Rock On

We have an indoor rock wall! This is not just a one sided wall, but an entire gym complete with a bouldering area and new crash pads. The rock wall is great for toddlers, grandmothers and everyone in between. The rock wall can also be reserved for children’s birthday parties and corporate events.

Athletic Club Alabama also has brand new racquetball courts and seasonal racquetball leagues for both members and non-members. The club regularly hosts racquetball tournaments. And to help you wind down, we now offer a Spa with a Licensed Massage Therapist and a full menu of services.

Flexibility

And if you are still looking for more?

Depending on your membership plan, which by the way is month to month without a contract*, you can take advantage of the indoor and outdoor tennis courts located at our main location. Athletic Club Alabama has 7 USPTA Tennis Professionals that provide weekly tennis clinics, as well as private lessons. *Note: 30 day written notice is required to cancel your membership.

A Workout then a Drink

Why not grab a post-workout drink or a quick bite with friends? All in the same building as your workout session? Sound too good to be true! Because it’s not!

That’s right! Athletic Club Alabama is the only health club in Huntsville that offers beer and wine! So how about a glass of wine with the girls after Zumba, or a beer after scaling the rock wall? Our South Huntsville location has a juice bar that offers beer, wine, smoothies, sandwiches and soups. And our main location?

Our main location at 3250 Leeman Ferry Rd is home to our Upstairs Café, where Chef Michael Griffin has created a full menu with daily specials, and of course beer and wine is offered. Chef Michael also runs a complete catering service from the Upstairs Café. From corporate events to family get-togethers, Chef Michael can customize a menu for your event that will have all of your guests talking. Holiday catering orders are booking quickly, so call us now!

About Athletic Club Alabama

In the spring of 2010, Huntsville native Alex Rafiee joined together with local tennis pro, Eddie Jacques to purchase Huntsville Athletic Club, with the goal of renovating and creating the premier private club in the state of Alabama. After much debate, they decided to change the club name to Athletic Club Alabama. Both Alex and Eddie have a history at the Club. They both played junior tennis at the facility and have spent large portions of their tennis lives inside the Club. Like them on Facebook here, follow them on Twitter here, visit their website here.
