East Memphis Athletic Club

I wish it were bigger because it's actually a great gym. I predict it will move to a bigger space in no time.

I first started at this gym several years ago. After working with the staff, I was able to meet fitness goals I never thought possible and stuck with them for more than a year. Shortly after, I moved out of state and attempted to maintain my weight loss progress on my own with poor results. Since then I've tried large corporate chain gyms and doing programs on my own, but nothing has been effective as Team Training at EMAC. After moving back to the area, I decided to return to the gym and am back on the right track. The staff is incredibly friendly and on a first name basis with clients which helps keep me accountable. The classes are challenging but can be scaled to my individual fitness level. For someone who is starting from scratch like me, the environment is supportive and not at all intimidating. I look forward to returning to EMAC for years to come. Highly recommended!

Great gym. Best trainers around

Best gym in Memphis, hands down. Josh, Emily, and staff know exactly how to provide a top notch space to get some ridiculously good workouts in. I love the free flowing layout and training alongside other goal driven athletes. Thankful there's a better alternative to all these big corporate gyms.

A great local gym where you can take classes with top notch instructors including BodyPump, spinning, and yoga. Team training HIIT and TRX sessions with personal trainers happen throughout the day. There's a good variety of equipment including Olympic Lifting platforms and CrossFit cage and rings. The only gym in East Memphis with a sauna! Childcare in the morning and evenings. No long term contract required for membership. Love the community feel of this place!

I was denied membership because of a hearsay rumor a member of the staff had heard about me. Don't expect this place to stay in business long. So many other gyms have been in the same space and not succeeded and that was before there was any competition near by. There is an LA Fitness in the same shopping center that is superior in almost every way.

Great local gym with friendly staff and a wonderful community feel. EMAC offers a plethora of classes and the fitness instructors are motivating, encouraging, and helpful.

I am very happy to have found this gym. The staff has been nothing but friendly and helpful every day I am there. There is plenty of equipment (cardio and weights) to go around - I've never had to wait or compromise. I LOVE the classes. I admit I was nervous the first time I took each class, but not only were the instructors very welcoming, so were the other participants. I highly recommend this gym. It's clean and comfortable, and has something for everyone, no matter your level of fitness (from serious lifters to self-conscious beginners).

Great gym with a caring staff. It is a place where you always feel comfortable and welcome. It's not overcrowded and inaccessible like other big gyms. They have great team training, cycling, group classes, and even places to do power lifting which is rare in a non-crossfit gym. They also have a rig!
