CrossFit Auburndale

CrossFit Auburndale operates out of a training facility at 5925 East County Rd 542 in Auburndale, Florida, an address that places the gym along the county road corridor northeast of the city’s historic downtown core. The gym is open seven days a week, with hours posted from 5:00 AM to 8:00 PM daily, giving members a wide window to fit workouts around work and family schedules, whether that means an early class before sunrise or an evening session after dinner.

As a CrossFit-affiliated gym, the facility runs on the CrossFit model of varied, functional movements performed at high intensity, programmed in coached group classes rather than open gym time on machines. Membership pricing listed on the gym’s website starts at $175 per month, and the gym offers a free introductory session for anyone who wants to try a class before committing to a membership.

Beyond the standard group class format, CrossFit Auburndale runs a 6-Week Kickstart program aimed at people who are new to CrossFit or returning to exercise after time away, easing newcomers into the movements and pacing before they join the regular class schedule. The gym also operates a Barbell Club focused specifically on Olympic weightlifting, the snatch and the clean and jerk, for members who want to build strength and technique in those two lifts beyond what a standard CrossFit class covers. Personal training is available as well for members who want one-on-one coaching rather than, or in addition to, group classes.

On its own website, the gym describes itself as Polk County’s most beginner friendly gym, a claim tied to its emphasis on scaling workouts to individual ability and its structured on-ramp program for new members. For a small city the size of Auburndale, having a dedicated strength and conditioning gym gives residents a local alternative to driving into Lakeland or Winter Haven for a coached fitness program.

Prospective members can find the current class schedule on the gym’s website and can reach the gym by phone at 863-662-9283. The gym also maintains a Facebook page where it posts updates on class times, community workouts, and gym announcements. Because CrossFit gyms are typically owned and run by local coaches rather than operated as part of a national chain, CrossFit Auburndale functions as an independently run fitness business serving the Auburndale area, distinct from the corporate gym chains also present in the city such as Anytime Fitness and Planet Fitness.

Anyone considering a membership should note that the mailing address for the gym, while listed as Auburndale, Florida, falls outside the city’s official incorporated limits according to Census Bureau address data, placing it in the surrounding unincorporated part of Polk County that carries an Auburndale postal designation. The gym’s day-to-day operations, contact information, and class offerings described here come directly from the business’s own website.
