Blanche Nicoll 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: This gym is functional yet also has lots of extras you wouldn’t expect. We love the pools and indoor track. The childcare is fantastic and safe which was our primary focus when choosing a gym. The day spa is an added perk.

Lovelace Team, Crye-Leike Realtors 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Pickleball friends are so much fun- great facilities.

Prasanna Date 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: By far the best fitness center on Knoxville. They have indoor and outdoor swimming pools, indoor and outdoor tennis courts, indoor basketball court, squash / racquetball courts, full fledged gym, indoor walking / running track etc. They offer over 100 instructor led classes like yoga, cardio dance, spin class, aquatics, cardio tennis etc. You could also opt for swim lessons, tennis lessons etc. but that has extra charges. For all the facilities they offer, their monthly price seems like a steal. During COVID, they are taking ample precautions.

Olivia Mason 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Fort Sanders has continued to impress me. The staff is friendly, it's reasonably priced for everything you get with the membership. What got me to write this review today was they're adding a new pickleball court. My special needs son absolutely adores playing pickleball with me on my days off work. We originally heard about when some woman was irrationally yelling at the GM for how dare you replace only 1 of the 10 tennis courts with pickleball, as if our feelings did'nt matter. I followed up with one of the managers to get more details and the nice young man explained to me that they were waiting on an exact date for their service company to give them, so they can give their members all the information they need. Fort Sanders, our family truley appriciates your professionalism and care for your members. You truely do NOT deserve these hate rants from these "Karens". My son has not stopped talking about the new court and we look foward to more information.

Josh Ward 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love everything about Fort Sanders Health & Fitness Center. The facility is A+ with the equipment, space, amenities and options that include indoor/outdoor pool and tennis court along with a basketball court and racquetball courts. The staff is top-notch, and personally, the childcare (which is included with the family membership) makes it possible for my wife and me to make it to the gym with two young kids at home. I also recommend taking advantage of the group classes that are included in your membership.

Melissa Moore 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been a member for only 2-3 weeks and have never joined a gym before so I didn't know what to expect. I love it at Fort Sanders! The facility is amazing, the staff is super helpful and friendly and it is easy to get to from my home in West Knox. Just a short drive down the Pellissippi. I swim for exercise in the indoor pool but there is a heated outdoor pool that stays open until the end of November. The life guard is very friendly and knowledgeable and he works hard at maintaining the pools. The locker room is great! Clean and stocked with essentials such as shampoo, hair dryers, etc. I'm thrilled to be a member here and recommend this place highly.

Matthew Shotwell 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Busy place with something for everyone. It's clean and well-run. Staff are friendly and don't give off that gym-rat vibe that I've experienced at other (big chain) gyms. The people here are a big mix of ages and fitness levels.

Fantastic experience: I used Fort Sanders West for cardiac rehab program and it was outstanding. The staff is very caring and knowledgeable.

Teri Subich 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: It's so friendly and upbeat that you really don't want to leave. The massage beds are worth 3x what they cost, swimming underwater is so peaceful, the workout equipment is second to none----altho I would hide the ropes instudio if I could find a place :). Once you get it into your system, you will wonder how you ever got a long without it. Mops hair salon is equally great. I've gotten my hair done twice at MOPs and loved it!

Breck Ellison 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: We've been members here for over a year and absolutely love it. The staff is just amazing - they go out of their way to ensure you have a great experience. The equipment is in good shape and they're always adding something new to try. The locker rooms are absolutely phenomenal. From the steam room and sauna to the hot tub and shower area everything is clean and well kept. If you're looking for somewhere to workout I highly recommend you check it out!!!

Fantastic experience: Your location              Maps Fort Sanders Health & Fitness Center 270 Fort Sanders W Blvd, Knoxville, TN 37922 Health Club Jeff Larkin 771 points 2 months ago We've been a member for years and will be for many more. It's a bit more expensive than other clubs around town, but the kids program is second to none. We've been taking our son there since before he could walk and he's now in their bigger kids program. Lots of group fitness classes, if that's your thing, and plenty of equipment on the floor. If all you want is the equipment, then you can find a cheaper gym, but if you want a gym with lots of options and a great kids program, this is the place.

Fantastic experience: We’ve been members for 2 years and love this facility. This aint just a gym, it’s a health club full with basketball court, tennis courts, outdoor and indoor pools, whirlpool, sauna, spa etc. Ample parking even in peak times when it can get crowded. I love the large showers after a workout, little expensive but worth the package, friendly folks, they have discounts for UT w/ ID

Krish G 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: My family has been enjoying this gym for 3 years now. Staff, childcare, instructors, classes and facility is very good.

Justin Wade 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Switched from NFC a few months ago. It may look and feel a bit older, but everything you need is there. Biggest plus is the staff. They're professional and courteous, unlike some other places that just try to sell you contract upgrades.

Andrea Schmidt 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Facilities are spacious and you can get a complete workout with what they have. There is basketball and swimming and I really appreciate how the locker room is set up. Doesn't have an old school weight gym feel so if that is the sort of thing you look for in a gym, it's not for you. If you want fully functional, accommodating facilities with rehab equipment, this is it. It's good for most.

Karen Lacey 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym in town, especially for families with kids that are too young to use the fitness equipment but too old for typical child care. Kidfit has great fun options for older kids while their parents work out

L FG 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: The staff and amenities have always been 5 star. There are so many classes to participate in! Really, something for the entire family. Many gyms harass the client when they choose to close their account; Fort Sanders makes it easy to leave and easy to return.

Greg Spradling 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Best money I've ever spent on my boys. They love "The Fort" and would live there if they were allowed.
