“I was an out-of-town guest, so there was not much incentive because I was not returning. Nonetheless, I felt welcome and got one of the best workouts that I can remember.”

“I was 42 with 4 kids within 6 years (thanks COVID) and my body wasn’t bouncing back. I joined Georgia Strength because I was tired of throwing out my back picking up toys/kids, being out of shape, and frustrated with my “shrinking” clothes. Mostly clean eating/Keto/intermittent fasting weren’t working as I had hoped. But worst of all? I didn’t have the energy to play with my young kids. Ali and Brent taught me how to lift safely, grow measurably stronger and improve mobility. Best of all, they tailor workouts for me: a postpartum body with diastasis recti. Their level of knowledge is so extensive that I trust them to do things I wouldn’t dare attempt. Not all CrossFit gyms are the same. They genuinely care and remember your body issues. Ali and Brent will meet you where you are at. I’ve been going 3x/week for 62 weeks (and counting) and I’m changing for the better. For me, the increase in energy levels, ability to wear clothes I once avoided, and the bragging rights I badger my husband with are nothing compared to my kids’ admiration. They think their mommy is the strongest. And I am. Made possible by Georgia Strength. To top it all off, this is my community, my home away from home. That happens when you workout as hard as we do. Come and see for yourself.”

“I have loved being a member at total trianing center. It has everything I want in a gym- range of equipment, access to trainers but not any pressure to do so, community, ease of access, an outdoor covered space in the back, and the location means a great run/walk warmup loop in boulevard neighborhood ☺️Dani runs a wonderful gym.”

“I never worked out to any success before. Coach Paul took me from baby steps to being able to push my limits every day both in and out of the gym. This is the premier gym in Athens.”

“I love Above Barre! The instructors and other people in the classes are so nice and have become great friends to me. They were so kind and welcoming when I first started working out here and it helped motivate me to keep coming. The classes are fun and challenging-each day is unique! I have seen so much improvement in my strength and health and overall attitude towards fitness since joining. Going to the Barre is now a regular part of my routine and I highly recommend it!”

“This place is awesome. Friendly and helpful receptionists and assistants/apprentices, incredibly knowledgeable physical therapists. The people are great, and have huge personalities. Everyone is always laughing and joking, all the while maintaining a professional environment and taking care of patients. I laugh several times every therapy session, overhearing conversations or even being included in them. Makes the time go by quickly, and distracts from the pain of therapy. The staff obviously loves working w/ one another. I was fortunate enough to have an appointment on Halloween this year. Everyone coordinated to dress as superheroes, w/ the exception of two guys as ZZTop”

“Ramsey student center is an Olympic games level sports center with all kinds of facilities - one of the best in the country. Especially notable are the its swimming pools and diving pool. Several events took place here during the 1996 Olympic games. The suroundings of the Ramsey center has plush grasses and winding walk ways. It is very pleasant and relaxing to walk around there. Do not confuse this place with the Tate Center which is far from the South here on the North side and is an ugly place.”

Most importantly the ownership over the last year has made this place OUTSTANDING! 10/10 highly recommend.”

“I always hate working out and have found gyms to be overwhelming with their bright colors, loud music, and crowded machinery. This is THE BEST gym and has changed my outlook on staying active. If it weren’t for this gym, I wouldn’t go to the gym… it’s so clean, the staff are kind, it’s calming, there’s natural light and nice music, and I just feel encouraged every time I step in the door. I know so many people that have made this part of their routine and it helps people feel accomplished and supported. It’s amazing how a gym can bring comfort, joy, and encouragement to your everyday life. :) I’m so thankful…”

“Best place to get a workout when in Athens. Just the right size and have towel service, clean and all the equipment you need and more. Probably the best location too.”

“I absolutely LOVE this studio. It's so quaint, right in the heart of Five Points. I've taken several different classes and throughly enjoyed every single one of them. From Flow to Power you can find any sort or workout you're looking for. The instructors are incredible and always willing to help and guide you through the class. I always leave refreshed, relaxed, and revitalized. Definitely my favorite studio in Athens hands down!!”

“Pros:•Staff is polite and responsive•I always see people cleaning, whether I come at 1am or 11am•Broken things tend to get fixed within a few visits•The vibe is very chill and everyone does their own thing•I’ve never had to wait more than a minute or so (during peak times, for one of the few machines with no duplicates)Cons (sort of, more like minor annoyances):•Would really love a gym with sauna/hot tub/pool, but it also wouldn’t be as affordable as PF•Same deal with a squat rack, but I am fully aware that it isn’t PF’s business model and that’s okay!•As some other reviewers mentioned, there are occasionally homeless folks inside (1 or 2, late below freezing nights). They have never bothered me, I have never bothered them, I don’t feel unsafe at all. It’s not uncommon for ACCPD to stop in and stretch their legs and check on staff for a few—in other words, I’ve never felt uncomfortable or unsafe.•The only thing that isn’t clean in the building is the mirror wall ? but given how clean everything else is, I’m not losing any sleep over it.•My only REAL complaint: the crowd meter. 2/10 is peopley. 3/10 is almost overwhelming for me. I’d hate to imagine 10/10. I’m not sure how they determine the levels, but I’d recommend coming when it’s at 3 or less.Overall I’ve compared it extensively with other local gyms and really haven’t found anything better, especially for the price point.”

“I absolutely LOVE Hotworx! This is not just a workout, its a relief system! Every time I was feeling stressed I would come here and feel like myself again. The staff is so friendly and accommodating! They also keep the equipment clean and the facility organized. Also a great place to go for a quick workout if you're in a time crunch because some of the classes are only 15 minutes! Highly recommend this place!”

“I had a membership at Crunch Fitness for the past year, and overall, my experience has been positive. The gym offers a wide variety of workout equipment, from machines to free weights. They have group fitness classes that have energetic instructors and diverse class options to keep workouts engaging. The cleanliness and maintenance of the facility were consistently impressive, creating a pleasant environment. While the gym can get busy during peak hours, the friendly staff and ample space generally make it a comfortable place to pursue fitness goals.”

“I've been coming here for at least 10 years now. I consider it my second home. The faculty and staff members are super friendly! The gym is so spacious and has all the equipment I need. It is literally the best gym in Athens or perhaps mostly in Georgia! I would definitely and highly recommend this place! GO DAWGS!”
