Welcome to The Pound in Trussville Alabama. You belong here.
The Pound is a place “where strays come to find a home” and our community believes in creating an environment where you can do just that.
The workouts will be tough, but misery loves company and you’ll never suffer alone.
Whether you’ve worked out your whole life or you’re starting at square one, our program is scalable to meet you where you’re at.
Our two-part program will provide you with everything you need to reach your goals. First we lift, then we exercise our fitness.
We understand how intimidating it can be to get started on a new fitness journey. That’s why we have cultivated a community that is here to build you up and walk with you as you work towards your goals.
Taylor & Taylor started The Pound Fitness and Barbell because they saw a need in the community for a space that was welcoming to everyone and offered a progressive and scalable strength and conditioning program. Girl Taylor’s 8+ years of coaching and programming experience as well as her time as a high-level athlete is reflected in programming and coaching style. We built this family with you in mind.
What’s most important to us, is that you understand and FEEL these 3 words when you walk through our doors: You Belong Here. No matter where you come from or where you’re going, there’s a paw print waiting for you.
How do I sign up for a no-sweat intro?
Schedule your no-sweat intro with us by filling out the contact form with all of your details, and we will contact you to schedule your no-sweat intro.
How long does it take to see results?
Results take time, but if you’re consistent, they will come. If you are a beginner, results will come fairly quickly; even in only 30 days, you may start to see a difference in your strength and overall fitness.
Do I get the chance to meet new friends?
Yes. We like to organize our fitness classes into small groups, as this allows you to meet others.
What sets you apart from other gyms?
We are a community of people that share the same fitness journey as you. We are here to build each other up - if you win, we all win.
How often do you recommend coming to workout classes?
If you are a beginner, we recommend starting with 2 to 4 classes a week, with the goal of working up to 5 a week after your first few months. It may take a while for your body to get used to training at that intensity, so listen to your body and know you will need recovery time between training days.
Do you provide free refreshments there?
We have filtered water available to our members. Other snacks and drinks are available for purchase.
Do I have to be fit to join?
No! No matter what your current fitness level is, we have the fitness program that is right for you. Every workout is designed to help you succeed, improve fitness, and move you toward your goals. Our program is designed for universal scalability, making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience.
What payment methods do you accept?
We take all major credit cards and debit cards. We do not accept personal checks.
What kind of exercises can I expect during a workout?
Our class programming will include a strength portion in which you’ll work on something like Olympic weightlifting, deadlifting, squatting, or bodyweight strength or you may work on a skill like handstand push-ups. After the strength or skill portion of the class is complete, most days will involve a workout that was programmed for that specific day. Workouts can be anywhere between 5 to 20 minutes or more.
Do I have to stop eating my favorite foods to be healthy?
No! A healthy lifestyle has to be manageable and realistic for the long term. Do enjoy special indulgences and meals! The healthier you are, the healthier you tend to want to eat. You get hooked on feeling good, and junk food just isn’t worth it. By avoiding excessive amounts of refined carbohydrates and measuring your intake of protein, carbohydrates, and fat, you will see dramatic, measurable increases in health.
