You guys, don't hesitate; run to a class! I'm currently signed up for a free week trial and I've never felt more comfortable during a (pretty intense) workout class. And feel great about myself! It's a pretty simple set up, you walk in and that one room is all. So it's not as big as other locations, but that's okay because you have all the room you need. There are cubby's for personal item and water fountains (can't remember if there is a bathroom). And then the rest is the workout floor! I recommend researching what makes F45 unique because they have so many different classes. Short and simple, the class is set up in stations and you rotate through them. So you don't have to set anything up or put anything away. There are two personal trainers walking around the room and the demonstration and timer for your station are on a screen in front of you. My biggest ehhh about F45 is that it's all on the screen..cool but I feel like it's a bit of $$$ for a less than personal interaction during my station. Also there is minimal warm up and no cool down. Would love to see a 5 min stretch incorporated. Overall, this location was so welcoming and inviting and pushed me to my limits without me unsafe. Even though your station is on the screen, the trainers were always helpful and helped with form and modifications. Loved coming here and will see what I decide after my free trial!

I was happy to find SHED open the morning of Thanksgiving to get in a workout before indulging in…read morean eating holiday. To try out the gym as a first time customer, the cost is only $10 for a class, so I decided to go to a SHREDDER class and set up a profile online, then was able to easily book a class. The first thing that was a bit frustrating the day of my class was that I had difficulty locating the studio. I came on foot and didn't park in the garage so I walked around trying to see the signage and had trouble. I finally found it after multiple missteps not realizing the gym is located on the 2nd floor of the building. The elevator situation was more complicated than it should be and entry through the garage is much easier. Once inside I had to wait a bit before the class started, which I thought was odd. I waited at least 10 minutes over the class time that was posted online which was a bit confusing, but I was able to sign in with a very helpful staff member who ended up teaching my class. The class I attended had different sections of exercises which were cutely named after Thanksgiving meals like "Turkey and Stuffing" etc. If you take this class, be aware that it's up to you to decide what you want to do and it's not very structured and more "choose your own adventure." The instructor will go over each section but then they let you loose and you have to decide where to go. I guess when I go to a class I like to shut down and let the instructor guide me the entire hour, so I found myself repeating more exercises than I would prefer and the class didn't go by as fast as they normally do when I'm just following along. However, it was definitely a good workout and I pushed myself despite being slightly lost at times. I am also a bit wary of expensive glam gyms because they can be intimidating but I definitely felt more comfortable here than a place like Barry's Bootcamp. The instructor was super helpful and provided some adjustments and assistance when needed without being overly annoying about it. I thought he was a great instructor! Also, they have an interesting treadmill that is super challenging, even for someone who is a pretty decent runner! Overall, I enjoyed visiting SHED and appreciated the pre-Thanksgiving workout!

What really makes this gym special to me is the programming. The workouts involve coach led stretching that mitigates injury. They are also extremely challenging and fun. The programming is absolutely amazing I've never felt better or stronger. I'm a bit of an introvert and there is no big awkward social interaction buy-in. Lastly OTE isn't the largest nor does it have the newest equipment. It is the cleanest and most organized the culture encourages that.

She was even super helpful about the music and lights in the studio, providing me information about how to use both during my rental. She gave me privacy throughout the rental, but she was in the room next-door in case I needed anything. It's Tennessee, though, so it felt a little more humid than my usual home studios! Poles and floor are in great shape, and they easily swap with the quick-lock tech from X-Pole. Restroom was clean and easily accessible and stocked with band-aids and hair ties and other period products if needed. (I believe the restroom was up a stair, though, for accessibility purposes.) Parking lot is a little small and has seen better days; if you can choose between a compact car or a big-ass truck, your compact car will be able to better get back out of here. Great to see it has a private lot though. Beautiful, photogenic pole studio with a really friendly studio owner.

Unfortunately, I can no longer recommend this particular location/ franchise and will be encouraging my friends who have joined to also leave to go elsewhere.

The way they treat their instructors is not something I want to support. Beware of this studio.

I was really excited to finally meet her. She lived up to every bit of the hype. It's nice to have representation in these spaces. I took her Reformer Flow 1.5 class and it was challenging in the best way. Her 90s R&B playlist kept me motivated the entire time. She has such a sweet, welcoming personality and makes everyone feel supported. Her energy is calming, and I left feeling more grounded and in a much better mood. The studio itself is beautiful. It is spacious, clean, and very well organized, which makes the experience even better. I plan on booking 1:1 private sessions with her in the future. I did get a little lost finding the location at first. It is directly next to M.L. Rose, and there is free two-hour parking available, which was a plus. If you're thinking about taking her class, just do it.

The screens show the workout so it's nice to follow along. As someone who isn't the most experienced in fitness, I felt comfortable and there is usually a coach who will help with adjusting weights or providing modifications when needed. It's also nice that you are doing the workouts "with other people", but you have your own lane to do your own thing. I also love that they have an infrared sauna and two lanes for open gym. Talk about flexibility for our busy schedules! There's a class every 7 minutes for pretty much an entire day (even in the middle of the day), so this allows me to come whenever I have time and I will never miss a class here. Ashley, who is the owner, is the absolutely best! She made my friend and I feel so welcomed all week. We love to see a woman-owned gym and she's just an amazing person! During the week, I also got to know Keith and Myles, and they were awesome, encouraging, and really helpful. Highly recommend everyone to try this gym. They have a week trial and I got hooked after my trial and signed up!

If you have authority issues like I do because you had a traumatic childhood and sometimes when you get yelled at you freeze, but still need guiding during a workout, then this place is for you my friend! And there is usually dogs here which makes my heart so happy and is my fun reward for post workout. I will run barefoot through hot broken glass if it means I get to cuddle a puppy afterwards.
