Not only did Cowboy (our dog) learn new things every session but we did as well. Ladale makes you feel very comfortable and makes sure you are equipped when you leave to continue training at home. Cowboy is a reactive dog (not aggressive) and anxious dog. Ladale has helped us with his reactivity as well as him learning to respect us and trust us. We are most likely going to do another round of classes in the new year. The money was well worth it & Ladale works with you to make sure you get everything you need. His training schedule felt very personalized & organized. We would 10,000 times recommend! He also makes sure every class is fun & doesn't feel like work.

What I love about his work is that he takes the time to assess the client overall to determine which muscles are of primary importance to stretch and which muscles are of primary importance to strengthen. That is the first thing you want in a trainer is good detective work. He is patient and easy going with a strategic plan in mind to improve the client's performance and function for daily life routines while building a nice physique in the process! His studio is in the heart of English Village, extremely convenient. I love that there are no studio prices currently, so his price is very affordable. I highly recommend Marlon and his services.

Was a good place to workout before they "updated" the equipment. They greatly reduced the amount of…read moremachines to make room for free weights. The 30 minute circuit was removed from its area and now supplements the machines they removed so the gym doesn't look sparse. This means it is almost impossible to complete a 30 minute circuit in time (and keep your heart rate up) because you will have to wait for the people who camp out on the machines to rest between their 3 sets on one machine. The majority of people there camp out on machines texting or scrolling on phones while they rest. It takes awhile to complete muscle groups on machines because of this. Until this location brings back the dedicated 30 minute circuit and adds machines back, I will not return. Joining another gym next month. Sad about management's change to attract free weight body builders by losing members who prefer machines and a quick workout. I really liked it before the change and referred a lot of people there.

This used to be a great location, until they "updated". They deleted many machines I used daily,…read morethere is no more 30 minute work out room, it's basically unorganized. I will not go back to this location.

Great gym, focused on kettlebell exercises, and the trainer/owner Jody is amazing. He really has a…read moregood sense of your ability and potential, and has made sure that I've continued to grow stronger and more mobile. I can not recommend this gym more for someone interested in strength and mobility. Five stars is not enough. For the ladies worried about bulking up, that's not going to happen. This exercise will build strength and tone, and if you are exercising "naturally" then you will not bulk. It just doesn't work that way. You will not regret working with Jody. If you're an older person, don't think you can't grow strong here. You can.

Great box with very friendly staff and members. I was in Birmingham for business and wanted to get…read moresome good workouts while I was there. Went Monday-Wednesday for the 6:30a classes. The most that was there at one time was on Wednesday, about 12 or so people. Not sure if that is indicative of usual Wednesdays, but I thought I would mention it. I would say that the most members that should be in there is about 12 due to the space, especially if the workout involves barbell work. Drop in rates for multiple days seemed pretty reasonable - $45 for 3 days. I expected that it would be $20/day. Also they are pretty active on Facebook which is always a plus for me. When I was researching crossfit gyms in the area I sent them a message on Facebook and they responded. Even while I was already in Birmingham they responded to messages. Just to give you an idea of the WODs I did while was there: Heavy Diane - deadlift 275# and headstand push-ups (of course I did scaled version) EMOM 9 burpees for 20min - if you do less than 10 rounds = 50 penalty burpees; 11-14 rounds = 30 penalty burpees; 15+ rounds = no penalty Overall great place to workout, the only concern would be space if there was a lot of people coming in. And maybe I did not see it on their site, but some kind of online sign in would be even better so you could see how many people would be at the class.
