Core Body Decatur

CORE Body is a fantastic gym. It's not too crowded, it's not smelly, the staff is friendly, and it has everything that you need -- plenty of cardio machines and free weights, a full class schedule, weight machines galore, and its clients are folks who are interested in working out -- not in what you are wearing. In addition to its fine equipment and cool staff, you can find the absolute best personal trainer in the metro Atlanta area -- LISA KEOWN. She's a real student of exercise science and personal training, and she knows more about nutrition and fitness than any other personal trainer I have ever met. Lisa's workouts are fun, challenging, and will totally whip you into shape. Her energy is infectious -- and I promise you -- if you will listen to Lisa and actually do what she tells you to do, you are guaranteed to look, feel, and be your best self. I can attest to this because LISA KEOWN changed my attitude about exercise and fitness, and in the process, helped me completely change my life.

Pros: Facilities are nice, plenty of equipment, friendly staff, and Lisa Keown (personal trainer)

I started at Core Body when I was 53 and have never felt intimidated or self-conscious. People come to this gym to work out and respect each other's space. There are a few show boats, but they just inspire the rest of us. The staff is very friendly and encouraging. I work out at the beginning of the day, so especially appreciate the 6:30 AM classes. Four years later, I continue to go most weekdays and continue to feel like it is money well spent. Because I work out on the way to my job, I especially appreciate the well stocked locker rooms, including shaving cream, deodorant , and really clean towels.

This isn't some mass-produced fitness facility! Corebody is personal, friendly and clean. The owner (one of the trainers) really makes sure the staff keeps the place clean. I always see them going around cleaning the equipment. The cardio theater is awesome! Spin classes and instructors fantastic. You'll love it!

Pros: Friendly, personal attention, nothing fancy...just what you need!

Cons: just a little more expensive than other gyms but worth it!

I have been a member since even before the gym shut down and was then taken over and renamed "Core Body". Its been a great experience, always clean and well kept, its pretty affordable for the convenience of using it since I live in Kirkwood. I highly recommend!!

Pros: Courteous staff, good equipment, clean

Cons: none that I have found.

I have belonged to a dozen fitness centers around the country because the nature of my job requires a lot of moves. This is absolutely the finest fitness center I have ever experienced. The staff are remarkably friendly and professional. The entire faciltiy is spotlessly clean. The machines and weights are modern, well kept and have enough varity for a balanced and diverse routine. It is definitily the "best kept secret" in Atlanta. There is always a good flow of people, but never over crowded. The people who go there are serious about a work out, but without a lot of "attitude." It really is a remarkable place. If you're looking for a great fitness center, at a decent price with great staff - this is it ! Obviously, I like the place, but it really has earned my admiration. Bob Macpherson

Pros: A great place

Cons: None!

Core is a jewel which is easily missed because it is not within eyesight of the motorists buzzing by. Unfortunately for them, but fortunate for those of us who know, this gym has a Premier Cardio Theater! Because the gym is still fairly new, the foot traffic isn't as high and it's a fabulous place to get in, work out, and get out!

Pros: machine availability, music, Environment
