The Fit Facility - Crestwood Village

Fantastic experience: Troxell the owner is the best! He has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to fitness. Cyling, yoga, running, strongman, bodybuilding, he has done it all. The one thing that sets him apart from his peers is his flexible approach to coaching. He is not about "it's my way or highway." Troxell will listen to you and your body, then develop a plan to achieve YOUR goal, not anybody else's. He will definitely be an asset your fitness journey and a good friend along the way. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to this gym since 2020. Jake is an amazing trainer and all around great guy. He works with everyone on their individual needs and goals, pushing us to improve ourselves. He has been extremely great at modifications to any moves as needed due to injuries or as I've recovered from covid.

Fantastic experience: I love the Fit Facility. It's a great local space for intentional, flexible, and well-designed fitness classes for holistic strength and flexibility. The Fit Facility is a bargain, super close to home, AND you don't have to book classes in advance - you can just show up at any of the class times that work for you and get your work out in! However, what really makes the Fit Facility great is the people; Jake the owner and trainer is incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming and does a phenomenal job of meeting people wherever they are in their fitness journey - I have high trust and respect for Jake. The other people who workout are great too; we vary in skill set, fitness, age, and experience, but we all get along well and Jake makes everyone sweat!

Fantastic experience: This is what gyms should all be like. No judgment and lots of support. I am a plus size woman, so gyms have not always felt like somewhere I belonged, but Fit Facility is different. I'm one of the bigger people in the gym, but have never once felt like I've been treated different by coach or any of the other gym members. Jake is pretty low-key and is unbelievable at meeting people where they're at and adjusting things when needed so that everyone gets a great workout.

Fantastic experience: Can't beat this place! Jake is an Amazing instructor and the atmosphere is something I look forward to! The workouts are designed very well and you can literally feel yourself getting stronger!!!

Fantastic experience: This has been my favorite gym I have ever joined. Jake is the trainer, owner and an awesome human being. Things I like about this gym: wide age range, wide body type range, can show up to any of the allotted times, Jake gets to know you on both a coach and personal level, and the people are great. If you are at all nervous about walking into the gym for the first time like I was this is the best environment. NO judgement. Everyone is here to get and be better.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym and have quickly made it my go-to workout space! Jake is very personal and the classes are always a small-moderate size that allow me to feel that my individual health and technique are noticed and prioritized. I highly recommend it to anyone, whether a beginner or more advanced with fitness knowledge.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Jake does a great job making you feel welcome and helping you maximize your workouts.

Fantastic experience: Easily my favorite gym I have been to. Jake is super knowledgeable and presents the class in a very approachable way regardless of skill. That doesn’t mean the classes won’t kick your butt! Fit Facility delivers results

Fantastic experience: Fit Facility is the most fun I've had at a gym in a long time! Jake is a great coach - friendly, approachable, and knowledgable. He knows when to step in to help and when to leave you to get on with things. The classes are a good balance - it's easy to get started, and there are always options to push yourself harder as you progress. I can't recommend Fit Facility highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Jake is an incredible fitness coach, mentor, and friend. All workouts are based in real world applications and functional movements. I love the consistency of knowing which days are heavy lifting days and which are cardio days. Jake truly cares about his clients, both from a personal and fitness perspective.

Fantastic experience: This is such an awesome gym. Jake puts a lot of thought behind each workout and mixes it up so you don’t ever feel redundant. The work outs are great for all skill levels. Very laid back and encouraging environment

Fantastic experience: I switched over to Fit Facility almost one year ago from a Cross Fit gym. The workouts are challenging yet totally scalable. Jake’s attitude is always positive and he’s very attentive without being annoying. Thanks for the affirming fist-bumps, coach. I’m seeing results and having fun. Mostly it’s totally a neighborhood gym in the best neighborhood in the city with the best neighbors. The community is fun, inclusive, diverse and encouraging. So glad to have made all these new friends!

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a place that will not only get you in shape but also exudes positivity then this is it. Jake Kimbrough is the owner and he personally trains you - even if you're a part of a class. When I started I could barely walk up a flight of stairs without assistance and now my entire life has changed because of what I experience here. I am stronger every day and my body changes every week - it's all about how much you put into it and I'm better at 3 times a week. I can climb those stairs now on my own. Thanks Jake!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to this gym since February and Jake is amazing! I am a beginner and I was looking for somewhere close to home to make sure I made it to my workouts. I would’ve never guessed I would find a gym with such a welcoming community. Jake meets me at my level and everyone who attends the gym is so welcoming and helpful! I’ve made so many strides since joining this gym. I went from dreading workouts to looking forward to what I will achieve next! Jake makes sure I have the correct form for every workout to avoid injuries and get the most from each exercise. He’s very supportive during the workouts but not overbearing (a perfect mix in my opinion). I’m so glad to have found this gym and I’m always recommending it to whoever will listen. Do yourself a favor and come to one of the classes. You won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: Visited the facility for the 1st time today. Jake was friendly and assisted me with my work out!! I will definitely be returning back!!

Fantastic experience: I've done a lot of different workout/lifting programs since high school and college athletics, but I don't know that I've seen as much drastic progress so soon as when I joined The Fit Facility. Jake has a program that literally fits from beginners to folks who have spent years in the gym. I can honestly say I'm in some of the best shape of my life well after my "prime". The efficiency of the workouts is one of the best parts. If you "don't have the time" to make it to the gym, this takes that excuse right out of the equation. For people who may not feel comfortable in the classic gym setting, this place is also outstanding as there's no intimidation factor to walking in. Jake coaches everyone up on every exercise and makes you feel comfortable out of the gate.

Fantastic experience: I am a physical therapist in the Birmingham area and work with some of Jake's clients. I will say, he does not send us too, too many patients, because his training is so focused and dialed in that individuals rarely are injured. On top of focused, high quality training, Jake has done an incredible job building a welcoming community to embrace you along your fitness journey. If you haven't checked out the Fit Facility... You should, TODAY!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going here for about 5 months and I’m so glad I started. I wanted to try weightlifting at another gym, but the free weights were too intimidating since I was worried about form and also not strong enough to use the bar. But the group classes take all that away. I just come in and do the work and don’t have to worry about anything. Jake is a great coach and always helps you with your form. It’s like having a personal trainer without the cost. He’s always encouraging and that makes a big difference. I feel so much stronger, and I’m excited to see more progress.

Fantastic experience: This is a great well-run gym, and Jake is the man! He’s attentive and personable and genuinely cares about helping you become the best version of yourself!

Fantastic experience: I have never worked out in a gym before, so when I started at The Fit Facility, I was a true beginner. Jake has been so patient, and has taken the time to make sure I get the basics down. He provides customization for exercises for whatever level you’re at, so it’s a great workout for everyone. The workouts are always different, which ensures you’ll never get bored. I now look forward to going to the gym every day.

Fantastic experience: No need to look any further! I have tried many workout styles and programs, and The Fit Facility has been the answer to my search. The head coach puts purposeful thought, exercise science, and care into the weekly programming and exercise structure. Their approach to strength and conditioning works for someone starting at zero or even more advanced athletes. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough great things about Jake and the workouts!! He is the best coach I have ever had. The workouts are great! You don’t feel like your going to get hurt like some of the other gyms. Jake is a great motivator!!

Fantastic experience: Jake, the owner is so cool and professional. The space feels safe and inviting. I loving getting stronger and healthier without feeling inadequate. Highly recommend trying out this place

Fantastic experience: Great workout, even better coach! Perfect location to go and grab a coffee and antique shop right up the stairs from the gym too! 10/10 would recommend

Fantastic experience: If you're somebody who needs extra motivation and accountability to keep yourself in the gym, definitely give The Fit Facility a go. My wife and I joined because it's so close to our house but now we're 4 months in and still going. We tried the whole self-motivation thing by joining The Y and renting exercise equipment for our house but we're just not good at holding ourselves accountable. Jake's done a much better job of that. Jake's program alternates between conditioning days and strength days and they're constantly changing so it never gets stale. Each session is right around 45 minutes and they're HIIT style, doing 30 seconds of activity and 30 seconds of rest. Because of the small class sizes, there are many days where it feels like we have a personal trainer. Jake also works with a sister facility up in Florence to keep evolving the program. Way cheaper than comparable trainer/coach + small class gyms. When we first tried it out, he offered a free week for us to see if we liked it. If anything, give him a shout so you can do the trial week.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym. Always a great workout and an even better coach!

Fantastic experience: I've always HATED working out, but decided it was time to get in better shape. I joined The Fit Facility a couple months ago. Not only have I made great progress, but I actually look forward to going to the gym. Jake is a great teacher and is consistently adding new workouts to keep things interesting. My only regret is that I didn't join sooner.

Fantastic experience: I love working out at the Fit Facility and have been going consistently since they opened. Every day is different from the last and I never do a workout or exercise where I ask myself "What is the point of this?" Every day is tailored towards making you stronger and fitter by focusing on movements you would actually do in your day to day life. Jake, the trainer at Fit Facility is excellent at explaining and teaching new movements while never making anyone feel dumb if they don't pick it up instantly. You should work out here!

Fantastic experience: This is the best workout program I’ve ever used. Jake is a master at his trade and has a schedule and pricing that allows me to work out often enough to make a difference in the way I look, feel and function. Besides that, he’s a really nice guy that is patient, caring and fun.
