I can’t say enough good things about this gym. If you’re looking to challenge yourself and see real change while being supported and encouraged, this is your place. The classes are fantastic, but they’re just one the part of it. There’s also a loving, inclusive community that holds one another up and makes it their mission to do good inside their walls, and outside of them too. If you want personal growth that you can see and feel good about, look no further. This is your gym and these are your people.

Thank you, Alison for an amazing experience today! Thank you for opening your studio to high school students from the Alabama School of Math and Science! We had an amazing time! You, Katy, and your members were very friendly, supportive, and welcoming to my students! We enjoyed the challenging and fun Barre+ workout! Thank you again!

Mission Fitness is such a unique place -- it's the first gym that I've ever belonged to that I would consider as so much more than a gym. I go to classes for my mental/emotional health as much as my physical fitness.

It is very rare to find a gym where you feel like you fit in from the moment you arrive. The owner quite literally introduces new members to all classmates and welcomes them with open arms! Usually with a 2 pound weight in hand, but, it's a gym, so I would expect nothing less. Regardless, the atmosphere, challenging classes and community feel makes working out feel less like a chore and more like a joy; always something to look forward to!

I'd been searching for a studio that offers a variety of classes and has a welcoming and inclusive environment. Mission Fitness is just what I was looking for! Alison made me feel right at home as did the others in the class. I appreciate that I was asked individually about any injuries prior to class and provided with modifications.
It's been quite some time since I've done group fitness but the class was small enough that it didn't feel intimidating and I was able to keep up/take it a little slower if I felt I needed it. I took a Core Reform class and am looking forward to trying some of the other classes!

I never thought I would be one for group fitness classes, but let me tell you, Mission has been one of the greatest decisions I've made. I joined soon after moving to Mobile a year ago, and it's become such a welcoming place with friendly people for me day after day. I am more confident, feel better, and enjoy life more when I'm coming here consistently. Mission makes workouts approachable, and the instructors help you tailor the workout to your own fitness level. They push you to do YOUR best. I'm so very grateful for Mission.

I was in town from NYC for the holidays and was looking for a boutique class option for the week. I am so happy I stumbled upon Mission Fitness! I took a barre class and their weight lifting class called Powerhouse. They were both such great workouts! Both instructors (Melissa & Katy) were friendly, knowledgeable and so welcoming. I couldn’t believe how tight knit the members were - chatting with me before and after class, having fun energy during the class, and just overall the vibes were great! The studio was clean and well equipped. I have already recommended that my mom, who is 70 years old, try it out! I will certainly be coming back every time I’m in town!

This is a great gym! It offers a variety of different types of classes including on demand and self led classes if you can’t make it to one of the group fitness classes. I highly recommend making it to a group class though because the instructors are fantastic. I live out of town and look forward to coming here every time I visit Mobile.

I can't recommend Mission Fitness enough! This woman-owned gym has truly redefined what a welcoming and inclusive fitness space can be. From the moment I walked in, I felt supported and motivated by the amazing staff and members. It's not just about getting fit here – it's about building community and lifting each other up.
Mission fosters a positive and empowering environment for people of all ages and fitness levels, making everyone feel seen and capable of achieving their goals. The instructors are not only highly skilled but also incredibly encouraging, challenging you to be your best while ensuring you feel confident every step of the way.
What really sets Mission apart is its commitment to the local community. They host quarterly events to raise awareness and funding for important causes, using fitness as a platform to give back. It’s inspiring to see a business that truly cares about making a difference, in the health and wellness of its members and in the local community.
If you're looking for a gym that’s more than just a place to work out – a gym that makes you feel like you belong and helps you thrive– this is the place. It’s a supportive, motivating, and inclusive space where every person is valued.

This place has saved my life and so many others. I believe in it so much that I pay for a full membership for my entire staff to go. The variety of classes, the integrity of the owner and instructors, the quality of service cannot be measured. Mission is the real deal on every level. Ten out of ten recommend!!

I joined Mission in 2021 when I first moved back to Mobile and have stayed a member ever since. Walking into Mission feels like a warm hug after a long day. The instructors and members are a family here and care about you as a person, no matter how many classes I have skipped. Our membership is diverse in every way, and it feels good to give back to the community. At a minimum, my membership payments here give back to the community but there are always opportunities to give more. We have a voice in the charities chosen by being able to vote. The fitness challenges here keep me motivated and we encourage each other. The community Alison has created and fostered here extends outside the walls of this gym. We support, network, encourage, grieve, laugh and more. I have never been part of another gym like this. I even had my birthday party here one year. Mission makes me feel accepted and empowered while living in a place and working in a profession where I don’t always feel that, and I would recommend trying at least one class. That’s all it took for me!

MISSION is my favorite place to be. From the second I step foot in the door, I feel so loved and welcomed. No matter what kind of day I’m having, or if I just got off a rough shift at the hospital, MISSION helps me keep going and I always leave feeling so much better than I arrived. Alison, the owner + founder, is not only a wonderful Pilates + Barre instructor, but she is a true gift to the city of Mobile and all who are lucky enough to meet her! Not only do I come to MISSION every week with my sister, but I’ve also brought tons of friends and did a private with all of my siblings for Xmas! MISSION is the biggest blessing in my life and you’re missing out if you haven’t given it a shot!

Mission is just a phenomenal place! The staff and members are so positive and supportive of each other. The classes and methods are unique. They have Pilates reformers, water rowers and bikes - with fusion style classes that sometimes incorporate all three! If you've never been on a Pilates reformer, here's your chance for something new, different and challenging to add to your health and fitness journey. Mission also offers complimentary child care during many of their classes. The child care team is outstanding and they love the babies and kiddos so much! You can feel really confident leaving your little one with them during your class. Mission is always sparkly clean and all the equipment is top notch! Open gym is part of the package - and if you're not sure what to do on your own, they always have suggested work-outs posted in the studio. They also offer personal training and semi-private training, so if you want some one-on-one attention, or to be in a small group, you're all set at Mission! If you are tentative about getting started, this is your place! You will be welcomed by everyone. I've made some really great friends there! They also do incredible work to support non-profits in their community - truly amazing! I am so thankful that Mission Fitness exists and that I get to be a part of it. It's my favorite place! Just do it!

I have been apart of the mission family for a year now. Everyone is incredible! The environment is both fun and motivating. I truly enjoy working with the kids and participating in the classes! The gym is always well-maintained, and you can definitely feel like you’re getting great value for your money. If you're in need of a gym with great childcare, I highly recommend Mission Fitness!

I'm so happy to have found Mission Fitness after moving to Mobile. I make my living as a personal trainer and fitness instructor, and sometimes this means that working out is not exactly the first thing I am most excited to do when I am not working. I purchased the membership at Mission Fitness with the hope that the financial commitment would encourage me to be accountable to myself.
Turns out the classes are amazing! First and foremost, the instructors and staff members are warm, friendly, knowledgeable and accessible. I appreciate that there is a common theme of encouraging clients to listen to our own body and adapt anything to best fit where we are on our own movement journey. The variety of classes is great and I really appreciate that Mission offers some 30 and 45-minute classes. I look forward to visiting the studio and miss it when my schedule prevents me from attending my favorite classes.

As the oldest member (72 years young!) MF keeps me on my toes! The classes are challenging and FUN. Working out with younger women keeps me motivated. This is a caring and all-inclusive space that offers a wide variety of classes. No matter your age or fitness level - just get yourself there and you will see results!!!

I couldn’t love a place more. After graduating college, I wanted to find somewhere that wasn’t just a gym but genuinely made me feel good about myself and my fitness journey. Three years and two moves later, I still find myself coming back to Mission every single time.
The workout is incredible—HARD in the best way—and unlike anything I’ve ever done (plus, the playlists are 🔥🔥🔥🔥). But honestly, it’s the people who make this place as special as it is. I’ve never felt more included, seen, and valued.
I’ve recommended Mission to so many friends who have joined and LOVED it, and I’m sure you will too. Take it from someone who lives 13 hours away but keeps her Mission membership no matter where she lives—THIS IS THE PLACE.

In the words of my 8 year old son who has been tagging along with me to Mission since he was 2: “It is an awesome fitness studio. Everyone is super nice and always friendly, like beautiful social butterflies. They take great care of the kids in the kids’ room. I wouldn’t want to go to any other fitness studio.”

Mission has been apart of my life since before I can remember. I have never once had a bad experience with members, classes, or our community. I couldn’t imagine my life without the connections I’ve made here. Moreover, the growing love I have for fitness when I attend classes.

As a newer member of Mission, I am thoroughly impressed with the class variety, options for class times and most importantly, the diversity of the staff and members of the studio. From day one, I noticed how warm the members were to each other and how kind and outgoing the owner is. A big bonus - they offer childcare which is hard to find these days. This is a really great community of movers to be apart of. Mobile is lucky to have the Mission team. I wish I’d found Mission sooner!

I was a founding member and went for many years. It used to be a great gym with awesome instructors and members that cared about fitness and each other. Now, it is judgey, severe, and WORST OF ALL it isn’t even a good workout. Save yourself.

I feel healthier, stronger, and more energetic all due to Mission Fitness. It’s a place that makes you enjoy and want to work out. The variety of and in the classes is also keeping my mind active and engaged. I never get bored. They have anything and everything you could want: rowing, cycling, Pilates, barre, yoga, and more. I feel encouraged and supported, and it’s just fun! Many classes are streamed over Zoom if you need to work out from home or out of town. There are open gym hours to work out on your own schedule and personal training available. Making this investment in my life and health is one of the best and smartest things I’ve done. Hope to see you there in the new year!

The support we as members have received during this time is phenomenal. Mission Fitness has gone above and beyond the call of duty to make access to classes and equipment possible and easy. The online courses have great variety and are hard. Live stream or recorded they are challenging but doable at home or wherever you happened to be quarantined
