I am very grateful for Amy! She creates a great environment with challenging workouts that are creative and never repetitive. I highly recommend her gym.

I was in Atlanta for a week and had 5 individual kettlebell sessions with Amy, and 2 classes. My wife also had a session with her. This was my introduction to kettlebells. Amy is incredibly knowledgeable, observant, and her feedback is unbelievably helpful. A gem of a studio. I’ll go back every time I’m in Atlanta.

I have been going to Iron Root for about a year now and my results have been awesome! I have lost weight, gained strength (in just about every lift), and at the same time have increased my flexibility to just about the best it has ever been. This gym will give you results if you just stick with it. Having the different types of classes (yoga, Kettlebell, and group fitness) definitely keeps you from burning out on any 1 specific class. Not that throwing around kettlebells ever gets old.Great individual coaching is so valuable compared to just showing up to a gym with no trainer.

Amy rocks! I have been going to Iron Root for a year and that's the longest I have ever stayed dedicated to any fitness routine! She is such an amazing instructor along with Chris and Jess. It's a great crowd and you end up getting to know everyone pretty well after awhile- which just adds to the supportive ambience! :)

The gym owner is the absolute best.

Some similarities to CrossFit; however comparatively, this studio has a decreased risk of injury based on the style of work out. Professional feedback by instructor to ensure correct movements. Can be VERY difficult for even college athletes, but can be scaled back for any level of fitness.

Amy is a fantastic coach with an eye for details! If you're looking for Kettlebell Group training in the East Atlanta/Old Fourth Ward/Inman Park area, check out Iron Root!

Drop-ins beware you must take Saturday intro class first. Their website says "Visiting from out of town or want to try a couple of classes to see what we're all about? Drop ins are welcome for group fitness and kettlebell classes (with previous experience)." But the only thing that counts as "previous experience" is to have taken their once a week introductory class on Saturday. Experience at other studios will not count. I sat in Atlanta traffic forever to get to this place, searched for a parking place, waited for the instructor to appear and then couldn't take the class. It's fine to have the requirement, but make it clear on the website.

The BEST exercise studio! I feel so lucky to have found and joined Iron Root. Amy is an amazing coach, always making me do more than I believe I can. Amy cheers everybody on, the environment of the studio is great, the people are terrific, and Iron Root has made me a happier and healthier person. I love it!

I joined Iron Root because Amy has the most fantastic yoga workout class in the city. I've started working with Kettle Bells and can't wait to try Group Fitness. This is a really nice small gym, focusing on total fitness. I love the unlimited class membership and the flexible schedule offerings. Working out here gives you the added benefit of Oakland Cemetery and Atlanta skyline views. :)

I've been going to Iron Root for 2 months now and I love it. The gentle coaching is exactly what I need to stay motivated to an exercise program. Group fitness and kettlebells I've discovered are great ways to total body fitness instead of focusing on one muscle at a time on gym equipment.
