shout out to fellow Atlantans! I used to go to the East lake YMCA but that place is always packed and doesnt have enough equipment. This summer since im out of college i decided to try Atlanta Medical Center’s Gym.
Its right at the intersection of Freedom parkway and boulevard. Its not the best well endowed gym, but the free weight room is a dungeon like room, usually i have the place to myself and it has a sound system you can change yourself or put in your own cds.
Granted the cables are upstairs which is annoying for supersets, but its got two squat racks, a couple benches and dumbells up to 100 i beleive.
If your a student like me they have very good rates, 30 a month or 25 a month if you sign up for a semester block.
the aforementioned Lee Haneys gym was in the East lake police station on ponce, but its been closed since(i tried to sign up there) and that building is going to be turned into more yuppie lofts.
Atlanta doesnt have much hardcore lifting. Its full of health spas, or gyms with smoothie bars or huge gay gyms (anything in Midtown. especially avoid the la fitness in ansley mall)
