The Loft Athletic Club: Opinions

Negative experience: I asked for a trial week and they've charged me 150 USD... I've tried to reach them and i did received ANY RESPONSE. Still waiting for their response. Do not recommend this.
Fantastic experience: I went to get the experience and the entire atmosphere was amazing! It was so much fun, then music was awesome, the crowd was trainers were all amazing, and the crowd continued being overly enthusiastic! I was truly pushed to my fullest capacity but I loved it! Will be joining in Friday! Come check this place out! It’s clean, everyone seems so nice, friendly, hyped, serious, friendly, and fun!! The trainers even come and make sure that you are doing the exercises right! They really take this training very seriously! Hope to see you there!
Fantastic experience: I just started training with Dede a few weeks ago and it’s been such a great experience! She’s such a genuine person and I can tell she loves what she does. I’m already seeing great results and I love the training atmosphere. Definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: Loft Atl is so great at helping you manage weight and flexibility. The classes are wonderful and so motivating. All the coaches and instructors work with you to achieve your goals!!! I love this place!!
Fantastic experience: I've had the pleasure of training with Coach Dede at The Loft. Her enthusiasm, love of the profession and the motivation to reach your goals is transparent. I truly enjoy my workouts with her!!
Fantastic experience: I recently became a member at The Loft Athletic Club in Atlanta and it’s been an incredible experience. It is a small gym that feels more personal, the overall vibe is great. The staff has been incredibly nice and attentive. King at the front desk has a larger-than-life great personality. He sets the tone when you enter the gym. You can only be happy, pumped and ready to workout after you encounter him. I highly recommend Dede Thomoson as a personal trainer. She is very organized and inspiring. She provides encouragement, feedback and adjustments during the workout to ensure all members are getting better, stronger and staying safe. Working out with Dede has completely transformed my fitness routine and mindset to stay the course and remain disciplined. I definitely feel stronger and more confident in the gym and using weights. Lastly, the group of women that I’ve worked out with has been so supportive as well. My overall experience has been great, but my trainer, Dede set the tone for success from day 1. Thank you, Dede. I appreciate you and I would highly recommend her to be your personal trainer.
Fantastic experience: The Loft is one of the best athletic clubs in Atlanta. I have trained at The Loft for a few years now and my experience has been great. I train with Dede and she is absolutely amazing. Her energy is uplifting and positive but she also holds you accountable. She got me right pre pregnancy, kept me right during my pregnancy and now I'm currently on my post pregnancy fitness journey and I'm excited to put in the work and see results.
Fantastic experience: I have been training with Dede for almost 2 years now on and off and she is wonderful! I had left for some months and she encouraged me to come back and be consistent. She has accomplished her own significant weight loss journey and has set an example of what hard work and dedication to your health looks like. Best trainer I’ve ever had
Fantastic experience: Trained at The Loft a few years ago at the older location, just recently started back at the new location with Fitness Trainer Dede and she’s a beast! Great energy always, the workouts are tough at times but getting results! Challenges me and helps make me better! Would definitely recommend the gym and my trainer not to be biased but loveeee her!!! -Kia
Fantastic experience: The facility is very clean, the staff and patrons have great energy. Dede is the absolute truth when it comes to training. She is very informative, attentive to her clients and an overall gem. I love it there and love working with her!
Fantastic experience: 10/10. Great trainers. Fun and full classes. Clean and efficient facility. Everything you need all wrapped into one.
Positive experience: Great workouts, top trainers in the area, great vibes. It’s very professional and clean. Stay Down step class and Oh My Glutes booty workout class are top tier Prices are high in my opinion, but do have to pay for quality. Got canceled on a few times from a trainer and also sometimes the desk staff brings in odd ppl. But that was a very unusual experience and I reported it to management to address the situation.
Fantastic experience: Trap yoga ♀️ Sunday ♥️
Negative experience: I was going to try it out, but my friend went and said do not come here, her personal experience was that it was Over priced, the girl on the phone was so rude to her when she called, and the facility itself is filthy and stinks. Will not be returning, personal hygiene is a BIG issue here. It’s also good to know the trainers they use are contractors and will rip you off repeatedly, the owners excuse is “oh well they no longer work here, sorry for your troubles” and keep your money. Go else where or just do yourself a service, hire a professional one on one trainer with no additional fees or scams and workout on your own.
Fantastic experience: Prime downtown Atlanta is the home of this black owned athletic club. I was introduced to The Loft Athletic Club for a 2024 black history month event hosted by Black Enterprise titled “Health is Wealth.” The gym is spacious and offers great workout amenities to meet your workout needs. Beautiful black art adorns the walls. Ample free parking in the lot and adjoining garage. Support The Loft Athletic Club!
Fantastic experience: Body by Moody top notch vibes
Fantastic experience: I have been a member for 3 months, and it has been the best experience. Simone is my trainer, and she pushes me hard, but I appreciate it, and I've seen the results. The energy in place is unmatched. I highly recommend it.
Fantastic experience: Love the atmosphere. Everybody's there for fitness but fun. The personal attention encourage you to be YOUR best and help you reach YOUR goals. Many times Atlantas who's who are there for the same reason without being bothered or treated differently.
Negative experience: My card continues to be charged even though I no longer go here.I signed up to work with one of their trainers found out he was contracted which was fine. However, this trainer never showed up on time when we had dates scheduled he would be like I didn’t know we had a session today when I was scheduled with him for the same days every week or I'm out of town and not tell me until the day of or tell me that he posted on his Instagram story that he was not available but I don't check Instagram like that so the fact that this person didn't even text his client to let them know that he's going to be out of town was ridiculous. Not only that I requested my money back for half of the month because I was not trained for the other half of the month, and he refused stating that we completed most of the month, which was not true and all of a sudden a cancellation policy in place when it comes to requesting a refund for not receiving the service that I was paying for and the amount I was being charged to have access at the gym while training with him is still being charged to my account to this day. Every month that I trained with him which wasn’t for that long I had to keep tabs on make up sessions and days that he decided to be out of town and not tell anybody and when I ask for a partial refund for the month he couldn’t even do that, so I’m very frustrated due to the lack of professionalism and the lack of care.I am never paying for another trainer again in my life.
Fantastic experience: Get a great workout with some amazing people more than a workout it’s a fit for you and your life
Fantastic experience: Awesome experience.
Fantastic experience: The Best Fitness Gym In The South
Fantastic experience: We did trap boxing at this location and had a great time.
Fantastic experience: The environment and the trainers are beyond awesome!! Big Vibes and even Bigger Energy!!!
Fantastic experience: Listen, the energy here is top tier!!!! I did the Oh My Glutes class, but it was a full body workout!!!!
Fantastic experience: Lots of youthful energy I enjoyed the workout - glute boot camp.
Negative experience: They are confusing they say some classes are free and then you go there someone trying get money from the door ..is it free or not I can't afford to pay rite now...too many kids they owners I meet Dem one day they was kool not the owners fault...they try get m ok ney when class say free SMH
Negative experience: Dede is disgusting all she does is take people’s money to pay her rent and doesn’t work them out but you constantly check on her page and see her promoting the same photos from when she was big she may have motivation to get herself to a good space but when it comes to other she takes their money and does nothing
We had to part ways with her sorry that happened, she was a contractor never worked for the Loft so we are not privy to these things.
Fantastic experience: Didn't get a chance to really "GET INTO IT," but from what I seen coming & going, it lks like LOTS OF Fe.....FUN!
Fantastic experience: Great energy! Great instructors! They make everyone feel welcome! My favorite is Twerk and Sweat
Fantastic experience: EJ provided a great experience and amazing workout! Such great energy!!! Would highly recommend EJ, this gym and their classes!
Fantastic experience: Love the husband and wife team energy. I gotta make it out there with the new boxing bag and Competition Sport that I own and invented.
Fantastic experience: OMG I had an awesome time. The vibe was great the instructor was awesome. Everything was great about this place. Please support it's worth it for real.
Negative experience: Let me start off by saying several things dede Thompson is the absolute worst. She does nothing, cancels multiple times, takes peoples money and refuses to give refunds. Another point is the owners of the loft are promoting this behavior she has stolen from multiple clients tarnished their name and they continue to promote her and employ her that is absurd they need to hold people on their payroll accountable, switching locations and keeping the same sorry trainers is bad business for Dede to be a preachers daughter she needs to find God.
Fantastic experience: Amazing atmosphere, staff from the 1st day to present has been super helpful,friendly with bomb energy. I love Body Shock training ,Emel is top tier and the new gym is a vibe.Joined the 1st day and haven’t looked back since. 10 Star s if I could.
Fantastic experience: Power has a great energetic and very welcoming personality, he is super communicative about classes and experience has a whole. I’ve had a great time every day I come in.
Fantastic experience: Today was my first time visiting this gym. I attended an event where they had 3 classes back to back to back. The energy from all the instructors was EVERYTHING! You could tell they are very passionate about what they do! Nothing but positive energy from beautiful black women! I will definitely be making this my HOME GYM!!!
Fantastic experience: I have been a member of this gym for two years now and I am still pleased. Unlike other gyms with strict contracts and not enough machines, I find the Loft to be affordable and high quality. My trainer Amber @iamsteelefit is the best!
Fantastic experience: Love love love this gym! My trainer is Dede and she is amazing and she is making sure I reach my goals!! If you got goals get with Dede I promise it’s gonna be your best decision on your journey!!!
Fantastic experience: Glute Camp was I thoroughly enjoyed the class, although it wore me out. It was definitely a burner. The instructors are great. Yep, still a vibe AND a great workout.
Fantastic experience: Always have a great time working out here and everyone has great hospitality!!! Definitely would recommend as they have a wide array of classes no matter the level. The juice bar is everything and great atmosphere overall!
This means a lot! Thank you for being apart of our gym family!
Fantastic experience: Good group of qualified trainers with different skills sets in this gym. The key to great personal training is finding the right trainer that matches the client’s preferred training style. I worked with Power, the training director, to find the right trainer for what I wanted to work on. He took time to understand my wants and how I like to train and paired me with a trainer that matched my style. They also have a lot of good classes offered at night and on weekends. They offer a lot and it can overwhelming. Just ask questions and tell them what you want from training styles to packages.
Fantastic experience: I went to the Glute Camp Class and it was amazing. This was my first time coming here and I didn't leave disappointed at all. I had an amazing workout and I was so drenched with sweat. The energy was unmatched and the DJ was great. Not to mention the gym is just a whole vibe. And at the end of class I stopped and grabbed me a smoothie at their smoothie bar. They also sale fresh juices, sea moss and wraps to. Oh and a side note one of the owners has her own fitness clothing line called The Body NV and you can get some really nice gym clothes to while you're their. Oh and I'm just going to gone ahead and drop the fact that it's black owned. Now, after all that y'all just come on down and see all the hype for yourself. Thank me later cause I already know you will.

Positive experience: I’ve been here for a fitness class and the class is amazing. However, this gym is so small and gaining a lot of popularity so they definitely need an improved parking lot and just a bigger space overall.

Fantastic experience: Class (Glute Camp) is high intensity and full of positive energy. Instructors are fun and encouraging. Parking can be cumbersome so arrive early. Overall it’s a great environment.
Fantastic experience: I owe the growth I've made in the last 15 months to this place. It started with Jason! I literally tell anyone who ask, that man is the BOMBBBBB! G is the funniest, coolest, person ever, love him! Due to scheduling conflict I've since moved onto James !!! I wouldn't trade any of the relationships I've made with a soul! 10/10 recommend <3
Melinda this is dope! Thank you for this amazing review!
Fantastic experience: I first started the loft with Litraining’s twerk class and the ambiance energy and set up was EVERYTHING! I’ve recently added Dante the body and EJ’s v step to help with my cardio ! I have never worked out for longer than a few weeks, but The Loft is helping it become a lifestyle ! I have a dance class today and glute camp after and I can’t wait ! The loft has soooo many different ways to get active! So check it out and STOP making excuses!
Fantastic experience: I enjoy taking classes at this gym, I mainly go to Glute Camp on Tuesdays and the energy is unmatched. It’s fun, hip, and effective exercises where I see results already. I definitely will take other classes and continue my glute journey for my butttttt!
Fantastic experience: I’ve only been attending the loft for a little over a month now, but I love the atmosphere. The trainers are dope with good energy. Expect to put in work but enjoy doing it. With your own consistency you’ll see results. Glute camp is my favorite.
Fantastic experience: First time at The Loft Athletic Club. It's nice and spacious. I attended the Stallion Ball-Fit class. I got a great workout, so much fun and the instructor Nina is so full of energy! I absolutely recommend this class. I'll definitely be back, Mondays at 6:30pm!
Fantastic experience: This is my absolute favorite gym! I drive 45 mins to come here. I’ve been coming here since March and the energy is unmatched! The Trampolean Fit class with Brittany and the Glute Camp are my absolute favorites!! Everyone there is soooooo supportive and kind. I also love how it’s so inclusive, with people of all different body types on their fitness journey. It definitely has a family supportive type of feel you can’t get at another gym.
Negative experience: Do not go to this gym…. I had deedee (acv fitness)as a trainer and she was a complete scam. I was ripped off on my last session trainer was always late and pulling no calls no show. I’m out of 500 and now I have to sue in court. In 8 months she canceled over 30 times. There are better gyms that care about there customers. My goal was to gain I didn’t reach that goal I had to get a second trainer because she lacked so bad.
Hate to hear that she is no longer with us, she was a contractor never worked for the Loft
Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming here sporadically for the last few months and I absolutely enjoy the classes every time I come. The energy is always so lit from both the instructor and class attendees. Glute Camp Tuesdays are my favorite so far!!!
Fantastic experience: I drive 2.5 hrs every week to go to the Wednesday LRKCamp they host here! I have also gone for the Twerk N Sweat cardio class on Saturdays, and would like to go up for a Self Care Sunday yoga class. This place and these people are amazing, and ready to welcome anyone and everyone serious about their fitness. 12/10 HIGHLY recommend
Fantastic experience: I love the energy at the loft. The group workout classes are soooo AMAZING! The trainers do NOT let you quit on yourself. Get into it!!!
Fantastic experience: Attended a stretching and mobility class here and it was amazing! By far the best gym I’ve been to and I will definitely continue to go to as many classes they have.
Fantastic experience: What a great gym facility! As a business owner I am very big on customer service. The staff is always friendly and pleasant. Cree does an amazing job with new members and always makes you feel welcome walking through the door. All of the trainers are helpful and welcoming. You don’t have to be an expert body builder or super athlete to feel comfortable. I highly recommend The Loft Athletic Club to anyone looking for a new gym to call home.
Positive experience: I went here for a step fitness class on Thursday and the class was high energy and fun! Definitely will get a great workout and sweat on. I would recommend that for people in the back they should show the demonstrations of the steps in the front and back of class so everyone can see. Also they definitely need better air circulation because it’s uncomfortably hot/humid with the number of people they allow in the class and given covid they should have better air flow. Other than that I will be coming again for more classes.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending this gym for 4 months now and I WISH i knew about it wayyy sooner. My trainer Nick is awesome, so nice and listens. Then I started attending the classes and I’m addicted now …every single male and female I’ve met has been so nice. I say hi to everyone and no one has ever been mean. Ladies i want to note I like to think I’m cute and no guy has ever tried to hit on me like at regular gyms. This place is top tier , don’t wait …attend one of the classes TODAY ( Trampolean Fitness Every Monday @ 7:30 PM is my Fav )
We love to Hear that you are enjoying our classes Tati. Thank you for this awesome review!
Fantastic experience: My absolute favorite gym!!!!! The energy is unmatched and everyone is working with a trainer so everyone knows what they are doing. You don’t get harassed by men and it’s more of a family vibe between everyone. 10/10 would recommend.
We love to hear that; we make sure to create a safe space for all of our members. Thank you for your review, Kiera!
Fantastic experience: I initially found this gym through my girlfriend inviting me to join her on Tuesdays for GluteCamp. And WOW, hands down- you will get ONE OF THE BEST WORKOUTS . I literally burn over 800 calories per class!!! I’m literally in love with taking these classes ☺️
Positive experience: Great time with DanteThwBody! His energy was off the charts!
Fantastic experience: I have never been inside of this gym but my 17 year old son dreams of working in this place as his first job and training his body at the same time!!! I'll give this gym 5 stars just because of @4Kuniversity --FOLLOW that Instagram page if you're reading this. 4Kpathway to success
Fantastic experience: ...Nice place to work out...
Fantastic experience: Love every minute of every day I visit!
Fantastic experience: Love it. Everyone is nice. Willing to help. And my trainer is the truth.
