FITNESS CLASSES
Of course, we have to talk about the fitness classes, because it is very hard to walk down the street and not tap your toe to one of the tunes playing from inside one of their studios. Whether you are a class type of person or a quick, 30-minute HIIT workout person, there is something for everyone. Gyms such as F-45, 9 Rounds and Rock Hard Fitness offer quick, fun classes that are easy to fit into even the busiest schedule. If you are looking for something for the little ones, check out Orlando Metro Gymnastics and Championship Martial Arts. They offer fantastic deals all year, as well as specials around the holidays to give you some much needed alone time.
