I tried everything and nothing felt right. My best friend and now business partner, Missy, started kickboxing and said "Alixx, you have to come with me I think you'll love it". So being a good friend I said, "Hell yes"! I was so scared and intimidated when I went to my first class but being with a friend made it easier.
Please be sure to arrive 20 minutes before the class starts. If you do not arrive 20 minutes early you may not be permitted into class. We'll have you sign a waiver, give you a short tour, and get you all wrapped up and out on the mats! Wraps are required for class and can be purchased at the front desk $10.
Come discover our strength and HIIT program. VESTA Movement's strength class uses kettlebells, TRX, resistance bands, dumbbells, battle ropes, core training and much more for the most progressive and result-driven strength training experience. Workouts are never repeated to ensure continual, total body progressions.
HBIC, Missy AKA MISS PRISS, hasn't stopped smiling since opening VESTA in 2015, but don't let that smile fool you. Missy is an ISSA Certified Trainer and Brand Ambassador for lululemon, SOCIETY9, Girl Gang Wraps and NOOMA and was featured in the ADIDAS 2019 Run campaign. She's led group fitness classes all over the city, has been featured in Atlanta Magazine, Jezebel Magazine, and the list just goes on.
Sarah is a professional dancer and has always had a passion for fitness. She received her BFA in Dance from Wright State University and moved to Atlanta shortly after graduation. She started her journey at VESTA as a member and then began working at the front desk. Soon after, she became a Certified Personal Trainer & Group Fitness Instructor.

I can not rave enough about both VESTA locations! From the instructors to the staff, I feel SO welcome and comfortable the entire time. I'm a curvier girl so I have always felt out of place at gyms and since joining in April, I have not once felt that way at either location. Do yourself a solid and join! You will not regret it!

I’ve been attending Vesta since November and it quickly became my favorite place on earth. The reason I joined was because I felt stuck at my gym/weight lifting and wanted to try something new. I fell in love with the challenging classes and high-paced energy. Everything from the music to the friendliness of community is great! It is challenging with a mask on but I will say Vesta cares about their members by ensuring covid protocols like quick exit/entrance (no overlap between classes), sanitation between classes, bags spread apart, at-home videos, etc. Vesta is now my second home and I wouldn’t

Y’all... Vesta has changed my life. They truly work you out mind, body, and spirit. I have never enjoyed exercising until now and I am easily in the best shape I have ever been. Their classes build both muscle and confidence. The trainers welcome you in and make you feel like family. Love love love Vesta.

I cannot say enough great things about Vesta! Not only is it the one gym I can actually stick to, but the community is unlike any other. If you want a place where everybody and every BODY is welcome, Vesta is for you. If you want to feel badass no matter your skill level, Vesta is for you. If struggle with a consistent workout routine, Vesta is for you. You’ll want to come back day in and day out. You can see physical progress in your form over time, in your body (I’ve lost around 20lbs), in your self talk and gain friends/loyal community in the process. This is the most humble gym with truly

I can’t say enough good things about Vesta. I’ve been a member for 2 years and it may be my favorite part about living in Atlanta. The trainers are kind, helpful, and inclusive. They encourage you to workout at your own pace, but challenge you to see your full potential. You should definitely try a class!

I've been coming to Vesta for about a month now, and have been so impressed! The kickboxing instructors are high energy, knowledgeable, and provide helpful feedback on form and technique. I also really appreciate the COVID precautions they are taking. I was extremely hesitant to start going to a gym again but I have seen them clean between classes, offer hand sanitizer when you arrive, and remind everyone to keep their masks over their nose and mouth during class.

I’ve been a member of Vesta for a year and a half and am in the best shape of my life because of this gym. It quickly became one of my favorite places - the classes are fun and the trainers are so nice and helpful. I never thought I’d be a gym person or find a workout that I love, but now I’m hooked!

Wish I could give this place additional stars because it definitely deserves way more then just 5. I moved from LA to ATL two years ago, and until stumbling upon Vesta I really struggled to find a gym that encompassed the three things I look for: Cleanliness, culture, and class. Vesta is the triple threat I've been looking for!

Cleanliness - I ALWAYS see the staff working hard after every class making sure everything is sanitized and spotless for the next use. In addition, the Vesta team has stayed extremely mindful and proactive throughout the whole pandemic to prevent the spread of covid

I love this studio! The classes are high energy, the trainers are helpful and motivating, and the front desk staff is always kind hearted and welcoming. You feel like your part of a family. I hate running, so kickboxing is my new favorite cardio routine. Definitely check out Vesta!!

I just moved to Atlanta this past May and was really picky about choosing a gym. Saw that Vesta had five stars- now three months later I see why! I love this gym so far, and I'm so happy to finally be enjoying fitness again.

This place is amazing!!! The culture here is so positive and full of high energy. The hour really goes by fast... but you'll definitely feel the burn. I've taken both the kickboxing and HIIT classes and they are equally wonderful. The instructors actually care and are always so kind and helpful (I even met my life coach Paige here)! It's also aesthetically pleasing to boot. If you're hesitant about going to the gym... don't be... your first class here is FREE!!! You won't regret it... people from all walks of life come here... so there's no reason to be intimidated

I am so happy I found out about Vesta! My first workout was at the shed and sweat at PCM and I enjoyed the vibes from the staff so much I decided to do a little more research. If you are weary they offer a free class before committing to anything HIIT or Kickboxing. Shortly after redeeming my free workout online I received a follow-up phone call from a sweet soul and we were able to set up my class in less than 3 mins. Upon my arrival Tito greeted me and gave me a tour prior to my class starting. Shannon was my instructor and she is amazing!! There was no intimidation and all levels blended well

I LOVED this place for sooo many reasons. Super clean-even the bathrooms! Such a beautiful building ~the plants out front made it so we had fresh air but still had privacy for the class. ALL the employees were SOOO nice-from the time I walked in at the front desk to the instructor-it was my first kickboxing class and they made me feel so welcome and comfortable. I get nervous for new things so this was just so nice. The classes were mostly women, which I also appreciated. Every time I felt a little confused for combinations the instructor came over. She was so sweet assuring me and my friend that

Prior to Vesta I had never committed to any consistent workout program in any way so the general gym intimidation was natural, but the effort, by the entire staff, to dispel this feeling was apparent immediately. They are friendly and welcoming with the intention to train you with an inclusive and educational community. At no point has the intimidation factor resurfaced, as the community aspect is a reality, the staff remember who I am and even if it's only by face, it is still encouraging. The instructors are extremely attentive to proper form and consistency and do care (and notice) when

Vesta is awesome. Before Vesta, I hated working out . I went with a friend who had been talking about it for months, you get a free class people!! I was addicted after my first class. All the trainers are so nice and knowledgeable. The classes last around 55 minutes and it's pretty intense but you can go at your own pace which is awesome. I have never felt weird or uncomfortable there which is the first time ever at any gym. Besides kickboxing, they offer a strength class upstairs. The trainers offer one on one trainings for an additional cost BUT it's worth it. With the membership you

Vesta movement is the real deal! I had never tried kickboxing before, but I felt so welcome by all the staff and got a kickass workout. It's definitely a hard, but it's also so much fun. I started going to Vesta 3-4 times a week and I have fallen in love with the workout. I'm more active and stronger than ever thanks to Vesta!

I've been working out at Vesta since February. I am not a gym person! I have always hated gyms, but this is different. The workouts kick my butt, but I always feel amazing afterward. I love when they open up the wall, blast the music, and stack combos until I can't do any more. For the first time in my life, I feel strong. Thank you, Vesta. Check it out!

I had a fantastic time at this gym. The trainers are awesome, the music kept me motivated. Everyone was on their game and focused on working out. I was able to rotate from Kickboxing/boxing to strengthening classes at my choosing. In the short time I've been working out here, I feel amazing.

You Rock Vesta!!!

Last night was my first class of many with Vesta. The music was pumping, the staff was sweet and accommodating, and the space was awesome. And that coming from a girl who's a little on the chunky side and never feels quite at home in a gym. If you wanna get your kickbox on, try these ladies out!

I took my first class at Vesta in December of 2015 on a whim. Though I had tried to become a "fitness person" for years by going to different gyms, nothing ever stuck and I found myself in a cycle of guilt and disappointment. Between not working out and eating garbage, my self image was at an all-time low, so I figured it couldn't hurt to try something totally outside of my normal wheelhouse. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I left my class with Missy feeling like the biggest badass on the planet and that was that. I was sold.

The instructors are all super down

I already feel so much stronger and so much more confident thanks to Vesha. Her classes are fierce (in the best way) so you definitely put your work in! She also stays very aware throughout class and keeps an eye on posture and form to make sure you're getting the most out of your workout while staying safe. Aside from the class itself, she's the most encouraging and supportive off all your goals. And she'll keep you accountable, which means I'll just have to keep coming back!

I love Vesta! Missy, Alix, Vesha and Bruno always bring a great workout. It's a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. They offer Intro classes twice a week if you are new to kickboxing. Classes are structured similarly but combinations vary so you never get bored.
