If I could give this establishment 0 stars I would. Let's start with the gym itself. The gym is…read moreentirely too small. The equipment is as elderly as the silver sneakers program they cater to. Cables on the cable machines are so worn you can see the wire under the rubber coating. The membership fee; I pay less for a new gym with new equipment and amenities that this gym does not have the room to provide as an option. Now, the staff...unless you are throwing dollars or have made another kind of "payment arrangement " with one of the trainers you will go entirely unnoticed. Not one friendly conversation will be had. Almost every staff member is having an affair with a coworker. One has engaged with two coworkers. There are never any clean towels because said employees are doing their personal laundry in the locker room. If you intend on having a healthy monogamous relationship avoid this gym. It is a melting pot of skanks. DM me for their private pics . Please be aware the self proclaimed playboys and babes of this gym do have incurable STDs. If you are in an open relationship proceed with caution and wear a raincoat

After months of lazying around, and discovering that there is such a thing as "way too freakin' hot…read moreto workout outside", the checkbook and I finally bit the bullet and found a new gym home. And the winner of my questionably hard-earned dollar bills? - Helena Fitness. Taking a look around the place, I was attracted to the incredibly clean environment, well-kept equipment/area, convenient proximity to my living space, and open potential to step up my game in the form of classes offered throughout the week. I've been a member for about a week now and, aside from having limited mobility due to pushing it a little too much (I'm overzealous at times), I couldn't be happier with my choice. I won't go into any unnecessarily-lengthy descriptions in this review - it's a gym, it has equipment, it has personal trainers, it has locker rooms for both men and women - no surprises and everything you'd hope a gym would have to offer its members. I'll simply say that it's a great choice for anyone looking for a good gym in the area, and not trying to break the bank for the sake of physical fitness and better health. Excellent.

They have childcare and even a cafe with healthy offerings (one inside and one by the outdoor pool for summer days). They also offer towels, lockers, shampoo, razors, etc, , personal training, small group training and educational programs. I have participated and taken advantage of all of these services and amenities, at some point. It's the nicest health and wellness facility in Business, and prices are reflective of this fact. It's worth every penny if you are able to take advantage of offerings. Unfortunately, the sauna and steam room are often closed, in need of repair and classes require advanced reservations and fill up quickly.

They want to keep this a semi-private gym and that makes me feel way more comfortable with going to the gym. I know that people probably don't care about me and what I am doing, but I still feel self conscious when it comes to working out. Alex is my trainer and she's the sweetest! Her and her husband (Chuck) started up at the beginning of Covid (in their garage) and is now running a huge space. I was fortunate enough to hear about them because we live in the same neighborhood. I've purchased memberships at big name gyms and it was all wasted money. I actually love going to Ellison Fitness and I am totally getting my money's worth. I highly suggest giving them a try.

Front deck help is fine. The machines sometimes make weird noises but whatever, I still run, walk, elliptical and all the things. My issue is the nastiness of the place, particularly the tanning booths. For the past two months bulbs (eight in #3 and four in #4) have been out for several weeks now. The floors are filthy, and some of the walls have tanning lotions all over them. 8 mean DRIED, not fresh. The floors of the booths are awful! I'm not exactly sure why the health department hasn't shut them down. I asked if they had any intentions of replacing the bulbs and such. I was told that they had been ordered but it would be probably the end of the month or April before they were replaced. What!? I'll be honest, this Bessemer location hasn't been the same (AT ALL) since Adrian left. He always cleaned the booth before I ever even went in it. He was golden! The place stayed clean! I'm a Black Card member so I pay more than $10 to use all the things. I also drive father to go to PF than I do my local Fitness1440. I'm currently looking into changing. Yes, it would be more money with maybe a benefit or two less BUT it's clean! Do better PF! Peace out!
