Freedom Fitness Training Systems - Athens (GA)

5 /5 Jeff Derwin: I have been using Freedom Fitness since November, 2023, and it has been a rewarding experience. Paul Varnadoe offers the right mixture of encouragement and challenges as I grow in my development. I appreciate the variety and progression/buildup - it is never boring! This has definitely been a great fit for me.

5 /5 Jeffery West: Paul has been a huge contributor to my motivation to become a personal trainer. He always motivated me and encouraged me to keep pushing against my barriers. He has such a wealth of knowledge and experience even with certain injuries he was able to modify my exercises that did not aggravate those prior injuries but also helped with flexibility and mobility and have actually reduced that pain tremendously. Aside from his amazing impact on my own fitness, the owner Paul has supported our non profit recovery warriors since its inception in 2023. He is a massive advocate, supporter and ally to the recovery and veteran community. If your hesitant about paying for a membership let this review serve as a declaration that the investment into your health is worth the guided and person centered approach FFTS provides to all who join! Best gym in Athens period, you will not get the same personal dedication to your health goals than FFTS!

5 /5 Clint Watson: Paul is a an exceptional coach for many reasons, but the one that sticks out is his PASSION for PEOPLE and a deep desire to see them succeed! This is essential for any coach worth their salt. If youre looking for RESULTS (in particular more strength and fat loss), Paul is your man!

5 /5 John Spinks: I highly recommend this east side gym. I started working out with Paul and the Freedom Fitness family in January and it has been a highlight to my year. Paul takes you from right where you are and pushes you to reach your goals (weight loss or strength training). Ive already been able to accomplish things I didnt think were possible within 4 months. The environment, energy, and encouragement at Freedom Fitness are all top notch!

5 /5 Leandra Nessel: Ive been working out at Freedom Fitness for about five months now and I love it. I had done some weight lifting before the pandemic at one of the big box gyms in town, but had quit going during the lockdown. Im in my 50s and I know that heavy lifting is important to bone strength. Some friends had recommended FFTS and when I was ready to get back in the gym I gave them a call. Its a completely different experience than working out at one of the chain gyms. With Paul and FFTS get one-on-one guidance and each month he comes up with a new set of workouts designed to work different muscle sets, something I would never be able to create on my own. Paul encourages me to push myself, but not in a dangerous way. Ive gotten so much stronger in the time that Ive been going there and I feel powerful and empowered. Its a great environment, too. I was a little intimidated at first because from the outside it seems like a serious, no-frills guys gym, but there are plenty of women working out there and everyone who works out there is so friendly and welcoming. Ive worked out for many years in many different gym and this is the best gym environment Ive ever been in.
