This place got me in shape for the USMC OCS program. Ask for Margaret. Any gym that can put together a program worthy of the marines deserves 6 stars in my book. And they're great about giving military discounts too!

I have regularly attended conditioning workouts at Wheelhouse for nearly 6 months and have had an amazing experience! The conditioning program is the perfect mix of conditioning and strength exercises for me (they also offer a strength program and open gym). The staff is great and scaled down exercises are always explained in case you have limitations or aren't comfortable with any of the movements.
I was initially hesitant to join a gym focused on group workouts but I'm fully converted to the model now after experiencing Wheelhouse!

Let me start by saying that this is NOT any ordinary gym. When I walked into the facility for the first time, I was immediately welcomed into a warm, caring, and pleasant atmosphere. I was looking for a gym that could challenge/transform me with very intense work-outs, and by golly do they live up to their name. Luan, Faye, and Hunter are very supportive. I love the fact that they really care about their Wheelhouse students. They go above and beyond to offer instructional techniques, as well as much needed encouragement. Wheelhouse Academy offers functional fitness that caters to all levels. I'm thrilled to be a part of such an elite group of individuals, and this is by far the best gym I have joined thus far.

Wheelhouse Academy is THE place for people of all levels of fitness who want to get healthier, stronger, leaner and have fun in a safe community-based environment. It is truly amazing how the team at WHA has managed to create a space where you can learn the movements and exercises that work for you in a safe way. Joining Wheelhouse changed my body, my health, and my energy level BUT staying apart of the Wheelhouse has changed me as a person. Come for the fitness and stay for the community!!

As someone new to this type of program, I found it challenging but very accessible due to the time the coaches spent ensuring I was doing movements properly. The space is clean and the people are welcoming.

Fantastic coaching in the nicest, cleanest training facility in Birmingham! If you want to get actual personalized training & not be a number in a gym with 40 locations, this is where you want to be. The equipment is absolutely incredible. This is the best gym in all of the Birmingham area!

I have been exercising for a long time, but training at Wheelhouse Academy for the last 10 months has increased my level and knowledge of fitness tremendously! The owners, coaches, and staff created an environment conducive to any fitness goals. In addition to conditioning and strength classes, Wheelhouse Academy has added yoga and striking classes as well as frequent community events that makes this place a real value. No matter your fitness level anyone is welcome here. Seeing people work hard and learning new skills that they didn't think they were capable of (like doing a pull up for the first time) has been great to witness. Lastly, I love to come to the gym each day to see my friends and we have a ton of fun while we improve ourselves!

I have been working out at Wheelhouse since July and battled a reoccurring back injury from surgery when I was in college. Rather than throwing in the towel, Luan and the crew provided massage therapy and functional movement exercises to get me back working out. He taught me how to take care of myself and reprogrammed my body to get rid of bad habits I had formed over the years. I wouldn't be back working out if it wasn't for Luan and the guys at Wheelhouse pushing me to keep showing up and working on my problems rather than waiting for the pain to go away. They really take care of the whole person at Wheelhouse and for that reason they have my loyalty and trust.

Wheelhouse is a great gym that comes at a great value for the services and atmosphere that they provide. Wheelhouse is able to serve a broad variety of patrons with a class atmosphere by offering 2 separate programs in strength and conditioning while incubating a competitive atmosphere.
The coaches are very adept in what they do and provide you both the level of instruction you need, or that you desire. They can breakdown all types of lifts from Olympic movements to basic Powerlifting, as well as various warm-up movements, drills, and stretches to make you the most effective lifter you can be.
Lastly the equipment at Wheelhouse is top notch. You will not find a gym in Birmingham that is able to pair the value of these classes, coaches, training schedule, and competition ready gear. I highly recommend Wheelhouse to anyone looking for something beyond your basic gym to pursue your fitness goals

Wheelhouse Academy is a place that fosters learning and growing. The coaches are not concerned with how fast you complete a workout, but how much effort you put into learning and executing the movements correctly. Although it is a relatively new gym, a strong community is already growing of athletes focused on living all around healthy lives. A great aspect of Wheelhouse is that the gym is open anytime classes are not going on so athletes can work on skills outside of class time. The morning of my wedding I really wanted to workout with my bridesmaids, and Luan came in at 7am on a Saturday to open the gym for us. The dedication of Wheelhouse's coaches is amazing and inspiring.

I am blown away by Wheelhouse Academy. Two words come to mind: Quality and Excellence. Everything at Wheelhouse is the best quality. The facilities are well thought out and stocked with the best equipment you will find anywhere in town. The coaches teach excellence. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner who just wants to get in better shape or a seasoned athlete looking to take things to the next level, you will be taught to be better than you were yesterday. They will teach you how to move better and as a result you will see your strength and endurance improve. Along the way to being fitter and healthier you will get to be part of a great community of wonderful coaches and members who will welcome you and make you a part of the family. What's your Wheelhouse?

Absolutely incredible! From concept to execution, Wheelhouse got it right. The programming here is exactly what I've been looking for to improve my skill and technique. The coaching, the facilities and the equipment, are all top notch. The VERY FIRST DAY I PR'ed a lift!
The Wheelhouse guys have been listening to the fitness community. What they like, what they don't like, what they want more and or less of. They took everything they heard and made a gym for US, and they hit the nail on the head. I'm so excited to be a part of the Wheelhouse community!

Wheelhouse Academy is the premiere facility in Birmingham for athletes of all skill levels. There is an inviting and family-like atmosphere that is immediately evident once you enter this stunning facility. The Coaches are experienced, well trained, and dedicated to every athlete's success and safety. Whether one is looking for a conditioning program, mobility work, recovery techniques, nutritional planning, or perfecting their Olympic lifts, Wheelhouse has the equipment, the facility, and the people to make it happen for their clients.

Great atmosphere and staff! They offer both strength and conditioning classes, in addition to open gym time. All of their equipment is Rogue, so you're training with the best equipment.
