Don’t let the holidays get you down with a few of Birmingham’s newest gyms including Nexus Fitness
The holidays can be tricky and all the focus on food can be overwhelming for some, but there’s always a new day to get out there and try our best, to become our best selves.
Birmingham has so many unique gyms that focus on building endurance and community. We wanted to share with you a few of the newest additions to the Birmingham gym fam.

Unconventional Gyms
For some of us, traditional ways of working out don’t make the cut. For the adventurous, creative type we have a few other suggestions to help get that festive energy out.
