Our Approach

We truly believe that fitness is an achievable goal for anyone regardless of his/her current fitness level or available time to devote to a fitness program.  With this in mind, we offer a wide variety of classes, programs and services and make many of these options available 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.

Our Story

Opened by the Bowles family in 2014 and then acquired by the Watts family in early 2015, Bulldog Gym serves as the premier fitness and wellness center in Jasper County, Georgia (see gym timeline here). Since its inception, the facility has continued to grow in both size and membership. With a full arrangement of free weights, circuit machinery, cardio equipment, various professional fitness assessments and fitness clinics, the gym is a one-stop-shop for anyone looking to improve their physical fitness. In addition to equipment, the gym also has one-on-one personal training and many group fitness classes delivered with both live instructors and 24/7 streaming content. With a dozen personal trainers and group fitness instructors, Bulldog Gym has evolved into a facility where everyone has an opportunity to become their best self.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to motivate individuals to achieve their fitness goals by eliminating barriers and excuses through innovative fitness programs, providing tools to measure their success, and providing a community of support. 

The Bulldog Way

WE BELIEVE…

FITNESS AND HEALTH ARE MULTI-FACETED

It’s important to look at your overall fitness level as a jigsaw puzzle. Strength, coordination, balance, endurance, agility and nutrition are all equal pieces of a complete picture. That’s why we strive to offer all the tools and classes needed to approach health holistically and to maximize your improvements.

EXCUSES ARE MEANT TO BE CRUSHED

It’s completely NORMAL to feel you lack time, motivation or knowledge. But with 24/7 access, group fitness classes for all and a variety of trained personal trainers available to members, excuses stop at the door. If you have something preventing you from becoming the best you, we will help you find a solution.

WE ARE ALL STRONGER AS A TEAM

 Our biggest source of pride is our members’ attitudes towards one another. Members are more than happy to help another Bulldog in need, whether it’s a spot, a piece of friendly advice or just words of encouragement. Acceptance, Community and Friendliness make us all better Bulldogs.

EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO GOOD HEALTH

Whether you’re 95 and visiting a gym for the first time in 50 years, a college athlete trying to get a leg up over the competition during the summer, or a bodybuilder sculpting your physique for the stage, THIS is the gym for YOU! We have classes and equipment that can be used by everybody no matter their fitness level.

GOAL SETTING IS ESSENTIAL TO SUCCESS

Setting "SMART" (i.e. Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound) goals is the best way to achieve your desired results. We’re here to help you by offering fitness assessments, health screenings, clinics and even weekly challenges to help you measure your progress.

THIS IS WHAT WE BELIEVE. THIS IS THE BULLDOG WAY.
