Ill update and add a more detailed review. This place is amazing. The workouts are hard but fun, the environment is friendly and encouraging, the coaches keep you motivated, and overall just a fantastic place. I 200% recommend this gym to anyone wanting a good workout and positive vibes!

I just completed the drop 20 challenge at Squad and I lost 20.6 lbs in 6 weeks. I love the people and the atmosphere here. If you need motivation just look to your trainers, if you need inspiration just look to your gym mates. Their are so many inspirational members here, too many to list. If you want a great gym this is definitely the place for you!

I am doing the drop 20 challenge going on the 5th week and I have already lost 19 lbs and still have 2 weeks to go, but not quitting there - Im continuing and gonna get all this extra weight off. I love this gym!

Great place for training, great atmosphere, best trainers...

This gym is a great place to work out very friendly environment and the coaches are very good

Great group of trainers!

Squad Fitness is an amazing gym. The gym is filled with an atmosphere that is encouraging and pushes you to do your best. My entire experience at Squad Fitness was awesome. This is not your average gym. The equipment and environment is like not other. The workouts are great and it is always something different when you get there. The instructors at Squad Fitness want you to succeed. They will work with you and push you to keep going. I highly recommend Squad Fitness to anyone who wants to get in shape. I truly think that if you give this gym a chance you will love it!

Absolutely loved the 6 week challenge. I lost 26.8lbs with the drop 20 challenge... and a challenge it was you have to stick to the plan and do what you are supposed to do. You wont regret it tho. They have fantastic trainers there to help you with workouts and questions about diet. I absolutely love them!

Over the past six weeks I have had a great time at Squad. Every day was a new workout and it really kept you on your toes. It was beyond tough but the trainers really kept you motivated to keep pushing. It was a great experience and Im so glad I did it. I lost 32.8 pounds during the six week challenge and Im beyond excited. It has really got me back to loving working out. Thank you guys at Squad so much!

Wow, what am awesome place to be a part of! I have recently completed the six weeks challenge and lost 22lbs! I am a healthier and happier me! If you want to be able to keep up with your kids, have more energy throughout the day, fit into your skinny jeans or just try to be healthier, this is the place to join. The trainers are amazing and there is such a sense of community. Dont hesitate! Jump right in!

SQUAD FITNESS REVIEWTo start, all i can say is WOW!! This was definitely hard mentally and physically. The mental part was the hardest trying to reestablish how you eat and having the will power to stick to it. The physical change is different and Im glad I took the Challenge. However, the last couple of days were very difficult. I made the most of my outside gym the last few days. I somehow found the drive and determination to our through...I did 31,238 steps and 14.21 miles of exercise Sunday and 16,062 steps and 6.85 miles on Monday through the holiday weekend. BOOM!! It has given the confidence to know, I can do it with some work, focus and determination!! The friends you make through Squad Fitness also create a support system that was amazing. Thank You ROCK...hes an amazing trainer with all the right GET TO WORK and YOU CAN DO IT support throughout the process. I feel more confident in keeping the 20.4 pounds off and adding more weight loss to that number. Knowledge of the hows and what to do certainly help.To the next group of Challengers...YOU CAN DO IT!!

The six week challenge was great. I was skeptical about doing the challenge at first, due to my work travels. Heather was great to work with, she sent me workouts I could do from my hotel. The facilities are great, the trainers work with you to make sure you understand the workout. I would recommend anyone who wants to loose weight and get into great shape take this challenge!!!! Over my six weeks I was able to loose 30 pounds. If you follow the diet that they provide and drink the recommendations of water this challenge is a breeze. Thanks to all the trainers.

SQUAD is unlike any other gym I’ve tried in the past. I love the format of the workouts (and the music!). The trainers are there with each person every step of the way so no one feels lost during the workout. I also know that I can contact the trainers anytime I have a question which is really nice! I love the community at Squad and how encouraging everyone is. They say to find a workout routine that you love and to stick with it - working out at Squad will definitely be part of my weekly routine moving forward!

I recently completed the challenge and had a great outcome! The trainers and other athletes at the gym were very welcoming. Of course the diet was hard because I was so use to eating whatever I wanted but once I got a few weeks into it I got the hang of it! The work outs were fun but challenging at the same time. I lost a total of 22.6 pounds, 4 inches off of my chest, 5 inches off of my waist, and 4 inches off of each leg! I am completely happy with my results!!

So today was the final weigh in on the six week drop 20 challenge. I lost 15.4 lbs and I am ecstatic!! I will be 62 in about 6 weeks, and this program has helped me do things I didnt think I could do and they wouldnt let me use age as an excuse not to improve myself. Is it hard? Yes,Do they push you to achieve your goals? Absolutely. Was it worth it? Positively! So let me ask you something, do you want to lose weight? Do you want to get healthy? Do you want to be a better you? Are you serious about it? If so,and you need help to accomplish this, Squad Fitness and their staff can help you do this. They are tough but encouraging at the same time, their goal is the same as yours to make you a healthier, stronger, happier person. I give them 5 stars and two thumbs up!!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Squad fitness is a great place to workout. It does not have your conventional gym equipment or environment. Each workout is completed as a group with a trainer instructing you through each segment. The workouts are different each time you go, they are intense and fun all at the same time. They want you to succeed and encourage you to set fitness goals that are achievable for you. You are encouraged to give 100% at each workout and you tend to work harder when you know you have a cheering squad. I highly recommend you give Squad a try, I think you will love it.

The Drop 20 Challenge is an amazing program for anyone wanting to kick start their weight loss / fitness journey. I had been telling myself for the longest that I needed to buckle down and get fit but I also had a terrible time self motivating. The challenge changed that for me. The instruction and diet plan are laid out great so you dont have to guess on if you are following them correctly. The trainers are amazing to work with and truly want to help you be your best self. The workouts are tough but I always left feeling like I had accomplished something. I really enjoyed being able to see in my performance through the challenge that my endurance was increasing. That was almost as satisfying as seeing the numbers on the scale drop. This was definitely the push I needed. I dont dread working out anymore or feel intimidated by it. I would recommend this challenge to anyone who is serious about getting fit and losing weight.

There are so many GREAT things that I have to say about Squad Fitness, that I dont even no where to begin. The trainers are AMAZING and help you every step of the way to achieve your personal goals. The members are friendly and supportive. The atmosphere is fun and family like. Joining Squad Fitness has been the best decision I have made all year.

Squad fitness is the best workout place in the state of Alabama. It doesn’t keep you wondering what workouts to do, you have a planned workout everyday and trainers to get you through every workout. If you are having a hard time losing weight or toning up your body the accountability and trainers will help you achieve your goals and crush them. So if you’re looking for that ‘great review’ that makes you want to join a gym, you found it at Squad!

This place is great. You will get Results! The trainers are always accessible and are there to breakdown the workouts for you. The really believe you can be the best version of yourself. The members at the gym are more like friends and family always encouraging each other. It is a great place to take the first step to the new you.

This has been the best experience. I was at a point where I felt stuck. I was not happy with my appearance and didnt want to go out due to my clothes feeling too tight. I struggle with depression, so I knew I needed the push. I have grown to love working out. I look forward to seeing the trainers and the friends I have made on a daily basis. They motivate me when I feel like giving up. This challenge was the push I needed. I love the results I achieved and cant wait to see the changes my body will continue to make. If you want an environment where you all feel like family then this is the place for you!

I cannot say enough Awesome things about Squad! It is so addicting!! I Just finished the drop 20 challenge, losing 21.6 pounds. It was so tough, but man, I am SO glad I did it! There were plenty of times where I felt like giving up, but I knew in the end it would all be worth it, and it really was! 21.6 pounds GONE. I never thought I would be motivated enough to lose weight and stick to a diet, And I come to Squad and I fall in love with it!! The trainers and staff truly care about you and your fitness journey!! They want to see you succeed! I fell in love with Squad because the staff really do treat you like family. After my first workout at squad, I knew it was something that I wanted to join and be a part of. Everyone, even the members, are so encouraging and friendly! Thanks to Squad I have fallen back in love with eating healthy and working out. 👏🏽 You should try it. I promise you won’t regret it!

The Drop 20 Challenge was a perfect jump start for me. I hadn’t worked out in a long time so the group atmosphere was just what I needed. I enjoyed the workouts, even the ones that kicked my butt. The trainers were supportive and encouraging. They were also more than willing to answer any questions I had. 20 pounds is just the start for me, I have much more to lose but couldn’t motivate myself till I tried the challenge. Squad Fitness was not what I was expecting; it’s so much more!! There is a family atmosphere to the gym. And, the members encourage each other and support each other’s paths to being fit. The encouragement I received from the trainers, members and other challengers was my favorite thing about Squad Fitness in Gardendale. I will definitely be telling my friends about Squad!!

This challenge change my life so much in the short six weeks that I was apart of the drop 20 challenge. Not only did it change me physically but mentally I love going to workout each week. This challenge gave me an outlet for my stress other than running to food for comfort. The support of the staff was amazing as well they encouraged you and pushed you to do the best you can do. For the first time in years I feel comfortable and confident in my own skin.

I knew I wanted to make some changes but I was reluctant. Its been a long time since Ive worked out on a regular basis. I am so glad that I signed up for the Drop 20 Challenge at Squad Fitness!! It has been an awesome experience. The coach and trainers were awesome to work with. The other challengers were also great. We all came in with different abilities and goals and no one was judgemental. After only a few classes I could see a difference in my ability, body, and overall mood. I never once dreaded going to workouts and even missed them on the days I didnt go. Ive joined gyms before and I had a hard time staying motivated and seeing results. The Drop 20 Challenge was so different and I will continue on as a member of Squad Fitness. If you want to get started on your way to a healthy lifestyle and are intimidated, then the Drop 20 Challenge is for you. The whole group starts off together and you learn the exercises as a group.

Squad Fitness has been a great challenge. I am definitely glad my wife and I took this on. All the Coaches are outstanding in their methods of motivating each person. As I said in one of my earlier posts, I did not quite meet my goal, but as I continue on this journey with Squad Fitness, I will accomplish my new goals and more. Thanks to all.

Just completed the Drop 20 Challenge @ Squad Fitness and cannot say enough about the gym and the programs they have to offer! The coaches are amazing and personal, which is hard to find in most gyms! If youre looking for a great fitness program, Squad is for YOU! You wont regret your decision!

I have had the best experience at Firm Body Bootcamp. I have lost 25 pounds in 6 weeks. They push me harder toward goals and are willing to help me in any way to conquer those goals. They hold me accountable and never let me quit!!! Encouragement is what we get when we show up to workout!!! I feel better than I have in a long time. AWESOME place to be.

This has been the most hardest and best challenge Ive ever done. I love my results and my trainers! Ive never had a place make sure you are doing everything correct, text you to encourage to stick with the plan. I highly recommend squad fitness to anyone!

When I started at Squad I was in serious need of a dedicated exercise regimen. All of the trainers are great and there is a welcoming atmosphere at every workout. Squad gave me the structure and encouragement I needed to be successful. The exercises are challenging, but still doable for someone who doesnt have much or any experience with fitness routines. Since I have been coming to Squad I have lost weight and feel stronger than I have in a long time. I plan on continuing my weight loss journey here and I cant wait to see where I end up. I know I will be able to reach my goals based on the experiences Ive had so far. I would recommend Squad Fitness for anyone who is seriously looking to lose weight and/or build muscle, or just improve their health overall.

The people and trainers were all so amazing! I almost cant believe the results I saw with this six week challenge. The trainers were amazing and always offered advice and encouragement. They provided the information that you needed to thrive through meal plans and pushed you in the gym to get the extra rep and burn the calories. They always made sure you had proper form and enough water intake. This is not a fad diet. This is not a quick fix. Its a challenge to be a better healthier you. This is not just a 6 week challenge, its a life long challenge. You can do this if I can do this. I have struggled with binge eating and depression since I was a teenager. Now I have the tools and knowledge to take care of myself and go forward with confidence. I cant wait to continue my journey with them. I have never felt so supported and motivated in my life. Take the challenge and never look back 💜

I just completed the Squad Fitness Drop 20 Challenge and words can not describe the amount of SUCCESS and ACHIEVEMENT I feel in setting a goal and reaching it! The last 6 weeks have been filled with emotions and I am so glad I participated in this program. It started with “I want to do it”, to “I think I can do it”, then “I hope I can do it”, to “I DID IT”!!!!! This program has given me a HUGE head start to get my weight off and has truly taught me a new lifestyle that I can live with. The workout regimen is intense and fun and the trainers hold you accountable and do not let you slack! This program is the REAL DEAL! I have never seen results like this before! 22.6 pounds and 26.75 inches in SIX weeks. I am so proud of my self for the dedication I have given and now my attitude is “I am DOING THIS”....❤️ Thank you, Squad!

Squad fitness rocks!!!! The coaches are amazing, they push you, encourage you, and celebrate your victories with you!All the exercises and moves are fully adaptable to whatever level you are at personally; and the coaches will help you figure out how to modify the moves if necessary. They also push you to keep increasing the level of difficulty as you progress so that you never stall out and get the most benefit from the workout.When I started the Drop20 Challenge with Squad fitness I was weak, out of shape, and if I ever did workout (which I HATED to do) I would start to sweat or get tired or start to hurt and just throw my hands up and say I quit. The first week at Squad I though I was going to die-but with the help of the coaches, and encouragement from my workout buddies I made it through each workout. Then the next week I could tell that I was getting stronger, and it became a game to see how hard I could push myself. If I wasnt so sore I could barely move at the end of a workout, then I didnt push hard enough- and I realized that I wasnt just getting stronger-I was actually ENJOYING workouts!!!! At the end of the 6 week challenge it was a no brainer for me to continue as a member of Squad fitness. They changed my life for the better, and Im never going back. I can 💯 say that doing the Drop20 Challenge and joining Squad fitness was the absolute BEST decision I ever made. I still have a long way to go in my fitness journey- but with Squad fitness and the amazing coaches and friends that Ive made I know I can do it!

Six weeks completed and I feel better than ever and Im proud to say Im 20 pounds lighter!!! Im happy with my results, not to mention my blood pressure has dropped to a healthy level. Ive had a amazing time and enjoyed the friendships made through the process. The squad team provided a friendly and professional environment. Although the training was tough and strenuous at times and I didnt believe I could do it at first by the way, we all managed to push through and get it done. Thanks to an amazing team. I couldnt have done it without you. 💕

The Drop 20 challenge at Squad Fitness is an awesome program! After contemplating and talking about working out for probably a year, I happened to see a couple of friends on FB that had completed the challenge. I read a lot of reviews looking for something to make me more comfortable with taking on the challenge myself. After seeing several people in my age range (Im 52) I thought, if they can do it, so can I. Im not gonna lie, the first workout was really tough! But the next one was not quite as bad. Its amazing how quickly your body can change and improve. I had no endurance in the beginning but was completing the maximum effort by the end of the challenge. One of the best things about the program is that everyone is in it together. We were all eating the same foods, sharing recipe ideas, figuring out the exercises and encouraging one another. The trainers were all awesome! Josh, Aidan, Brandon and Heather kept us challenged with every workout. Not one was repeated, so you never get bored with the same old things. I highly recommend the Drop 20 Challenge to anyone who wants to get in shape. I actually lost 10 pounds, but am very happy with my results! My main goal was to get in shape and I have definitely improved my body! I am happy to say Im now a Squad Fitness member and will be working out for a long time to come. If I can do it, so can you!

I started the challenge after a suggestions from one of my colleagues. I invited my husband to participate as well. When I began I didnt think I could keep up or complete the exercises as demonstrated. But you quickly learn that you can do more than you think if you work hard. The trainers were fun and kept the program interesting. The routines were different each day and sometimes changed during the class depending on the participation of the group to ensure you were engaged. Great program, although the menu is very limited. Youll retrain your mind to eat to live and not live to eat.

I started going to Squad Fitness because of the Drop 20 Challenge. I had no idea how much Squad would actually change my life until reflecting back and seeing post challenge the impact that it has had on me. When I began working out at Squad I was self conscious, weak, and really didnt have much confidence. Now, 6 weeks later, I am more healthy, confident, strong, and secure in who I am called to be. I HIGHLY recommend the visiting Squad Fitness because it will change your life. I have fallen in love with taking care of my body and becoming a better version of myself because of the staff at Squad. I have become an athlete, and now Squad for life!

Top notch team with Heather and Zach. Its a must do challenge. This 6 weeks Challenge has changed my life! It has given me a better quality of life. My things dont hurt so bad anymore. It has given me strength, mobility, and flexability back. The program is worth every blood, sweat and tears. I would recommend this program to anyone. I saw people of all shapes and sizes doing this challenge. It is designed to fit any person no matter what physical challenges they face. Every workout is different. You never get the same workout ever. The diet is very easy to follow. I have to say my life is on a better path than 6 weeks ago. 23.2 lbs lost!

I have loved my experience with Squad Fitness. I started with the drop 20 challenge and completed it successfully and now plan to continue my fitness journey at Squad. I love the group atmosphere, with the personal trainers make sure you do the exercises correctly and having a different workout plan every day.

I lost 23.6lbs thanks to Squad Fitness and I am now a member at Squad! I hope to lose 40 to 50 more lbs with the help of squad! I believe this program works and I would recommend it to anyone looking to lose weight! It takes hard work and dedication to the meal plan but its the best decision I have ever made. I feel so much better and I look forward to losing more weight! They have multiple times to go workout. Great trainers and great people to workout with. Thank you to the team at squad! You can lose weight too with the help of squad!

Well the challenge is over for the Patterson crew. Kim and I both fell short of our weight, unfortunately. I lost 23.4 lbs. and Kim lost 9.6 lbs. This was truly a challenge for us as we both went from eating out every meal to the strict diet that this challenge contains. However, the workouts were fun and challenging as well. Heather, Aiden, and Josh really made the workouts fun with their motivation and knowledge of all the exercises! This has been very rewarding to Kim and I for our quest to become healthy and fit. Squad gets 5* from us!! Also, I would recommend this challenge to anyone looking to jump start their fitness goals!

There is so much I could say about Squad Fitness Gardendale and the Drop 20 Challenge, but Ill sum it up by saying....AWESOME!! Even though I didnt lose 20lbs, I am so proud of myself for sticking to the challenge and pushing myself outside of my comfort zone. The atmosphere at Squad is unbelievably motivating!! The trainers work with you at your current fitness level, yet push you to be better and stronger during each workout. The challenge is over, but Im continuing my journey with squad and looking forward to my continued progress and results! Ive lost a few pounds (7.4lbs), lots of inches (particularly in my waist), I feel a difference in the fit of my clothes, Ive been pretty consistent with drinking a gallon of water per day which has caused my skin to be much clearer, and I just feel much better and healthier overall! All these changes are a result of my journey at Squad! The classes are fast-paced and high intensity to keep you focused and motivated. Im really looking forward to my Squad membership! I highly recommend them!

I was nervous about signing up for this. It’s been almost 2 years since I’ve been in a gym and 4 years since I actually went consistently. I needed a challenge. I needed motivation. I came in scared, intimidated, and out of shape, but knowing I had to do something. The meal plan is plain and simply laid out for you. The coaches are encouraging, yet challenge you to go stronger. The agreement of having to go a certain number of times each week was accountability. I feel better than I have in a while. And I lost 23lbs during the challenge!! Yes this challenge is over, but this is just the beginning. God has been telling me for a while to get my health in order. This is a great start, but now, to continue...

I was never someone who worked out or took my fitness seriously, but the potential for free personal training got me intrigued. It turned out to be exactly what I needed and it changed my life. I made huge progress in a short amount of time without killing myself at the gym everyday or starving. It was hard but doable. Soon I started craving going to the gym and feeling so proud of myself once I left drenched in sweat. The trainers were all great, friendly, and motivating. They paid close attention to every challenger, I dont even know how they do that! I made friends that all encouraged me and we pushed each other to succeed. I love this Squad and Im looking forward to starting there as a member to continue my fitness goals! The only negative thing I can say is that if youre not really close to your goal by week 5 you have to go on a very strict diet that had me feeling terrible. However it was doable and it did work. I lost 24.8 lbs. in 6 weeks and completely changed my mind and body. I would recommend this challenge to anyone with 20 lbs or more to lose regardless of age or fitness level.

It is definitely worth every penny. I lost 22.4 LBS. The workouts are challenging but the results are worth the effort. I am in the best shape I have been since highschool. Its fast pace no nonsense cardiovascular and strength training. You wont regret it.

I just completed the 6 week challenge. While I didnt lose the 20 lbs, I really enjoyed my experience. The trainers were so encouraging and pushed me to do my best!! I plan to become a member and continue improving my health.

If you are looking to lose weight and get your body in shape, this is definitely the place to go. Squad Fitness is an amazing gym full of amazing people and coaches. The coaches will motivate you and push you to reach whatever goal you have. This was an incredible experience and I would recommend this gym to anyone who is serious about losing weight. The group atmosphere and being put through a planned workout was perfect for me. Squad was the start of a new lifestyle for me and I couldnt have picked a better place to begin this new journey!! #SquadUp

I would absolutely recommend the Drop 20 Challenge that Squad fitness offers to any and everyone! This is a program that can be easily modified for all ages! I have had such success with it...I’m always skeptical of weight loss programs, but drop 20 has never disappointed me, if you put in the work you will succeed! For me being held accountable and setting small goals has proved helpful for me, all of which the challenge provides. The manager at Gardendale and the trainers are top notch! Always there to help modify a move for those who have issues and always there to motivate in a non-pushy way! Also, the people who are regular squad members and the other challengers are always, always, always friendly! And you don’t ever have to worry about judgment! Everyone there is there for one thing, and that’s to be a better version of themself! All around great gym family to be a part of! Thank you Squad fitness for all you do!

I loved the 6 week drop 20 challenge so much!! I drove from jasper 4xs a week and it was well worth it. I wish they would open one in Jasper. The trainers are awesome. It becomes as if we are one huge family. I got attached to my trainers and challenge partners. Everyone was so supportive and helped me stay motivated throughout the experience. I absolutely loved it. I am looking forward to coming back in January so my sister can experience everything that I have.

Best gym around for group fitness! The trainers are great and the atmosphere is wonderful. No matter if youve never stepped in a gym or if youve farther along on your fitness journey you will fit right in and be challenged to do your personal best!

When I first signed up I was a little intimidated. I had never really worked out a day in my life and I had horrible eating habits. The coaches take time to explain everything to you and are always there if you have any questions. They are always up beat and encouraging. They seem like they really care about each person who is there. I love that when the work outs get tough they are right there pushing you on. Another awesome thing about doing the challenge is the people you will meet. I got to meet some really great people and it made going to the gym so much more fun to know that I would see someone I know every time. The weekly weigh ins are an awesome way to stay accountable and you get to see how your hard work is paying off.

Great, workout this morning! Thanks Brandon for the encouragement from the beginning and all the way to the end.

Deciding to take the Drop 20 challenge was an easy one for me. I had seen other friend’s results and wanted to get in on it! Those six weeks flew by for me. It was not easy, but it is definitely worth it. All of the trainers I met have been super wonderful and helped me when I may need modifications for certain moves or to correct me when I do something wrong. I easily haven’t worked out in two years or so before this and it’s so new for me to actually enjoy working out. I did not lose 20 pounds but I did lose 11.3 pounds and it is still an ongoing process. I’m so glad to say I’m joining Squad as a member and making them a permanent part of my lifestyle change!

When I started squads “drop 20” I had never stuck to a diet or even came close to finishing one, but thanks to the amazing staff here I was able to drop over 21 lbs in 6 weeks. Not only did they help me get some weight off but they helped me build back confidence and feel so much better about myself. The past 6 weeks have been challenging, it’s not easy, but if I can do it anyone can do it. If you think that you’ll starve while doing this diet and that’s what is going to hold you back then you are mistaken - some days you’ll actually feel so full you don’t even want to eat your last snack. It may not be food you want but it doesn’t have to be horrible plus they give you some awesome recipes. I made some precious friends along the way, that always held me accountable and kept me encouraged. All the trainers truly WANT you to succeed! If you just make the choice to work hard and eat clean YOU WILL see results. I highly recommended anyone who wants to lose weight, feel better or live a healthy lifestyle to join squad. Even with the challenge ending I’ll be joining squad fitness as a member because it’s that addicting and life changing!

Well let me start by saying if you truly want to lose weight, then Squad Fitness is the place for you. I was a little skeptical at first myself wondering if I would really lose weight but I did!! The meal plans and workouts were great. Youll actually learn to eat healthier and feel better physically. The coaches there really work with you and give you that one on one time. Doing this challenge is the best decision I could have ever made.

I cant believe it is possible to have fun while working out but during Squad Fitnesss 6 week challenge I had fun and lost 20.6lbs. It is not the same old boring work out routine that everyone is used to. It keeps you moving and burns fat. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get in shape.

There are so many things I love about Squad Fitness! The trainers are awesome, so helpful & motivating! The locations & class hours are convenient for any crazy work/life schedule. The workouts push you no matter what fitness level you may be at & can be modified based on any physical struggle you may have. In the short 6 week period i have been there, i have seen my body transform & cant wait to see where Ill be in the next 6 weeks. If youre ready to break up the monotonous gym atmosphere & routines, this is the place for you, always a different challenging work out with a squad to cheer you on always!

I highly recommend this place. The coaches are the bomb! They set up different activities and make the workouts fun.

I did not know what I was getting myself involved with when I agreed to take the challenge. On the day of the meeting, all I knew is I was tired and ready for a change. They promise if you do your part and follow the rules, then they will do theirs and help you get the results you want. Man, was I in for a treat! Every step of this program will challenge you! Mentally, physically, emotionally, and (for me personally) spiritually! Blood, sweat, and tears will not know what hit them when you find your groove during the challenge. To actually see the results week after week is what kept me pushing on. Do not let the fear of failure keep you from becoming a better you! Go to the orientation, follow the plan, and transform your life!!

Hi it’s Kristy! I went to Squad Fitness not really knowing what to expect. I was very impressed with the motivation I received from the coaches and did not feel pressured or intimidated. I love that everyone I work out with are just like me- moms, dads, grandparents- all just trying to live a healthier life. I started with the 6 week challenge and it was just the beginning I needed to start my weightloss. I lost 21.2lbs in 6 weeks. If you want a fun, non intimidating environment, I recommend you give Squad Fitness a try. Grab a friend and commit together!! You will not regret your decision!

I just completed my second round of the 6 week challenge and if Im crazy enough to do it twice you know it must be worth it! The trainers are always great and are awesome at pushing you to do your best each time. Six weeks ago I felt stuck in my workout routine and was tired of doing the same thing each day. They make each workout so different and change it up so often I never got bored. Its way more fun to workout here plus there is so much accountability! I have met a lot of awesome people and have learned a lot this go around. Cant wait for the next workout 💪

The Drop 20 challenge is one of the best discussions I have made on my weight loss journey. I lost 19.8 pounds on the challenge and 30 pounds since January. I never thought I would be able to do something that this, but I am so glad I have made this lifestyle change. Diet and exercise. I feel so good about myself that I am going to wear a two piece for the first time (I have been smaller before but never felt this comfortable with my body.) I LOVE Squad Fitness and all the new friends I have made. Thank you Heather, Aidan, Brandon, and Romen.

Wow! My 6 weeks in the Drop 20 Challenge at Gardendale flew by and so did the pounds! I have lost 22.6 pounds and I am so proud of myself! The challenge is difficult, but if you plan ahead and follow the instructions you will be successful! The workouts are challenging, but the instructors and members at the gym are super helpful and very encouraging. There are classes at multiple times everyday, so you can make it work with almost any schedule. And I promise, its never boring! The workouts are new each day to push you! Get started now, you will not regret it!

I am thankfull to have found this challenge. It has changed my life. I have tried many other fad diets, gym memberships and nothing has quite worked for me like this. I lost 21.8lbs in only 6 weeks. They have laid it all out for you. Workouts, healthy diet. At first I thought I was going without all these foods I loved them I realized they were actually robbing me of all my energy. I was not eating for success. The trainers are excellent. They are knowledgeable, encouraging, motivating, fit, and even have a sense of humor at times. The people you meet during this can become a great strength to the program too. They also have so many different times to work out that you can got into any schedule. If you are on the fence about joining, just do it. You will not regret your decision.

Squad fitness is a unique gym. The instructors there truly care about you and your health and fitness. They are very motivating and help you achieve the goals you set for yourself.

The Drop 20 Challenge literally CHANGED my life! Not only did I lose over 20 pounds in six weeks, I also build endurance and got my self confidence back! I recommend this program to anyone who lacks the commitment they need to stick with something and see it through to the end! I would always diet two or three days and then just say “I’m done!” This program holds you accountable! Awesome trainers who are with you every workout! If you are willing to put in the work, you will see the 20 pounds go in 6 weeks! They tell you what to eat and how much to work out...if something isn’t working the way it should for you, they make the adjustment....it’s that simple! Anyone old or young, heavy or those who just have a little extra weight....this is what you’ve been waiting for! It’s a judgement free zone! I never once felt out of place as a beginner! I cannot say enough about this program! Visit their Facebook page to sign up for the next challenge!

Here is my post challenge review.I never thought I was in good enough shape to work out 4 days a week. Turns out I was wrong. Putting the deposit down was actually great because it made me force myself to go 4 days a week and follow the meal plan too. Honestly without the deposit I would have never had the results I had. I was truly amazed that I was able to go workout 4 days a week and do it to that level of intensity. The trainers, Heather and Zack, are truly amazing people. It was truly a pleasure to be around them. I also met a lot of amazing people and we worked out as team and became friends along the way. This experience went much much better than I ever thought it could have and thats all because of Zack and Heather and all the other amazing challengers giving it their all every week. I learned self control with my eating following the meal plan they give you and that I actually do have time to exercised 4-5 times per week. Also my stamina increased so fast. I went from a couch potato to running 3 - 3.5 miles in 3 weeks. I ran one day week and did the challenge 4 days a week just to make sure I made my goal and got my deposit back. I lost 25 pounds in my 6 week challenge and enjoyed myself while I was doing it.

I did the drop 20 challenge and it was definitely a challenge for me! I kept telling myself it’s only six weeks you can do it but boy it was tough! I can promise everyone reading that this is and will be one of the best workouts you’ve ever done. I’ve really learned a lot about fitness and diet and I would recommend Squad Fitness Gardendale to everyone! I’ve never felt stronger or looked better!

First day at Squad Fitness I knew I wasnt physically ready for it but I was mentally ready. The first week was rough. I was sore after the second day. It didnt get better as the week went along.It was also hard to get used to eating every 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Finally the weekend and 2 days rest.All of the hard work paid off. I lost 14.8 pounds my first week. That the motivation I needed to complete the challenge.Every week the trainers threw in a different exercise to work on a different muscle group. That was the best part to me, I didnt get bored with the same ole exercise week after week.All the trainers were very knowledgeable and kept us motivated.I ended the challenge with a total weight loss of 36.6 lbs.I highly recommend the Squad Fitness Challenge.

I joined the challenge to push myself and to make my body stronger. I am 57 years young that broke her back so I was a little nervous and needed to strengthen my back. Instructors modified my exercises when needed. Well this whole experience has been awesome from the trainers to the workouts. The instructors helped, pushed and encouraged me at every workout. I didnt meet the goal but I feel great. If you are thinking about joining a gym and or doing a challenge do join Squad Fitness! A big thanks to Aidan!! All the instructors are great but I spent most of workouts with him and he is AWESOME!!

I made it!!!!!! Lost 28 pounds in 6 weeks. Ive tried many different workouts and diets over the years and ultimately could never lose much weight or keep off the weight I did lose. The Camp Challenge changed all that. The coaches hold you accountable and encourage you and the other challengers/members encourage you as well. Its not easy but most things in life that are worth having arent easy! I want to thank Gerald, Brandon, Heather and Romen for pushing all of us through this program. No way I could have done this on my own. I highly recommend taking the 20 pound challenge here at Squad Fitness. You wont regret it!

Im so glad that I took the drop 20 challenge! The staff was very up front and honest with us but, told us that if we followed the damn instructions and stay committed wed see results. They were right because I lost 40 pounds in six weeks all because they worked with and motivated me each day and gave me examples of the proper meals to eat. Their efforts have given me a new lifestyle and taught me how to eat and exercise properly and I will continue to apply what Ive learned to each day I am allowed to awake and take a breath. My squad mates were amazing and encouraging and we all had each others back and pushed one another when it was needed. The whole experience was one to remember and I would definitely recommend the Squad Fitness Drop 20 Program to anyone whos serious about losing weight but just cant seem to find the right motivation to do it.

If youre thinking you want to loose some weight, u need to try squad fitness! I just finished the 6 week challenge and lost 25 lbs! I feel better all the way around! I was doubtful in the beginning but I committed to it and did what they told me to do and every week when we weighed in the lbs were just dropping!! The environment in the gym was so comfortable! I didnt have to starve myself like most diets Ive tried either! Doin this challenge was the most rewarding thing I have done for myself in a long time! I absolutely would recommend squad fitness to anyone and be willing to promise if u follow the damn instructions they give, u will be successful!

Squad Fitness has changed my life!! Before I started the 6 week challenge, I was tired, and miserable with myself and my body. I constantly made excuses for why I couldn’t go to the gym, and why I could never make the challenge work for me. One day I had enough and I decided to do the 6 week challenge and it has been the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. In just 6 weeks, I’ve lost pounds, inches, and I’ve gained my confidence back. I no longer have the I can’t do it attitude! I owe all of this to squad fitness and the wonderful staff that pushes you to do your best each time you walk in those gym doors. If you’re looking for a fun, up beat program, please join Squad!

When you walk in and sign up you might be a little intimidated, but this place is the Bomb!!! The trainers Heather Gooch and Aidan Robb are beyond amazing and supportive. They will push you past your comfort zone and you will be amazed with the results. Also, if there are things your body is just not ready for, they have a remedy for that too. Wherever your coming from and wherever your wanting to get to, they have a successful plan to get you there. The people you work out with are very helpful and understanding. I’ve never went and felt like I was working out alone, and you won’t either.

The drop 20 challenge was truly life changing for me! If you would’ve asked me a few months ago if I would be eating healthy and going to the gym and actually liking it I would’ve said you were crazy. I was the world’s worst about staying on a diet and I did not exercise at all. After pushing myself to do this challenge I can’t imagine not working out anymore or eating all the junk I used to on a daily basis. The people at squad truly care about you and encourage you to be the best that you can possibly be. They set a meal plan for you (it is strict but if I can do it anybody can do it) and different workouts everyday that if you stick to it you will be sure to lose the weight and feel so much better! Doing this challenge has been one of the best decisions I could have ever made for myself!

What can I say about Squad Fitness? I started with them for the Drop 20 Challenge. Sometimes I laughed, sometimes I cried, sometimes I got yelled at (with love, of course). It was a truly amazing experience. I loved it from day one even though I struggled the whole six weeks. I was always last and even on my final week of exercise, I almost quit because I was last again. Then there are the moments, when you realize that you are doing something that you couldn’t do when you started and that is an amazing feeling. The crew at Gardendale really care. I couldn’t tell you how many times the trainers came and sat down beside me and gave me heart to heart pep talks. They let me know that it is ok and all you have to do is push to be the best you can be. I lost my 23.2 lbs and would never have made it even halfway through if it wasn’t for the support of the trainers and all the new friends I made. I would highly recommend Squad Fitness to anyone looking for a fun way to workout and lose weight!!

The drop 20 challenge helped me drop 28lbs in six weeks. During orientation the booklet that was provided to me had all the information about everything I would need to know about in the six week period. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. The trainors are helpful and make working out fun. The program has helped me become a healthier me, and has helped me gain confidence back. Its such a friendly place to work out. After my first workout I realized Squad Fitness was different than any other gym that I had been a member of, you gain a gym family and get encouragement from everyone not just the trainers but members and challengers also. Its a great place that just makes you feel welcome. I am also pleased to say that I have no more check ins on Facebook.

I am always up for a little challenge but when My sister asked me to join Squad Fitness Drop 20 Challenge, I was a tad scared! I can’t even lie. I knew I could do it but I thought I may die during the workouts. Good news, I did NOT die! The workouts are definitely challenging but I enjoyed them. In 6 weeks I dropped 25.2 pounds. Thank you Squad Staff for holding me accountable, encouraging me to keep pushing forward, and helping me reach my goal💪🏼 I definitely look forward to working out at Squad in the future.“If it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you!”

The drop 20 Challenge was such a great and awesome experience. When I first signed up, I was very skeptical and not sure if I could do it. But through the hard work, dedication, and encouraging words from my trainers I was able to complete the challenge with 21.4 lbs loss. I followed the darn instructions (FTDI), read my squad bible, drunk my gallon of water a day, and completed each workout regardless of how hard they were (and they were intense) But I stayed the course even when I got discouraged. The trainers are great and very motivating. I absolutely love squad and would recommend anyone who is serious about their health and weight loss to try Squad Fitness.

As a 44 year old man,life and your body starts transitioning into the next phase in life.In most cases this means bad eating habits along with weight gain.Until now this process was virtually unstoppable,SQUAD FITNESS has changed that process,and offers options to change the hands of time.SQUAD FITNESS IS not only the solution to regain physical control of your life,but also gives you the mental strength to continue a healthy lifestyle.My story is simple,my 2017 New Years resolution was to shed a few pounds because I felt that I was a little out of shape.SQUAD FITNESS was recommended to me by a friend with only positive reviews.I answered the challenge,and not only was I out of shape,I weighed 205 POUNDS!!!!! At 58 ,I was very disappointed.Heather and the staff encouraged me everyday to push toward my 25 lb goal.Not only did I meet the 25 lb goal,I lost a total of 31 lbs in 6weeks!!!!!!! I strongly recommend SQUAD FITNESS if you are looking for a total lifestyle change.By fam,the best decision of my life.

Well the challenge is over. It’s been a life changing 6 weeks that I will continue with my Squad members!! Down 10.6 lbs and 9.75 total inches Many thanks to Aidan Robb and Heather Anderson Gooch for all the encouragement!! #squadstrong✊🏼 I would recommend this to anyone that wants to make a permanent lifestyle change!! I am definitely staying with the Squad family!!

I tell you that there are so many things I can say about Squad Fitness. They have the best trainers that will push you out of your comfort zone. You will be doing things that you never image you could do.First of all I did the drop 20 when Romen first open up the building in Gardendale and I lost 17 pounds back then. I had been going back and forth about doing it again and I tell you it has been the best choice that I decided to make. I had not stop working out, but I also had not lost any weight. If you are truly looking to feel better, tone your whole body and lose weight you better get in on the next challenge which start on May 23rd. Do not put it off I promise you, you will not regret it.

Firm Body Bootcamp is helping me to become fit once again. My husband has seen the changes. I am becoming toned and have WAY more energy than I did in the past. He now is joining the bootcamp experience. I am on my way to obtaining my weight loss goal.

I just completed the drop 20 challenge at squad fitness in gardendale al. I lost 21.4 lbs. I can not say enough good things about this program. The trainers at squad are very qualified and encouraging. The diet plan is simple. The level of workouts and equipment is excellent. This program does require effort, but if you are dedicated and motivated to truly make a difference in your health and fitness the goals are definitely obtainable. Is it easy?? No. The diet is strict and the workouts are hard. Is it worth it? Most definitely. The program is very honest up front that its hard but worth the effort. I have dropped 2 pants sizes during the course of the 6 week challenge. Friends and family can noticeably see a big difference in a relatively short amount of time. I have received numerous compliments and encouragement along the way. The self confidence I have gained is priceless. I have struggled with weight most of my life and I feel a permanent change after completing the challenge. I would encourage and recommend this challenge to anyone wanting to make real, serious and permanent changes in their health and lifestyle. I especially loved the friendships and bonds I formed with all the fellow challengers as well as the trainers.

Squad Fitness in Gardendale is the real deal. If you are serious about meeting fitness goals, this is the place to start. The coaches there are amazing about supporting you and encouraging you. I met goals that I never thought I would.

Doing the Drop 20 Challenge has been a lifestyle changer for me! Going into the challenge I was nervous, but after the detailed orientation I knew it was something I wanted to do. The workouts are difficult, but so worth it in the end. When you are at Squad Fitness, you have an amazing support system, whether it’s from the staff, other Challengers, or members. It’s like one big family going for the same goal. Not only do you get in some great exercise but you’re given a meal plan to follow, that will keep you energized and loosing weight, you just have to FTDI! You’ll know what that means when you join the Drop 20!

This works. Great atmosphere and awesome staff. Professional and cheerful. They make you want it and help you get it. Im doing things I havent done in 10 years. Dont stand in your own way. Take the steps forward that you need to. Let it happen for you.Ive experienced some great events in my life and this challenge is one of them. To say that its easy would be a lie. Nothing in life that is worth anything is easy.After 1 week, I could walk and move better. 2 weeks and I could bend down and tie my shoes without getting light headed. Week 3 i can really see that i can push it and get more than i think i can. Week 4 and Ive already exceeded what I thought I could do as far as cardio and flexibility. Week 5 and my back is no longer locking up when I do anything bent over. Week 6 and I hit the gym for 9 work outs cause why not. Feed the beast.

I am now 6 weeks out and have finished my Drop 20 challenge!! I lost 14.2 pounds and feel amazing!!! The workouts have been hard but from the support of my friends and family has made it a little easier! Workouts are never the same which has been the most enjoyable part of Squad! Going with my friend Kristy has been the best part too....having a partner to talk to about food, struggles, pain, and weight loss is a must!!! I can’t say enough about every instructor at Squad!! I love everyone of them and couldn’t say enough about each one!! They truly have made workouts hard but always have helped me push through to get stronger and leaner!! I would highly recommend this for anyone that has struggled with weight loss and feeling tired! I have come completely off my Menopause meds and Nexium! I don’t take any meds any longer!! What a difference this has made in my life!!

Starting off I was skeptical of this challenge. It just seemed like a fad to me. Despite my skepticism I signed up with my parents and gave it a shot. One week went by and I dropped five pounds, second week another six, this pattern went on for 6 weeks. Squad fitness/Camp Challenge has made me a believer! A believer who is down twenty nine pounds in six weeks I might add!Here is your warning! This is not called a “challenge” for nothing. It’s hard. Very hard. That being said, as long as you “FTDI” (follow the dang instructions) it is do-able. The trainers are excellent and the atmosphere is fun and welcoming. In fact I loved it so much that I’m joining the gym! If you need a jumpstart to losing weight or are trying to get into better shape, this is for you! Take it from a person who went from being a skeptic to a supporter.

I am so glad I joined the challenge at Squad Fitness Gardendale. I tend to be a skeptic but it didnt take long to realize they want you to succeed to meet your goals. I was able to lose the 20 pounds in 6 weeks and I intend to join and continue with weight loss goals.

Squad Fitness is not your typical gym. Its not crossfit and a cardio location but more of a hybrid with both. This fitness center coached and encourage to get out of my comfort zones with the workouts and really show my what I am made of as far as trying my best instead of just trying to do the minimum. I started off with the The Camp Challenge. Gerald and Heather where highly motivating and would not let me quit, no matter how bad I wanted to cause they knew I had more left in me. The team environment helped me to not be bored with my workouts but enticing me to be competitive against them. People of all shapes and sized attend this place. The Camp Challenge is one of the best decisions Ive ever made.....was it tough...yes! Would I do it again....in a heartbeat. I am so looking forward to this place helping me complete my fitness goals.

Choosing to take on the Drop 20 challenge was one of the best decisions I have ever made! Squad Fitness is a game changer in my weight loss and fitness journey. The workouts are full body workouts and something different everyday. But the best part of Squad is the group of trainers. They work with you to personalize your diet, schedule, and workouts. I am recovering a knee injury and they were able to modify my workouts so that I could not only workout safely, but in a way to help strengthen my knee back up. It’s called a challenge for a reason; it isn’t easy but if you FTDI then you will reach your goal. Excited to say that I lost 21.6 and joined Squad as a member!

To say that The Drop 20 Challenge in Gardendale has changed my life is an understatement! I cannot thank them enough for transforming me into a new person. I ate and drank so badly and I had put on so much weight after high school. I never thought I would have lost as much as I have. But thanks to our awesome trainers, I did! They push you and motivate you to be the best you can be and they give you a diet plan to follow! It was nothing short of amazing! I cannot thank Squad Fitness in Gardendale enough for all of their support and motivation in making me the woman I am today! I am much more happy and healthy and I have so much more confidence in myself! I highly recommend Squad Fitness in Gardendale to anyone who is looking to better their lives. I LOVE SQUAD FITNESS!! 💜💪🏻😎

Me and my husband decided to do the challenge together in order to get back on track with our fitness goals. We both made the challenge and go great results. The fitness coaches were amazing and pushed us further than we wanted to go. They saw so much potential in us that we begin to realize what they were seeing. We really struggled the first three weeks, but with very hard work and determination we made our goals and passed them. I loved the group atmosphere but the membership is just very pricey. So we wont be continuing but I would definitely recommend this program to anyone in need of that extra push. Rock and Darrell will surely make sure you get it done. I still HATE SALLY and when I meet her Im going to use some of those kick boxing moves on her for all the pain she put us through. But we made it !!! All we have to always remember is to never give up, cause what we think is impossible may not be!

Squad fitness is a wonderful community of people. It is much more than a gym. It is a place you can go to workout no matter what level you are at. If you are just starting out or if you have been working out for years this is the place for you! There is never any judgment from the trainers or the others there working out. The trainers will push you to do things you didnt think you could do! I participated in the six week challenge and I did things and pushed myself in ways i never thought I could. If you are considering a gym to go to you will not regret choosing squad fitness!

I took the 20lbs and 42 days challenge. The team at Squad gave us a list of what to eat, I went to 4 workouts a week and the weight came off! I thought I would starve, but sticking to the plan, I was rarely hungry. I use to get migraines when I worked out hard, but didnt have the first one while sticking to their plan. I was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere at Squad. Heather and Romen are ready to encourage and guide you during your workouts. I enjoyed the workouts and would highly recommend this challenge and this gym to anyone of any size!

22 pounds gone and still going! I could not have done it without squad fitness and there 6 week challenge. This program gave me the push I needed towards eating clean and working out. After the first week I thought there was no way I would make it through the work outs were intense and I was starved😖 but with the help of the trainers I made it. They were always there to push me the extra mile. By week four I felt invincible 💪🏻and found that the work outs ,while still challenging, didnt make me want to hurl 🤒. I feel amazing and will keep using everything I learned during my challenge to reach my goals. 😎If you are looking for a way to get out of a fitness rut I suggest going to squad fitness and asking them about the camp challenge. You wont be disappointed! 😍

Squad Fitness has made a huge impact on me and I LOVE it!! If you FTDI, you have NO choice but to lose weight/inches and see the results you want.When I started the drop 20 challenge I was nervous because I hated going to a gym. I never knew what to do. There was no one there to help me, guide me, or encourage me. I felt lost and out of place esp looking around and seeing everyone on a machine or lifting weights looking like they knew what they were doing. Squad Fitness is the exact opposite. There is ALWAYS someone there to encourage you, push you, and support you when its needed. Coaches and members always push you when you need it the most. Even if its just a come on, you got this its a great push to have. I would have given up without the support because I used to be a wimp!! I have made some wonderful friends though squad. I cant thank heather, josh, and Aidan enough because they always push you and they WANT to see you do good. I was so excited when the 6 weeks was wrapping up because I could tell a change in myself- mentally and physically. If it wasnt for Squad, there is no telling where I would be. Squad is the reason Im bettering myself and my #RoadToABetterMe continues. THANK YOU SQUAD!!

On April 27, 2017 I tried to wear some pants that I could not button. At that moment I decided I was over being chuncky and out of shape! I made the call, talked with Heather, went to orientation on Saturday and started the Challenge on Monday, May 1. The Challenge was not just physically hard but emotionally and mentally challenging! This Challenge is not just about the number on the scales but about the way you feel in your skin! I feel FANTASTIC. Dont get me wrong, I still have work to do and always will. Being in shape doesnt come easy. It takes dedication! Squad Fitness Gardendale has the best group of trainers and pushed me beyond where I thought I could go. This not only about what I lost (22 lbs.) but more about what I gained, strength, motivation, dedication, determination, patience, and GREAT FRIENDS!!!! If you are looking for a jump start in your weight loss and a getting in shape, dont wait another day! Call them and make a start to a newer, skinnier, healthier you!!! You will not regret it.
