Gyms & Fitness Centers in Lake Mary

TBC24 Fitness Center owner Mark Bodine’s 18-year personal-training career began at another gym, where his sessions became so popular that he eventually landed his own private studio within the gym’s walls. That studio grew into the 24-hour fitness center he operates today. In addition to being the official training destination for the Lakeland Raiders indoor-football team, the TBC staff hosts personal and group training sessions, all of which are accompanied by nutritional coaching that helps clients choose the right foods and avoid eating the meat of nutritionless cookie monsters. Their workouts, such as Boot Camp, Kalorie Killer, and Plyometrics classes, make extensive use of the facility’s free weights, strength machines, and treadmills as well as a separate studio stocked with Pilates reformers.

With his foray into acting and politics, many people forget that Arnold Schwarzenegger was once a professional body builder and former Mr. Universe. Arnold Kolozvari didn't forget—it was Schwarzenegger's superhero-like physique that influenced him to join the world of fitness training in the first place. Born in Hungary, Kolozvari competed in the body-building sphere in Romania, armed with nothing but the diligence, drive, and metallic Skynet endoskeleton he borrowed from his idol Schwarzenegger. Fueled by a desire to train others, he eventually made his way to the United States, where he teamed up with the Revive’s other half, Danny Legault, a 13-year hockey veteran who devoted seven years of service to the United States Marine Corps. The duo joined forces and opened up their own fitness center, where they’ve since trained a client base that includes the Bethune-Cookman University baseball team and numerous Miss Florida and Miss America pageant contestants.

Kolozvari and Legault happily adapt the functional movements in their boot camps and group cardio classes to suit students of any skill level, age, or physical ability, welcoming anyone ranging from teen athletes to senior citizens. To offer a rounded approach to physical fitness and overall well-being, they can also supplement group workouts with nutritional plans and one-on-one personal-training sessions.

Powerhouse Gym's clean, brightly lit fitness facility blooms with activity 24 hours a day, seven days a week. As clients speed toward goals on cardio machines—including ellipticals, rowing machines, and recumbent bikes—or tussle with a huge selection of free weights, instructors lead hundreds of fitness classes that range from TRX Suspension to ballroom dancing. After working out, members can unwind on the facility's clinical-grade hydro-massage machine, kick back in one of the lie-down tanning beds, or socialize at the onsite café area. As a family-friendly facility, the gym also offers a supervised Kids Club devoid of child-devouring boogeymen.

Elite World Class Fitness populates its well-stocked, 28,000-square-foot gym facilities with welcoming employees, whose energy and attentiveness help each guest realize his or her full fitness potential. Yellow walls reflect the club's sunny atmosphere and deflect free-floating thunderclouds as mounted televisions cast a warm glow over a fleet of cardio machines. After toning muscles on strength-training equipment, guests can make their way into studios especially designed for spinning, yoga, boxing, and group fitness classes such as Zumba, sass jazz cardio, and belly fitness.

Manager Rhett Wickham unites his 25 years of experience in the guest-services industry and the know-how he cultivated as an amateur bodybuilder into guiding others to fitness achievement. He helms the Winter Park Anytime Fitness, the doors of which are open 24 hours a day. Personal trainers and tanning assistants are on hand to help guests until 7 p.m. Monday–Friday and until 4 p.m. on Saturday. During these hours, they help clients navigate the rich forest of strength training, cardio equipment, and tanning beds.

Inside Rhett’s gym, rich purple and bright-green walls—relieved by huge panels of mirrors—surround sand-colored hardwood floors. Soothing blue carpets grip the bottoms of the weightiest weightlifting machines to prevent them from sliding around. Flat-screen TVs hang above rows of treadmills and cycles to entertain and encourage guests while their legs busy themselves burning calories and wishing that kneecaps had eyes.

Opening doors for 24 hours a day, seven days a week is an exhausting proposition for any doorman, unless he's a robot. That's why Anytime Fitness—having redirected its robot budget into tanning beds, cardio equipment with built-in TVs, and Star Trac weight machines—installed a keycard-activated security system instead. The electronic guardian keeps gym members secure while admitting them at any time of day or night for their workouts.

During daylight hours, certified instructors incinerate calories with group fitness classes. Personal trainer Chris coaches clients in one-on-one sessions, tailoring regimens to each individual's level of fitness, past injuries, or number of tentacles. To relax after workouts, staffed tanning beds stand by to bronze bodies.
