I’ve been working with Megan at Darwin Fitness and I can honestly say she’s been a game-changer in my fitness journey. Her passion for what she does is truly contagious, and it’s clear that she genuinely cares about my progress.

What I appreciate most about her is her deep knowledge of fitness and her ability to tailor each session to my individual needs. She always has a clear plan to help me reach my goals, and she constantly tracks my progress to ensure I’m improving. No session feels repetitive or boring – she pushes me to be better every time, and I can feel myself getting stronger and more confident.

She is incredibly encouraging and always believes in me, even when I doubt myself. That support has been invaluable, and it motivates me to push through challenges and stay committed. I look forward to every session because I know that with her guidance, I’m always moving closer to my fitness goals.
If you're looking for a trainer who is not only knowledgeable but also passionate, encouraging, and committed to your success, I highly recommend Megan!

I've been working with Weston for the past few months. It's been a great experience. With his help, I've made solid progress towards my fitness goals and feel more motivated than ever to keep pushing forward. I really appreciate his positive attitude and the way he has been able to improve the strength of my injured shoulder.

The gym is a friendly open place where everyone is welcome and treated with respect. Trainer Dan Harding has extensive experience working all sorts of clients. His work with elder people like myself is stellar. My balance and strength have increased to a much higher level since I started working with him. I highly recommend him.

Great gym! My trainer Megan is the best! She has been very helpful and encouraging through my time at Darwin Fitness. She has helped me set goals and pushed me to progress in my strength training and weight loss journey.

Iv’e been working with Dan at Darwin Fitness since mid September 2023, and it’s been 6 months. I’m an 67 female very over weight. I started Darwin fitness to help improve by balance, increase my overall strength and hopefully reverse osteoporosis and other medical issues that comes with aging. Dan doesn’t let me slack off - he very dedicated to making the most of my work out and that I am getting the greatest benefit - while still working within my limitations - now that it has been 6 months i can tell that I am stronger - I am more confident walking up and down stairs- my fatigue on the golf course while walking has greatly improved and I love my golf - Dan works to make sure that I work on making my movements stronger. If you live in the Maitland area and go to the Publix in Maitland the Fitness center is so close - you should consider a personal trainer - I’ve never had a trainer before - but this I can tell you - given to my own device I don’t have the fortitude to be this dedicated - I attribute this to Dan and Darwin fitness

Coach Bon has been training my daughter and I for a couple months now. Couldn’t ask for a better trainer that keeps us motivated and really focused on our personal goals and correct technique. My 12 year old loves her and coach Bon is focused on safety which allows me to really focus on myself during workouts. She adopts our workouts on the spot if we want to hit different areas. Highly recommend her for a motivated coach that will push you and make your goals come true.

Had to edit and add a photo. This is what choosing the right gym looks like. Trainers that are focused on safety. My daughter has gained so much muscle in just one month then I thought was possible.

Dan Harding is a darn hard and excellent trainer. British as the Big Ben, fun as a full Wembley stadium, and he'll have you feeling like you just scored the winning goal! High energy, personalized workouts, and a great sense of humor. Highly recommend!

What's my "why" for training with Pamela at Darwin Fitness?

A personal trainer is only as good as how well they do their homework (your history, joints, hormones, what motivates you, when to push you, and days you may need to dial it back etc . . .).  Pamela is not a one size fits all trainer and I appreciate that because my reason for seeking out a personal trainer in midlife is very different than when I was in my late 20s and early 30s. Back then I did not have some of the injuries that I have accumulated over the years. Today as a working mom, I require workouts that are efficient and effective. Pamela thoughtfully designs my workouts "for me." I recall a particularly tough week at work how cathartic it was that she included boxing in our session.  Pamela mentioned that she created my workout on Sunday and there was no way for her to know that it was just what I needed that week but I think there is a certain intuitiveness and synchronicity that comes with taking the time to truly get to know your clients where you can anticipate their needs.  I am never fearful that I will injure/reinjure myself. I have seen tremendous gains in my energy level, conditioning and muscle tone.  I am able to enjoy activities that I once loved stronger than ever before such as rollerblading, hiking/walking, headstands in yoga etc . . . In addition, the nutrition support provided at Darwin Fitness and sense of community will keep you encouraged and coming back for more.
