UPDATE: So I ended up moving overseas for a job this month, but just wanted to update on my experience with Mustafa who was my trainer at this gym from July to end of October. He was a phenomenal trainer with so much knowledge. He helped me improve my form and also challenged me to keep progressing toward higher personal record with the amount of weight. I have a better understanding of how certain exercises target which muscles and he was sure to change up my routine after around 6-8 weeks.
Over worked with trainers in the past but Mustafa really was my favorite. I’d recommend anyone train with him if you need good support and someone knowledgeable as you progress towards your fitness goals.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: I looked at 5 gyms and spoke with 5 different trainers before signing up with Snap Fitness. I got a tour from Mustafa who was very welcoming when I walked in randomly to check it out. I decided to do personal training with him and he’s been a joy to work with.
In 2 weeks I lost almost 5 lbs. he’s great at giving instruction to ensure your form is correct to prevent injuries. He’s able to well gauge your limits and help you improve from week to week. Very lovely human being and I’d recommend anyone give him a try if you’re looking...
Read moreI've been a member for 6 months now and have been extremely pleasantly surprised with the experience and results. Snap Decatur is one of those no-frills gyms that manages to be greater than the sum of its parts. It's essentially a large room connected to the Agnes Scott College parking garage, but they have just enough equipment to cover the basics and then some. If you want some highly specialized equipment, you may have to go elsewhere, but they've got an array of cardio equipment, free weights, machines, and floor exercise stuff that will keep most people happily in shape, with a few sought after things - TRX, rings, deadlift pads, etc. It's generally not very crowded except closer to lunch time, even then it's pretty managable. The staff is very friendly and approachable, though they are only there a few hours a day. Trainers seem competent and personable, though I haven't worked with them directly. There are not a lot of classes, though there are some offered. Again - they do the no-frills/few-frills gym thing surprisingly well. For the money, you get a good amount of...
Read moreI've been a member at Snap Decatur for about 2.5 years and have left a review about the gym previously. However, this review is specifically to talk about my experience with trainer Aubrey Moorman. Aubrey is simply the best. When I joined the gym, I wanted to work with a trainer so that I could learn how all the equipment worked and learn proper form for strength training. Now, 2 years later, I am still training with Aubrey and have gained so much more than I imagined. He's always teaching, always encouraging, and even dishing out some tough love when I need it. Aubrey has helped me through several injuries (some more serious than others) and taught me modified exercises so that I could continue making progress throughout the healing process. He's also very knowledgeable about nutrition, so he can create a well-rounded plan for anyone who wants to improve themselves. I am very grateful for Aubrey's role in my fitness journey and highly recommend him...
