    On a recent weekend trip to Atlanta I attended the 8:30am Saturday class coached by Rae, who is also the owner of this studio. I was blown away, the workout was tough- the coach was passionate- and the people were friendly. The location of the gym is amazing, literally steps to the beltline so you can jump on for a jog before or after class. I was truly amazed by the gym and hope I can come again soon! Thank you for making me feel so welcomed!

    love MAD! have been training at mad for about 1 year. I ca tell such a huge positive difference throughout my whole body. Goodbye cellulite! My arms and legs are more toned and I am happy! The classes are fun, the music motivates me, the trainers are very friendly and are always willing to help you.

    I love MADabolic gym sessions! They are always fun with lively music, structured moves, and I love the circuit aspect of it. Keeps the moves feeling fresh, and I love that there isn't someone yelling all the time! I get to focus on my form, vibe to the music, get into my body and WORK.

    I cannot speak highly enough about all things Madabolic. I have absolutely loved training at this gym with the coaches and other members just in my few months of being a member. Every coach has been incredibly encouraging and helpful in classes always bringing the focus back to doing movements correctly - not just quickly. The atmosphere is unmatched! I had never taken a group fitness class before visiting Mad, and I was very hesitant but immediately felt welcomed, comfortable, and challenged in the best ways! Thank you, Rae + team, for creating this wonderfully welcoming space to come and better myself!

    I love the challenge from coaches of lifting heavy, but maintaining good form. MAD is an encouraging environment that helps me push myself. The boxing is my favorite! It’s a well planned workout that has thought behind it for better success, not just random exercises all the time. MAD supports consistency, but reminds you of the necessity of rest days. And on top of the physical part, they educate about eating enough, balancing macros, and finding balance to support a truly healthy lifestyle that supports being strong and athletic. It’s been a staple for me for a few years now!

    I have been to 3 workouts here so far and all of them have been excellent!! It is an intense workout but beginners can reduce their speed or weight in order to adjust the workout. It took me a long time to get up enough courage to come here because their branding and workouts are intimidating. I'm glad I didn't wait any longer. They are very welcoming and the classes are fun.

    Been impressed. Despite it being a larger national chain and with larger class sizes the ATL team still manage to add a personal touch and ensure you're doing each movement and set correctly which so precisely what I was looking for in a gym. Once you get used to the rules and flow of things, everything is great.

    One of the best gyms I've ever gone to! Fantastic location directly on the Beltline with free parking. Rae (the owner and one of the trainers) is one of the nicest and most outgoing people I've met in a long time. Small classes and really well thought out programming makes this a much better experience than just joining a big box gym. The workouts are built so that they are extremely easy to scale from very easy to an expert level so you'll get a great workout no matter what shape that you are in. Cannot recommend this place highly enough!

    Frustrated patron doesn’t even describe how I feel about this fitness studio. While I completely understand and respect the desire for timely attendance their policy seems to be a bit out of touch. While they do offer two classes in the evening one at 5:30, and one at 6:45. The latter of the two does not fit my schedule due to childcare. Finding time in the day to work out right after work can be challenging however I usually can make it to the 5:30 class just in time. Might I mention that I absolutely enjoy the work out but do I not enjoy wasting 45 minutes of drive time and gas to be turned away at 5:31 due to their policy. Today was the second time in less than seven days that I got turned away from being able to work out. Being that I was just made aware of this policy days ago I made a point to keep an eye on time. After driving 45 minutes and sprinting through the parking lot I arrived at the studio inside at 5:31 and was turned away. No instructions had been given yet nor had class started. As much as I enjoy the work out and love supporting a black woman run fitness studio today was the last time that I will be going to MADabolic. You will definitely get a good workout only if you arrive 10 mins early to make sure that you don’t get locked out.

    This is a really fantastic gym! The workouts are fun, high energy, suitable for all levels, and change every day so you never get bored while getting a great full-body workout. They also offer a really nice intro special for new members and all of the trainers make it a point to give new people extra help. The owner and trainers are also very kind. Highly recommend!

    I can't say enough great things about Rae and her team over at Madabolic. They bring the energy to every workout and care deeply about every single person who goes there. Layer this on top of their unique movements like the sideboard, aqua punching bag, and metabolic based training methods and its not wonder they are a can;t miss place to workout right on the beltline!

  • 5/5 Don T. 9 months ago on Google • 11 reviews
    Former collegiate baseball player that had lost their way with fitness. I have regained my conditioning, fitness, and confidence coming to these classes. The workouts are challenging, but doable and the environment is an encouraging one. Come as you are, and they will work with you through limitations and injuries. Rae has created a place that I can’t wait to get to!

    The Madabolic ATL team has challenged me as much as they have supported me. I’m new and they made me feel supported and motivated as I learned the ropes to the workout. The schedule and training program are well rounded and intentional. The gym is well-kept and clean. Julie led the first class I ever attended, and she offered thoughtful guidance when the sequences got confusing for me. She and Rae made me feel taken care of during their classes with their guidance on form and safety. Anna at the front desk was helpful, warm, and welcoming. Highly recommend. Thanks team!

    I love the coaches and the workouts. The coaches care about your form and helping you lift correctly without damaging joints and preventing injury. As far as the workouts I love that this isn't a run of the mill HIIT gym. There isn't meaningless exercises but carefully constructed ones that focus on functional strength

  • 5/5 Karras I. 11 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    MADabolic will have you performing at your peak in no time. I'm 15 classes in and can attest the trainers are knowledgeable and ensure proper form is attained each exercise/movement. The sessions are 50 minutes in length and comprise of Movement, Anaerobic, and Durability routines in a group format. If you're looking to switch up your standard gym practice, I highly recommend MADabolic Atlanta directly off the Beltline. In addition, parking is gated and this location provides validation.

  • 5/5 Christopher T. 2 years ago on Google
    Intense workout and great community vibe. Love the gym's focus on seeing each individual succeed while still working in a group setting—the owners and instructors all care about making the experience great.

  • 5/5 Hailey S. 1 year ago on Google
    The BEST thing about this MADabolic location is hands down the trainers. The trainers here really become your gym family as the weeks go by. Every single trainer here is well educated, full of energy, motivating, and takes time to make sure you are doing complicated movements correctly or modifying movements that may not be comfortable for each individual. Each of the classes are full of dynamic movements and range from high intensity cardio to heavy strength training days. If like me you try to skip gym days because you don’t want to do a specific exercise, this will be a great fit. You never know what the movements will be before walking into class so you can’t strategically plan your way around some near death suicides. The workouts here are well rounded full body movements and always challenge you. MADabolic is a safe place to grow in your fitness and training goals alongside awesome people who never judge or get competitive. Highly recommend spending all your gym days here.

  • 5/5 Adrienne S. 9 months ago on Google
    MADabolic is a great place to workout and be the best version of yourself! I love the consistency in the workouts structure and the coaches are very qualified! The group workouts are just what I was looking for. Highly recommend !!

  • 5/5 Heather B. 9 months ago on Google
    My husband and I recently left our CrossFit gym to find something challenging, yet less hard on the body. MADabolic is exactly that. An intense, yet achievable workout that keeps you guessing using a combination of boxing, cardio, weights, and body weight. There is an incredible science behind their method of interval training. The 1hr class feels like 15min!!!! Great location, free parking, super clean facilities and DOPE staff. LETS GOOOO

  • 5/5 Kasey H. 10 months ago on Google
    Great experience so far! Awesome HiiT workouts that you can keep making harder and harder as you go. Plus they have some awesome sign up deals and management has been great to work with, open about the contract, and no hidden tricks like some other gyms I’ve tried… highly suggest!

  • 5/5 Remi M. 1 year ago on Google
    MADabolic is the greatest gym and environment in this area!! The owner, Rae, is always so welcoming and clearly loves what she does. Each of her employees exudes the same energy and love for what they do. The workouts are always different and challenging and the programing is very well thought out. As a Physical Therapist I am also very appreciative of how each coach takes the time to watch everyones form and make corrections as needed. I have been a member of MADabolic for almost 2 years and been to multiple locations but this one is by far my favorite. Rae has created an amazing community!

  • 5/5 Veronica D. 11 months ago on Google
    I’ve been going to Madabolic on the beltline practically since it opened! The virtual workouts and playlists helped me not go too crazy during the pandemic and they were great about pausing my membership for health reasons during that time. I grew up an athlete and these classes help me feel that way again, while working on more functional movements to help me as I am no longer a teenage athlete! I love the variety of the programming and how well the trainers explain and help coach through the movements. Plus having some time on the bag each workout is always a plus!

  • 5/5 Dylan H. 3 years ago on Google
    Couldn’t endorse this gym or workout any further. The owners and instructors are top notch. The workout is far superior to any traditional boutique fitness class you will take. Strength, cardio and athletic mobility are all equally emphasized.

  • 5/5 Sarah C. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a fan of MAD Atlanta. Rae and the rest of the knowledgable and encouraging staff here make it such a great place to learn about how to get stronger. The workouts are so fun and challenging no matter where you are on your fitness journey. (It also feels so good to throw some punches after a long day of work) can't recommend it enough

  • 5/5 Tiffany F. 3 years ago on Google
    I was extremely impressed by the level of customer service and how friendly the Madabolic team is! Abby (the owner) reached out to me directly after adding the gym on Instagram, to inform me about promotions & specials and was even able to add me into a class last minute at no charge to me! After my class, Abby even followed up to ask me how my experience was and to get my feedback! Amanda (the trainer) was great! She explained each exercise thoroughly with a demonstration of each station we would be going through. I also enjoyed the fact that throughout the workout she checked in on clients to make sure form was correct and to push you through! Music was also upbeat and high energy.Lastly, but most importantly - the facility is VERY clean! I felt safe the entire workout and liked that after each station, we had a minute to rest & to wipe everything down before transitioning to the next station. I would highly recommend this gym to any of my friends/family - and that was just after ONE VISIT.

  • 5/5 Alexandra C. 1 year ago on Google
    Immaculate gym, new equipment, and professional instructors. There are 5 “lanes” catered to different fitness levels, so it’s a great workout whether you are junior or advanced. Try it out!

  • 5/5 Scarlett R. 1 year ago on Google
    MADabolic is the perfect workout program for me. Over the years, I’ve done CrossFit, ran full and half-marathons, took up spin classes and TRX. But post pandemic I was looking for a new routine, something that was close to my house, but not my house, offered weight training, but also cardio elements, had people but wasn’t so crowded that it felt unsafe and offered diversity in workouts so not to get bored. MAD checked all those boxes and then some. It’s been six months and I try to workout 4-days a week at MAD. I’m stronger and happier.

  • 5/5 Erica W. 1 year ago on Google
    I took my first two classes this week, and was an excellent experience. The workouts were very challenging and effective, but still a ton of fun. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the facilities are brand new and conveniently located. Try it!

  • 5/5 Eric E. 1 year ago on Google
    MADabolic is the best gym I’ve been to in Atlanta. The workout is a great mix of weights, core, and cardio. Instructors and music are great too!

  • 5/5 Blaxkboymeetsworld 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing gym full of very knowledgeable trainers. My gym mates were really friendly and you’ll definitely see noticeable gains if you go like 3 times a week for a month.

  • 5/5 Sacha R. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this gym and community! The workouts are great and never feel boring. The coaches care about your form and will correct and help your workout.

  • 5/5 Christine W. 1 year ago on Google
    Love it here. Great workouts. Awesome coaches. Rae is a stellar coach and business owner. Definitely try it out! Also be sure to follow their instructions for finding it the first time to make your first trip smooth.

  • 5/5 Scott S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is my favorite gym in Atlanta for a great workout! MADabolic offers 3 varieties of well-structured group interval training classes that use equipment like kettlebells, medicine balls, ERG machines, punching bags, and slide boards. Pros: Each class begins with a thorough demo of each exercise and a walkthrough of the interval pattern. Classes incorporate a decent amount of rest between sets. Weights are already set up at each station, organized into five "lanes" by skill level. No surprises or confusion, you'll know exactly what you're doing and what weights to use throughout the class. There's a good variety of class times in the mornings and evenings. The instructors and the owner Rae foster a welcoming and motivating environment, and happy hours and member socials allow for community-building outside of class. MAD franchises across the east coast offer discounts for members visiting outside their home location. Cons: Classes are intense but on the shorter end with about 10 minutes for warming up and only 30 minutes for the main workout. Membership is on the pricier end and might only be worth it if you're willing to go 3-4x/week, though there are generous trial packages for first-timers. Gym equipment is not available outside of class times. Bottom line: If you're looking for a longer and more moderate workout, this may not be for you, but if you want an intense strength-training class in under an hour, you'll be impressed with the variety and quality of MADabolic. I highly recommend!

    MADabolic is hands down the best gym in Atlanta - they prioritize moving well, recovery, and living a healthy lifestyle! Most gyms are all go go go burn x amount of calories in class where at MADabolic they want you to focus on the weight you are moving and give you that 1:1 attention in a class setting on your form. With the three different types of workouts they encourage you to push yourself by going 100% some days and others are a grind of slowing down movements. All in all this is the best gym in Atlanta and is an absolute MUST!

  • 2/5 Jamie H. 3 years ago on Google
    I did the 10 days for $10 which is a great deal. The workouts are hard but worth it. I wont be back as they stuff people in classes (around 20) with very limited space. There were maybe two other customers wearing masks but no one else was at any time. It also wasnt promoted by the gym. One of the guys working the front desk also didnt make any effort to put on a mask or maintain any distance.

  • 5/5 Thuy Hang H. 3 years ago on Google
    Very friendly and informative staffs! After booking my first class, I received texts from Abby (the owner of this studio). It was nice to have that personal touch and it made me feel special that she reached out to me to see if I had any questions before coming into the studio! Playlist was great and motivating - definitely coming back and bringing my sister with me. The workout was a push for sure, but it was all based on how much you want to challenge yourself in doing.

  • 5/5 Morgan C. 9 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    I recently moved to Atlanta and was in the search for a new CrossFit type of gym. I had tried numerous other places before popping into MAD and once I did I never looked back. Not only are the workouts great but the coaches and community are what made me decide to join this gym. Even in the larger classes the coaches still take the time to correct and adjust your form if needed. 100001% recommend this slice of heaven gym.
