This review is for the overall impressions of this gym. Definitely a 5-stars Equipment wise and the size of the gym. I love how open and spacious the weight floor and the turf! Even when the gym is busy and the parking lot is overflowing, it never feels crowded inside the gym.
STRIKE STUDIO: FIVE STARS!!!! LOVE IT!!! All the coaches are super knowledgeable and friendly. It feels like a family when you go in there and taking any of the offered classes. Each Coach brings something special; I love Kaedy’s energy, music and creativity— no class is ever the same! Tay — love his conditioning class and doing mitt work with him! Omar and Jakar—- their kickboxing classes are something everyone needs to at least try.
The BAD: I have to take a star off due to cleanlines and maintenance. The Strike Studio had a roof leak that got so bad the ceiling came down. And only then it was fixed. Then the Revovery room specifically the tanning room and red lights rooms are nasty, the floor is dirty and lots of dusts and hairball. And Why not provide trash can inside of each room?? And this gym is not even a year old. As big as this gym is, they need someone to constantly clean and keeping up with maintencae all day long not just once or twice.

If you're looking to take your fitness and boxing skills to the next level at OneLife Fitness in Hamilton Mill, you need to work with Coach Tay. I’ve had the opportunity to take his Strike classes as well as work with him in 1-on-1 boxing sessions, and this man is phenomenal.
His attention to detail, punctuality, and pure dedication to his craft really set him apart. Whether you're in a group class or working targeted mitts 1-on-1, Tay ensures your form, technique, and footwork are on point while keeping the energy high and push constant. He brings a level of professionalism and passion that makes every single session worth it. Highly recommend booking with Tay if you want real results and top-tier coaching!

I’ve been a member at OneLife since they opened, and overall, I’ve truly enjoyed my experience. The front desk staff are always extremely welcoming and kind. And even Jennifer. I haven’t trained with her a day in my life nor had a long conversation, however, since the beginning-she has always had a contagious smile and energy about herself that makes you love her and want to know who she is! The amenities are great, and I’ve really enjoyed the variety of classes offered. I haven’t tried all of the classes, but my favorites have been BodyPump, yoga/yogalates, Spin, and especially Burn on the Turf with Deeno. His class had an incredible energy—it was challenging, high-energy, unique and he was always encouraging, motivating and would brighten up everyone’s day with his vibrant spirit. It was genuinely one of the classes I looked forward to attending regularly.
That said, there are a few things that have been disappointing.
First, the parking situation can be ridiculous, especially during busy times. I’ve honestly started wondering if some of the dirt/grass areas could potentially be utilized as overflow parking.
Second, I don’t understand why they won’t change the water filters or consistently have towels available for use. At my home, the filters costs about $30 MAX for a pack of two. Mind you, this is way less than one individual pays for their membership.
I also recently signed up for one of the personal training promotions. Unfortunately, my trainer was late or canceled on a couple occasions and seemed to have forgotten about my last two 30-minute training sessions. That was disappointing, especially after paying for the package. However, I will say that trainer is very knowledgeable with his gift. I respect him- but not the fact I didn’t receive what I paid for. Should be, but it’s not a huge deal. Let’s just say I won’t be paying for more packages in the future.
Another thing I’ve noticed from a member’s perspective is what appears to be a noticeable difference in how certain employees are treated. Management may not realize how much customers can see from the outside looking in. Some employees seem to receive significantly more recognition, opportunities, and visibility than others—whether that’s consistently being featured on social media or being allowed to host classes that aren’t even listed on the app for all paying members. It creates the impression that some employees are valued much more than others, and that’s difficult to overlook. As a leader at my own place of work- who leads with humility, these things are very important to me. There isn’t one employee who would be able to tell you they are not seen, heard nor valued.
Lastly, I was extremely disappointed to hear that Deeno is no longer with OneLife. I don’t know what happened, and I don’t want to speculate about the circumstances. However, I will say that as a member, it was obvious how much people valued him and his classes. His Bootcamp had a following and brought a level of energy and community that was special. It’s genuinely disappointing to lose an instructor who made members excited to show up and work hard.
Overall, I still think OneLife is a pretty decent gym with a lot to offer, and I’ll continue going for the time being. I just hope management takes some of these concerns into consideration, especially when it comes to recognizing the employees and instructors who make such a positive impact on the members.
Thanks, OneLife
I have been a member at the Hamilton Mill location ever since it opened. My absolute favorite classes are BodyPump and BodyCombat. While all the instructors here are great, I especially love the classes taught by Kimberly Gribbin. Whether teaching BodyPump or BodyCombat, her work ethic is incredible. She never cuts corners, always trains with challenging weights, and maintains perfect form. In BodyCombat, she breaks down target movements clearly, making it easy for members to follow. Her punches are exceptionally powerful, her kicks are perfectly balanced, and her sheer drive motivates the entire room to give their absolute best.Her class delivery is completely seamless—no phone checking, no hesitation, and not a single minute wasted. She starts and ends exactly on time, thoughtfully providing options for all fitness levels. Every class leaves me with a profound sense of fulfillment and time well spent. Kim is the ultimate instructor to follow!

I want to love this gym, but it’s just wayyyy too crowded ALL THE TIME. Also, this isn’t a place for serious athletes, more so for young people, newbies and so-called fitness enthusiasts. You’ll find groups of young people in swarms there, lots of selfie videos being filmed, and when you’re on a machine, some kid will hop over and ask you how many more sets you have, as if it’s some right of passage that they’ve just learned when they signed up smdh. 😭Seriously- it’s a real problem at this place. The good stuff: you can pay a lot of money and take advantage of the spin classes, yoga, Pilates, Zumba, etc. and use the “special room” which has a couple of red light therapy chairs, or whatever, plus you get free white towels. :)
Another positive, I think the gym has some unique equipment. You just have to wait around and sift the crowds to try to use any of it.
The cardio section is very compact in my opinion- all of the cardio machines are just piled in back to back and very close together. Another issue is the weekend hours. Due to the fact that the place is always crowded, I think they should EXTEND THE GYM HOURS. At least stay open until midnight 7 days a week. Why close at 8 on Friday nights and 6 pm on weekends as if there’s anything else to do in Gwinnett!?? Extend those hours ya’ll- spread out that crowd traffic?!!
Overall, the gym just feels crowded. VERYYY CROWDED. Some of the machines are not spaced properly either. There are not enough benches in the free weight section. You can never find a spot over there to train.Not ever. In general, just know, that here, at all times, there will be someone in the way, all the time! I can never seem to get in a solid, focused workout there. For this reason, I have kept my LA Fitness membership, where I can focus and train effectively and efficiently. And guess what, there are no teeny boppers asking me how many more sets I have left-all day long!!!!😩😩😩😂😂😂
