they focus on skills for everyone and also hold special classes or seminars to work on more difficult skills like dubs and handstand work. And we are always given lots of options to scale as needed. Since I started training there, I finally achieved my first strict pull up, which I could never do despite 20+ years of military service. And once I finally started paying attention to my nutrition thanks to great nutrition counseling, I have dropped several percent in body fat while gaining muscle. I recently moved over 50 miles away but continue to train at Steel Mill because I love it so much and refuse to...

I’ve been doing CrossFit on and off now since 2012, and have been a member of different boxes in many different states and SteelMill Fleming Island is probably hands down the best overall box I’ve been to. From the owner, to the coaching and the other members this box welcomes all fitness levels. If you hear the rumors of CrossFit boxes being snotty and cliquey, believe them for the most part because I have experienced it time and time again, even at boxes that I frequent when I visit family. You will NOT find that here! The coaching is awesome, they always make reasonable accommodations to build you up to the next level, whether it’s due to years of not working out or an injury, you WILL build in strength and stamina. I was inconsistent with CrossFit for the last few years due to a fractured spine, doctors said not to do anything, so I tried that, made it far worse bc everything got weaker. After a few states and a few moves I found SteelMill Fleming Island and it has done wonders for my back. My strength has improved, I am learning what honestly hurts and what I am just being a chicken about, they don’t let me slack but they are cautious and awesome at finding modifications when I know “it’s just not happening”! This place is...

I cannot say enough good things about Steel Mill Total Wellness. My family and I moved to the area in 2024 and after months of not having a home gym I found Steel Mill out of pure luck. I was a member of a functional fitness gym in my home town for 15 years that felt like home and when I moved away I never expected to find that again. But I could not have been more wrong. I walked into Steel Mill on a Monday to talk to the owner to get a feel for it and on Tuesday I started my free week of training. It didn’t take long to realize this place was my new home. I made it two whole classes into my trial period before I signed up to become a member. Head Coach Jalese is a monster in the best of ways. Her programming is sharp, her style comes through all of her workouts and her passion for her gym and the members is the forefront of Steel Mill Total Wellness. If you are looking to get in shape or change your lifestyle, then give Steel Mill a chance. Come as you are, come laugh, come get sweaty meet new friends and have fun getting healthy, you will...
