New Start Fitness

Fantastic experience: I have been going there for over a year now and I really enjoy it. Brooks makes the workouts engaging and is quick with tips and form corrections if necessary. The workouts are challenging, and you can definitely feel improvement. Both New Start and Brooks get an easy 5 stars!

Fantastic experience: I was a complete newbie to lifting weights when I started at New Start 4 yrs ago. My lack of experience made the gym intimidating and the my ADHD made sticking to my own training plan impossible. Thanks to the trainers and community at new start I'm a certified gym girl now! Every class is a challenge but designed to grow with you at whatever level you're at. There is never a boring class and there is always a banging playlist.

Fantastic experience: 5/5!!! Attended my first (ever) workout/weight/HIT class today. My experience at New Start Fitness was incredible! Todays class was ‘Glute Camp’. The class may have kicked my ass but the coaching and environment was 10/10! Brooks Dean the owner and today’s coach was patient, educational, motivational and coached me through every movement! My intimidation of weights and group workout classes is gone- Looking forward to starting my membership!

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a gym that offered variety in strength training and cardio and I really wanted trainers who cared about their members. This gym is it!! When I leave a workout, I just feel happy because everyone is so uplifting, encouraging, and accepting!

Fantastic experience: First time joining a class here and it was great. Brookes was welcoming, informative, and did a great job with the class. Will definitely be back for more workouts.

Fantastic experience: This is hands down the best gym in Knox County. Brooks and the other trainers are so encouraging, the workouts change every day and the trainers adjust them so that you are challenged no matter your ability or restrictions. They get to know every person and push you while making sure your form is correct so you don't damage your body. I can't say enough good things about New Start Fitness!

Fantastic experience: Great instructors and workout!

Fantastic experience: This gym is a gem! I've been taking classes for a few weeks and everyone has been so welcoming. Brooks is great about meeting you where you are and then pushing you to the next level. I'd highly recommend New Start Fitness to anyone looking for a gym!

Fantastic experience: New Start is my go-to place for great workouts in a positive and fun environment. This place is for everyone regardless of age or fitness level! I cannot say enough about the training staff - they really care about your fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: I started coming to New Start earlier this year, and I cannot say enough good things about this place! The trainers truly care about you and make you feel welcomed right away. They make sure you are using proper form and are great at providing accommodations when necessary. I’ve never had a bad workout here and I can confidently say it’s the best gym in Knoxville!

Fantastic experience: I just joined a couple of weeks ago. I have tried classes at National Fitness Club, CrossFit, etc. I finally found this gym after a few months of being here and it's been great. The workouts are always different and always challenging. The trainers pay attention the WHOLE TIME and they give form cues, modifications, and up your weight when its time :) Can't say enough good stuff- If you're looking for a gym- THIS IS THE PLACE!

Fantastic experience: I started coming here about a few months ago and it’s been a game changer not for my physical health but my mental health as well….I joined not just a gym, but a family! The trainers are so caring and supportive- they truly want you to feel your best and see you grow! I feel like you get so much more out of the classes than any other gym because they emphasize safety and proper form and they SHOW you instead of telling you what to adjust. Everyone is respectful and it’s definitely an environment where you can feel comfortable and confident the way you are…like I said- this place is different and YES YOU GON GET THAT WORKOUT…believe that! But you will also feel like you are growing as a person too and have so many people rooting you on and helping you along the way! This place is a hidden gem and I’m so grateful I found it! If you want to feel good, have fun, make friends, push beyond your own expectations, get strong and feel like a BOSS…this is the place!

Fantastic experience: New Start Fitness is a gym for everyBODY! No matter your age, size, color, or fitness level you are made to feel welcome and wanted when you walk through those doors. The members are like family. Brooks that owns the gym is very hands on and helps provide guidance throughout classes. This place is an incredible gym and the pricing beats everyone in town! I 10/10 recommend this place. Best gym in Knoxville!

Fantastic experience: Best gym & people around!

Fantastic experience: The best workout I've ever had. The staff is amazing and keeps you motivated with their encouragement. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Coach Brooks an awesome coach! The classes are challenging in the best way possible.

Fantastic experience: Coach Brooks brings the heat! Love this place. Great atmosphere and community!

Fantastic experience: New Start is a gym for everyone! Each class is different and every trainer has something unique to offer. I’ve never had a gym community like this and love being apart of it.

Fantastic experience: Brooks is such an amazing motivator! Classes are fun, challenging and welcoming. Give them a try, you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: I love this gym! I’ve been going to New Start for right at one month now. I have always been involved in athletics and have struggled to find a gym and workouts I enjoy after college athletics. I’ve tried many other gyms and personal trainers over the past 2 years and in the past month here I’ve already seen more results and can lift heavier. I’ve taken classes from all the trainers and I like them all! Everyone has been very welcoming and friendly and helps to push you. 10/10 recommend!

Fantastic experience: I began at New Start Fitness in January 2022. It was the best decision I ever made!! Everyone there is so nice and I have NEVER, EVER felt judged. Brooks always makes sure that your form is good when lifting and is so good at gently pushing you when he knows you can do more. He is so encouraging and understanding. Working out should be challenging but fun at the same time and this is the place to find both!! I’ve made so many friends here and I literally can’t wait to go back to the next class! I can not recommend NSF enough!! You won’t regret it!!

Fantastic experience: I've been attending New Start for almost a year now. I've never been in better shape in my life. Brooks and the rest of the trainers put so much effort into creating classes that are both challenging and inviting to everybody. Truly a gym for people from all backgrounds and varying fitness levels.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fell in love with this gym! Fantastic instructors and incredible classes. I have been coming here for a few weeks now and haven't had the same class twice. Great way to challenge yourself and keep the workouts interesting.

Fantastic experience: I just wanted to say give a shout out to this amazing fitness center. When I was having problems with belly fat, I was able to go in and get fun, structure and results. If you are looking for a hymn that will make sure that they take great care of you and don’t leave you alone. This is the place you need to be. Shout out to Brooks Dean the amazing trainer and owner that also have Body By Brooks BBB kudos kkeep up the good work!!!!

Fantastic experience: I love working out with Brooks and the other trainers! They are able to create workouts for all abilities and are very encouraging! The atmosphere feels like a family and is not intimidating in the least!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member since January 2021. Joining was the best decision that I have made. The trainers are great and accommodating. New Start truly has a family feel. Come and check it out!

Fantastic experience: I was in a weight loss plateau before joining New Start Fitness. I’m down 10 pounds in 4 weeks! Brooks and his group of trainers truly care about making a positive impact on your fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: I have attended New Start Fitness for going on 6 years this year and I have personal trained with Brooks for 5 of those 6 years. I am truly in the best shape I have ever been in. The classes are amazing and the trainers are incredible! New Start Fitness offers classes for anyone of any fitness level and every exercise can be modified. The moment you walk in the gym, the atmosphere is energetic, positive, and everyone is very welcoming! I highly recommend checking out NSF, you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: I started going to New Start about a year ago, and I love it. I live about 30 minutes away and tried many gyms closer to me, but none felt right until New Start. All the trainers are great, and they will work with your individual fitness level. Everyone there is so nice, and it’s not crazy competitive like some gyms I’ve been to. New Start Fitness feels like a family. Brooks is awesome and always encourages you to be your best. I couldn’t give a higher recommendation.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym so much. I moved to Knoxville from out of state a few months ago and was looking for a gym that was more group oriented to help meet people in the area and this gym turned out to be the perfect fit for me. Every very single trainer has come up to me personally to say hi and make me feel comfortable and welcomed when I took their classes for the first time; plus, the workouts are awesome, I usually burn at least 500 calories every time. Going to classes has become my favorite part of my week!

Fantastic experience: Our school organization CHAARG has visited New Start several times over the last 2 years and we have always had so much fun! The trainers are so encouraging and push you to do your very best in a really energetic atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: One of the best workouts ever!! Brooks is so encouraging and helpful!

Fantastic experience: I found New Start Fitness during the summer of 2021, in the middle of the pandemic. I was searching for a gym that would help me feel better, not just physically, but mentally. After my first class, I knew I had found the right place. All of the instructors are welcoming, knowledgeable, always there to help adjust for proper body mechanics and encourage me to lift more weight. I always look forward to classes, knowing that I'll most likely get to laugh while working out with this great community of people and that I'll feel stronger afterwards. I'm grateful to have found this place!

Fantastic experience: They have so many trainers and class options for those at different workout levels.Everyone is so positive and helpful and I look forward to coming to class every week.I would recommend this gym to everyone!

Fantastic experience: Yesterday was my first class at New Start Fitness in Knoxville. It was the glute burn class with Brookes. Absolutely incredible! When I got home I signed up for the unlimited class immediately. When I was first researching a gym for me, I was looking for a sense of community and a variety of classes. I love working out, but am not determined by myself nor push myself-- happy I can acknowledge and was able to make the choice for myself to find a gym family. Also, I can't do the same thing every day or a similar workout every day-- Honestly, I get burnt out. New Start checked all of my boxes online! Attending a trial class verified all of my assumptions and more!! Brookes pushes you in a way that makes you feel more confident in your abilities, but in no way makes you feel shameful for taking a break in the middle of a set. The atmosphere is contagious- full of life and support! Class participants are mixed with a variety of workout backgrounds, bodies, strength, experience-- Everyone has a spot in this gym! I mean who actually laughs and smiles during a workout that leaves your glutes feeling like noodles by the end. Incredible place! I'm excited to try the pilates class tonight and be part of the New Fitness fam.

Fantastic experience: I went here for a workout through a club I am in and it was awesome! All the employees knew what they were doing, such as form with the weights and the environment was very encouraging. Never smiled or laughed as much as I did while working as hard as I was.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality such a cool gym with very friendly owners that push you to your highest potential! the workouts presented were fun, challenging, and creative!

Fantastic experience: I’m a newbie to a class structure program. I must say the instructors are awesome and a nice mix of opportunities to try different personalities, styles and levels of fitness...2017. I have now joined this amazing family and love the staff, clients and owners. Could not of asked for a better environment to start my POUND business.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of many different gyms over the years, but I always lacked the motivation to attend regularly. I tried a free class at New Start Fitness and was immediately hooked. There is a variety of classes that range from weight lifting, cardio, dance, yoga, bodyweight, pound, and more! I have never been so motivated to workout in my life. Brooks is a fantastic trainer and has created a wonderful, supportive community at New Start Fitness. They definitely push you hard to do your best. I highly recommend trying it out!

Fantastic experience: I love my gym! I became a member almost 2 years ago and so thankful I did. The staff, trainers and members are all are great to work with and everyone is so encouraging! Couldn’t ask for a better place to workout!!

Fantastic experience: such a cool gym with very friendly owners that push you to your highest potential! the workouts presented were fun, challenging, and creative!

Fantastic experience: Great class offerings that work well with my work schedule. Everyone there super nice and very encouraging. Instructors very good at motivating and showing variations of moves for different fitness levels. Can pay by the class or can join. Must schedule classes in advance.

Fantastic experience: I love coming to NSF! This gym holds classes at a variety of times throughout the week making it super easy and convenient to workout! I always feel comfortable coming to class because of the diversity of people who attend. Sometimes it can be intimidating working out in a group, but all levels are welcome and everyone is always so encouraging. :) Come try it yourself!

Fantastic experience: New Start Fitness (NSF) is an exceptional gym. To be honest its more than a gym; they’re family. Everyday I look forward to the good calorie burn and LAUGHS. I’m grateful to have found such an intentional and well rounded fitness/wellness space. NSF offers a variety of classes/workout routines, no matter your fitness level. The trainers really do an amazing job of assessing fitness level, tailoring workouts specifically to fit your ability. I totally love it here!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely one of my favorite gyms. A great community. Very safe and clean. Everyone is kind and genuine while pushing you to meet your health goals. Safety is #1 and the coaches are very knowledgeable. A wide range of classes and opportunities that allow anyone to exercise. 12/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE! The owners are simply amazing! The trainers are spot on with their classes! The friends I work out with make me work hard and laugh all at the same time. This is the total package!!

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t ask for a better gym. Was only here for 3 months for work and everyone was so welcoming, they offer so many different class options, and they truly made you want to come to the gym (which is not a natural place for me to want to be usually). It’s like one big work out family!

Fantastic experience: Great workout in a friendly environment

Fantastic experience: I love NSF! They offer a large variety of classes and are adding new classes and class times all the time. The staff is great and they are very active on social media, always responding to questions in a timely manner. Plus- no contracts! Pay per class or get a class package, or monthly unlimited option!
