Steel Society

Fantastic experience: Fairly new member but can’t say enough how great my experience has been. All the powerlifting equipment you need but more importantly everyone there is so supportive of one another. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever! The environment is amazing. The owners, Donnie and Lana have cultivated such a positive, welcoming, and motivating environment. If you’re looking for a place to start you wellness journey, this is it!

Fantastic experience: The best of Old school meets new school kind of gym! Clean, Supportive staff and gym goers. Just about anything you need from raw lifting to a mono lift. Deadlift bars, Power bars, Squat bars, Power racks, ER racks, and accessory machines (Calibrated plates and iron plates as well if you are into that thing). Overall, I'm very satisfied with my stay here at Steel. I believe if anyone wants to grow in their health and strength journey, you need a stable environment and Steel definitely has that for you.

Fantastic experience: Honestly the best gym I’ve ever been to! They welcome you with open arms and it feels like a second family. It’s amazing to workout here!

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym in the Atlanta area. For powerlifting and for general health. Immaculate gym kept clean with caring owners and incredibly friendly and supportive members.

Fantastic experience: I've been a gym goer for 26 years now and it's rare you will find a GEM like this. Not only is there great equipment for strength development, the community environment and vibe here is really amazing. The owners were very welcoming as we walked in. Members were super supportive of each other, spotting when people needed and stopping to cheer on other lifters during their big lifts. This is an incredible gym!

Fantastic experience: This is honestly THE BEST Powerlifting-focused gym I have ever been to. What they may lack in space and machines, they make up with incredible people and a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. The staff and the Steel community aren’t afraid to cheer you on, help you improve, and have your back. Once you join, you’re immediately family here.

Fantastic experience: This is the perfect gym for powerlifting, but even if your goal is to be healthier or to look better, you'd also enjoy the friendly and supportive environment. I love this gym because I feel safe and welcomed here. At first, I was worried that I wasn't strong enough to go here, so if you're thinking the same thing, know that no one here is going to judge you. It can seem intimidating because many members are so strong and work hard towards their goals, but they're all kind, good-hearted people. They encourage me to push myself and make lifting so much more enjoyable. Lana and Donnie are owners who care. They always greet the members and are down to chat or give lifting advice. They're constantly improving the gym, such as investing in high quality equipment, updating the layout to accommodate busy hours, or even providing extra hair ties in the restroom. If you're still unsure about joining, get a day pass so you can experience this place for yourself. Even though this gym sounded great on paper, I initially hesitated on joining because of the distance from my home. Now, I don't mind the drive at all because it's such a great place to be with wonderful people!

Fantastic experience: Super clean gym with owners who care about the equipment, the customers, and the gym itself. They’re always easy to get in touch with if you need them, and communication is never an issue. Love it!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym. The equipment is great, the gym is clean, and the culture and environment is something that all other gyms should imitate. The community is compromised of lifters from all skill levels. Everyone is kind and genuinely wants to see the success of everyone around them. The owners have truly put their hearts into this place in a way I have never experienced at another gym. I would happily recommend Steel to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Best gym I've ever been a member of. If you are looking for a gym where everyone encourages each other, this is your gym. Would recommend to everyone!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this gym. Super clean, everyone is so friendly and such an amazing environment. Highly recommend checking it out!

Fantastic experience: I have been to a few gyms since moving to Atlanta and this is the best one yet. The gym itself is clean, the equipment is well taken care of, and the owners are very involved. However, the best part of this gym is the people. The owners and the members are so supportive and quick to lend a hand if you ask for it. 10/10

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever! The environment is amazing. The owners, Donnie and Lana have cultivated such a positive, welcoming, and motivating environment. If you’re looking for a place to start you wellness journey, this is it!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to a bunch of different gyms (Crunch, Planet Fitness, NLO Compound, LA Fitness, University Gyms), but nobody and I mean NOBODY has the environment that they do here at Steel. The owners are always around during the day making you feel right at home. They have some of the best equipment I’ve ever been able to use including Kilo plates, and bars for anyone competing in USPA. The gym is always clean due to the owners always making sure its tidy when they’re there, and everyone else doing their part to tidy up. All in all this is my home away from home and I couldn’t recommend it more!!! 10/10

Fantastic experience: I recently moved to Lawrenceville for school last year. I was invited to train at Steel Society by a friend. I instantly was welcomed and felt like I was in a gym of people who actually cared and wanted to see me grow as a person. After joining Steel I developed relationships with people that are a huge a part of my life, as well as grown as a lifter and a person. Donnie and Lana are two amazing people who go above and beyond without hesitation. If any is serious about growing in the gym and growing as a person then this is the gym for you!

Fantastic experience: Steel Society is my happy place. No other gym compares to Steel Society. The owners are both personal trainers and are the nicest people who are passionate about fitness/health and their clients fitness goals. Rather your goal is to lose weight or gain muscle mass, this is the place where you will achieve and see results. Speaking of results, I’ve been a member of this gym for only four months and have seen so much progress. Lana is my personal trainer, and I absolutely adore her. She encourages me to stay motivated and is such an amazing trainer! You will not be disappointed and only proud of how far you’ve came because this is the place to be. You will never have to wait around because everyone is focused and courteous. As a woman, you don’t have to fear being stared down as everyone is really about their gains. If you looking to join a gym, I highly suggest Steel Society.

Fantastic experience: Its the best gym I have ever went to, both the owners and the people there are awesome. It has such a awesome atmosphere and everybody always trying to help you out. Plus, if you’re a powerlifter they have all the equipments you need from the calibrated plate to the power bars

Fantastic experience: I moved to Georgia in November and try a few gyms before coming across Steel Society. Hands down the best gym I have ever been to. Lana and Donnie have made me feel like family and all members are very supportive. Love my steel fam !!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this gym. The owners are the sweetest and beyond helpful. They’re very professional, friendly, and super motivational. Everyone that I’ve come to get to know or talk to in this gym have been very friendly and give great advice. I started attending this gym about 2.5 months ago and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made if you’re interested in attending a very goal oriented and comfortable environment I advise trying out this gym! I promise it’ll be something you won’t regret.

Fantastic experience: I have had massive gym anxiety in the past, the type of person that would avoid the free weights in every other commercial gym. I never would have thought I would weight train in a lifting gym like this but not only am I doing it, I LOVE it. The atmosphere is always positive and very much like a family. Lana and Donnie are not only very knowledgeable trainers but also amazing gym owners who make sure to foster a clean, safe and friendly training environment. I am so happy I found them!

Fantastic experience: This small, yet suffice, gym is filled with big lifters with even bigger hearts. It has everything you would need in a gym in order to stay in shape. It also is very attentive to cleanliness and neatness. All the members here take good care of each other creating a genuine camaraderie at the gym. The owners are well-respected, knowledgable, and trustworthy trainers who are willing to go beyond their limit in order to help you succeed in your goals. If you're tired of commercial gyms or looking for new friends/hobbies, The Steel Society definitely welcomes you.

Fantastic experience: This gym facility is a godsend! You can expect to see high quality equipment available along with adequate space to train personally or with friends.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming here since Jan 2021. This is a weight lifting concentrated gym but it is a home. The members are like family. It is reflective of the energy that Donnie and Lana (the owners) give off. Everyone is supportive, nice, and responsible. The gym is clean thoroughly and consistently. If you are looking for a positive community to help you through your health goals. I highly recommend :)

Fantastic experience: When I first came to Steel Society, I felt right at home. My prior gyms, I’ve just went in, worked out and left. Not bad, but Steel Society has been different from all of them. I’ve made a family here already. This gym provides belts, bands, chalk, etc. with the membership. The vibe here is heartwarming. There’s even special events that occur here. I’m even motivated to get stronger because such strong people train here. I’m LITERALLY at my strongest right now, and I don’t doubt that Steel Society has helped make that happen. Excellent gym where people care for each other, as our world should be. Join! ❤️

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Steel Society is the best gym! Their equipment is quality, the facility stays clean / sanitary, and best of all, the owners Donnie + Lana have created such a welcoming, inclusive culture that makes you never want to leave.

Fantastic experience: I have never been a “gym person” but becoming a part of steel society made me enjoy working out and kept me accountable as I began my journey to wellness. I started my fitness journey with them at the beginning of the year and it’s honestly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Donnie, Lana and steel fam are friendly, encouraging and inspiring. The facility has great equipments and they always keep it clean. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Wanted to go to new gym fresh out of college that still gave me a strong sense of community and Steel Society gave me that! Very friendly environment to novice lifters to advanced lifters! Lana and Donnie are there for you anytime, have it be about needing help about a specific exercise or just talking about your day! The equipment is well managed and very good quality! I am proud to be a member at Steel Society!

Fantastic experience: Steel Society is everything that I’ve been looking for. It’s a great, supportive environment with uplifting and sweet members. Lana and Donnie are the best and they will make you feel right at home. I’ve been looking for a gym with good gym etiquette where people wipe down and re-rack and this is the place where you can find that. No more looking around for weights!!!

Fantastic experience: I LOVE this gym!! I wish I could get out to it more, but lucky for me they have weekend memberships for those who live a bit far. You would be hard pressed to find a more supportive community of lifters, and that is absolutely a testament to the owners. Donnie and Lana genuinely want to help everyone who steps into Steel. They make it a safe and welcoming environment whether you're just starting out or a seasoned lifter. The gym is always clean, they have incredible equipment, and the environment is unmatched.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Quality I’ve never been to a gym that welcomes you like family. Everybody is friendly and the owners are so quick to get you integrated into the amazing culture they’ve created here at Steel. It’s a great place to grow yourself as a gym-goer and athlete. I highly recommend this gym to anybody who is looking for a second home!

Fantastic experience: The best gym I've ever been a part of. It's rare that you find a gym that cultivates the kind of environment you'll find at steel; one where the patrons and especially the owners care about the well being of the facility and its members. You're sure to meet your goals the right way if you train here!

Fantastic experience: This is my happy place! This is by far the best gym in Georgia!! I had very bad gym anxiety in the past but I don’t feel that way at Steel Society. Everyone here is very supportive & nice, I mean you can feel all the positive energy when you step in!! I highly recommend checking out this awesome gym & the wonderful owners Lana & Donnie.

Fantastic experience: Since my friends and I live in 3 different locations, we haven't been working out with each other as often. So we decided to meet once a month to get a workout in together and we choose steel society as our meeting point. Lana and Donnie have been very welcoming since the first day we started. I'm always looking forward for our monthly meets to get the chance to workout at steel society and talk to Donnie! Donnie has been very helpful and knowledgeable on my fitness journey. The atmosphere is like no other. Very family oriented. Gym members are always looking to help and give insight to whatever you need or have questions about. Very Clean. So don't hesitate to join! They will welcome you with open arms!

Fantastic experience: Was a member at lifetime fitness for 12 years before joining this gym, and people who go to lifetime know its well equipped. However this gym changed everything for me. You will not find a culture anywhere else like this place, I have not been to a gym with such helpful, empowering people, who actually want to see you grow and meet your goals in fitness and in life. The owners built this gym with culture in mind, with people of different races, colors, and religions, and we all feel Like family….literally. This place has become my second home and I’m very lucky to be a part of this community and this gym.

Fantastic experience: Steel Society is an excellent gym, particularly for those interested in weight training. The environment is uniquely supportive and comfortable, so I do not find myself experiencing any "pre-gym anxiety" like I would back when I went to larger commercial gyms. There is strong relationship between the gym owners (Lana and Donnie) and the members that is built on mutual trust and respect, so if that is your kind of vibe, I believe you would greatly enjoy this gym!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym !! I have never been to a gym where I am comfortable. Everyone there are friendly . Lana & Donnie are great coaches . Lana understand what my goals are . She always believes in me and that made me feel comfortable. I have back pain , and since I’ve started my workout journey I have not felt any pain . Gym is very clean ! I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Steel Society is everything you’d expect from a top notch gym AND THEN SOME. They have all the equipment you might need and is extremely clean and well maintained. What really sets the gym apart though is the environment the owners created and how knowledgeable and passionate they are. They really go above and beyond to make sure everyone feels welcome, no matter where they are on their fitness journey, and support everyone’s goals. The other gym members are all extremely friendly, respectful and supportive. Everyone cheers each other on and motivates each other to improve every day. There really is a great sense of community here.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. The owners are some of the best people I’ve ever met. Very kind, professional, friendly, inclusive. If you ever need them or have a question they respond very quickly. The first day I toured and tried the facility I knew I found my “spot”. The gym has a variety of machines and different training areas. For the focused power lifter this is a dream but I’ve seen all kinds of people on different places in their fitness journey here. They also offer personal training, they encourage and challenge their clients and are also their number 1 fans. Whether you’ve been on your fitness journey for years or are just starting, hands down an amazing facility from the people to the equipment!

Fantastic experience: I have been working out at this gym for a couple of months now and I love it! Lana & Donnie are amazing! The gym has an amazing atmosphere with great people there as well. The gym offers a variety of great equipment and it is spotless. I highly recommend this gym to anyone!

Everyone is friendly and always so encouraging! It's definitely an experience to witness a lifter pushing their limits and the entire gym stopping to cheer and encourage them! The owner's, Donnie and Lana, are fantastic! I appreciate the fact that they greet all members walking in by name and take some time to see how they're doing personally and how their fitness journey is coming along as well. I definitely recommend stopping by Steel Society to check it out and meet the Steel Fam!

Fantastic experience: Definitely the best gym experience I have ever had. The staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable and all the other customers are regulars who get to know each other like family. Powerlifting here has been an absolute joy. In addition, they are starting to come out with their own products like this pre workout which is just fantastic. Give them a try! Worth the price.

Fantastic experience: The two owner, Lana and Donnie, created an amazing and welcoming environment to help you in your fitness and lifestyle goals. Whether it be strength training, wanting to start your fitness journey, or just to maintain a fit and active lifestyle; Steel Society has the equipment and people that can help with that and anything in between. For those that already love to just work out, come to Steel Society and you will love a gym and what a gym really is like.

Fantastic experience: Steel Society is the greatest gym in Georgia. I mean it wholeheartedly when I say rather your 5 minutes or 5 hours away it’s worth a visit. The gym owner Donny and his lady Lana, along with the Steel Family has worked tirelessly to make the gym a wonder for powerlifters and gym enthusiasts alike ! Plus they are constantly trying to improve the environment, equipment and the atmosphere. Working out here is an awesome experience, and the hype is present wherever you are in your fitness journey. I couldn’t have made a better decision that’s going to this gym when I’m in town. The only thing missing is you! So please come visit this amazing place, and I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: I moved to Georgia knowing no one. I was on the hunt for a gym that was close by, and as soon as I toured Steel, I knew it was the one. The owners, Donnie and Lana, are so kind, and welcoming. Not only did they make be feel right at home, but it was so helpful knowing that the space was a safe one for a member of the LGBTQ+ community (like myself) to just be, train hard, and worry free. It's one of the cleanest gyms I have been to. The culture there is one full of people who are serious about their training, but never judgmental to others. I love it.

Fantastic experience: This gym has had everything you’d need to reach your fitness goals whether it be strength, weight loss, power, muscle building, or endurance. There is a wide range of barbells to chose from and machines that can be used in many different ways. The environment created by the members and owners, Lana and Donnie always makes you want to get up and move. Everyone is open for giving some type of advice and be constructive to your goals. I can easily recommend this gym to anyone looking to get to the next level.

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility with high quality, powerlifting specific equipment, including multiple power racks, deadlift bars, bench blocks, chains, etc. Numerous USPA and USAPL lifters train here - amazing lifting environment - come chalk up and throw around some plates! Spotters always available and a lot of experience and knowledge here!

Fantastic experience: Donnie & Lana are amazing! I never thought I would like to "train" in a strength training gym but Steel Society has completely changed my mind and transformed my body! I came to Steel Society exactly one month ago with my best friend. Donnie & Lana have offered me incredible guidance and the gym is simply just a fun place to hang out. No matter what fitness level you are (Beginner, Novice, or Pro Athlete) they have something that will challenge you. So what really differentiates these guys from the rest? It is simply the people. Donnie & Lana are very knowledgeable, passionate and professional in every aspect. They make every workout fun and challenging! I highly recommend Steel Society to anyone who wants to get in shape. Lana is my personal trainer and she is really awesome and helpful. The training is very fun and I really enjoy doing it. Everyday is a new training, so it’s never boring.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working out here for almost two months, which is adequate enough time for a review. Honestly, I love this place. Lana and Donnie are amazing. The gym is squeaky clean. The environment is super welcoming even to beginners like me. I 100% look forward to coming here every week. Lana and Donnie have done an amazing job at creating a welcoming but goal focused environment. Truly an amazing gym!
