1858 athletic club — Local services in Alpharetta

The day I walked into 1858 was one of the best decisions I've made for my fitness journey. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warmth and a genuine sense of community. The atmosphere here is unlike any other gym I've been to… and I have been to over 150 gyms from Washington to Florida as I travel frequently for work. This is not just a place to train, it's a tight knit family. Every member and the staff are all genuinely interested in making you the best version of yourself. This is a TRUE Bodybuilding gym. Period.

What sets this gym apart is its culture. The owners have created an environment where everyone feels welcome and supported. Whether you are beginning your fitness journey or a professional athlete, there's a place for you here. The sense of camaraderie and community among members is unmatched, and it's incredibly motivating to be surrounded by people who share your dedication to health and wellness.

But what really stands out to me is the ownership. The owners are hands-on, truly care about their members, and have so much pride in their gym. They go above and beyond to ensure that everyone feels valued and included. Whether it's offering personalized training advice or simply taking the time to chat and get to know you, they make you feel like part of the family. Also, I should mention the facilities and equipment are top notch. This gym features some of the best equipment in the world. It is all hand selected, in great condition, and constantly maintained. Their wide range of equipment allows you to get an amazing workout in no matter what your goals are: from trying to get back in shape, all the way to professional powerlifters and bodybuilders.

I've been a member here for a while now, and I can honestly say that it's more than just a gym – it's a second home. If you're looking for a place to not only improve your fitness but also build meaningful connections and be part of a supportive community, this is the...

I was a member in 2019 (before work moved me out of state), and recently dropped in on a work trip. I was blown away by the evolution that Justin and Sherrie have fostered while still maintaining a strong sense of community. I’ve dropped in to quite a few gyms over the years and honestly have never seen or experienced anything like it. All of the equipment was hand picked by Justin and Sherrie (you won’t find this selection or caliber anywhere else). To be able to blend body building with “crossfit” style workouts provides a unique balance that enables you to focus on your physique while conditioning with compound movements that engage multiple muscle groups. I also love that the programming that Justin and Sherrie have embraced focuses on balance between all of the heart rate zones - this promotes recovery and progress (as opposed to beating yourself in the ground every day). Lastly, much like the equipment and programming, Justin and Sherrie have also evolved. They understand that one person’s goals are not the same as another person’s. Everyone is unique and in different phases of life. If you’re looking for good people that understand fitness, nutrition and a healthy lifestyle, when you come to Justin and Sherrie you’ll have two of the very best that are also engaging and very...

I recently joined Crossfit Alpharetta about 5 weeks ago and enrolled in their 6 week challenge program. I have tried many things in past from all kinds of diet programs, gym, personal training etc and yes though everything worked for me temporarily but none of them were very sustainable for me as most of them were very strict to follow for long period of time and hence I could not continue. However with crossfit it was different. Their program is simple to follow (though not very easy) but very practical. They let you pick your own food as far as you hit the right numbers for nutrition which I think was very flexible and sustainable. Also their workouts are very exciting. All the classes you do in a group set up and every session you follow a new sequence of different set of exercises. Many times you workout in a team of 2 or 3 folks, which makes it less stressful during the session. Above all, I think the owner Justin Tway is amazing. He is very flexible, approachable, helpful and encouraging all the time. I loved the ability to reach him by phone or text anytime I wanted some help in focusing on the program. All the trainers he has hired are amazing and are very committed. I would be CFA's client for as long as I live in this neighborhood and I look forward to be the fittest...
