Urban Body Fitness

Negative experience: I worked out at UBF for about a year while recovering from an injury that kept me out of my normal sport. I’m a petite female who doesn’t lift a ton of weight but mostly knows what she’s doing, for context. I did not like this gym. It’s super crowded, heavily male majority, and some men who really creep. One dude catcalled while I was deadlifting and I was so startled that I injured my back. That hasn’t happened to me since the old 24 hour fitness creepy days. The staff who work there are very nice and competent but the owner is weird, and once put up a sign saying that CAMERAS WERE GOING UP in the gym because people weren’t cleaning equipment. I get it, we should all clean up, but it was bizarrely threatening. I think ownership could do a lot to make this a less default-male space. They hold seminars on men’s prosfate health; maybe have some sessions on women’s strength. There are lots of people in the Atlanta area who would be happy to come help with that. All gym culture needs to get more inclusive, and UBF is unfortunately no exception.

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a new gym after being a member of windy hill athletic club for the last year and a half. Dr Sam and Dr Paul are amazing chiropractors practicing here. They recommended the gym and I’m thrilled to have found a new facility that I love!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in town. Spacey, great equipment, and clean.

Negative experience: Says “come in for a 7 day membership with just a card a your ID. It’s that simple.” No, it’s not that simple. They don’t actually offer this - and their expectation is that your “trial” converts to a monthly and that you’re pressured into joining. I wasn’t allowed entry, there’s “no memberships left.” Waste of time and bait & switch on the site. Fuming. No mention of this detail anywhere on the site, not even an asterisk.

Fantastic experience: I've trained at gyms all across the country and I think this might be my favorite

Fantastic experience: I've been very impressed with the gym culture, equipment, and just all around vibe at UBF.

Fantastic experience: I go here regularly through class pass and love the gym. It has everything from free weights to bands, turf and more. It’s a motivating gym where everyone is almost always working out with a purpose.

Fantastic experience: I'm doing a 7 day trial currently, but I really like it here so far. There is a ton of strength training/lifting equipment. It does not feel overcrowded like La Fitness. The coffee and towel service is also great. I love the location. Close to my home, but also close to other convenient spots for quick errands afterwards. (Piedmont Park/Beltine, Trader Joes, Coffee shops)

Fantastic experience: Great gym, lots of equipment & weights, very friendly people

Fantastic experience: Great gym with a lot of equipment and a great community atmosphere!

Positive experience: Very nice gym, has everything you need. The owner is very nice but no one smiles, no one says hi to each other. Not used to this kind of vibe at gyms.

Positive experience: Almost perfect gym just really needs a sauna

Fantastic experience: UBF is an outstanding gym. It's a great cross between a small boutique gym and mall-like LA Fitness. Rad, the owner, is friendly and hands-on. He has FULLY equipped UBF with top-notch equipment (Rogue, Assault, Precor, and more) for all workout types including the extras trainers and advanced fitness goers use. Stop in and see for yourself along with the expanded size! There's a real sense of community and mutual support. Members are serious about their fitness yet always willing to answer a workout question or offer a spot. Individual spray bottles and hand towels are at check in. Plenty of free parking along with spacious locker rooms, clean private showers with soap & shampoo, plus towel service.

Fantastic experience: First gym I've ever been to that makes me want to go the gym. Staff is all very chill and friendly, and you get a similar vibe from the members all around. People of all experience levels go here, and my favorite thing about the place is that its never too crowded, the only time it's busy is right after work around 6pm (Show me a gym that's not) The equipment is premium and plentiful, and I think the price is a great value for what you're getting out of a gym (There's no club fees/initiation either, which is something I've always hated about the gym industry.) I would highly recommend this gym to anyone in the area.

Fantastic experience: Perfect gym. With the recent expansion, it's probably the largest gym in the southeast. I defy anyone to name a piece of equipment or accessory they don't have. The owner, Rad, is kind and responsive to customers. They have Wifi, free coffee, various other amenities. I appreciate he staff and enjoy the camaraderie of various regular gym-goers.

Fantastic experience: Best in-town gym in Atlanta. A real community.

Fantastic experience: One of my favorite gyms I’ve ever been a member of! Ample equipment, low crowds, clean, and not too expensive.

Fantastic experience: Have been coming here for 15 years. Always the cleanest most usable gym. Have all the free weights and weight machines you need. They just expanded giving more space for floor and stretching work. Bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers are always very clean. You can tell they are always improving with small adjustments over the years.

Fantastic experience: This is my favorite little secret spot in the city! It’s a cozy neighborhood gym with friendly staff, a ton of equipment, and the cheapest membership I’ve seen so far. As a female, I feel really safe coming here. Very nice locker rooms as well.

Fantastic experience: 日本から行きました。カネキンさんもトロントプロの動画で紹介していました。 スタッフのビジター対応も良く、日本の人でも問題ないです。17ドルビジターです！とても良いジムです！

Fantastic experience: FYI they're not taking any new members. You have to be referred by a current member or trainer. website is not up to date.

Positive experience: Nice little gym. Great trainers.

Fantastic experience: This is a clean, appropriately priced, chill gym. I love it.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Never crowded, great staff, lots of equipment, and Olympic platforms!

Fantastic experience: Great gym… love the experience and atmosphere. And the boxing bag.

Fantastic experience: Very large traditional Gym with ample amount of high quality equipment, free weights, and racks. It’s definitely what you’re looking for

Fantastic experience: It’s a clean, and well managed gym with a good variety of machines, and equipment. The staff is also really friendly/welcoming

Fantastic experience: Incredibly well managed, clean and fully equipped. Free towels, free good quality coffee, well oiled and well-kept machines. Never too full.

Fantastic experience: Visited ATL for the weekend and so glad we went by Urban Body for our workout! Had everything I needed for my lifting session. Staff is also super sweet. Women’s utilities like the shower and changing room were so nice. I wish this was my “home base” gym. Definitely going to visit again when I’m back in the ATL area. ❤️

Fantastic experience: I have been at UBF for almost a year and love it. The equipment is well maintained and the owner, Rad, is usually on site making sure everything is running smoothly. Rad is so involved and cares so much about members that he actually pauses new memberships when he notices wait times for machines/crowding. I go at different times during the week and while sometimes it’s busy, I have never had a problem getting a good workout in. The members are respectful and are there to work out—everyone is welcome!

Fantastic experience: This gym is awesome. I don’t love working out and I don’t love gyms. But this place is changing my mind about both. It is clean, spacious, and well equipped. The staff are also awesome. And I never feel like a dork who doesn’t belong at the gym. This is a huge plus for me.

Fantastic experience: I love working out here! It has all the machines you would ever need, in addition to the free weights and racks! They just added a turf area to their space! The owner is very friendly! I would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Visited Urban Body Fitness as a one off from out of town and left wishing that we could take this gym home with us. Very clean facility, great machine options, not over crowded, and an extremely friendly staff. Locker rooms and showers are also top notch. We will be coming back if/when we visit Atlanta again!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Urban Body for years, and you can't beat this gym. It's clean with towel service, has lots of plates and well-kept equipment, and Rad actually invests in new machines and expanding the space. I travel a lot for work and tried supplementing with a membership at a chain, and they all just made me appreciate Urban Body more.

Fantastic experience: Everything you need in a nice neighborhood independently owned gym. Very easy to sign up, no big contract. About $60/mo. Wide variety of equipment, all in good repair. Nice little thoughtful touches. Easy parking and on the Beltline (it's up a hill behind the gym) just off Piedmont Park. Great tucked-away, but central, location. Usually busy, but not crowded. Attitude free. Occasional update emails from the owner, not marketing emails, but updates on the gym. Oh, and Sean's has good food next door, coffee and a nice little outside area to sit, or grab to go. Fingers crossed the gym will stay in place with the new owners

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to this gym for about a year and a half now, and I can confidently say that it’s the best gym I have ever been a member of. The equipment is well-maintained, and the gym is super clean. The people are friendly, and the owner genuinely cares about the members and the community. It’s refreshing to find a gym that isn’t run by people who only care about signing up the most members for their bottom line.

Negative experience: Very disappointed, they were not accommodating and my time was wasted.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in midtown

Fantastic experience: Incredibly clean, great equipment, and wonderful staff. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: A polished, hidden gem in a sweaty sea of overcrowded LA fitnesses in the metro area.

Fantastic experience: Inclusive gym where everyone can find a trainer and tools they need.

Fantastic experience: More than sufficient gym. I’m in the area for a short time, so it’s nice that they offer short term memberships.

Fantastic experience: I stopped by Urban Fitness today just to gather some ideas of what I can do at my facility in another area of GA. Here is what I seen: Covid practices still in place with bottles and rags. Gym was very clean and organized. Posters detailing what should be happening was arranged around the gym. Gym was very neat and organized. Had about a 30 minute conversation with the desk staff about how they were operating and such. Learned a lot of great tips and suggestions. I strongly suggest this gym as a place anyone would go and try. They have a lot of different equipment than your traditional gyms. Great atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: So clean, great staff, very good hours

Fantastic experience: Have been a member for 2 years now. No complaints. Owner is actively involved. Professional staff and well maintained equipment. Free easy parking.

Fantastic experience: Amazing! Friendly staff, well-maintained, and clean with good amenities. Has a cute local gym vibe but also pretty much all the equipment you would need as an experienced lifter and everything in between.

Fantastic experience: Bad times but good gym.

Fantastic experience: Patrick at the front desk is amazing

Fantastic experience: Love this gym!!! I've going here for over ten years. Highly involved owners and management that truly care about the facility. ALWAYS clean and great positive environment. THE BEST GYM INTOWN ATL!!!

Fantastic experience: Clean, friendly attitude-free gym. The owner keeps the equipment maintained and is always adding new things or updating the line-up of equipment. Liberal access to clean towels throughout the facility. Good parking access as well.

Fantastic experience: Clean, has everything you could need. Getting more and more crowded, especially early mornings and evenings.

Positive experience: I have no complaints about the gym -- except one important one -- the equipment in the weight room is really old -- like REALLY old -- and should be updated.

Positive experience: The most expensive gym in the area which is also much smaller than all other gyms around

Fantastic experience: The gym is extra clean and all protocols are followed including masks. Great equipment. Best massage ever by Will. Book him Sunday through Thursdays.

Positive experience: It used to be adequate with pricing around $10/1 visit and $70/1 month without a contact. Now its $18/1 day and $90/1 month which is definitely overpriced. Especially since its a nice gym, but SMALL and nothing special. NOT like something big that has a pool, spa, etc.

Fantastic experience: Reasonably priced, super clean, and lots of equipment. UBF is such a fun and inviting exercise space to really work up a sweat. The music is spot on. Also, the owner is kind and personable.

Fantastic experience: Signed up early June 2020. This was my first gym membership and amazing experience so far. The staff keeps all the equipments clean and safe. And if you need anything, the staff is always happy to help. I highly recommend! Great vibs in both the heavy weights and cardio areas. :D

Fantastic experience: I really like going to UBF. I've been a member for about a year, there's a good variety of equipment and it's in a good location with easy to find parking. Most members are respectful of putting weights away, minding their space, not being obnoxious, etc. Since they reopened after the pandemic, I find the mask mandate and cleaning protocols very effective and I feel safe working out here. Capacity is limited, everyone is given a large spray bottle to clean equipment before and after use. If you need a mask break, you can step outside to the back to get some fresh air.

Fantastic experience: Clean place with a good vibe and nice staff.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! UBF has the perfect compliment of equipment, great setting with high ceilings and exposed brick, and is never too crowded (even at its peak busy hours). You can't beat the proximity to Piedmont Park as well!

Fantastic experience: Well kept. Nice setting. Very clean!

Fantastic experience: Great gym that always offers 1 week free passes

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym. All the stuff you need, low-key vibe, you can focus and get your lifting done, and the amenities are great too.

Fantastic experience: Awesome spot to workout. Staff and members are super friendly and supportive. I workout with Beth, a personal trainer and she REALLY knows her stuff. I am not a "gym person", but I joined specifically to train under Coach B. After our first session, I did not feel like she really gave me a good, intense session...until the next morning when my core, upper body and legs were COMPLETELY SORE!! Coach B is so great at what she does that you don't realize the intensity level you are achieving until you attempt to use that muscle group the next day. I've lost over 160 pounds and I'm sticking with Coach Beth Feagins! Check her out at Urban Body!

Positive experience: I prefer this gym over all the others around. It has real lifting plates and kettle bells. Showers with towels and a great staff. I don't give it 5 stars because it's a bit small/cramped and the location is great and bad at the same time.

Fantastic experience: Group Therapy on Monday @ 5:30 PM

Negative experience: This business

Fantastic experience: Courteous staff, clean gym, good amount of space and equipment (even during busy hours). Members and trainers are motivating in a judgement-free zone. Plus...the cafe in the strip has great cold brew iced coffee and breakfast.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the city!

Fantastic experience: I LOVE this gym!!! Not from around here, just visiting. I want to move here & live in a tent outside this gym & get stacked out. Perfect equipment to get yoked.

Fantastic experience: UBF is the best gym I have experienced. The staff is friendly and helpful. They are up beat like they enjoy being there. The gym is clean and the locker rooms are very nice. I hit the gym before work and I use their complementary body wash, shampoo and mouthwash. It costs a little more than other gyms, but it is worth it. The people who go to UBF are all friendly and polite. You can look around at your UBF peers and feel good about yourself being in their company. The Machines are well taken care off, the weights are always in order. There are tons of cardio machines.
