Fitness & Gyms in Buford, GA

“It’s been 8 months since I started training Jiu Jitsu at SBG Buford and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I wanted to get back to a fitness routine which I slacked on during the pandemic and this time I wanted to do something different than only lifting weights. Even without any previous grappling experience, Jiu Jitsu has been amazing to learn and develop at SBG. I mostly train under Coach Greg, Woo and Sean. They are amazing at elevating your game while maintaining a safe and challenging environment. Coach Greg has been very helpful from my very first class and continues to help me get better at this. The entire staff at SBG strive to make you feel welcome; starting from the front desk to everyone who is part of the team. The mutual respect that every member who trains here has for each other is a testimony by itself. I’m so happy to be part of the tribe. Also, as an added bonus, I’ve lost 12 lbs since I started here!”

“If you have a teenager who is staying all the time at the computers or phones, this is the place where they can do some exercise and work out. The trainers are very friendly and know how to deal with all ages. Recommend them 100%”

“My kids love training at Peak. They do weight lifting and speed and agility. The trainers work for their age/size and my boys love going. Sometimes we have to pull them out. ”

“** Edited - Mr. Cleve Long (founder) took the time to personally call me and was extremely apologetic about my unsatisfactory experience. He was very sincere and pleasant to speak with. Happy to say that I joined and became a member of Bodyplex Fitness - Hamilton Mill location! **Called to inquire about pricing and after my trial period, they are charging a more expensive monthly fee. Front staff (Jennifer) has terrible customer service. When asked to have Owner consider honoring the original quoted price, she stated that prices are increased due to staffing salaries (she never asked the owner/mgr). Additionally, I contacted the business via online messaging through the website but no response. This is not how you recruit more customers!”

“I set up personal training sessions for my parents with Henderson and they absolutely love going to Buford Family Fitness.Henderson is a terrific guy, very knowledgeable trainer. I'm happy that he is helping taking care of my parents health.”

“Every time I come into the gym, I am loved and welcomed by Brooklyn. She always has the biggest the smile and boosts my start to the gym. The excitement and dedication she brings to work everyday shows me how much she truly cares about everyone who has a membership at planet fitness. She’s always ready to work and always available for you at the front desk. Brooklyn is a crew member planet fitness never knew they needed!”

“With new local ownership and a full staff, this gym is the best in the area. Unless of course you value standing around chatting and waiting for equipment, then there are plenty of other options available.”

“Updating my review from crazy Covid times. I’m a truck driver and parking is my first concern, this location is a little tricky but I’ve parked in the back but you can easily get trapped in there if cars pull in, best bet is across the street in the larger parking lot or in the back next door and make the walk. Smells a little funky but hot shower, cold water fountain, all la fitness are getting old and not playing but this one gets the job done and I’d come back.”

“Really great facility! Definitely the place to go if weight lifting is your jam. There is never a shortage of equipment here as this huge warehouse is absolutely slammed pack with racks, cable machines, free weights, and a whole fleet of cardio machines.

Cons for me -
Cleanliness is not a priority. Only hand-dryers in the bathrooms (a terrible bacteria spreader), the wipes are not replaced in a timely-manner when the dispensers are empty, and I have yet to see a single trainer wipe down equipment after they're done with a client.

Secondly, there's no dedicated stretch area. The HIIT zone is there, but only when classes are not in session. If you need to cool down when it's roped off, you gotta awkwardly wedge yourself in somewhere in the crowded (and usually dirty) floor.

Despite this, Crunch is definitely the best bang for you buck out of the gyms in this area! Whether you're an experienced gym rat with a set routine, or a newbie needing some guidance, you won't be disappointed!”
