To start out this business has been around for a while! If I recall correctly they took over what…read moreused to br a Gold's gym in Pelham after it shut down during covid. Since then they have added and improved a great deal of things to this place! I have been going to this gym for over 5 years now and have absolutely loved it. The staff are all super kind and willing to answer questions and the head manager is always ready to answer anything too. When you first walk in you have the open area along with the day care room on your right and then you have the front desk and next to that is the smoothie bar! I have come to it to get plenty of Protein packed drinks to help refuel myself after a workout. They have a large variety of machines and freeweights on the ground floor on top of many other amazing options too. Upstairs you will have a more private workout area that is smaller and a vast majority of the cardio machines. Downstairs in the main area you will have the racket ball room, the workout/class room, the cycling room, the media room with a giant cinema screen to watch while working out, the pool area along with 24e's own version of crossfit in the room behind it. What is also awesome about the place is that they both come with spacious restroom and locker rooms. Fully equipped with showers and plenty of body wash or shampoo if needed. The guy's area comes with a sauna and a steamer room and I believe the women's rest room/locker room comes with a sauna as well. On top of this gym being a 24 hour access gym with scanning pass key access the community has really shown up and continued to grow and come to this gym over the years. And I am sure it will only continue to grow!

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.

It only took three months for me to lose 20 pounds, inches, and gain considerable muscle definition. The personal coaching was spot-on, positive, private and produced results. All I had to do was show up with the right attitude and commit to eating healthy. Constance planned all the workouts (and every session was different!), kept track of the amount of weight used for each exercise, provided instruction and guidance. It was the exact catalyst I needed to get me on a lifelong journey of taking care of myself. She is honest and upfront, doesn't speak unrealistic expectations, and totally worth my personal investment.

This is not a fabulous YMCA. Having a membership, I am able to use all of theYMCA's in Alabama and…read moretake advantage of the privilege. The gripe on this one is the smell of the locker room. There is a pool and showers and there is carpet in the locker room? Makes no sense! Besides that, the facility is fine. Because of my schedule I am there later in the evening and the place is typically packed with kids playing in various sports programs. The weight room equipment is dated, but you can get a good workout in. The indoor cycling room is crammed and not a great environment. One neat thing is the separate cardio room. The room is kept cool with fans running and has 4 televisions to keep people entertained. Great place for families, which is what the YMCA is there for, but not a great place for me.
