I dropped in for two weeks while I was in Jacksonville for training. They were very generous in working out the best deal for me for the time frame. The facilities are very clean and the equipment is all in great condition. Coach Daniel Holmes was incredibly professional and thorough in demonstrating all the movements every day. The rest of the members were all very welcoming as well. If I find myself back in JAX I will definitely be stopping by again.

I joined Steel Mill seven weeks ago as part of the 6 week challenge. I was overweight, had suffered from back and joint pain to the point of needing multi-level back surgery.Carla, Jason and all the coaches are wonderful. Carla met with me individually and tailored a nutritional plan specifically for my needs. The coaches take the time to teach you the correct way to perform each exercise and are fully supportive as long as you are giving it your all.Fast forward to today. I have lost 36 lbs. Reduced my body fat percentage and feel great. Getting older is no fun but I feel better than I have in years. I strongly recommend checking them out. It can be life changing if you commit.

Went today with a friend to try out a group training class and had an awesome experience. Although there were a few people in the class, the trainer really took notice of you and offered support and assistance. The workout was very dynamic and involved core, strength, power, circuit training. The staff made me feel incredibly welcome and I definitely worked up a nice sweat in there. Definitely recommend anyone to give this a try.

I dropped in today from out of town and such had a great experience! Jason was very welcoming, he made sure I was comfortable with all the movements and weights before we started, and then encouraged me throughout the class. Great facility, great location and awesome people! I will definitely be coming back to Steel Mill next time I’m in Jacksonville.

I participated in a six week challenge at the gym, and had a great experience! The nutrition guidance was great and the workouts very motivating. One very nice facet to the gym is the combination of the Crossfit portion as well as standard gym equipment separate. With 24 hour access, there is no reason not to get in a good workout. Most of all, the people an camaraderie were fantastic. Everyone is very supportive, and it breeds a culture of support in the gym.

I havent sweat so much in a gym in quite some time and I appreciate the vibe of the facility. I felt welcomed as soon as I walked in and everyone inside is here for a purpose. With that said, I could tell that the camaraderie of the members is a big of part of what keeps people coming back. Im only in town for a short while but Id recommend this gym to anyone in the area...

Steel Mill Fitness and CrossFit is an awesome place to drop-in if you’re in Jacksonville!! I travel for work and this is one of my favorite gyms. You can jump in with the class or do your own thing in the open gym area. Plenty of space to do whatever you want. The super nice people always make me feel at home! Love it here!!

Steel Mill Edgewood has a friendly and knowledgable staff. When I dropped into the class, the coach was energetic and helpful. Their open gym is great and they’re always getting new equipment. They recently got new Echo bikes and an air runner. Everything is clean and there’s a ton of space for both open gym and classes. One of the best boxes in the area!

Review №14

This is an amazing gym. The layout is very open and there is space for everyone and every routine you can think of. I highly recommend the Crossfit classes and the other group training they offer. Coach Bruno breaks the skills he is teaching down so everyone can understand them. All of the coaches and members are very helpful and supportive. I would recommend this gym to anyone and Im sure you wont be disappointed.

This gym is great! It’s a very inviting and welcoming community, and they helped me hit ALL of my fitness goals. Your classmates will encourage you through the workouts when you feel like giving up, and this gym is the ONLY 24/7 CrossFit gym in the area. I highly recommend!

Review №16

I love this place! I come for a drop-in whenever Im in town, which often ends up being the Saturday morning 9 a.m. class. The regular members and staff are friendly. And the owner is a really cool guy! The 24-hr concept is a really great idea!

I was looking for a gym to drop in at and I can across Steel Mill Crossfit. I have to say the gym is awesome and staff are super helpful.If you like Crossfit or lifting weights they have both, great experience. I would definitely recommend this gym if you live in the area or just visiting. Most gyms say you have to know someone whos a member, Steel Mill allowed me to come in and workout at a much lower price than other gyms.They care about their clients and give 100% to make sure you have a great experience, which is exactly what I had at their gym. Thank you for a great experience. 5 stars without a doubt!!

Great gym! Best that I’ve been to in Florida. Has the equipment to support any style of training. My cookies not negative I could say is that it doesn’t have the amount of weights to support a big crowd.

I dropped into this gym while I was in town for work and absolutely loved it. Everyone is incredibly friendly especially the coaches. The best part is there is open gym all day so I was able to do the WOD plus spend some extra time working other skills. Great atmosphere- will definitely stop by next time Im in town!

I did the 6 week challenge and it was worth it. They were very organized, set a personal plan specific to me, and constantly gave encouragement. They are not out looking for your money, but to better you and provide the tools for you to live a happy and healthy life. I personally lost 25lbs. And 7.5% bf. I am very grateful for there time and effort into helping me succeed. I would recommend them to everyone. Thank you Steel MillLarry

This gym is very convenient. Staff and Manger very hospitable and warm. Great classes and equipment. I highly recommend this facility to any one from those looking to be instructed to those that do their own thing.

Review №22

This gym is definitely the spot for real strength training. I pass by numerous other gyms just to come to this one. As a professional strongman I need good equipment, good times (like 24/7) and positive people and environment around me to make it all happen. Steelmill provides that. Worth looking in to!

While in Jacksonville on business, I dropped into a few boxes. This was, by far, the friendliest! Everyone was so nice and welcoming. The coaches were knowledgeable and helpful. Great gym. Highly recommend.

Review №24

My boyfriend and I dropped in here for a class since we were looking for a box to join. The facility is huge with a ton of equipment. And it sounds like they have a variety classes available. They are open 24/7 so you have access to the gym at literally any time, which was cool. It was a little hectic though with a lot of people showing up at once. Id be curious to see how the coaching works with the larger class size. Id have to try it again to get a better impression.

Review №26

Such a great gym! I dropped in here while attending a conference in town and was VERY impressed with the facility. I attended the regular CrossFit class, but there was plenty of space for others to workout on their own. The owner was very kind, considerate, and encouraging during the WOD - as were the members.Great programming. Great people. Great facility.

Review №27

I got a chance to drop into the Steel Mill on my out of town for the Holidays. The first thing that struck me was how large & clean the facility was. Then, I find that they had a great locker room too with everything you could want, showers & such. I had put together my own W.O.D. since I had come between classes, but I had access to any and all equipment I needed. I cant say enough about the facility. It was big & accommodating and it was not packed full of people or equipment, plenty of work space. I highly recommend that you check this place out if youre in the area or passing through!

I stopped in to use the gym. Karla was very helpful, friendly, and welcoming and showed me around. Its a steal for a $10 drop in because where Im from, it would have been over double that. Will always stop here when Im in town.

I was looking for a gym to workout at with my boyfriend coming from baileys powerhouse gym. I wanted to try to find a gym that we were able to practice Olympic weightlifting at and we found this one and it was perfect. The staff is so incredibly friendly as well and I highly recommend this gym to anyone trying to find a gym with platforms, chalk, bumper plates, etc. Great environment all around... has open garages and more work out equipment outside including an outdoor squat rack!

The first time I walked into this gym, I felt immediately at home. Jason, the owner took the time with my family to find out our needs and our goals, and right away put a plan into action. He provides resources to be successful at any level. Whether youre just starting out, a seasoned Crossfitter, or just like to be at a conventional gym, Steel Mill is the place to be!

This is my home box, I love this gym! I started here a few months back on the team training side. A couple of months ago I swapped over to the Crossfit side and love it. I spend five days a week in the gym, the weight and inches I have lost is only because of my workout home.

Review №34

I gotta say the new Edgewood location could not be better in terms of a real gym. For starters the size is massive which makes for a safe and easy to roam environment. Secondly, the industrial block style building has the feeling of hey its time to get work done. Lastly, the 24/7 access will really sets this place apart. Congratulations Jason.

The 24 hour member access totally rocks. Being able to come in early, and stay as late as I want, has made a huge difference in my training. Ive been able to put in some extra work on my weaknesses and love it that I continue to see improvements every week. 10,000 square feet of amazing.

This place is awesome! I saw an add on Facebook for a 6 week challenge and I thought, what the hell, its time for me to lose some weight. That was the best decision that I have ever made. I am done with the challenge now but after only 4 weeks of entering the program I am no longer pre-diabetic, my cholesterol and blood pressure are down, and Im off of the medications that were prescribed for me. The program has changed me so much that I have decided to stay on to continue progressing. Thank you Jason and Carla. If you are thinking about joining a gym or entering a program, I highly recommend Steel Mill. No judgment, awesome people, great trainers, and a wonderful facility.

I did a drop-in back in March while I was here for work. Everyone was so welcoming, unlike my box at home. The owners made sure to introduce themselves which was impressed me the most. I am in town again for work and did another drop-in. I was so surprised that Coach Mike and Jason and Leebeth remembered me. SCORE, you have a CrossFit fan for life! I would move here if I could just to be a member at Steel Mill Fitness. Thanks for making me feel like a part of the family! 😎

I can only comment on this as a person who trains alone. I couldnt afford to join a crossfit gym and this was the only place I could find that will let you use the space and equipment for a cheaper price than paying for classes and coaching. It was exactly what I was looking for and they have all the equipment you need to train plus the commercial style gym in the other room for some bro sessions. I witnessed some classes while training and the coaches seemed knowledgeable and eager to help all types of athletes succeed. The only knock I have, and its still 5 stars, was trying to go when classes werent going on. I was constantly checking the website to see when I could train and sometimes there was a class anyway. And it wasnt a close drive from my home. But if the class was small, the coaches had no problem with me training I just tried to stay out of the way but it wasnt very big and only 4 squat racks. But for someone who wants to train and not pay for the classes, Steel Mill has it all and for a good price, and 24 hr access. I highly recommend checking them out. Wish I lived closer. I hate commercial gyms and cant wait to leave mine when I can afford crossfit again. Oh, and if you need to use the sled, or anything that requires taking equipment outside you have to go when an employee is there. I wouldnt really be wanting to run around outside on Cassatt at night by myself though anyway.

It an amazing facility that offers a variety of workout and cardio equipment. The best is that it is opened 24h /7 days, you can workout by yourself or if you are not in the mood of working out alone you can always join the crossfit classes.Ive worked with coach Alicia and she is awesome and the team there, they all were great, making me feel like home in minutes! Highly recommended! If you just pass by the area, on holidays etc and if you want a good sweat this the place to be! I will definetly go back!

I was visiting a friend in Jacksonville recently, and she took me to Steel Mill to go lift. I do regular Crossfit-style group classes at my home gym (Invictus in San Diego), but I also enjoy powerlifting-oriented training to work towards specific strength goals. It was nice to find a gym that offers both- group classes with great coaching and open gym (24 hour access!!!) for one to pursue their own programming. Plus great equipment, nice facility and very friendly people! I look forward to returning next time Im in Jacksonville.

They have everything you could ever need as an athlete. I train Olympic weightlifting, they have two platforms, and perfect condition Rogue weightlifting plates messured in Kilos not pounds. They have a big size crossfit section, strongman, and powerlifting equipment including sleds, kegs, atlas stones and jerk blocks. Their is also a basic gym side, which has various pin seected machines, cardio equipment like stair stepper and tredmils, dumbells, iron grip plates and bars, curl bars, and dip bars. Overall a great gym. They have an open gym membership and a crossfit class member ship, both very reasonably priced.
