I've been a member of Bach Fitness for the past 7 months, and I can honestly say I'm in the best…read moreshape of my adult life. I consistently attend both the HIST and Body Work classes, and the programming is challenging, effective, and always different. Beyond the incredible workouts, the community at Bach is second to none. It's a supportive and motivating group of people who make coming to class something I look forward to every day. The biggest factor in my success, however, has to be the coaches. A huge thank you to Nathan, Johnny, Jermaine, and Howie. They are all incredibly knowledgeable, have a deep understanding of human movement, and truly care about helping you improve. They cheer you on, push you to be better, and create an environment where you can succeed. If you're in Atlanta and looking for a gym that delivers amazing results and has a fantastic community, you have to check out Bach Fitness

In ATL for a girls-weekend and staying just blocks away at the nearby Thompson Buckhead, we walked over on Friday morning for a 50 minute Run X LIFT Total Body class with Chloe B. The class was far from packed, which made it more enjoyable. Chloe's queues and music were spot on and challenging without pushing us so hard that we thought we would puke. We all felt great afterwards and were just the right amount of sore the next day. Huge shout-out to the staff for educating my friend that had never been to Barry's before on how the red room and treadmills work and how the class was set-up with switching from tread to floor to tread to floor... Special kudos to Adi working the smoothie bar who was super sweet and chatty and gave us all kinds of local recs to look into during our visit. If you find yourself in the area looking for a great workout, look no further than Barry's!

Everyone is moving at there own pace but it still felt very competitive which I loved. I'll definitely be coming back. It's a good balance of cardio and weights. We moved every 6 mins and the floor block was lower body and abs which I loved. Everything is monitored via HRM - giving you this cool stat report after.

I love that Solcioty focuses on HIIT training rather cycling or any other fitness thing that is trending right now. Everything is monitored by a heart monitor and is displayed onto a big screen along with the other participants. That honestly helped me stay motivated and on track with everyone else and made me feel a little competitive too (hehe). The lady at the front desk was also so helpful and welcoming - I forgot my instructor's name but man she was so energetic and so encouraging! She calls and praises everyone out by their name which makes it feel a bit more personal. She kicked my butt so hard, but it was so satisfying. After an hour of HIIT training, I lost 700 calories. You can count on me coming back!

This class pushed me like no class has ever pushed me before. I was pushed to my limits during this class. In less than an hour, I burned upwards of 500 calories.

The class was definitely tough, but worth it. I can definitey see myself coming back here in the future.

I've since moved out of the area, but was back in town scoping neighborhoods for when I return to ATL. I decided to stop at the Blast Buckhead location for old time's sake. Unfortunately, my experience didn't live up to my memories. The class that I attended was a 5 min block class which I never cared for in the past and didn't care for this time bc there's not enough time to work up a good sweat at each station before transitioning since the clock keeps running during transitions. This location also has zero COVID safety protocols: because of the constant switching, there is no time to wipe off the shared equipment and wipes aren't even provided on the floor. My biggest gripe, though, was the instructor and his music. I enjoy boutique fitness classes and the playlists usually get me pumped for a great workout. This instructor played LOTS of pop and rock and a handful of 80s/90s R&B songs. By the time there were 20 mins left in the class I hadn't heard a single hip hop song so I asked if he would mind playing some. His response? "Umm... we have to play stuff for everybody." I responded "yes I know. I just haven't heard any [hip hop] so that's why I asked." His response rly annoyed me. I am not a fitness class newbie. OBVIOUSLY most instructors play a variety of music for "everybody" but completely excluding one genre of music doesn't seem like you're playing music for "everybody." Am I not a part of that number? Also, I've been to countless studios-- OTF, Solid Core, Barry's-- and the instructors there ALWAYS welcome requests from participants bc we are the ones working out! I don't plan on joining when I move back. Ugh what a bummer.

I arrived a few minutes early for my first class and was warmly greeted by the front desk. She checked me in and gave me a tour of the space. The restrooms and shower area was fully stocked with goodies in case you left something at home. Good to note if you are headed to work after a workout. I dropped my keys into a locker and waited for class to begin. The instructor, Denae, called me into class a little early and showed me the equipment and treadmills and how everything would flow during the workout. These treadmills go up to 30 incline, woah! Cold water bottles and towels are provided too, so amazing! Class began and we warmed up. I was already breaking a sweat and feeling good when the first block began. The class is broken into smaller blocks of floor and cardio work. After the intervals on the treadmill, it was time to swap to the floor. A super intense workout with long and short resistance bands were killer. I needed to change my band for a 'beginner' band, which the instructor noticed and assisted me so I didn't have to move from my station- Thank you! Fast forward 60 minutes and we were finished, cooling down with some stretches and lite ab work. I left feeling awesome, it was a great experience.

The owner is in a wheelchair and I ve a family member who's also in a wheelchair and spoke thinking we might have something in common. No. He's bitter, angry, rarely smiles, looks away if you try to even try to make eye contact He acts like I put him in that chair and he's doing me a favor by letting me use his gym. Ridiculous. The trainers are the most common people in the gym. Initally they speak to you in hopes you hire them and when you dont they blackball you. This is the most unfriendly gym I've ever attended and would leave if they would refund my remaining money. So disappointed. Just a a sespool of sadness. i regret joining. No way I would renew and im 2 blocks away. Awful people and i don't know how they are still in business.

Joining Life Time has been one of the best decisions our family has made…read more Like many busy professionals, I had built a great home gym over the years. What I didn't realize I was missing was the energy that comes from being surrounded by people pursuing health, wellness, growth, and recovery. What sets Life Time apart is that it isn't just a gym. It's an ecosystem built around helping people become the healthiest version of themselves. One day I may run laps on the indoor track. Another day I may focus on strength training, core work, boxing, stretching, or recovery. There are machines and training areas for every fitness level and every goal imaginable. Treadmills, weights, functional fitness spaces, recovery tools, massage chairs, stretching equipment, steam rooms, hot tubs, infrared saunas, traditional saunas, cold recovery spaces, and more. And yes, there are televisions everywhere filled with sports. Lots and lots of sports. The atmosphere is contagious. You are surrounded by people investing in themselves, challenging themselves, and pursuing healthier lives. One of the lessons I recently wrote about in my article Dynamic Stretch + Recovery is that growth doesn't happen during the workout alone. Growth happens in the recovery. Muscles strengthen when they are challenged and then given time to rebuild. The same is true in life. The best leaders understand this. The healthiest people understand this. Strong performance requires intentional recovery. Life Time has reminded me of that truth. For me, the traditional sauna has become a favorite place to reflect, pray, recover, and simply be still. It is often in those quiet moments that I find clarity, gratitude, and perspective. What has surprised me most is how much our entire family loves it. My daughter is having a blast with the pools, water slides, and activities. The outdoor beach club atmosphere, music, and weekend events make it feel more like a resort than a gym. My husband has found a place to exercise, stay active, and invest in his health as well. We joined thinking we were purchasing a fitness membership. What we found was community, family experiences, wellness, recovery, inspiration, and joy. In a world that constantly tells us to do more, Life Time reminds us that our health, our families, and our well-being are worth investing in too. Grateful we made the decision.

While the gym is pretty decent for the most part: lots of machines, spread-out, saunas, lockers, etc...much of the place looked kind of rundown. So many areas were undergoing construction. In the gym AND the locker rooms. It looks like a really nice gym upon first glance, but it's fairly rundown inside. I arrived close to 6, and then close to 7, a worker tapped my shoulder and told me they close at 7. Upon arriving for the first time, this same worker didn't tell me what time the club closed at all. While he did give me a tour of the place and told me about the gym, he forgot to mention the important detail that it closed at 7. Regardless, I still had a pretty good workout. If they could just do some cleanup and renovate a little quicker, I would've given this review 1-2 more stars. But until the fix the fact that this placed looks rundown and beat-up inside, it will stay 3 stars. There is plenty of parking in front of the club which is nice. It's also free. It's attached to Lenox Mall, so plenty of parking. I don't know if I would come back until renovations were complete.
