I went to this gym for well over a year, and was extremely saddened when I had to find a new gym due to relocation. Stephanie (owner) runs a tight ship, whether it be the HIIT classes she provides or managing the building and the gym in its entirety. Under previous ownership, the gym was just okay and felt like something you only stuck with because you were used to it, because no one likes starting at a new gym. Under Stephanie’s ownership and management, this is a place you get excited to go and get after it. The atmosphere is incredible, the people are so kind, and there is always constant improvements. This isn’t your typical “throw equipment in a gym and lock customers into contract” type of gym. Stephanie doesn’t have customers, she has friends and portrays a sense of responsibility for the well being of everyone who walks through the front door. There is a sense of community in this gym unlike any other. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, this gym is for you.

Amazing mix of that “old school” gym feel with modern touches. I’ve been to many gyms in Tuscaloosa and this one has great pricing, amazing training/classes, and it’s always clean! Highly recommend!

This place is advertised as a 24/7 gym but the automatic door scanner only works when it wants to it seems like. Countless times it has failed to let people in and they’re stuck waiting on someone who has a key to show up and manually unlock the door to let you in. The air conditioning has not been working so in the afternoons I’ve seen temps in the 80s inside the building. The bathroom has a mold smell to it and the countertops/sinks are always filthy. Multiple times the stalls have not have toilet paper in them. I would not recommend this gym to anyone.

This gym was falling apart before the new owners took over. The A/C has been down for months, the front door has been broken for months. The new owners took over April 1, already have new A/C units installed and working within 3 weeks!!! This is not an easy task. The new owners CANNOT be blamed for the problems the gym had prior to them taking over. They have done an amazing job cleaning up the mess that was left to them.

Fantastic gym, wonderful atmosphere, and the sweetest owner and her daughter ❤️They have seriously gone above and beyond with watching my 2 year old little boy,so my husband and I are able to work out together during his lunch hour! My little boy now looks forward to seeing them daily and LOVES the sweet daughter who watches him AND her sweet Mama, who is the owner.Since they have taken ownership on April 1st, we've seen such a wonderful improvement and can't wait to see what else these sweet girls have planned for our gym!
