    Shed Fitness East Memphis - I'm in the purple shirt in front of lululemon.

    I personally went to a fitness event with them in the front parking lot of lululemon and I brought…read moremy plus size friend. My friend and I pushed ourselves pretty hard. She ended up throwing up a few times. We got so much attitude and nasty looks from a couple of the instructors there. Kendyll was definitely the most rude. Might be a good place to go if you're already slim or fit. Not a great place to go for people like me, people who just got back into working out. I experienced an extremely unwelcoming culture to plus size people which is odd for a gym. At first I thought maybe I was imagining the rudeness being directed towards us but by the end of the event it was clear. Additionally, they took sooo many photos throughout the event of us working out. Me and my friend were literally the only people excluded from the photos they posted. The only photo I was in was a group photo. SHED reported my review to Yelp and they took down my original review citing that I wasn't actually at this event. I'm posting a PHOTO that matches my Yelp photo of myself at this event. There were snacks and drinks (smoothie king & Celsius) inside but that doesn't make up for the treatment. I also reported this to lululemon who sent me a personal apology to my email so shout out to them.

    Love the workouts. Great trainer. I will go back for sure. Classes are challenging but anyone can…read moreget through it. Gym was very nice.

    If you want to get in shape...this is your place…read more I am legitimately terrified of the classes here, but I know with every fiber of my being that if I want to lose weight, feel great, and kick some ass, this is where to go. You can lose upwards of 500 calories a class and sometimes people tell me that and I look at them all skeptical...but there is no doubt here...at all. I can barely walk the three days afterwards. Just bought some pink gloves and wraps so I can go here on the regular! I'm getting in shape, y'all!

    Are you out of shape? Are you "kind of" in shape? Are you super fit?…read more Are you a masochist? Whatever the case....if you live near this place and you're looking for a fun way to get in shape (treadmills are BORING) - check it out. I am visiting from out of town this week and I needed a place to work out....b/c all I do is eat when I'm in Memphis. I just happened to find UFK online via martial arts search and I'm glad that I did. They just moved to a new location and the facility is very nice. I've been taking the kickboxing classes every day this week and...YES!! I'M SORE! The lactic acid buildup is fabulous. The bags that they use are muay thai bags - so they're VERY solid/hard....great for conditioning the shins (if you plan on using them as lethal weapons). Every class I've taken this week has been different - Tony and John shake things up, keep it interesting, keep you moving....and if you're not soaked by the end of class, you're slacking. They also do personal training and other martial arts. Highly recommended.

    Wow! I will never be visiting this gym. I called and spoke to a girl name phoebe? And asked if they…read moreoffered new guests a free workout (I've had multiple gyms let me do this). She was extremely rude and laughed at me. I felt really hostile energy over the phone. I have been planning on looking for a new gym and know for a fact I wouldn't want to go to this place so thank you phoebe.

    I recently had to switch gyms after my old gym (French Riviera) closed down unexpectedly. Luckily,…read morethey made arrangements for us to workout at EMAC for a month while we were finding a new gym. Unluckily, French had somehow messed up my membership, so EMAC didn't let me workout there but let my wife (we were only a family plan at French). I didn't understand it, but I have my theories about what French was doing. I didn't feel EMAC handled it well, but it's not their fault. So I tried EMAC, and really enjoyed it, so did my wife. It's a little smaller than French Riviera and LA Fitness, has less equipment than them, but definitely has the essential equipment you would need for your workouts. Everything from rowing, to oly lifts, to traditional weightlifting, to green space for crossfit or HIIT workouts. They even have classes that are included in the membership. And it's never too busy to find space or equipment to use. They weren't able to give me the same discount French Riviera did, so we are basically paying twice as much for this gym, but hey, that's life. I'd definitely recommend this gym to anyone in the area.
