Start with one day on the floor

The decision that gets people through the door at Brick House is smaller than a membership. It is one day. Full gym access, 5:00 AM to 8:00 PM, $25. No annual contract is listed on the pass.

Atlanta has no shortage of gyms asking for a year up front. A lot of those memberships get used twice. A day on Liddell Drive tells you more than a tour: the turf, the platforms, the lockers, and whether the room feels like a place you will actually come back to.

What you are walking into

Brick House Strength & Conditioning is at 2139 Liddell Drive NE. Monday through Friday the floor is open 5:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Saturday is 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Sunday is closed.

Open gym is the floor itself. Bring a session, or come in and work. Strength class sits on top of that on Tuesday and Thursday at 7:00 PM and Saturday at 9:00 AM. Boxing is its own afternoon block, weekdays 1:30 to 4:00 PM, and that drop-in is priced on its own at $30.

Who the day pass is for

It is for the first visit. It is for someone who trains somewhere else and wants one honest day before they switch. It is for a guest in the city who needs a real room, not a hotel gym.

If you have never trained in a room like this, start here anyway. You do not need a program written before you walk in. The floor is coached, and the front desk replies within 24 hours if you want a trainer matched to you.

After the day

If the day worked, the next step is already priced. Seven days is $35. Lunch hours, noon to 4:00 PM, are $30 a month. Open gym for the full published hours is $55 a month. Online training with a coach is $200 a month if you are not in the building.

Pay the day pass when you are ready to see the floor. The rest can wait until you have been here.
