Strength training near Alafaya, Florida

If you live along the Alafaya corridor, you already drive the road that leads here: Alafaya Trail is FL-434, and it runs north through Oviedo straight into Winter Springs, where Valdes Performance sits just off the 434 and Tuskawilla Road area. It is a real drive, and for the families and lifters who make it, a deliberate one.

Getting here

One road: the 434 corridor

Point the car north on Alafaya Trail and stay with FL-434 as it bends through Oviedo and into Winter Springs; Winter Springs Blvd and the studio are just off the 434 and Tuskawilla Road area, with parking at the door. Alafaya is the far south end of our service area, so be realistic: roughly 25 to 40 minutes depending on where along the corridor you start and how the school-year traffic is behaving.

Is there a strength training studio near Alafaya?

Yes. Valdes Performance is a boutique strength and wellness studio in Winter Springs, up the FL-434 corridor from Alafaya through Oviedo, offering coached personal training, small group strength, recovery, and youth athletic development.

For Alafaya families and young athletes

A lot of the corridor's training energy is family energy, and the schedule can work as one trip: Youth Athletic Development for the athlete in the house, and Small Group Strength Training or Personal Training for the adult who drove. For the weeks the drive loses, Online Coaching keeps the programming moving without the miles.
