Sandestin Fitness Center — Local services in Miramar Beach

Taking into consideration that I am currently 16 years old, have had years of experience working out with weights, and have worked out at several other gyms that not only allow me to workout, but encourage it. The Sandestin fitness club employee rudely told me that I was “too young” to workout at the club. This made me feel unwelcome and discouraged me as a young adult from working out on my vacation to Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort.

Multiple people can use the pass at once, it will just use that number of visits off of the pass. For example, 3 people can go at once and use the same pass but it will use 3 of the remaining visits...

Good fitness center with lots of cardio machines, good stretching and yoga areas, and a good weight lifting area with most things you'd want for a good workout. They also offer sporadic fitness classes.
