Athens Health & Fitness

I love the private women's gym and how its located so conveniently, in the women's locker room. They also have a sauna, which I enjoy after my workout. I love that they have two ropes to climb, of different difficulty. So much comes with my basic membership, I'm glad I left Planet Fitness! There is a barre gym next door, for which they offer access through an add-on to my current membership. When I showed interest in it at my sign up, the employee gave me a "free first class" pass to try it out. Really chill staff, overall Athens Health and Fitness is my favorite gym in Athens!

I really enjoy this gym as it's much less crowded than crunch. A good bit of the equipment is in disrepair but it all functions so it doesn't bother me. The biggest issue I have is that the gym closes at 8pm on the weekends. I think this is much too early especially since crunch is 24/7 for the same price. If they pushed it back to 10 or 11pm it'd be a perfect fit for me.

This morning I was scouting out gyms to see prices, facility, atmosphere, etc. I went to Crunch first because of their well advertised cheap price, and I was NOT impressed with their customer service. When I asked for information on their gym, I was looked at as if I was weird for asking. I’m sure its a great gym, however I came to Athens Fitness next and WOW what a difference! I was greeted immediately at the desk, and was promptly taken on a well informed tour of the facility. The atmosphere was more peaceful and less crowded than when I walked in Crunch and I felt welcomed to be there. I always feel intimidated entering a a gym facility, however this was the opposite experience. I felt like it was okay to maybe not be the most knowledgeable person when it comes to fitness and my questions and concerns were accommodated. Their women’s locker room has a private ish vanity area not necessarily separate , but in its own section inside the locker room sort of where you can do your makeup/prep after a workout and not feel in the way of other people! That and the showers are so ideal for students/people who commute to Athens because you can freshen up somewhere when you are far from home! Last but not least, they have a Planet Smoothie with an area where you can sit and work on something before/after your workout. And I LOVE Planet Smoothie. I can’t wait to come back here! Thank you Athens Fitness!

This gym is great. Has about everything anyone that works out could ask for. From having two or more of every kind of machine, to all kinds of different benches, this gym has it all. On top of that, they just opened up a huge room that will have all new deadlifting platforms with bumper plates. Overall, it is the best gym I have ever been to.

I started going to this gym about a month or so ago. Compared to other gyms, I love the fact that there is an only woman's center right off the main gym that I can go to if I do not want to feel watched or bothered like in some other gyms. I also really like that they have childcare with amazing girls who watch my kids. I have not experience any wait time for the cardio equipment on either side of the gym and all the equipment I have used is awesome! They have added a bunch of new equipment and look to be adding a bunch more, which is so nice! I would recommend this gym to anyone, it caters to all sizes/skill level and the staff is so helpful!!

I have been going to AHF for about 7 years now and still find it to be the best gym in the Athens Area! Anytime there has been any issues, management was quick to resolve it (broken equipment, sanitation, etc.) the front desk staff is always very personable upon entering and leaving. I always get a Hey Lauren and a goodbye. With all the renovations recently done, there is no wait for equipment. It is all strategically placed and makes it easy to get a leg day and or shoulder day completed! There are ample squat racks, brand new dumbbells, a hip thruster machine and plenty of mirrors! (for all you selfie people). 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a friendly, clean and well equipped gym!

This is the best gym in and around Athens! It is spacious, the staff is friendly and I love the atmosphere. They just got all new dumbbells, they are kid friendly (with adult supervision for safety purposes), have a kids club, an all female side, and so many classes to choose from! I have been a member for several years and have never had any issues. Highly recommend!

Ever heard of a gym membership going to collections? You will here! I was a member for over a year. While I can not say for sure if it was from the old outdated equipment or the lack of padding on the equipment, I ended hurting my sciatic nerve while in this gym. I was nervous about going back and injuring myself again and did not go the last 4 to 5 months that I paid for. My debit card number got compromised & canceled because of another place and when the manager, Kayla, text me about updating my debit card, I simply responded with "please cancel my account." I did not want a refund for months not used, just did not want to continue paying and not going. So, since they have a 30 day cancelation period... What Kayla informed me was that they would not cancel my membership and keep charging it until 85 days hit... Once 85 days past due hit, the gym would just sell my inflated 3 months membership to a collection agency...this harming my credit standings and would have to pay more for 3 months membership, I never would have had an opportunity to use. Do not join this gym, they will never let you leave without paying for additional months.

The facility is clean and has a nice layout, however broken equipment, massage chairs etc. Can go months before being repaired and their prices/plans are never consistent. I was a member prior to new ownership, which thankfully made my contract invalid so I was able to leave and not be stuck there. I may a lot less rate for another local membership whose team is phenomenal, always available to answer questions, has more benefits, a variety of classes, childcare, equipment maintenance is quick, no contract and their personal trainers have amazing prices and actually listen to their clients.

Love the facility and the variety of equipment and classes. Amazing staff always friendly and eager to help. Jay gave is the tour and signed us up. Really enjoyed talking to him. Very friendly and knowledgeable. The GM Ken is an awesome person. Had a personal training session with Chris. He is awesome as well. Very knowledgeable and knows what he is talking about. Everyone there is just friendly and encouraging. The child care are is so wonderful to have. The ladies in there are so sweet and really love working with children. I left another gym to come to this one and so happy I did. Every staff member I have spoken with knew what they were taking about and I truly felt like they cared and that we were not just adding to the sales. Most amazing gym ever.
