LIV Fitness — Attraction in Decatur

I've been going to this gym for about 9 months now. I'm still just as pleased as I was when I started. The staff members are friendly, the gym is clean, and there's equipment and space for many forms of exercise.

Yoga: I started taking the yoga classes soon after joining. I was reluctant at first because the yoga space was small, and the sound from people exercising was distracting. The yoga teacher made a great point though: we need to have ways to center ourselves especially when we can't escape from the distractions around us. After a month or so I learned greater focus. I am now largely able to tune out the environmental distractions around me. The small space actually lends well to the style of yoga she teaches which involves giving individual feedback on posture and safety. And one of my favorite things about this practice is how the instructor incorporates small passages of wisdom from various sources to reflect on and learn from.

Original review:

Beautiful gym with plenty of racks, benches, dumbbells, and kettle bells. They've also got some nifty cardio machines that support HIIT and weight machines that monitor your reps and break time. The owner and assistant/yoga teacher were both kind and informative. All the equipment is clean and well maintained.

Edit 2018-12-21: I forgot to mention, the membership is month to month, not a year long contract, which is reflective of the general attitude I see which is that they sincerely want their members to be happy with...

This gym is awesome: one-to-one conversations with the owners if anything is wrong, easy to cancel / pause, decent equipment (they even have a hip thruster), and super clean (everyone also gets their own spray bottle!).

During covid-19, I was stressed about my health but figured I could not walk inside a gym for the next two years at least based on how its going right now. This is the first gym I found that has an actual mandatory mask rule that they MAINTAIN. It has unstaffed hours - which also is more convenient - but sometimes people pull their masks down under their noses. I've never had a problem with this because letting the owner know has always solved the issue. Working out with a mask is also super easy - and even if its a slight inconvenience, at least you aren't choosing to hurt people!

The capacity is limited right now because of covid, and it makes it even safer. The best part has to be knowing that I can walk into the gym every day not feeling scammed. The money is staying within local Atlanta since this isn't a huge chain, and I get to take care of my health while not contributing to an...

The gym is probably the cleanest I’ve ever used. The owners and staff are very nice and are constantly cleaning the place all day. It’s on the smaller side but they have all the essentials. I’ve only seen it packed once or twice, which is great IMO.

Membership dues are very reasonable and I was even approached by the owner totally unsolicited letting me know he saw an aspect of my membership he could change that would save me a couple of bucks. That’s a standup business owner.

My one and only complaint is the mandating of masks while working out. I’m sure others think it’s great and clearly the owners think it’s the right thing to do. However, for me, it’s a step too far. I’ve been working out there for months and it just really sucks to go through a hard workout with a mask on. You DO NOT get used to it, you just accept it. I’d be very happy if they would make masks optional and let those who would like to take the risk do so. Other than that, it’s a fantastic gym that I’d recommend to anyone who doesn’t need or what a...
