Onelife Fitness Announces 65,000-Square-Foot Flagship Club Coming to Hickory Flat, Georgia

Onelife Fitness has announced plans for a new flagship health club at 6375 Hickory Flat Highway in Canton, Georgia — officially branded as Onelife Fitness Hickory Flat. The club is a ground-up, purpose-built construction project spanning 65,000 square feet across two stories. It is scheduled to open in late 2027 and represents a $17 million capital investment by the McLean, Virginia-based operator.

Onelife Fitness operates health clubs across the East Coast and Southeast United States, positioning itself as a premium fitness option at an accessible price point. The brand runs more than a dozen clubs in the greater Atlanta metro alone, including a recently opened location at Hamilton Mill. Its clubs are designed around high-capacity group fitness, strength and cardio training floors, aquatics, and expanding recovery offerings — a format Hickory Flat will take to its largest expression yet in the region.

The Hickory Flat location is built to cover nearly every fitness and recovery need in a single destination. On the training side, members will have access to dedicated strength and cardio zones, expansive functional turf for sled work and conditioning circuits, and a boutique studio collection spanning a high-energy main group fitness studio, a mind/body studio for yoga and barre, and a dedicated cycle studio with coach-led rides. For recovery, the club will feature an indoor saltwater pool, hot tub, cold plunge, and a full Recovery Suite with red light therapy, HydroMassage, compression therapy, and percussion therapy. Additional amenities include spa-inspired locker rooms, a Kids Club childcare area, and outdoor training spaces — making it a viable option for both solo athletes and families.

Hickory Flat sits in Cherokee County, one of the fastest-growing suburban corridors in the Atlanta metro. The location at 6375 Hickory Flat Highway is strategically placed between existing Onelife clubs in Holly Springs, Woodstock, and Crabapple — filling a geographic gap while serving residents of Canton, Milton, and the broader Cherokee County area. The Southeast's rapid population growth, particularly in outer-ring Atlanta suburbs, makes the corridor a high-priority target for fitness operators looking to build long-term membership density.

Specific membership tiers and pricing for Onelife Fitness Hickory Flat have not yet been announced. Onelife Fitness positions itself as a premium-affordable club operator, typically offering memberships at rates below traditional luxury health clubs while providing an amenity set that competes with them. Pricing details are expected to be released closer to the club's late-2027 opening.

Hickory Flat is one piece of a larger Southeast growth strategy Onelife Fitness is executing across Georgia, Alabama, and the Carolinas. The chain's Atlanta footprint — already more than a dozen locations strong — continues to be among its most active markets on the East Coast, according to CEO Ori Gorfine. The Hickory Flat announcement follows the recent opening of the Hamilton Mill club and signals the brand's intent to deepen its suburban Atlanta presence before expanding into adjacent states.

Ori Gorfine, CEO of Onelife Fitness, described Atlanta as one of the brand's most dynamic East Coast markets and framed the Hickory Flat location as a natural next step in serving the community. In the announcement, Gorfine emphasized that the club is designed to be more than a gym — calling it a destination for the broader Canton-area community where members can connect, recover, and work toward their goals. He also highlighted the economic impact, noting that the project will create nearly 100 jobs in Canton, Georgia.

For residents of Canton, Holly Springs, Woodstock, Milton, and surrounding Cherokee County communities, Hickory Flat will deliver a level of amenities rarely available this far from the urban core of Atlanta. The combination of boutique-style studios, aquatics, a dedicated recovery suite, and family-friendly childcare in a single 65,000-square-foot facility gives local fitness-seekers a compelling alternative to driving into the city or settling for smaller suburban options. With a late-2027 timeline, there's still a window before doors open — but for anyone planning their gym membership around this area, it's worth tracking.

Onelife Fitness Hickory Flat is located at 6375 Hickory Flat Highway in Canton, Georgia, with a planned opening in late 2027. Prospective members can follow Onelife Fitness through its official channels for updates on the opening timeline, pre-sale membership offers, and grand opening events. GymStracker will continue tracking this location as construction progresses and an opening date is confirmed.
