Live Fit ATL — Local services in Chamblee

I may be the oddball here compared to other reviews, but felt it was important to note my experience for other women. About a year ago, I was a new mom who was struggling to get in shape and make time for myself. I was also fairly new to Chamblee and hadn’t tried many gyms near me. I found this place online and thought it was wonderful- only a few miles from me, women owned, and baby friendly! I started off about 2 times a week and tried various instructors. I would modify exercises since I had a c-section and didn’t have my old stamina. Most instructors seemed to be okay with this and would even come over to help me. After a month or so, Lacey told me after class that I may benefit from personal training. I thought it was nice, but explained that I barely had time to make it to the regular classes as a new mom and wasn’t ready for that kind of commitment. (On a personal level, I also enjoy group classes because it motivates me to have others around). She further pushed the topic and said I should do personal training only and then eventually join back into the group classes. This place was marketed as a gym that welcomed all levels of fitness, so I was a little thrown off by this. A day or so later, Gabby emailed me again asking me to consider personal training. This was a little too pushy for my liking. I repeated everything I told Lacey in my email back, and still said thank you for the offer. Also, I acknowledged that I may be slower than others (which again, I had only been back at the gym for a little over a month), and asked if “she felt I was holding others back in a group setting?” And never got a response on how to proceed. This felt so unwelcoming and no one should be forced to sign up for personal training. It has now been about 12 months, and I am in a much better place- have improved my core strength and endurance, lowered my BMI, and most importantly, found other women owned gyms that support me. I was never pushed or asked to leave any other group classes at other gyms. Sadly I wish this place worked out, but just...

I had tried a few other group fitness classes before but nothing had really meshed for me. I decided to give Live Fit a try because the location is so good and the first class is $5.. I am in no way in shape so I was very nervous to jump in. Lacey was so welcoming and made me feel comfortable right away. She makes sure you are doing all of the exercises correctly and is extremely encouraging so I was hooked. The pricing is similar to the other group fitness classes but you get so much more out of these classes. The classes are always under 10 people so you always get one on one attention from the instructor which makes it feel more like personal training. Every day is different and no workout is the same so it keeps it fresh. I thought about trying to get in shape on my own but there is no way I would ever do what we do in class at home. I would 100% recommend these classes from the beginner to the pro. One class is all it takes...

WOW! What a gym, Live Fit ATL is for you. Whether you are just starting your fitness journey, or have been on it for a while, the small group class setup is made for anyone! A wonderful community built around building others up and working up a sweat! Lacey, is incredible. She cares so much about each one of her clients. She gives you 1 on 1 attention in class, helps perfect your form, and pushes you to be your absolute best! Let me tell you something - when I first started training I could not do one burpee... now I'll do burpees all day if I could. ;) Heck, I even have a burpee nation sweatshirt now, courtesy of Live Fit ATL... which also sells the cutest MERCH! So come to the studio and try a class! Even if you are having a bad day or a good day you will have the BEST time at...
