2. What makes Darwin Fitness different from a regular gym in Winter Park?


100% private — no crowds, no waiting for machines
You train with a certified personal trainer every session
Clean, quiet, focused environment — not a loud commercial gym

3. Do you offer personal training for weight loss or fat loss?


Yes — weight loss is one of our most in-demand services.
We combine strength training + cardio + nutrition coaching to help you lose body fat safely and sustainably.
Programs are customized, whether your goal is 10 lbs or 100+ lbs. We coach many GLP-1 patients with a tailored approach. 


 




 


4. Do you work with seniors, the elderly, or geriatric clients?


Absolutely. We specialize in senior and geriatric strength, balance, mobility, and fall-prevention training.


 We help older adults:




  • Maintain independence and confidence

  • Reduce risk of falls or injuries




  • Stay active and pain-free longer




  • Stimulate brain function, memory, and reaction time to help slow cognitive decline




  • Support those living with or at risk of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, or other neurodegenerative conditions
    Manage chronic conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension, arthritis, and more through safe, adapted exercise




We work with adults in their 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond — no experience required. Every program is personalized and can be coordinated with doctors, physiotherapists, or caregivers when needed.


 




 


5. Do you train kids, youth and teens?


Yes — we offer personalized youth and teen fitness programs for ages 7+.

  • Lower back pain




  • Post-surgery recovery




  • Muscle imbalance & mobility issues




We bridge the gap between physical therapy and full strength training.


 




 


8. Do you offer nutrition coaching?


Yes — nutrition coaching is included in most training programs.
We help you build realistic, sustainable eating habits — no starvation diets, no “quick detox cleanses,” no gimmicks.
We focus on daily habits, balanced nutrition, and long-term fat loss success.
