    READ THE CLAUSE IN THE HIDDEN CONTRACT THEY SEND
    Amber R.

    Great concept, very unethical business practices. I wish I could have stayed as it seems it would have been a great way to get in shape and join a community, but it's not worth it. They'll start you off with $180/month but have a clause in the contract that gives them the right to charge you $1000/month without your consent. That is ridiculous! I called to get this situation rectified and to get this clause out of the contact (that I didn't even know I was signing--they generate a signature to contracts without your consent), but the owner never responded. I guess he was hoping he'd get away with it!! Shameful!!! Also, it's ALL locations that are owned by the same guy. Not just the Sandy Springs location. AVOID THEM ALL!!!

    I love kickboxing and Team Octopus
    Nicki K.

    I lied. Last year, in my review, I said it will be my last review of Team Octopus since I'm no longer a member. But I'm back. Not as a member but as a guest. I think I'm gonna keep updating my review on a yearly basis since I've been doing that since 2013 for 4 years. Since my first review in 2013 to my last review in 2016, I've given Team Octopus a 5 stars every time. I still maintain my 5 stars review, cause they really are just that awesome. For the month of July, a Team Octopus member could bring friends to gym to workout with them. All they have to do is register and sign a waiver. Since I am a former member, all my information is still there so I didn't have to do anything extra. Jet remembers me too so it was perfect. I just cannot go workout without my friend who has a member. I would have to wait for her to check in. What has changed in the past year. There is no more wall. However, there is a fence instead. I'm okay with that since I don't feel claustrophobic and hot like last time I was there. Mark doesn't teach as often as he used to. Since I still see him in the gym in other classes, I assume he is training. Joseph has early classes so cannot make it but he remembers me and waved to me. Two new kickboxing instructors have been hired to teach the later kickboxing classes. So far, I've only taken Victor's classes at 7 pm. I like Victor. A lot. I love his personality. He is so outgoing, always smiling, but tough enough for you to push you through. I really enjoy his class. He only gives you one break in class during midpoint. However, when he shows his moves and combos, I feel there is a bit of a break there. All his combos are manageable even if they're longer. He also watches you if you're not doing the moves correctly. I still love Team Octopus. They are working on two more locations - Sandy Springs and Midtown. They are growing! 98/2017

    spacious floor for jujitsu classes
    Dianna N.

    Awesome martial arts gym, friendly coaches and overall great workouts(: This is a really great gym whether you're trying to get into better shape with their kickboxing and boxing classes or learn new skills from their jujitsu and muay thai classes. They also have a crossfit section for those who are interested and a jujitsu class for kids in the afternoon. The parking isn't huge but it's good for the volume they get every hour. The gym is kept very clean and spacious and they have a cubby section where you can keep your belongings during your workout. The bathrooms have lockers and showers (about 3). The people at the front desk were friendly extremely helpful so don't be afraid to ask them if you have a question. The coaches and also very friendly and willing to help anyone new get started. Membership is a bit expensive, which to me is the only downside to this great gym. It's $150 signup fee and then separate fees depending on whether you're doing crossfit, kickboxing, muay thai, etc.. Also, for kickboxing, you can rent gloves for $2 a day...but if you have your own gloves I suggest you use them because you're better off smelling your own sweat than someone else'slol You can purchase gloves at the gym for about $45 and hand wraps are ~$10. They also have other gym merchandise you can buy if you're interested. Still, an overall great place to work up a sweat!!

    See all

    I work with Milos and Los at this location. Great no non-sense gym with not a lot of distractions and a culture of focus and work.

    Burn Boot Camp

    (1 review)

    Love this place! I…read morewas introduced to Burn through a Yelp event (another location) and I was impressed by the quality of instructors and their floating floor which made exercising easy on the joints!! A few months later, I came across an ad for Burn Druid Hills (if you haven't guessed, they are a franchise gym) with a special promo for a month. Given my great experience in the past, I jumped on this offer, completed a free trial class and then immediately signed up for the promo month. The rest is history and I've been part of the Burn community ever since, over 100 camps under my belt . They have great staff plus knowledgeable and personable instructors and the location is clean. Even though this is a group setting (camp/class), instructors pay attention to each individual and push them to do better! Classes are a combination of weight and functional HIIT training. Every week is different so there is never any monotony, and the camps are high energy and fun! You work out together as a group and build friendships and community! In addition to the workouts, they offer focus meetings where each member can meet with an instructor to talk through and define goals, understand their body composition and measurements and work towards getting better! And guess what - they have free childwatch while you work out. It's really a no-brainer. 45 mins to focus on yourself and no worry about kids, distractions etc. Plenty of free parking, complimentary towels, shower room, and the best community!!

    From the owner: Burn Boot Camp Druid Hills in Atlanta GA is a fitness concept where women inspire one another…read morethrough physical fitness and health. Personal Trainers run the workout sessions that are offered multiple times throughout the day, last 45 minutes, and are comprised of 72 different styles including HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) and 15 different formats. Workouts take place on our proprietary Floating Floor in a group fitness setting. Clients learn about healthy eating and exercise tips at our gym, while benefiting from increased strength, weight loss, and more confidence while operating on a five-pillar philosophy: mindset, whole food nutrition, burst training, strength training and positive environment.

    Operation Boot Camp Mercer

    I cannot say enough great things about Operation Boot Camp!…read more If it were just a workout it would be a good program, but with the logbook (accountability), emails (motivation), and supportive instructors (encouragement), it's a fantastic program. I don't consider myself an athlete, but OBC has pushed me to realize I can do things I never imagined. Two weeks into the month I ran my very first 5K and managed to come in 16th for my age group! In just one month I have lost a dress size and gained TONS of energy I simply didn't have before. Oh, and my formerly stuffed-sausages called legs are now defined by muscles! The program cost seems pricey at first, but once I crunched the numbers I realized I actually saved money this month by eating out much less and not buying any alcohol! (Probably says too much about my bad habits prior to boot camp - ha ha!) I would argue one month of OBC has more value than an entire year of gym membership, where there is no personal attention, crowded classes & machines, and sometimes poor quality instructors. The OBC instructors *teach* the participants and *care* about our fitness. If Emily, Jessica, Shawn, and Sandy weren't volunteers I'd suggest they need raises! They do such an outstanding job encouraging, guiding, and teaching us. Deanna and Jim are great leaders, as well. Thanks for a fantastic month!

    I really enjoy Boot camp at Mercer. It offers me the friendly encouragement to strive to do better…read more I used to think that walking several miles a week was enough to keep in shape. When I started Boot Camp I realized that I really had week muscles and was not strong at all. The instructors encourage me to push myself to do better while understanding that everyone has different fitness levels. My family is so proud of me...and so I am I!
