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.

You can have all the best equipment but if I'm gonna get staph or ringworm using it, I'm not interested.

Love this gym so far. It has a good community and it is affordable. The HIIT classes with Stephanie…read moreand Kyle are my favorite. I previously was an OTF member but classes were not as challenging and coaches never pushed you. At the Grind, you'll have coaches that are passionate about proper form and working muscles groups to fatigue. I have not trained like this since college. Additionally, the body scan is very in depth and can help you with your fitness goals. I'm also being personally trained by Kyle. He is certified in many areas of physical training and has his own app to track your macros, fitness workouts, etc. This gym is amazing and has a fair price. People here are of all ages and it is diverse. My only grievance is I want more HIIT classes times. However, they offer booty band classes by Leslie a former body builder and boxing classes by Carlos! Shout out to Kyle and Stephanie who are my favorite coaches to see! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEIR SERVICES!

I highly encourage anyone that wants someone for training and education on nutrition to work with Stacy.

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.
