Athens Health & Fitness

This gym is absolutely has the best variety and most thorough selection of equipment I have seen period!! I have checked the newer gyms and they don't even come close! I have spent years in the gym and Athens health and fitness sets the standard for options free weights or machines they have it all . The staff is courteous as well. It's a larger gym and plenty of space even when it's busy. Love this place. Whoever originally set this gym up and chose the equipment absolutely new what they where doing period! Jonathan ayers

I’ve been going to this gym for a few years. I was a member when it was called Omni, but cancelled my membership after a year because it was too expensive. After about a year, Crunch opened, so I joined it because it was cheaper and people hadn’t really caught on to it yet. Well, tons of people left Athens Health and Fitness to go to Crunch, so the crowd was now unbearable. So I left Crunch to go back to Athens Health and Fitness because AHF had now lowered the monthly rate to be competitive with Crunch. That lost in revenue, while trying to maintain the amenities is what I think contributed to what many guests complain about. Since rejoining AHF, the service and quality of the experience has declined. The gym has GREAT equipment and a ton of options (I would actually rate the equipment 4.5 out of 5), but the cleanliness and maintenance of the overall facility brings my overall rating down to 2 out of 5. The men’s locker room is blazing in the warmer months, the showers have been being retiled for almost a year and a half, and the staff fails to perform basic actions to make the place presentable for guests. I often work out in the morning when the gym first opens. On numerous occasions I’ve walked into the locker room and it appears it hasn’t been cleaned since 8am the day before. The staff opening or closing the facility should pick up any trash or towels laying around. I’m sure maintaining the facility is expensive, but a lot of the things people complain about can be addressed from simple ongoing upkeep. Please get all six showers operational in the men’s locker room. There’s constantly a wait in the mornings when there is a rush of guys trying to get ready for the day. It’s also tragic that the steam room is no longer working. That’s one of the things that made this gym stand out. Overall, I do think this gym could be the best in Athens, but the staff don’t treat it like it is.

Let me preface this with I was extraordinary spoiled at Genesis prior to joining, however I digress. The gym...is fine. There is room for improvement. Examples would be repairing the floor where the majority of their patrons stretch, purchasing a storage closet to store cleaning supplies (i.e. mops, brooms etc.), doing a better job of keeping the floor and restrooms clean, maintenance of their equipment or upgrading to newer pieces. The staff are pleasant, for the most part. With the occasional person sitting at the desk in the a.m. more interested on whatever is on their phone then greeting people. The price is more than reasonable, however you are getting what you pay for.
