About
Cold Plunge & Sauna
The Dothan Athletic Club includes traditional sauna access in its All-In membership plan. However, a significant and recurring point of frustration for gym members is the extended, unresolved closure of the steam room. Multiple members report this amenity has been broken for months with no clear timeline for repair. Some members feel this constitutes a breach of contract, particularly for those who signed up specifically for steam room access. The gym's owner has been noted in discussions regarding the repair, which members indicate requires significant funding.
Atmosphere
The facility is noted for its exceptionally clean and well-maintained environment. Members describe the locker rooms as spa-like and beautiful, with specific praise for the private and well-appointed women's locker room. The gym is often described as never being crowded, allowing for unimpeded access to equipment without long waits. A strong sense of community is mentioned, with members describing the gym as a big family that helps keep each other accountable.
Staff
Feedback on staff is mixed. Many members find the staff to be very friendly and note that they clean the facility diligently every day. Specific instructors receive high praise, such as Snelly for his amazing and encouraging Pilates classes, which members credit for pain relief and progress. However, other interactions, particularly regarding contract management and daycare communications, are cited as unprofessional.
Additional Amenities
The gym features a wide array of equipment, including amazing machines not commonly found elsewhere and a good range of dumbbells up to 125lbs. There is a good cardio section located upstairs. For convenience, the gym offers pre-bottled pre-workout in a fridge and a variety of protein or energy snacks for purchase at the front. The facility also provides daycare services, though its capacity is limited and has been a point of contention for some visitors.
