This has got to be the absolute best gym I've ever been to in my life. I am legitimately not…read morekidding. It's also the most expensive gym membership I've ever paid for, but it is TOTALLY worth it. EVERY. SINGLE. PENNY. I have the fitness unlimited membership and let me tell you, the Build & Burn classes are a MUST if you have fitness goals you are trying to reach. I've been going for about a month now, my body is looking better than ever, and I have not done the same circuit twice. They are constantly switching it up, and the trainers are so knowledgeable and have such great attitudes. It's HARD, but it's doable and only 45 minutes. I burn at least 500 calories each class. COVID News: The classes aren't packed at all. Everyone social distances and cleans everything after use. Trust me, you're safe. I cannot say enough good things about this gym. It's really close to having a personal trainer! If you can't tell already, I recommend!!

Serious Safety & Liability Concerns - This Gym Puts Members at Risk…read more This gym is playing fast and loose with member safety, and it needs to be called out. The sauna has a clearly posted warning sign stating a maximum safe temperature of 185°F. Despite this, staff and management insist on running it at 200°F, knowingly exceeding their own posted safety limits. That alone is reckless and a massive liability issue. What made this worse: I entered the sauna first at a safe temperature. Another gym member then came in and turned the temperature up to 197°F, completely ignoring the warning sign. When I pointed out the posted safety limit, this individual became aggressive, threatened me, harassed me, and disturbed my peace while I was simply trying to protect my health. No member should feel unsafe--physically or verbally--while using a wellness facility. Management's response? Dismissive and unconcerned. Instead of addressing: * the unsafe temperature settings * the violation of posted safety guidelines * the harassment and threatening behavior by another member ...the manager failed to take the situation seriously at all. This gym is exposing itself to serious liability by: * Ignoring its own safety warnings * Allowing saunas to operate at dangerous temperatures * Failing to intervene when a member is threatened Saunas are supposed to support health--not endanger it. Until management starts prioritizing member safety, accountability, and basic respect, I strongly do not recommend this gym. Consider this a warning.

Everyone at the gym was incredibly friendly. Each time I asked someone how long had they been going to the gym, they gave their answers in years vs months... 6 years, 12 years, etc. Everyone was extremely happy at the gym. It was an easy location to go to, good parking... The equipment was older but functional. The trainer was very knowledgeable and really seemed to care about how I was performing the exercises, making sure that I performed them properly vs just doing an exercise.

That class though is the best workout on ClassPass in my opinion just ahead of Blast.

If you did this workout every day, you'd be in amazing shape - no doubt.

They will lie to you in the beginning at sign up to get you to join, saying that you can cancel whenever, and that it's monthly - but what they don't tell you is that they lock you under a contract, unbeknownst to you!

We put him through multiple PT sessions, but he would get hurt again. Finally a friend of mine recommended Alton. We did a trial session for an hour and my 16 year old came out saying this was the best hour he spend working out ever. Alton had not only provided physical adjustment and plan on how my son should work out, but he also offered a mental adjustment and attitude on how to perceive his participation in the sport that he loved. Throughout the months of work my son has been looking forward to every session with Alton because it not only aligns him to make his body feel safe and secure, but mentaly he is prepared to tackle another week of work. My older son who is in military also, had one session with Alton and said it was life-changing. He said that whenever he has an opportunity to be in Atlanta, he would love to meet with him and work out with him just to make sure his body is recovered from the stress of training. I think Alton is an amazing person and amazing trainer. I could not wanna come anymore although being selfish as I am, I wish we could just keep them for us else so we don't run into a conflict of scheduling the training with him. But if you are looking for a trainer who can change your life, change your body, change your way of living for the better, look no further. He is the best trainer to work with.

While the gym is pretty decent for the most part: lots of machines, spread-out, saunas, lockers, etc...much of the place looked kind of rundown. So many areas were undergoing construction. In the gym AND the locker rooms. It looks like a really nice gym upon first glance, but it's fairly rundown inside. I arrived close to 6, and then close to 7, a worker tapped my shoulder and told me they close at 7. Upon arriving for the first time, this same worker didn't tell me what time the club closed at all. While he did give me a tour of the place and told me about the gym, he forgot to mention the important detail that it closed at 7. Regardless, I still had a pretty good workout. If they could just do some cleanup and renovate a little quicker, I would've given this review 1-2 more stars. But until the fix the fact that this placed looks rundown and beat-up inside, it will stay 3 stars. There is plenty of parking in front of the club which is nice. It's also free. It's attached to Lenox Mall, so plenty of parking. I don't know if I would come back until renovations were complete.

The absolutely worst customer service I've experienced in some time was at LA Fitness 75 5th St NW…read moreSte E, Atlanta, GA 30332. I had one of the worst customer service experiences I've had in a long time at LA Fitness on 3/27/2026. Earlier that day, I visited and purchased a day pass. Tasha assisted me, and the process was smooth, professional, and welcoming. She clearly explained that I could use the day pass throughout the day as long as I kept my receipt. However, when I returned that evening around 7:50 PM, the experience was completely different. The front desk attendant at that time was extremely rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. She remained seated, did not greet me, and spoke in a belittling manner. When I presented my receipt, she responded with, "What is this for?" and then said, "I don't know about that. You're not coming up in the system." There was no effort to assist, verify, or resolve the situation--just attitude and disrespect. Fortunately, another staff member present recognized the issue and allowed me to proceed, but the damage was already done. To make matters worse, around 8:30 PM, the same employee made a very unprofessional announcement over the intercom telling everyone they had to leave, in a tone that lacked courtesy and basic customer service standards. This is not just a one-off issue--it reflects a serious gap in professionalism and training. I strongly encourage management to review the security footage from that evening to observe both the interaction and the announcement. Based on this experience, I do not plan to return.
