    Do not come here if you are at all fearful of contracting COVID. The gym is operating classes (and the regular gym floor) at full capacity, no social distancing, no masks, no additional cleaning measures. Employees do take your temperature upon arrival, however, they are not wearing masks and they have to get very close to you to do so. It’s extremely uncomfortable. I feel bad leaving this review, as they are a family owned business, but they are risking people’s lives with this negligence.

    Great gym if you like weightlifting. Very clean, and the staff are very nice. They have a wide selection of machines and plenty of squat racks. I've never been here during "rush hour," but I imagine it might be full then. Hours are extremely convenient (they open at 5 AM!). Decent selection of cardio machines. They could have more stretching mats, but honestly they'd have to give up something else for that, and I'd rather they didn't.

    COVID WARNING - An instructor who teaches fully packed classes multiple times a day got the virus. Ownership has said and done NOTHING about it. They didn’t tell people who attended his class or alert gym-goers who were around him everyday. They haven’t even asked the rest of the staff to wear masks! While I understand you are putting yourself at risk by going there in the first place, the least they could do was tell people so they could protect themselves and the people they interact with. They have decided profit is more important than human decency. I have been a member for years but will be cancelling my membership immediately.

    This gym is perfect for me. Not crowded, but active with a healthy amount of others working on their fitness. The clientele seems to be primarily comprised of Buckhead professionals looking to get make the most of their time spent at the gym. There is a variety of high-end equipment that is well maintained. The locker room amenities are also nice. I haven’t found myself looking for any apparatus or item that I wish they had. The value for the money is solid. I just wish I joined sooner.

    This place has everything I really need to get a workout done and the facilities are pretty well maintained. It is a little cramped but it does well with the space given. It is on the more expensive side of gyms but it offers what PF doesn't and is more complete for anyone that's into exercising in my opinion. Racks go from 5 to 120. It has ample cable machines for more focused pulldowns and there's at least 4 or 5 places where I can just focus on deadlifts. It has more specific equipment too for some landmine exercises and controlled pendlay rows as well as a whole section of bike machines, stair climbers, and treadmills.

    A terrific gym with all the facilities and equipment you need for a complete fitness program I’m a jaded New Yorker who is staying in Atlanta for a few weeks. In the NYC area, I’m a regular member of Chelsea Piers (CT), which is probably one of the best facilities in the NY Metro area. The Forum is every bit as good, offering me everything that I could ask for and allowing me to maintain every aspect of my training & fitness program while in Atlanta. And as a bonus, I got to meet one of my NBA (Knicks) heroes who, it turns out, is regular user! So I thoroughly enjoy The Forum and strongly recommend it to anybody who is serious about their health and fitness

    Love this gym! I was introduced by a friend after being a member of a different big-chain gym for a while but not enjoying my experience. I have loved every minute of the Forum Athletic Club, though, from day one. It’s got excellent equipment and is always super clean. It’s got towel service for convenience, a great added touch. The staff are great and always really helpful. They have some great trainers, like Heath Ward, who are extremely knowledgeable and motivating. I’ve been going more consistently since January ‘19 and have lost 40lbs in 4 months. I’m extremely grateful for the fitness community here for their help and encouragement along the way! 10/10 would recommend.

    I took the 90 minute Fast Twitch Class and absolutely loved it ! The variety of exercises and equipment utilized to work your core was impressive and original. The instructors do a great job of making sure movements are executed properly and the music 🎵 played doing the workout 🏋️‍♀️ was motivating. Excellent Class and The best health club in Atlanta! The vibes of the Club are sooo upbeat ! Highly recommend 👍❤️❤️❤️

    I have been to many gyms in many cities, private and commercial, and the Forum shocked me. Everyone is incredibly nice, the classes are awesome, the facility is clean (and cool), and I’ve never had an issue with the machines. Also, the other gym goers are also great! If you’re an Atlanta local this is the gym to lift at.

  • 5/5 Charlie R. 5 years ago on Google • 21 reviews
    The Forum has everything you need: lots of machines, plenty of dumbbells, clean locker rooms/workout areas, good price and friendly staff. The classes are fantastic too. The instructors for the classes do a wonderful job of keeping the energy up, making sure your form is good and encouraging everyone there. If you’re lucky they’ll even add some weight or throw in an extra challenge. I often bring out of town friends to a fast twitch because they (the class and the instructors) are that good. Bottom line, this is a top notch gym and you’re not going to pay an arm and a leg. Can’t recommenced it enough.

    Went to this gym for about 9 months, moved so had to go somewhere else:/ Loved the fast twitch classes, I have been literally every other type of gym class you can think of this is by far the hardest and best workout I have been to! Roman is great! Would recommend to anyone in the area!

  • 5/5 John P. 2 years ago on Google
    The forum is the best gym in Atlanta for those who want embrace the challenge of being physically fit. This is not a social club gym people push themselves to become healthier and stronger people.

    You won't find a better gym in Atlanta. Great staff, gym has everything you need, fun classes, very affordable! Don't be discouraged that it is in the mall, parking is never bad. Try Fast Twitch with Roman! And if you want a great personal trainer, train with Phil!

  • 5/5 Steve C. 5 years ago on Google
    I have been a Member for over 15 years of the Forum because this family owned small business has always run the best client experience in the fitness business. I always feel welcomed by the staff and family. I am always challenged to improve and innovate my fitness. As a cancer survivor, this place has brought me back to the best fitness and health of my life. It is my gym Village. The members are awesome. Well done TFAC!

  • 5/5 Sophia M. 4 years ago on Google
    When I first moved to Atlanta I joined different gyms waiting to find the right one and I am so happy I found Forum! It's an amazing gym- great machines, plenty of cardio machines so you are always able to get on one no matter the time of the day. Even though it's in Lenox, you never have to deal with the actual nightmare of the mall, easy parking right outside the door! Not only do I love the gym and staff but I LOVE Fast Twitch! My favorite class in Atlanta. Thankful for the Forum Family!!

  • 5/5 Dorothy Rice T. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Tatum N. 4 years ago on Google
    Joined the Forum after leaving LA fitness because I wanted more of a small gym feel. And I 100% got what i wanted; amazing staff, never too crowded, and an amazing selection of cardio and strength machines. Love this gym!!!

  • 5/5 Deanna S. 5 years ago on Google
    Love this gym! Not only does it have tons of machines and exercise gear - but it’s clean and hasn’t been crowded when I train in the mornings and evenings. Location is great - easy to get to in Buckhead area. Has towels, body scanning equipment and trainers available too. I’m very glad I joined here!

  • 5/5 Isaiah P. 5 years ago on Google
