This is not a Crossift gym and doesn’t allow drop ins. Website and Google need to be updated

Can’t tell you what it’s like. I was hoping to drop in for a Crossfit class while in town working. I’m an active member of another gym in my hometown. They don’t allow drop ins. 😕

Highly recommend this gym to anyone, especially if you live in/around downtown Birmingham. Rebellion has one of the best member community. The coaches are amazing and passionate about your progress and well-being. The programming works wonders. The owners knows every member individually and take interest in helping you meet goals. Rebellion has helped me transform from a couch potato to a fitness focused person. Go check it out!

I've been a member here for a little over two years and I can't recommend it highly enough. The programming is custom-built in house to adhere to classical CrossFit-style functional fitness and they work to make sure the class sizes are always manageable. The coaches are knowledgeable, experienced, and very approachable. Last but not least, the community here is amazing: open, welcoming, and supportive. If you're looking for a gym in Birmingham, you should definitely check this place out.

Kyle is an expert in physical fitness, and has built a gym that gives you the kind of 1:1 attention that costs 4-5x his rates anywhere else. I can't recommend this place enough

Alima and Kyle run the best gym. I’ve been a member since about 2015 and I couldn’t be happier with CrossFit Rebellion. Great programming, great coaching, great facilities and a great community. During COVID times they followed all requirements and upon reopening have taken every step to ensure a clean and safe environment.

This is by far the best gym in Birmingham. I’ve been a member here for over 8 years now, and Kyle and Alima do a fantastic job in every sense of the word. They’re dedication to keep the community alive during the shutdown through virtual classes was awesome, as well as making everyone comfortable coming back to the gym after reopening by following all guidelines and doing everything possible to keep all the members safe. I highly recommend coming in for a wod if you’re in Birmingham!

I've been a member at Crossfit Rebellion for six years! Prior to joining CFR, I never stayed at any gym more than a year or two. The programming is perfect. The coaches are knowledgable and helpful for all skill levels. And the community is the best in the world. I've made amazing friendships that have carried to my life outside of the gym.
Crossfit Rebellion has my absolute highest recommendation. Working out at Rebellion is the highlight of my day every single day.
Additional Info: They have been extremely diligent during the Covid outbreak. I am being extremely cautious and they have done everything right to make me feel safe and protected. Everything is sanitized hourly and all classes are safely social distanced.

Great gym with great coaches. I've been a member since around 2012 and it's the only gym I've enjoyed enough to keep coming back. The programming is challenging but thoughtful, and can be tailored to any fitness level. The coaches really care about the well-being of the members and take time during every class to go over proper form and techniques to reduce risk of injury. Even though they were closed during the COVID pandemic (along with most of the country), they posted home workouts and provided a live option via Zoom to keep the community active. Since the state has allowed gyms to re-open, they have taken every precaution to sanitize equipment and work stations between every class as well as restrict class sizes to allow social distancing. Although uncertainty is the new norm, I feel confident that the gym is one of the cleanest places I regularly visit. CFR has felt like a home and has positively impacted me in more ways than I can name.

I've been a member of CFR for a few years now, and I can not sing enough praises for this place or the people that run it. Kyle and Alima and the rest of the coaching staff are amazing. They emphasize correct form and fun and the whole place has the most warm and welcoming hometown gym feel. They've helped me personally through injury, life circumstances, and range of motion issues. They also keep things interesting and challenging with a variety of workout programming and nutrition challenges. CrossFit and HIIT workouts get a bad rap for being too extreme, but every movement in every workout is scalable to your own personal fitness level. Can't do push ups? There's a fix for that. Can't do pull ups? There's a fix for that too. Have an issue like plantar faciitis? There are plenty of non running/jumping options for you too!
AND if you're concerned about working out and staying healthy during this pandemic, seriously consider joining this gym. In contrast to big box gyms, CFR has limited class sizes to 12 so there is plenty of space to work, equipment is sanitized between each class, and the building itself has 4 massive roll up garage doors to provide ventilation and fresh air. In addition to all the precautions in place to keep everyone safe, a Home Workout of the Day is provided along with regular programming for those members not comfortable with in-person workouts.
So are you looking for a gym to call home in Birmingham? Do you enjoy supporting local small businesses? Seriously just give it a try and see what you think! It's the most fun you'll ever have pushing your body to get stronger, better, and fitter.

CFR is such a great gym. I’ve been working out here for the past 2+ years in order to train for my future in the Navy. Alima and Kyle are incredibly welcoming, fun, accommodating, and professional. During the COVID-19 quarantine, in which the gym was closed, they created home WODs with online streaming access. Now that the governor has allowed the opening of gyms, CFR has been very strict in its high standards of cleanliness in order to protect all of its members. I’m so grateful to be a part of this family!!! No one should hesitate to drop-in or join here!

Best gym I have ever been a part of by far! I have been a member since testing out the gym in April of 2018. I was new to CrossFit when I tried out the gym and I was given one on one instruction on the movements to ensure that I knew how to complete the workout effectively and safely.
I quickly realized that I hadn’t just joined a gym, but a community. All of the coaches are so great at instructing the movements or suggesting ways to scale or modify as needed. They went above and beyond this year when they made the difficult decision to close their doors before the mandatory shut down and switched to virtual workouts to keep us moving and fit at home until it was safe to return to the gym!
Highly recommend!!

CFR is my home box! Alima and Kyle have been so accommodating to my personal fitness level and work with everyone to help them meet their fitness goals. I was there for ~15 months before moving to Chicago this summer. They go out of their way to make sure you feel at home in their gym.
As a result of the pandemic, Alima and Kyle shut down the gym on their own before they were even forced to by the state of Alabama. They also didn’t reopen until well after they were given the go ahead. Taking extra time to think on how they were going to proceed the safest. They have followed all of the mandatory capacity and cleaning restrictions. They have taken extra precautions us safe (completely sanitizing the gym after ever session, capping each class to a certain amount of people, distancing, etc.)
I don’t write many review, but I HIGHLY and STRONGLY recommend this gym to everyone of all ages and fitness levels!

CFR is much more than a gym it’s a community and a family that has common goals of fitness and health in mind. All of the coaches are great at offering advice and attention to detail to people of a skill levels. The best thing has been the ability to adapt during the pandemic in offering home workouts to keep member safe until we were capable of returning. Great people all around.

Falsely accused my wife of lying; She called them out for being opened during the pandemic. The denied the accusations we saw with our own eyes. Will not ever recommend a company like this. Reported to BBB

A gym that places the focus on the member. Whatever your skill level you have a place at Rebellion. It's been great to be a member here. It's more than just a gym, it's a community. One that my family and I are proud to be a part of.

This gym makes you feel welcome regardless of ability. Once you spend a little bit of time with the coaches and regulars, you really start to feel like family. That's my favorite thing about the gym.
Kyle and Alima (the owners) and all the coaches are passionate about fitness and being there consistently. Same coaches since October 2015 and they never seem to go on vacation. Prices are reasonable for a Crossfit gym.
What else can you say? Just come give it a try for a week or two and try and talk to people. You'll love it.

Best crossfit gym in town. The coaches, the gym, the members . . . I️ can’t say enough about It. I️ have been a member at CFR for almost 4 years now. In those 4 years, the workouts have constantly varied. The curriculum is so well thought-out. 4 years in and I️ still get excited to see what tomorrow’s WOD will be 🙂 The coaches are great and have helped me tremendously through the years to reach my goals and encourage me. I️ actually look forward to going to the gym everyday, not only for the workout but to see the other gym members that I️ have met over the years and now consider friends. CFR is a wonderful community that I’m proud to be a part of.

Wow, as far as gyms go, it doesn't get much better than CFR. Kyle and Alima (and all of the other coaches) are very friendly and professional, and made me feel right at home when I was ready to start working out again. I couldn't ask for anything more from my neighborhood gym!
AKA if you wanna get ripped go here

After 8 months at CFR I can highly recommend it! I was always intimidated by CrossFit (and, frankly, CrossFit people) but Kyle and Alima make it feel like a small neighborhood gym. They go out of their way to coach you by making sure you do the movements correctly and don’t injure yourself doing something sloppy while trying to do it too quickly. I’ve made a lot of progress since joining due to their great programming and coaching. Definitely a great place!

I have been a member at CFR for four years now and working out with this crew has become the highlight of my day. The owners, Kyle and Alima, have taught me how to train smart through their extensive knowledge on proper movement instruction and precise nutrition counseling. Their programming is extremely well thought out to accommodate all fitness levels and they foster such a friendly and supportive environment that its impossible to not feel welcomed there. Without a doubt, five stars!

I have been a member of this gym for a little over a year and have loved every single minute of it. My only regret is that I didn’t give them a try sooner. The hands on technique and movement instruction, the focus on nutrition and mobility, and the balanced and well thought out WOD programming are all top notch. The owners, Kyle and Alima, are phenomenal people and still actively coach most classes throughout the week. Great comminity of members as well. Five stars, hands down!

I like to call myself the "least likely Crossfitter" but I've been going to Rebellion for over 4 years now. I like the constant variation in programming so that I don't get bored, and I love that the environment is great for both fitness fanatics and people like me who are just trying to maintain their health. Plus the membership fee is unlimited, and I have no idea why you'd pay more somewhere else for the same amenities offered here!

I've been a member at Crossfit Rebellion for three years. After trying several Crossfit gyms, Rebellion is absolutely the best in Birmingham. The programming is challenging but logical, the coaches are excellent, and the environment is supportive and encouraging.
My one hour at Rebellion is the best hour of my day every day.
