Owens Gym of Toccoa — Attraction in Toccoa

2019 Update- my account issues have been settled by the new owner who was not only very apologetic, but who also had the integrity to invite me back; I liked that! I will consider this gym again in the future if I can use the facilities Without a long-term contract.

ETA- DO NOT AGREE TO ONGOING BILLING WITH THIS GYM!!! IMPOSSIBLE TO CANCEL!

I've been coming to this gym for years for Tae Kwondo and the name has changed three times since I joined: Gold's Gym, Big A Gym (or was it Fitness?) and now 17 Fitness. The gym is as much as can be expected in such a small town; usually friendly staff that has a high turn-over rate (at least, this is true of the night crew) and recently upgraded equipment. It is usually clean and odor free. However, there have been many occasions where there were malfunctions in the bathrooms and with the water fountain and the floor in the "classroom" is in noticeable need of replacing. I'll remain as long as my TKD classes are there, but I am unsure I would pay a regular membership to workout.

Edit to add- tried to cancel my membership six months ago on FOUR different occasions. I am still be billed and am now being harrassed by the...

Owens Gym is the best gym! Over the years I have tried a few others in the area and even some out of town, but this is the gym that I feel like is home for me. It is the most friendly, encouraging, and accepting place. Some people think it’s only for meat heads, but that isn’t true! It’s a place for anyone and everyone that has goals. Whether you are new to the workout scene, or you have been training for years, it’s perfect for everyone. It’s like a family there. The customers and the staff are always glad to see you. There are also so many training options to choose from at Owen’s gym. They have a cross fit box, a cardio cinema room, a power lifting room, free weights and machines, and they offer a ton of different types of classes like boot camp, spin, Zumba, and classes for seniors! They also have tanning beds, locker rooms with showers, and even batting cages. The owner, Houston Owens is great too! He is part of our small town community, but he has big goals and dreams for each of his members! I want community and accountability when I go to the gym and that is what you will get at Owen’s. My experience at Owen’s has been great, so if your in the market for a gym you should definitely...

The perfect place for any level of fitness training you desire. The staff is friendly and helpful and you can feel how much they love the environment they are in the minute you walk in the door. Extra care is spent on cleaning to ensure the safety for others as well as plenty of space between equipment. I love that they take such much pride in the community and they enjoy the members and their time spent in the gym. They offer classes for any level and are always updating equipment. This gym will help you reach whatever fitness level you desire with no pressure or judgement. Even if you are not local and have to make time for the drive there, give it a shot and you won’t be disappointed. I am proud to be a part of this...
