I started training here 6 months ago. This is by far the best gym Ive ever been apart of. My trainer Karla is absolutely amazing and I recommendher to absolutely anyone. Im down 10% fat and Ive gained 10 lbs muscle. Everyone is extremely friendly and willing to help. On top of that everyone that attends makes sure the place stays ultra clean. By wiping their machines and wearing their mask (unless people are taking a breather or hydrating themselves). On top of that this place is never over crowded and maintain distance between everyone.I highly recommend this gym.

I’ve been a member here for over a year. Love this place! My buddies convinced me to come and join their lifting sessions during the week and I was hooked! Amazing atmosphere, quality equipment, and love the vibes! The staff are all very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. Would recommend this place to anyone wanting somewhere affordable, beautiful, and welcoming!

Ive been a member here for 6+ months now and I am in absolute awe of my results. I am no stranger to gyms and workout culture but this gym has brought so many good surprises to me along the way. First off, its results focused. The culture here is supportive people focused on goals and results. I feel other gyms are more setup to go through the motions where you dont see the results that you yearn for. At A&A, the atmosphere is different where your goals are put into the forefront of your workouts. I love the setup-- you can either workout on your own or sign up with a personal trainer. Each trainer brings something unique... whether youre more focused on body building, losing weight, toning and sculpting or even competing, there is something or everyone. All skills and fitness levels are welcome and it really is true that its a no judgment zone. Dexters weekend classes are what I love the most... its focused on body part so you know exactly what youre in for and can plan your weekly workouts accordingly. If youre looking for something different, motivation to get to the next level or just a push in the right direction, this gym is for you!

My family is just visiting from PHX and we needed to find a place to work out in the Highlands North area. We found this amazing gem! Brian was very kind and the equipment here is state of art, high quality and fun atmosphere. I wish this gym was in Arizona but since it’s not, if you are lucky enough to live in North Albuquerque area this is your go to place!! Support this local business and achieve your fitness goals with staff that cares.

Came here as someone who had never set foot in a gym to work on gaining some weight with Dexter and left with a whole new lifestyle. This gym, its trainers, and the other members made me excited to come in everyday and it set me on a path to a much healthier, stronger lifestyle. Ive since moved from the area, but sincerely miss the culture of this place. Its extremely clean, which is surprisingly rare for gyms even in the age of Covid, and just an all around fun place to be.

I’ve been a member of several gyms in the last 6 years but nothing really has compared to my experiences at Athletics. I have been training here for 3 months so far and I am very happy with my experience. In a time where things were uncertain, times have been hard, and depression has been a major factor for a lot of people, this has been my safe place. I love this gym and I find that everyone there is so friendly. I enjoy all the different people I come across no matter what time of day it is. I enjoy the vibe and how hard everyone works to push each other and make you feel like a part of something. I most of all appreciate the amazing staff. They have been so encouraging and welcoming. The trainers are extremely knowledgeable, and the members I have met are becoming like family. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting something different and longing for a change

Best gym that Ive been to in Albuquerque. Wide selection of weights and machines. Staff is friendly and the gym is a perfect mix between welcoming and motivating to help you reach your fitness goals. Also the nicest/most aesthetically pleasing gym in Albuquerque

Athletic and Athletics:I just want to say thank you from the bottom my heart by providing a gym where I feel like belong and be therapy for me. From all the trainers and all of you guys it honestly feels good. I know I pay for a membership there but it feels like 65 is nothing compared to what you guys have there. You guys make it an amazing place to be and honestly I don’t think you have any idea what that means. Today I trained there and when I walked out of there I literally broke down because you guys seem to care and want people to succeed without ripping people off. Hands down it’s one of the best decisions of my life.

Hands down, Athletics and Aesthetics is the best gym in Albuquerque. From the second you walk through the door you are greeted by friendly staff and an immediate temperature check. The gym always smells fresh, feels clean and is aesthetically pleasing. Masks are mandatory and strictly enforced. I have only seen masks pulled down for a quick drink or breath. Health, safety and Covid guidelines are posted throughout. Staff and customers continuously disinfectant equipment between each use. All of the trainers are beyond friendly, super knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I have never had such a wonderful and comfortable experience any where else. Thank you to the A&A team for being so amazing!

By far the BEST gym in town! This is my home away from home. Very friendly staff, very nice equipment and friendly fellow members. If you want a home gym kinda feel this is the place!

I’ve been a member here going on two years almost. There have been a ton of changes since Covid and lockdown. I am very thrilled with the facility and all it has to offer, but it’s disappointing to not be able to use all the amenities due to restrictions. I look forward to the day restrictions ease and gyms are allowed to operate at full capacity and capability. The new layout is amazing and very functional. I train with Karla, one of the female trainers, two days a week. I also take some of Brian’s classes in the mornings. So far, this year has been amazing and I’ve seen better results than I have in years on my own. Thank you all for everything you do to keep us healthy.

This gym has been amazing. They have amazing trainers and have helped me work toward and meet my fitness goals. The facility is great. They were amazing with responding to the Covid changes and have kept the gym immaculate. Brian’s classes have been wonderful, as they work with my schedule and is always willing to accommodate according to fitness level and ability. The owners have been great as well, if there are any issues, they always are willing to talk. As with any business, there are some hiccups, but I have not had any problems with billing as others have stated. I personally feel the below review is out of personal anger or frustration. Some people are never happy no matter what the outcome is or what you do for them. Do not let the below review pull you away from trying this facility out. I feel the price ranges are very reasonable, and i don’t feel taken advantage of like at other gyms I’ve tried in the past. I would recommend this gym to any of my friend and family that would love to make changes to their bodies. :)

I have been attending the gym for about a year now, and i can say nothing but good about the gym. The trainers are beyond amazing, everyone there is more then willing to help you accomplish any goals or fitness aspirations you may have. I love the quality of the equipment, but even more the vibe. Its amazing to see so many different people all meshing together in one place. I feel the prices are more than reasonable and its worth every bit. I highly recommend you checking this facility out.

What an amazing gym! I had the best experience here. The trainers are amazing, everyone is so supportive! i love it! Everyone wears masks, which is wonderful! people social distance also! Thank you!

This gym has been a great experience I’ve been going here for over two months.I came from a CrossFit gym, I wasn’t sure if I was going to fit in, but the atmosphere is great all the trainers and members are helpful motivating and inspiring. If you have any questions they will answer them. Great place to workout at!! They keep the gym very clean! They have classes durning the week with Brian and the weekends with Dex. If you want a good workout come try them!

Lea is amazing!!! During my consultation so provided options for the areas that I was looking to improve, along with information to support those options for my reference. When I went in for my appointment she walked me through the entire process before and during, while providing me additional knowledge behind what she was doing and why. She makes sure you know about the procedure you decided on, what the product is, and how it works with your body. I learned so much from her. She also made sure I understood any possible side affects and reassured me that she was available and not to hesitate to reach out to her with any questions. She made me feel comfortable with the entire process! I will definitely be returning and highly recommend her if you are looking for knowledge and quality! Thank you Lea!

Ive been training at Athletics and Aesthetics for almost a year now and with the recent pandemic I have to say I havent felt more safe and secure in a gym: especially with the hygienic and safety protocols they have in place at Athletics and Aesthetics .Upon entering our temperature was checked, and we were offered free hand sanitizer and encouraged to wear our mask at all times.During one of my visits the string on my mask broke and I was kindly offered a new replacement mask from the staff.The trainers and owner take pride in their facility and its cleanliness. Athletics and Aesthetics goes above and beyond to ensure the safety of their members.

I joined this gym in the summer of 2020, after the initial Covid lockdown when gyms were able to reopen. I was nervous about going back to one of the bigger gyms in town, just because I wasn’t sure of their safety protocols and I know from working at several different gyms how busy they can get. A&A was a good choice for me at the time, and I’ve continued my membership here because not only are they safe, they are like family and I’m treated with nothing but respect every time I go in. For me, getting to the gym and training with Jason has been a much needed break from the mundane routine of remote work. Like many, I am working from home and my social interactions are limited so being able to go to the gym and talk freely with everyone there is therapeutic. I also feel safe, my trainer and the employees always wear their masks and are constantly sanitizing equipment for us. Members are also mandated to wear a mask in the building, much like anywhere else and A&A strictly enforces this which I greatly appreciate. As mentioned, I worked at different gyms in and out of state and I was lucky enough to meet Jason at a past employer where we managed together. Jason has a heart of gold and genuinely wants anyone around him to succeed. He consumes himself with the well-being of others, and will push you to always do better. I fell into a slump during the initial gym closures and I had such a hard time bouncing back until I got a text from Jason asking me to check out the gym which I obliged. Jason keeps me motivated, he texts me to see how I’m doing and will send me workouts to do on my own if I’m not training with him. Dex has also been great during my time with A&A and always goes out of his way to greet me when he sees me which I truly appreciate especially during a time when my social interactions are minimal. Dex, Jason and everyone at A&A treats me like family and I truly appreciate the people here. The gym is never too crowded, the equipment is next-level, it’s safe and clean.

The Gym is the best I’ve ever been to, Caleb is one of the best personal trainers I’ve ever had. Everyone is friendly, Great environment and everyone is helpful.

Good high quality gym, everyone was wearing their mask correctly, the only time i saw it off was when they were hydrating themselves. the trainers along with the employees are very kind and helpful

I really enjoy this facility. Ive been with my trainer for around two months and I love the goals I have achieved thus far. The atmosphere is very encouraging and inspiring. I am always excited to go and workout even though I die at times lol. Ive developed a community and family within the facility and it motivates me to keep striving for more. I highly recommend checking this place out. I have never had any managerial issues, and actually it has been the opposite. They are always welcoming and have always helped me with any issues I have had. Billing has also never been an issue. You pay for what you ask for. Ive referred at least three friends already

This gym is one of the best gyms in abq, every time i walk in i am greeted with a smile from their front desk staff, they always seem to care that you are there and doing well, even as i walk out, i am always told a farewell from them. The gym is beyond amazing when it comes to quality, there are very many machines at this gym that are good for targeting any specific area that you would like to workout. The trainers there are so kind and willing to help me when it comes to a workout i may not fully understand, and they are more then willing to show me and guide me down the right path of achieving my fitness goals. I highly recommend this place for anyone that is looking to get back in shape after covid, they keep up with the rules and keep the gym clean, so that you feel safe walking into the facility and out of it

Honestly love the facility! It’s freaking awesome and the staff are amazing. I love the atmosphere and vibes you get from this place. I read the previous review of not being clean and that is far from the truth. This place cleans non stop, they are always mopping and sweeping, and constantly disinfecting. I actually feel safe in this place compared to bigger gyms. They pay attention to detail and I love that about these guys. Best gym in the city hands down. Can’t leave out Cryotherapy. That place has improved my recovery time by a ton!

I cant say ENOUGH good things about this gym! The space is clean and well laid out, all the machines are great quality and constantly maintained for use, every trainer and member of staff is extremely friendly and willing to help or answer any question you might have, and the members are polite to everyone that walks in. The atmosphere is welcoming and high enough energy to keep you motivated, but not so overwhelming as to chase you away on a low key day. I spent two years at a local big box gym, and Im so glad I found this space, and Jason as a fabulous trainer. Worth every penny of the amazingly affordable membership!

I joined the gym in September of 2020- a friend referred me to Dex ! Dex has been my personal trainer for almost 5 months & I have had really amazing results !! The staff is always professional and courteous & the gym follows all Covid-19 polices ! It’s a really great place to workout !! I highly recommend it !

I like this gym. Good vibes from the members, people here are nice but focused on their own workouts. Super clean, and that is so important in the post COVID world. The facility is very nice. Also, the music is good that I don’t have to wear headphones all the time. The equipment is the best in town especially if you are wanting to build lower body which is my fave. The trainers are knowledgeable and motivating. I have received a lot of positive feedback on my muscle growth, tone and symmetry since training with Dex.

Very very very good gym, i saw some of the reviews and i dont see what they are saying, the gym is very clean and each member sanitizes their station after use, everyone has a very good vibe, and i enjoy being there, i feel very comfortable and safe

Lea is professional, caring, and extremely skilled. I highly recommend her services.

This gym is has such a great environment! As soon as you walk in you are welcomed with a smile and wonderful greeting. The facility is spotless! Staff is constantly cleaning. The management and staff members are professional, helpful and encouraging. Top quality equipment and trainers. I recommend you coming in to check it out!

My favorite thing about this place is the equipment. Nothing like you would find anywhere in the city. The GM Kaitlyn was very nice and showed me all sorts of cool things when I visited. She put me in the hands of Brian who I now train with. I take his group fitness classes and they are so challenging. I’ve enjoyed the variety and his ability to push you out of your comfort zone. I would highly suggest trying his classes out!

Great gym :) i had the best experience! super supportive people and everyone wears masks !

I went to the gym, got a good a lift in, the employees were friendly and helpful and everyone was wearing there mask correctly

Awesome trainers, lots of room to workout

Best gym I have ever been to. Only kind of machines in the state to ensure you are in proper form. Everyone is willing to help you out and cheer you on. And the personal training is amazing and your trainer actually gets to know you unlike define.

My name is Izolda Kostanian and I am actually a nurse in Albuquerque, NM. I am a member of this facility along with my sister and several of her friends. At no point in time, have we ever felt threatened or at risk by being at this facility. Knowing the knowledge that I possess about this virus and the risk that we all take by entering all facilities, not just a gym. I know that we are not being compromised by staff or members. Every time I have worked out, which is usually 4-5 times a week, I have never seen anyone blatantly or habitually not wear their PPE. Members have the right to take a drink of water if they need to and also the right to remove their mask from their nose if they have a pre-existing condition or have trouble breathing. Who are we to say what members are not allowed to do this that have submitted letters to staff or the facility that they have pre-existing medical conditions and are covered by their physician. The below review that I read is extremely petty and premature. Ive been a member here almost a year and I will continue to support all of them, including US Cryo because they are both amazing and extremely attentive. Please feel free to message me if you have further questions about my experience and any other concerns. You can find me on all social media platforms by my name

As someone who travels, I appreciate friendly employees, clean environments, and unmatched equipment. This gym has all of those things. By far the best leg equipment Ive seen, in a gym, maybe anywhere. Its comparable to Golds in Venice for leg equipment. Friendly out going employees, who made me feel that even though I was a guest, that this was my gym and I was home. I will definitely be back.

What a great time I had working out. Great vibes, great music, and great customer service. Ill be back and future member.

Great place! My cousin works out here and I visit with her sometimes. We drive all the way from Santa Fe and its totally worth it. Love the trainers and the owner is extremely nice. Very informative and knows his stuff. If I lived in town I would definitely be a member

Best gym in the city! It’s very clean and the trainers are amazing! Dex, the owner, has been super helpful and informative. You can tell they know what they are doing! Would highly recommend this gym for anyone who wants to take their fitness to the next level.

I only gave one star because I cannot give zero. This gym has a pattern of over charging client and not refunding them when they are owed. They have multiple complaints on the Better Business Bureau web sight. So I would avoid giving them your card unless you want to have to take extreme measures to try to get your money back, such as elevating the issue or all together having to cancel your card. The owner does not understand his responsibilities. When you come to him with a complaints or issues he does not get back to you or he blames someone else like a child. I would look at the yelp reviews on this business and the Better Business Website because I am just one person but the pattern of issues with mismanaged money speaks for itself. I am sure they will try to respond with an excuse instead of taking responsibility as they have to others who have complained about the same exact issue. It cant always be the other person.

Best facility in the city! I’ve been training with Jason for awhile now and he is an amazing trainer! All the trainers are cool! Very helpful, educated, and welcoming! Would highly recommend!

Everyone is so nice and friendly. I haven’t had 1 bad experience. Their personal training program is AMAZING.They have been so professional and they definitely take health precautions to the max which I’m thankful for during this time. Definitely recommend if you haven’t checked them out do yourself a favor and do so!

I’ve been to other gyms in the past but nothing has compared to my experience at Athletics & Aesthetics! Right when you walk in you’re greeted by their amazing staff and trainers. They have high end equipment that I haven’t seen at any other gym. Jason Blotsky my personal trainer has helped me so much with my health and fitness and pushed me harder to achieve my goals. So I definitely recommend checking out Athletics & Aesthetics.

The equipment, location and classes are great. I’ve observed some of the trainers and they seem to do a good job, however my experience with the owner, Dexter was not up to par. In the couple training sessions I had with him, I would have to make sure he was paying attention to me and not on his phone. Meal plan was not customized nor the workouts. I would get the same workout as if I was doing a group class. There was also no call no shows for my training time. At one point, I was over charged $400+ and was not reimbursed for 3-4 months. I would check in with him once a week and he would say he’s fixing it with the payroll manager, Jacinda. I would ask for screenshots and he would send me the notes and request of a refund, but then would delete it. I asked for a copy of my contract, he couldn’t provide it and instead sent me someone else’s copy. Luckily I got into touch with Jacinda and she was able to reimburse me for the overcharges. Turns out Dexter never reached out to her, meaning he continually lied to my face when I would approach him about it.

This place has become my home. I love the atmosphere and the beauty of it. This isn’t just a place for the serious lifter. I convinced several of my friends to join, some who are in shape and others who aren’t, and they love it! They are continuing to grow and I love all of the new amenities they are bringing. The front desk staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Specifically, Jacinda who is the GM, has always been very informative and welcoming. I lovethe family vibes I get here and would never go anywhere else. Dexter has been my trainer for almost 4 months now. I have seen amazing results and I’m very excited about 2020 with him and my fitness family. I convinced my friend to join our sessions starting this year and she loves how challenging it is. She complains the entire time lol, but I’m the end it is worth it. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a lifestyle change and a facility that will welcome you with open arms.

To anyone looking for a great faculty with the best trainers in Albuquerque, this is the place for you. One of the only gyms that offers supplements to purchase, fitness accessories, merchandise, outside training facility, and all high end equipment. All of the members are very welcoming and there are never issues using or sharing machines. The owner Dex is very passionate about his craft and one class with him and you will realize how important it is to have a professional trainer. I have met some of the best people at this facility. Keep up the great work!

This place has been amazing! I came in for the reopening And was blown away! They have a brand new layout, machines I have never used have only been able to see them online in bodybuilders videos. They showed me the new locker rooms Which is just what this gym needed for the days I can’t go home and shower before work! They brought in a new head trainer and new training staff & management that genuinely asks how your doing and what’s your health goals for next month than 6 months than 1 year. And what makes this gym even better is it has a state of the art inbody machine that gives you your total body fat percentage including visceral fat. I will be referring all my friends am family.. Thank you guys!

This is an amazing gym its very clean which is much needed with covid, amazing and helpful new staff that were very professional with helping me solve an issue with my payments and they fixed it the SAME DAY! Highly recommend.

From the first day I walked in it felt like I had come home, athletics and aesthetics brings a gym family atmosphere like no other gym Ive been in. From the trainers to the front desk, everyone is always positive and upbeat. If you want to be part of a positive movement and transition to a healthier lifestyle, join athletics and aesthetics.

I must say this is one of the best place to workout. I have been to different gyms in Albuquerque and this one is special. The people are super nice and very helpful. The equipments are in crisp conditions. There are some equipments I have never seen in any other gym. If you like to work around less people, there are certain times to go but generally not busy. I usually have the gym to myself. They are expanding and adding equipments. The price is great. I highly recommend athletics and aesthetics to anyone who wants to make serious gains!

Great facility great staff and amazing if you have kids in sports. I love working out here and so do my boys! Jaime and Dex have pushed my kids and made them better stronger and faster in every way including mentally. Only thing to be aware of is cancellation fee is steep. My schedule recently changed and it’s hard to get there during business hours so I tried to cancel but it wasn’t worth it. But just means I have to stay working out in a great facility so really not a bad deal. Only thing I would change is the hours. In personally wish it was a 24 hour facility I have shown up 3 times at 5am and the doors stayed locked until 6 which sucked. But still recommend this gym strongly to everyone I know.

Athletics and Aesthetics has Friendly staff with Great Trainers.Its a awesome place to train. one stop shop work out on your own, pick a trainer do some one on one personal training or join in on a boot camp style HITT class.

I’ve been a member since the beginning. I remember when the doors opened and we all were so excited about the new space. I’ve seen all the changes and new faces that have come and gone. I can honestly say that this is family. I love the growth that has occurred, the change in management, and the trainers that are on staff. Jacinda is absolutely amazing! She is very welcoming, courteous of others, and goes over and beyond to make sure members feel comfortable. I haven’t experienced any of the services at the spa onsite, but everyone seems to love Lea and she has an amazing presence about her. The trainers I definitely want to speak on. Not too many gyms where you have such a variety of skilled trainers on staff always willing to help. I occasionally take some of the classes and I love the style of Susan and Brian. They have completely different styles, but both extremely effective at what they do. Classes are always fun and they are always extremely encouraging. The new amenities of the franchise that they have partnered with is pretty cool. You get wellness, recovery, and beauty all in one place. There isn’t a facility like this in the city and I encourage people to come try it out. I see a lot of people, for whatever reason, feel the need to bash this facility. I encourage you to actually go in and speak with the staff. They have always been willing to help me and my son as well. They are still growing and no one is perfect, but I definitely know they have done an amazing job with my family. So I appreciate all you have provided and continue to. Don’t hesitate! Go check it out!

I recently joined Athletics and Aesthetics because I heard amazing things about it. I used to be a part of only the services at Lea Henderson Aesthetics, but every time I came in, I would see the energy level and how excited people were. I asked for a tour of the gym about a month ago. It seemed extremely intimidating at first, but I quickly noticed how friendly everyone was. The staff are all pleasant and very informative. A lot of equipment I’ve never seen before and I’ve been a member of several gyms including planet and sports and wellness. I love the way I feel when I leave and it’s becoming addicting. Even though my commute is 35 mins, I still try and make it at least 3 times a week. The atmosphere is second to none and I would recommend it for anyone who is a first timer or just looking for a change. Unlike most gyms, it’s never too crowded, your always welcomed with a smile, never have to wait on equipment, and the uniqueness of this place is spectacular.

Hands down the best gym in the city. I love the atmosphere and culture they bring. This facility is very captivating! The beauty of this place is hands down the best I have seen. The trainers and staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. If you are looking for results, go no further than A&A. I have many friends that workout here and they all rave about this place. You see all types of fitness levels here and they all are on a mission to be the best version of themselves. There are many gyms in Albuquerque to choose from, why sell yourself short? If you want to be more than just a number and be held to a higher standard, check this place out. I would any day of the week pick this place over any of the new gym popping up in the city!

Today, I left Athletics and Aesthetics (A&A) on a high note and just had to say some kind words about this facility and staff. I am a fitness competitor and participate in many gyms, but this gym has my frequent miles. I particularly joined this gym because of feedback received from a fitness competition to develop my glutes and hamstrings. The leg equipment at this gym is what originally got my attention, however, all of the equipment is new and great. The gym is reasonable priced, clean, staff/trainers are polite and willing to provide advice and a spot. For example, today (and not just today), both the staff and other members are willing to provide a spot or encourage you to push yourself harder (I hit a PR today). My nephew, a newbie to the gym scene, recently joined as well and without asking A&A staff provided advice on proper form and made him feel comfortable. Thank you A&A.

I love this gym! I’ve been a member since the beginning and love attending the classes with Dex and Susan. Susan is an amazing trainer! She is very focused on form. She makes sure you’re doing the exercises correctly to get the most benefit out of the workout. She works very hard on her programming to provide a mix of cardio, strength, and core workouts. She’s always adding new challenging exercises to her classes! I’m so thankful for her! She has really motivated me to be healthier and I’ve seen great results!

After reading a recent bad review that was posted I wanted to give a review of my own based on not one, but months of visits, trainings and interactions with the staff and members who attend A&A. I have worked out on my own for many years and am pretty familiar with my way around a gym. I was introduced to Dexter, the owner of A&A through a friend who had begun training with him. I have never wanted or used a trainer but from the second I met Dex I knew I would now have a personal trainer and a second gym to call home. Dex was engaged, motivational and excited to help me reach my goals, some of which I didn’t even think would be possible. He has, from day one been my biggest cheerleader, my strongest supporter and has welcomed me to the A&A family. He has picked me up when I have been down and wanted to quit, has checked up on me on his own time when I went through a difficult family loss. He has shared not only his training expertise but his genuine care and support. Never has he nor anyone at the gym offered anything other than support and motivation. I have never felt out of place, or on display. I have never questioned my decision to spend not only my time but my money on this gym and with this amazing group of trainers. A&A truly has a family vibe and welcome all levels of fitness with open arms. There is something for everyone in this gym and I couldn’t be happier with my decision to come here and train with the best.

I originally came to this gym to personal train for a competition. I heard they had some of the best trainers to prep for competition. I enjoyed the workouts, loved the atmosphere, and the equipment was super nice. I ended up not competing, but i still workout here because you can’t beat the vibes and the people. Looking for a place to get your workouts in and not have to deal with being interrupted or bothered by people “creating convo,” this is the place to be! Highly recommend!

Coming from a small town 2 hours away I was invited to check out a gym in Albuquerque New Mexico called Athletics And Aesthetics for any help in progressing my workout. Upon hearing the reviews both on all social media I decided that exact day to drive up to Albuquerque and check it out for myself. My first thought was very welcoming and motivational. People greet you upon your arrival as they should at any venue with a warm welcome and zero form of judgment. Following my arrival I was offered a tour of the facility and a explanation of each and every piece of equipment offered. On that day I began my journey with A&A because I felt welcomed, motivated, and overall a sense of purpose not only in myself but as a person. I truly believe that A&A is not only a facility to go to but a second home and everyone is family.

Amazing gym, great new staff, trainers are amazing and very helpful. Way better than my membership and defined fitness from the people to the how clean the facility is

I love this gym, the environment, the members and most of all the trainers. I personally work with Dex who has been supportive from the first day, he is flexible with his schedule, he pushes you to your best potential and does not allow you to give up on yourself. He is personable and creates strong professional relationships with each and everyone who walks into the gym - he makes everyone feel welcome as they enter the gym. He has healthy dialogue regarding your personal goals and spends right time with you to come up with a realistic plan to help you achieve your goals. The environment is fun, the music changes throughout the day and they take requests from the members on what type of music you want to listen but it is always upbeat or music to pump/motivate you. Everyone (both members and trainers) are supportive and helpful, its family-like because we see each other so often; the trainers regardless if it is your direct trainer or another one of the awesome trainers will help you or give you guidance or correct your form when working out. Yes, there is a clothing line which is cool and most of us members purchase shirts/sweater/pants etc with A&A because we are proud to be part of this community. There is an option to take part of meal program that is offered through a partnership that the gym has established which I think goes hand in hand with the healthy lifestyle that Dex promotes. There is also an amazing spa which is state of the art inside the gym - which is pretty cool to have an all in one. It is convenient and it makes sense. I am super happy with my gym and their staff! Great job A&A - looking forward to continued success and growth!

I love the atmosphere here. All the trainers are really cool and know there skill set. I enjoy the different workouts they give me and they are always challenging. I’m a boxer so you would think a gym like this wouldn’t fit but it’s perfect for my conditioning and speed work. Shout out to Brandon and Cody!!!

Love the gym. They offer equipment that I haven’t seen anywhere else. The members are all nice and friendlyI have worked with the trainer Brandon who motivated me and made my experience one of a kind.Recommend to all who want to achieve a fitness goal or want to simply get in shape !!

I love this place. Very friendly and amazing people trainers are awesome. Best place to rich your goals ❤️

Great gym, they make you feel at home with the greetings from the front desk to how they feel about the safety of the members, always being helpful and correcting issuses as soon as notified😊

Awesome and even better people. If you have a question they will be happy to answer no matter if it is about weight lifting or conditioning. Great place!!!

Not impressed with this place. Been there a few times. Seems dirty and obviously not COVID safe. The trainers and clients are walking around with no masks. The lockerroom had used paper towels everywhere because the trash can was full. And to make matters worse, there was no soap for hand washing. Wouldnt recommend!

I used to hate the gym. I have never enjoyed working out inside. The atmosphere the music not necessarily the judgement but overall indoor gym stuff annoyed me. I consider myself an outdoors person and used to choose anything outside as exercise first. Finding this gym and meeting people here has changed all of that. There is nothing but awesome like minded individuals that share the passion of simply bettering yourself. Highly recommend A&A to anyone looking for a high class workout facility!! If you have any questions feel free to go ask anyone there!

Lets just start off by saying that I am not a gym rat and I absolutely LOVE Athletics and Aesthetics! My daughter has one on one training for her HS track and I attend a small groups class three days a week. My daughter has improved her running tremendously with the training she is receiving and I look forward to going to class. The gym and trainers are top notch and always willing to help! Best equipment and very clean. Definitely worth it!!

I have been coming to A&A for a year now & I absolutely Love the environment! From the Front desk to the trainers everyone is professional, friendly, & super helpful. It is such a family environment that I now bring my 3year old son with me and he absolutely Loves it! All the trainers have gone above and beyond to to make us feel welcomed and like family.It can be intimidating to join a new gym, this gym welcomes all fitness levels! Dex & his trainers have always helped me with my form or with any questions I may have about how to use certain machines. I have made quite a fitness transformation and gained a lot of knowledge because of A&A! Dex & his staff are the Best!

I’ve been extremely impressed with the equipment, maintenance of the facility and the service I’ve received at A&A. The quality of services provided by Jason as well as other employees is unmatched.

I have been a member of this gym since it’s opening last year on May 5th. It has been a wonderful experience for me because first of all the equipment is like no other gym in Albuquerque. The equipment and facility is beautiful and clean. So much variety for a good workout is provided here. The owner, Dex has put heart into choosing all of the equipment for his members. The staff is very professional and always willing to help. Membership prices are a steal for what it to offer at the gym. Group classes are thought out to fit the individual. Also the instructions are enthusiastic about giving the member their best experience! Good job👍🏻

Im 13 years old and I train with Jaime. He is an awesome trainer and I love his workout. I work with him on my conditioning and agility. All the trainers are awesome and I love the gym. I recommend every person that wants their summer bod. I also have noticed a huge change in my conditioning and I am able to lift more since they have a machine for anything. They also have a very good price so my dad and my family are able to do a lot more things outside the gym. I love this facility and im thankful that I found this place. The owner is really cool as well. He is super nice and always checks on us. I can tell that him and the other trainers are really close. They all joke around and act like a big family. Its nice to be in such a laid back and fun place. Anyone my age looking to be pushed definitely should go here.

I have been to almost every gym in the Albuquerque area. Defined Fitness, Chuze, Crunch, Legion, Iron Soul, Liberty you know name it and I have more than likely tried the gym. I joined Athletics & Aesthetics in January of 2019 after being recommended by a family member. I was fixed on this gym since day 1 of being here.The environment of the gym is almost indescribable. The owners, trainers, other employees, and members are all extremely kind and welcoming. Anytime you need help, whether it be using a machine or help with form someone is always willing to help. It’s also very family friendly, I see young kids here all the time that are usually in AW watching the older people exercise and sometimes even joining in!The training offered here is hands down the best I’ve ever experienced and seen. The trainers are all well qualified for whatever your desires are. Athletes here are pushed to levels that make them the best. Your everyday person can make and achieve their fitness goals with the training offered here.If you’re looking for an Aesthetics look there is also a very wonderful medical spa here run by one of the owners. Mrs. Henderson does an amazing job with the people she sees, and having seen the work she does I would highly recommend her!Overall this gym offers so much for pretty much any person. Very affordable prices with perks that are out of this world! Come check it out and join as it only grows to be the best gym this state has to offer!

I train with Brandon and he is the best trainer in the city hands down! He has made me such a better player and he pays attention to all the details that I need work with. Thank you for always making me better

My family and I have been going to this facility ever since it opened and we absolutely love it! Not only is it clean, the equipment is in great shape, and everyone is incredibly nice. All of the trainers are professional and very kind. As a 21 year old woman, I have never once felt uncomfortable here. I would recommend this gym to anyone and I am highly confident that the trainers have never been anything less than professional. They have become like a family to us and I appreciate them all!

A wonderful gym!!! Very clean and the staff is wonderful friendly. I’ve never been to a gym where the staff is so willing to help you reach your goals. I highly recommend this gym

I have been training since last October and it has been a great experience to me not just to be more active as far as exercising and routines but more disciple overall. Dexter has taught me a lot and helped me every step of the way by lifting right, eating healthier and helping me reach the goals I never thought I could do.

Great staff working at this place! nice atmosphere and excellent machines! Love it.

Amazing, safe, clean place been here for a few months wouldnt go anywhere else

Very disturbed by a review I just read regarding the environment at A&A. There is nothing further from the truth. I have trained at several gyms around the city; however, none have had a true family feel like A&A. The moment I walked into this gym to check it out, I knew I needed to be part of this gym.I then met the owner Dex, who was friendly and showed genuine concern for his clients and their fitness. I joined the same day and signed up for personal training with him. This was the best decision Ive ever made because a few months later, I am stronger and more fit than ever before. Dex encourages me daily and never lets me quit. He is the same with every member in the gym. He is a person who walks through the gym constantly and says hi to everyone. He stops to encourage people and to help them if he sees they need some help with a machine or an exercise. I love being at this gym, the music is motivating, and encourages everyone to workout hard. This is what a gym environment should do.I have never seen the environment described by Savhanna Martinez below. I am loyal to this gym and I encourage anyone to visit because you will see her description is nothing further than the truth. Dex is loyal to his clients and he does spend time with each of us, helping us become better every day. Everyone treats everyone like family and that shows in all interactions that take place between members, trainers and most of all with Dex.

Great gym, had a problem with billing on my part and they worked with me the same day. Great staff and trainers they are always helpful

The best gym you’ll ever work out at. State of the art equipment and very knowledgeable trainers. Classes almost every night for every different body type. The only gym I’ll work out at in Albuquerque!

I’m writing in response to the horrible review that was posted earlier today. This is definitely a jab at not only A&A, but the owner as well. I am disappointed by the individual that is trying to make a stab at such an amazing facility and person. I have my own experience that I would like to share about the (owner) Dexter and his staff/facility as well.I have been training with Dex for over a year and have experienced great results in weight loss as well as my overall health. Everyone at A&A has been very professional and courteous, mostly becoming like a family. The group classes are awesome as well as private training. I would highly recommend going to the gym and seeing for yourself the type of environment and atmosphere the gym has to offer. I have had several friends join and train privately because of the results I have had through my training with Dexter Henderson. He has been nothing less than amazing to me and all my friends who continue to praise him for what he does. Whoever this person is, clearly has no clue the type of person Dexter truly is. He is amazing at what he does, very empathetic and caring towards all his clients and members, a stand up family guy who absolutely loves his wife and family, and will bend over backwards for anyone to see them succeed. I know his wife wasn’t mentioned in this previous post, but she is co-owner of this amazing facility and sets a standard that this facility has upheld from day 1. They are an amazing power couple, and of course someone would want to hate on this. Keep doing what you do A&A and Dex, let people continue to try and bring you down. You are the best and we all love you and your fitness family

This is my gym! I’ve been there since it opened and will be there for as long as my body allows me to push through and exercise! The price is right, the equipment is fantastic, many other members feel like family and it is my place to go when I need a mental break. The gym has a personal feel to it, and doesn’t feel like a big corporate money hound. There are lots of great and diverse trainers to lend a hand or give advice. The owner is always on the floor, which I have yet to see at any other gym ! He is a very knowledgeable trainer and when I first started I used to train with him and text him all the time to ask questions about nutrition, workouts or when I thought I might had injured something. He was always available to answer all my newbie questions. He still does this for many others! Go Dex 💪

This is an amazing place they have equipment ive never seen in any other gym amazing people who want to help you better yourself. Also very clean the equipment is wiped every hour

This gym be hittin and they got a mean bench press machine.

The gym is great, love all the new equipment. I was very excited to workout here. I was working with one of the best trainers in town. First month I signed up I received bad training support from my trainer at the time. Expressed my concerns (anyone paying for any type of service expects to get what they paid for) my trainer was unsupportive and careless to my personal needs and took it upon himself to block me. I took my concerns to the Manager (Dex). I wasnt at this gym for 30days before I decided I wasnt going to stay working out there. I reached out to Dex about how I was feeling. He threaten to take me to court if I didnt pay for a full year of membership. Remind you I wasnt even there for 30days. It was a huge waste of money and time. Personal trainers / management is not great & makes the gym not a place I would want to be to become a better virgin of myself.

Id like to reply to a JOHN DOE. Im sorry the day you came I had so many clients to look after. My wife is fully aware of my attentiveness with my clients. So to refer to me as a complete creep is a bit out of hand. Also your negativity and slander isnt welcome at our gym. So I really hope you find somewhere that suits you better so you can attain your fitness goals. Im trusted by my clients and gym and Im very good at what I do. I wish you luck and good health.Sincerely, BLACK MAN WITH THE BANDANNA

This gym is the absolute best in the city! I have had memberships and trainers at big and small gyms throughout the city and this is, hands down, the place to train. Their prices are unbeatable for gym membership and personal trainers. Warm, friendly, welcoming, encouraging and a place for anyone and everyone. The trainers are fantastic always available to encourage and assist. I see competitive body builders, high school athletes, young, old, overweight, underweight, all working together and none feeling out of place. Every type of equipment is available from free weights to kettle bells to the best machines available. Combine that with great cardio equipment and you have the best in the city.

Awesome gym. You want to see changes that other gyms don’t give. Go here! Good vibes. All the trainers are awesome. However, my trainer was Eddie and his results are freaking amazing. The only thing is the weekend hours are a bummer and no locker rooms.

I LOVE A&A, the environment is so motivating and the equipment is top of the line clean and really gets the job done. The owner Dexter Henderson is an amazing trainer who really has a passion for this gym and it really shows! I highly recommend to anyone in search of a new gym because you most definitely won’t be disappointed!!

I have been training at A&A since October 2018. First off, this gym has a great vibe and some of the best equipment (a lot of which isnt available at any other gym in the city). I was impressed by the layout, how well kept it is, and also that they have a beautiful Med Spa. The owner, Dex initially gave me a tour and shared his background and experience as a trainer and in opening this gym fairly recently in 2018. After having my first personal training sesh with Dex, I immediately signed up for a membership. I have been getting personal training with Dex 3 to 4 times every week since I signed up. I am very particular about my training as I have been working out in the gym 6 days a week for the past several years and working out is a huge part of my life. I have been to almost every gym in the city and have worked with several trainers over the years. Training with Dex has completely helped me step up my workouts, he has helped me work on and correct my technique and form, and he has been able to help me train thru various injuries I have had. Dex is very professional, aware, attentive and knowledgeable in his way of training, which I really appreciate and has really encouraged me in my fitness journey. He has helped me by creating a customized training plan and daily regimen, including a daily meal plan, to help me stay on track based on my weight and measurements and fitness goals that we track and adjust weekly. Since I started training at A&A, I have definitely been pushed and motivated and have seen more results than I have in all my previous years of training. I highly recommend this gym for its atmosphere, the entire A&A staff and trainers, their equipment, and that extra motivation that we all need. Overall, I give 5 stars.

A&A has been by far the best fitness facility I have been a part of. The Customer service experience with A&A has been remarkable, new and refreshing . Most definitely the best equipment in town, the cleanliness is above and beyond. A&A is an all fitness level home and finally Dex and his professional staff are heart warming individuals with passion and focus. Simply AMAZING!!!!

I think the gym has a huge variety of equipment and a nice vibe. Always trainers on staff to help. The music is good and it’s extremely motivating to be there

Best Gym in Albuquerque!!! New equipment and the place is Always Spotless! Dexters group of trainers has the Perfect match for everyone ! Kids/teen programs on up! Stop by for a tour! Youll be Impressed! 💪💎🎶

So I wasnt able to go to the gym in 5 months because of the distance, however I was still being charged for use of the gym. Concerned; I came in and calmly asked to speak with Dex. I was worried it would be a struggle to negotiate a cancellation.Dex sat down with me and discussed options for payment on my contract. Hes very understanding and willing to work with his clientele. Hes a professional and conducts himself as such.We worked out a wonderful solution. And im happy with the result. The facility is awesome and its getting bigger! I recommend it very much so. 💯💯💯💯Knowing the power that is peace can lead to compromise and solutions that everyone can agree with.

Ive been working out with the trainers here since before A&A opened, for a couple of years now. The owner, Dex, is one of the most welcoming, motivating, and easy to get along with people Ive ever met. I get pretty bad anxiety in gyms, so I honestly consider him to be one of the key reasons Ive continued to work out in general. The fact that A&A has damn good trainers is another key reason. (Ive been trained by Shy for over a decade now, so I personally vouch for her)

Great gym, great trainers, great experience, 10/10 would recommend
