When I moved to Bessemer I found Benchmark Fitness and spoke with Brandon. I’m glad I did. I love this box! Brandon, the coaches, and members are all very approachable. No need to worry about your skill level everyone will help you meet your goals. Unfortunately I am moving to California. I will miss this box and everyone there.

Pickup FitFive meals here but hours are very limited if you miss the narrow window. Did not return call about hours.
Great place to get fit! Get prepared to bring your A game bc this workout ain’t no joke!

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. All of the workouts are adaptable to any type of fitness level and you will NEVER find yourself d... More
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 it’s actually FUN! It’s 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! It’s not just a gym but a community.
It’s been about 4 years since my last review and I thought it was time to update it. A lot has happened over the last 4 years. A lot has changed over the last 4 years. The gym has changed ownership and new coaches have been hired. There’s been a remodel and complete facelift. A totally cultural change.

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; I’ve 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!
I joined Benchmark in April of 2019. I needed to make a change and knew I needed a push because my regular gym membership wasn’t motivating me. I needed a coach and I needed to work out with other people. CrossFit for the bill. In the time I’ve been here I’ve lost over 50 pounds and I feel great. The team is awesome and genuinely interested in your success. I highly recommend anybody to try it o... More

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!
I’ve spent the last year and a half doing various exercise programs starting with Orange Theory, Boot Camps, etc. . I always told myself I’d 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 didn’t even know were sending me “welcome to the fam messages”.

I’ve spent the last year and a half doing various exercise programs starting with Orange Theory, Boot Camps, etc. . I always told myself I’d 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 didn’t even know were sending me “welcome to the fam messages”. I was scared of what I didn’t know, or that I would fail, so I made excuses to not go. It’s most definitely not a cult; It’s a family. It’s 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 can’t do one more second of the WOD, you’ll hear someone, and not just the fabulous coaches, yelling “go, you got it”! 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! I’ve found my new workout home and next month when I turn 40, I’m gonna be able to say I’m 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!!
Great place! Everyone is so welcoming there!!! Lovely people and really good coaches! Like the programming as well!
I really enjoyed the workout at Benchmark. This was my first time doing CrossFit and the coach was great. He really took his time to work with me on the Olympic lifts and the CrossFit terminology. If you are looking for a CrossFit gym given Benchmark a chance. One of the owners is also the owner of Helena Health Club and Everything they do is first rate
Love this place! The workouts are challenging. The instructors are awesome and will push you to your limit just as you think you can't do anymore. Everyone is so welcoming and genuinely care to see everyone make it through their workout. My first workout people in the class encouraged me the entire time..... 'you can do it Stephanie, Go Stephanie, Great Job Stephanie'! Really helps to soften what... More
