Find a Personal Trainer in Pelham

I've been trying to lose weight for over a year now. I was working out at my old gym but wasn't getting the diet right. I'm so grateful that I found Shaping U! Brad and his team are exactly what I needed. Brad sat down with me and worked out a meal plan that considered my 12 hr shifts at work and my days in the gym. The workouts are challenging but fun! They consider where you are in your fitness journey and only push you when they know that you're physically capable of doing the movement. I feel supported in my weight loss goals because I feel like I'm held accountable, but without any judgment. I can talk to Brad and the trainers about my struggles/concerns and they help me find ways to overcome them. Finally seeing results has been so encouraging. I love these guys!

Donnie has worked with me for years on so many goals I’ve had not just fitness! He very knowledgeable about all aspects of diet , nutrition and training. He taught me how to live a healthy lifestyle and stay fit for the rest of my life .

I walked into Shaping U Fitness 6 weeks ago, fed up with how things were, knowing that I needed a change, not just a quick fix but a lifestyle change. Brad was super helpful with explaining the meal plan. Everything makes sense, and it won’t break the bank.The trainers have worked me hard, pushed me beyond what I thought I could do. I went from having to convince myself to go in during the initial two weeks to looking forward to going after work. The woman who walked into the gym 6 weeks ago is gone, replaced by a stronger, more confident woman.It’s a relatively small gym with group training sessions. Everyone is very encouraging and helpful. I know the “regulars” for my preferred time slot, not something I got from a larger gym. And when I missed one of my regular days the accountability coach would check in on me. I really feel like part of the Shaping U family. My 6 week challenge may be over, but I’m not done. I highly recommend Shaping U!

I have trained Krav Maga with the International Krav Maga Federation for the past 3 years. Every IKMF school I have been to and trained with have the nicest well trained most professional instructors. CounterStrike Krav Maga is no exception. With direct ties to Israel this makes CounterStrike and the IKMF the learders in self defense (Krav Maga,) and the best in the world.

Great place.. we enjoy it very much and look forward to spending more time there with our kiddo!

I love the Snap in Helena, great trainers and instructors that make our members feel like family. No goal is too big or too small, so let the folks at Helena Snap Fitness help you along the way in your fitness journey!!

highly recommend this awesome gym & these sweet humans!

My son has been taking Tae Kwon Do for approximately 3 nearly 4 yrs now. We've been through one ownership change and a couple individual instructor changes and one location change; however the principals and values remain the same.My son plays football and has 0 interest in any other sport. He started Tae Kwon Do during football offseason for exercise and to improve balance and coordination. He recently received his black belt. His mother and I are beyond proud.This martial arts gym allows my son to take breaks while football is in season and return when the season is over.Taking Tae Kwon Do has dramatically improved his balance and coordination and made him more assertive on the football field.This studio is great for all  kids for a myriad of different reasons. Other parents and students alike I've spoken to use this facility for: self defense, organized activity for home schooled children, behavioral/ structural respect issues and countless other reasons including my kid wants to be a Ninja Turtle.Parents are encouraged to take classes also. They offer Cub, Youth and Adult classes days a week.Promotions run periodically for discounts on classes and equipment. You can check their website or Facebook to see the current opportunities. I'm relatively certain you can come in at virtually any class on any day (age appropriate of course) and try a class out at no cost or obligation.The lead instructor and manager of this facility is Meredith Little. The owner is Danny Williams.Mr. Williams owns this facility, Hoover and Jasper.You can take classes at Pelham or Hoover if you sign up at either location. The testings for advancement are held at the Hoover location.As a member of Tiger Rock you will also be encouraged to represent at tournaments. You are not required to. We've been to Tuscaloosa a couple times and Nationals at the BJCC.You can go a couple days a week, emerge yourself and go more and you can even take additional classes for weapons training.It's a great facility and it's well run. If you or your child has an interest in martial arts, I would encourage you to give it a shot.

Great atmosphere! Very motivating trainer (Pamela) and she very knowledgeable. I do not regret making The Fitness Connection my choice in bettering myself physically as well as mentally.
