UPDATE: I spoke with the folks at Fitness Factory. They hope to open the gym by the end of March in the Little Azio's plaza at Moreland and Ormewood. They knocked down a wall between two spaces to make a larger one. The staffer told me that they have had a lot of response and wonder if they will need more space immediately. Watch your back after tax season HR Block! I haven't had a chance to check on this, but there is a report in the Southern Voice that Fitness Factory is opening a second location which will be in East Atlanta. The gym is expected to open in mid-February. I'm surprised it took this long for someone to do this, considering many of the 'urban pioneers' that led to the resurgence in EAV starting in the 90's were GLBT and we know how our friends like to worship at 'LA' and other gyms on Sundays.

    Any idea where? I keep hearing "on Moreland" but I'm up and down Moreland every day and don't see any place for a gym ...

    I saw the space there this past weekend...just wondering about the parking situation though..as that lot is normally always crowded anyway without the gym.

    I personally wouldnt give them my business...the owner has yet to deliver on a single promise since he opened his doors. There have been a few controversial staff changes, and quite frankly, the morning staff is about as friendly as an anal wart...its worth the drive into Midtown for a better gym, trust me...
