This fitness center offers a practical and energizing workout environment designed to support a range of exercise routines. The space is immediately distinguished by its bold color scheme, featuring vivid teal and lime green accent walls that create a motivating atmosphere against a neutral drop-tile ceiling fitted with recessed fluorescent lighting. Durable dark rubber flooring with interlocking mat sections covers the entire workout area, providing both safety and comfort underfoot. A large window along one wall allows natural light to filter in, offering views of surrounding greenery and contributing to an open, airy feel. A full-length wall mirror on one side of the room visually expands the space and allows users to monitor their form during exercise. Equipment includes an elliptical trainer and a weight bench with an attached resistance system for strength training. A free weight station features a tiered dumbbell rack with multiple weight options, accompanied by a stability ball and a body weight scale. A wall-mounted flat-screen television provides entertainment during workouts, while a standing fan ensures air circulation throughout the room. A rack of medicine balls rounds out the strength training offerings. The overall layout is efficiently organized, making the most of the available footprint while keeping the space accessible and easy to navigate.

Five Points South wraps around the University of Alabama at Birmingham with the UAB Campus Green sitting in the heart of the neighborhood. The south end of the neighborhood contains the Vulcan Park and Museum and the Vulcan Walking Trail, while the north end contains Railroad Park Foundation and Regions Field. Five Points South is a historic district that was founded in 1893. It is considered the city’s food hub and is home to top restaurants like Bottega and Highlands Bar and Grill – winner of the James Beard Award.
As Birmingham’s entertainment district, Five Points South provides more than historic architecture, great food, and an energetic student vibe. You’ll also discover a variety of shops, coffee houses, the Abroms-Engel Institute for the Visual Arts, and a variety of festivals and events. Five Points South is very walkable and students often walk to and from class. Be sure to stop by the Storyteller fountain, created by local artist Frank Fleming.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
