The Forum Athletic Club - Atlanta, Georgia

I cannot say enough great things about the Fast Twitch Class with Sakai at the Forum Midtown! Sakai is the only reason I make it to this class every Sunday—his vibe and energy are absolutely unmatched. He creates an atmosphere that is both motivating and fun, making every workout something to look forward to. Plus, his music selection is the best—it keeps you moving and makes the class fly by. I’m here every Sunday when he’s teaching, and it’s honestly become the highlight of my week. If you’re looking for a class that pushes you while keeping the energy high and the vibes positive, Sakai’s Fast Twitch class is it!

I’ve seen searching for a gym with tons of squat racks,deadlift platforms, and glute machines. This place is heaven. I was so excited when I walked down to the lower level. I can get a good workout in even when it’s busy. The sauna is now available in the women’s locker room and always look forward to it after my workouts. I like how the people here are serious about their workouts. It’s next level fitness to keep you motivated and engaged.

I went to this gym for a few months and was happy at first, but had to switch gyms because they were doing construction and it made the gym completely useless and inaccessible at peak times with how many areas were limited and shut off as well as multiple machines sitting broken for extended times. Additionally, a lot of members are very selfish and inconsiderate, and will sit on machines for a long times on their phone, talking to people, or super setting between multiple machines and get angry if you ask to use whatever they are blocking everyone else from using. Lots of weird egos and entitlement at this gym when we’re all there trying to accomplish similar goals. The clientele is just not very easy to work around and with.

I really enjoyed fast twitch with both Dan who is one of the owners, Sakai, and Patrick, who made the wise decision to leave. However, Bradon, who also teaches fast twitch is someone I absolutely do not recommend for any women. He is constantly touching women in the class from the time they enter until the time they leave, and I repeatedly asked him to not touch me, which he either chose to ignore or did not hear me over how ridiculously loud he was playing the music. This has been noted in other reviews, and other employees are aware of this creepy behavior.

To make things even worse, freezing or canceling your membership is absolutely impossible here. They don’t allow you to do it on site at the gym, they instruct you to email people who absolutely refuse to answer any emails. I have emailed no less than five times over the past month and have still not gotten any response on canceling my membership. I Would not recommend this gym to anyone, there are much better options for a much better rate. Not to mention, if you don’t live nearby and can walk… Parking at PCM is always an absolute nightmare of course.

Hoping someone will see this and finally help me cancel my membership, this is a very repetitive complaint in reviews of this gym. Horrible way to do business. Simone, who is supposed to answer client emails has a reputation for refusing to do so based on what other employees have shared.

Car keyed in the parking area!

Just a warning about parking here. It’s not a very good idea unless you come very early in the morning for Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. I thought my car was safe with cameras everywhere but a random stranger keyed my car in the designated parking area. It was caught on camera but the security in charge said that they needed to protect the privacy rights of the person that did it, blatantly on camera driving up and getting out to key cars, and lied about it both to me and police about it not being on camera. Later when I could view the footage with police, they had removed the license plate and image of the person in the footage that they supplied so police said that they could do nothing and I was stuck paying for what ended up being a repair of several thousands of dollars. They solely put effort in protecting the vandal and preventing me from reimbursement for the damage.

Unfortunately the parking isn’t safe. It’s brutal due to very limited parking and tensions run when it’s busy. The trashy and sketchy people that come here think will go out of their way to damage your vehicle if it’s new or nice. Repair took two weeks and cost was over $3000. No one cared because I guess it happens so often.

Regarding WiFi: Bring downloaded music and noise-cancelling headphones because half of the gym is underground with zero WiFi service and zero cell signal. You need something to drown out the rap that is usually blasted at high volumes. The staff also has a tendency to set the temperature for their preference which is low 70s, not really caring that this is uncomfortably hot while working out and created humidity issues inside.

Love this gym so much! Only complaint is how loud the music is upstairs on the speaker. Most people want to listen to their own music and its hard to drown out the loud music on their speaker.

Good gym, wifi is TERRIBLE. They really need better wifi for how many people are there it’s really frustrating if you like to use your phone for music/podcasts to workout

Solid gym, use the sauna almost daily. Gym can get pretty crowded at times but still manageable.

Nice facility in a convenient location, but if you need reliable access to the core workout equipment area, look elsewhere. The classes will boot you out and it stinks not being able to do the workout you spent time planning when you come to the gym.
