Donnie and Lana are AMAZING. The gym is the cleanest and best cared for that you will ever see. The community is extremely welcoming for all levels from elite powerlifters to first timers. They also have amazing personal training. Well worth your money.
Donnie was very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a local gym. Thanks again!
I have been going to this gym for a year and a half. I’m glad I made the switch from the big box gyms! At this gym the owners make the difference. The gym is always clean and a culture of safety is always enforced. My favorite part about this gym is that there are plenty of combo racks so there is always a space to…
Man, I do not know where to even start about this gym. I love everything about it, from the owners, Donnie and his wife Lana, to the regulars who go there. This place is the epitome of gym culture. Everybody in there wants to see you win. Everyone there is so nice and helpful. Whatever you may need from the owners,…
What can I say other than best gym ever!! Wonderful environment, perfect place if you’re looking for a weightlifting/power lifting gym. Donnie & Lana have created a welcoming space for everyone that walks in the door. Donnie is a wonderful personal trainer as well, I’ve seen so much results in such a short time 😁

I have been going to this gym for a year and a half. I’m glad I made the switch from the big box gyms! At this gym the owners make the difference. The gym is always clean and a culture of safety is always enforced. My favorite part about this gym is that there are plenty of combo racks so there is always a space to squat or bench. Great culture amongst the gym goers as well. Rarely have to clean up after people or look for weights.

Everybody in there wants to see you win. Everyone there is so nice and helpful. Whatever you may need from the owners, they will help you out. And even the regulars will also help you out. The environment is honestly the best that I have personally been to, and I have been going to that gym for almost a year now. This is truly a gym you want to be at.

One of the best powerlifting gyms in GA! Very welcoming and has the best people and owners.
This is the best gym I have ever been to. Super friendly owner, keeps the place clean and is very welcoming. There is a ton of equipment to fill your needs for powerlifting or general strength training. The community is top notch and the place has a friendly atmosphere. The fact that it is 24 hours is very helpful as well. I use a Personal Trainer there and he is super helpful and helps me get through my routines. I cannot recommend this gym enough.
Easily the best gym in Georgia! Great people, and great environment! It's a home away from home!
Extremely Accomadating and Friendly gym environment for all needs and purposes! One of the greatest gyms I have ever been in.
In April, I was 24 years old, 245lbs, unhealthy, and unhappy. I was getting to the weight where my normal day to day activities like putting on my shoes was getting hard. I knew I needed to change before it was too late. I just didn’t know where to start, and I needed help and guidance. Fast forward today, it is July 5th, and I am currently around 210 lbs. Donnie at Steel Society is not just a personal trainer but he is a life coach. If sign up to do his personal training he keeps you accountable with your nutrition, makes sure you walk daily, and teaches you how to lift properly. You can ask him any question about food, goals, anything by just texting him.The most important thing is he truly cares and wants you to succeed. If you’re overweight or if you want to just learn to build muscle then he is the real deal, and the money spent was 1000% worth it. If you are someone who needs a gym home, and don’t really need personal training I still highly recommend Steel Society. It not super busy, and the culture is unmatched. People are super nice and helpful. The equipment is well kept and the gym is clean. Overall it just a dope place! So I’m excited to continue my fitness journey!
