Focus on your fitness at these gyms and workout studios around Nashville

Exercising doesn’t look the same for everyone — what’s fun and muscle-building for one person may be a slog for someone else.

Fortunately, Nashville is home to many opportunities for exercise, whether you enjoy lifting weights, dancing to hip hop tunes for a little cardio action, or boxing for a full-body workout. Use this guide as a resource for all things fitness in Music City.

Pro tip: Not sure which to try first? Try out multiple gyms with a free trial on ClassPass.

For those who want to kick up the cardio

Fit Factory Nashville, 207 Mcmillin St.

If you’re really serious about your fitness goals this year, explore the gym’s Barbell Club. Expect higher skill movements, time set aside for specific lifts, and scored metcons. Pro tip: If the lot fills up, you can find street parking on State Street and 15th Avenue North.

PRVN Nashville, 2600 Fessey Park Rd.

Class programming includes a strength portion focused on Olympic weightlifting, deadlift, squatting, or bodyweight strength. A workout programmed specifically for that day follows.

TRUMAV Fitness, 603 9th Ave. S.

Bootcamp-style classes offer curated circuits that focus on core muscle groups each day, from lower body (like glutes and hamstrings) to full body with an upper focus.

Nine reformer machines are lined up in a room facing four large gold full-length mirrors. Wooden beams hang overhead and equipment lines the walls on built-in shelving.

Try this: Forza Pilates offers a two-class package or unlimited classes in a two week teaser for first time clients.

For those looking for lower-impact workouts

Forza Pilates, 724 Merritt Ave. #103

Step into this spa-like studio for a contemporary reformer workout with limited class sizes — so you can expect personalized attention. Classes are broken up into varying categories: Forte, Foundations, Aria, and Recovery.

NuPower Yoga+Barre, 2218 8th Ave. S.

One size doesn’t fit all. That’s why you can choose the fitness focus that works best for you, from sculpt and barre to power, restore, and strength flows. Members receive unlimited visits, or you can opt for mini memberships, class cards, and drop-in visits. Deal: New students can try an unlimited number of classes in 15 days for $50.

YMCA of Middle Tennessee, locations vary

As many as eight pool-based group exercise classes are offered for a low-impact, full-body workout using the water’s natural resistance.

🏗️ The dirt on the new stadium’s construction

Tennessee Titans break ground on new Nissan Stadium

Hundreds of Nashvillians gathered at the site of what will become the Tennessee Titans’ new home yesterday for the stadium’s official groundbreaking ceremony.

As we know, the enclosed stadium is on track to reach the end zone by the 2027 season — but a few new details outline what we can expect to see play out in the next three years.

1,600. That’s the number of construction workers that will keep the project, which spans five football fields, moving on its busiest days. Pushing 430,000 yards of dirt and 18,000 tons of steel around with heavy machinery can be tricky, but officials are developing a schedule to ease the influx of traffic along the East Bank.

By next year, the building’s shell is expected to be complete. At the close of the 2026 season, Titans fans should prepare to say their goodbyes to the current Nissan Stadium, as its demolition will then begin in stages.
