Amazing people 😎Great coaches - super knowledgeable. You learn so much about how to move in these classes, both in terms of weight lifting but also in terms of gymnastics. It's definitely a great place to reach anyone's fitness goals. …

NWDF is an awesome gym! I went for around 6 months and only left because I moved. I learned so much while I was there. Everyone was so nice and patient with me while I learned CrossFit. Juan is an excellent trainer. On the other side I had the best time boxing. Will is one of kind! So easy to talk to and learn from. I would recommend this gym to anyone and at any skill level!

Love this gym so much. The quality of instruction is superior, the community is warm and close and the quantity/variety of classes is unsurpassed, all at a great price. This is the gym where I learned to do CrossFit and start many styles of combat fitness - skills that I’ve taken with me and developed for 5 years since I moved away from the gym. I always visit when I come back and have a lot of love for these people. Couldn’t recommend more

I love working out at New World. I have never felt comfortable going to a gym. I joined NWDF and immediately they became a family. I love the coaches, members, workouts and my overall fitness journey! If you need a new gym - you found your place!

Love this gym. I was intimidated at first but everyone is so friendly and cares more about your safety (form) etc than anyplace I’ve been. Coach Jaun is great, as are Will and Alexis.Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed!

Absolute best gym in SWFL. I went from not being able to do even three push ups to being a daily participant n cross fit. The coaches are just some of the genuine, best people in the world. They will save your life. They did mine.

My family and I joined last year. We have all truly enjoyed our membership. The location is convenient and they provide a wide variety of classes. The scheduled times are good. Boxing and kickboxing taught by Will is fun. The CrossFit classes taught by Jennifer, Alexis, and Juan are excellent too.

I have been a member of NWDF for years. I love going to this gym for several reasons, but the top is they have the best coaches. They offer fantastic training with a variety of classes, give great instruction, encouragement as well as accountability. The coaches check in with you if you are slacking and motivate you to become the best version of you. Additionally, the members of this gym are always friendly and welcoming and become an extended family.

Joining this gym was one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself! Boxing has become a new obsession (shout out to Will for doing that great class) & I can’t wait to try ALL of the classes! The trainers are all super nice and knowledgeable about what they’re teaching, the owners Juan and Alexis are also awesome! They have lots to offer, super clean, great & fair pricing. Doesn’t get much better than this 😊
