Yes, yes, yes, yes! Blast is an awesome fitness studio! So glad I stumbled upon this studio, because your girl is in need of some great motivation to lose weight. I purchased the first timer promo, $36 for 3 classes, and went to my first class on Tuesday after work, and let's just say Josè is an awesome instructor! Being that it was my first time at a Blast studio, Josè showed me around, and gave me a brief rundown on how the class will be ran, so I knew what to expect. He made me feel welcomed and answered any questions I had. He also let me know the studio validates parking, in the parking deck, so I don't need to worry about paying for parking! The gym is really clean and nicely put together. There are also free lockers so you can stow your goodies away, while you burn fat! Now on to the workout. So I've never worked out for a straight 60 minutes (hence why I'm out of shape hehe), but Josè was so fun and energetic, time flew by and I didn't even realize I went the entire class without stopping! We did so many fun workouts on the treadmill and the floor. I have an semi-athletic background, so many of the exercises we did, weren't too intimidating but they were definitely challenging! I worked up a pretty nice sweat, and a few times I wanted to yell at Josè for making us work soo hard, lol but I am so glad he kept pushing us, because I know I needed it. I'll be going back to more classes at Blast, especially when Josè is there! Excellent gym and staff, and I will be back. Side note: if you're looking for a COVID-19 friendly space to work out, this studio isn't for you. No one wore masks during the exercise, and the studio where classes are held is really small, so no social distancing. Ventilation was really good though, so it didn't feel like I was breathing old air. To public: if you are coming to workout in a public place, please make sure your hygiene is up to par. Wear deodorant at the minimum, because it's just rude to others to have to smell your funk while working out. Just saying. read more

See all

I'm a fan! I decided to come try BLAST with my trial with ClassPass and really enjoyed the high intensity workout. The studio is located in midtown next to Kale Me Crazy and parking is validated if you park in the garage. The staff is helpful for new students and showed us the studio space as well as explained expectations for the class (what they will call out, what it means, what the assistant does during class, etc). I liked the fast pace workout and the energy of the instructor. At the end of the class I felt like I had a great workout that worked all parts of my body (arms, legs, abs). I love that the attentiveness of the staff in helping students refill water during class. They also keep the shower and bathroom clean and stocked with gym essentials (shampoo, hair dryer, lotion, bag for wet cloths). The only downside is that the space is quite small so that at the beginning and end of class it can be a little crowded in the hallways. read more

I've been coming here for the last 2 years. Located right next to Kale me Crazy in the heart of midtown it's just a short walk for me to get my workout on. They do validate parking for the deck on Juniper right before the street Blast is on (theres a Blast logo included on the sign along with lots of other restaurants in that block). This is a bootcamp style workout class with the class divided into blocks on the treadmill and blocks on the floor that provide solid cardio and strength training in 1 hr. The blocks vary in time depending on the class but each block consists of treadmill and floor exercises so you are constantly switch between the 2. The treadmill portion has suggested runner, jogger, and walker speeds you can follow or adjust to what suits you best. The floor exercises vary depending on the class and instructor but usually have blocks for upper body, lower body, and core. They have tons of variations in their exercises so no 2 classes are the same but you always burn and insane amount of calories! Also once you get to know the instructors their style and musical tastes vary slightly. Jose and Broderick are my favorite because I love their hiphop/latin music. All the classes are a great work out! Also every class has a trainer who sets up and cleans up, switches out weights for you, sets up the treadmills for the next block, and even refills your water bottle! The trainers are definitely the key to a smooth workout! Unlike Barry's bootcamp or orange theory you're not wasting time during your transitions or workout gathering equipment or getting more water. If bootcamp/HIIT styles classes are your thing this is the studio for you! read more

As a proud Blast Midtown member for going on two years, I wanted to take the time to share a review. Blast has adjusted to life in a pandemic (COVID) with temp monitoring, smaller classes and required masks upon entry/ exit, and they have done so while staying communicative with members about what's going on and what's ahead. There are several amazing trainers- Josh, Jacoby, Vynessa, Jesse, Dylan, Brittany, Jose (who recently left to bet on himself)- who consistently motivate and inspire, as well as pump up and cheer along. I look better, feel better and I'm stronger all because of Blast! For the price and convenience, it's worth it! read more

too expensive, overall a great place but wayyy too expensive and i know thats how they make the money but thats just too mcuh

I have been to BLAST once and it was a great workout! They combine cardio and strength training into one instead of focusing on one or the other. You start at either the treadmill or the strength area. I started at the treadmill and the speed ranges are divided into three (walker, jogger, runner) which change with time. You can decide whether you want to be in the walker, jogger or runner range. After some time, you switch to strength training where the focus is on weights and core exercises. The rhythm of the exercises on the treadmill and the strength area is such that you don't realize when the time passes by. Amazing workout! I rarely sweat and this workout made me sweat. Will be back again. read more

Blast is awesome. The workout is challenging, but fun. Just as you fatigue one muscle group, it's on to the next. I feel happily sore! (If thats a thing...haha) You can take it at your pace, and you won't feel stressed about having to keep up. You'll get a good sweat no matter what pace you go at, too! So you can't go wrong. The parking is easy and the facility is nice. The people who work there are kind and motivating. The only thing I would change: the free water bottles they give out to everyone. Bring your own!! That's super bad for the environment. Wish they would encourage folks to bring their own bottle more. Give it a whirl! read more

I previously was a member at Blast for almost two years with no problems, but during the COVID-19 pandemic, everything changed. Blast did not show me the same courtesy as members of other gyms like Orange Theory and LA Fitness received. Unlike those gyms, and many others, that froze payments or offered reduced membership suspension costs, Blast charged me my full monthly membership fee--which is already quite high--even though their gyms have remained closed since March. When I reached out to dispute the charge on several occasions, they denied a refund and cancelled my membership. Before this terrible experience, I had every intention of returning to Blast, but due to their unprofessional and unethical behavior towards me, I will not be returning to their gyms. read more

Recently, there was an unexpected mishap with a treadmill wobbling...stuff happens, such is life! The blast staff did an excellent job of accommodating me even in a full class. I had several different members apologize and the studio even comped me a class. This was at least the third time I experienced excellent customer service and accommodation at this blast location, such as calling when stuck in traffic or accidentally signing up at the wrong location. Of course, the workout is phenomenal too, challenging and very much full body. The only slight complaint I could even think to mention is that the classes can feel a little crowded, but that's just because everyone wants to blast! read more

I used to be a serial Classpass-er until finding and committing to BLAST- I can't recommend this studio enough! Having lived in both LA and NYC, I feel like I've tried basically every boutique fitness studio and BLAST is absolutely one of my all time favorites. The entire staff is welcoming, incredibly knowledgable, and so supportive. I've been taking class at the studio off and on for the past few years and have always found the workouts to be challenging and effective while still accessible to all fitness levels. I love that I can walk away from the class knowing that I got an amazing workout that covered both cardio and strength training. I'm going into my 8th month of pregnancy and have been consistently BLASTing since month three. Every teacher has been so attentive (helping me to make appropriate modifications, etc) and the workouts have undoubtedly made my pregnancy easier. I'm looking forward to finally utilizing their unique profile program to help maximize my workout results post-baby! If you're looking for an incredible workout that will give you amazing results (without the intimidation factor found at other studios) you MUST check out BLAST. read more

I love Blast-- let me be super clear about that. LOVE it. Blast is a High Intensity Interval Training fitness class. It's HARD, but in my opinion, is one of the best fitness classes in the city. Why spend an hour doing a class that doesn't get results when you could go to Blast, get your butt kicked a little, and feel like a rockstar? When I first started getting in shape a few years ago, I took just about every fitness class in Atlanta, and Blast is basically the ONLY one that I've stuck with long term. I love the back and forth between the treadmills and floors. The class is different every time I go, and it never gets boring. Instructors are outstanding, well trained, and are great about pushing you hard without making you feel berated. The only thing that kept me from going daily before now was the fact that they were located way up in Buckhead, which can be quite a hike from Midtown depending on the time of day. I was thrilled when I heard they were opening a Midtown location! So, my three stars? Pricing! Before I realized Blast was opening a Midtown location, I signed up for Orange Theory-- a HIIT type class that's literally two blocks away from the new Blast location. I prefer Blast overall because I love the instructors, but Orange Theory is very, very similar in terms of the workout itself (the only difference, in my opinion, is that Orange Theory has a little bit more dead time in between floor exercises). Orange Theory also has some very cool technology-- you borrow a heart rate monitor each time, and your zones are displayed on a screen. This allows their instructors to see if you're pushing hard enough at a glance, helps you clarify your goals, and means you don't have to invest in your own heart rate monitor (which can be upwards of $150, if you want a great one). So...why is Blast so much more expensive than Orange Theory? They offer a similar class in terms of the workout itself, but NOTHING by way of technology-- unless you buy both a heart rate monitor and a session with a Blast heart rate monitor coach, who will set it up for you. One month of unlimited classes at Orange Theory is $170 (OR, if you sign up when they open, $140). One month unlimited at Blast is something like $220-- it gets cheaper if you commit to a longer contract (2, 3, 6 months, etc), but seeing as how Orange Theory ONLY does month-to-month, that's not much of a selling point. The per-class packages aren't much better; 10 classes at Orange Theory are $190. 10 classes at Blast are $250. I don't mind paying more to support a small, local business, and I'll be the first to admit that Orange Theory's marketing strategy (which seems to be ORANGE EVERYWHERE! EVERYWHERE! BEHOLD THE ORANGE!) annoys the hell out of me, but that's a pretty steep price difference. Anyhow-- all this is to say, I was happy to buy a package of classes at Blast, and will inevitably use them over the next year. BUT...I'm keeping my membership at Orange Theory, because I can go every day (ha) for $140 a month. Blast will be a great supplement/place to go when OT classes are full or I want a change of scenery, but the pricing prevents it from being my one and only. read more

LOVE Blast Midtown!! Such a fabulous fun community! Great workouts, energetic and encouraging instructors. Everyone is so friendly and makes you feel welcome! I also LOVE that they do a great stretch after the workout. SO many classes out there skip the stretch these days. read more

Blast still features the HIIT that drew me here in the first place, but it's not my super-most-favoritest workout like it used to be. The transitions between treadmills and floor work seem more shaky and less strategic and well thought out. The instructors also seem less comfortable checking and correcting form and don't provide as many thoughtful modifications. While Blast used to be about challenging you wherever you are in your fitness journey, they now seem to be focusing on people who are already in very good shape. I'm still a fan, so my four star rating holds, but these updates are important to know as a first time guest. While I'm still visiting them through ClassPass, I was shocked to see the increases in their new pricing structure, which rolled out at the start of November 2015. There are no more unlimited monthly packages, and now a single class will set you back a cool $33. You can buy packs of 10 classes for a discount, but that only knocks back the price to $28/class. It's great having someone refill your water bottle during class, but I'm not sure that it's worth that much. I'll continue to stick with ClassPass, where for $99 a month I can visit Blast three times a month, as well as take unlimited classes at dozens of other gyms in the area. read more

5 stars for the workout, minus one for the price. Yeeesh, we are not in New York and $33 / class / the absolutely ridiculous $400.00 a month is not even competitive with the ATL boutique fitness scene. That being said, I gave the class a shot through Class Pass because I have heard good things and it seemed like my kind of workout. For first timers, you can try a class for free by calling the studio. You must arrive 15 minutes before your first class to learn the ropes. The facilities have your typical fare. Combination lockers + all the shower amenities you can need. They give you a water bottle so you don't need to remember to bring one. Parking is frustrating the first time but if you follow the instructions you should be good. It's also validated. The workout itself switches between weighted floor exercises that target your whole body throughout the course of the 60 minutes, and interval tread workouts. From what I've gathered the exact workout and the time you spend on each station varies per class and instructor. My particular class had 4 5 minute segments and 4 10 minute segments. The treadmill work is split in to three levels, walker, jogger, and runner. This is great and really allows you to scale based on your fitness level. I personally can not even imagine running the sprints at the 'runner' level. But people were doing it so I imagine it is possible. I consider myself to be in a decent shape and the workouts were definitely challenging, but not impossible. Right when you start to feel like you're going to die, you switch exercises or locations. The instructor and assistant (who fills your complementary water bottle) were hands on and really helpful. I felt welcomed and really felt like they cared that my form was correct. Overall the class was a really great workout and I wish I could do it more frequently. I think this is definitely the type of workout that doesn't need supplements from other classes. Normally I feel like I need to supplement Spin with Barre classes, etc etc. This can be your sole membership if you can afford it. read more

If you're looking for the toughest and funnest HIIT workout in Atlanta (or maybe the Southeast), look no further than BLAST! I've been a member here for over 2 years and love every single class. The workouts and equipment change every single day, keeping things very interesting. And if you come consistently, you WILL see changes - to physique, endurance, and strength. Great if you're looking to be challenged at any fitness level you're at (beginners SO welcome - we love you and every workout is modifiable). The staff and instructors are super sweet and treat you like family. Try a free class and see for yourself! read more

It's a good thing I don't drink like I used to, or this Sunday at Blast could have gotten pretty ugly. Kelly convinced to me to join class pass a few weeks back and this led me to a Sunday morning class at Blast. I finished the class about 45 minutes ago and I feel amazing. Blast combined a great mixture of inclined cardio with resistance training. Your heart rate stays up and your muscles stay tense. I think our instructors name was Jordan and he was really helpful and a nice guy. I've always thought that a Sunday workout can do wonders to get the work week off on the right foot. It's very likely my Sunday workouts will be at Blast from here on out. That's my word and I'm sticking to it. read more

Personal, motivating, excellent!! Super nice staff! Alternating high impact with weight training, read more

Look, I am not going to lie. The first time I came here I was mid class walking a 30 incline conjuring up reasons to tell the instructor why I had to leave class early. I don't have kids but I damn if I wasn't about to tell them I had to pick some up or something. I now frequent Blast via ClassPass and love it! The instructors will kick your butt and it is great for all fitness levels. I always feel amazing at the end of each class. Blast involves interval training similar to Orange Theory and the classes are always different so you never know what to expect. There is always a class assistant who provides towels and chilled water throughout the class so you stay hydrated. I've had a few teachers that I like more than others but overall I really enjoy Blast. I personally like the Midtown studio much more than the Buckhead but that's me. :) read more

This hour workout honestly flies by for me. You switch between weight lifting/floor exercises and treadmill workouts during this class. When you walk in, the treadmill and floor stations are numbered and you share your assigned station with another person. i.e. when you are on treadmill #1, they other person is on floor station #1. For all you first timers, there is no need to bring your own water bottle - they provide you with one. The best thing about the water....someone is there to refill it for you while you work out = frickin awesome! My only negative comment about this place is that the floor can be a little gross as you are sharing stations (and sweating everywhere). I would recommend that the gym thoroughly clean the floors in between workout sessions for sanitary purposes. read more

WAY TO GO-BLASTLIFE!!! Blast continues to be MY FAVORITE work out in Atlanta! I started with this crew 10 years ago and have tried other places BUT only blast gives me the full body work out I need with each changing age. I love the energy and enthusiasm of the staff who challenge me every day on the treadmill and floor with intense weight training. Every day I go is a happier day! :) read more

I really enjoy the workout and you can't beat the location! The instructors are all great. I've been going for two weeks and definitely like the combo of treadmill and floor work. I like the app and the times classes are offered, highly recommend! read more

BEWARE! One of the worst experiences that I have had. I have been a loyal customer of Blast Midtown for a couple years now but that all changed recently. After a long week, I was really looking forward to the 5:15PM class but was turned away at the door as I arrived at exactly 5:17PM. Unfortunately, the recent football traffic slowed me but I made sure to make a courtesy call to let the staff know of this minor delay. But turning me away was not enough for Cornelius and his staff. Instead they were unnecessarily rude and unaccommodating while making me feel incredibly uncomfortable. I say all this to let you know not to waste 2 years of your time and money with a location that does not care about its customers. Save yourself the headache and embarrassment. read more

I love love Blast!. I tried Blast using Class Pass and was blown away. High energy, clean facilities, and great instructors! If you want a high intensity workout, this is the place to go. You spend roughly 6-10 mins on the treadmill and 6-10 on the floor doing strength training. High intensity workouts burns the most calories and effectively helps with weight lost. It focus on keeping your heart rate elevated. The work space is very clean along with the locker rooms. There is free parking in the garage behind them. The team is friendly and professional. During the hour long workout, a guy is consistently filling your water bottle, which is given to you at the beginning of class. You will feel tired but re-energize from this class. They do sell some merchandise, mostly workout gear. Their tank tops are cute and the material is good quality. I highly recommend for anyone wanting to jumpstart their health to give Blast a try. read more

BLAST offers one free class to new customers. I highly recommend trying it out! In a typical BLAST class, the instructor will have you alternate between treadmill activity and on-the-floor circuit training activity. The instructor shouts out instructions into a headset connected to the gym speakers. This helps a lot since the music is blasting throughout the workout. While you are on the treadmill, the instructor will tell you to adjust the speed and incline of your treadmill at different time intervals. After some time, the instructor will tell you to switch off the treadmill and walk over to the open area of the gym where equipment will be laid out for each person. This is when the circuit training starts. From here, the instructor will tell you to do different kinds of exercises using free weights, Bosus, yoga mats, resistance bands, etc. As expected of a boutique fitness training studio, there are ample amenities. They provide you with a fresh, new unopened bottle of water and a sweat towel for you to use during the workout. They provide the group of customers with an assistant who will constantly be refilling everyone's water bottles and mopping stray sweat drops off of the floor. There is a bathroom with two showers (with everything that you could possibly need like shampoo, body wash, razors, towels, moist towelettes, hair dryers/straighteners, and even hair ties). It can feel like a high intensity workout if you push yourself to your limits. The trainers allow you to adjust the intensity of your workout. You can take it down a notch at any time during the workout. After the class, I felt amazing. During the workout, sweat was literally dripping off of my forehead onto the ground. The music choices are upbeat and on the mainstream, trendy side. The instructors are highly encouraging, somehow convincing me to push through the entire workout without slacking off (too much). I was satisfyingly sore the next morning. Five stars out of five! To see my other Atlanta fitness reviews and a list of free fitness classes, visit activeatl.weebly.com.

I just recently moved to Atlanta and was searching for a gym that felt clean and safe (with the pandemic), welcoming, and the workouts could kick my butt. I found all of that and more at Blast. I love a good workout class and have been a member at Orange Theory and Barry's. Blast not only keeps me on my toes with each class being unique, but also love that the incorporate a variety of workout equipment. The trainers are great. Jose is hands down my favorite at Midtown. His playlists are fun and upbeat and definitely pushes you. Lastly, I think the biggest kicker for me was their customer service. If anyone has been to a Barry's or OTF, you know how annoying it is to be charged for a missed class on top of losing your credit or call to the front desk and can tell they really don't care. Blast has policies in place, but Missy is incredibly responsive and understanding. She texted me that she takes care of her members when I initially joined and they really do. I would highly recommend Blast to anyone! read more

If I had to sum Blast 900 into one word it would be WOW! The workouts truly kick your butt and are catered to all fitness levels. I was new to Blast and started going to this location during their soft opening. Despite the new location and brand opening, they were operating like an all star team. I have been attending for 2 months and they continue to get sharper every week. The trainers and staff are top notch and are incredibly passionate. They are not intimidating at all and are very welcoming to new comers. I have been recommending Blast to all of my friends and they are happy to go as the first class is FREE! The other day, I had the pleasure of taking the class from Missi Wolf, the founder of Blast. She was amazing and it's easy to see why it has been such a success! read more

Awesome work out! First class today and it totally kicked my butt in a good way! I think my only issue was parking. The lot was completely full and I had to pay for street parking. But maybe the parking situation was just an off day? Either way, I'll be going back this week! read more

To echo another review - I love Blast, it's a great workout with excellent instructors. My issue is the pricing. In November 2015, they raised their prices and eliminated a month-to-month unlimited option. Their pricing is now as follows: Unlimited classes w/ 3 month commitment - $399 per Month! Single Class - $33 3 Pack - $32/class 5 pack - $31/class 10 pack - $30/class 20 pack - $28/class As a point of comparison, this is more expensive than any other gym I can think of in the Metro Atlanta area, including FlyWheel, Exhale, and Orange Theory. FlyWheel's most expensive class is $28 - that is Blast's cheapest! Again, the classes are great, but don't justify this kind of pricing. My other issue is that they no longer allow people to "join" and have an unlimited option (except for the $399/month option which we all can agree is just so ridiculous it shouldn't even be acknowledged). So, if you want to Blast, $28/class is the cheapest option you're going to get. What is the deal? Are we subsidizing the new DC location? I think these prices are offensively high. I could swing $200/month, maybe even $250, but $399? You gotta be kidding me! Blast, I will miss you, and if you decide to start charging prices that are somewhere in the realm of normal for this market, we can play again. read more

I first took a Blast class many moons ago at the now defunct Dunwoody location. At that time, I was way out of shape and wasn't a fan of treadmills. I'm still not a fan of treadmills, but I'm in way better shape. Blast is a HIIT workout where you spend 30 minutes on a treadmill (running, jogging or walking at whatever pace suits you) and 30 minutes on a floor doing strength training. You alternate segments several times during your one hour workout. You could have various time blocks that change each day to keep you on your toes. You have to be quick about your transitions because some blocks may only be 2 minutes long. I'm amazed that the instructors are able to remember all of the different instructions for both groups and are able to yell out instructions continuously. As a student, it's actually occasionally kind of hard to hear when I'm on the treadmill and need to change speeds or inclines. I spend more time trying to listen to my verbal queues instead of focusing on getting the most of out my time on the treadmill. I attend Blast through Class Pass. I would never pay the prices that they charge for individual classes. I actually have a permanent membership at another HIIT place called Orangetheory. As someone who does both, I actually prefer Orangetheory. I like their use of rowing machines and TRX suspension trainers. It's also easier to hear the instructors and focus on what I need to do next. Plus, they play music. I'm a fan of listening to loud music when I workout. I have friends that are Blast addicts and love the workouts here and hate Orangetheory. It's a complete personal preference. The bathroom/shower/changing room is also another issue I have with this location. You have a communal room for everyone. Some modest people would hate this arrangement. There's only 1 bathroom stall and there's a line a lot of times. Same goes for the showers. There are only 2 showers. Many people in the morning classes bring their work stuff to change into after their workout. My first time visiting this location had a 4 person wait for the showers. I ended up leaving there close to an hour after my workout. I soon realized that people leave classes early in order to hop in the shower. Plus since guys and gals are sharing the same space, most people end up getting dressed in the shower stalls. This adds to the amount of time it takes to get through the shower line. I now know about this issue, so I make sure to only book a Blast class when I don't have any meetings or calls at work that start before 9:30. I work right down the street, but there's no guarantee that I will make it to work by 9 am when I take a 6:45 class due to the shower situation. They offer validated parking for 2 hours. Beware that if you need to shower, the 2 hours will not cover your parking. I always end up having to pay an extra $1. Although I have my issues, it's still a good workout and a great option since I work right down the street. I'll continue coming here 3 times a month through Class Pass. That alone is equivalent to the $99 I pay a month. read more

Great place to work up a great sweat and burn major calories. Every workout is different , so it's really hard to get bored. Jamaal is an amazing instructor (quite possibly the best male instructor at blast) he always has super positive energy , challenging exercises, and an awesome playlist to keep things going ! read more

Such an amazing work out! I've been going here for a couple months and I love it!! The trainers and staff are so friendly and energetic. Jose and Jesse seriously knock it out of the park. I always make time in my schedule to book a class with them!!! read more

First and foremost... you may want to brace yourself because this is going to be a looooong review but TOTALLY worth the details. So lets start with the good stuff... PROS! Facilities: The gym is in a stellar location, it is extremely well kept. Both the interior as well as the exterior are ALWAYS clean. I see the assistants cleaning the equipment as I am on my way out which totally puts my mind at ease. The bathrooms?? AMAAAAZINGGGG. It is fully stocked with towels, hair spray, blow dryers, flat irons, lotions, shampoo, body wash, conditioner, pretty much the whole kitchen sink. This was a huge bonus for me because I go to work immediately after so to not have to carry all that extra stuff around is absolute perfection. Staff: Everyone here is so damn nice!!!! I even got a holiday card with a coupon in it! The front desk people are ALWAYS pleasant, the assistants who help the trainers during your workout are ALWAYS on point. They even know my name which makes me feel all special. I love how they really pay attention and they refill my water bottle, get me lighter weights when they see I am having trouble, and lower place my treadmill at the proper incline all without me even having to ask. And when it comes to the assistant Caleb, double bonus because he is fine as hell. Who doesn't want to get their water refilled or be greeted by some nice eye candy? Trainers: Absolutely A M A Z I N G. I have not had every single trainer that BLAST has to offer, but I can definitely vouch for the trainers I have had. Justyn: My motivation. Just a fine tall light skinned Adonis, looking like a venti caramel frapp! But on a serious note, he is a good trainer, his choice of music keeps me pumped, he is motivating but does not want you to over exert yourself which is awesome. Joel: F I I I N N N E E E as I don't know what. I heard he teaches class with his shirt off but I he definitely had one on when I took his class lol. He is my second favorite trainer. One thing I love about him in particular is that he sooooo full of energy and life! He literally is jumping around, pumping the class up, and he actually does the floor work WITH you as well as counts, instead of just showing the quick demonstration which is very beneficial. Grrrreat music choice as well. Sarah: My absolute favorite trainer. She calls me by my name which makes me feel like an actual someone, and she is NOT afraid to come over and correct your form, as well as tell you how great of a job you are doing. She also adds a bit of banter in her class and is extremely personable so you actually connect with her a bit during the workout. I also found I do the best in her classes because she always says to just push yourself a little bit further which results in me going a little bit faster on the treadmill or getting just a few more reps in on the floor. With that being said, now for the CONS. Scheduling: This is probably my only issue with BLAST. They have changed the schedule twice in the last 2 months. So first when I came, the times for classes was different everyday which was extremely inconvenient, then they changed it to where it was cohesive from day to day, and the 9a class fit absolutely perfect with my schedule; it had the trainers I wanted and gave me enough time to still get to work on time afterwards. Now, they are moving it to a 9 30 class, which is a major inconvenience to me and I am sure to others as well. They do give you a heads up in advance, but I wish they would like send out and email or take a survey or something to see what is best. In conclusion, I think BLAST is an awesome gym and I am NOT a gym person. Here I do not feel intimidated or rushed or like just another number. It is a very friendly and intimate experience, and an awesome workout. I am seeing and feeling changes that I never thought I could thanks to BLAST. Sign up! read more

I can honestly say I look forward to Blast every time I sign up. I know I'm going to get an amazing workout, water and a towel are provided so I don't have to worry about forgetting anything, and the gym is clean and inviting. I highly recommend Blast! read more

Best workout ever with instruction and personal service. I have tried others but none compare. Definitely recommend

The only workout I do! I go to both locations and really enjoy the classes. I've done just about everything -Barre, Flywheel, Bootcamps, etc and Blast is the only thing I can really stick with overtime. First class is free so you can't go wrong trying it out! read more

I usually go to Blast Buckhead but, mixed it up today. What a great workout! It is pricey but, it's not a workout I could ever I mean ever do on my own!!! I really enjoyed Jamaals enthusiasm and the assistant was really great too. The gym is clean! The parking isn't great but, when is it ever in Midtown? I'll be back! read more

I AM OBSESSED. This was my first time doing Blast and I left feeling better than ever. My instructor Justyn was great at keeping the class at a good pace, instructing a good workout, and also keeping everyone motivated. I love that they provide towels and water for each person, and that there is someone assisting the class who is constantly helping grab different weights or refilling water bottles while you are working out so you don't miss a beat. The workout itself is great as well. You alternate between a treadmill and floor exercises so you really get it all. I really loved how there were different paces (runner, jogger, walker) for the treadmill so that you could go a little slower if needed or really challenge yourself if you want. The room seems small at first, but you have plenty of room to move around and do everything the workout entails. I do wish that their classes were a bit cheaper, but that's Atlanta for you. Overall I cannot wait to go back to Blast. read more

Blast is one of the best workouts in Atlanta! I wish I could afford their monthly packages but for now I am settling for just the 3 classes I get with ClassPass. Here's the rundown: Sleek/Clean Facilities Easy validated parking in the SkyHouse parking deck Free water bottles, with attendants refilling for you during class There's a Kale Me Crazy next door, so you can get yourself a delicious protein smoothie afterwards. The class is an hour long, with blocks of varying times where you go back and forth between a treadmill and floor exercises. It's always different each time you go, so you'll never get bored. The class allows you to choose your intensity (Walker/Jogger/Runner on treadmill, varying weights on the floor etc). However, the instructors are really great at motivating you to push yourself and do more than you thought you could. read more

Was a little late and was turned away. Marked as missed class and wasn't allowed to join the class even though a front desk person on a previous visit said that it was ok to join classes after they started. I understand that this might be a new policy but it was a huge inconvenience since I had driven over 30 mins to get there and already paid for parking outside. 3 stars since the location in Buckhead is super friendly read more

Tough and intense workout. Jamaal is a great instructor and provides personalised and hands-on corrections to ensure you get the best workout. read more
