More than a gym. A third place.
We're not just a fitness program. South Orlando CrossFit is a vehicle for life change. Anyone who has been a member for more than a few months can testify to the unique environment we've built — both by our coaches and our members.
For a lot of our members, this place has become a "third place" outside of work and home. Somewhere to unwind, work off stress, and be their authentic self. No matter your background, age, race, religion, or beliefs — in this gym, we're all athletes on the same journey. We push each other through hard sessions. We celebrate breakthroughs, both physical and mental.
Happier, healthier humans ripple out. From the gym, to the family, to the neighborhood, to Orlando.
Coached by owners who train next to you.
Trevor and Angela built SOCF the way they wanted to be coached — present, hands-on, and competing in the same workouts you are.
Trevor Palmer
Firefighter-veteran turned full-time coach. Trevor leads programming and coaches members alongside Angela every day.
Angela Chuk
Co-owner, lead coach, and the welcoming face you'll meet on your first visit. Believes the gym should feel like family.
The reason
people stay.
From Memorial Day Murph to 10-year member shoutouts, beach WODs to adaptive-athlete classes — this is who we train with. Real people celebrating real wins, every day.
A third place
outside work and home.
The gym should feel like family. That's not a marketing line for us — it's the comment we read in review after review.
"From the first day I walked through their doors, I knew this was the place for me. The co-owners are firefighter veterans which pretty much sold me right away — but what kept me coming back was how amazing the coaching staff is and how quickly I felt at home."
"This place is truly special: family-owned, kid- and pet-friendly, and such a welcoming vibe. The owners coach too. They really care about every member and make you feel like part of the family from day one."
"I dropped in for a few workouts while in Orlando from out of town. Coach Angela was fantastic! The gym was extremely clean and the recovery room made the difference — I got in multiple workouts and let my body heal before my flight home."
"This place is outstanding. I'm getting in great shape, making new connections, and feeling great about health and fitness. All the coaches are great — encouraging, push you, know you by name — and the owners workout right next to you."
"It was intimidating walking in the doors for the first time, but I quickly found out SOCF is a gym for everyone at every level of fitness. I've never thought about looking for another gym since I joined."
"CrossFit is all about the community. That community will always be a reflection of the gym ownership. You will find no better community and no better owners than Trevor and Angela at South Orlando CrossFit."
No time
like the present.
30 minutes. No workout, no pressure. We listen, you talk, we map a plan that actually fits. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you.
