This review is based on my tour of the gym. TL;Dr: The tour was very thorough. The gym is very updated and I have no noticed any odors that the others reviewed, they must have fixed it. The theater cardio room and the female only sections were my favorite. They are always staffed, even late into the night - so you are never alone. We signed up after the tour because we were all pleased. (we were not pushed in any way to sign up). Below are more details about each sections. I am very pleased to see that we have this gym open up. I have been curious about this gym for awhile, and decided today was the day I came to check it out. They are doing a promotion at the moment when the enrollment fee will be $10 for the basic, gold package. They have 3 packages: Gold (which is $10/mo), Platinum (20/mo), and Diamond (30/mo). Gold is the only package that is NO commitment, the others have a 12 month term. You are able to freeze your account for 3 months without penalty. Aspire Fitness is located near Starbucks and Walmart, where the old LA fitness use to be. This gym is open 24/7. And they will always have a staff member in the gym. This is a huge plus for females in my opinion. If it gets dark outside, you are able to ask one of the staff members to walk you outside or watch you to make sure you are safe. (You can never be too sure) My first impression of the place was very pleased due to the bright colors. Everything has been updated and it looks really fantastic. We were greeted immediately by Edwin (I believe that was his name). He gave us a tour of the whole facility and was super kind for answering all of our questions. Highlighted rooms: -Theater cardio room: A different movie is played every day and it is on a loop. The room is dark and cool; but not at all stuffy. -Classes: The next room are for classes, such as zumba or kickboxing. You are able to use a projector to find something more your level if the rooms are not in use. Or if you just want a quiet, little sanctuary to meditate, I can totally see this as being a thing. -Main lobby: The main floor is divided by areas of the body/machine. Free weights are to the left of the building. They use Olympic weights that are made of rubber so it does not damage the weights or the ground when you drop it. -Female only section: There is a female only section that I find very appealing. They have all the machines and equipment available. So if the gym is packed and you are a female - feel free to utilize the guy-free zone. -Crossfit - like workouts: In front of the basketball court. They have even have a tire you can roll. -Second floor: The second floor are lined with different types of cardio machines if you just feel like watching TV. If TV aren't your thing, it seems that you can listen to the radio at each machine, which I think is a nice touch. -Locker room: The locker rooms are updated and they look very beautiful. I didn't notice any smell like the others have mentioned. -The pool is available for the Diamond package. They use freshwater and I didn't notice an odor in any of those areas. -Sauna, tanning and the massage chairs are available for platinum and diamond members and up. You are also able to bring one friend for free if you have either of the two package - not for the gold. Overall, I thought the tour was very thorough. I ended up signing up right there and then because I was very pleased with the facility. I'll update my review about my experiences as a member. read more

Aspire Fitness Austell - November 2017 cardio movie list. - Fitness & Instruction Near Me - Austell, Georgia

Aspire Fitness is new to Austell and I expect great things. Being the first to review them and them being only 5 days old I am being understanding with this review. In about 2 more weeks hopefully I'll come back and give it 5 stars. I had to take 1 star away because of how rocky the rollout was. For at least a month those of us that signed up were told repeatedly that the gym would be opening. It took over a month from the expected date for it to actually open. Hours - 5 Stars 24 hours a Day/ 7 Days a Week! There is always someone on staff and all areas are fully accessible. You can't beat this! The facility 4 - Stars This used to be the former LA Fitness location. I must say they have done a wonderful job of updating certain parts of the facility to be more modern and up to date. The bright colors, flat screen tvs, lights and metal makes it really exciting to come in and work out. The drag is they did nothing to the bathroom and pool and jacuzzi or sauna area. In fact. The pool area still has that foul smell it used to have at LA Fitness, which is why I never used it. They did update the lockers which add a nice flair. They could have done the same to the sinks and countertops, but whatever. The equipment - 4.5 Stars They have brand new, state of the art equipment including a Jones Machine (better than a Smith Machine), Olympic style plates, cross fit equipment, a very nice training area with a simulated tire throw, ropes, sled, parachute and more. There is also a Women's Only section, designated for Women. Sometimes it can be a little intimidating to work out with men grunting, sweating and dropping weights. This area allows women to workout in their own area. There are a few more pieces of standard equipment I wish they had like a triceps dip machine and more squat machines and at least 2 Jones Machines. Classes - 5 They have two separate classrooms one dedicated to spin and one dedicated to Zumba/Aerobics type classes. The cool part about it is they are VIRTUAL. That's right. You get to choose the amount of time and the intensity of your workout and then go in and have a class with your virtual instructor. There are no classes to sign up for or set times. Cardio Equipment - 5 Plenty or treadmills, ellipticals, bikes and stair masters. On top of that they have a 24-hour Cardio Theatre with a variety of different cardio equipment to choose from. You watch a movie in a movie theatre setting and this allows you to get your cardio in with a great distraction. There are other neat things to mention like the massage chairs, game room with a pool table and ping pong table (accessible to platinum and diamond members). A Kids Club where you can bring your children ($10 per child/per month) and a full size indoor basketball court. Choose from the $10/month Gold Membership, $20/month Platinum Membership or the $30/month Diamond Membership. The $10 membership does not require a contract while the 2 upgraded packages do. The staff is pleasant, friendly and helpful. There are quite a few that are still learning the ropes so double check what you are told but overall I expect great things and I look forward to my many workouts here. I've already canceled one of my other gym memberships. We'll see about the other one. read more

Really like this place for the price. I don't know why all of the negative reviews. What do I like: Great equipment. Other places have broken equipment all the time. Not here Awesome staff. I was NOT looking for friends but to work out. But I have made both. Shout out to Kevin, Arty, Wes. Kid's club. Want to go to the gym but kids getting in the way, Aspire has something for that. Shout out to Ms Hannah and Imani. What I don't like: Locker rooms. Place to improve here. I don't really need to be in there much and it's fine until you get to the stalls. This is more of a function of customer base and 24hrs operation. AC- they like to play games with the AC during the summer. This is probably the only item that makes me reevaluate my membership. Perfect in the cool months but up/down in summer. Virtual classes: I useD to put this heavily in my workouts But after they redid the studio after the water leak, you haven't put it back as an option for customers. Overall, for this price point, I am very satisfied. The pros outweighs the con so aspire to be great and check it out. read more

You know what would be GREAT? If Aspire reminded ALL of their members, ESPECIALLY MEN, that this is a place for people to work out! Not a place to pretend to help or be interested in someone's fitness only to ask them inappropriate questions about their relationship status or trying to pick them up. My sister has been ogled and approached by several men just in this last week. She has been a member for a year. She knows wtf she's doing and minds her own business. And yet! These slimy mofos keep interrupting her workout and making her feel uneasy- AT A PLACE THAT SHE PAYS MEMBERSHIP TO BE! Maybe start banning or fining repeat offenders. Or does this gym value money over people's safety? Would love to hear something from Management about this. read more

Ummm... seriously !! I'm not sure who wrote the last few reviews , but I can definitely tell u as a customer for the past few months at this place , that it is ridiculously Nasty... Please Hire New Management because clearly the management at this facility could care less about the quality of this place. One of the things that got me here to pay for a membership in the first place ' was the fact that they were open 24 hrs. The gym itself is pretty decent but the locker rooms and equipment are disgusting most of the time. They barely ever have wipes to clean the equipment off. U have very gross lazy members who exercise and sweat all over the machines and then just walk away without even cleaning it. ( probably because there are never any wipes ) When u have a gym with $10 memberships obviously the quality of some of the members is not going to be the best. In About 4 months I've only seen someone clean the locker rooms twice. The floors are trashed and never mopped , trash not emptied except for maybe once a day. Nothing ever wiped down as far as the sinks counters etc. people spit inside the sinks and don't rinse them out. I have photos of the garbage to hopefully send to cooperate. The thing that gets me is that they always want your money monthly and also on top of that , they take a " SO CALLED " annual maintenance fee but there is no maintenance ever !! *** The Sauna always has tons and dust and trash inside of it and people actually have to sit in there and inhale all that garbage which is definitely an issue for the health department I think ***** Along with the other filth added to it. Also, there is clearly a sign that says to shower before entering the sauna and sit on a towel but NO ONE EVER DOES !! They go right in there after working out , like it's no big deal. Another issue for the health department especially since u can possibly get staph infection that way. Very unhealthy environment in a place where u go to get healthy.. ummmm again !! I've tried talking to the manager, but all he did was play stupid like he had no idea why things are so dirty. I brought a friend on a guest pass and she even complained to them as well. So embarrassing! Then make workers will just walk in the women's locker room without announcing themselves.. how rude . 2 toilets had broken seats.... bench in shower has been broken for over 4 months. Trash in showers. read more

Aspire Fitness Austell - Fitness & Instruction Near Me - Austell, Georgia

I docked off a star because I'm tired of walking into the women's locker room and the first thing that hits me is the smell of a really bad case of the runs. I mean, really? I have learned since being here to always place my things in a locker near the exit, because I seriously cannot stand the smell. I never had this issue at Planet Fitness or the times when I was at LA. The locker rooms there are well-ventilated, but the ones at Aspire are just terrible. I may just bring this to the attention of management in the future. Despite this, I truly like this gym. There is a variety of machines to use and there is literally everything for everyone. My favorite features of this gym is the women's only section and the cardio theater. I don't care for the movie selection at the theater, I just go inside because I love the idea of a dimly lit cardio room and it's usually empty. The women's only section is great! I can always guarantee that I'll have a machine or weights to use without any issue. One thing that is annoying though is when men will enter and act entitled about it. I've encountered two so far since I got my membership about a month ago. I overheard one woman tell her boyfriend or whatever that he can't be there and his response was "so?" How douchey. The massage chairs are great too and I like that there are dividers between them, and that they are facing the windows. It's nice and private. The eye candy is nice also. Lots of cute men and the male employees are too. read more

I definitely can not recommend this place. I paid for a one year membership in full, back in May, but suddenly another charge from them has popped up on my statement. I've tried to contact them about it but no one has responded to me, so I had to file a dispute with my credit card company. If you have ever given your credit card information to this place, please check your statement for additional charges! Don't let them take additional money from you without your consent. Otherwise, as a gym... It's alright- this place is pretty new but somehow the building and machines all look and work like they're 5-10 years old. Fabric ripping, rackety, all that. The hack squat machine has been broken since I started coming. It's open 24/7 and reasonably priced, and I love the plyo area (though I wish it was bigger). So all in all, it's alright. I know they want to open more locations but I think they should focus on fixing this one up first. read more

Nasty. 3/4 of machines are broken. 3/4 of sinks are broken. Showers are not well kept. Sauna is always broken. Hot Tub, I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be that color and it stinks. Don't worry, if you decide to join, pay the minimum because you will have access to everything. The associates there don't bother checking if you have to standard versus the premium membership. I feel like a sucker, have I known the workers were so lax, I would have purchased the standard. O yeah, the ceiling leaks water, the lockers are missing backs, one of the workout room the pipe burst and now that room's floor rises two ft off the ground. The room looks like an earthquake hit it, literally. Also one last thing, the massage chairs are ALL broken! Just shut down and move on already. Aspire you have failed miserably. I thought this was supposed to be a new gym.... read more

Like this Gym's concept BUT come on now it's took this gem months to open after open enrollment and still it seems like it's poorly put together as shown in the pictures some of the Taps in the bathroom are out of order as well as well as them being Rusty already. The sauna is not in working order yet.. this gym has been open for a month. They don't have any equipment cleaner to spray down equipments after use. This place can't of passed inspection!! they still have things hanging off the wall or not fully sealed. ‍‍ read more

This gym started out great. Looked nice and has a better variety of equipment than Planet Fitness at the same price point. The cardio theater is still a great touch and the video cardio is great (when they work). But after a while, you start getting what you pay for. There's almost always equipment that is broken or malfunctioning so you're constantly having to switch up your workout routine or skip an exercise altogether. The men's bathroom is almost always gross. Soap dispensers are always missing or broken. Toilet tissue dispensers have been broken for the past 6 months. Good luck if the paper towel dispenser is full. You'll often find the toilets nasty. It's just gross in there. Highly suggest you don't do anything except put your stuff in the lockers and walk out. Sanitizer wipe dispensers are a hit or miss. They might be full, they might not. Good luck! Bottom line is, management has "0" concerns about the details. It's very much like choosing between Kroger and Publix: Popeyes and Chick-fil-A. You can get your groceries at Kroger and you can get your chicken at Popeyes, but you actually ENJOY shopping at Publix and eating at Chick-fil-A. Sure, you can get your workout done at Aspire, but you don't necessarily "enjoy" being there. read more

Aspire Fitness okay gym for the price. Could be better. There's tons of trash in the parking lot. Pros: Open 24 hours Friendly staff $10/ month plan plus the one time fee of $40 to clean the gym Theatre Room for cardio Cons: Staff is young, so more concerned about their personal lives Theatre Room no heat in the winter and no a/c in the summer ( feels like 30 in the winter and 9o degrees in the summer) Not very clean, especially the parking lot is nasty For the most part equipment works I will return to LA Fitness read more

Please be aware. Like the gym but would not recommend signing a personal training contract. First day of training, trainer was a NO SHOW. One manager said the trainer did not know he was on the schedule, the other said he was in a car accident. The third session trainer was a NO SHOW. Spoke to manager requested a cancellation due to breach of contract but he stated cancellations have to go through corporate. Left corporate several messages, goes straight to voicemail and no return phone call. I was told the sessions were an hour and they were only 30 minutes. These people have no integrity, they charged my credit care $529 and I have to go through hoops to get my money back. Stay away! read more

Bad customer service. Rude workers. Smelly facility. Not impressed by any means. I wish they had a better experience for us to come to enjoy the facility but they don't. Very disappointed. read more

Very nice gym and great price If you are looking for a gym this would be the one I would recommend.

Im not sure where to start. So I think ill start by mention the Roof of the building on the second floor of the gym that looks as if it going to cave in any minute now. Ive been a member for almost a year and so has the whole in the ceiling from the leak. But wait theres more !!!! If thought there was only one hole in the ceiling theres TWO!!! one in the girls locker room. (I'd hate to see the mens locker room) Next id like to point your attention to the stains on the carpet. As if they dont seem to believe in carpet cleaners. Next on the list is the broken saunas. As stated before ive been a member for almost a year and the saunas been broken 6 times to be exact. Showers are cleaned once a week so be advised to have shoes to wear in the shower (99 cents flip flops works for me ). The locker room lockers' are broken the wall in the back of the lockers are not attached to the locker. The pool has a funny discoloration The jacuzzi (which I may be a little biased on because I dont believe in jacuzzi) seems to also have a tad bit discoloration. WARNING IF YOU DISREGARD EVERYTHING I SAID REMEMBER THIS. GET A CANCELLATION ANY TIME FEE ADDED TO YOUR MEMBERSHIP ITS ONLY AN ADDITIONAL 5 DOLLARS. last but not least the employees suck. When I brought this to their attention (night shift) they laughed in my face and pretended to be a manager. literally laughed in my face and then when I called the manager (day shift) all she had to tell me was call corporate and we are trying to fix the issue at hand and ill hold a team meeting about the staff. Not to mention they advertise 24/7 however they are only open until 11 m-t and f-s close at 9. I HAVE PICTURES! read more

It's ok. Convenient and near my house. Joined for the pool. No towels provided, no clock in pool area, no hooks to hang anything on while you are taking a shower, all of which are annoying. Locker room set up is awkward. However, I'll keep going just for convenience factor. read more

The gym facility is nice, however it is poorly ran and I do not recommend the personal training department. The front desk personnel rarely answer the phone and when they do answer it seems they are not in the know of what is going on and how to direct your call. read more

Pitiful!!! Will nickel and dime you to death. Physical assessment to get a fitness plan (that you don't even get a copy of), is a sham & is only used to sell you ridiculously high fake personal trainer sessions that you could basically do on your own. I got the Diamond membership just to use the pool, but it doesn't look or smell clean so I'm not going to use it. I paid 1st and last month in advance, then $30 per month THEN $58 to cancel. Most - not all - employees aren't professional or even familiar with fitness, and probably never leave the party at the front desk. There are better options in the area, so yeah, they got my money but I got nothing in return! read more

This place is good if you are just looking to lift weights. They have a good amount of free weights, machines and cross-fit equipment and you can usually get a good workout in even if it's busy. The people there generalyl are there to work out and not just hang out and I've never been bothered by anyone. Go to the bathroom before you go and bring your own hand sanitizer. Here are the big issues: 1) Bathrooms are gross. They are never clean and usually are out of soap. The lockers look nice but when you open them up most of their backs have been unched out. They only stock soap in 2 out of the 8 sinks and they don't upkeep the sinks they keep soap at. The faucets are broken and they don't provide hand sanitizer so who knows what is on those dumbbells! Also, the toilet paper dispensers are always broken and often times the rolls are on the floor or in the "splash zone". 2) Their air conditioner keeps breaking or leaking so they only turn it up so high. Since the treadmills are on the second floor all the heat from the weight area rises and you can maybe run a mile before you are pouring sweat and almost passing out. You can use the movie room which is cooler due to being on the first floor and the lights being off. There are only 6 treadmills and they blast the sound so forget abut listening to music or podcasts. 3) They need to buy movies that were made after 2008: Hancock, Xmen, Spiderman, Hercules, Clash of the Titans, all on repeat. 4) I don't use the pool, sauna, or hot tub. Based on the fact that they can't keep two sinks operational, reload the wipe dispenser properly, or bother to fix holes in the walls so I wouldn't expect them to properly maintain sanitary conditions. Honestly, I'm surprised the health department doesn't shut them down. 5) They have a ton of televisions on the second floor cardio area. You're out of luck if you want to watch anything beside HGTV or ESPN 2 though. If you ask them to change a channel most employees tell you they ae preset except for the decent employees who actually change the channel for you. read more

Worst experience ever at a gym. My issue is specifically with the Personal Training Dept. Waste of money. Revolving door of trainers. Sessions used are not adequately tracked. They dont explain that sessions are only 30 mins. End of the day, they over promise and under deliver!! Save your money and the headache. The gym itself is average. They have a few non-traditional pieces of equipment like sleds and slam balls. However, broken equipment goes un-repaired for long periods of time. Dont go out of your way to go here! read more

Love the new gym! Friendly staff - especially the Kids center. The cardio theater room is awesome too - makes cardio go by faster. The women's area is also great - appreciate it most when doing awkward exercises. You can't beat the price either. read more

I've had a membership here for almost a year now. I really love the theater where you can actually watch a movie while working out. However the childcare center is what won me over :) read more

This use to be a good gym to go too but the gym is so dirty & disgusting the restrooms are so gross they never have soap in the restrooms & they are always dirty for some reason. Sauna braking apart. read more

Do NOT sign up for this gym!! They've closed multiple locations in Colorado without warning and have had several locations seized due to failure to pay taxes. I'll be lucky if I ever see a refund for the year I paid up front after they abruptly closed our location. read more

Ok I beat Vince in HORSE ..but today Marcus beat me by 2 letters ...but I did get 3 letters on him ..good for an old lady . If you want to get exercise fun and hang out with kids go there ..they make you feel like family :) read more

Really bad. Sauna is always broken. You'll be lucky to even find paper towels. Staff just doesn't care, and honesty it's such a waste.

Like the atmosphere and the Olympic weights in the middle of the gym. No one reracks their weights and the gym needs more equipment (bars/clamps/plates). It only costs me $10/month so I can live with it BUT LA Fitness down the street looking real tempting. read more

What they dont tell you are the fees you will pay, you can upgrade but cant downgrade. You have to cancel your membership which is a fee and sign back up if you want a lower payment option. Equipment is always broke and forever to get fixed and the manager, the one with the greasy comb over will smugly tell you to your face he doesnt care pay your money. Policy here is to rake in the money at all costs with little regard to patrons. Dirty equipment, and for the most part useless staff. Kids club doesnt have heat in the winter and understaffed. Never again read more

The facility I really like, the layout, concept and color however this place needs a lot of improvement beyond that. I don't understand why the women's bathroom always smells like shit. Ive been going to this gym for almost a year and it's always smelt like that. What is astonishing is that they have a cleanup service and they're constantly cleaning (when I have been) but the smell is over bearing and disgusting. I don't know why the staff is unprofessional (night shift). They're laughing, running around, doing everything but working. And yes I understand there isn't much to do at night and you're bored but at least act professional. I was overcharged and no one knew how to help me, one girl just walked out the door and said "I don't know". If you don't know you don't need to work here period. This gym is new and you can clearly see that due to lack of organization, knowledge and professionalism. They will lose clients this way which will be sad because like I stated the facility is nice and the price is great (when charged correctly). This facility is rapidly growing and I don't know why I keep getting overcharged. I've been overcharged 4 times in the past year that I've been there. Unfortunately I no longer will be going to this gym which is so unfortunate because I did like it. Beware of the contract and always check to make sure they are charging you correctly! read more

The equipment was good, just make sure you look at your bank account after cancelling to see if they're still charging you.

The facility is run down, no corporate number to call and complain to. Been a member for several months and there is no key card to date, with no date in sight, for access to the club. I wouldn't recommend at all. You get a better experience with LA fitness for nearly the same price! read more

Need to fix equipment the cables are missing the clips people leave weight everywhere they should start giving people a warning. Gym should be maintained better read more

These folks lie about their cancellation policies. My daughter cancelled December 24th and we were told by their billing folks that they did not process until January 3 so that they could bill another month. They are misleading people regarding charges and they do not return phone calls. Do not go here!! read more

I love this gym! The cardio theater is awesome! The sauna is nice and relaxing. Sometimes you have to ask the associates to turn on the sauna or tanning bed because not everyone has access to those. You get access to everything for $30 a month! read more

Gym looks great... machines never get fixed crazy getting out the shower and they have a lady cleaning the Men's locker room.. also please get the sauna working been a month or more read more

Aspire Fitness is a good gym, the equipment is clean and new. The staff is friendly and it's a really good atmosphere; However, there are some things that have not worked since the gym opened in June like the sauna area. I also have constantly requested to have hangers or towel racks in the shower area to hang our towels to make it more convenient which still has not been done yet. I even spoke with a blonde hair lady that was there one morning from their corporate office. Still, no hangers to hang your towel on in the shower area. I have read the other reviews and they are basically saying the same things I am saying. Good gym, friendly staff but fix the broken stuff and please get the towel racks in the shower area. PLEASE!!!! read more

I signed up in November now it's June and they finally opened... I feel that they had more than enough time to make sure everything was right. There is no sauna. The pool was shut down for two days when I went. There is no hydromassage. The tanning bed is not available. The whirlpool is luke warm and the pressure is so weak. I signed up with the 20/month plan and they moved me up to a 30/month but it's the same thing I signed up for. The staff lied about the opening for the longest. They cost me money because I left my gym in January thinking they would be open in. February. I had to resign with the gym I was with and pay more than what I was before. The staff really did act like they didn't care if you were upset. When you called corporate they would say a different opening then what the staff was saying in store. Over all a huge mess. People would go and cancel their memberships when I would go to see when they were going to open. Right now I'm still paying for my other gym because they do not have everything available after the 8 months the have had to make sure everything was available for the customers. read more
