Fitness & Gyms in Lakeland, FL

“For fifteen months, I have been able to take advantage of personal training, individual nutrition counseling and review, group workout classes, stretching classes, events and challenges for improving my health and fitness. I have suggested Restoration Fitness and Nutrition for my friends and family. Matt, Cissie, Mandy, Melea and Noah have been a great coaching team.Noah encouraged me and verified my adaptations of certain exercises due to my maladies. He is always my biggest ? cheerleader.”

“Best gym out there! This gym, has everything you could ever need and then some. Members are very friendly, no drama or meat market feeling. Everyone cheers on each others achievments, such an awesome atmosphere that Adam has been able to cultivate.”

“Three years ago, I experienced a traumatic accident that left me with broken wrists, arms, and a mild brain injury. Prior to the accident, I was actively engaged in attending classes, participating in various competitions like the Murph and Festivus, and doing drop-ins at CrossFit gyms across different locations including NYC, Anchorage, and Indian reservation areas throughout the US.Starting over after the accident was incredibly challenging for me. It was a humbling experience but also one of the best decisions I ever made. Due to my injuries, I could no longer participate in regular classes and had to start from scratch with dumbbells. Jeremy Duncan became my personal coach, guiding me through this journey. I quickly realized that despite my previous belief, I wasn't as fit as I thought.Before each session with my coach, we discuss nutrition, which has been immensely beneficial. I learned to differentiate between actual hunger and other impulses like thirst, boredom, or stress, and to wait 10 minutes before indulging in a snack. Jeremy's techniques helped me shed excess fat and adopt a healthier lifestyle, which gradually became second nature to me over the years.Every Tuesday at 1:00pm, I would meet with Jeremy for my "wellness day." We started with 5 lb dumbbells due to my limited strength post-injury. With his guidance, I progressed to lifting 40lbs with each wrist. Jeremy corrected my form and technique, highlighting mistakes I didn't even realize I was making, such as not engaging my core or breathing correctly.The accident affected my memory, making simple tasks like jumping rope frustrating and challenging. Jeremy patiently worked with me, using cones to guide my jumps and helping me overcome mental blocks until I regained my ability to jump rope.Before the accident, my fitness score was 74, with a weight of 147lbs, 49lbs of fat, and 54lbs of muscle. Now, my fitness score is in the 80s, with a weight of 141lbs, 42lbs of fat, and 55.6lbs of muscle. Working with Jeremy taught me the importance of proper nutrition, accountability for my food choices, and consistent training.Having experienced a life-altering injury, I initially doubted my ability to return to the gym. Despite being told I would never wear my uniform again, I found strength and resilience with Jeremy's guidance. While my career path shifted, I discovered new opportunities for growth and achievement. With patience and determination, last October, I successfully ran the Detroit Half-Marathon, completing it in 2 hours and 30 minutes.Each week, Jeremy and I discuss my goals and he assigns me homework to work on. I diligently train throughout the week, ensuring I complete the assigned tasks. Jeremy's expertise extends beyond physical training; he can assess my diet and progress accurately. We track our food intake online for accountability.The gym where Jeremy coaches taught me invaluable lessons. It's not a place to punish oneself but to learn pacing and proper form. Overloading ourselves leads to poor form and instability, while carrying only what we can handle ensures proper technique. I encourage anyone seeking guidance and transformation to join this gym and ask for Jeremy – he's truly exceptional!”

“The owner is an awesome dude and worked with me to negotiate a fair deal for using the gym for just 2 months while I was in town. It's compact but has anything you need for a complete workout.If you live in the area and are looking for a gym, I highly recommend Willpower”

“Excellent gym. My daughter improved a lot with them in less than a year. Great coaches. Strict but very motivational and mindful. They also have open gym on Fridays, which is great for extra work/practice at a low cost in a safe environment. ?”

“Great atmosphere and staff. If you are looking for shiny and new, this isn’t the place. This place is for people serious about working out and getting better. Thank you Debs for the hospitality while away from my home gym.”

“As a busy mom of 3 little ones it has always been challenging to do anything truly for myself. I told my mom about Burn months ago and how it looked like something I would be into. She joined , I did not. I was nervous to jump to gun on a membership if it wasn’t going to work out with my lifestyle. Like I said I’m BUSY with kids in sports /school etc! When the special came around for 4 weeks for 69$ I knew I HAD to do it! What could I lose ? I signed up , and I’m so glad I did! These past two weeks have been nothing short of challenging, inspiring, amazing and FUN! I put in the work for only 45 minutes to work towards my goals and to be the best mom I can be! If you have been on the fence , DO IT, and do it for you, because YOU deserve it!”

“Jake is a great instructor and really tries to cater to each of his client’s individual needs. If you’re a beginner or a veteran when it comes to working out, you’ll always get a good session in at LGF. The environment is welcoming and the workouts are challenging.”

“Awesome place to workout!! I drive an hour at least once a week to Lakeland OTF to take class. Coaches are fantastic and are excellent at explaining everything. I don't have to think about what to do, I just follow their instructions and burn those calories!! Lakeland OTF is also in a great area with a Nutrition Spot right next door to grab a protein shake or hydration tea (no caffeine) after your workout. If you haven't tried OTF, you should. Its really the best overall workout I have done and the membership covers class at any OTF in the United States. I have taken class in NYC, Oklahoma City, Tuscaloosa, Little Rock, Johnson City, Nashville, Atlanta and Lakeland. So fun!”

“Ken and his gym are phenomenal! If you’re looking for a gym to build strength and/or muscles, then this is your gym. The equipment is a bit dated, but I prefer that as it gives the gym charm and inspires to be blue-collar-like in my workouts. Thanks, Ken!”

“Been going to Tari since middle school, 12 years later and anytime I'm back in town I make sure to try and book a session with him! He's truly the best, and will work with you based on your goals. Not to mention the community that he's created, you are known by name and get cheered on by everyone that's there. It's a space for everyone, no matter where you're at in your fitness journey. I've never felt so strong and confident! Book a session with Tari, I promise you won't regret it.”

“My favorite fitness studio, and I have tried many. The instructors are amazing and owners and staff have always been incredibly accommodating to me. I have been struggling with some health issues for the last 2 years and they have always been willing to work with me and my membership while dealing with those ups and downs. I also feel incredibly safe and not judged at all every time I’ve attended a class. I could not recommend BC enough. Hope to become a member again soon!”

“This gym has given me the best experience and instruction on fitness I've ever received. The owner greets me by name every time he sees me, and all of the coaches have been incredibly helpful. They take the time with everyone. You can tell Mike cares deeply about his businesses and so do all of his staff, making it an awesome experience and gym to workout in!”

“We move around a lot so I have tried a lot of the gyms in the area. This is by far my favorite, very clean facility and equipment+ the best showers of any anytime fitness in the area”

“"I recently had the pleasure of visiting Breaking Barbells, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. The facility is spacious and well-equipped with all the necessary gear for a great workout. The coaches and owner are truly top-notch, providing expert guidance and motivation throughout my session. I highly recommend Breaking Barbells to anyone looking for a fantastic CrossFit experience. You won't be disappointed!"P.S. They have lifting blocks that are actually easily accessible”

“This is a high quality fitness facility for an extremely reasonable cost. The locker room and shower areas are always neat. The staff goes out of their way to make the members feel welcome and comfortable. I have to give a shout out to the manager, Sarah, who has been wonderful at working with me to make this facility more accessible for people like myself who have physical disabilities. I also appreciate the fact that I can use my arm floats when exercising in the pool. This has helped me tremendously as I begin to walk again!I highly recommend Esporta!”

“I’m a SEU student and i have a free membership here. Just want to say that this gym is the best gym in lakeland hands down. The front desk people are so nice and everyone here is kind. The facility is clean and uptight! 5 stars for sure!”

“Nice gym to work out at the staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful which your workout plan and especially the guy that does the training and classes very knowledgeable”

“I started going Feb 1 and so far, it's been worth it. They have upgraded and added different equipment now. This one is close to my home and the hours are very convenient. So glad I decided to join.”

“Great space, very clean, plenty of equipment and excellent staff.Only complaints are the price increases on the shakes and its almost impossible to find an open spot in the parking lot. Typically spend 3 to five minutes driving around the lot trying to find a space.”
