Fitness Factory

I have lived in Atlanta for a collective ten plus years and I am very familiar with different gyms here in townso I will give a fair review. I first visited Fitness Factory in 1998. The gym equipment was old and limited and the locker room was dingy and odorous. I made an effort to ask the staff thorough questions about programs, etc., they seemed unenthusiastic and acted as if I was burdening them with my questions. They were also unwilling to give me a good price for a membership. I decided that everyone should have a second chance. So, nearly ten years later I returned to see if things had changed. The gym equipment was the same old, unsafe equipment I used ten years previously. The locker rooms were still dingy and the staff unfriendly. How this gym has remained operational is amazing. I suppose given the gay guys who like to travel from gym to gym to cruise it gives them more options. However, quality and quantity of equipment lacking and fussy staff aside, it is centrally located. If you want a large gym, with lots of gay boys and care not for state of the art equipment, get a membership at L.A. Fitness Ansley. Otherwise, if you're looking for a wide range of classes; clean, new equipment, locker room surfaces you wouldn't be afraid to touch for fear of contracting a diseasecheckout newer gyms like Gravity or Urban Bodies. They are centrally located and larger. Of course, don't take my word for it, you be the judge....

I love this place. Been going for a couple years and I'm so hooked I'm hesitant to move and have to change gyms.

Comfortable place for anyone, any walk of life. Gay, straight, young, old, you see everyone here. I always feel happy walking in that door.

Fitness Factory has closed. It was a decent neighborhood gym, fairly priced, with a friendly staff and neighborhood clientele.

These guys are great. Very relaxed atmosphere. Great classes. Tons of weights (if you're into that). I've done the LA Fitness thing along with other gyms in-town and I've finally found a place that gives me everything I need with TONS of parking!!!!!

Gym is great. Personal Training with Marialana DiMaggio (one of FF personal trainers) was a wonderful experience. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a little help just to get going or as someone to keep you on the right path. Fantastic personality and very motivating!
