Awesome gym!
Great gym, awesome workouts!
Fantastic place to get an ACTUAL workout in. I tried the whole bodybuilding type workout schedule before trying CrossFit. It got to it where it bored me to tears and I never felt like I just got through working out. I started the high intensity CrossFit training and it was a life changing experience.

Fantastic place to get an ACTUAL workout in. I tried the whole bodybuilding type workout schedule before trying CrossFit. It got to it where it bored me to tears and I never felt like I just got through working out. I started the high intensity CrossFit training and it was a life changing experience. All of the workouts are adaptable to any type of fitness level and you will NEVER find yourself doing the same thing all the time. There are so many different combinations of workouts you will find yourself doing. I love not knowing what I will be doing the next day. Not only can you work on building the body you want, but you can also get the cardiovascular aspect of fitness as well and itβs actually FUN! Itβs not just the same old boring treadmill workout that people call Cardio. You will also find a gym family that all support each other and want you to reach your life changing goals. All it takes is one trip into the gym and a positive mindset and you will be hooked! Less
Great family environment!
Love the community, love the workout and love the coaches!
Awesome people and awesome workouts! Itβs not just a gym but a community.

Excellent coaches and workout family. You can get started at any fitness level and be surrounded by an encouraging group of people.
Love Love Love Benchmark Fitness! Great members, awesome coaches, and a truly wonderful gym!!!
Great place to workout , get healthy or just hang out with good people. Coaches are all wonderful and encouraging
Great workouts and friendly staff!!
Excellent gym and great staff; Iβve visited a couple of times for their CrossFit and my daughter and I have participated in their Memorial Day Murph event. Very knowledgeable staff and encouraging athletes!

Benchmark fitness is truly the best box in Birmingham! The coaches genuinely invest in you and your health. The members are so welcoming, and fun. You will feel like family the first moment you walk in the door. Give them a shot!
Best Crossfit fitness facility around. The teachers, classes and team members are all a fantastic experience!!
Great atmosphere and friendly competition. #NickSucks
Best gym ever! The coaches are great and knowledgeable!
More like a family full of support than a gym! Fantastic atmosphere where you go from the basics to competitions.
I went from hating the gym to loving the gym. Best coaches, best members, best gym in Birmingham. Come check it out!
Iβve spent the last year and a half doing various exercise programs starting with Orange Theory, Boot Camps, etc. . I always told myself Iβd NEVER do CrossFit- I wanted to exercise, not a cult. Well, about two weeks ago I walked in to Benchmark Fitness/Yellowhammer Crossfitand fell in love. When I left, folks I didnβt even know were sending me βwelcome to the fam messagesβ.

Iβve spent the last year and a half doing various exercise programs starting with Orange Theory, Boot Camps, etc. . I always told myself Iβd NEVER do CrossFit- I wanted to exercise, not a cult. Well, about two weeks ago I walked in to Benchmark Fitness/Yellowhammer Crossfitand fell in love. When I left, folks I didnβt even know were sending me βwelcome to the fam messagesβ. I was scared of what I didnβt know, or that I would fail, so I made excuses to not go. Itβs most definitely not a cult; Itβs a family. Itβs people motivated to be the best they can be and who encourage others to be the best they can be. I joined CrossFit and I may finish last, and nearly puke, but I finish. When you think you canβt do one more second of the WOD, youβll hear someone, and not just the fabulous coaches, yelling βgo, you got itβ! And if for one second, you question yourself-they make couch to crossfit reailty. It wont be easy, but it'll be th best decision ever! Iβve found my new workout home and next month when I turn 40, Iβm gonna be able to say Iβm the nest shape of my life! Brandon Booth & Nick Daccardi yall, the facility and our CF fam rocks. I truly can't recommend this place enough! Less
Best gym around. Best coaches around.
Great place for an amazing exercise experience!!

It has become my happy place πππΌπ
Great gym!
Excellent and professional staff clean atmosphere more like family.

Iβve managed several gyms in the Birmingham area and trained in nearly all of them from CrossFit boxes to corporate style facilities. As a trainer of nearly 8 years I look for very specific qualities in a facility and Helena Health Club has by far WAY superseded every other gym in the area! Here are the amenities I noticed that I must brag on: -Staffed kids club with 2 child care attendants always present that are incredibly friendly, large room filled with quality toys that are cleaned thoroughly each night. -Friendly staff that always greets with a smile -Ample cardio, treadmills, ellipticals, rower and even a Jacobs ladder! -Large group fitness room filled with everything needed for the classes provided, also led by a great and knowledgeable instructor. -Huge workout floor filled with all resistance training machines, both free weight and selectorized machines. -Surprisingly large men and womenβs locker rooms. -Functional fitness area stocked with all your HIIT needs from kettlebells, bumper plates, battle ropes, plyoboxes, etc! This is by far dollar for dollar the best facility in our area, if you are on the fence about where to go, I highly encourage you to stop by and take a tour or even a complimentary 2-day pass. You wonβt be disappointed! Less
Have been a member since it opened! I absolutely love the environment and the people. The classes are wonderful and motivational! Thanks for the support over the last 3 years
I just joined this week and I am already loving this place, the staff are amazing and the classes they offer are great! So great to have a great gym so close to home!!
Today was my first time at Helen health club and I loved it. The atmosphere was great and it wasn't crowded. Can't wait for my next workout.
I love this place! I took my first weights class. It was awesome!! I learned so much! I was very sore after it for a couple of days but loved it! The teacher was great and helped us in any way we needed it.
Trainers are fantastic! Dave is the best. Rosemary is always smiling. Great equipment.
I was very hesitant to get back into the gym. I haven't been in a while and was nervous. This gym is AWESOME! I took my first ever spin class after not working out in about a year. It was a great experience and I am now, very optimistic and excited about working out!
I have worked out at gyms all over the country traveling for work and Helena Health Club is by far the cleanest, most organized gym Iβve ever been to. The staff is awesome!!
We love all of our members and if you think it's a great place to workout it's an even greater place to work!
Couldn't ask for a better gym and especially a better group of people running it!
Helena Health Club is my workout family. It's a great place to get in shape, feel good about yourself, and make some good friends.
Love this gym! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. The equipment and classes are great and my kids love the childcare. They want to go every day!
Love this gym! Perfect size. Really friendly staff. I like their selection of classes and the fact that they have child-care even though it's a fairly small gym.
Over the past few years, I have been an instructor here at Helena Health Club. I absolutely love being a part of this family-friendly owned and operated gym facility.

Great environment and childcare! Everyone is always so friendly!
Love this place. Plenty of new equipment at a great price. Glad I moved from where I was.
I love love Helena Health Club. By far the most personable gym I've ever experienced. I just started in December and look forward to working out and watching my body change weekly. They have an amazing staff of trainers and staff. What a great addition to Helena.
Great gym and great care for kids! Classes are awesome and staff takes the time to get to know you!
Being a stay at home mom I really like using the child care. I have to say that they have really impressed me. During the night shift there are mostly older children so I was a little skeptical of leaving a baby but, they have really been taking good care of her.

Being a stay at home mom I really like using the child care. I have to say that they have really impressed me. During the night shift there are mostly older children so I was a little skeptical of leaving a baby but, they have really been taking good care of her. All the kids in the night care are apparently good little helpers too. :-). I really like the staff too. They are very nice and I am always bugging them with tips and they never seem to mind giving advice. After my pregnancy I was in pretty bad shape and 2 years before I didn't do much because I had a few injuries and excersicing made it worse because the trainers didn't work with me to avoid further damage. The trainers at Helena Health Club taking a little extra time to help make sure I can still work out and do it without getting hurt really means a lot to me. Thanks guys!!! Less
One of the best gym's I've ever been a member of, they really aim to please. Holidays when most gyms are closed, Helena health club will have special hours to help out, that says so much about them. Equipment is clean and always functional. Staff are always there to help out with any needs. Walking in, you just get a good feeling about being there. Could not see myself working out anywhere else
So glad I chose this gym. Love the equipment!!!!! I always get a great workout.
Excellent hours & helpful staff! Love having a gym so close to home.
Great hometown gym. Everyone is very friendly and committed to our fitness.
Love our new gym in Helena! So close to home, so I have absolutely no excuse for not going! I'm looking forward to trying some of their many classes!
Definitely check out Helena Health Club if you are looking to get into or stay in shape!
Knowing Terry for a very long time and have had the pleasure of being part of his team for many years. Its not just a gym with a great staff, it's a family. Thats just the way he treats anyone and everyone that's walks through the door. I cant wait to come check it out. Congrats Boss!!
I love my new gym! I tried the TRX class tonight taught by Zac and it's awesome! Terry, the owner is one of the nicest gym owners I have ever met. He really has done a great job with the gym!
The best thing about Helena Health Club is that little guy Josh that works there he is hilarious. On a serious note I like small gyms; because I like getting to know people working out and I end up working out with others more, and feel more motivated.
