    Birmingham is an fantastic town with amazing places. Lakeshore Foundation is a perfect example. If you don't look hard you might miss this hidden gem. This is a top notch Olympic and Paralympic training facility right in our back yard, but that's not all. Thanks to the Lakeshore Foundation, the smallest child to the oldest go-getter have a place to learn, train, and realize they can accomplish anything they want. Rock walls, exercise rooms, gyms, an aquatic center and more let are just the beginning. If you live in Birmingham or are just visiting, you should check this place out.

    Purchased a one week membership during a recent trip to Birmingham. This is my second experience at…read moreSculpt (last in November of 2024), and it has only gotten better. They are a small gym with 24 hour access. Matt was very easy to work with to gain access to the gym even though I arrived to Birmingham late on a weekend. They have expanded their equipment inventory since my last visit and remain well equipped for aerobic training (treadmills, stair climbers, bikes, Ergs, Ski-erg, etc.) as well as functional training balls, bands, sleds, etc.) while maintaining the character of a weightlifting gym with an ample supply of machines and free weights, benches and racks, as well as some slightly more esoteric offerings (Kabuki bar, ladder bar, belt squat machine). I have nothing negative to say about the gym at all. My personal preference is to have no music in a gym during off hours so that I can more easily hear what I want through headphones, but I suspect I am in the minority on that point.

    Destin, the owner is fantastic. She allows day passes so we made a trip over here while in town. We…read morefound everything we needed here and it was clean, well stocked and everyone was warm and friendly. She greeted us right at the door after we made an appointment to come in. We couldn't have asked for a smoother system. I think the thing that struck me most about this gym is that there was no "dude" energy or bad gym bro attitude where people tell you how to do things or stare or do any uncomfortable things to make you feel unwelcome. This is a beautiful thing and often absent in gym environments. As someone who's worked out with free weights for over 3 decades, I appreciate being left alone and not feeling uncomfortable. I imagine it would also be refreshing for the younger ladies as I remember getting hassled in my youth by guys like that. More gyms need to foster this environment and understand that girls lift also. Who knows, they may be working on something different or have information that you don't have. I wish there was a gym like this in my area, I would join in a heartbeat. Thanks for the pleasant, stress free workout environment!

    If you're looking for a gym with a personal trainer with nutritional and evidence based fitness…read moreknowledge, Fit 280 is your best choice. Del, the personal trainer, will listen to what your fitness goals and create a realistic plan to help you achieve what you want. For me, I wanted to know the benefits about intermittent fasting, an appropriate meal plan, and an exercise routine to help me lose my abdominal fat. Del took the time and effort to write up on a marker board what exercises to do, what food to eat, and completely answer my knowledge gaps. In just 6 weeks, I was able to drop my body fat percentage by 5%. It wasn't easy, but I couldn't have done it without Del's help. Aside from personal training, there are 1 hour early morning + late afternoon classes Monday to Friday (and Saturday mornings) in which you will do extensive circuit workout routines. These are extremely helpful because these routines are both challenging and motivational. Del oversees each person and develops a plan whether it's weight loss or weight gain. The gym has squat racks, bench press bars, ropes, cycles, and much more. It is extremely well ventilated, several clean bathrooms, and cubicles to store your belongings. Water is available in a small refrigerator. The atmosphere is relaxed. Every gym member is chill and super supportive. I would highly recommend this gym and Del to anyone looking for fitness classes or personal training in Birmingham!

We design and implement personalized training plans for every aspect of weight loss. In short, we offer personal training that doesn't end when you walk out the door. Each client is in constant contact with their trainer whenever they need help, is given a program to follow even on the days that they aren't working with their trainer, and is given constant workout and nutritional updates throughout their weight loss journey. Here, at Fit 280, we pride ourselves on giving realistic and easy to follow nutrition guides. We do not crash diet our clients and we do not deprive clients of their favorite foods if we can help it. Another great thing about Fit 280 is every member that walks through the door is a training client. There are no general gym members to crowd the facility.
