You can also enjoy classes like Core and More, which is a 60-minute Pilates class that focuses on balance training and engaging your core. When you finish your workout or class, you can head to the locker room for full use of the showers, steam rooms, and dry saunas.
Alvin’s Gym
Alvin’s Gym is a smaller gym in Savannah, and it’s located on Water’s Avenue behind Street Beats.

It’s also rarely crowded, meaning you can access the equipment you want without having to wait for other people to be finished with their turns. While you’re here, you can get in a full-body workout thanks to the accessibility of barbells, free weights, treadmills, ellipticals, and other equipment.
As far as plans go, you’ll have ample choices so you can only pay for what you need. There are individual plans that let you access all cardio and strength equipment and the on-site lockers. If you want to try the gym out a few times to see if it’s right for you, you can go for just $8 a day. You can also pay for plans on a weekly, monthly, or yearly basis. There are even three-month and six-month rates.
If you plan to get in shape with your family, you can also sign up for the discounted family rates that anyone with the same last name and home address can use. Still, there are special discounted rates for law enforcement officers, military members, and students.

The first is the Beginner On-Ramp, which consists of six one-hour sessions or 12 30-minute sessions that help you build your fitness, skills, and knowledge.
