Apex Personal Training - East

I have been working with the team at Meridian for over a year. What started as a “pandemic mental health exercise” has been transformative. My strength, flexibility, and overall fitness have improved significantly working with Jon Nestler and other trainers at Meridian. They are professional, knowledgeable, great communicators, and encouraging trainers no matter what your level of fitness or experience. Give them a call today and see how you can meet your fitness goals with Meridian!

I have absolutely loved my time with Meridian Training. Mari and Jon have been so great and supportive. The workouts are specific to each person and they both take the time to make sure you understand every detail. The facility is very clean and all of the equipment is nice. Highly recommend.

I started my fitness journey at the beginning of the year. Having to move 3 moths later I wanted to find a gym that would help and keep me accountable in reaching my goals. This is gym is it. From the atmosphere to the staff, I feel like I am home. I’m that person who feels awkward about going to the gym because I never know what to do. At meridian training I feel like I belong. Not only is there someone to help guide you but they also make you feel empowered by having you do it yourself. Hands down one of the best gyms I’ve ever been apart of. If you’re ever in or near Memphis this is the place to be!

My experience at Meredian Training had been really great. I highly recommend the gym for people of all fitness levels. The team listened to my goals, challenges with other gyms/programs and some of my weaknesses that I needed help with. They put together a customized a plan just for me that I can come in, put the work in, then go about my day. One of the unexpected benefits has been the community feel. Since we are small enough I have developed some new friendships with other members as we workout together. Finally, I can’t say enough about how much I love the staff. Mari, Garrett, John, Val, Lennox, make it fun to come to the gym and workout every time.

I have been a client at Meridian since it opened; previously I was a client at its sister gym, Apex Wellness, in Midtown for two years. Meridian offers a similar personal-training style that I was accustomed to at Apex with more flexibility in scheduling. Although I am a hybrid client and don’t have a “personal” trainer, the on-site trainers are very observant of every set that I do to ensure I am performing the exercises correctly and safely. Ryan and the other trainers collaborate in creating workout programs to help me meet my fitness goals while allowing me to work out at my own pace and on my own schedule. Meridian is a five star gym with five star trainers.

My wife Barbara started training at Meridian about a year ago and she has been transformed! I am extremely impressed with what the trainers there have helped her accomplish! I'm excited about what I can accomplish in the coming months. The folks there are friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. None better.

As soon as Ryan and the team opened Meridian Training, I immediately signed up. The trainers are highly qualified, seasoned, and probably most importantly, caring. The unique "hybrid" personal-team training structure offers amazing value and flexibility without sacrificing accountability or personal attention. Sometimes I workout to achieve goals, but mostly I do it to feel good and stay strong, creating the foundation that will hopefully last me a lifetime.

Love this place! I was nervous about starting personal training, but they met me where I was & are very positive, so it put me at ease. I've never worked as hard as I do here! The trainers are great. I'd recommend Meridian to anyone looking to make a real change.

In 2017 I had surgery to repair a torn ACL and that injury had a big impact on my strength and physical ability, even after recovery and physical therapy. Then in 2020 we discovered my 16 year old had a congenital heart defect that needed to be corrected ASAP via open heart surgery. After these health challenges, plus the pandemic and sedentary jobs/lifestyles, my kids and I decided it was time for a healthy overhaul. In February 2021 we signed up for personalized training with Jon and it was the most impactful health-related decision we’ve ever made. Meridian offers a unique training experience, with different levels of incredibly personalized instruction. The trainers consistently provide as much or as little hands on guidance as you need. Jon took the time to listen to us, discuss our injuries/health concerns and then build a program for us that has gradually evolved with our ability. We always leave feeling challenged but never so sore after a session that we can’t come back the next day. We’ve yet to work with a trainer at Meridian that didn’t give us the same amount of time and attention as Jon (especially Marie!). They offer sound, research-backed nutritional guidance if you need it, without encouraging forms of disordered eating (no fad diets, no expensive, unnecessary nutritional supplements). The gym is well equipped with new machines and weights. It’s always clean and never so crowded that you have to wait for someone to finish their set. The vibe is incredibly positive, kind and inclusive. I’ve never felt intimidated or out of place, even as an awkward beginner learning new skills. Last but not least, they’ve done a fantastic job of following CDC guidelines to help keep everyone safe during Covid. Because of all these things and I’m sure some that I’m forgetting, we’re still making long term, impactful health improvements working with Jon, Marie, Leah and Garret more than a year later.If you’ve wanted to make long term improvements to your health but you’re not sure where to start or if you’re a seasoned fitness pro who’s looking for a new gym home, you should make Meridian the next best health-related decision you’ve ever made too!

I have been working with Garrett at Meridian for about 3 months now. He has designed a work out routing that is specific to my needs. I enjoy the accountability and structured training routing I receive. Great place to work out at !!
