From the first day I walked through their doors just to see what it was like, I knew this was the place for me. The co-owners are firefighter veterans which pretty much sold me right away because my husband is a firefighter. But what kept me coming back was how amazing the coaching staff is and how quickly I felt at home. They are constantly looking for ways to improve the structure of our training and what helps the majority of the members, not just the elite few. They are also very flexible when it comes to open gym time and trying to squeeze in personalized training sessions. The coaches are well trained and care more about safety and technique before setting PRs and time records. The box is well equipped and has tons of space. They also have an amazing Recovery Station that boasts the best in rest and recovery to include an onsite sports massage therapist. I love the monthly challenges and membership recognition for those who have been around a long time. We’ve got dedicated members that drive from as far north as Casselberry (maybe even further) because this place is just THAT AMAZING!!
They are super family friendly and I’m absolutely in love with the coaches’ kids. My daughter comes with me on occasion and she has just as much fun even if it’s just sitting on the couch in the air conditioned front office.

Read moreI came to SOCF a little over a year ago at the absolute lowest point in my life. Personal issues aside, I had gain almost 80 lbs since getting out of the USMC.
I didn’t come with any expectations, I only wanted to a gym to work out at…. The first extremely humbling week, I spent more time star fish faced down on the floor than working out … No one criticized or made me feel like I didn’t belong .
Over a few weeks of just showing up, I started to finish work outs.. RX or Scale It didn’t matter … I was finishing them and the encouragement I got from the veteran members pushed me to get up and do 1 more Rep , 1 more round …
I came for a place to work out and go home after but I didn’t find that…. Instead, I have made friends , been to beach socials, holiday parties, baby showers, watched each other’s kids learn to walk, and become part of a family.
Somewhere way second to the experience of being part of SOCF , I lost 46 lbs . After 1 year, I am the strongest I have been since I was in my mid to late twenties, and I have set new goals for the next year…..The Recover room Is pretty amazing as well.
Point is … if you are looking for a gym, box , what ever you want to call it, for what ever the reason that may be personal to you, South Orlando Cross fit will check each of those boxes, as well as many you may have not known needed checking .
Pick a time and show up 10 or so minutes before like I did . You...
Read moreThis box is fantastic! Attention to detail, supportive coaches, a true engagement in the classes, the atmosphere is extremely welcoming, great support for first timers, and you will find results if you stay committed.
Extended review….I had been out of serious conditioning for some time, and ventured into SOCF once I heard about Crossfit. Trevor has created an amazing atmosphere that supports those who are beginners in the Crossfit arena and even those who veterans. As a testament I had brought one of my friends to the gym who did not engage in weight training nor know any of the Crossfit movements. Trevor took extraordinary care with her and coordinated with the other Coaches in the box to help her become comfortable. This really meant a lot and I can see that this box is truly committed to the wellness and betterment of their clients. Because of this engagement, Trevor along with his Coaches have created a family atmosphere which keeps bringing you back for more and more. Both my friend and I have never been this motivated before to workout and to keep consistent with it as well. If you are looking for a change in your life and want to make that first step, have no doubts walking into SOCF. You will be greeted with friendly faces and a commitment to change and excellence. Take that first step and you won’t be disappointed. Definitely worth the...
