ATC Fitness

What’s there not to like about this place??? I joined ATC, about 3 years ago, and recently I have started putting my membership to use. They offer two different membership options ($ 15 if going to only one location or $ 27 you can go to any ATC location). I have the $ 27 membership, gives me flexibility. This location is usually crowded, but they have more than enough equipment to accommodate all. I also like that they are open 24/7…rain, sleet, and snow… This is the largest ATC location I have visited.
Now here are the cons…
–do not offer any type of workout classes
–no pool
–annual membership fees

It’s 24-​hour fitness but if you need to consult with anybody to help with your program and you have to work to pay the dues, you’re really out of luck here. They start taking appointments at 9am and stop at 7pm. Sounds like ok hours unless you work downtown til 6 and get home and 6:30 still needing to change clothes. They have no care for your schedule.
I’ve been a member for over a year now and rarely went in. That was foolishness on my part and I should have canceled long ago. But I told them I was considering canceling after not being able to make two 7pm appointments and they don’t seem at all phased that a customer is unsatisfied — and a REALLY low maintenance customer at that since I’ve rarely visited. To cancel membership, you have to email a billing company so it’s not as easy as it is to sign up and I can’t wait to see the red tape that comes of that.
I can’t speak for others but I’ll find a gym that values me as a customer and understands that I have to work to pay their dues and schedules appropriately for people who work. Oh, they don’t take appointments Friday thru Sunday if you’re thinking of weekends. Yeah I’m a need to the gym and I want a little coaching but I just don’t think that’s too much to ask when you get $ 15 a month for a quick service. 2 stars for having great equipment. Minus a star for being full at the hours when I can go and minus two more stars for uncaring, poorly scheduled customer service.

This place has became my usual spot for workout, equipment is upgraded, tanning beds, and clean showers. $ 15 a month with no commitment is not bad price to pay for good healthy life. trainer are right there to help with whatever questions u may have. enjoy and have great workout sprit.

Always clean and they have solid equipment that is well maintained. This location is very spacious and preferred over their Cordova location.
I prefer a gym with classes but for the price and being open. ²⁴⁄₇ it’s worth having as a backup membership.

Customer service/​staff: Awesome! Didn’t try too hard to push me into a «membership» (you can do month-​to-​month here for $ 15). Was greeted warmly by both members of the staff upon arriving.
Facility: VERY clean on the inside. Equipment looked like it was up to date/​maintained.
Planning on working off food/​drinks I talk about on here from now on.

Note: I know nothing about gyms or fitness, I won’t go into too much detail about the quality of the gym as I lack the experience to judge certain aspects.
With that in mind, this gym is very friendly for beginners. At the moment, the monthly fee is $ 15 per month, which is a fantastic rate. Of course there are some startup fees that amount to around $ 100 for your first month. This includes a one time processing fee of $ 49 and a yearly fee of $ 29.90. This can also be upgraded to $ 25 per month to include access to all ATC gyms and includes free tanning.
What is most impressive to me is the ‘Smart Start Training’ that is included with your membership at no extra cost. That is the deal maker for me.
As far as I can tell, the gym looks pretty nice. The machines and free weights seem to be in very good condition. There is a healthy mix of people. Everything is very clean, which surprised me, I expected everything to smell like body sweat, but it is actually quite pleasant inside the gym.
This is a family owned establishment that has been in business in Memphis for a long time. I recommend this gym for beginners like me.
If I end up using this gym and becoming more familiar with it, I will review again within a year.

Upgrading ATC to four stars. I’ve started using their «Smart Start» training program, and I’m hooked. It’s basically a weight training guide for beginners, which is exactly what I needed. Rosemary, my trainer who set me up with all the info, is great.
I’m going on close to three weeks of the training and I feel awesome. I have always lifted weights without a plan, sort of just wandering around the machines. Now I have guidance, and it’s really starting to show. ATC has the resources you need, you just have to ask! It’s very easy to just go in there and do your own thing, but if you need guidance or have questions, the staff knows what they’re talking about.

I have been thinking about joining a gym for some time. After asking some people and looking online, I still hadn’t decided. Then I saw their TV ad for $ 15 a month, no commitment. This sounded like a great deal, so I signed up.
I am very impressed at what my $ 15 per month is getting me. I’ve been at both busy and not-​so-​busy times, and have never had trouble finding a machine to work out on. The place is also very clean. People seem to do a good job of cleaning up after themselves, and even the locker rooms are kept pretty neat.
The biggest surprise for me was that for $ 15 a month, the place even has little private showers you can use after you work out. I assumed that $ 15, no commitment would deliver little more than a minimalist gym with next to no facilities.
So far, I’ve been really impressed with the experience with ATC. Hopefully I can keep myself disciplined enough to keep going!
