Bridging the gap between HIIT and functional fitness
X4 was intentionally created to provide a holistic fitness option in a supportive group atmosphere. Unlike many group fitness gyms, X4 gives a consistent variety of anaerobic and aerobic training so athletes get a more well-rounded workout and never get bored.
OUR STORY
OUR STORY
Who x4 for?
Created for any athlete, at any fitness level
X⁴ started in Homewood, AL as a HIIT class that was offered at a gym called Nexus Fitness when owner Chris Wade realized there was no comprehensive fitness option for all fitness levels. After 3 years of continued growth at Nexus, X4 became its own brand and launched its first independent studio in Mountain Brook, AL.
Sharing the perfect fitness formula with the world
The X⁴ Mountain Brook location was soon sold to a day-one X⁴ member, which ultimately became the first franchise of location. About 1 year later, the 2nd and 3rd franchise locations were opened in Homewood and downtown Birmingham, respectively. X⁴ Fitness is growing at a rapid pace and will be coming soon to a city near you!
