I came to Fit Facility after experiencing a major head trauma that left me facing significant challenges with strength, balance and flexibility. From the beginning, Jamie created a safe, supportive, and judgment-free environment where I could push myself both mentally and physically.
After several months of consistent effort and guidance, I can truly say that the investment has been life changing. My strength and balance have improved dramatically, and I feel more flexible than I have in years. Just as importantly, I’ve reached a much healthier mental space, more confident in myself and the path I’m on.
I’m deeply grateful to Jamie for his kindness, expertise, and unwavering dedication to my journey of self-improvement.

The Fit Facility is a solid spot if you're looking to level up. Jamie does an awesome job meeting people where they’re at, and helps them grow so they can train with confidence, even alongside more advanced folks. His background in functional strength training brings something special to the Florence area. Whether you’re trying to boost your performance or just become a better version of yourself, The Fit Facility is where you want to be.
I have had elbow pain for years and with his help in strengthening it's literally gone. His attention to detail and seeing what you are doing wrong provided me the answers I needed to solving that issue.

When I joined The Fit Facility after COVID, I was the heaviest I had ever been—almost 260 pounds. Jamie immediately saw what I needed. He worked with me, related to my struggles, and helped me create a plan that worked for me. That plan led to me losing 50 pounds and becoming the best version of myself.
Jamie is incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and truly gifted when it comes to fitness, health, and the science behind it all. Now, The Fit Facility is my home away from home. I’ve made amazing friends, built a lifestyle around health and wellness, and even hold the title as the only person Jamie couldn’t beat on the 2-mile bike test!
I can’t recommend this place enough—whether you’re just starting or looking to push yourself further, The Fit Facility is where you need to be!

I've battled chronic joint and muscle pain since birth and have had some debilitating back injuries the past few years. This has kept me in constant pain and I've been paranoid of hurting myself just doing mindless, everyday tasks. Thus, I was too afraid to get in the gym, even though I knew it would improve my health. Catch-22. My wife has been faithfully working out with Jamie at FIT for a couple of years and I finally made the decision to get up and go myself, setting aside my fears.
From day one, Jamie tailored the workouts to make sure I could be success and not hurt myself. I was fragile and weak, but immediately felt improvement. Jamie is an expert in his field and is the best coach I could ask for. The workouts are so impactful and full-body. It's not CrossFit or HIIT. It's practical and customizable and I'm always blown away at how the workouts target muscle groups I didn't even know I had. I feel motivated and look forward to every workout - something I never thought was possible.
It's been six months from me starting at absolute zero and I am now in the best shape of my life, seeing visible results in my physique, and my mental health has improved. While I still have my chronic pains and back issues, my body has greatly changed for the better and getting in the gym has been the best decision I could have made. The community at FIT is extremely positive and inclusive. No egos or self consciousness. My wife and best friend are there and it's just a blast to push ourselves and better our lives together. I'll never go anywhere else as long as FIT is in town.

It’s NOT crossfit! As a former collegiate athlete, I was very hesitant to start working out after 20 years of avoiding the gym! But with the physical demands of my job I was finding it very difficult to make it through my work day without joint pain and stiffness. I started at Fit Facility almost a year ago and in this short time many of my of my daily aches and pains have dissipated! Not to mention my mobility has improved drastically making my workday less stressful on my body. My strength, mental clarity and sleep have all improved as well!
Jamie designs each workout so that any one of any ability can participate! 11/10 would recommend for anyone! Next bring a friend week, come on! Try it out, you won’t regret it!

I started going to Fit Facility in October of 2022. I was an athlete throughout high school and have worked out consistently since college. I’ve never seen actual, consistent improvement with anything else that I’ve done. I’m almost 38, and I’m stronger and have better mobility now than I ever have. I struggled with neck pain for over 15 years and was barely able to lift 5lb dumbbells over my head during that time. Now, I regularly press 35lb kettlebells overhead with no pain.
Jamie is the smartest and most effective trainer I’ve ever worked with. He’s encouraging and pushes you in the best way. Safety and proper form are always first, and he works us through different movement patterns to build strength, even if you aren’t ready to increase weight yet so you’re always improving.
I tell everyone to come work out with me, and now we have a whole crew that comes for strength training 3 times a week. The atmosphere and support experienced at Fit is unmatched.

Before joining the Fit Facility, I was a group exercise leader for 15 years. I was stepping away from this role and wanted it find a great workout program made sense with a supportive environment. I went to several different gyms but landed here. Why? Because Jamie knows what he is doing. These aren’t classes that someone pulled from Pinterest but a well designed program that works the entire body at everyone’s level each time. I am so excited and encouraged at the progress I’ve made including being able to do pull ups for the first time in my life and bench pressing over 100#. If you’re looking for a place to gain life long results, it’s here.

I really enjoy and appreciate training with Jamie. I consider myself very motivated and self disciplined, but everyone can utilize accountability in their lives. Safety is of no concern with his knowledge, which is something most trainers lack. And…..I’m seeing healthy results….losing weight, have gotten in respectable shape, and feel GREAT overall!

I’ve been training with Jamie at the Fit Facility for a little less than a year. I hired him first as a personal trainer and, after about six months, transitioned to a mixture of personal and group training. Jamie is, hands down, one of the best coaches in the Shoals. As a personal trainer, he is dedicated to helping his clients meet their goals. Some days that looks like him pushing you to go harder; some days it’s telling you it’s time for a break and reminding you how far you’ve come. Coaching is clearly his passion.
I have been even more impressed by Jamie’s small-group sessions. They are an excellent example of his quality over quantity mindset. The Fit Facility is smaller than some other gyms in town, and I personally believe that’s part of what makes it great. Jamie is intentional to create programming appropriate for a wide variety of abilities where every minute is useful. He gets to know you and, even in a group setting, you get high-quality, personal attention.
I highly recommend the Fit Facility! Since working with Jamie, my pain and tendency to get injured (I’m clumsy) is at its lowest since my twenties and my overall strength has surpassed my expectations!

I’ve been going to the Fit Facility since it first opened. I have moved out of state a couple of times for work and each time I miss this gym. Jamie is a dedicated and friendly coach who goes above ans beyond to help you meet your goals and gain confidence. The gym fosters a great sense of community and we often celebrate eachother’s wins.

I've been a member at the FIT Facility since they opened. Jamie is absolutely wonderful and the program design is awesome. As a 63 year old I am able to do things physically that I struggled with before jointing.
I have also observed the implentation of his athletic training for youth development and the before and after is amazing for young athletes

Fit Facility came highly recommended to my daughter and now I know why. Jamie helped my daughter to bounce back after ACL surgery. She is stronger and faster. He has restored her confidence and has her physically ready to play at the next level. The best experience!!!

In May of 2020, I decided to reach out to the Fit Facility to help guide me in my health and fitness goals based on the recommendation of a colleague. I decided to do a personal training option rather than the group classes, and I thoroughly enjoy it. I average about 3 PT sessions a week, and I look forward to going each time. I can physically see the progress, and I’m motivated each time I go. Jamie does a great job at creating an environment that welcomes all walks of life and he is adaptable. He communicates how to do the exercises effectively, and provides appropriate feedback when necessary to reduce the risk of injury. If you are serious about a lifestyle change, this is the place to go!

I've been to a number of gyms in the past several years and I can say without a shadow of a doubt, the Fit Facility is the best experience in a gym I've ever had. The owner Jamie Dixon is a former UNA Lions football player with experience both on and off the field and harbors an immense knowledge not only on proper lifting techniques, but on the sciences behind those movements. Further, he's the only trainer I've seen that is equally as excited to see your progression in the gym as you are and will actively fight to ensure that you succeed. I've made incredible gains in my six months of attending morning classes and I've seen some incredible transformations from others in the classes. He works with you and provides tons of nutrition information to supplement his program as well.
If you're on the fence attend one of the free classes and see for yourself. The workouts aren't easy, but if you genuinely care about making changes in your health and happiness, this is the place to be.
