Every time I get to come and spend a few weeks here I wish I lived in Knoxville so this could be my home gym. It's a fun, welcoming gym family and awesome facility that accommodates every level of gym-goer. Each year when I come for my holiday visit in Knoxville I'm excited to spend some time at Exclusive Fitness and sad to leave. By far the best gym atmosphere I've experienced in Knoxville and one of the top anywhere.

I must say that I have loved this place. Definitely the friendliest gym environment I have ever experienced. If I were living in Knoxville long-term, there is no doubt in my mind that I would make this my gym for years to come.

After trying several…read moreY and National Fitness, we found FSHFC to be the best and more family friendly gym in Knoxville. They seemed to do everything right; whereas other gyms in Knoxville only goes 90 percent. The facility is top notch, with lots of amenities like towel service and coffee. The equipments are well maintained. There are a ton of classes, with good instructors. The staff is very friendly. One our little ones had an accident, they even have extra pants for her. The only downside is that they are affiliated with Blue Fitness, for those who has BCBS. We ended up keeping our Blue Fitness for access to nationwide gyms and added this on top of our other gym access.

If you only want a gym, there are better gym memberships out there. They do offer group classes, but these have been cut back a lot. Would be nice if they started some small group circuit training in the gym. Their tennis facilities are great if you play. They do have an indoor and outdoor pool. Locker rooms are a little dated, especially for the price point.

Those who pay to take classes take precedence apparently. Don't pay $50 a month to go here. There are much nicer gyms in the area for the same price that don't have huge guided work out classes taking up half of the gym and equipment. Literally had an instructor steal the bench I was using and say she'd give it back in 30 minutes. All of that BS on top of the horrible parking situation where you'll pay $50 a month to get parking tickets, disgusting locker rooms, constant early closures and broken equipment. The only nice thing about this gym is the friends I've made.

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....

Sent an email to the manager, who did not have the professionalism to even respond. Staff training is terrible since most ( save one or two) could care less. Which means management is very poor.

We love you Old City Athletic Club!

There's enough equipment, including free weights, plate loaded machines, aerobic equipment, bands, medicine balls, etc to get in a great full body workout. The staff is receptive to suggestions for additional items. All items are new, from premium brands and in great working condition. The open gym room is available for member use when there's not a class in session, which are about 3-4 times daily during the week, including XGT cross training and yoga classes. We guess spin classes may resume post pandemic. Rumor has it they will soon expand into the space next door; otherwise it starts to feel busy with more than ten people there, especially if a class is in session. But I've not seen that. And other members have been friendly and space- conscious. And it's VERY CLEAN. All members are required to wipe down all the things after use, towels are provided and the staff is generally cleaning too. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. Thrilled to have this so close!
