But there comes a time when you just need to mix it up and try something different. And when it was Luan heading it up, you know when it comes to the cutting edge of fitness in Bham, he is the man and so follow him I did and I am so glad I did!!! There is a "cross-fit" aspect to the conditioning workouts, although with a definite twist. Everyday is not a 1,2,3 go and hit your redline. You actually spend time during the week working on positioning and form. There is one day focusing on active recovery. Some days they will throw in steel maces which are so much fun and beyond challenging. It's all about the whole body, including what you put in your body as well. To top things off, during every class time, there is a simultaneous class running in strength training and Olympic weightlifting. Because its not all about conditioning, but all recent studies in fitness and keeping your body in top condition is including strength training. And with Luan at the helm who has devoted his career in the fitness world to the study of Olympic weight training, this is the real deal. And don't be afraid if you have never done it. The trainers are there to work your through and make sure your form and movement is where it should be. WH has even formed an Olympic weightlifting team that has been competing around the southeast and doing really well. But not only do you get top equipment and instruction, the community is one of the best I have ever been associated with. Encouraging, open, caring and just people you want to hang with. You really do end of feeling it is your home away from home. The people of WH are here to help you succeed, reach for your best self, and make sure you do it safely. WH is always running deals where you can try it for a week for free or pay for only a month so you can try it before you jump on in and commit. I promise if you try it...you will find your home. Thank you for the training WH!

A lot of gyms have some great qualities, but very few gyms go above and beyond in all areas…read more Wheelhouse is one of those few. No other gym I know of has the same level of professional and intentional coaches and staff. They have gone to great lengths to make the gym both as useful and accessible to as many people as possible. For example, there are regular class options for those who want to be apart of a class, there are drop-in options, and they now have open gym option for people who just want to use the facility to train on their own. Not to mention if you pay for regular classes, you also have open gym access whenever the doors are open. Suffice it to say that if you're looking for an awesome gym in Birmingham, chances are high WHA will meet your needs. Lastly but also importantly, the facility and equipment are top of the line and competition-ready. The strength class uses the Rogue Olympic Weightlifting barbells and plates, and the conditioning side has Concept2 rowers, SkiErg, and Assault AirBikes in addition to also having more Rogue barbells, plates, and dumbbells as well. So much more to say, but Wheelhouse is an easy 5 stars!

This is such a nice little workout studio in downtown Birmingham. It is at The Battery downtown so…read morethere is a small parking lot that is shared between them and a few other businesses so I'm usually able to find a space but have sometimes had to opt for street parking. All the ladies that work at this studio are super nice and helpful! They are on the second floor of The Battery. You walk in and you can place your stuff in the cubby holes and change shoes/into sticky socks. You initial your name at the front desk, and they also have a mini-storefront with things like clothing and accessories. The studio is impeccably clean! You have weights, straps, TRX straps, balls, the coolest foldable yoga mats, and these little round foot pads that they use to work out in. I have been to a couple of classes including their Fusion and Express (shorter) classes. The first class was challenging to me, but later on I really enjoyed these classes. They usually offer several morning classes from about 5am-8am, a noon class, and the afternoon classes are usually from 3pm-6pm. I usually pick the noon or early afternoon classes cause I'm just not a morning person lol. They also provide such an uplifting environment! I always feel so great after class and look forward to it so much.

Literally one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had to deal with…read more Got the membership in Feb. Around June I went to the facility for the last time. At the end of that month I moved and had to cancel. I called, the girl on the phone stated that the account was canceled. Never received an email or anything. Assumed that it had been dealt with considering I never received something about it. 4 months later in December I realized that it had been charging my account every month since then. Which I thought was odd considering the cancellation policy is only 2 months of membership past the cancellation of the account. So I call in September, a different girl on the phone told me that the account had never been canceled or even triggered to be canceled and that if it had I should have received an email. I asked her to check the email on file and she said it was correct. I check my inbox and never received anything. At this point had the cancellation been done properly I would have only paid half of what I had paid at this point. She told me there was nothing she or anyone at gym time could do. Manager was not there. And that my only option was to cancel it now and pay 2 more months. Which I thought was unfair. I told her to send the email to close the account. I ended the call. I yet again. Never received an email. Frustrated and in the middle of a breakup/move I called the bank and had them block access to my card for Gym Time. And never heard anything else except an automated message from the billing company telling me I had a balance. I eventually got another call from Gym Time and was texted and asked to call back. I called back and they basically informed me that I owed around 200$ and that they needed it now because my account was pending closure and they would just have to send it to collections. When I asked to speak to the manager and told her all of the events leading up to today she told me that none of that made sense and there was no way that could have happened the way I said it did. Again saying that this was my fault and to check my email. Said that there was no one above her that I could speak to and the best she could do was take off the late fees and have me pay the 87 dollars in missed fees in addition to two months after cancellation. Not her fault though. It's the billing company. I asked for the name of the billing company. ABC financial. When I called the billing company to get more information. I was informed that since my last date of access for the facility was in June. I was not responsible financially for any monthly fees after that month. Which was paid. The customer service lady for ABC financial also informed me that they had misspelled GMAIL in my email address in the system. So I could not have canceled at any point even if I had wanted to!!! I asked on 3 separate occasions for my email to be doubled checked. And they told me every time it was fine and that this was an issue in my end. THEY MISSPELLED GMAIL not my actual account name.... Gmail..... xxxxxxx@gmil.com That's how it was in the system. I was also informed by ABC that I should speak to Anthony. Who does not work there anymore. The billing company doesn't even have the correct information for them. When I called back and told them all of this. I was told "well we both made mistakes!" I ended up having to give them 58$ even to just wipe my hands clean of all of it. I was just so tired of the process. So 177$ I paid extra than I ever should have. Plus hours on the phone, calling the billing company for Gym Time, and essentially being called a liar, in addition to being threatened with collections. Never got an apology. 6 months of fees extra I had to pay after I initially tried to cancel the membership in order to not be sent to collections. I understand that this is the business model for gyms. It's how they make their money. But this just felt straight predatory. Especially considering how easy of a fix all of this could have been. I literally spent half of an entire year and 177$ dollars to try and get this resolved. Late June to now. Brittney the receptionist was the only person who apologized. Thanks Brittney. I know it's not your fault! This is a great gym if you never have to fix a clerical or billing error or if you never have to deal with the Manager Linda.
