You want a hot body? You better work, bitch!

While we all thank Britney for providing us with our workout motivation, you might be wondering where, exactly, you can get that hot body. Fortunately, there are plenty of options in Midtown alone for getting in those workouts. Here are some of the hottest spots in our community.

Gravity Fitness

2201 Faulkner Rd • 404-486-0506 • gravityatl.com

If your goal is to get your body in shape to look good dancing shirtless at Jungle, you may want to check out the gym in the same complex. Gravity Fitness, which was upgraded throughout 2013 by new owners Michael Yadich and Michael Wido, goes all-out to make you look good. Aside from the workout equipment and personal trainers, Gravity also offers massage therapy, tanning, a smoothie bar and an in-house hair salon. And if you want to give Gravity a try or two before joining, call or visit to find out about their free trial passes.
