About Total Training Center
Total Training Center is a locally owned gym in the Normaltown neighborhood of Athens, GA, founded in 1996 at 750 North Chase Street. The gym started in a small 800 square foot basement with just 11 members and has grown into a community focused fitness space that still maintains the neighborhood feel. Their philosophy is simple: be "a neighborhood spot, a local gym in Athens GA where everyone knows your name" rather than a large corporate facility. Programs include personal training (customized one on one sessions), small group training and bootcamps combining strength training, balance drills, cardio, HIIT, and partnered workout elements, and gym membership with 24/7 facility access. Group classes meet Sundays at 9:30 AM and Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5:30 PM, with the first class free. The perfect 5.0 star rating across 43 reviews reflects the personal attention that trainers provide, with individualized correction and a judgment free environment that welcomes both beginners and experienced athletes. Total Training Center emphasizes sustainable lifestyle changes over short term results, which is why members stay for years rather than cycling through New Year's resolution phases. For Athens, GA residents in the Normaltown area who want a gym that actually knows their name, Total Training Center has been delivering that experience since 1996. Call (706) 202-6816.

Total Training Center is awesome. It's not that big, but has about every piece of equipment you could ask for. Everyone is very friendly, and the trainers are all-stars. I've seen them work with people trying to come back from an injury, older folks trying to stay fit and mobile, kids trying to amp their sports performance, folks losing weight, folks just trying to stay fit, and folks trying to get yoked. Thomas in particular has been incredible to train with, but I would work with anyone. The owner, Dani, cares a lot about making sure folks have a great gym experience. Definitely worth checking out if you are looking for a gym!!

I've been a member at Total Training for almost 17 years. The relatively small size of the facility is one of the things I love. It's easy to get in and out of quickly while still having all of the equipment needed for cardio and strength training. However, the community is what's kept me coming back for years. Dani and the other trainers are welcoming and knowledgeable and the members are friendly. It's the perfect gym for someone who has been working out for years or is looking to get in shape for the first time. Can't say enough positive things about the people and the place!

I am not sure that I would go to a traditional gym but Total Training feels more like a friendly club where people happen to be working out. I have been a member for around 15 years and cannot imagine Athens without this place. Dani and Angela are amazing trainers and create a super supportive environment as well as challenge folks to develop better habits. This is not a quick fix trendy kind of gym but somewhere you can learn to live and sustain a healthier lifestyle.
