The Forum Athletic Club - Atlanta (GA)

2 /5 Steven B: Has the potential to be one of the best gyms in the city but itll never get there due to a culture problem. The staff are just there to collect a paycheck, hardly anyone cleans up after themselves. Equipment is always scattered everywhere doesnt seem like anyone cares. Great place to get a workout in but it could be so much better with a change in management and accountability from everyone.

2 /5 Printice Lawton: The music is obnoxious and unnecessarily LOUD. Even with noise canceling headphones you can still hear it. I guarantee nobody would complain if the music were lowered. Most people listen to their own music at their preferred volume anyway. I’d love to go to a gym where I don’t HAVE to wear headphones to ward against the assault on my ears. Seriously, even the sauna room is not safe from the jacked up volume.

3 /5 SPLICED TINT: I usually come to the gym between 8–10 a.m., and I’ve noticed a recurring issue that makes it very difficult to get a workout in. There is a trainer (not sure if she’s officially employed by the gym) who regularly sets up a circuit-style class with about 10 participants. She takes over nearly the entire half. Of the p downstairs area by setting up cones and stations, which means most of the equipment and machines are unavailable for close to an hour or two. This has become very frustrating, as the gym is not large to begin with and this setup prevents individual members from being able to use the equipment they pay for. If this is an official class, it would make much more sense to hold it in the designated training/classroom area, rather than monopolizing the shared workout floor. I really enjoy the gym overall, but this situation happens almost every day and has made the morning hours very challenging for regular members. I hope management can address this so all members can have fair access to the equipment.

1 /5 catalina torres: usually go to the gym in the mornings anywhere between 8am to 10 am and I’ve run into the same issue almost every time. There’s a trainer who brings a group of about 7-10 people and sets up a bootcamp style circuit across most of the downstairs floor. She puts out cones and ends up blocking off a lot of the equipment and weights. For about an hour to two hours it feels like half the gym is reserved for this one class which makes it really hard for regular members to get a normal workout in. It’s especially frustrating because the gym isn’t that big to begin with so there’s very limited space left for everyone else. If this is supposed to be an official class I feel like it should be moved to a designated studio room instead of the main floor so that all members still have fair access to the machines and weights we’re paying for.
