With so many fitness options to choose from in Atlanta, one of the biggest assets for a new gym can be a convenient location. Why face Atlanta traffic for an hour just to get an hour of cardio and turn back around?These four gyms are just a few of the many trendy studios bringing cycling, strength training, yoga and more to residents of Dekalb County.
1705 Mount Vernon Road, Dunwoody. 404-860-1712.
One of Atlanta's most beloved yoga studios, Infinity Yoga finds its roots in Dekalb county with its flagship location in Brookhaven, but it wasn't long before founder Becky Nickerson expanded into Dunwoody, the suburb where she grew up. While Infinity recently opened a third studio in Old Fourth Ward, it's easy to see why the community at these two locations has given the company a need for expansion: whether it's a beginner class, a heated flow or an hour of instruction geared towards runners, each class is a welcoming reminder of how yoga can be an essential part of any routine.
3550 Broad St., Chamblee. 770-695-0663.
Jump straight in to a healthier lifestyle at this Chamblee studio, which is known for its strength training classes and butt-kicking cardio workouts. Each trainer is committed to helping students reach their individual goals, whether that means burning fat, building muscle, or just seeking a more well-rounded and healthy life. Classes vary from circuit training to Olympic weight lifting and strength training that focuses on particular areas of the body.
3575 Durden Drive NE #202, Brookhaven. 770-837-0051.
BURN Studios specializes in three kinds of classes: cycling, yoga and kickboxing. Their clean and spacious Brookhaven studio makes every visit feel like a treat, but it's the competitive element that keeps people coming back. Attendees can compete with classmates on the leaderboard in cycling or compete with themselves measuring heartrate at yoga or kickboxing, with enouraging, upbeat instructors guiding the way. (The aromatherapeudic cold towels at the end of each class certainly don't hurt the experience, either.)
4794 Ashford Dunwoody Road, Dunwoody. 770-580-4989.
With indoor cycling taking off in a big way all over the country, it's no surprise that another studio would open to capitalize on those seeking a good sweat and a great soundtrack. Enter CycleBar, a new option on Ashford Dunwoody, which offers commitment-free class packages and a fun, inviting atmosphere to burn calories and build endurance. An impressive array of amenities makes this cycling studio an optimum spot for those stopping in on the way to or from work, and with charity rides and theme classes, health-minded local residents are sure to find a reason to ride soon.
