I have been a member of Blast for while now and love everything about this place. The staff, trainers, owners and even fellow blast members are so welcoming. If you are looking for a different, yet challenging workout that will definitely get you the results that you need and want,this is best place to come.The location is perfect and parking is easy to find in the area. The environment during classes are so fun filled and the music will definitely get you pumped every time you go. I truly love the fact that I will never do the same thing twice which makes me look forward to every single class that I go to. I am in the military and this gym helps me maintain and elevate my physical fitness level so that I remain in compliance during my fitness tests. I love this place and would 10 out of 10 recommend to anyone looking for a great place to come and work out.

I have been a member at Blast for about 2 years, but was going to Blast off of ClassPass for the last 3 years. I caught myself repeatedly going to Blast so ended up getting an unlimited membership. It has been a great move on my part. I have noticed a positive difference in my endurance and body image. In addition, they have Midtown and Buckhead locations that offer class times before and after work. Their clean amenities allow me to shower and get ready in the morning before heading to work.Each instructor has great playlists, good enthusiasm, and provides alternatives to each exercise based on your ability. The environment is very welcoming. They know me and many of the other individuals by name, which makes it great community and homey.I always look forward to the workouts, because there is always new music and the workout is always different. I dont believe I have ever done the same workout in the last 3 years. It keeps it exciting and makes me show up to work on whatever is instructed.I highly recommend this gym/workout if you are interested in a great community of instructors and members, looking for a great workout each and every class, and great class times and amenities.

Started going to Blast in beginning of December... Have done 11 classes already. Looking forward to more next year!I have never been a fan of group workouts but they treat you well and everyone wants to improve. They also give you different Levels of intensity which is great ...This place is safe and inclusive environment! Happy to support a local business, too

I absolutely love going to Blast Midtown!! The entire staff, the equipment, and the studio itself is so superior to the rest of the gyms I have tried, especially during COVID. They have done such a great job making it feel incredibly safe while not detracting from the experience at all. Forever grateful for Missy and her entire team!

The staff at Blast Midtown have gone out of their way to provide a challenging safe workout during this crazy time! You dont share any equipment and each station is set up for you prior to class with someone to provide additional equipment if needed. So friendly, professional and killer workout! Thank you Blast for keeping us fit safely!!

I have been a member of Blast for the past 2 years. Missi the owner & her team are incredible. The level of service I receive there is top notch. Whenever I have an question via email it is often responded to within minutes. The instructors are energetic & fun and truly make working out something to look forward to! Even if an exercise is challenging you are always shown modifications. From an electronic perspective there is a great app which can be used for scheduling & tracking progress. Personally I have lost 20 pounds as of late and Blast has been a big part of that. Its not been easy to run any certain of gym/fitness facility during Covid however Missy takes precautions & I feel safe going there. I highly recommend Blast Midtown.

I started coming to BLAST 4-5 years ago as I really struggled to work out at a gym by myself and was looking for a better alternative. I started as a ClassPass member so i could try out a few different gyms, but found out that I enjoyed BLAST the most amongst the fitness options in Midtown and Highlands. The classes are extremely fast paced but cater to all different fitness levels, so everyone will feel comfortable during the class. The instructors are great, and they do a great job motivating everyone during class. Over the last year they have done an amazing job making everyone feel safe and keeping the studio clean between classes.But most importantly, the work outs are AMAZING and you feel great afterwards. Each class is a total of 30 minutes on the treadmill doing speed and hills, and then 30 minutes doing various exercises on the floor with different equipment almost every class. Youll shift from the treadmill to the floor in blocks of 5 to 10 minutes, so the classes go by super fast. You will not be disappointed with your work out!

I absolutely loved working out at BLAST. The gym is clean and has great equipment, the classes are so much fun and challenging, but the best part is the people! The instructors are awesome and so friendly, and Missi is available via text whenever you have questions. This place became a part of my daily routine. I will miss it!

I have been going to Blast for 10 years. I get the cardio, the weights, and the core strengthening- and in all of these years, each and every class has been different than the previous class. They are always changing it up and getting creative! I love all of the instructors, and love both Buckhead and Midtown locations. I’m so thankful to have Blast in my life. Here’s to a decade of staying in shape and feeling good!

Blast is the best gym in Atlanta, hands down. If you want to have a great workout, see results, and learn about your body and fitness then this is truly the best place for you. I found Blast through ClassPass and went to a ton of different gyms in the area, but this one blew them all out of the water. Ive been going to Blast now for over 3 years and the quality of the workout and instructors has been outstanding the entire time.Covid was hard on everyone, and I can say that the lengths that Blast went to providing a great workout even during the lockdowns saved my sanity in 2020. There were new virtual workouts multiple times a day, which are still available to use now! Ive been going back into the gym since July and I can tell you that they take the pandemic very seriously. I feel very safe at this gym. I know that Blast really cares about their customers and their staff and do everything they can to create a safe and healthy environment.TLDR .. Go to Blast!! The only regret youll have is that you didnt go earlier.

CANNOT say enough great things about this gym. I love being a member. Everyone on the team is so friendly and they all make it a point learn your name, your goals, and will genuinely push you to be your best every sixty minutes you share with them. The energy levels and the positive attitudes are so present as soon as you walk into a blast studio, you can’t help but conform to the good vibes. This is a gym that definitely gives you back what you put into it. The trainers do a great job incorporating their own personal coaching style, which makes each experience different than the last. If you want a gym that will push you to do your best, in a judgement-free and friendly atmosphere, while having fun and meeting some pretty great people.. Blast is for you!

Love Blast! I started going almost a year ago, and Blast has become such a big part of my life ever since. The coaches are so encouraging, and the environment pushes you to your best in a healthy, positive way. I go four-to-five times a week and have seen my body gain significant strength and endurance the past few months. Cant say enough good things about this studio and its wonderful team!

Love, love love BLAST and highly recommend. The metabolic profile changed the game for me - allowing me to target my workouts for high and low intensity so that I can consistently, safely and effectively workout 5-6 days a week. I feel strong and healthy but am not beating up my body. The trainers give you options for all fitness levels.

My wife and I have been Blasting off for about 2 years now. They have a great team (staff and coaches), clean studio and it’s excellent calorie burn workout. Convenient location in midtown as well. For those of you lifters like I am, this workout really compliments alternating lift days with cardio. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a challenging, productive and satisfying workout.

BLAST midtown has become my most favorite place to workout! I love that it has cardio + ALL BODY workout —and no workouts are the same so you never get bored. I’ve noticed a huge difference in my strength & body since I’ve been consistently taking BLAST classes.The instructors are very knowledgeable on form so I know I won’t get hurt. I also really love the positive friendly community -makes working out so much more enjoyable.

BLAST is by far my favorite workout / class. It’s Amazing!!!I have done Orange Theory and tried a lot of classes through Class Pass and have switched to BLAST full time. It’s as close as you can get to having a personal training type workout in a class setting. One workout is never like another so it’s never boring and keeps your body guessing.Its fast paced and the time flies by.All the instructors are great, super helpful and positive. It has kept me motivated and focused for the past six months and I’m seeing results. I feel stronger and more toned.The weight training and cardio together make me feel like I’m getting everything in in an hour as well.Another huge plus with BLAST is that no matter where your are in terms of being in shape it’s a workout you can do. It’s challenging at all levels. Some days I have the energy to run and other days walking is what I’m able to do. No matter how I’m feeling going into a workout I always leave thinking I got a great workout doing a BLAST class!

BLAST is by far the best workout you will find in Atlanta. Each class is unique and each instructor motivates you differently to reach your health goals. The staff truly cares about you and your experience during the hour you are at blast. If you are looking for a class that will push you to becoming the best, healthiest, happiest version of you, this place is for you!

Best workout, best staff, and coolest people in Atlanta hands down! BLAST has become my family and it’s worth every penny (and has better deals than any other studio in Atlanta). There’s never a dull or boring workout and everyday is different. They’re doing something right👌🏻

Blast is the BEST workout Ive ever done! I love the full body training and creative flow each day. The workout is AMAZING, but even better is the community. I love how Blast instructors are so knowledgeable and helpful in getting a safe workout with results! I highly recommend Blast to everyone!

A friend introduced me to Blast about 10 years ago and Ive been addicted ever since. This is the only workout Ive found that continues to challenge me and my body. Ive yet to get used to a class - they are always a challenge. And, I can absolutely see the results. For me that means maintaining a healthy weight while gaining muscle/toned physique. Its also the best way for me to burn stress at the end of a hectic workday. While I started at the original Buckhead location, Ive been coming to the Midtown location since the studio opened. The facilities are clean and well maintained, the front desk team is always friendly and helpful, and the instructors are amazing. They somehow keep classes fun and challenging, and (super important for me) they also keep an eye on you for proper form and quietly help you out if needed. I love this place.

At first, I was intimidated to try Blast since Id heard it was a really intense workout. But, they make sure you feel absolutely welcome from start to finish and accommodate any moves to your skill level, which helped ease my initial intimidations. Now Ive been a regular for over two years. Every single class is different and works every inch of your body. My one wish is that they provided more incentives for regular clients to keep coming back instead of just offering promos for new clients.

I no longer can exercise anywhere else. My results are double-fold every day with the Interval training program at Blast. The instructors are absolutely fantastic, the best and the variety every day makes this an incredible work out. Assistants on the floor help with customizing your needs. Cannot recommend this more strongly

BLAST Midtown is by far my favorite gym Ive ever been a member of! Ive spent 20 years consistently working out at various gyms and with varying routines, and this is the gym that got me in the best shape of my life and literally blasted away the last 10lbs Ive always struggled to get off! I took the metabolic profile which told me how much/how intense my workouts should be to reach my goals and each class has a different routine of cardio/full body workout so I never get bored. The facility is clean, I enjoy the simple perks that include a clean towel during class, a room attendant who fills up your water bottle and puts the equipment away afterwards for me. After 2 years as a member, I still look forward to going to classes at BLAST!

I started going to Blast when I was a member of Classpass and immediately was hooked. I quickly got into the best shape of my life before my wedding--due mostly to a customized workout routine based on MY data and information from the personal assessment and anaerobic threshold testing. I have learned so much about my body and overall health, and know now that its not always about working harder, necessarily, but doing the right type of workouts throughout the week to challenge my body and avoid plateaus.I am now 8 months pregnant and have been able to stay consistent with my Blast workouts throughout my pregnancy. The staff has been so incredibly supportive and assisted in customizing my workouts even further to ensure I am staying safe and healthy.I cant say enough good things about Blast and the Blast family! :)

Very good workout! Jasmine the front desk girl was super helpful and answered all my questions. The facilities are clean and well stocked with everything you need you honestly dont need a gym bag unless you are changing clothes to go to work. During the class they have another assistant trainer to help correct your form and motivate you. I will definitely be going back!!!

I previously was a member at Blast for almost two years with no problems, but during the COVID-19 pandemic, everything changed. Blast did not show me the same courtesy as members of other gyms like Orange Theory and LA Fitness received. Unlike those gyms, and many others, that froze payments or offered reduced membership suspension costs, Blast charged me my full monthly membership fee--which is already quite high--even though their gyms have remained closed since March. When I reached out to dispute the charge on several occasions, they denied a refund and cancelled my membership.Before this terrible experience, I had every intention of returning to Blast, but due to their unprofessional and unethical behavior towards me, I will not be returning to their gyms.

I love Blast! It’s so challenging, even as I get more fit. With 2 trainers in the room at all times, I know someone will correct my form or even re-fill my water bottle. Not only is it a challenging workout though, it’s fun.

I used to be a serial Classpass-er until finding and committing to BLAST- I cant recommend this studio enough! Having lived in both LA and NYC, I feel like Ive tried basically every boutique fitness studio and BLAST is absolutely one of my all time favorites.The entire staff is welcoming, incredibly knowledgable, and so supportive. Ive been taking class at the studio off and on for the past few years and have always found the workouts to be challenging and effective while still accessible to all fitness levels. I love that I can walk away from the class knowing that I got an amazing workout that covered both cardio and strength training.Im going into my 8th month of pregnancy and have been consistently BLASTing since month three. Every teacher has been so attentive (helping me to make appropriate modifications, etc) and the workouts have undoubtedly made my pregnancy easier. Im looking forward to finally utilizing their unique profile program to help maximize my workout results post-baby!If youre looking for an incredible workout that will give you amazing results (without the intimidation factor found at other studios) you MUST check out BLAST.

BEWARE!I have been a loyal customer of Blast Midtown for a couple years now but that all changed recently. After a long week, I was really looking forward to the 5:15PM class but was turned away at the door as I arrived at exactly 5:17PM. Unfortunately, the recent football traffic slowed me but I made sure to make a courtesy call to the let the staff know of this minor delay. But turning me away was not enough for Cornelius and his staff. Instead they were unnecessarily rude and unaccommodating while making me feel incredibly uncomfortable. I say all this to let you know not to waste 2 years of your time and money with a location that does not care about its customers. Save yourself the headache and embarrassment.

I called this morning at 10am to cancel my spot for the 11:15am class, due to an injury I sustained this morning preventing me from walking or running without pain. The receptionist said there would be a cancellation charge. I asked if the class was full and she said no. So I asked why I would be charged for if I wasnt taking a spot away from another participant, she replied with thats just our policy. This is a ridiculous policy, especially since I am paying an exorbitant price to be a part of this fitness center. There was no business lost by my cancelling so why should I be forced to pay a fee? This will really make me think twice before buying another class package with this company.

Review №39

I love how the staff at BLAST does all the thinking for me, with scientifically-based workouts designed to maximize my personal overall output, while allowing me to gauge the intensity level thats best for me. The dynamism of each class keeps me pushing far beyond where I would get in a workout by myself, even in the lowest BLAST threshold. They give great instruction on form and moving back and forth from cardio to resitance and strength training keeps me engaged throughout the full hour.

First and foremost... you may want to brace yourself because this is going to be a looooong review but TOTALLY worth the details.So lets start with the good stuff... PROS!Facilities: The gym is in a stellar location, it is extremely well kept. Both the interior as well as the exterior are ALWAYS clean. I see the assistants cleaning the equipment as I am on my way out which totally puts my mind at ease. The bathrooms?? AMAAAAZINGGGG. It is fully stocked with towels, hair spray, blow dryers, flat irons, lotions, shampoo, body wash, conditioner, pretty much the whole kitchen sink. This was a huge bonus for me because I go to work immediately after so to not have to carry all that extra stuff around is absolute perfection.Staff: Everyone here is so damn nice!!!! I even got a holiday card with a coupon in it! The front desk people are ALWAYS pleasant, the assistants who help the trainers during your workout are ALWAYS on point. They even know my name which makes me feel all special. I love how they really pay attention and they refill my water bottle, get me lighter weights when they see I am having trouble, and lower place my treadmill at the proper incline all without me even having to ask. And when it comes to the assistant Caleb, double bonus because he is fine as hell. Who doesnt want to get their water refilled or be greeted by some nice eye candy?Trainers: Absolutely A M A Z I N G. I have not had every single trainer that BLAST has to offer, but I can definitely vouch for the trainers I have had.Justyn: My motivation. Just a fine tall light skinned Adonis, looking like a venti caramel frapp! But on a serious note, he is a good trainer, his choice of music keeps me pumped, he is motivating but does not want you to over exert yourself which is awesome.Joel: F I I I N N N E E E as I dont know what. I heard he teaches class with his shirt off but I he definitely had one on when I took his class lol. He is my second favorite trainer. One thing I love about him in particular is that he sooooo full of energy and life! He literally is jumping around, pumping the class up, and he actually does the floor work WITH you as well as counts, instead of just showing the quick demonstration which is very beneficial. Grrrreat music choice as well.Sarah: My absolute favorite trainer. She calls me by my name which makes me feel like an actual someone, and she is NOT afraid to come over and correct your form, as well as tell you how great of a job you are doing. She also adds a bit of banter in her class and is extremely personable so you actually connect with her a bit during the workout. I also found I do the best in her classes because she always says to just push yourself a little bit further which results in me going a little bit faster on the treadmill or getting just a few more reps in on the floor.With that being said, now for the CONS.Scheduling: This is probably my only issue with BLAST. They have changed the schedule twice in the last 2 months. So first when I came, the times for classes was different everyday which was extremely inconvenient, then they changed it to where it was cohesive from day to day, and the 9a class fit absolutely perfect with my schedule; it had the trainers I wanted and gave me enough time to still get to work on time afterwards. Now, they are moving it to a 9 30 class, which is a major inconvenience to me and I am sure to others as well. They do give you a heads up in advance, but I wish they would like send out and email or take a survey or something to see what is best.In conclusion, I think BLAST is an awesome gym and I am NOT a gym person. Here I do not feel intimidated or rushed or like just another number. It is a very friendly and intimate experience, and an awesome workout. I am seeing and feeling changes that I never thought I could thanks to BLAST. Sign up!
