I've been extremely disappointed with my experience at Orangetheory Brookhaven. The workouts…read morethemselves can be good, but the customer service and overall management left a lot to be desired. I had multiple issues with scheduling, cancellations, getting charged incorrectly, and communication. It was very difficult to get a clear resolution from the staff. The studio often felt disorganized. The billing practices and cancellation fees feel excessive, and trying to get a reasonable answer or resolution is an exercise in frustration. Instead of working with members, the staff seems quick to quote policies without showing any understanding or any documentation. Matter in fact, they were too lazy to show me the document I signed when I first onboarded because I came from the Chamblee location. For the price of a membership, I expected so much more. It is far too expensive for the level of service you receive and it simply isn't worth the money. Before you consider signing up with Orangetheory, do your research and look at other health organizations (Burn Boot Camp, Life Time, La Fitness, Club Pilates, etc...). Save your money and spend it somewhere that actually values its members.

I have been going about 4 days a week for the past 1.5 months to Team Octopus. The people are…read morefriendly and the coaches are great. I take Kickboxing with Richard and Performance Fitness with Q although the gym offers other activities like jiu jitsu and muay thai. Richard and Q are the bomb diggity! No doubt. I am super not into working out and was as weak as a twig when I first started. However, the coaches, especially Q, really pay attention to your form and makes sure it's correct. My snatches and deadlifts were janky AF before going here. The Performance Fitness class he teaches are similar to Crossfit. They consists of a combination of weights and high intensity interval training exercises. Richard's Kickboxing classes are also great and he teaches us different techniques frequently. The exercises are not mundane and you get a good cardio workout. My svelte figure hasn't emerged yet, but I am stronger now and look forward to working out. Woot! I don't even know who I am anymore.

This is a review for the "NEXT Level Coaching"...not the Boot Camp…read more After over a year of attending morning Boot Camps (which I love and are very professional), I decided to hire Mari for her NEXT level daily personalized coaching. This is a separate program from the Boot Camp, but offered by the same ABC company. DO NOT PAY FOR THIS WORTHLESS PROGRAM! Instead of daily coaching, I was completely ignored by Mari--in the entire three week period, she sent me two emails. Every day I emailed Mari a detailed list of what I ate and drank--she never looked at or responded to them. She promised to send me restaurants and meal instructions when I was traveling--and never did. She didn't even take a "before" picture, as promised. After being in the program for 1 month and gaining 2 lbs of fat, I demanded she return my $399 fee, which she refused to do. The only thing you will lose in the scam is money.

The month I spent in bootcamp at Pinckneyville Park was one of the best months ever. Sure, it was…read morehard as hell waking up every day at 430am and I never really got used to the fact that I was ready to pass out every night by 8pm. But the workout was fantastic! I was pushed beyond any limit I'd ever imagined and reached goals I never dreamed I could. The instructors were amazing - I never could have made it without them pushing me. They know everyone's name the first day and understand that not everyone is at the same fitness level. Instead they push each person to reach their own individual best and there are enough of them to really keep everyone going. If it hadn't been for the amazing instructors at Pinckneyville I probably would have given up after the first day. If you've never done bootcamp before you have to try it and I highly recommend ABC to get you started. And don't worry about getting into shape first - they'll get you there! It's hard as shit, but you'll be addicted to it - I promise you that.

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!

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.

A few months later, I came across an ad for Burn Druid Hills (if you haven't guessed, they are a franchise gym) with a special promo for a month. Given my great experience in the past, I jumped on this offer, completed a free trial class and then immediately signed up for the promo month. The rest is history and I've been part of the Burn community ever since, over 100 camps under my belt . They have great staff plus knowledgeable and personable instructors and the location is clean. Even though this is a group setting (camp/class), instructors pay attention to each individual and push them to do better! Classes are a combination of weight and functional HIIT training. Every week is different so there is never any monotony, and the camps are high energy and fun! You work out together as a group and build friendships and community! In addition to the workouts, they offer focus meetings where each member can meet with an instructor to talk through and define goals, understand their body composition and measurements and work towards getting better! And guess what - they have free childwatch while you work out. It's really a no-brainer. 45 mins to focus on yourself and no worry about kids, distractions etc. Plenty of free parking, complimentary towels, shower room, and the best community!!

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.
