Don't Sweat It: Name the Best Workout Spot

In the second of Cartersville Patch's Readers' Choice polls, we're focusing on the places that help us stay healthy, get in shape or tone our muscles.

 

We're following up last week's readers' choice offering of the best Mexican food in town with a workout!

Forget about chips and salsa, and turn your attention to exercise, health and fitness. You won't have to pump any iron to vote in this week's poll, so jump in and tell Patch about the best place to work out in Cartersville.

Here are the workout spots listed in our free business directory, but if we left your choice off the list, let us know in the comments, and we'll add it:

Cast a click for your favorite in the poll below; voting is open until 9 a.m. Friday. Because the poll is not scientific, it's not our sole consideration in choosing a winner.

The winner will be determined by Cartersville Patch editor Brande Poulnot based on poll results, reviews of the establishments in our Patch Places business directory and the number of positive comments below. Click on a gym or club listed above to give it a rating of one to five stars and to leave your review.

We'll announce the workout winner at noon Friday.

As you tell us about your favorite place to work out, upload relevant videos and photos by clicking "Upload Photos and Videos."

Don't forget to vote for nearby places to work out in the polls on some of our sister sites:

We just ask that you limit yourself to one vote per day per Patch.

Next week, we'll ask you to pick the best place to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.

I would, hands down, choose Maximum Body Training in downtown Cartersville. Beth (trainer/owner) is so good at pushing me (and all the others that go there) to places we never dreamed possible!! She teaches us proper form for all the kettlebell movements and bodyweight exercises that we do. She knows each individual's needs and modifies workouts to fit each and every person there... young/old, fit/trying to get fit, all shapes/sizes, etc. Best place in town!!!

I have been a member to many different gyms over the years, looking for that ultimate workout experience. After joining CAIR FITNESS, I know my search is over. The staff and instructors are so friendly and helpful. The members themselves are welcoming and kind. Don't forget the real reason we go..for that max-workout! The fitness classes will push you to a whole new level. Fitness novice or seasoned gym pro would absolutely love this gym!

Fitness is a journey for life. Body Plex offers Les Mills programs and other programs for ALL fitness levels. The instructors are motivating and helpful with your journey. ANY workout is a great one if you put your best into it. It helps to have a nice, clean facility, with a daycare for moms and lots of classes available as well. They also have cardio machines and of course everything you need for weight training. Personal trainers if you need them as well. I have belonged to many gyms throughout my life and Body Plex offers the best classes and I love my classes. GO BODY PLEX....WOOT-WOOT!!!!

Crossfit Adrenaline by far. After trying numerous other gyms in the area, I walked into our box and was immediately hooked. Our coaches focus on functional fitness and I've learned more about the science of working out in the last year than any other place to include 12 Active Duty years with the Army. Simply the best place in town (quite possibly North Georgia) to improve your fitness goals and develop yourself.

I've been a member of BodyPlex and Anytime. I perfered Anytime just because I could use any of their facilites all over the country. Once my income got reduced I invested in P90X and it works great.
