Best Gym In Memphis! It is a smaller gym but has everything you could possibly need and more. Plus the local owners are very down to earth and the overall environment is great.

So many group fitness classes you could do a different one everyday of the week and still have more to choose from. Clean, friendly environment. Knowledgeable and encouraging owners, staff and instructors! Plenty of equipment and weights to keep healthy, strong and energized.Love EMAC!! G.G.

Best gym in Memphis!! The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. If you're not sure how to get started at the gym, join one of the classes (included in the gym membership) they're totally worth it!

4 calls over an hour span during normal business day time hours, let phone ring as long as my patience allowed, not one person decides the answer the phone when trying to join.Immediately sets a standard that you know the business won’t be up to par with even the most average gym somewhere else.Edit: to the owner asking to be reached out to… that was 2 months ago. You can literally see the day this was posted…. Not hard to figure out.

This is the 7th gym I am trying out in Memphis in 4 years. It is the best one I have found. They are committed to your success with a wide range of classes and equipment. Everyone from the owners to the coaches personally follows up to make sure you are satisfied and implement your suggestions within days. They also have a dietician, physical therapists, medical professionals on their coaching roster. Highly recommend! Big shout out to Brian, Josh, Natalie, Nic and all the coaches for making this a 5 star experience.
