Family Life Center

I belonged for over a year and liked the facilities, but if swimming is your thing, this is not your place. Between swim team practice and kiddie swimming lessons, the pool is frequently a scream-​fest of squealing children or filled with the sounds of yelling coaches. Not a relaxing envoirnment.
On the Plus Side, they have an indoor track, steam room, and a sauna. On the Minus Side, aside from the unpleasant envoirnment in the pool, the management does not keep up with maintenance issues. One stall in the men’s locker room was missing the door when I joined. It was still missing when I quit, and I had mentioned it numerous times to management.
They closed the men’s locker room for over a month for a re-​model, and did a prettty nice job, but even when asked, they did not offer a credit for the 4 – 5 weeks that I could not use the club. It aslo took them several months to finally remove the buckets of paint and other materials left over from the re-​model, as well as a door that was leaning up against the wall, apparently un-​needed. I mentioned it to them one day and they were totally suprised. They took care of it within a couple of days, but it amazed me that apparently no one from the management team ever actually looks around the facility. I guess they expect the members to do the maintenance inspections for them.
There seem to be a lot of non-​members who are allowed in by friends on the staff. A real security issue, not to mention that it’s pretty annoying to pay to use the club when others are not paying.
If you don’t plan to use the pool, it’s really a pretty nice place, but a good management team could make it a great place.
I moved my membership down the street to another club. It costs a bit more, but they do not have screaming kids in the pool.

A great hidden gym in Buckhead. I started going to this gym as a kid when it first opened in 1990, but finally got my own membership right after college. One of my favorite things about FLC is that you don’t have to deal with muscle heads and bimbos only there to flaunt themselves to each other. Every member is there for a reason: to get fit. I like being able to go in, get in a good workout and head home knowing I made myself a little bit stronger.
I love taking advantage of some of the group fitness classes. Water aerobics is great, especially in the summer, but my favorite is Zumba. You don’t need to be the best dancer in the world, but keep moving and sweating, and you’ll get the steps. I also vary my routine by doing some strength training. The weight room is never at full capacity so it’s easy to take your time and not rush through your routine.
The pool can be overrun with munchkins in the summer, so be prepared if you find out the pool is closed due to a kid’s «accident». Also keep in mind there are various water aerobics classes scheduled each week. During these times, the pool is only open to water aerobics attendees and lap lane swimmers.
Happy exercising!

Awesome. Best bargain in town.
But probably not for you … so please just stay away from here :-)
Staff in nice… Gym, Pool are great. Weight room and indoor track. For the $ it can’t be beat. But again… you probably won’t like it, so don’t bother joining:-)
