True40 Studio Birmingham

Hands down my favorite workout in Birmingham! The BEST workout for any stage of life, but it has truly helped rebuild my muscles postpartum. I can’t recommend enough for pregnancy and pp. They offer constant modifications to protect any injury or discomfort you experience. And the modifications are still making you stronger!

The entire experience from when you walk through the door is absolutely amazing and unheard of in the fitness world. It’s community over competition mindset. Kaitlyn, Sydney, Rebecca and the team are the kindest and most encouraging people.

Kaitlyn, the owner teaches weekly and always makes herself available to her clients and their needs! Sydney, the studio manager//coo, also teaches weekly and makes everyone feel so welcomed and loved! Rebecca is their administrative queen and loves on my twins while I get my workouts in!

If you’re on the fence, give it a try and you will not be disappointed! I can’t imagine not having True40 in my life. You’ll feel the same too🤍

I love this community, and I’ve never felt stronger or more in tune with my body. As a women’s health NP, I can’t recommend True40 enough to female patients across all stages of life!

Great workouts for everyone! Every instructor is knowledgable and friendly, the music is great, and the atmosphere is non-judgmental.

I started going to True40 last fall as a part of the Wellness Passport. I visited gyms all over Birmingham and none of them had the sense of community that True40 does. It also has the best combination of both cardio and strength, always being so mindful of how each move might feel different for each body and creating a space where modifications are encouraged. And hear me when I say this, the modifications are NOT a cop out! They are equally challenging moves and the instructors make sure clients know the difference between something that doesn’t feel good because our body is hurting and something that doesn’t feel good because it is hard and our body is changing for the better. I feel more educated on when to take the modifications and when to push myself. I always leave feeling like I’ve truly honored my body and look forward to my next workout!

Other than Pilates, I gave up on group fitness classes after a CrossFit injury that required significant surgery in 2014. Recently I decided to try a class at True 40 looking for the low impact that Pilates provides, but more cardio. I am not very coordinated or athletic by nature, so I was quite humbled by my first class. Now I am almost 2 months in and couldn’t be happier at True 40! The studio is beautiful, the instructors and staff are so kind and welcoming. I feel very comfortable here and that’s saying a lot!

True40 provides great workouts -- and even more are body positive and encouraging. I appreciate how they encourage you to listen to your body, take modifications when needed, but still motivate you to push yourself in a healthy way. As someone who is also postpartum, these workouts have helped me strengthen my body in ways that support my overall health and healing.

I love that you get a full body workout from every class. (And you always know how hard you worked because you can feel it the next day.) The instructors are so welcoming and make an effort to make everyone feel comfortable and included. My only gripe is that I wish the studio space was bigger!

My favorite workout ever! After an hour at True40 I always leave feeling stronger, encouraged, and refreshed! Every workout is consistently challenging and works to strengthen the entire body, yet offers a variety of postures to keep the hour engaging and fun! Every workout can be catered to specific needs and age groups- offering you a great workout at your own level. This community of people has taught me to honor and celebrate my body because of all it allows me to do each day- not because of a number on a scale. I am forever grateful for this place and how it has impacted my life!

Beautiful studio with wonderful teachers! Everyone is very welcoming and the workouts are definitely worth it. You’ll get a great shake, sweat, and burn!
*update*
It's been about 4yrs since I started at True40 Bham and I love it even more now than I did then - which is hard to believe! The community they have built in and out of the studio is amazing and if you try it once you'll fall in love🤍

True40 is nothing short of amazing! Kaitlyn and Taylor have created such a beautiful environment of love and acceptance. After years of yo-yo dieting, at-home workout (and hands-off gym) experiences, I’ve finally found my happy place! Even after two hip surgeries and a back surgery, I can do six workouts a week! With a combination of barre and total body resistance workouts, this is low impact and doable for people of all body types. They give modifications for every move, and every class will keep your body guessing-even if you have the same instructor two days in a row-no two workouts are ever the same! I’m so proud to shake, sweat and burn with the amazing community that is True40 downtown Birmingham!

I love True40! I have had knee problems since high school from running, and True40 offers low impact high intensity workouts that still have me burning 400+ calories each time. They also offer modifications for every single exercise so every person can get a good workout without hurting themselves. And most importantly, this is all done in an uplifting, positive environment with every instructor encouraging you to do YOUR best, not the super fit girl next to you’s best!

Love this place and love the instructors! I tend to be a little ADD when it comes to workouts and true40 capitalizes on that for me! Just when I’m tired of one exercise, we are on to the next! I love the studio space, especially the natural light and big beautiful windows. I hate being enclosed inside the gym and this is the complete opposite! The girls are all wonderful and encouraging. The workouts are modified to your fitness level so truly it is for everyone! Keep up the good work, I’m thankful to be part of this community 😊

I've been coming to True40 since opening week a few months ago and I love it! It has kept me motivated to workout, I am feeling stronger and stronger with each week. I usually workout for a month and fall off but it's been 3 months and now I'm getting up at 5:30am for the 6:00am class!!! I have literally never woken up early for anything but a flight in my life! Love that True40 is helping me to be a better person (and a morning person! :)) and the view from the studio is amazing!

I have been so grateful to be a member at True40 over the past few years! I have seen a lot of improvement and change in terms of my strength and confidence in myself, & in what our bodies can do for us. The environment at True40 is so positive and encouraging, from the staff to the other members, and I am so grateful to have found such a supportive community here.

Absolutely love these classes! Fun, challenging, and the community is great. Instructors are super knowledgeable and helpful with techniques. My faaaavorite workout. Beautiful, stunning, and smart!

Kaitlyn and her team over at True40 are top notch! The workouts are a challenge for every fitness level as they do a great job making modifications (and challenges) based on what your body can tolerate. If you want something difficult but low impact that you can do week in and week out, this is the place for you!

Can’t say enough good things about True40! You know those fitness studios where you feel like you just aren’t good enough and you don’t belong? True40 is the exact opposite. Come for a workout that pushes you, strengthens you and inspires you. Leave with a new community of people who want to encourage you. So thankful for this place!

Man, I utilized one of the free classes that they offer here and these ladies don't play around! I am a swimmer, and I go to the gym regularly, so I think of myself as an active person. I thought that I would not be challenged by the class, and I was wrong. I was shaking! Definitely go here if you are looking for a good workout and try their free class!

Best fitness studio EVER. The owner and entire staff are incredible! They make everyone feel welcomed and loved. The workout is great, with options to modify or increase the intensity. Could not recommend it more!

True40 is SUCH an inspiring studio to be a part of. You really feel a sense of community, and that the owners/instructors really care about you. I love the mix of barre, pilates and TRX bands. Can't say enough good about this place!
