    The facilities are in a rather small location in a strip mall. It seems rather safe, clean, well lit and hygenically sound. Body Design is ideal for those who are out of shape and need to build up a basic level of work out consistency and stabilization. The equipment is not very great nor is the selection. This consists of 1 treamill, 1 eliptical and 1 stationary bike in addition to kettle bells, medicine balls, jump ropes, resistance bands and those rinky dink customizable dumbells that stop at 95lbs. They have other little things such as punching bags but in my 3 months there, they were never worked into my workout. So it goes. They also offer free cardio blast sessions to members at Piedmont Park at 6am and 6pm M-F and then Saturday mornings at 10am. As I just mentioned, I've been there for 3 months and in that time have had 5 trainers. Not due to cycling or the need to share innovative workouts or ideas, but the fact that the personal trainers in this location run like a turnstyle. The reason for this is up for debate. Having heard straight from the horses mouths of why these personal trainers left, they will tell you the owner of the business is one of the most megalomaniacal people they've worked for. I've met this gentleman on three occasions. On the first, I introduced myself to him, spoke highly of my enthusiasm for joining his gym and he could care less for me. The second, after one month there, I commented to him that after my first 30 days I am seeing gains and general improvement in addition to asking him specific questions pertaining to the meal plans they provide and other related questions, could care less by responding with just follow what's on the meal plan and dismissed my compliments towards his facility. The final time, he was there and approached my friend who goes to work out with me and told him verbatim, "hey bro i busted up your girlfriend this morning, busted her up real good", then laughed about it. He then went on to say how he isolated her out during morning Cardio Blasts and pushed her to physical extremes which caused her to be sick. This concluded my friend and his girlfriend's membership. Back to the trainers; the trainers that prospected me in were gone by the time I joined mainly because they were tasked with the chore of telemarketing their services as well, overworked and treated poorly. The trainers, who you really have to sympathisize for work 6 days a week, nearly if not 12 hours a day and really don't get paid as you'd think. From a very limited perspective, it's similar to a Ponzi scheme. I would have left after month one had I not felt sympathy towards the trainers. The owner however has his own version of the story of why previous trainers have left and again, it's subject to debate as to how much of each version is true. The workouts are completely different from what I am accustomed to coming from an actual gym. I would best describe it as "weighted resistance cardio training". After a while the workouts become stale and repetitive. I've on numerous occasions spoke to both trainers currently there and expressed my 3 desired goals and 4 target areas I'd like to see the most improvment in on me; nothing changed. There is a feeling that there is no "personal" in your personal training as the current class I'm in consists of 3 other people of very different ages, body types and levels of strength and we are all given the same weights, workouts and reps. I was put in this class by one of the trainers as she felt I was being matched up with other members that have the same focuses in mind, this couldn't be farther from the truth. I no longer break sweats, become winded, no longer feel challenged and have become bored with the routine. Again, not great for me but absolutely great for someone who is several months removed from working out or first timers. Body Design also provides meal plans for their clients. At first I was excited by the notion of having something personalized that I could follow and commit to in terms of dieting...until I found out they generally give the male clients identical meal plans...that weren't customized to me and weren't administered by the trainers I saw. So who put these together and how do they know what's best for me? What if I have a peanut allergy? Having a friend who's currently studying to become a certified personal trainer, I showed her the meal plan that was "customized" for me and she told me to stop following it. It's built like a choose your own adventure with no sound structure and an overabundance of protein. I won't drill deeper in detail but to put it simply, it's not that good of a meal plan. There is no annual contract, it's monthly billing. Overall, Body Design is an adequate starter gym until you find something better.

    I have been working out here for a month now. When I first started my program. My endurance was low and I hate to admit it but I couldn't even do a real push up!! So just a month after starting this journey, aside from loosing inches and my body fat percentage going down ... I can now do like 10 push ups! My upper body has always been my weakest part and the hardest area for me to improve in. I absolutely LOVE working out here . The trainers are knowledgable .. They motivate and push you to do your best , AND they are very nice ! It really feels like a family here and I love that! I can't wait to see more improvements over time and look forward to continuing my training here! This is by far one of the best places I've worked out at !!!

    Feeling accomplished after that workout!!

In addition, Citadel Nutrition's line of supplements is ON POINT. I've never seen a supplement company with such minimal ingredient lists. Their Tier 1 pre-workout leaves me feeling energized but not jittery, and never feels like I just dosed myself with chemicals. Clean burn. I love that they have a powdered vitamin that I can mix in to shakes and whatnot instead of taking pills, and their fish oils are super high quality (no fishy burps!). The quality of their products is matched only to the quality of their gym space. The guys over at CN are genuine about their love of fitness and it shows.

    I generally operate by an "assume positive intent" mindset, but I'm sharing this in hopes of saving…read moreothers time, money, and frustration -- especially when it comes to something as important as your health and wellness. Don't go to STAT Wellness. There are far better wellness clinics in Atlanta with more knowledgeable providers, stronger communication, and a genuine focus on patient care over profit. Unprofessional communication, disorganization at every step, lack of medical depth, and a disappointing level of follow-through have made this one of the worst healthcare experiences I've had. My Experience: I began seeing Jacqui Bartholomew, Family NP, at STAT Wellness in April 2025 for help identifying hormonal and GI imbalances I've struggled with since IVF several years ago. From the start, scheduling was disorganized - two separate people (a "patient specialist" and front desk) responded to my messages in their app, leading to multiple appointment mix-ups. STAT requires an extremely detailed health history, lab uploads, and background forms, yet I'm still unsure that information was ever used. On more than one occasion, I reminded Jacqui of personal & maternal health history she seemed unaware of, which changed her recommendations. Cost: The initial visit was around $900. It did include an InBody scan - which, ironically, is free at most gyms but request for an update at my first in-person follow-up 6 months later was told it would be a couple hundred dollars ha. The first session was mostly conversational, and while Jacqui's tone was warm, her answers were vague or dismissive. Follow-up was painfully slow; it took nearly four weeks (April 22-May 19) for her to provide a plan. Caveat, some of the delay was due to continued scheduling mishaps mentioned above & a 1 week reschedule on my behalf. The follow-up visit was 30 minutes virtually just enough to skim lab results (and this wasn't free, it's another ~$200). My questions about blood levels were inconsistently answered - often with "false positive, don't worry about it." I was told to do the Whole30 diet, but no guidance was provided on implementation, reasoning, or reintroduction. The written notes afterward didn't include any pertinent details from our call. I have call recordings and documentation showing this gap. Jacqui also recommended electrolytes, suggesting I purchase specific in-house or branded options - none of which were Whole30 compliant. When I asked about the contradiction, the response (from a nurse via the app) was simply, "Jacqui says it's okay" or to make an at home version with OJ and coconut water. The communication setup was odd; you never actually hear from your provider directly. By my October follow-up, things had only worsened. Check ins are through the app and limited to patient-directed, many times I'd wait 1-2 weeks without a response. I never was asked how things were going, given guidance on whole30 reintroduction, asked if symptoms were improving based on the new supplements I was prescribed (through their in-house service, of course). Jacqui was about to go on maternity leave, and I tried to be empathetic, but if you're charging thousands for medical care, patients deserve focus and clarity. She again couldn't answer basic questions about my labs or protocol and told me the follow-up InBody scan would cost extra - for a machine that takes 60 seconds to use and is free elsewhere. By then, I had spent nearly $2,000 at STAT with little to show for it. Since leaving, I've done my own research, consulted other NPs, and even had AI analysis of my labs - and much of what I was told at STAT doesn't line up. When I finally sent feedback expressing my disappointment, the clinic offered a complimentary 30-minute consult with a different provider. I'm still undecided if I'll take it, it's currently scheduled for next week, but I wanted to share my experience in hopes others can make more informed choices. Bottom line: I wish I had something positive to say about STAT Wellness, but I simply don't. The care felt shallow, transactional, and misaligned with their stated mission. Save your time, your money, and your trust...there are many better wellness clinics in Atlanta.
