It’s that time of year when resolutions are everywhere—but what if you focused instead on building healthy habits that truly fit your life?
Experts agree that building healthier habits that work for you and align with your values are keys to crafting behaviors that stick long past January.
When it comes to fitness, that starts with activities and support that feel fun, rewarding and easy to maintain.
We found the perfect place to bring it all together at the new Onelife Fitness in McCalla. See how this state-of-the-art but affordable fitness center offers the amenities, equipment and expertise for a healthier, happier you in 2026—and for years to come.
Resolve to: Find strength in numbers
If you’re beginning from the beginning when it comes to fitness, there’s no need to let that slow you down: Just get moving.
The many group fitness classes at Onelife are a great place to start. Just a few of their diverse options include:
- Move Signature: Work on mobility+ flexibility. It’s a great foundation for fitness and improved health.
- Aqua Zumba: Combine your favorite dance moves with a water workout that’s easier on joints + just plain fun.
- Cycling: Many options available, including some that pair pedaling with bodyweight exercises
- Gentle movement: Barre, Pilates + yoga modalities for all skill levels
- Senior specials: Whether on your feet, in the pool or seated for chair yoga, these classes are fun for all ages.
If one-on-one motivation is more your thing, there are many helpful trainers available to guide you, and all membership levels include two Smart Start Training Sessions. Find the class schedules and descriptions for the McCalla branch of Onelife here.
Resolve to: Give yourself permission to rest + recover

If you’re looking for a reward to entice you to complete a workout, look no further than the many recovery benefits that come with a Onelife premier and Strike membership. We tried—and loved!—features like:
- HydroMassage
- Red light therapy
- Normatec Compression therapy
- Hypervolt percussion therapy
Resolve to: Find a facility that’s affordable, clean + convenient
Not only does this just-opened, 58,000-square-foot facility offer an abundance of classes, recovery opportunities and friendly experts to guide your fitness journey, they’ve got tons of equipment, an indoor pool and hot tub so you can sit back and soak in your success.
The new Onelife location—Alabama’s first!—is conveniently located in McCalla’s Colonial Promenade Tannehill shopping complex just off of 459 past Hoover. An additional location is coming to Lee Branch in late summer, too!
