Highly suggested. The staff are kind, friendly and very helpful. They provide cleaning supplies for your in between workouts. They have extra classes and a small closed off room that has mirrors on all the walls if you wanted more of a private area to do Yoga, dance or whatever you would like. They have a tiny kid room with a tv and some toys for those with kids that do not need supervision(They dont provide childcare). They have 2 laydown face tanning beds and 1 stand up tanning bed. In the bathrooms they have the following- lockers, showers and a sauna. Also they provide a scale in the bathroom for you to use. They have hand sanitizer out in the open for you to use. They have 2 vending machines. They will have apparel put on display sometimes as well as protein shake powders ect. You can mostly find these on their website. They have an app on your phone for your entry during hours no employees are there and open 24/7. Also I love that they have a good variety of music in the background for when I forget my ear buds. If you wish to not listen to the music they play, bring your own ear buds or ear plugs. They have alot of great equipment that work properly. Did I mention they have a window to see through from the Yoga room(thats what I call it) to the childcare play room. So us mothers can workout and keep an eye on our children. I think I covered everything. But then again they offer so much. Its hard to know for sure. I pay $25 a month for all of that. Really unbeatable! They do charge a 1 time service fee of somewhere between $30-$45. I cant remember specifically how much. But other than that no surprise fees. You also can earn a free month of service by referring someone and they join and tell them you referred them.

I use both the Decatur and Hartselle locations and love both! Kept clean and in good working order. Have made many friendships over the years that help me keep at it!

Benders is where its at! clean facility , with wide range of free weights and cardio equipment! The staff is super helpful , I always see them showing people how to use the machines and answering their questions! They definitely have my business.

I live in Hartselle, and have used the Hartselle gym off and on for several years. Take my advice, and dont waste your money there! The absolute ONLY reason I used this gym was because it was convenient to my home. Amanda charges top dollar for the use of antiquated equipment, weights and tanning beds that she gets from the other gyms she closes. The equipment is ALWAYS in disrepair of varying magnitudes.....and it STAYS in disrepair! I tried the gym a few days ago, just to see if things had improved....and things were even worse than before. Each cardio machine that I got on had either one thing or another wrong with it....from not being able to incline/ decline the machine, to the earphone jacks not working, to machines taken completely out of service. The manager wasnt able to fix any of the problems either....( once I got him to put his cell phone down). I was going to try free weights, so that maybe my drive there wouldnt have been for nothing, but lo and behold, the mates to the ones i was going to use were missing! I will be making the drive to Planet fitness in Decatur. They have the nicest, cleanest facility I have ever seen in a gym with NEW updated equipment and plenty of it in GOOD working order at 1/3 the price! And they offer massage beds, chairs, and state of the art tanning beds, etc. Benders Hartselle is a damned JOKE! By the way, the 4 star review was done by an EMPLOYEE at the time, so take that for what its worth.
