Good gym but don't waste your money on a 3 day pass.
Weekend and 24hr access is not included on the 3 day pass and this was not explained to me when I purchased a 3 day pass on a Friday evening.
24/7 access is only for those who have full membership.
I wasted my money and my time.

Yes the gym is nice however they continued to charge my card even after canceling my account and when I got a new card because they were charging me, they sent my info to a debt collector.

Jackson is such a good handsome trainer, me and all my girlfriends who come here say hes the best theyve ever had, when I had him as a trainer Iโ€™ve never gotten a better pump then before. Hes definitely worth the trip alone, the gym is also super nice and well maintained. 5/5 stars would definitely recommend!

Hands down the best gym Iโ€™ve ever been to. The equipment is well taken care of, itโ€™s always clean, and the gym itself is never too crowded. My trainer, Jax, is pretty knowledgeable and actually takes the time to help you improve your form and reach your goals. Most gyms Iโ€™ve tried out have all had PTs that would make crude comment about my body and Iโ€™ve never enjoyed that so when I took up training with a PT here I thought it would be the same but Jackson has been nothing but kind. (Although he does have a weird sense of humour๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚) Iโ€™ve taken up weight lifting with him because I felt heโ€™d be able to help me and Iโ€™m glad I did because Ive honestly seen a lot of progress already. Heโ€™s probably one of the more popular ones though since I always see him chatting with someone new.

Anyways I recommend this gym to women like me that want a safe environment to train and grow muscles without putting in too much effort.

After trying a few gyms, I love this one. Never overly crowded, never feels intimidating, and the staff is friendly. My fiance and I hired Jackson Hart as our trainer and we couldnโ€™t be happier. Heโ€™s extremely knowledgeable, patient, friendly, and will push you so you get the best out of your workout!

Just started at the AF in Watkinsville a few months ago. When I signed up with Aaron Davis for personal training, I knew I was in for some hard work! He's super knowledgable about all levels of abilities and goals that people may have for fitness. But honestly, Aaron has truly invested in me and my success from the start. He did research on my particular health situation, suggested a variety of ways to modify exercises that I had NEVER seen, and I'm seeing results! The Watkinsville location is nice, the people are very laid back and I don't feel that weird "do you come here often" vibe. I love the variety of ages and stages of fitness that everyone there seems to have, which is encouraging to me to just go and be myself. Check out the facilities and definitely talk to Aaron with any questions. If you even think you MIGHT want a personal trainer, he's your guy!

My experience with the personal training program here has been great. I have trained with Jackson for at least two years now, and I can't say enough good things. He knows what he is doing, listens to my goals, and clearly adapts my workouts accordingly. He is great at working around and through individual physical challenges like past injuries and joint pain. I'm over 60, so reducing hip and knee pain and offsetting muscle loss have been my priorities. I am, without a doubt, stronger, healthier, more "able" and ,more pain-free than I have been in years. I am convinced that Jackson's guidance and encouragement have prepared me to stay active for many years to come. Highly recommend!

Wasn't that bad of a gym for $9.95 a month. Been with them since they were Omni and out of no where they hit me with a $21.95 charge per month. At the time I wasn't going here and hadn't gone in several months due to relocating for work. I never once got an email from them stating there would be a change In price. I mean if you're going to charge a 130% more you'd think they would fix their problems as the place has really gone down hill. I had to put a stop payment and dispute things with my credit card company just to put a stop to things!! Real greedy company!!

Dirty facility. Many machines badly in need of repair. Tried cancelling membership, and they made it a nightmare to do so. It is going to cost you to cancel. They lied and said I never asked to cancel, but I did. They then added fees to my account before i could cancel. BEWARE!

I'm going to leave my old review for comparison below.

I have to say that things have improved here. The manager did apologize a few months ago for some of the things I mentioned in my earlier review. They seem to be trying harder to make everyone feel like they are valued members, not just the musclebound athletic types, but the regular folks who are just trying to stay as healthy as they can. While overall they aren't the friendliest bunch, I don't need that in a gym, they don't seem like they are phoning it in anymore.

PS: I did look at another gym, and they wanted me to give them all my contact information just be be able to look around the gym and check out their equipment, said it was for liability reasons or something, I walked out.
_______________________________________________________________________

If youโ€™re looking for a gym membership with a club that works hard to treat you like a valued member and tries to keep lines of communication open, then you better go somewhere else!

I signed up back when the pandemic first started, they didn't close like other gyms (one star), and they have most of the equipment you may need (second star). They used to have a manager that cared about making members feel welcome and appreciated, but she left for a better paying gig.

Now the staff sits around staring at their phones (or eating), never looking up to greet clients. The only people they'll acknowledge seems to be people paying for additional training or their personal gym buddies.

One morning I went out of my way to say good morning to the manager just to see what would happen, he mumbled "morning" as he passed and never made eye contact with me.

Last week I noticed one of the bathrooms had no toilet paper in it. It was one of those dispensers that held like four rolls. I told a kid that worked there but he was too busy flirting with the new girl to do anything about it for 10 to 15 minutes. Hope no one had to use that bathroom!

People don't need a song and dance routine just for walking in or being members, but treating them as a valued customer shouldn't be too much to ask. I think it's time to drive around to some other gyms and see how they react to the possibility of a new member.

Funny, I put a review up yesterday and itโ€™s not showing? They must pay the extra money to not show negative reviews! Crazy how that works in todayโ€™s time. Guess you call that professional? THIS gym is a sad place-they never want you to leave. The Love of money is the root of all evil! So if you ever plan on stopping their gym just know that itโ€™s going to cost you MORE than signing up!!!

I've been coming to AH&F Watkinsville for the past few years now, and I really love it. Their recent renovations have made it and even better place to work out, the gym is always clean, it's affordable, and they will likely have whatever equipment you need.

Love the place. Only issue I have is in the weight room you have 5 or so Hammer Strength machines and only 1 has the muscles used posted on it. I'm not exactly new to working out but I'd still like to know exactly what it is I'm sitting down to use.

I have really enjoyed the convenience of this location close to my home and the fact that it is open 24 hours. The facility is always clean and the equipment is excellent. It is never crowded and you rarely have to wait for equipment. The staff and others using the facility are all good people.

Ever heard of a gym membership going to collections? You will here! I was a member for over a year. While I can not say for sure if it was from the old outdated equipment or the lack of padding on the equipment, I ended hurting my sciatic nerve while in this gym. I was nervous about going back and injuring myself again and did not go the last 4 to 5 months that I paid for. My debit card number got compromised & canceled because of another place and when the manager, Kayla, text me about updating my debit card, I simply responded with "please cancel my account." I did not want a refund for months not used, just did not want to continue paying and not going. So, since they have a 30 day cancelation period... What Kayla informed me was that they would not cancel my membership and keep charging it until 85 days hit... Once 85 days past due hit, the gym would just sell my inflated 3 months membership to a collection agency...this harming my credit standings and would have to pay more for 3 months membership, I never would have had an opportunity to use. Do not join this gym, they will never let you leave without paying for additional months. They also do not even provide towels to their members or know who their members are. When I walk in to cancel my account and pay for another needed month, you could at least know my name of a member after a year of membership.

This is now my go to gym. The weight equipment is mostly Hammer Strength that use plate weights. There is a vast selection of dumbbells. Several bench presses. There are two squat racks and a smith machine. Three Concept2 row machines. Plenty of TRX stations. Dozens of cardio machines, but that is not my thing. I like how it is always nearly empty, never have had to wait for anything here. The music is very pleasant and the staff friendly.

This has been my fitness home for a while now and I have always been impressed with cleanliness and wonderful customer service here. Cynthia is an amazing trainer and I have lost over 30lbs so far and want to encourage others to do the same. Donโ€™t let one bad review keep you from joining, amazing transformations happen here.

The people that manage this location are lies, thieves, and cowards! Their personal trainers arenโ€™t committed and unprofessional. The lockers rooms are not sanitary and have water bugs in them! Half of the equipment does not work!!! Lastly when you sign up for membership they deceptively try to stick you with a membership with them for 12 months! After months of not using my membership and requested cancelation they tried to charge my account for over $200 without my permission, after I called and was confirmed that my account with this gym was โ€œfrozenโ€ and was told my card would not be charged!! These people are frauds ... save your time & money !!!!

I have been a member of many health clubs across the country over the past 35 years and the one thing that is of paramount importance to me is customer service and relationship building. That is why I was very pleased today that Kelly Farris was able to help me expeditiously establish my 3 memberships as part of the transition from the Omni to AHF. There is competition, there is always competition, but I am a very loyal person and it is not always the facilities or programs that keep me around but more importantly it is people like Kelly. Thank you for great customer service and honesty.

Kelly from Watkinsville is the best, she is super positive and helpful, always smiling. She helped me alter my gym membership so that I get the best experience out of the gym. As well as help my husband get set up with personal training sessions that best fits his schedule and price range. Watkinsville location is the best for people who enjoy working out privately, with little crowd. Despite being small the gym accommodates many needs, offering classes, private trainers and 24hrs service. Not to mention you always have the option to go to the bigger gym in Athens so best of both worlds.

After being a member for a while, I needed to adjust my membership type due to time and budget. I was helped right away this morning by a very polite team member. It's nice to know they will work with you when your preferences change.

Athens Health & Fitness (formally Omni Club) has definitely taken a turn for the better! They've always had the best equipment in town, but management now rocks!! If you ever need anything or have any questions Ken is always willing to fix things up or inform you. I'm glad to have a great place in Athens to go to workout. I would encourage other people to give them a second chance if you've written them off.
