To start out this business has been around for a while! If I recall correctly they took over what…read moreused to br a Gold's gym in Pelham after it shut down during covid. Since then they have added and improved a great deal of things to this place! I have been going to this gym for over 5 years now and have absolutely loved it. The staff are all super kind and willing to answer questions and the head manager is always ready to answer anything too. When you first walk in you have the open area along with the day care room on your right and then you have the front desk and next to that is the smoothie bar! I have come to it to get plenty of Protein packed drinks to help refuel myself after a workout. They have a large variety of machines and freeweights on the ground floor on top of many other amazing options too. Upstairs you will have a more private workout area that is smaller and a vast majority of the cardio machines. Downstairs in the main area you will have the racket ball room, the workout/class room, the cycling room, the media room with a giant cinema screen to watch while working out, the pool area along with 24e's own version of crossfit in the room behind it. What is also awesome about the place is that they both come with spacious restroom and locker rooms. Fully equipped with showers and plenty of body wash or shampoo if needed. The guy's area comes with a sauna and a steamer room and I believe the women's rest room/locker room comes with a sauna as well. On top of this gym being a 24 hour access gym with scanning pass key access the community has really shown up and continued to grow and come to this gym over the years. And I am sure it will only continue to grow!

This is not a fabulous YMCA. Having a membership, I am able to use all of theYMCA's in Alabama and…read moretake advantage of the privilege. The gripe on this one is the smell of the locker room. There is a pool and showers and there is carpet in the locker room? Makes no sense! Besides that, the facility is fine. Because of my schedule I am there later in the evening and the place is typically packed with kids playing in various sports programs. The weight room equipment is dated, but you can get a good workout in. The indoor cycling room is crammed and not a great environment. One neat thing is the separate cardio room. The room is kept cool with fans running and has 4 televisions to keep people entertained. Great place for families, which is what the YMCA is there for, but not a great place for me.

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.

It's an okay gym, but there's nothing even close to "luxury" about it. You'd genuinely get better…read moreservice at the YMCA. The women's sauna is constantly broken or smells like sewage, and it's been that way long enough that it's clearly not a priority to fix. They also completely erased a huge part of the club's community when they removed the basketball courts. That space brought people together, and replacing it with indoor pickleball--without asking members--says everything about how decisions are made here. Most of the events are geared toward the senior population, so calling this place an "athletic country club" feels misleading. And the last‑minute changes to heated classes, suddenly moving them outdoors when it's 60 degrees and cloudy, make no sense. It feels like they're sacrificing quality just to squeeze in more bodies. It was heartbreaking to lose the cycle classes as that was the only community I had been able to build there. When the gym is crowded, it's barely usable. I've seen the saunas so packed that people are standing shoulder to shoulder. It's uncomfortable and defeats the purpose entirely. And while most of the staff are friendly, it's hard not to notice that some employees show up smelling like weed, which doesn't exactly match the "premium" image they're trying to sell.

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.
