Militia Fitness Det. Santos, Destin FL

Militia fitness is a fantastic gym! I never bought into functional fitness until MF. Alex and his team made it accessible and fun. They preach the importance of fitness while recognizing it as just a piece of the wellness puzzle. Thanks to MF I saw and felt my fitness increase drastically. Gone are the days of just running and lifting.

5 stars is not enough. Not only is militia a great workout everytime. The community it has provided for me is unmatched. Between the other gym goers, Alex, Kristen, and Kimmy Militia has become my second home! Always a personalized experience no matter the class size! Grateful for my
Time here!

What more can you say? ! Alex & Kristen care about their members along with their development & overall well being. You get the same energy each day, no matter what. Alex & the team have made me fall in love lifting weights again. You would find it very difficult to find a more dedicated team to serve their community & their health goals. Militia is for everyone, no matter what your level is.

I've been going here for 6 days a week for 5.5 years. It's helped me lose 35lbs while also at least doubling my maxes on compound lifts since I started because of the hybrid training style. More importantly, what makes this specific gym special, is the environment that the owners Alex and Kristen create. It truly is a community/family gym where everyone talks to everyone and there isn't a hint of the weird awkward gym vibe you get in 24/7 gyms. This is what gives you the consistency because it makes it fun to come back everyday and almost becomes a social outing too. If you are on the fence at least come in and do a trial because you might just get hooked on 6 days a week for 5+ years

Excellent fitness instruction with positive, energetic coaches. Will tailor workouts to your needs.

Five stars is not enough praise for Det. Santos. Be ready to be pushed, motivated, encouraged but treated as part of the Militia (family). Such a great environment, so many great different training programs, in a community that is beyond words.but if I have to choose one word to describe Det Santos then it is AWESOME! Alex and Kristen are incredible and if you do not dig into the community then at the very least you will get in whatever shape you decide to be as much as you put into it. Cannot rave more about this place. Check it out today! There is no tomorrow. HOO-YA, NEVER QUIT! Love these people.

I’m not a person that ever liked gyms or group programs but this place is different and I’ve stayed for several years now! The programs are varied, intelligently built and the owners and trainers are incredible!

I started working out here at 41 years old with no experience using barbells. I was super intimidated, but Alex & Kristen made me so comfortable. I’ve been at Militia Det Santos for a year and it’s the highlight of my day. The workouts are fun & functional. I credit a speedy recovery after surgery to my training with the militia family. 1% better every day!

This gym is life changing. The coaches and community are top of the line. Check out a class- you will not be disappointed.

My family and I were a part of the militia family for many years, we gained a lot of strength, made a lot of friends, and brought a lot of great memories with us along the way.

Militia Fitness is an excellent place to get in shape and join a community! Everyone is so welcoming and helpful! I’m a beginner and was very nervous about starting a work-out routine with other people, but wow! They ALL welcomed me right in, and are very helpful in teaching me and giving me tips! Alex, Kristen, and Kimmy are the best coaches! I am so glad my husband encouraged me to join with him!

I started going to this gym about 2 months ago looking to get in better shape. I can already see results with strength and mobility! I’m very encouraged with my progress.

Alex is upbeat and motivational and helps set an atmosphere that makes you want to push yourself. He also takes time to try to help people individually as questions or needs arise.

There’s definitely value in what Militia Fitness has to offer. You can find your place in this gym no matter what your fitness level is.

I highly recommend Militia Fitness Destin for anyone looking for a place to get in shape! So glad I found this gym! Thank you, Alex!

When I came to Militia, I was terrified to use any weights, I only ran every day, but Kristin and Alex showed me how to use them correctly and guided me (very patiently), now I love it.

The positive, kindness, and genuine community they have built there makes it feel like you’re working out with family. I look forward to it every morning.

I highly recommend this program! I have seen fantastic results and it has improved
My running pace. Super thankful for this community!

I was on a morning run and ran by the gym I heard some motivation coming out the door. Jumped in the 5: 30 am class with my 2 son in laws. Brought my 3 daughters, son and wive back for a private class with Alex. We all had a great workout. We are here on vacation from Kc he treated us like a local.

The growth I have experienced since joining the M is so much deeper than any photo can capture.
Prior to this, I had bounced between fitness classes and gyms all across Destin. I never expected a gym to offer much more than a place to work out.
From my first one on one with Kristen, I knew I had found my fitness home. The community of coaches and members here is like no other. We share a common goal, to be 1% better than we were yesterday. While goals can be achieved independently, it sure is easier with the support of others.
I have witnessed Alex and the team at Militia embrace, encourage, and challenge folks from any fitness level, health status, or background to bring out their best.
I tell anyone that will listen, if you're looking for a gym with a culture of positivity and self improvement-look no further!

This gym is definitely worth checking out for a great workout. The coaches are knowledgeable, daily workouts hit a good range of muscle groups, and members are very welcoming. With such a great supportive community for all levels of fitness, you can get an awesome sweat in and have a ton of fun. Give Alex or Kristen a call for your first workout! First one is free for locals, cant beat that.

If you’re looking for a new gym in the Destin area, I 15/10 recommend Militia! From the trainers, to the workouts and the people you meet along the way - it’s easy to feel motivated and energized in this atmosphere. Swolga on Saturdays is a must. The everyday hype music and impromptu dance sessions are a bonus!
