Short answer: Seaside itself doesn’t have a public gym. The closest full-service gym to Seaside and WaterColor is Grayton Beach Fitness — a family-owned, 24/7 gym a few miles west on 30A in Grayton Beach, one block north of the highway at 55 Logan Lane. Visitors are welcome on day, 3-day, and week passes, and classes are open to guests too. Here’s what’s actually available in Seaside, how to get to us, what it costs, and how to fit a real workout into a beach week.
Is there a gym in Seaside, FL?
Not a public one. Some rentals in Seaside and WaterColor include access to a small private fitness room, and there are studio options nearby for paddle, run, and yoga-style sessions. But if you want a full gym floor — racks, free weights, a proper cardio line, strength machines, showers — you’ll be driving or biking a few minutes west to Grayton Beach. That’s us.
Getting to Grayton Beach Fitness from Seaside or WaterColor
It’s easy, and it’s the same turn whether you’re coming from Seaside, WaterColor, or Seagrove:
- Head west on Highway 30A past WaterColor toward Grayton Beach.
- At the Grayton Beach traffic light, turn right (north) onto Highway 283.
- We’re in the first shopping center on the left — the stand-alone building behind Hurricane Oyster Bar. 55 Logan Lane, Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32459.
By car it’s about 10 minutes from Seaside. It’s also bikeable and golf-cart-able — the Timpoochee Trail runs alongside 30A most of the way, so plenty of guests ride over, work out, and ride back before the beach fills up. Free parking out front if you drive.

Free beach bootcamp — Labor Day, September 7
If you’re in Seaside over Labor Day weekend: on Monday, September 7 at 8am we’re running a free beach bootcamp, open to members and guests. Meet at the gym, jog to the beach, and get after it — beach-oriented exercises in the sand and surf. Wear clothes you don’t mind getting wet. No cost, just show up.
What kind of gym is it?
A training gym, not a hotel fitness room. The cardio line is led by Technogym alongside Cybex, Precor, Matrix, and an Assault runner. Strength is Cybex machines plus free weights up to 120 lbs, TRX rigs, a dedicated class studio, and a Rogue outdoor rig — with clean showers, locker rooms, and towels for when you’re done. Paul and Debbie Hunter have owned and run it since 2004.
Traveling with a group? Book a private class
Bachelorette weekend, family reunion, a house full of college friends — we’ll run a private fitness hour for your crew on the beach, at your rental, or in the gym. Ask at the front desk or contact us for details.
