Where Locals Work Out: Best [15] Gyms and Fitness Centers in Gainesville, GA

Jesse Fortenberry Fix the hours! Stop having crazy hours for the pool to be closed. Have consistent gym hours don’t change them and have the pool and sauna open if the gym is open. Realize that when your pool is closed so is the sauna. No one can keep up with y’all’s hours because they are constantly changing. Might be the only YMCA with such inconsistent hours.

walker peck Patrick and Kelsey are fantastic. I’m a kayaker and I deal with a lot of stress from over-training. They have helped me in so many ways. Get over to the movement lab to get yourself healthier!

Alicia Gordon Love this gym and coach! Coach Will is amazing with knowledgeable, straight forward training, advice, and awesome workouts. He makes it challenging but fun and I always leave feeling accomplished and more confident.

Ada Milla Martha is the sweetest instructor! I did a private class w her it was such a good workout. She made sure to correct my form when needed, and went at a pace/level I was comfortable with. I’m so excited for the studio to open!!

Jessica Rusin Kicked my butt! I had a blast at the Gals-giving event Wednesday! I am so excited to join this community and get back in shape :)

Spencer Witherington Buncha killers at this place. Really friendly, welcoming, helpful killers. Had super clean bathrooms and wipes for my feet for coming on and off the mats. Super excited to train here a few more times when I’m in town!

Richard Brinker I will leave this review up once I get confirmation that this gym has cancelled my membership, as they are giving me the "run-around". I went in person and filled out my cancellation form on 8/15/25. A young lady said "everything should be fine". I was billed 2 days later, which is fine and probably just a timing issue. Then I was billed again in mid September 2025. I moved over 25 miles away and the drive after work in traffic is over an hour - Im not putting myself through that drive after a long day of work. So when I got billed in mid September I called them and was told "my boss will get back to you" - which never happened (of course). I went ahead and put a "stop payment" on my credit card. Send me to collections if you want - I have zero need for new credit and never will. If it comes to it I will put this gym on BLAST all over social media and post myself outside with a sign saying these people are greedy, scammers. Oh yeah, I also went to this gym and paid my dues every month for over 8 YEARS. Even during COVID I kept paying to help out a small business. This is the BS I get for being a LOYAL member. Again, if/when this gym gets their act together and confirms with me that they have cancelled my membership - then I will gladly remove this review and actually post a very positive one since I REALLY did like the gym. Just dont like driving for an hour to get a workout in. UPDATE: They appear to have stopped charging my credit card, but that might only be because I stopped payment. I will change to 3 stars for now, if they send me to collections itll go back to 1 star. If not and it has been 3 months, I will rate 5 stars.

Amy Klamke Bodyplex is a clean facility with plenty of modern equipment and a friendly staff. Love the atmosphere!

Tom Kim The coaches are skilled, supportive, and great at helping everyone improve, whether you’re a beginner or experienced. The jiu-jitsu and MMA programs are well-rounded, with a perfect mix of technique, sparring, and conditioning. The facilities are clean and spacious, and the community is super welcoming. Highly recommend for anyone looking to train, compete, or just get in great shape!

Scarlet Pendarvis You will not find a more pleasant environment or more kind and knowledgeable instructors than at Find Your Center Yoga studio. They offer a wide variety of classes and times- find one that suits your schedule and take a class. You’ll feel better for it!

Alexander Vega Excellent YMCA, highly recommend visiting this facility.

michael briones I love it here, its honestly the best part of my day whenever I get to go. Everybody here is nice and always willing to help me out when needed. Its never overly packed and all the equipment is great. It being 24/7 is great for my schedule because most commercial gyms close early or are always full of people so every workout would take unnecessary long. Switching to the beast is the best decision Ive ever made involving my lifting journey. The only issues I’ve occurred with this gym is normal gym problems that are out of their control like out of order restrooms and mess left by previous lifters of weights or equipment but the employees at beast tackle it well and make sure the gym is a good place for everyone and there own training if it’s bodybuilding powerlifting boxing cross fit hyrox or just general fitness the beast caters well to everyone.
