Just be aware of the cancellation policy. When you cancel be sure to cancel the day before your last payment. Otherwise You could be like me and cancel and then have to pay for another month and only get to use a small portion of your payment. I asked if since I made another payment for another month and only got a short period of it if I could continue to that value and they refused referring me back to the contract. More corporate customer service and less neighborhood "mom and pop" feel as you would expect.Otherwise the gym is clean. Sometimes you have to wait to use any of the weight lifting equipment. They have plenty of cardio equipment. All other experiences were fine except for the cancellation.

I tried to go in to sign up for a membership and there was no staff available to sign me up. Very frustrating because I was looking forward to joining.

Great gym that has a family feel. Way more personal than the other places in Athens. 24 hours, so you have time to make it in.

There's everything anyone could want here for a successful workout. Squat racks, barbells, dumbbells, cable machine, etc. They provide small towels for your workout which is nice and a place to refill your water bottle. Never used the showers, so no opinion there. They don't do year-long contracts which is a huge plus. Highly recommend.

Been here a month and its just great. Not super crowded, good, clean equipment, and the music rotates between styles so everyone gets something they like. Free towels, filtered water, showers.

Fitness @ Five is simply the best gym in Athens. The owners provide a friendly atmosphere and all the equipment that most people need. Along with 24/7 access and the cost this gym is hard to beat. I would recommend Fitness@5 to anyone new to the area or looking for a change.

This place frustrates like no other. For 2 days I had been in e-mail contact setting up a time to meet with a trainer. I had informed them that I had all day open and said I could come anytime in the afternoon. When I gave one as the time I would be there the manager I had been e-mailing with said that would be fine. However, from 12:30 to 2 you need a code to get inside the building. I sat outside for 20 minutes and finally gave up. (this was after calling twice and sending an e-mail) When I did get ahold of someone to tell them not to bother passing my info on to the trainer I wouldn't be using their services I get the response, "Yeah it was really weird because I guess you were both here at the same time but she was inside and you were outside." Although I can't totally judge the gym since I was never inside the building I wouldn't ever care to deal with such incompetence again! If they knew from 12:30 to 2 I would need a pass card to even enter the building why when I suggested 1 would they say sure that's a good time. Not to mention that I had driven 30+ minutes out of my way to come to this gym. They were NOT helpful in finding a solution suitable for me.

Just joined this gym and so far I couldn't be happier - if that ever changes I will come back and edit, but I don't feel like I will need to. The staff is incredibly pleasant, membership is limited to 1000 people to avoid over crowding, music isn't too loud, and the facility is clean and bright. Membership is monthly with no extra fees, (the earlier reviewer didn't read the contract apparently) only 38 dollars per month, and that includes showers, cardio, weights, punching bag, water and towels, etc. Tanning is available and only 5 dollars per session... I couldn't be happier! I don't work for them, I am just a happy customer!
