This is a cool spot in West Nashville for climbers of all levels! My husband and I recently signed…read moreup for monthly memberships, and we've loved stopping in for a climb a few times a week. Bonus - there's lots of free parking nearby! If you're a beginner (or even if you're an experienced climber in need of a refresh), there's plenty of instruction time during your first official visit. A team member will walk you through the ins and outs of climbing - from how to clip in with a carabiner to how to safely belay for a partner. There are plenty of auto-belays available on the second floor if you're climbing solo, and several traditional top rope courses on the first floor if you have a climbing partner. This facility even offers fitness and yoga classes as another membership perk. Climb is a very family-friendly establishment, and it's great to see so many young kids excited about climbing. Some of these kids are even better climbers than experienced adults! That said, I would love to see an adults-only night every so often ... even once a month would be great. The gym can get pretty busy during peak times, so you may have to wait a bit for the route you'd like to climb. It's unclear how often they change up the routes, but there's also something to be said about taking another stab at a familiar route and trying to improve your climb. So far our interactions with the staff have been helpful and friendly, and they even offer discounts for members looking to buy their own gear!

PROS: Huge bouldering gym. Coffee is served at the gym. They have a toaster to warm your food. They…read morehave a workout section that is small, but has everything needed to get the body ready to move. Moon wall for practicing crazy climbs, competing with friends, + bettering skills with self made routes. The restrooms are clean and neat. On your way to the restroom they have lockers for your belongings. their route setters do a great job with creative routes, both for low and high grades! CONS: While traveling the USA to rate gyms, the worst thing is always a "Shirt on policy". When climbing some like to be free and mandating shirts is a no go at any gym. The atmosphere in the gym is a bit different than other CLIMB owned gyms. You will fill as though you are more so climbing alone than as a climbing community.

Cool gym. They've got a chalk problem though. It looks foggy in there when you walk in. Take a look…read moreat the back of the Kilter Board. Literally an inch and a half of chalk on the wires there. That could be one of the reasons the kilter board is frequently broken. I know they have been trying to address the chalk problem by vacuuming more but it has not solved the issue. This place has different chalk eaters than West or East so something technical is wrong here. Like I said, love the gym it'll just be so much better once they get a handle on the chalk.

The Crag Nashville is clean, the employees are friendly, and they're very reasonably priced…read more I recently started a membership at the Crag, and me and my husband have been thoroughly enjoying learning the ropes (literally) of climbing and bouldering. The staff are always so helpful, and private instruction has been useful. Everyone is always willing to cheer for you and lend tips and beta when asked. We especially love being able to visit later on weeknights after work and have the gym largely to ourselves. I highly recommend to anyone looking to try climbing for the first time or join a climbing community.

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.

I joined. How could…read moreI not? I have been posting and promoting Team Green Adventures events to the Yelp events section for the last 4 months and appreciate this organization more and more each month. There is literally something for everybody who has any interest in jumping off the couch and being active. From free sand volleyball games and weekly discounted group rock-climbing meets to East Nasty's running group and weekend adventure trips, there is always something on their comprehensive calendar of events! I was originally tempted to join when Yelp partnered up with TG during our January Elite Event at Climb Nashville but with the Earth Day promotion going on now that discounts the membership from $50 to just $10 through the end of April. Let's be honest though... $50 for a yearly membership isn't something to cry about either. If you plan to be more active especially during the gorgeous Spring and Summer months, maybe this tiny investment can help guide the way?

Team Green, affiliated with local radio station Lightning 100 (which everyone should be listening to!) promotes an active healthy lifestyle while learning about and supporting your Nashville community. For an extremely low price ($35 for the year) you can join TG and take advantage of discounts around town as well as an action-packed events calendar with things like rock climbing, hiking, ropes courses (I did one of these, wow it was awesome), bike rides, and day trips for camping as well as volunteer opportunities throughout Nashville. You have the chance to win prizes as a member like concert tickets and there are discounts offered at local stores. They participate in local events like Earth Day and the Dragon Boat races. This is a great group for anyone, of all ages, backgrounds, work schedules, etc. This isn't a singles group or a married people group or a only-go-with-people-you-know group...this is Nashville at its finest, people out to experience and explore and help their community and be active within it. I am so happy to be part of such a great group of friendly like-minded people. If you live here, you should be a part of Team Green, plain and simple.

Normally SkyZone is a great place!…read more Unfortunately there was a group of undisciplined , entitled, and disrespectful preteen boys there for a birthday party who thought they owned the entire park. The parent with them was completely ineffectual and did not admonish the boys for continuing to blow the whistles after they were asked by the staff to stop. The parent was too busy not paying attention to be of any help at controlling her own group. The whistles as a prizes are a safety hazard because it would be difficult to distinguish ref whistles from the ones given as prizes to children whose parents haven't taught them to behave. Would not recommend noisemakers as prizes.

I'm an avid gym goer and have seen a ton of different gyms over the years and nothing has measured up to this. Indoor track, indoor pool, indoor field, countless group fitness classes, Racquetball courts, squash, a rock climbing wall, different cardio & weight rooms... need I go on?! I'm an especially huge fan of their group fitness classes, especially spinning and Zumba. I haven't been to a single class that has disappointed me. It gets particularly busy during the beginning of the semester but levels out as the year goes on. If you google the Rec center, it has a live feed of how busy it is too, just in case you're not looking to throw some elbows trying to get your workout in. I also learned this past weekend that if you're a vandy student, your family can work out with you for free. Definitely a resource you should take advantage of if possible.

The part I would comment on and is no fault of theirs necessarily, is the difficulty in parking. The garage next to it is impossible to get into at certain times of the day, if turning left.

But as I've gotten :::welp::: older, I've started to worry more about my overall health and being strong over skinny. That's why when I moved to Nashville 6 months ago, I decided to give Pure Barre a try. And from day 1 I was hooked. It definitely takes a bit to learn proper form and some of the moves are so hard at first, but the teachers are so encouraging, learn names, make you feel welcome, and the whole studio is a great community to be a part of. And it doesn't hurt that they have super cute leggings and other workout gear for your shopping pleasure as well! The unlimited packages are definitely the best deal if you work out regularly (but you sign up for each class regardless-a great motivator!), and don't worry about getting bored/stuck in a rut. They have a classic class, an empower class (cardio focused), and a reform class (core focused-similar to Pilates), and the teachers learn new material on the regs. If you're looking to tone and lengthen in a supportive environment, give PB Green Hills/PB White Bridge a try!
