The Hidden Gym was discovered after realizing a real shortcoming in the Atlanta fitness market. While many trainers claimed that they were committed to customer results, in reality, very few actually delivered. We Combined our love of personal fitness with a desire to serve our community, and deliver an unequaled experience in an effort to move our Clients and our Community FORWARD. At the Hidden Gym we offer Group/Personal Training, Weight-loss, Fitness Competitions, Speed & Agility Training, Sports Performance, Prehab & Rehab for the General Population and so much more.
Our goal at The Hidden Gym is to encourage members to cultivate the habit of regularly exercising and staying healthy via the services we provide, so that it’s a sustainable healthy lifestyle. As a family-owned business, we pride ourselves in being able to tailor individual goals for our clients since their needs are all different!
