Tired of walking around the gym trying to figure out what exercises you're going to do to achieve your goals? Join Squad Fitness. It is, by far, some of the best money I have ever spent on myself. I love that I can go in and within 45 minutes, I have effectively worked every muscle group. The training I receive there is awesome because I don't feel intimidated by being on-on-one with the trainer and I have a group of like-minded people who are trying to truly make fitness a habit. The trainers will show you how to properly execute the moves and show you modifications IF you need to take it down a notch. I truly recommend Squad Fitness to anyone who is seriously looking to make a change in their lifestyle for the better. It's going to take a lot of determination and stickwithitness, but I promise, in the end, it is more than worth it.

I started going to Squad Fitness because of the Birmingham Camp Challenge 20lbs in 6 weeks. I lost my first 20lbs in the first 4 weeks. I've never had a better work out. I've never been pushed to accomplish goals the way they push you. You train hard to get great results. The people who go are awesome and are great motivators as well. After the challenge is over I'll get a membership and I hope to lose another 80lbs. Before Squad Fitness, a goal of 100lbs sounds so out of reach. Now it seems very possible with the guidance of all the trainers and coaches. I thank every single person who made this place possible and every person who keeps in going. 5 STARS!

When I first walked into Squad Fitness I wasn't sure. It is definitely not like your average gym. Don't be deceived! I'm glad to say I just finished my six week challenge! I'm down 22 pounds and I feel great! I'm wearing clothes I haven't been able to wear in 2 years. There were times when I thought i wasn't going to make it but The trainers are amazing and they encourage you to push yourself to achieve your goal. They are very knowledgeable about total body fitness and are always happy to answer questions and help any time you need them. I would definitely recommend Squad Fitness to anyone looking to loose weight, get in shape or just tone up. You won't regret joining! It's the best thing I've ever done for myself.

I just finished the Drop 20 Challenge Birmingham with Squad Fitness, Homewood location! In all, I lost 21.8 lbs!! Although the weigh loss is amazing, I also gained several new friends and a great location to workout!! The workouts are NOT easy, but they are great! I have gained strength, endurance and self confidence! I have lost weight, lowered my resting heart rate a lot! My clothes are all too big! So exciting!! I plan to continue my progress and workouts at Squad Fitness as long as I live in the Birmingham area! The trainers are the best at motivating and pushing you to become the best YOU! They are there for you with support and guidance whatever your goals may be! Brock Daniel Check out Squad Fitness! You will be so glad you did!

I was successful with the Squad Fitness 6 Week Challenge. I honestly don't think I could have lost this amount of weight in 6 weeks if I was going to a normal gym. I really like the pressure to succeed, the trainers are there to help you through and push you during your work out. The nutrition plan that they give you is tough and if you don't follow it you're not going to lose the weight. The trainers are great for offering a wide range of work outs to keep your body shredding the weight. They always play fun and energetic music to help drive you to the next work out. I liked the program so much, lost the weight and now I'm a Ultimate Member so I can keep losing the weight and keep it off for good! You should definitely invest in yourself and your health.

Time flies when you are having fun. 6 week ago, my sister in law proposed we take a challenge together. She gave me a phone number, I called, made an appointment, filled some forms and off we went. For the past 6 weeks, I have worked out 4 times per week, and tried my best to follow their diet plan. The "Drop 20 Challenge" has been the perfect start to a healthier me. I have never been motivated to work out, and when I diet, I lose a few pounds and they come back rather quickly. At Squat Fitness they make it easy. I feel motivated, energetic and look forward to coming to the gym. The energy, the trainers, and every one there are all incredible! For the 1st time, I enjoy exercising. Every day is different, and I can pick the best time to come for me. I am not fun of the same thing, at the same time, so their program matches me perfectly!. I have now lost over 16 pounds in 6 weeks. I became a member, and look forward to working hard every day. See you there!

Danyell Weekley

I absolutely loved my experience at squad fitness. The trainers are very nice, professional, knowledgeable, encouraging and fun to be around. The work out are amazing and are never the same which keeps it interesting. I like the fact that you are the machine instead of the same old machines in traditional gyms. The location is great and safe. I participated in the six week challenge and was able to loose over 20lbs. I feel so much better. I sleep better at night. I feel leaner, stronger and healthier. I would definitely recommend this place and their programs to anyone looking to get healthier or stronger.

Andreia Rodgers

Squad fitness has been great for me!! The 6 week challenge was the jump start I needed for my lifestyle change. The flexible dates and times made it easy to fulfill my obligation. The trainers pushed me beyond my limits each session but still remained full of encouragement! The environment made it easy to hit my personal goal. I am so pleased with the results that I decided to become a member to continue this journey. It was hard but so rewarding in the end. This is hands down one of the best investments I have made in myself. It only gets better from here. Big thanks to Squad Fitness for believing in me.

Maria Granados

This challenge and facility are amazing! I started the Drop 20 Challenge and did not think I would be able to do it just because I have never had luck with losing weight. After six weeks of dedication, hard work, and commitment, I can say that I was able to lose the 20 pounds! The trainers there make you feel welcome from day 1 and push you to your limits. I have felt so good with myself and my body throughout this whole process and would recommend it to anybody! It has been the best decision I’ve made for my health and I will continue to work with Squad Fitness as a member now to keep these results going! Thank you SQUAD.

Laura Tate

I joined the 20 day challenge with Squad fitness 6 weeks ago. It was not an easy journey, but I loved it. I would walk in each morning a little tired and grouchy, but by the end of the workout, I was happy and eager to start my day. I lost 15 pounds in 6 weeks and feel a lot less bulky and a lot stronger. If you are looking for a great jump start to your weight loss goals, come join us at Squad Fitness!

Telysa Pride

I loved my experience with Squad Fitness. The trainers push you towards your goals. They continually motivate you as well. They treat you like family and make you feel welcome. The workouts are hard but definitely bring results. They have the knowledge to help you achieve the goals and will help by finding out what you're working on and what you can do to get closer to that. They are not like other gyms they actually know who you are and take the time interact with you. This gym is awesome. The transformations they have at this gym is incredible and they will definitely give you the results you are looking for along with a great environment.

Chevis Maze

For a couple of years I kept telling myself I was going to join a gym and get my weight down. Last year I joined a gym paid every month but never attended. This year I herd from a co worker about the The Camp Challenge and I accepted the Challenge. The first week I rediscovered muscles I forgot about while I was inactive however I lost 9 lbs. As the weeks continued I began to see my body transforming and workouts where becoming a critical part of day. However the workouts were so challenging that just when I thought my body was accustom to my new way of life I'd be sore all over again. Eating clean by making healthy food choices was the biggest adjustment but one thing I know is true.. YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT! This experience was a new start to a more healthy, active and fit life style. I'm so excited about my transformation ! I encourage everyone that want results to join the Challenge at Squad Fitness you won't be disappointed!

Charlie Hearn

This week has been crazy so I'm just now getting around to this post. Although I didn't reach my 25lb goal I did lose 15 lbs. It has definitely motivated me to continue getting back in shape. Squad fitness has been a fantastic place to start this journey and i will continue the journey there as well. Special thanks to Brock Edmondson, Daniel Hudson, and Austin Lee for pushing me during the last 6 weeks. Keep it coming. I encourage anyone wishing to achieve their own fitness goals to check out Squad Fitiness. They not only create workouts designed to challenge you each and every day, but they also provide you with a proper nutritional guide (probably the most important part for reaching your goals). One of the best parts is even if you have a hectic schedule, there is a workout time for you. These guys are there just about all hours of the day to help you reach your fitness goals. So if you're ready to change your life like I did, check out Squad Fitness.

I decided to sign in to the Drop 20 Challenge after I saw the amazing results my friend Cristina Gonzalez got when she completed hers. I needed something quick and that gave me motivation to lose the weight I have gained in the last year due to lack of exercise and poor eating habits. As soon as I walk in through the door I felt the energy in the place. People that don’t even know you motivate you to stay on track. I loved all the trainers Daniel, Brock and Austin always were pushing me hard. What I love the most was that the exercises were quick and effective. I only lost 11 pounds, but I gain new friends, confidence and motivation to keep going. I will continue my fitness journey at Squad with specialize meal plans and exercises that will help me reach my goal with personalized trainers!!! Once again thank you SQUAD FITNESS, YOU ARE AWESOME!!!

Audreyd

Squad is a great place to work out. I just finished the 6-week challenge and dropped 23lbs! Attending this gym is the best decision I have made in a long time. I am very pleased with my results. I can run longer distances and my upper body strength has improved. They close at 7:30am but they offer about 7+ classes a day and 3 on Saturday so it is a flexible fitness center. Brock is a terrific trainer. He really encouraged me throughout the challenge. All of the trainers are very responsive and friendly. They want YOUR to push it to your limit! You will not regret attending their classes.

Victoria White

This is an amazing gym to workout in! I absolutely loved working out here every morning! The people, trainers and the environment were just awesome! I really learned a lot from working out there. I did the Camp Challenge and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Squad Fitness helped my regain control over my life! So glad I took the step to join and change my life for the better. Highly recommend this gym to any and everyone. No matter what your fitness level or goals are this gym can help you get to where you want to be!!

Hannah Givens

6 weeks ago I made the hardest decision to change my lifestyle, but Squad Fitness has made it one of the best decisions. The Camp Challenge has made exercising and healthy eating something fun and much more doable than most other gyms. This 6 week challenge has taught me that being healthy is necessary but that it's fun. The trainers at squad are so encouraging and want nothing but for you to succeed. In this challenge, the group you are with becomes family because everyone is in there to change their lifestyle. No one is any better than anyone else's and at the final weigh in you realize that people are all very different shapes and sizes when they are at healthy. I highly recommend this gym and the The Camp Challenge for anyone willing to make the change. You won't regret it.

Hadley S

Absolutely love Squad Fitness and the 6 week challenge. Best decision I have made in a long time and it has definitely motivated me to live a healthier lifestyle going forward. The workouts are awesome and QUICK. The trainers are so amazing and supportive and never let you give up. All around a wonderful experience and I am looking forward to continuing my fitness journey with Squad Fitness!

Jennifer “jenexecsec421” Martin

Squad Fitness is an awesome place to workout! Whether you're trying to lose weight, tone up, or simply stay in shape. The trainers are amazing and definitely hold you accountable. Working out at squad fitness, I never feel alone and they become family, especially if you're going 5 times a week or so. The workouts that they have devised are always different and are never boring. It honestly goes by so fast that you don't realize all that you have done! I would highly recommend joining this gym if looking for a gym home.

Monica Slaughter

I began the Drop 20 Challenge because I was stagnant and hoped that through this challenge I would be able to create new habits - to be healthy and to set a positive healthy example for my kids. I had been trying to go it on my own, but I needed the accountability and encouragement that Squad Fitness provided in order to reach my goals. Squad Fitness provided very challenging workouts, but also created an upbeat environment full of fun music and positive encouragement. The meal plan guidance that they provide ensures success. Under their supervision, I not only met my 20 pound goal, but exceeded it and lost 21.2 pounds in six weeks! I am grateful for their leadership and training; I encourage anyone serious about changing their lifestyle and reclaiming their health to sign up.

Terra Nelson

I've never been part of a program where I've had to have so much discipline!!! The trainers at Squad are awesome. Thanks for pushing me when I wanted to give up! I didn't want to finish this week because I thought I would lose but I got spiteful instead and finished strong! I lost 23.2 lbs! Im excited! The meal plan and learning to meal prep wasn't as hard as I had thought it would be. I like having options to pick the meals that work best for you! The trainers want you to succeed and are so helpful to keep changing your plan to make it work to better your results! The workouts are tough but I loved how everyday was something different. It never gets boring or routine. It was awesome meeting new people and making friends all focused on working hard. If you want to lose 20 at the beginning of the year contact them they will be starting the next challenge soon! You won't regret it!!

Courtney Rich

This challenge was absolutely amazing! If you're really looking for a fitness community and not your standard gym, this is it. The trainers here really push and motivate you to get you where you want to be. I may not have lost 20 pounds but I can definitely see some results. This has motivated me to get back in shape and get down to my ideal weight. I'm not going to lie, it wasn't easy but it was more than worth it. This is just the beginning of a new journey for my new lifestyle. I can't wait to see where it takes me!

Jayne Finke

I completed my 6 week challenge last week and lost 24lbs and feel great! I needed a jump start to get me back into a fitness routine so that I can be healthier for myself, my kids, and my patients. This team was amazing the entire time. They pushed you through to do your best and encouraged you. They always had great attitudes every time you saw them. This was tough but so worth it. It's much easier to workout with a group of people on the same level as you than some people that have been working out for years. We all worked together and pushed each other to get to the end of each workout. I would recommend this challenge to anyone no matter your size. We all have to start somewhere and this is a great jump start where you can drastically see and feel results starting on week one!

Monica Carroll

For years I had been trying to find the motivation to get back into shape, but it was just too hard! I used to be a group fitness instructor and personal trainer myself, but after three children and years out of the gym, I just didn't have the energy to get back. I could see my overall health declining. Little things like my balance had declined so significantly that I was starting to feel much older than I am. The Drop 20 Challenge was exactly the motivation and accountability I needed. After just 6 weeks, I can see huge changes in my appearance, strength, endurance, balance and state of mind. The trainers are fabulous, and the workouts are never boring. I would recommend the program to anyone who is having trouble finding the motivation to get into a gym!

Ashton Garner

The drop 20 challenge was just what I needed. I got comfortable with myself at the end of 2017 and the beginning of this year. I turned 27 this year so one of my goals were to lose 27 pounds for the year. With the Drop 20 challenge, I lost 17 pounds total. The challenge is totally worth the results in the end. The workouts and meal plan challenge to you achieve you goals plus more. The accountability and the workout partners you gain will keep you motivated to keep going. All you have to do is follow the instructions! Overall, if anyone wants to challenge themselves to a healthier, more fit life...the Drop 20 challenge is the path to go!!! You won’t regret it in the end!!

Latrice Hatcher

Recently I just completed the six week challenge. The workouts are insane. I am not a runner but going to Squad Fitness and having to run almost all the time, running is not so bad once you start doing it. The coaches were awesome. They were supportive and always motivating you not to give up. It wasn't about who finished first but how you finished. I met some great people at the challenge as well. We motivated each other. If you're looking for a place to start living a healthier lifestyle then this is the place to go to. You will get all the support you need to start changing your life for the better.

Esther Gachungi

0.6lbs short...😪20lbs. was the goal and to come SO close was both AMAZING & a little disappointing. But I was able to lose 19.4lbs in 6 weeks!! ... I beat myself up at first but had to look a the bigger picture. When I joined Squad Fitness my only goal was to lose the 20lbs. Through out the process I realized there was more to it than the workouts. It’s also about how well you take care and fuel your body before and after the workouts. Probably most importantly how well you EAT!! (F.T.D.I) I met a lot of great people, got great results, and found incredible trainers to keep me accountable!! Overall a great experience and opportunity!! Was it easy? No Is it doable? Of course!!! 💪🏾

Anna Carlisle Hoomes

Where do you want to be in 6 weeks? Right where you are or with huge physical fitness gains? If you are looking to change bad habits or start good habits, this is the place! The trainers push you in every workout and the nutrition is real food with no frills. No gimmicks. Squad fitness helped me push myself to see numbers I haven't seen in a decade and to feel better than I have in far longer than that! I lost inches and pounds, but I gained far more than I lost -- confidence, feeling strong and healthy, an exercise routine that I have proven can be a part of my regular schedule. Take on the challenge and jump in with both feet!

Bobbie Datcher

The team at Squad Fitness are top notch! They sincerely work to transform your mind and body. After my 6 week challenge i now understand how to eat healthier and exercise properly for lasting results. I recommend this gym to everyone wanting to get fit and to live with healthier lifestyle. This program not only transforms your body put also your mind. Brock Edmonson and Daniel Hudson were AWESOME trainers!

Inspire Be Inspired

Absolute MUST if you have any fitness or weight loss goals! I just finished the 6 week challenge at the Homewood location and it was a fantastic experience! First, the trainers are great at pushing you and ensuring that you keep going. Mark was very motivating & helped me modify where needed. Secondly, the group that I worked out with every day definitely kept me going. It was nice that we were separated from the members for our workout because it was less intimidating as we were learning and trying to keep up! It also allowed us to bond as a group. I lost 22.8 lbs during the challenge and I would definitely recommend it to anyone starting out or continuing on a fitness journey. The challenge ended on Monday and I have tried the Trussville location all week as one of my friends goes to that local. They are awesome there as well! I feel like they really have your best interest at heart and know how to help you reach your goals! Give it a go!

Mandy Sorenson

The challenge is over! I lost 16lbs and several inches in just 6 weeks. I feel better and I have more energy than I have had since my 1st born. Everyone at squad fitness, the coaches and the members, contributed to this great experience and were there to give me the pushes that I needed. This program has let me know that I can dig deep and push harder than I ever thought possible. It not only built up my strength but it built up my self-confidence and morale. The drop 20 challenge may be over but thanks to squad fitness, I am still sticking to my goal and continuing my weight loss and improving my body! My membership at squad fitness is exactly what I need to get me there.

Jasmine Bentley

I didn't loose the 20lb but I gain so much from this challenge. I was having a hard time being accountable to my workout and this has helped me a lot! I wanted a healthy life style and I felt like It was just impossible, however, this challenge helped me realize that it is possible to live and eat healthy and I can do it! I would recommend anybody that need that extra push to a healthy life style to join. The coaches there are awesome they care about your wellbeing and that want to help you reach your goals!

Nakia Browning

I completed the Drop 20 six weeks challenge and lost 20.4 pounds. What a life changing experience, I can honestly say that my six weeks experience has been nothing short of life changing. I could not have done it without the help of the squad fitness trainers, I can not say enough about this group!! I would like to give a special thanks to the following squad fitness trainers: Brock Edmondson, Brandon Clark, Daniel Hudson, and Mark Marlatt for their hard work and pushing me to the next level . The workout atmosphere and people are amazing. The Drop 20 six weeks challenge has changed my outlook and given me a desire to continue my new healthy lifestyle!!!

Kailah Hughley

This was one of the best things I have done in a long time. I would go to the gym and I didn't push myself the way I needed to. I started going and I must admit the first couple of weeks were hard, but I got through it! I started seeing results and that pushed me to go harder. I lost 6.8 pounds the first week and lost 23 pounds in the 6 weeks! The coaches push you and motivate you as well as the members and the other challengers! I feel so much better! I am able to do so much more physically and I am still keeping up with eating habits! It's a great program and I recommend it to everybody!

candy lazar

This gym and program is awesome! Don't hesitate just do it. The trainers are great and push you to do your best and they make sure you are doing everything the correct way. I love this gym. They will teach you proper nutrition and exercises. I feel better and stronger having done this challenge and I now have the willpower to keep the weight off. You can do this and change your life for you and your loved ones. The exercises are challenging and will push you out of your comfort zone but stay with it and keep pushing your self.

Nicole Harris

SQUAD Fitness is spectacular. The coaches, Brock, Daniel, Jameison and Romen, are awesome. I entered the challenge skeptical about the 20 lbs in six weeks. Not because I did not think I could do it, but I loose inches more than pounds. The workouts were challenging, the coaches were encouraging, motivating and they all have a great sense of humor. Even though the workouts were rigorous there were modified to accommodate the different level of the challengers. This is not your traditional gym; it is more of a family oriented environment with encouragement coming from every direction not just the trainers. Through this challenge I have met people with similar goals, positive attitudes, the willingness to encourage and offer suggestions to assist in everyone being successful. This was what I had been looking for to assist me on my journey to become physically fit.

Srinivas Barla

Completed SquadFitness 6 week challenge program and was able to lose 27.2 lbs. Registering for this challenge was one of the best decision I've made in recent times. The trainers are very helpful and they keep you motivated to reach your goals. The workouts are tough but at the same time you will be rewarded yourself by seeing the results. This program is not just about weight lose, you will learn the correct way to workout and follow healthy eating plan. Also you will see difference in the strength level you acheived. I would definitely recommend SquadFitness to anyone who want to invest in their health. Thanks to my trainers Brock, Daniel, Mark and Justin

A Luna

I really love everything about Squad Fitness! I've met some wonderful people who are on the same path as me and we encourage each other all the time. Coaches are awesome and motivating. Everyday there is a different workout and they have music playing which always makes it fun. I love the atmosphere! If you are ready to make some healthy changes in your lifestyle then give Squad fitness a try. You will sweat like never before and feel great afterwards! The results are real, you won't regret it!

Celeste Romano

Squad fitness is amazing! You don't just walk in, walk on a treadmill for an hour and then leave. All they have are structured classes led by talented and knowledgeable trainers. You start sweating and burning calories from the moment the classes start. The exercises are tough but they help you work up to your potential. The trainers are there to supervise and make sure you don't injure yourself. I lost about 10 pounds in 6 weeks, which is a lot for my short stature. I highly recommend squad fitness Birmingham!

Bridgette Fulgham

I would recommend this program to anyone I know it's that great! It doesn't matter what fitness level you're on they have modified techniques that your body will still benefit from. The trainers are very professional and continually give you motivation during the workouts. The workouts change daily and are very challenging but, with the motivation and support you will push right through them just like we all have! It does become addictive when you start seeing and feeling progress! Along with the unique workouts they provide you with a healthy nutritional food guide to help jump start your metabolism. Throughout this program of ONLY six weeks my stamina has increased, I feel stronger, and I lost weight when nothing else would work for me! It's hard but, well worth it in the end! This program is definitely a lifestyle changer!

Stephanie White

Talk about a challenge! You can always count on the coaches to push you, and the workouts are always changing. They are always helpful in making modifications if you have problems with tightness or injury. I wanted to make a change, and I did it with the challenge. The factor that helped me the most with my success, were the check ins with the coaches. They would text me and check my progress. It made me feel like they cared about my results as much as I did. I am now joining the squad family, where I can continue my fitness journey! If you are serious about making some changes for your life, do it. There aren't many opportunities like this. Oh, and I lost 23 pounds in 6 weeks! 😉

Tiffany Henderson

Wow... where do I start? I joined the Camp Challenge in Gardendale on 6/6/16 with the intent of dropping 20 lbs. I've been traveling for work for 4 years, living out of hotels and eating unhealthy for too long. I decided it was now or never to begin my weightloss and healthy lifestyle journey. The first workout was intense and I could barely keep up but as I looked around the gym, I realized everyone was on a different level of fitness and some looked just like me. I kept pushing, working hard, and at one point almost gave up. Thank God for the fantastic trainers and my new workout buddies. After 6 Weeks I'm 12 LBS lighter and inches slimmer. I'm happier, healthier, and more energized. Join the squad. You won't regret it!

Shanda And Jason

The workout sessions here are great. The personal trainers at Squad push you outside your comfort zone to get the maximum results. The workouts are designed to get results with muscle confusion and exercises specifically designed to workout your whole body. The atmosphere is unlike any gym I've ever been too. The group setting enables everyone to encourage and motivate each other. The music is awesome and upbeat which helps keep you going. The meal plan provided combined with the workout sessions keep your metabolism working in high gear like nobody's business. I could never have pushed myself or gotten the results I did without the help of Squad and the awesome personal trainers. I can't thank Roman and his crew enough for the amazing opportunity to participate in the challenge.

Amanda Chamblee

6 weeks. 42 days. At the beginning, I thought there was no way I could keep up a healthy diet plus a 4-5 times a week workout routine. BUT, I was wrong and that 6 weeks went by and left me wanting another 6 weeks and another after that. I didn’t make the 20 pound goal, but I got close and I’m proud of what I was able to do. My clothes fit better, I feel healthier and stronger, and I find myself looking forward to the next active part of my day. The coaches at Squad are great – they know you by name, they WANT you to succeed and they push you to get there. Take the challenge. You won’t regret it.

Meghan Mills

I just finished my first challenge and for the first time in my life I've lost weight (20 lbs in 6 week) in a healthy way. I feel great! I've relearned how much I enjoy exercise and how easy it is to eat real clean (unprocessed) food. It's amazing how my constant cravings for fast food disappeared in just a few weeks. For me it's not just about the number on the scale but the energy I have, how I'm more productive at work and home, and how much I've improved in what I can do physically. Squad fitness has also been a great way for me to meet people and find a great social support system on my long term lifestyle change of fitness. Because I successfully completed the challenge, the decision for me to either refund my challenge deposit or continue on with a membership at Squad was a no brainier!

Jamelia Pearson

I absolutely love this place. The work outs never get old or boring. The trainers are top notch and some of the nicest,most encouraging people I've ever met. ...And my challenge teammates are AWESOME. Getting in shape and making friends that will last a lifetime! At first I was sceptical about the entire process but after my first workout I quickly changed my mind. As long as you follow the rules ,have discipline and determination it is possible to achieve your goal. I would recommend everyone to try it out if you are serious about becoming physically fit and healthy. Special shout out to Brock,Daniel, and Mark. You guys are top notch and I couldn't have done it without your support.

katie bruno

I participated in the Drop 20 challenge at the Homewood location. I want to thank Brock and Brandon for helping to push me to my limits during my 6 week challenge. I gained muscle and strength and lost fat and pounds. Although I didn't lose the 20 pounds, I was very pleased with the results. I will continue with Squad to help maintain my loss and muscle tone. I made a lot of great friends that were so good at helping push me through the difficult days. Hopefully, I will continue to work out with these new friends in the coming weeks and months. I encourage you to try the challenge - it's not easy - but it's worth the hard work and certainly helps with the accountability associated with diet and weight loss!

Shawndrea Deshazo

This is a great challenge and you will definitely lose the weight within the six weeks if you follow the instructions. I lost 25.2 lbs in the 6 weeks. The trainers are great and will motivate you throughout the challenge. You will also be provided with all of the necessary tools to succeed in the challenge such as: meal plan, work outs and weekly weigh ins. This challenge definitely helped me get in better shape with the interval and strength cardio classes they provided. So if you are thinking about doing the challenge go to the orientation and get started you will not regret it!!!!

Lindsay Vines

The final weigh in! 18.8 lbs down! Even though I am somewhat disappointed I didn't meet the goal by 1.2 lbs I am still happy I made it this far! I feel better about myself! My clothes fit different and I've even bought smaller sizes which always makes a gal feel better 😉 Squad fitness has been a great place to start my journey! I love the trainers and how they hold us accountable and push us as hard as we can go. Because at the end of the day they want the same thing I do! To be healthier! I am continuing my journey at Squad and can't wait to see how far I can go to become a better me!

I was in shape all my life until I graduated high school. After I graduated high school, I kept working out for a while but slowly stopped. After three years of not working out and eating whatever I wanted, I am so glad I found out about The Challenge. I went from eating out most of my meals to eating healthy and working out four times a week. I would suggest The Challenge to anyone because I lost 22.4 pounds in 6 weeks. If you follow the instructions they give you then you should be able to lose 20 pounds or more. I also loved the group workout environment at the Challenge and the trainers are extremely helpful. You see results very quickly with this program and I haven’t felt this in shape in years.

Hannah Krebs Wagnon

After seeing SO MANY people finish this program successfully, I started looking in to it. I was so unhappy with how out of shape I had let myself get and wanted a change. Don't take this lightly when I say that Drop 20 is no joke. This challenge is hard, but was exactly what I needed to get myself back where I wanted to be. The eating is strict and the workouts are difficult but you get stronger and more disciplined every single day. It makes it easier to wake up in the morning knowing you are making a difference, for the better, in your body. This also couldn't have been done without the trainers!! They know how to push you out of your comfort zone and make you accomplish things you didn't think you could. I'm so thankful for the opportunity to better myself physically & mentally at squad. The trainers, members, and challengers make you feel like family!!

Arian Allen

Let me first start out by saying that this was by far the HARDEST thing I have ever done in my life. I was extremely skeptical at first because I wasn't sure that I could do it but I'm so glad I stuck with it. It was really hard working out 4x a week but that actually became my favorite part about the program because it made me hold myself accountable. The atmosphere is amazing and so are the trainers. It's definitely a family environment and I actually met some great people here. The work outs are tough but it was very encouraging to have someone always there motivating me to finish the set. I completed the challenge with a total loss of 27lbs in 6 weeks. This was an awesome challenge and I highly recommend it. I now feel prepared to continue my lifestyle change.

Kirsten Smith

So I needed a jump start aka restart after having My son and completely losing touch with any sort of fitness/healthy eating. After seeing that a friend completed the challenge, it was enough motivation for me to sign up. The coaches were amazing and they have times all through the day that you can go train. 6 weeks to get back on track and lose weight/inches and regain your confidence was definitely worth it! (Slick thinking about doing it again!) Lost 7 lbs and 3 inches off of my waist! And I can do push ups and burpees again. That's a big step! Moral to the story.. give it a try!

Kamera Stroger

This 6 week challenge has been one of the most revealing 6 weeks I've ever experienced. I unfortunately didn't meet my goal of losing 20 lbs in 6 weeks, but it definitely showed me that I do have the willpower to lose it. I knew it wasn't going to be easy for me, especially me being someone that's never been active or physically fit. I'm feeling more energetic , more focused on living a healthier lifestyle, and motivated to workout. I met some wonderful people and had great hands on trainers. Everyone , members a other challengers , all with great words of encouragement on my good and bad days. I went down 12lbs during this 1st party of my journey and excited to see myself exceed the challenge.A special thank you to some of the coaches at Squad Fitness , Daniel Hudson , Brock Edmondson and Matt Marlatt, these guys kept pushing and working with me daily. I am delighted to now be a member of the Squad.

Lindsay Vandegrift

I just completed my first 6 week challenge and I succeeded! Thanks to the amazing trainers, who pushed me to be my best at every workout, I was able to drop 20 pounds. By the end of the 6 weeks, I was doing things I could not do on my first week. I had to start with many alternate moves to work around pain and old injuries, but the trainers are very knowledgeable and take the time to make sure your form is correct. They want you performing at your best, not someone else's. I made some wonderful friends that encouraged me and helped me through. I look forward to starting my next 6 week challenge. I'm getting fast results that I have been unable to achieve on my own. I am strong and motivated!

Diana Baccus

I just finished my 6 weeks Drop 20 Challenge! I lost 20.8lbs! Unbelievable! I was very sceptic before I signed up but it did happen. Thanks to the coaches who pushed me when I needed it and kept me accountable, this was possible. The first couple of weeks were not easy. I had to change my diet and I realized how addicted I was to sugar. But I had a clear goal in my mind and decided that I will make it work. Now, 6 weeks later I still have some cravings but I learned how to read the nutritional information on all foods and make better choices. If you want to lose weight and get in shape here’s where you start. The workouts are always fun and challenging. No need to do a Challenge specifically. Just sign up and start working. Ask for the meal plan and FTDI! It will make your life so much easier! I have been gaining weight for the past 18 months and tried all kinds of gyms and online programs... you can’t do it alone! You need to be part of a Squad!

John Adams

I completed the Drop 20 challenge at the Squad Fitness Homewood location. I've languished at around 245/250 lbs for years and finally decided to give a place like Squad Fitness a try. Here's the kicker. There is no other place like Squad Fitness! The coaches are attentive to your questions and the workouts are designed with a purpose. This was a great experience for me. The trainers - Brock, Brandon & Josh are great! The challenge not only involves working out. You are provided with a food guide which if you utilize it appropriately you will see positive results. Combine those two things along with one very important third decision - You committing to the challenge. If you aren't willing to commit yourself to 6 weeks then nothing will change for you. I lost 27 lbs in 6 weeks by simply showing up and eating appropriately. It was hard but fun. Be creative with your food. Egg white quiche with sweet potatoes. Yum. Participating in the Drop 20 Challenge was the best decision I've made in a long time. Anyone can do it. You can do it! #SquadIn

Ed Liberatori

I successfully completed the 6 week challenge and have been very pleased with my experience. I lost 30.2 lbs and feel better. The best part is that my wife and I did the challenge together and had fun doing in doing so. It brought us closer together as we cheered each other on. Together we lost a combined 50 lbs in 6 weeks! The diet change was the hardest part for me but I never had a bad meal and was rarely hungry. The workouts were challenging and fun. I formed good habits that I will continue such as drinking a gallon of water a day and eating more frequently throughout the day. The trainers were motivational and helpful. Thanks Squad Fitness!!

Schinley Land

As a busy woman with work/kids/husband/life, I had really not taken the time to focus on my own health. This program has been the perfect challenge and motivation for me. The AM/PM workouts are flexible for busy schedules. However, I've found getting up and knocking them out first thing in the morning really starts my day off right and leaves me feeling accomplished & energized. Plus, there are very few distractions (other than the snooze button on your alarm) that will keep you from being able to work out before 7 am. I am NOT a morning person. Instead, I've always been a multiple snoozer. Now, I am excited to get up and get going because I feel stronger every day! The workouts are challenging but the coaches do an amazing job breaking them up into small segments so you can push yourself and achieve your goal. Muscles you didn't even know you had will be sore! The good news is that they push/challenge you so much more than you would on your own. The coaches and the challengers around you offer great accountability. This accountability and support wasn't something I anticipated but has been an extra bonus! The other challengers are another pleasant surprise. They aren't muscle bound fanatics. They are real people, working to improve their own health. The team and coaches make it a wonderful, non-intimidating atmosphere. The food plan gives you simple guidelines to follow. At first I thought it was going to be 6 weeks of awful, boring chicken. After talking with some fellow challengers, we started sharing some great recipe ideas. Our family meals ended up being healthier and tasty-and all within the rules! Take the challenge to improve your health! Thank you Rock Brown, Ben Angle and Cali Littlejohn for all of your encouragement and pushing us to our healthier selves!

Traci Gill

I'm just wrapping up my 6 week challenge. The trainers are excellent and have gone above and beyond to keep the motivation going. When I started, if I ran 15 feet I would have been flat on my face gasping for air. The trainers helped to start me at a fitness level that I could do, with modifications to the more difficult exercises. Now I have more energy and endurance and feel better than I have in years...and actually have fun working out.

Kallie Sims

Sophomore year of college I started noticing how much weight I had gained sense high school. In High school I was very active and fit for the most part. Being overweight was something I was not used to so when I heard about the challenge I knew I had to sign up. Now 6 weeks later I can say that I lost 22 pounds! Squad fitness and the trainers there really pushed me to reach my goal of losing 20 pounds! I started finding myself actually being excited to go workout and push myself! The trainers are very encouraging and want to help you out in any way possible. I highly recommend Squad Fitness to anyone that is looking to lose weight!

Lindy McCullers Carmichael

After getting engaged recently my past week has been a whirlwind, so I’m a little late in posting about these photos. As part of my challenge I am obligated to post and review my experience with Squad Fitness Six Week Weight Loss Challenge. I am one who has never liked gyms and preferred to do my workouts outside. Because of this, I made excuses as to why I couldn't workout and I let myself go. I am not 21 anymore, I can’t eat the way I used to and being five foot even, I will always have a weight problem if I do not take control of my life. So, when I saw the opportunity to join the Drop 20 Challenge through Squad Fitness, I knew I had to take advantage of it. The Drop 20 Challenge was a huge lifestyle change for me, but it was a change for the best. The 22 page “FTDI Bible” terrified me on Day 1. This book listed out everything I could eat. If it’s not listed too bad, you can’t eat. Every Sunday I would wake up, plan each meal for the week, go to the grocery store and meal prep ALL DAY LONG for the whole week. Eating correctly was the first step to getting my life back to where it was. After my first workout, I thought I was going to die. I didn’t realize how bad in shape I was and how much weight I had gained in just two and a half years. The coaches were all encouraging, and they pushed you to not give up. I was so proud of myself on week four when I could move up in my weights as I had gained so much more strength. I still hate burpees but have started enjoying running again, and if you know me I used to be an avid runner. Even though I didn’t lose the 20 pounds, just shy of it, seeing what I could do in six weeks with a group of people that are supportive and want you to be happy, it was all worth it. From what I’ve learned the past six weeks I am applying to my life still. I am now officially part of the Squad Fitness family and couldn’t be happier working out in a gym. I recommend to anyone who is needing to get their life back to a healthier way, to challenge yourself. Do the Drop 20 Challenge.

Andria Brown

When I first heard about the challenge, I was a bit intimidated by looking at the videos and pictures of what takes place during the challenge, so I chose to ignore the multiple text messages and emails. One Saturday morning I was killing time with the bestie and we decided to go to a meeting at the Trussville location. Listening to the trainers go over the expectations and watching the live demonstrations made me optimistic, so I decided to give it a try. This was the absolute best decision I could have ever made. My best friend and I decided to attend the Homewood location, since it is less than 5 miles from our job. The trainers there were all very pleasant, but Daniel stuck out the most when it came to doing workouts. His positive aura and friendly spirit made me feel as if he was truly cared about my health and cared about me reaching not only my weight loss goal, but my goal to live a healthier life. The squad fitness experience is one that I will never forget. The workouts were intense, but by week 2, I was looking forward to them. The lessons that I learned during this six week challenge (clean, healthy eating and the workouts) will be carried on as I continue my journey to becoming a healthier me. I came in with one friend and left out with many. At squad fitness, there was no judgement, because we were all there for the same reason; to lose weight and get healthy. If I could afford it, I would still be there, but it just isn’t financially feasible for me right now. However, the experiences that I learned and the relationships that I built are priceless. I am still in contact with my squad workout buddies and we are continuing to motivate either other to be the best that we can be. We meet up several times a week and workout together. The 22.4 pounds that I lost during my six weeks was only the beginning for me. I know longer have the desire to eat the way that I use to. I don’t have the cravings or anything. I have squad fitness to thank for this. Thank you Daniel Hudson, Brock, Romen, and Mark for all of your hard work and dedication. Thank you all for pushing me when I wanted to give up. I lost my grandmother at the beginning of this challenge and I felt like I couldn’t go on, but God and the squad pulled me through.You all saved my life and I am eternally grateful. #SQUADFITNESSROCKS

Makia Newsome

Today was my final day as a challenger! I must say it was tough but so worth it! This was tough for me because I never finish any workout regimen I start. But the motivation from the trainers, the squad fam and anyone that saw the difference kept me going! They really take care of everything for you and all you have to do is show up and lose weight! Super excited about continuing my fitness journey with my squad family!! If you've been pondering doing this, just do it!!

Deborah Rashada

I just finished my 6 week challenge. I lost 26 lbs in 6 weeks. The trainers, Jameson Finley & Rock Brown were great. Had a lot of fun working with these two. Wish they had a later evening session or a session in between 5:30 am & 8:30 am. With my work schedule I was very limited on the work out times, had to do the 5:30 am or none @ all. Overall I loved my challenge experience. Looking forward to continuing my weight loss journey.

Kay Peterson

I recently completed the Drop 20 Challenge. I was at my heaviest when I entered the challenge. There are various reasons for the weight gain, but the inability to lose the weight was solely on me. So with a new determination, I took the challenge. The results: I lost 24.8 lbs and 13". It was hard work. It required exercising almost daily and changing my eating habits. What else will you gain/find? (1) workout buddies who are taking the same challenge as you. You will encourage, support and hold each other accountable. (2) Coaches who push, encourage and support you (3) members who offer encouragement and cheer you on. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who has weight to lose. It is a great way to jump start your weight loss goals. I have disc problems in my neck and lower back. When there was an exercise I didn't feel I could do, the coaches would modify it to something I could do so that I could still achieve my goals. It is hard work, but well worth it. You will get out what you put into it. They offer several locations to better serve you. What are you waiting for? Get off the couch and take action!!!

Lance Huffstutler

The six week fitness challenge and weight loss program was one of the best choices in my life. From the jump they gave me a diet plan and everything I needed to succeed in the challenge. I thought it was only 20 pounds but for men it was 25. I accepted the challenge. Here are my pros and cons. The pros & cons They give you a one size fits all diet that you must follow strictly to be successful. Even if you follow the diet you may not lose weight some weeks. DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED. Talk to them and let them know your concerns. They will help you beak the cycle. Throughout the program I would balance out and not lose weight for a solid week! If you mix in the carb cycling every week it'll get you down a few more pounds but the diets to be more personalized. Work outs: the work outs were HARD. They make you work for your results and sometimes I couldn't complete them. A majority of the time I did and you could tell you were going to feel it the next morning. Sometimes the work outs were a little short and I think they needed to be about 10 minutes longer. They make you come 4 times a week, that isn't enough to lose the weight. You have to come twice a day sometimes just to make sure you get the weight loss. I bike at work for 9-11 hours sometimes, that definitely helped. If you push yourself you can get through them and fill like you've conquered the world when you're done. Trainers: Brock, Daniel and Mark were great trainers. They were always there to show you the different moves and get you through the class. They were never discouraging or mean, always there to make sure you're doing the work out correctly. Music and Environment; they have a huge area and lots of equipment to work out with. They always find cool ideas to push and pull stuff around to get your heart rate up. They do not have any AC but I really think it helps you shrink down and build stamina. The music varies but it's all up tempo and stuff that will drive you to your next work out. Overall: Life-changing, empowering and a lifestyle change. No gym I've ever been to has made me feel like I have at Squad Fitness. They give you the tools to succeed and get you to 25% but only your dedication will make you successful. Push yourself, don't cheat yourself and look forward to the best change you can will get for your body.

Patrick Bailey (ConfusedPete18)

There are not enough great things to say about Squad Fitness. From the workout environment, to the coaches, and even the others working out in your group, everything all together is an awesome experience. Being someone who has struggled with the "cross fit" concept in the past, and really had several negative experiences, I have found Squad to be none of the bad, and all of the good! The helped me lose some weight, that was really holding me back in things I've wanted to pursue in life. But most importantly, they helped me reach a goal and do something that I wasn't sure I was capable of doing. Thanks Squad Fitness!

SALYNTHIA King

My experience with the squad fitness gym was absolutely amazing! I signed up for the drop 20 challange the coaches were really supportive and held you accountable for not only your work outs but your diet as well. I've been to other gyms and none were as supportive and attentive as squad fitness gym. My experience was so amazing that I've decided to continue my weight loss journey with squad fitness . If your looking for a gym I recommend you give squad fitness gym a try I can guarantee you won't regret it!

Jasper Evans

On 11/7/16 I challenged myself to embark on this weight loss challenge. Before I started I questioned, contemplated, doubted not only myself but also the program I signed up for. I wanted to throw in the towel many times during the process. Here I stand 6 weeks later 28.6 lbs lighter exceeding the goal of 25 lbs. Pushing myself in the gym, waking up at 4 in the morning to get to the gym, motivation from the Squad Fitness crew, encouraging words from friends and family, and my lady by my side...I was able to push thru and complete the first step toward living a healthier life. Hard work comes with great reward....strive for greatness!!! #SquadUp

Hunter Lake

I have been working out with Firm Body Boot camp for 2 years now. Each session is new challenge and the trainers are knowledgeable, motivating, personable, and helpful regarding you personal goals. Firm Body is focused on keeping your health at its peak without worry for personal injury. Heavy lifting is not a priority so don't worry about building bulk. Their motto for looking better naked is exactly what you will achieve.

Catherine Ndungu

6 weeks ago I decided to finally do something about my weight and I could not help but wonder what I have gotten into during the first workout. Fast forward 6weeks later I lost 20lbs and I could not have asked for a better way to do it. This place became my favorite place to be during those weeks I gained so much and fellow challengers were so helpful and friendly. I’m currently still going on with the program and feeling excited About it.

Karmyn Seawright

At the beginning of 2018 I found myself tipping the scales at close to 215 pounds. I’ve always struggled with my weight. Lose some, gain some, lose some....it was a repetitive cycle. I became extremely comfortable with the way things were and I definitely used food to cope about 85% of the time. When I initially saw a post about the Drop 20 Challenge, I immediately told myself that I couldn’t do it. But the more I read the inspiring stories of previous challengers, the more motivated I became. Joining this challenge definitely gave me the motivation, discipline, support and strength I needed to make a lifestyle change. The trainers were SO supportive and I didn’t feel intimated. I loved it SO much that I’m now officially a member 😬 #squadrocks #FTDI #sixweektransformation

Zakeeya Miller

When I first started I wasn't sure about the challenge. I meet a lot of nice people that workout their as well. It was a struggle the first two weeks but after that I got the hang of it. We partner up a lot and it was very motivational for me as well. I had to change my meal plan because I wasn't losing anything I was gaining but I know everybody body is different. The parking is not great at all. But if you is looking for a program that will help you on your weightloss journey this would be it. I completed the challenge with 21.8 pounds lost in 6 weeks so if i could do it you can too. Remember water is the key and putting some good in your system after workout. You have to push yourself and be determined that you want a change in your life. If I had to do it all over again I would. But I will continue my healthy eating and workout at home until Im released from my doctor to do other wise. It's a very clean environment.

KELSEY FREY

I can’t thank Squad enough for getting me out of a junk food rut. I was in this vicious cycle of trying to eat healthy then giving up all too quickly. I am thankful for the accountability of this program. I was almost never hungry while still losing weight. The workouts are fun and challenging all at the same time. Since the challenge is over, I will become a member and plan to achieve more goals that I couldn’t do alone. I have created such healthy habits thanks to Squad and plan to continue!

Cameron Scott, II

This has to be one of the best gyms I've ever been apart of. I've done several weight-loss challenges, plans and diets over the years, but this changed my life. I honestly thought that I would not reach my goal. I did not think that I would stay committed and faithful to the program. But, I had an awesome fitness family pushing and pushing and pushing me to fulfill my potential. And for that I am incredibly grateful! Daniel & Brock are the best! They kept me motivated and accountable. I'm a proud Squad Alumnus! #SQUADUP!!! #20lbsdown #25togo -Cameron Wilson

LaTricia Smith

I lost 26.6 lbs on the Squad fitness 6 week challenge! It was great! I am on my way to a healthy lifestyle & better me. I loved this experience! I recommend anyone to give it a try if struggling with weight loss. Romen, Jameson, Rock & Darrell were great trainers!

Cinqua Marzett

This challenge is A M A Z I N G. Did not lose the 20 pounds in 6 weeks but I did lose 14 and I feel great. I’ve never been the healthy fanatic probably the total opposite so I really wasn’t interested in this challenge at first but I was tired of being unhappy with my appearance! I knew something had to change. There were multiple times during this challenge where I wanted to give up and quit but the wonderful staff and members would not let that happen. Doing this challenge, you not only lose weight, but you adapt a healthier lifestyle, gain new friends, listen to awesome music while working out all for the sake of bettering you. You are your own worse critic. If you’re hesitant, don’t be this challenge will get you right in no time.

Squad Fitness is life changing for so many and is truly one of a kind! The Camp's plan is not "gimmicky," but instead, sound. The trainers here have developed a revolutionary training program that not only benefits in effective results when strictly adhered to, but provokes the challengers and the members to form healthy habits without even thinking about it AND creating a lifestyle of fitness rather than a lose-weight-quick scam (only to quickly regain it all back). I personally believe that one of the most effective tools that lies behind Squad Fitness' success is the "unwritten" accountability rule that they've cultivated! Amongst its members, challengers, & trainers, newcomers will quickly learn that The Camp @ Squad Fitness is not some simple business exchange that merely involves the transferring of monies for services; however The Camp @ Squad Fitness is F A M I L Y ! 💞 This training camp is unlike any gym or other fitness program that I've ever been to! The trainers want to help and to see you succeed; your co•laborers on the journey to fitness will be there *rooting for you, helping you until the end! Everyone wants to see the next person win & whether it's to get rid of those unwanted pounds, gain incredible strength, &/ or to develop a habit/ lifestyle of healthy living; this is exactly what we do at Squad Fitness: WE WIN! Most of the team will tell you initially that the less weight that you have to get off, the harder it will be to lose. In 40 days, I released FOURTEEN POUNDS (*HEALTHILY*) and will continue onto my next phase! Several of my close teammates who may have had considerably more weight to release far exceeded 20 lbs. during the challenge (the most within my camp, I learned was 36)! One of my teammates even dropped 12 within his FIRST WEEK! ✔️ Everyone's journey is different & so will be the results. The important thing is to not compare yourself with others & to make sure that you're following the plan so that you will gain from the program. I've gained so much! Again, I WIN! ❤️ #SQUAD_UP!

Lynn Chapman

I love Firm Body Bootcamp! The trainers are great; they really take an interest in each participant. They know what you can do and they push you to be even better. You'll have better overall fitness, muscle tone, and strength and be able to see measurable improvement. Every day is different so you never get bored, and you don't have to think about it-- just show up and you know you're going to get a great workout.

My experience at Squad Fitness (SF) was intense and life-changing. Since I have always wanted to participate in a boot camp experience, my interest was peaked when I saw the SF Challenge on FB. When I attended the informational meeting, I was hooked, and I thought it would be a good way to kick-start the New Year. The first week of the Camp I was so sore that I thought I wouldn’t be able to continue, but here I am still “transforming” my last week. I even completed two workouts in one day on two occasions. The aches and pain have been worth it. I have no regrets. Thanks, Squad Fit Team!

Brian

The Squad program was great to get someone motivated and started with the idea that losing weight takes work, time and eating right. Their program does a great job of keeping you from getting bored with the same workouts time and again and give you something to look forward to. Jameson and Rock are great motivators and really are there to answer all of your questions and help you take your progress to the next stage. You have to remember that with as much work as you put in with the workouts you have to give just as much at home to eat correctly and not give in to the foods that slow your weight loss. Give them all you have and they will return as much or more to you! Great job guys! Brian Rager

Daesy Vences

I made it you guys! I lost 20 pounds thanks to Squad Fitness. I want to say thank you to Brandon and Brock and all the other trainers for being there and pushing me harder than I could sometimes push myself. You guys have helped me begin a journey that I will continue to pursue. The workouts were fun and tested me in all areas! I used to not be able to do a pushup now I can and I can kill those burpees ! lol. I highly suggest becoming part of Squad if you want to see results. Looking forward to continuing my journey in the future with these guys!

Gary Williams

I lost my 20 pounds . Ready to lose another 20. The coaches are great and get you motivated to push yourself. They are always there to help you if needed. Workouts are always different so you don't get bored. I guess my favorite thing is the group atmosphere because working out along is boring. When you leave you feel pumped up and ready to go tackle the rest of your stuff for the day.

DeAndria Lawrence

I want to start this off by saying LIFE CHANGING!!My journey started as I scrolled down my Facebook page and saw a post, “Drop 20 Challenge - Lose 20 lbs in 6 weeks.” I shared the post with my mom, and began to look at the before and after pic’s and reviews. I was sold! I signed my mom and me up, and we went to orientation. Romen said- “This is going to be hard.” I have always been considered overweight, but I thought to myself I’m not a quitter. I can change my life and my families. My first week was a struggle- there were tears and prayers; thank you to all squad trainers for encouraging me throughout this past six weeks. I had to change my way of life, hold myself accountable, and do things that I thought I could never do. Each week I got better and closer to my goal. It doesn’t matter if you’ve worked out every day, or not at all, the challenge is designed where everyone can succeed. My best advice to anyone thinking about trying it out is, don’t think, just do it and don’t stress. WEIGHT LOSS IS NOT A LINEAR PROCESS! Just stay the course and you will be fine. By the way, at my final weigh in I was down 25.4 pounds! I did it. Thank you SQUAD FITNESS!!! Forever life changing!

Rahab G

Coming from a girl who wasn’t working out on the daily, 6 weeks of dedication to a meal plan and workouts at least 4X a week seemed like no easy task, although I had hyped myself up a couple of days before the challenge started so I was ready to go on day 1. The first week was challenging and the soreness was a 15 on a scale of 1-10 and I really questioned if I was cut out for this but as each week went by, I got better and started noticing some positive changes which only pushed me to dig deeper and give 150%. I can’t thank the trainers enough for being so encouraging and pushing me to get better each week. Although I didn’t lose the 20 pounds I set out to lose, I lost 2 dress sizes and several inches all around and gained more confidence and motivation to keep pushing to see more results. I’m not where I want to be, but I’m definitely not where I was 6 weeks ago.

Nikkoll Miller

Everyone is super friendly and dedicated to you being the best you can be! I would recommend this program to anyone who is ready to put in work. It is not easy but you have tons of support from the trainers, the members, and newcomers. You meet cool people and grow closer to your health goals. I did the Drop 20 challenge, and although I did not lose 20 ( I blame it on college/finals) I did lose almost 12 pounds! It was not easy but I finished my six weeks! If you are reading this and are skeptical .Take a chance!

Amy Elliott

2016 has been an eventful year to say the least! One of the brightest spots in my year has been participating in the 6 Week 20lb Challenge with Squad Fitness in Homewood. All of the trainers were fantastic! Brock Edmondson always had a huge grin on his face and lots of encouraging words when we needed them. Daniel Hudson was tough but a great motivator as well. I only had Brandon a couple of times but he has a great attitude and a ton of energy. Mark has WAAAAAY too much energy but not quite as much as Coach G who is in a class all his own. That's because everyone is afraid of him.....he always made me want to hug him because of his infectious attitude but also run him over with my car because of his relentless pushing!!!!! Thanks to all these wonderful men (and Justin Thrasher who was only there for my first couple of weeks) I was able to lose 20 pounds on the nose in 6 weeks. It was a lot of sweat and hard work - I would say I enjoyed every minute but that third day when I couldn't walk was BRUTAL! I didn't gain all this weight overnight so I know I won't lose it overnight. The eating habits I developed from this camp, the exercises I've learned, and the motivation to just get up off my butt and exercise are priceless! Another great thing about this has been the people I've met during the challenge. Some of their names I never learned and some I only met in person once or twice, but we've all shared our journey through Facebook. Greg Stephenson, Bobbie Frost Datcher, Rebecca Stallworth, and Shantrice Allen to name a few. What a great way to end 2016 and a wonderful head start for 2017! May you all have a very Merry Christmas and an outstanding New Year!

When I first saw the advertisement of the challenge I was very excited because as I read it-it was everything I needed. I was especially excited to have someone help me with meal planning and I was under the impression that someone would be monitoring my progress, well for me the nutrition portion of the program in my opinion wasn't what I thought it would be. I made it known to them from the beginning my health issues and I was told by the end of the challenge I probably could come off some of my medication...didn't happen. I actually had a doctor's appointment during the challenge and my blood sugar was very high and my doctor increased my medication. My weight was yo-yoing and I thought by weighing in each week my weight was being monitored. It wasn't until almost week four I was told to cut the carbs and I didn't start really loosing until it was too late. I lost 11lbs. I wasn't too happy with that. Daniel, Mark and Brock were great trainers and true to their calling as trainers. I must say during the challenge I learned a lot about myself and the tools I need to continue this journey of weight loss and eating healthier. Since I left the challenge I'm very careful about my food choices and what I put in my mouth. I feel better. So for those of you who are beginning this next challenge I say to you FTDI but know that there isn't any professional nutritionist on site. Stay on top of it and don't think about getting your money back, think about getting your health back. Squard fitness is a great place and it's not like other gyms but there are a few amenities needed that would make this place over the top. Would I do this challenge again? Yes if the program lived up to all that was advertised.

If you are serious about changing your life join Squad. My strength has changed, my endurance has changed, my mindset has changed... Squad fitness = life change. I decided to get serious.... And as ayu result not only did I meet the challenge but I exceeded it, losing 23lbs! Brock, Daniel, Mark and Rowen at the homewood location are awesome trainers and really care about your well being. They call you by name and really get to know you. Through them I've learned how to manage my food intake and make better food choices. I've NEVER gotten results like this with other programs (and I've tried alot). But most importantly they make it fun!

Zachary Woods

If you want to get into shape then Squad Fitness is the place for you! I wasn't sure at first exactly what I was getting myself into by signing up for this program. I came to find out that it is really quite simple: eating right along with hard work equals results. Brock, Daniel, and Mark are awesome trainers and will get you to where you want to be if you are willing to work for it. At the completion of this 6 week challenge I can honestly say I'm in better shape than I have been in a long time. I highly recommend that you give them a try if you need help getting right!

Carlye Dudgeon

This is a great workout!!! I was in an exercise rut until I found FBBC, and now I look forward to working out. Every class is different, and the trainers are awesome - they know each participant and push us to do our very best. Firm Body is great for people at any fitness level. No matter where you start, you will see great improvement.

Gwendolyn Harris

A little scared thinking I would fail, that the work outs may be hard. But I thought to myself I have nothing to lose but weight and gain more confidence! I needed that PUSH that you want get from a regular gym. I wasn't feeling all that good about the way I looked from the weight I've gained. I was tired and lot and didn't have much energy. If you have kids you need it! But now I feel better I've learned to eat better and think about what I'm putting in my body. The work outside aren't great. You will sweat and sometimes the exercises will burn but that's a good thing that means it's working. The trainers are great they will push you. And make sure you're getting the best out of your work outs. If you're not sure you're doing it right just ask, they'll help. Trust me you will be glad you did it. I promise and you'll feel wonderful in your new body. Most importantly I've have met some of the most amazing group of people. My new #Squadup friends and family. Very supportive and motivating! #championshipmode #squadgoals #gogetyouamembershipnow #forgetthegym #squadfitnessisit #healthyliving #timetogetyoursexyback #newme # newyou #loveyourself #livelonger #enjoylife. I loved it and would recommend anyone to try it. You won't regret it! Just think of why you need to do it and stick with it. It'll gets easier by the week.

Donna Crowder

I started in June with the Camp Challenge in Gardendale! From the minute I did the first workout I loved it! They work with you on nutrition and weight loss. I lost 14 lbs. in 6 weeks! My liver counts which had been high are now dropping! This is just a great total fitness program! I highly recommend this program/life style change!

Deidra Atkinson

The camp challenge is a great way to jump start a commitment to fitness. The coaches are very friendly and encouraging, the workouts will challenge you, and the nutrition plan will definitely help you and others to see the changes you are implementing. Everyone( including myself) who has completed the challenge is proud of their results at the end. And trust me, you will WORK for them. The location is convenient for those along 280 or in Homewood (especially if you commute to/from UAB during the week) and in a safe area. The gym is not your traditional looking one, but it will get the job done and then some.

Jalesia Anderson

This challenge helped me achieve what I have been striving for since like the beginning of time. Through this challenge I was able to lose 19.2 lbs and counting! It took a lot of hard work and determination, but the trainers are there for you. Best gym family there is.

Tonya Balducci

I would recommend the 6 week challenge and Squad Fitness in Homewood to anyone. The workouts are different, get you moving and make you sweat. The trainers are great and the individuals you meet are so encouraging! I lost 22 lbs and 12.5 inches in 6 weeks.

Branda Liberatori

At first I had my doubts about this challenge so much I brought my husband with me. He is not a sucker and he loved this Camp right off the bat. We both took on the challenge and succeeded. We lost a combined weight of 50.4 pounds! If you are looking to have mounds of energy and a clear mind then do this challenge. Join this team of positive, forward thinking trainers; Daniel Hudson, Mark, Roman and Brock. I also met some great friends along the way. I will always remember this time in my life. A time when I started to do something positive for myself!

😕"I think I am going to do this." "Maybe I will be able to do this." ...those phrases turned into "I AM DOING THIS. I CAN DO THIS." 👊I have been the poster child for fad diets and trying workouts for 2.5 weeks and then bailing. I always wound up feeling like a failure and spiraled further into self deprecating depression. I would see my husband diligently go to the gym every day and it would make me more upset with myself that I couldn't or WOULDN'T get it together. Two months ago, I watched a close friend of mine, Brittany Ellard Perryman, soar and succeed in her own weight loss journey at Squad Fitness. I reached out for more information and she supported me wholeheartedly. I never thought that I was cut out for this type of workout setting. Boy, was I wrong. ❤ I LOVE IT!❤ My trainers are amazingly motivating (and only yell words of encouragement 😂). Because of 😓 sweat, determination, and unwavering support from my family, friends (thanks for not offering me cookies at lunch), and my newfound family at Squad Fitness, I was able to lose 21.2 lbs in 6 weeks!😮💪🙌 I have gained more confidence & this is only the start of my journey. I put my prize 💰money back into MYSELF & towards a membership to my new home, Squad Fitness. Thank you all for the encouragement! Now, on to the next 20lbs. 👊

Angelica Motley

It was hard but if you get through it it really pays off. I've gone down a few dress sizes and I'm a lot more energetic. It was fun some days and the trainers will reply to any snark you have with some of their own. The trainers are also extremely nice and they help anytime someone needs them. If you can't do a certain exercise or need some help they will let you do a modified version of it. Overall it was a fun experience and I did it with my mom and it's lightened her mood up to where she's more wanting to do things .

Jessica Bailey

First let me just say that this deserves way more than 5 stars. When I started this Challenge, I never thought that I would make it to the 20 pound goal. After six weeks of pushing myself to my limit and beyond, I amazed myself and exceeded the goal and lost 21.6 pounds. I could not have done this without my amazing trainers, Daniel, Brock, Romen and Mark. These men pushed me outside of what I thought I could do and I got amazing results from it. Not only did I exceed my goal of 20 pounds, I now have a new family. I meet some very amazing people on this 6 week journey in my life and these people helped push me through the times of wanting to quit and give up. I am very sad that this journey is over for me, but I could not be more thankful for the results, friends, family and life style change this has brought me. I will never regret doing this and wish I could do it again.

Rebeccah Carroll

The challenge was amazing! The trainers listen to your fitness needs and push you accordingly. I loved the comradery built in this group setting and I can't image working out in a normal circuit gym again. The results were great - I am stronger, have more energy, and am overall happier! Thanks SQUAD

Greg Stephenson

When I first saw the Camp Challenge ad on FB, I was skeptical of any offer to help "lose 20 lbs in 6 wks" for FREE. I went to the orientation and met Romen and realized there would be coaching, and peer support all along the way. Although I initially thought the exercises were beyond my level of coordination and endurance, Mark and Brock were always there to provide alternatives that enabled me to succeed. The community of Squad Fitness members and other challengers, as well as the incentive to stay focused on the goal was there and it worked for me. In forty days, my 250 lb. Dad bod weighed-in at 222! Thanks SF for helping me hit my goal. Next goal, 200 lbs...stay tuned.

Firm Body Bootcamp is amazing! Everyday is something different. You never get burnt out or bored like with traditional gym routines. I started bootcamp because I needed a drastic life change. I hadn't seen a gym regularly since college and my waistline definitely showed it. Since starting bootcamp I've lost 35lbs and I find myself looking forward to exercising again!!!

Jenna Jenks

They kick your butt, and you dread going, but you feel really good and actually see results within just a short amount of time. The trainers work well with you (I have a bad knee) and give modifed exercises when needed that are still challenging. Better than any other gym experience I've had!

Melissa L.

Love Firm Body Bootcamp!! Tried the two weeks and I was hooked. Trainers are awesome! Love the motivation and the fact that every workout is different...nothing boring here! I am in better shape than I have probably been in years...only wish I had started sooner!!

Abbey Mitchell

Tried a class at Squad last week for the first time and loved it! Knowledgeable staff- made sure everyone had proper body mechanics with everything, and also provided modifications for anyone who needed it. It was a full body workout with a good variety of exercises.

Mahogany Sharunda Conda

I can honestly say my life has changed for the better and I owe it to Squad Fitness! When I came through those doors I felt like the biggest person in the room. They asked 1 question tell us why we should pick you? Here's my response .... I lost both my father's back to back and 1 really bad relationship I turned to food for comfort while I was eating I was loosing me in the process. Till I woke up 1 morning my feet had swollen up my knees were hurting and I was short of breath! I felt bad on the inside my body was hurting, it was a constant struggle with my day to day life! And I was lost until I saw an ad on Facebook about the Camp Challenge. Now who ever reads this please know I spoke with God 1st and ask for help and the will to stand on my faith that I can get through this and keep going afterwards! It was December when I went to the 1st meeting that change my life! I've met beautiful people that are life long friends now! We pushed each other when 1 was down the other lifted us up! They didn't give up, so we didn't give up! Yes Brock, Roman and Daniel will push you, there will be days when you Wanna throw something at them, but then you remember ...You put you here and now it's time to get what God has for you! And that's a healthier You! It's not weight loss! It's weight RELEASE when you loose something you'll find away to get it back! It's not a diet, it's healthier eating so you can live longer ! It's a lifestyle change only for the good! You make 1 step God, the Trainers ,your Teammates, your coworkers, your family and true friends will push you to the end! Would I it do it again? Hell Yeah!!!! I would until I get what's mines a better me! Put positive people around you! Look in the mirror and tell yourself your worth it! I love Squad Fitness!!! They gave me, me back and I'm greatful for it!!!! So I'm staying on to get more off! #lifestylechange #thenewme #newness #notstopping #myfamily #squadup #4life See ya Monday!!!!

Marcus Sharpe

What can I say, this has truly been a LIFE changer for me! Squad Fitness is TRULY what it has represented a SQUAD. Going into this challenge has made me realize that I could not give up another thing in life. I have completed a stepping stone in my LIFE, and guess what ? I lost weight in the process. There were many days that I didn't want to get out of the bed for the 5:15 workout, but you what, I did! If I reach my goal of losing the 20lbs, I want to paved the way for another person to do the same. I have been thinking about blessing someone else to pay their way into the challenge, you know like PAYING IT FORWARD! What do you think? I will pray about it! The workouts were excellent, hard and trying. I DID NOT GIVE UP!!!!!! I thank all of my new friends that I completed this challenge with, without you all I would have not made it!!! THANK YOU! As I sit and look back on this challenge, all of the SWEATY CLOTHES, protein shakes, and motivation. IT WAS ALL WORTH IT! Started back to day 1, I decided then I needed a change, I put my TRUST in GOD and never look back, here as of today 18lbs smaller, everyone has taken notice!!! All of my coworkers and family are like you are SKINNY!!! It felt good for someone to say that and not, Hey BIG GUY!. I enjoyed every moment of this milestone, giving others motivation, and remembering the reason why I was there. IS THE REASON WHY I DIDNT QUIT! Whoever this is for, WHEN YOU FRRL LIKE QUITTING, REMEMBER WHY YOU STARTED!!!! #SQUADUP LOVE YOU GUYS 2016 class!! Marcus, Mahogany , Jamelia, Lewis, Gwen, Leslie, Marcus K. Brie, Chakevia, and many more!!!!!

I took a chance on trying Firm Body Boot camp by purchasing a GROUPON experience. In the beginning, I thought this is not for me. But after I continued to come for the remainder of my GROUPON time, I found that FBBC was just what I needed to get motivated to get move and get in shape. The trainers are competent and Very motivating. I have seen a drastic improvement in my physical appearance and I feel a drastic change in my attitude.

Erica G

I just completed the 6 week challenge I loved the help that the trainers provide they really motivate you to want get in shape. Thank you to Jameson, Rock & Romen!!!! I lost 20.2 lbs on challenge.

ebony bates

I had tried numerous other classes, videos, etc but I found FBBC and there was no other choice. I am stronger, quicker, I have more energy, and most of all I have more confidence. Each class is unique, each trainer is great, and each bootcamper is awesome! If you are looking for a fun while also challenging way to lose weight, I highly recommend FBBC.

Crystal England

I just finished the challenge yesterday and lost a total of 21.2 pounds and 6" off of my waist. It's a great way to get motivated and jump start your way to fitness and a new healthy lifestyle. The workouts are hard and the diet is super strict but if you follow the instructions you will reach your goal. Stay focused and motivated and anything is possible. The trainers are always willing to answer questions and show you the proper technique. I recommend Squad Fitness to anyone that is serious and wants to make a change to not just their body but their entire lifestyle.

Erica Lawson

Squad has a great program designed to achieve results. The coaches are fun and the members are welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend!!

Chris Walling

Best workouts with great trainers. The owner is a phenomenal guy.

Angela Nunn -Duff

This was a phenomenal experience. After signing up for the Squad challenge I joined Squad Fitness in Homewood. In all my years of personal training/weight loss this has been the best experience. In 6 weeks I lost a total of 22.4 lbs with a strategic meal plan and a great work out plan at Squad Fitness. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone who is totally dedicated to making life changing decisions for their health to live a better longer and healthier lifestyle. Even on days that I felt like I could not go on the staff was always encouraging and helpful to keep me on track and stay focused on my ultimate goal. The amazing staff made this process well worth it in the end for reaching my weight loss/healthy lifestyle goals. I have continued the process of what I've learned during this challenge in my everyday life for healthier living.

Lucretia McCarter
