I left due to the conditions and I was not comfortable with training in a former church. The owner would jokingly and relentlessly pick on certain people insinuating they were gay which also made me uncomfortable. When I left I had billing issues. I would not recommend this gym. Samuel, post actual pictures of your newest locations condition to prove this review wrong and I'll edit it. No AI fake photos.

Coming from the figure competition world the first thing I have to find is a gym I can train at and…read morecall home as soon as I move to Knoxville at the beginning of this month I was cringing at the thought that my only choices were national fitness planet fitness or anytime fitness. I think big box gyms have their place everyone has different reasons for why they entertain fitness in their life and I think that each one of them offer something for a specific client. For me whether I'm in off-season or training to compete I want a rugged gym and I want the equipment to be well-maintained I want to hear loud music over the speakers and I want to smell sweat and bodies at work! I don't want to see a bunch of rules posted on the walls about what I can't do weights I can't drop bills that are going to ring if I bring my gym bag on my gallon water jug to the floor and most of all I don't want to get hit with a 36 month contract in a bunch a high-pressure sales people telling me about how great their gym is if it doesn't sell itself when I walk in the door then it's not the right gym. All of that to say absolutely fell in love with this local gym the minute I walked in the door and I will tell you that it's not for everyone it has a certain style a certain laid-back vibe no pressure sales for gym memberships it's $30 a month. The equipment is immaculate and there is some thing to train every part of your body I love the different quadrants at the gym where you can fully focus on machines free weights tire work chain work and sprinters. I finally found a gym home and no matter where you are in your fitness journey from bodybuilding down to getting in the best shape starting exactly where you are I would highly recommend this gym. Maybe I can reopen my meal prep business here looks like there might be a need for Coaching In The Kitchen again

I was REALLY looking forward to this gym! I like frequenting locally owned gyms whenever possible!…read moreAnd from everything I saw, this gym looked to be pretty incredible. Unfortunately, when I arrived, there was a sign on the door stating they don't have any day passes. You can JOIN the gym, but to do so they need payment for your first and last month upfront, as well as your bank information for future payments. If I lived anywhere near here, I would have no problem doing that. But I am in the middle of a cross country trip with my dog, and will only be here till the end of my workout. To make matters worse, I hired someone to watch my dog while I worked out, so I wouldn't get in trouble for leaving her in my car. Now I have to find somewhere else to workout before they call to let me know it's time to pick up my dog. A simple statement on their website would have helped save me a ton of heartache before making my way to this gym, only to be turned away....

From my perspective the emotional intelligence piece of the practice is missing from this facility. After I wrote this review on Google I received a threatening text message from Mr. Hatcher requesting it be removed. There are plenty of good reviews which make sense as freebies are given for the positive remarks. I also think there are plenty of individuals who have positive experiences so long as you offer the owner and facility attention and praise regularly.

He wouldn't let us out of the contract so we still payed him thousands of dollars for a service we couldn't use.

He's literally a crook and sues everyone.
