Meh. GFA isn't exactly what I expected in a gym. Maybe it works for some, but it's just not up to…read morepar in my book. I've had plenty of different gym memberships across town depending on where I lived at the time - but I won't be back to this one. Let's start with the good. Location is great, fees are not bad, small gym (which is fine). These are initial observations when I signed up. Now, we shimmy on over to the "not-so-good" part of the review. I got to GFA at 5:45 AM and popped into the restroom really quick. Very dirty restroom. Honestly... disgusting. So I simply deduce either a) no one cares to clean up after themselves here or b) no one is on staff during the night to make sure the customers needs are being met. I took pictures to share, but I'll spare you (you're welcome). Not a deal breaker, but not an amazing start. The first treadmill I jumped on didn't work (touch screen controls seemed to be completely dead). No big deal. The second didn't work either (same issue). The third treadmill took a lot of work to get going, but it finally worked. I noticed that there was a TON of dirt caked inside the treadmill air vents (I included a picture) which are pointed directly at your face while running. Also, not awesome. I ran with a wince for 45 minutes. Additional observations. Weight room is very small (don't love to workout in tight spaces - again, personal preference), there are no showers, and FOX news was blaring all morning. Unfortunately at this time, I cannot recommend GFA and will not be extending my membership. I hope your experience is better than mine should you choose them for your local gym.

Luckily, we were only 10 minutes from Gym 5, and my older sister knew someone who worked there. The front desk staff was super helpful and welcoming--they made sure we had everything we needed and even gave us a quick tour. The gym's setup is fantastic! Cardio is upstairs, while everything from weights to outdoor rec and boxing setups is downstairs. I especially loved the outdoor workout space--it's such a nice touch. The gym was super clean, well-organized, and had a respectable, positive environment. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

If you wanna have an increase in gains just walk through the door!! This gym literally has everything you need to get a diagnosis of swoliosis from your Dr. From the owner to the front desk workers this gym is a vibe.. Each and every trainer there is in shape and a subject matter expert, and the fact they have an outdoor area with turf is a sickkk bonus feature to add to the vibe.. not to mention they literally have the worlds strongest man who works out there too.. The place is clean.. it's unique.. it's all that and a bag of chips.. as soon as I walked in I didn't even need a tour I looked around and in 0.3 seconds I found home again Gym 5 is literally the best gym in Nashville. If you disagree your probably a Karen or a communist

The location itself isn't very spacious, which in itself isn't a very big issue, but the…read moreutilization of space isn't done well. Climb west Nashville is a massive step up in layout space and design. And Murfreesboro location is by far the best Stairs located in the middle "hangout area" very overcrowded, mats only 6 or so feet from the walls, which puts everyone watching on the edges of the mats and center of the gym with no room to walk anywhere. Holds are the worst I've experienced in gym climbing, many of the holds are loose, and it seems like there are way too many routes set to perhaps make up for the fact that there isn't a lot of wall to work with, but the route setters must be high, arrows pointing in wrong directions with no clear start holds identified on most v2-v5 routes. Lastly the largest section of the climbing area is the cave, which nobody seems to use or at least is under utilized, just go to Murfreesboro or West. Seems like they need a max capacity or a website to book times on to free up some space, also they need to have some route setters from a different location to come to the rescue. Overall super friendly climbers and staff!

Apparently you have to go online to do it but that was not communicated as it should've been. There was then months of accruing charges after that. Fast forward a few months and it became a whole annoying to do contacting people all the way up to the GM to get my account back in good order so I could climb again.

It smells beautiful in here, which is odd to say but if you've been to a stinky gym you know what I mean. The space is well designed and maintained. There is literally always someone cleaning/polishing/maintaining here, which I love. I'm mildly a germaphobe¿ this is a late in life development for me. The staff is so hot and friendly. You walk up through the cafe (get the strawberry protein matcha) and are greeted by some of the most gorgeous people alive. I don't know about you but I love working out surrounded by pretty people, I'm always like "if I do this workout I'll look like you". I take classes here like 4x a week. I do a mix of weights, Pilates, and barre. I love all of them, it's genuinely always one of my favorite parts of my day. Shoutout to Sarah, Dylan, Amy, and Tyler for kicking my ass every week. You could not ask for more informative, encouraging, and flawless people. They also never mind when I go "fuuuuuck" during class, or literally "fuck you" directly at them (sorry Dylan!!) as they murder me in a variety of toning ways, which is nice. There's also cold eucalyptus towels in the corners of the building which make the workout so worth it. That, and Calvin. Iykyk. Okay love y'all I'll see you tomorrow

I've been going to a great gym in Franklin for a while, but the traffic and scheduling difficulties…read moremade me decide to start looking for a new gym closer to home. I narrowed it down to Iconix and the downtown YMCA. So I scheduled a tour of Iconix. I was mostly paying attention to the weight room, as I focus on resistance training. The weight floor was huge, clean, and they had several lifting platforms set up in a way where you have your own little defined space. I went right around 6:30 on a weekday and there were plenty of spots open. They had a huge cycling studio that looked a lot like the Peloton studios, so if you're into cycling, that seemed nice! The cold towels were a nice touch. Parking was a little painful because you have to remember to validate every time. There were plenty of spots available in the garage though. Pricing was high if you were paying month to month, but if you commit to at least a year, it's starts to be pretty reasonable compared to the Y. Personal training pricing was comparable to other gyms as well. Ultimately I chose the Y for now because it's less commitment, and there's a location by my house and by my office. If it starts to get too busy for me, then I'll give Iconix another look.
