Poe's Gym

It's a family environment. I always see the same friendly faces when I come in. I'm now in the best shape of my life. Really glad I started coming here!

Poe's Gym is a must visit gym; it mixes the old school gym feel with a surplus of lifting equipment and friendly staff. I was visiting Nashville and needed a gym to workout in (6 wks from a USAPL competition) and Poe's Gym was more than accommodating. Matt is an amazing owner; he has done it all, from competing at the highest levels, to coaching and running training programs for the Army. He met me at the gym and we talked about fitness goals and life. This is a must for anyone wanting to find a great gym with great people.

Needed a place to train while in Nashville on a vacation. This place is great and Matt is very welcoming. The rules are really enforced here unlike many other gyms where people leave a mess behind them. The other people training were friendly and I didn’t see anyone sitting on equipment texting. Thanks for running a real gym, Matt. I know where I’m coming to get a good pump next time I’m in Nashville.

Was visiting from out of town and was searching for a place to lift, this place was the top hit for "powerlifting gyms in Nashville". Definitely see why this gym is so highly rated. The owner Matt was extremely helpful and personable. The gym itself had everything you could need and had the best atmosphere. Highly recommend and will definitely return whenever I'm in Nashville!

Matt has an awesome gym in the Nashville area. I was looking for powerlifting equipment (specifically deadlift bars and heavy dumbbells) and if you’re looking for such equipment, this is the perfect place. If you’re just looking for a place to have a good workout, this is it.Matt is a great guy. He contacted me multiple times to make sure I had everything I needed and that I was making myself at home. He’ll walk you through all the equipment, give you a spot and help any way he can. You can tell he cares about his members and guests.Go to this gym if you’re in or around Nashville.

Matt is a stand-up guy and this is a great gym for powerlifting. He has every piece of equipment you could need and his energy is infectious as well as motivating. He has worked hard to build a culture that is friendly, supportive and serious about working out. I highly recommend this Poes Gym!

I’m from out of town and was visiting a friend who lives here in Nashville. Poe’s gym was more than welcoming when I first entered. Matt talked to me asking me where I was from, what I do, and what I was working on. Based off what I told him, he suggested the best equipment for what I was wanting to work on for that day and was an amazing experience. I’m wanting to own a gym in the future and this is how I would imagine it at the peak. Thank you so much Matt, made me feel like family walking through that gym.

I’m in Nashville for a week, and needed to find a place to lift and stumbled across Poes. Called the number online and Matt called me right back. He met me up there and showed me around the gym and helped me get set up for the next morning so I could lift early. Best gym I have ever been to!!! Has everything you need, a classic black iron gym. Matt is an awesome guy as well. Super helpful and responsive. Id recommend this gym to anyone, and hope I can come back again someday

During a trip to Nashville I had the luck of coming across Poe’s Gym. Matt and Josh were extremely hospitable. The place was clean, had all the equipment one could ask for, and a great atmosphere to lift. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and appreciate them welcoming me into their facility. I hope to come back again on my next trip to the area. Highly recommended.

Old School iron meets Southern hospitality. Poe's gym is a welcoming environment for anyone interested in getting stronger and meeting knowledgeable lifters, a truly inspirational gym. For Powerlifters and Strongman competitors a visit to Poe's Gym is an absolute must when you are anywhere near Nashville TN. Be sure to talk to founder Matt Poe and learn from the man himself. I came from California and I'm so glad I found Poe's Gym while visiting Nashville on business because commercial gyms do not have what serious lifters need, but Poe's does!!! Drop-ins are welcomed, egos are checked at the door, chalk is available but AC is not so come prepared for an awesome workout. 5 stars.
